Finding Meaning

This podcast will teach you how to get over your fear of failure and start living a life worth sharing. In this podcast, we'll share Bobbi Kahler's personal story of success and failure, as well as 4 recipes for self-coaching that can help you learn from your mistakes, find out what's holding you back, and how to learn your way forward.

The other critical piece is to learn your way forward.  It is almost impossible to know everything we need to know before we start – and that is not a reason to wait.  It simply means that we need to become students of learning the skills, behaviors and mindsets that will make us successful.  These are all learnable behaviors and skills; they are not innate things that we are born with or not.  They can be learned and developed the same as any other skill, like learning to ride, ski, or hit a ball.  We may not become great at them overnight, but they can be learned, practiced, and mastered.

Most people haven’t heard a doctor tell them, “You shouldn't be alive.”  Bobbi has.  And her personal story of rebuilding her health to become a vibrant athlete is inspiring and offers hope to listeners that anything is possible for them.  It also gives her credibility as she hasn’t just studied these concepts; she has lived them – and, in fact, is alive because of them.  Bobbi blends her storytelling ability with her experience coaching thousands of people and her graduate studies to deliver key insights and practical steps forward.

Bobbi’s signature strength is helping people to get off the bench and move towards their goals. She believes that while goal setting and vision are important, it is more important to start something. Nothing happens until you do, so she offers listeners proven ways of getting in the game by putting themselves on course for achieving what they want most from life.

In this episode, Mark & Annette chat with Darrell and Veronica Williams about how to build your relationship on the right foundation, what it means to be vulnerable with each other, why it's important to maintain an intimate connection with your spouse, and more!

Every couple can have a healthy marriage. Couples often find themselves in the world of "we're in it together, or we're not even." If you want to have a successful marriage, there needs to be a divorce from yourself. You must be willing to share everything that's going on without criticism. This might involve things that are important to your marriage but don't really seem like an issue at the moment. Sharing encourages couples to collaborate and work through what life throws their way together.

Mark and Annette have an inspiring conversation with Meridith Alexandar. Meridith is a best-selling author, powerhouse mompreneur, and top female motivational speaker who has become known for inspiring high-level professionals and entrepreneurs to venture beyond the place where their beliefs stop them -- all thanks to a plummeting boulder that changed her "old normal" into the destiny that she embraces today.

Meridith challenges you to explore the boundaries of endless possibilities, positive expectations, and deliberate creation.

With the remarkable life and death challenges that were laid firmly at her feet, she learned that it's these tiny individual seeds of Greatness that live waiting to be cultivated within our own minds. Then, as we master our own mindset and discover the real beauty within our own story, we become free to empower others and to go on to create "impossible" things.

Annette, Mark & Meridith have experienced "impossible" boulders that have turned our ordinary lives into epic ones. 

In this conversation, we focus on transforming the impossible into the “I’m Possible” and how ordinary people are capable of achieving EPIC things that seem totally “unrealistic” when they know how to fuse their inner game with the outer game.

In fact, we believe that it's thanks to these "impossible" boulders that our ordinary lives have become epic lives and that your "impossible" boulders can have that same effect on you.

Meridith's daughter Schuyler survived the “unsurvivable,” and she became her 24/7 caregiver. 

We discuss parts of the journey and some real tools/insights that will help you obliterate your blind spot thinking and self-doubt to start unleashing the more epic version of yourself regardless of the circumstances.

Meridith would love to offer you the chance to hop onto a 20-minute UNLEASH THE EPIC YOU strategy call with her to see where you might be getting in your own way. bit.ly/GOEPICNOW
