Couch 2 Fire

There is a lot of energy expelled when I interview someone or communicate with new people. LOTS of ENERGY involved, LOL! When people think that way, it means we are INTROVERTS. Because seriously, I'd rather be home, vegging out, eating a bowl of cereal in sweatpants than pushing through my comfort zone and connecting with others! But as I get to know people, I realize that many of my friends are the same as me: introverts! But this is a great thing! In fact, it just may be a superpower of ours! My dear friend, Darren Carrington, a minister from Fullerton Church, author, husband secretly has this superpower! How can this be when he's the minister of church! He's always in front of his congregation, talking. Please join me as we dive into Darren's process on how he copes with doing extroverted activities and why we should honor this personality and turn it into a skill to work to our advantage.

One of the newest trends in my daughter's school is instilling mindfulness exercises to the entire school. I think that's a wonderful idea. I truly respect people that are practicing mindfulness. Please meet my dear friend Karma Dema. She lives in Bhutan, which I hear is the HAPPIEST COUNTRY in the WORLD. Bhutan is the country measures not the GDP but measures the happiness of its citizens. So talking about mindfulness, Karma is the perfect person to discuss the art of the practice. The best part about Mindfulness is there is NO JUDGEMENT in the meditation. Just being in the present. Please join us in our talk about mindfulness.

Hope and desires get past to our lives from our ancestors. I grew up as a tomboy, trying to figure out who I really was and what I represented. I am still figuring this out! Who is Simona? And what do i represent? As I live my life and grow, nothing feels better than getting support from other women. I am fortunate to have a group of women that have been supporting my journey from the beginning. The tribe or village mentality has really helped my journey to become the best I can be. I talk to one of the biggest supporters of Women Empowerment: my dear friend Samahe Sabir. Samahe is a strong and beautiful soul that truly supports this view and shares with us her personal journey to find courage and empower herself while coaching others along the way. If you don't have a tribe already, we welcome you to join ours. Have a listen.
