  • Reclaim Your Inner Strength and Energy

    Show Host: Nancy May, Author How to Survive 911 Medical Emergencies, Step-by-Step Before, During, After!  Expert in managing the path of step-by-step caring for an aging parent or family member, even from over 1200 miles away, or more. For a Free File-of-Life to www.howtosurvive911.com.

    Guest:  Joan Sotkin Founder & CEO of Prosperity Place, Inc. Prosperity and Mindset mentor.

    In this fabulously interesting show Joan Sotkin and I discuss ways to take control of our own energy and inner thoughts: good, bad, and indifferent. Those three or so pounds of gray matter control everything.  Most times our brain works with us, but sometimes it sabotages us.  Joan helps us better understand how much our mental state impacts our actions.  Together, we’ll work through an exercise that can help us learn how to better manage our minds, thoughts, and actions. Trust me, you’ll feel totally different after listening to this program and working through this exercise with us.  It’s easier than you might imagine. 

    Joan Sotkin guides people on energy journeys to find and learn how to better use their inner strengths to express their true selves through their business or profession. Over the years, she has developed a high degree of intuition that allows her to see a side of her clients they seldom see themselves. Combined with decades of business experience, Joan’s intuitive approach has helped men and women quickly gain a new understanding of who they really are and discover new ways to move forward, in their business and personal lives with renewed energy and strength.

  • Situational Awareness: Do You Know What You've Gotten Into?

    Show Host: Nancy May, Author How to Survive 911 Medical Emergencies, Step-by-Step Before, During, After!  Expert in managing the path of step-by-step caring for an aging parent or family member, even from over 1200 miles away, or more. For a Free File-of-Life to www.howtosurvive911.com

    Guest:  Colonel Brian Searcy (Ret) USAF, CEO, the Paratus Group

    Have you ever had that funny feeling that something just wasn’t right? Or walked into a care facility and thought, things look good but what am I missing? Or I’m afraid that mom’s not telling me everything I need to know?  In some circles that’s called intuition, others, gut instinct, and some even call it ESP. Some of us may know that’s the part of our human makeup that keeps us safe, yet many of us don’t know how to use that “feeling” or instinct to keep our parents, family, and ourselves safe.  Listen to this discussion, with our guest, Colonel Brian Searcy, who describes what to listen for in your guts, how to hone that skill, and what we can do to sharpen that natural born instinct that can mean a better road ahead for those we know and love. It’s called understanding about and working with situational awareness.

    Colonel Searcy, the founder of The Paratus Group, was a decorated combat veteran and had a senior leadership career in the USAF. He now teaches how to be more aware of potential threats that may erupt around us, whether from being in your own home, in a care facility, doctor’s office, hospital, or just sitting at a restaurant.

  • #1 - Finding Home Again!

    There are more types of care facilities than what most of us are typically exposed to.  Besides the large heavily advertised assisted and independent living facilities, there are other options including small, intimate homes serving six or fewer elderly residents.  Learn from Kimberly Noyse, the founder and leader at Melody Care Homes, about what it takes to live a life of service by managing smaller, more personal care homes. You might be surprised in hearing some of the more personal and joyful stories, including some unique challenges. 

    There are good care facilities out there, but you need to do some serious research before signing on and moving your loved ones. Learn ways to evaluate a care facility to make sure it’s the right place to move someone you love into, if or when necessary.

    Guest:  Kimberly Adcox Noyse, founder and former of three personal aging care homes.
