New Year...New You? NO! Goals? Resolutions? Intentions? A word of the year? 

We are getting bombarded by this information in January, it happens every year but how can we fill in the gaps in the conversation? 

Pinpoint where the noise is coming from...most likely you guessed it, social media. You might be falling into confirmation bias which is the “tendency to process information by looking for or interpreting information that is consistent with one’s existing beliefs” 

Change is inevitable. But can we approach it from the the Curious Middleground?

TWO MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS to reflect on: 

1. What held you together this past year (2020)?
2. What is one thing you KNOW needs your attention in 2021?

Using a curiosity lens when managing your consumption of conflicting dialogue, inspo, and advice

1. Why do I respond the way that I do?
2. Am I protecting myself from disappointment I need to feel?
3. Do I actually NEED this advice/want the life of this person? 

So, if you're in the mood for a cup of tea, a hug and a kick in the butt all at once, you're in the right place!

Episode 3 is our FIRST interview! On the show today we have Melinda Bell. She is a retired English and broadcast journalism teacher. Before she taught, she was an executive in film and cable advertising across the U.S. She received her Masters in Mass Communications at the University of Denver in 1978. 

She also happens to be MY mother! And the best one I could possibly ask for. 

I debated having my mom as my first interview, (talk about dweeb) but she is TRULY one of the most intelligent & inspiring women I know! I think you are really going to appreciate and learn a lot from this genuine  conversation rooted in unconditional love & family.  WHOLESOME AF 

This episode we dive deep into her experience with a 24 hr digital detox, why she loves and values technology (especially in 2020), mental health struggles and the stigma that surrounds that, receiving a new diagnosis later in life, self- acceptance, what generations can learn from one another and why you should compliment strangers. 

We also talk about core values and Brene Brown’s list from Dare to Lead which you can find here: https://daretolead.brenebrown.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Values.pdf

It’s not all rainbows and butterflies in this interview but it’s real and raw!! She gives powerful insight into how expressing yourself and mental health struggles has changed in her lifetime, what to do if you don’t have unconditional love from your mother figure and advice to her younger self on how to navigate career changes, life changes and finding out who you are as you grow and change! 

So, if you're in the mood for a cup of tea, a hug and a kick in the butt all at once, you're in the right place!

In Episode 2, another solo episode this time on digital detox and specifically my own experience going completely off grid for 30 days while filming a T.V. program with no access to social media, my online business, phone, laptop or even a clock!

 I share my experience and what I noticed from my time away. At the end of the episode, I give you tangible tips you can try to implement RIGHT NOW to change your own personal boundaries with technology specifically your phone. Maybe you try them all or start with one that you think you will benefit from the most?

The first episode of Charge My Core! I definitely underestimated launching a podcast but I walk you through why I thought that NOW was the perfect time for a journey of self discovery TOGETHER and how I hope to inspire you to slow down and unplug and listen to yourself. 

Have you been waiting for an imaginary permission slip to START something?  

2020 has been a crash course in self discovery but this crash course didn't come with an instruction manual. Can you continue to focus on self acceptance and self discovery as you grow and change? 

As your host, I want to introduce to myself first before I dive into the content. Hear my cliff notes of what is at my core, my journey of self discovery thus far with several international moves, falling in love, changing career paths and navigating adulthood. 

I really hope Charge My Core gives you the platform to open your mind to new ways of thinking about things, new habits, different ways of life with all the inspiring guests, and open your mind to your relationship to technology because digital detox has been one of the most powerful tools for self awareness (besides moving half way across the world.) I'm here to guide YOU and empower YOU to understand YOU <3 

So, if you're in the mood for a cup of tea, a hug and a kick in the butt all at once, you're in the right place!
