I think it is so important to use that creative energy we're all born with. Get a pad and some pencils and draw yourself a doodle. Take some time to let that creativity out and I'm pretty sure it'll change your whole life.

Thank you, Eugene Wilder, for singing Pure Imagination to me all day long today. 

A little different today. I'm freestyling about this clerk that was so kind and helpful at the post office. You've got to recognize positivity when you experience it in someone else - and this clerk was the epitome of kindness for me today.

Also, send me pictures of your glow in the dark manicures - I'm so curious!

Also also - I like the post office, don't get me wrong! But I always feel stressed and in a hurry when I'm there. Maybe it comes from running errands as quickly as possible as a kid or something. I don't know, but my mail carrier is the nicest and always says hello to me *and* my dog children. Which is awesome. 

Today we’ll be discussing much more than the days of the week, and which one’s our favorite, though. We’ll discuss how to get into the mindset to make everyday the best day of the week.

I mentioned a work by Author Pam Grout: "Thank & Grow Rich" - this book has been very helpful in getting me started on my mindset shift journey. And you should definitely check her out if you have a chance: https://pamgrout.com/

Today we’ll be talking about a favorite topic of mine - travel and adventure! I, like many, love to travel - new places, new sights and sounds, and new foods - always a favorite. But what about when the vacation is over? How do we keep that spirit alive and well in our day to day? That’s our discussion today.

Today for Self-Care Saturday, we’ll speak about the power of self-affirmations, how to do them, and why you should even consider talking to yourself. 

Today we're discussing Imposter Syndrome and how it affects all parts of your life - and what you can do about it.

I laugh at myself daily - do you?

In this episode, I'll talk to you about one of my favorite ways to bring positive thoughts into my brain and push out that little voice in my head that creates self-doubt. It's fun, simple, and a little bit woo-woo (one of my favorite words), and it'll help to brighten your day. 

Thanks for listening!
