Meet Janet McKee, the creator of the innovative and acclaimed Accelerated High Performance Program and emPower3 Leadership + Lifestyle Retreat designed to help others fuel their passion, positivity and purpose. Her book, Stressless Success: The Surprising Secrets to a life of Passion, Purpose, and Prosperity, explores how to take back your personal power in these trying times and change your life for the better forever.

Nothing is a coincidence; we create everything that happens around us. You are giving your power away when you say it’s because of outside circumstances that you’re not happy, you’re not healthy, and you’re not successful. Janet wants you to unlock true success; it’s at the palm of your hand.

Janet admits that when someone is under stress, thinking positively is challenging. However, negative thoughts can be a positive thing! Listen as Janet explains how this is possible and the importance of taking care of ourselves.

Meet Camille Martin, a registered dietitian, public health writer, and former chronic dieter. Her book, Love To Lose: Love Your Life and Watch the Weight Lose Itself, explores precisely why you haven't been successful losing weight and how to change all that. Camille, based on her personal and professional experience, explains why diets will never, ever work, and exactly what does. 

When we're going through a hard time, emotional eating and alcohol can be significant issues. Many women use food to fill a void; you can tell you're an emotional eater if you eat when you're not hungry, you devour every single thing on your plate, and the act of eating is what fills you up rather than what you're eating. Until you fix how you're eating, then what you're eating won't matter. First, improve your habits, then you can focus on what's on the plate. 

Camille reveals a concrete plan to change your habits and break free from our downward spiral. Plus, she shows how to be your authentic self and live a fulfilling life that you truly love. 

Meet Kendra Adachi, founder of the Lazy Genius Collective. Kendra passionately shares how to stop doing it all for the sake of doing what matters. Her work includes hosting The Lazy Genius Podcast, blogging, and her just-released book, The Lazy Genius Way: Embrace What Matters, Ditch What Doesn’t, and Get Stuff Done. Kendra tells listeners that the idea of self-care and rest is to do whatever makes you feel like your self, which will be different for everyone. It’s whatever makes you feel like yourself. You’ll know because it makes you come alive!

Meet Eleni Theodorou, a celebrated children's author, bullying prevention educator, and keynote speaker. Eleni teaches students - online and in-person - the Art of Compassion through her multi-sensory, culturally-rich bullying prevention programs called "Noko Busts Bullying!", with lasting results.

The word bully is heavily weighted and comes with severe consequences. Children need to understand the difference between someone who is having a bad day and someone who is a bully. Parents also need to be educated on the difference between those two things – remember, there are always two sides to every story. Eleni makes sure to present this perspective in her bullying program.

Meet Rebekah Bastian, a vice president at Zillow Group, CEO and co-founder of OwnTrail.com, and author of Blaze Your Own Trail: An Interactive Guide to Navigating Life with Confidence, Solidarity, and Compassion. Her book explores the different decisions and pathways women take through their personal and professional lives. It encourages the reader to embrace the idea that there is no one right path through life. In this episode, Rebekah tells us when we're going through a hard time, the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves and others is to share that experience authentically.

Rebekah admits they didn't plan on launching a business in the middle of the pandemic, yet, it feels more important now than ever. It is helping women figure out hard things in life, and they can run everything virtually.

When we're going through a hard time, the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves and others is to share that experience authentically. It means so much to other people because we realize we're not in it alone. With OwnTrail.com, Rebekah and her team hope that people are sharing experiences and even topics that seem taboo. 

Takeaways:

• When we're going through hard things, the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves and others is to share that experience authentically. Sharing helps us realize we're not in it alone.
• We're all going through these various phases of grief and coping and discovery through this pandemic.
• Spend some time paying attention to what you're passionate about, what you're good at and where you're needed. When we triangulate the answer to those three questions, that's generally the right direction to go in.

Have you heard of Enneagrams? Ever been curious about your Enneagram Number? Denee King, Host of the Love Thy Number Podcast tells us how the discovery of her number was a game changer for her personally & professionally. Bonus...She gives me the skinny on my number and how has significantly influenced my life choices!

An Invitation to Listen from my guest Denee...

When I was introduced to the Enneagram almost 10 years ago I began to find answers to some of my own questions and it was absolutely liberating! I learned I wasn’t broken or heartless but that I process thinking from a different perspective than many others. I realized my ability (see how I put a positive spin on that? :-) to move, with lightning speed, from one great idea to the next didn’t mean I had ADHD or was scatterbrained! All those revelations just meant I was hard-wired for excitement and variety and I could now learn how to grow into the healthiest form of myself. Awareness became my greatest gift. I discovered the world of personality types and found a common thread with others who had my same fears and motivations. Learning the way other types process thoughts and emotions has helped me bridge the language barrier. That’s really what our ‘type’ is: it’s our native language. But trying to have relationship with those who speak a different language requires effort and a lot of love. This is the true beauty of the Enneagram. It’s a tool to help us know ourselves and, in doing so, we can know others…to love ourselves so we can share love with others.

I make a fantastic lemon raspberry cake and a banana pudding that is to die for! If you’re visiting our home that might be all you need to know about me. :-)
