Special welcome to a real powerhouse in the coaching space, Heather Chauvin. Author, Speaker, and Host of widely listened to podcast called Mom Is In Control, Heather is also a very dear friend. When you’re vulnerable and accountable for your own feelings and needs, willing to confront situations instead of avoid them, ironically you build stronger bonds. Proud to share her energy, and her work with the people in my world - more inspiration than educator, I'll take her advice and "eat the damn chips."

Do you have someone in your life who gives more than they take? What about someone who inspires you to dream bigger? That type of appreciation is something that transcends circumstances, and is unlikely to be changed or taken away I think... Today's guest is one of those people to me, and I'm really excited to share her story with you in a few different ways this morning. Selena Soo is a publicity and marketing strategist who helps people reach millions with their stories that matter.

What do I mean by inner identity? Outwardly there are a lot of ways we can understand ourselves, and those identities help others to know us, and us to know ourselves. But the inner ways we identify are also very important. Knowing these unique personal signatures allow us to express ourselves clearly, to make decisions easily, and to simplify complex situations. When we understand who we are, it helps us to connect with community cross-sectionally, not just vertically. In this episode, I share a bit about my own identity values, how I live those out, and explicitly break down how this relates to cultivating self trust. By the end of the show the listener also walks away with a 3-step process for increasing self trust and coming into greater alignment with their own values.

Coincident to the start of Black History Month, today I want to focus on the need to be specific about our identity premise, how it relates to happiness, and how accessing our personal power and remaining in integrity actually require that we do.

When I think about Dorian's defining qualities, four leapt to mind: the power of consistency, self belief, building bridges, and bravery. When you hear his background, you'll probably understand the bravery piece right away. When you see him as the motor of his brand in action, you'll understand the consistency piece. We touch on self belief in this episode, but it's the building bridges piece that's my favorite and actually least explored during our conversation.

I see Dorian as a way-shower of sorts: someone who broke out of his own conditions / conditioning and stands before us as an example of integrity, healing, and generosity. The subtle differences are often the most important, and Dorian maintains his hope in others, and belief in others, just as much as he hoped and believed in himself through his own growth process. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

New direction with the show today, I woke up and wanted to speak, not script. This conversation is an uncommon kind of vulnerability - less related to the content of my past, present or future than it is to the literal process of self awareness / raising consciousness: demonstrated in part today by figuring out the purpose of my musings as I go instead of mapping it ahead of time.

Among other things, this show provides an example of the personal accountability inside my head that doubles as a vacuum for joy from even the smallest of gifts: rented ski poles.

Today we have something really special. I create in 9’s, so every 9th show closes a cycle, completes a minor journey in our great journey together.  This is a universal truth: completion allows new beginnings. Death is a vital part of life, not something to fear.

Some of us had someone to read us stories when we were little. Some of us didn’t. What I’d like to do is give 9th shows over to the telling of classic children’s stories. All you have to do is show up, sit back, and prepare to enjoy.

I hope by reading you a story today you can receive something beloved but forgotten; maybe you can recover something that was once thought to be lost forever.

In line with the theme of rebirth, and new beginnings, our first story will be about a plush little toy who wanted so much to belong, to be loved, and to be real. Welcome to 2021 everyone. I present to you: The Velveteen Rabbit.

This last episode of 2020, I wanted to share a reflection I made about the unlikely similarities between my father's work in disaster restoration, and my own with healing and transformation. My gift is in seeing a book for more than its cover, and I hope it inspires you to do the same as we collectively "catch the lights" on 2020.

This episode is about gratitude, appreciation, causality, and choosing our success instead of seeking it. "Happiness when" is a recipe for dissatisfaction; Mandy breaks down how appreciation can provide an equation for success that is sustainable over the longterm.
