When I first came up with the idea for this podcast, I knew I wanted to share couples’ stories as well. This entire episode had me laughing and smiling. I think even not knowing this couple, they will have you smiling as well too. Clint + Crissy Proffitt are the storytellers on this episode. They share how they met, when they started dating and how they have navigated their relationship for the last 24 years. They chat about how there is no place for yelling or disrespect in their relationship, teamwork is key, how they stay connected in this busy world and how being together resets them.

This chat with Kara Bligh, of Pretty HOL Life, was so eye-opening. Kara shares her journey of how she changed her life because of pregnancy and being a 1st-time mom to a more holistic life. She dives deep on a few products we can look for in the products we use on ourselves and our children. How our skin care products have not had updated regulations since 1933. She talks about how she learned to look outside the box for answers for her children and her own life. We cover postpartum anxiety, learning to trust your mom (or parent) intuition and little shifts we can make in our homes to be more conscientious of what we are putting on or in our bodies.

Her starter list to check your products to see if they contain: fragrance, parabens, phthalates...

Bridgit Norris left home when she was 12. 12. Insert wide-eyed emoji. She shares this story and the lessons she learned along the way. With being on her own so early, she shares how that molded her to help empower women and now also girls.

How as parents we can set a safe environment for our children to talk to us in a judge free space.

As I always say, Bridgit is a total powerhouse and I think you will definitely feel that energy in this episode!   Bridgit Norris is a success and empowerment coach and a mentor to girls.   You can connect with her at: https://mailchi.mp/bridgitnorris/stucktounstoppable   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgitnorris/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bridgit.norris   Learn more about Danielle Atkisson and The Silver Lining Life:  Website Facebook

Welcome to 2019! I thought the best way to start the year was by sharing my story of how I found myself and created my business.

I cover ways to find your passion and also how to make and stick to resolutions this year.

Hang on to your hats, this episode is going to be an incredible ride. Keri shares soooo many great stories on this episode. She tells her story about how she decided it was time to leave her corporate job. Which leads us to talk about how we are constantly given signs and how if we choose to follow them it opens up so many opportunities. If you aren’t familiar with signs, she teaches how to notice and ask for them. We talk about timing and how everything happens in divine perfect timing. Keri talks about reaching out for help and creating a tribe that you can count on and be real with. She also shares an incredible lesson on giving and receiving that we all need to hear. And there is sooo much more!

One of my biggest takeaways: I finally decided to get off the curb and on the road and in the rink and do something.

Nichole is the absolute Queen of Christmas. She creates fun and magic all year round to keep the spirit of the season going. Nichole and I chat about the importance of memories and traditions and how we can create those for our children. We also talk about how as parents we have to learn to let our kids create and do their own thing which isn’t always easy. We talked a lot about how the memories of our childhood shape our adult traditions but how we always have the opportunity to create new if life has thrown us curveballs or we didn’t have those warm and fuzzy traditions growing up.    The biggest takeaway for me: “It’s never too late to start new traditions. It’s never too late to start making new memories!”   Nichole is a mama, wife, and director of a daycare from Indiana. She embodies Christmas so fully! She is so fun, upbeat and an absolute delight.   For  Santa Tracking: noradsanta.org We Care Park: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6fdLMZHckz0 a little taste for those not from Indiana.   Learn more about Danielle Atkisson and The Silver Lining Life:  Website Facebook
