In this episode of HappyTalks we interview empowerment coach, Nancy Banner.  Nancy discusses how she helps late blooming boomers think MUCH bigger for themselves and unleash their potential and rock the shit out of whatever time they have left here.  Nancy also demonstrates the power of tapping with the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

Nancy Banner was born a baby boomer, where she followed the rules of the generation, striving for career “success”, only to find that her dreams and “the formula” were not aligned. The more she tried to be a “good girl”, the more she rebelled. The more she rebelled, the more she got in my her way.

When she couldn’t take the frustration anymore, she made it her mission to face herself, unravel the layers of hidden programming, and put an end to the guilt and shame stopping her from living her best life.  Nancy is proof that it’s never too late to connect with your true essence; listen to and trust yourself; discover what lights you up; and live a life filled with aliveness, purpose and meaning.

#conflicts #conflict #resolve

As we are being advised or mandated to shelter in place and stay at home in social isolation due to COVID-19, we might be experiencing a sense of loneliness and disconnection.   I really dislike the term "social isolation" because it sounds very depressing, like every person is in it for themselves in solitude.   I think the more appropriate terms should be "physical distancing," and "temporary home bound." Because just because we need to stay physically away from each other, doesn't mean we can't socialize through all the MANY forms of technology available to us.  Now might be a better time than ever to hop on a phone call or FaceTime session with friends and relatives, to develop connection and community in the face of this global health crisis.  We need to be supporting each other more now than ever.  

We do suggest you following the recommendations given by experts, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO).  We are all learning more about the situation as each day goes on, and I am right there with you with the waiting and wondering what is going to happen.
