Beautiful Second Act

I know we all want to be productive, but do we always have to push, push, push? The hustle & grind can become our default and so routine that it's addictive and we don't even know it.

In this episode I talk about how I recently witnessed people being fully present and leisurely with their community on an average Tuesday afternoon. This posed a question in my mind of... can we learn to be more present and less forceful in our lives?

If you are waiting on your work visa and cannot join the work force, what do you do? You start your own company online. That's what Jess Potgieter did when she came to the United States from Australia.

A delayed work visa and one pandemic later, Jess decided to take what she loved doing and created a business that focused on making people happy. The Rosy Redhead was born, and in this episode, Jess shares with us why she started the whimsical and floral stationary business that has evolved into so much more.

Life shouldn't be taken quite so seriously, and with Anna Lind Thomas in the house, you have to laugh.

This episode I talk to Anna about her recent book, I'm Not Ready for This, and we discuss how she came to be a humor writer in the first place. Her story about the fart, that went viral, and the whacky things that normal every day life brings is the forefront of our conversation.

"Real life if far more funny than anything you could make up," she was once told. When you listen to Anna and hear about her perspective on life, you will tend to agree.

Follow her on Instagram for a special entry to win a signed copy of her book.

I dreamed of feeling so happy that I'd be in awe that this could really be my life, instead of feeling... Is this really all there is?

I've been on this self-discovery journey and learned a key component to how people get to that place of blissful joy, even in everyday life. It's taken me quite awhile to get here and I fall off from my practice from time to time, but I can honestly say that living with an abundance of joy on a regular basis IS OBTAINABLE.

In today's episode, I have share my story of how I've ascended to this beautiful place in life and how you can too.

When you ask yourself the big question, "If what I'm doing now is all there is after the kids leave, will that be enough?" - it can be a life changing moment.

Many people have this crippling belief. I believed it for years and bought into the idea that it was the only way. I suffered and was trapped by this belief, until I found a way to let it go.

Listen today as I share with you an idea of how we can all live happier and freer lives by getting rid of a particular belief that plagues millions.

Just because you never imagine doing something doesn't mean you shouldn't try it. But what if it's jumping out of an airplane?

When I found out that an old friend of mine recently went skydiving, I had to know...what made her do it? 

In this interview with Kimberly Spear-Condon, she talks all about how her adventure of jumping out of a perfectly good plane was never her intention, but it changed her life.

From blowing up her 25 year marriage due to alcoholism, and suddenly finding herself with an empty nest, and living alone for the first time in her life, Maria had no other choice but to make some serious changes.

Maria's popular TedX video, "Turning Life's Challenges Into a Force for Good," had me on the edge of my seat. She wrote a book, (50 After 50), about the huge changes she made after turning 50, and candidly shared that with the world too.

But what I was not expecting to hear was about her experience with sexual assault, and the shocking news she learned from taking a 23 & Me DNA test.

Maria Leonard Olsen is a remarkable human that is living out her years serving others, while striving to grow spiritually stronger every day.
