Vicki interviews The Motherpreneur, Christina Waschko. Christina shares the motivating story of how she kissed her excuses goodbye and opened the business of her dreams. Christina is a world traveller, host of Motherpreneur TV on Youtube, and the author of The Strawberry Lounge Story which chronicles her adventures as an entreprenuerial mother of three growing boys. She is an energized, no-nonsense take action spark plug. Plus, she is a pajama fan (so kindred).

Vicki offers up a simple three step process for making difficult decisions – let go, tune in, and move forward. Letting go is all about tackling resistance to make room for assistance – the kind we get from the Universe. By tuning in and being mindful we discover what we truly desire and allow our intuitive choices to emerge so we can take action. And then, as in the words of Goethe "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

Have you ever had a streak of 'bad luck', lost a great contract, or asked yourself: Why is this happening? Vicki looks at the principles of certainty and uncertainty and explores ways to develop resiliency and equanimity as we face changes that seem beyond our control. She offers insight into how we might start to figure out what is trying to happen as we deal with everyday uncertainty and our very human need to predict the future.

Vicki takes us on a tour of affirmation writing and how we can use it to improve mood, attitude, and well-being. Despite a nasty cold, she shares three very useful affirmation tools, and based on the work of Louise Hay, offers insight into the possible metaphysical causation of illnesses like the common cold. At about 27:00 the podcast closes with meditative music and a spoken word affirmation that you can use every day to bring health, happiness, and fresh new perspectives.

Vicki talks music and happiness with Greg Stuart, a musician, composer, lyricist and audio technician. Greg is why we sound so good on the podcast and his original song "Before and Again" is our theme music. We chat live from his studio about the science of music, music as a life passion, and the importance of lifelong learning. Greg tells us how he got started as a drummer at age six, and how he made music his career. We are also treated to four minutes of the beautiful "Dontcha Know" from the Tusket CD, which is a perfect pajama song. You can find Greg at Grene Genes Productions.
