Grit, Grace, & Inspiration | Shift Your Mindset, Find Your Purpose, & Live Inspired

When you put a recently blinded teenager in the care of a "crazy" grandmother every day becomes a new adventure! Come along as you are given a insider's look into the often unbelievable, absolutely hysterical, and downright crazy situations me and my Nana found ourselves in. These stories are meant to bring a smile to your face and hopefully from time-to-time leave you cracking up!
Nana isn't on Facebook or Instagram, nor does she know how to use the email address we set up for her. And rarely does she even answer her cell phone. So, what I'm saying is... If you want to contact today's guest you'll just have to go through her grandson.

Kicking off the Season 2 Premier, Kevin tackles a popular topic of conversation that occurs this time of year - Setting intentions for the year ahead and making goals.

Everyone feels like they can't dare let the ball drop on New Year's Eve without having set in stone their New Year's Resolution. Lose 100 pounds. Finally get that body like the people on the front cover of the fitness magazines. Launch a new business and have it rocket to success within 6 months. And the list goes on.

But perhaps there's a much better way to approach the year... And that's exactly what Kevin is here to talk to you about!

With Christmas fast approaching and New Years not far behind I've decided that right now is the perfect opportunity to close out Season 1 of the podcast. My goal is to focus my attention on being present in the moment for the next few weeks. 2020 has taught us a lot, and one of the most important is just how quickly life can change, tomorrow is never guaranteed for any of us.

2020 was a rough year no doubt, so around here all focus is forward towards better days to come in 2021! I hope you'll stick around as I've got high hopes that Season 2 will be even better than the first!

Faced with the decision - Do I stay or do I go home, Lacey McLaughlin chose to stay. Living in Mexico during the height of COVID-19 Lacey would soon discover that choosing to ride out the worldwide pandemic from the beachside town of Playa del Carmen would be the best decision she could have ever made. There was not wide-spread panic nor a shortage of toilet paper, but rather plenty of tacos and beautiful beaches.

Lacey McLaughlin is a digital nomad, choosing to operate her writing and brand strategy business from anywhere with a good internet connection and a beautiful view. Her love for traveling was spurred at a young age, traveling to places like Africa and South America with her youth group. But on her 30th birthday, Lacey would find herself hiking Peru's Machu Picchu with a small group of complete strangers. This grueling yet somehow empowering experience set fire to something inside of her.

I had the pleasure to catch up with Lacey while she was still living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico where she spoke about what life had been like during the height of COVID-19. She also spoke openly about her passion for experiencing the world's cultures. Come along as I have a wonderful conversation about life and travel with Lacey McLaughlin!

*The book Lacey mentioned is, Travel as a Political Act by Rick Steves.

I was 17 years old when I awoke from surgery to find that I was left completely blind. No shapes nor shadows, no light, no color, just blackness.
One would have thought that my life was over. Everything I ever enjoyed was to be no more. Every dream or hope for the future was taken away. Everything in my life was taken from me, except for 2 things. My Faith and my family.

On the day of this episode's release Kevin is celebrating the 17th anniversary of the day his life was forever changed. But as you listen you will realize that this episode isn't about Kevin, it's made to be about you.
Kevin knows that what happened to him was for a reason, a good reason, a monumental reason. And therefor he shares his story in hopes that it will help someone else going through difficult times in their own life.
