Are you feeling the weight of uncertainty on your body right about now? Do you ever feel powerless about what's going on around us? Are you able to live with unanswered questions at least for a while? Andrea and I sit down to talk about this perfect storm of stress and anxiety that many of us are feeling everyday.

Often happenings in our community and in the world are outside of our control or impact. And yet thanks to social media, we get more news, much quicker than our minds can digest. We talk about the ways and methods that Dr. Andrea has been using for decades to help her clients live a more productive and less anxious life. Join us for the conversation. We'd love to hear from you at: [email protected] Tell us how you're handling this convergence of unsettling and threatening mix of stress provoking times.

Dorothy’s life has been a long and winding road, full of multiple roadblocks that tested how she came to terms with the interruptions. Facing off against a melanoma diagnosis, as well as a divorce that presented itself amidst the chaos, Dorothy used this time to find wisdom

and listen to her dreams, creating a much longer life path for herself than was predicted by the doctors.

Answering the call for adventure in her 40s, and choosing life on the road in her 60s, Dorothy refuses to settle for anything less than enriching new experiences. By learning exactly how to “handle the sh*t that happens,” Dorothy picks up insightful tidbits of wisdom over the years, which she fervently shares with our listeners. While befriending her “battles,” chasing wonderful moments of coincidence, embracing ever-evolving perspective, and choosing to examine interruption, Dorothy relates her lessons to her most impactful life events, and encourages listeners to continue learning. After all, “life is a classroom!”

Extremely accomplished Dr. Amy has had goals set out for her entire adult life, be it pursuing university teaching with her phD in social work, or the incredible drive she has felt to have children. When a sudden change in careers sets her life off balance, Amy finds herself in an entirely different place, career-wise, relationship-wise and in an entirely new country!

As the pressure to follow a pre-scripted life finally is lifted, Amy becomes aware of perfect timing that lies at the opposite end, shaping her new life. As you listen to her journey, consider how flipping life on its head can reveal the truth about who we are. When we turn our attention to the already opened doors before us, we gain a new power to explore paths not taken and find a life that suits us better.

After all, maybe the paths not chosen were actually closed doors meant to protect us all along?

Dominic has been in a serene place of contentment in his photography career for years, until one day inspiration to explore wraps him up tightly, and a coincidental notice to move out of his apartment leaves him with almost no choice but to seize the opportunity. Following this persistent calling to live freely and see the world, lively and ambitious Dominic tells two daring tales of spontaneous travel and adventure, both in the Australian outback and down the winding road of Central and South America.

Dominic’s stories communicate the incredible nature of life’s path, and how it always seems to lead him to the exact place where he needs to be. Success is interrupted at just the perfect moment, job opportunities fall at his feet, essential recoveries from work are presented, and intuition (“spidey-sense”) is tuned into right when it is needed most. Dominic’s story is an inspirational and motivating tale, giving the listener incentive to make time for adventure, as this is what unlocks the authentic self and grows real empathy for others.

We sit down with Darrell to talk about her path in life including raising children as a single mom, alcoholic husband, friendship that leads to love, 2nd marriage and a slew of professional endeavors and successes. Listen in to how things just "fall in front of her" and how she continues to adopt to the circumstances that arise in her life. Darrell's energy is contagious and her comfort of speaking her truth is heart warming from beginning to end.
