I had such an interesting and enlightening interview today with Sandy Vo. Sandy is a Meditation Teacher and the Founder of Royal Glow Meditation Retreat.

Her signature transformation program is called Prosperous: School of Self-realization, a 90-day integrative breakthrough experience for modern-day leaders. Sandy speaks on stages, hosts live events, and facilitates experiences for people to remember their true nature. She supports others in bridging the gap between the outer world of achievements and the inner world of fulfillment. She offers a heart-centered holistic approach that integrates the mind, body, and spirit.  She guides individuals, no matter how busy, to experience life’s greatest prosperity: Self-realization. She is also the co-founder of a conscious media platform, Ladies Aligned. Her work creates positive momentum for current and future generations.

Because I know that we have a lot of mothers that are entrepreneurs, and like most mothers, we are always putting our needs last, I wanted to bring Sandy on the show to help guide us through and speak to us about the power of meditation and self-realization for our wellbeing.

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Dennis Gillan.  Dennis is the Executive Director at Half A Sorrow Foundation, as well as an advocate for mental health and a speaker. We will be discussing a very tough subject today, suicide.  But this topic needs to be addressed so that we can reach more people and help stop the cycle of pain that leads to suicide, and show people how important it is to take care of your mental health.

Dennis is not only an advocate, but he has also lived through the pain of losing family to suicide. By hearing his story and how determined he is to help those around him work through their issues and learn to handle life’s hard times without resorting to suicide, further justified to me how important mental health really is.  It was a very eye-opening conversation, and all I can say is that we are blessed to have someone like Dennis to help guide all of us on how to support our mental health, as well as the people around us.

Main topics we discuss:

Risk factors

Warning signs

Positive Coping Skills

Mental Health Awareness

Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Marlayna Glynn, a Memoirist and Publisher.  She is an award-winning storyteller on page, film, and photography and she is the creator of Birthright Books, LLC, a writing and publishing house dedicated to the art of creating memoirs.

Marlayna was so interesting to talk to, not only do I admire her work, but I admire the way she approaches her writing. Her love and determination to put her stories and the stories of her clients out into the world was fascinating. It was very interesting to me how she can interconnect memories into stories, to reflect the true authentic life story of the people that she writes for as a ghostwriter.

Additional topics we will discuss in this episode:

• The process to getting your ideas in a format that is best for a book.
• Writing a memoir, even if you are not a writer.
• What do I include and not include in a story?
• How does a ghostwriter work?
• Spiritual guidance

It was a joy to interview Marlayna and discuss so many topics and life experiences that we have in common. I know I gained a lot of great information that will help me with my continued journey of writing my memoir.

Do people call you forgetful? Or do you feel like you forget to do things on a daily basis, no matter how much you want to remember.  Not the out of the ordinary things, but things like losing track of time, forgetting about your food in the refrigerator, forgetting that you bought a new outfit or appliance and find it weeks later? Then you might have ADHD.

Today, I will talk about how ADHD takes a toll on my life on a daily basis. How I manage to run a successful business, despite my struggles with ADHD.  I will also give you a little insight into how the brain works, and by knowing this it helped me understand that my problem was much bigger than being just forgetful, but it was a real scientific reason behind my behaviors and my inability to manage time.    

As discussed in the episode, I would like to provide you with a free guide filled with useful tips and strategies to help with your ADHD symptoms! Click on this link to get the free guide.
