Steve Harvey has said, "in all of life's adversity, you will find a lesson and a blessing.  Pain will always leave you a gift."  I heard his words after this episode was recorded, but it is so true and that is what we explore in this episode.  How does life teach us?  How can we pay attention?  How do we share wisdom when our instinct as parents is to protect our kids from pain?  Listen wherever you get your podcasts and remember to share with a friend who you think might get something out of this message as well.  Thank you for listening and sharing with others.  It really helps small podcasts like mine grow. 

At the start of a New Year, take a moment to cull your social media presence as well as your social interactions in person.  Embracing the power and control we have over our environments is essential to leading the kind of lives we desire and deserve.  Share Integrity Nachos with a friend who needs to hear this message and please subscribe, rate and review wherever you get your podcasts.  

Your gut, your inner knowing, your light team?  Whatever you call it, take some time to reflect with me on the voice inside that sometimes is drowned out by the loud world we live in today.  Listen and trust that all you know how to choose for you.  Share this episode with someone who may need to be reminded to trust their gut. 

A reflection on 2020 and perhaps some hope and perspective shift to kick 2021 off right.  

I mentioned not knowing the history of Chutes and Ladders, the game, so here's that LINK.

Remember, we can do hard things.  

This episode is dedicated to all of those who didn't make it out of 2020.  We love you, we miss you. We will never forget and we will forge ahead in your honor.  

In this episode I talk to a friend who is both an essential worker and an expert on essential oils and how to create a healthier, safer, more chemical free home for you and those you love. 

Don't miss this episode!
