I am so grateful for my guest in this episode! I had the opportunity to chat with Steve Foran, Founder of Gratitude at Work, Author, Professional Speaker, and Gratitude Guru!

Not commonly the path of an Electrical Engineer, Steve has spent many years writing and conducting practice-based gratitude research, including his book, Surviving to Thriving. From his studies and work, Steve has also developed a science-based program, Gratitude At Work — which is a simple and innovative approach to thriving leadership and business growth.

Stay tuned until the end of the episode, as Steve has offered a gratitude challenge for us all.

I am taking a break from the news (for the time being) to protect my mental health. We get to decide how to be informed by what's happening in our world and communities. We get to choose what we have the capacity for and how much exposure to the daily news we can manage. What is your relationship with the news? And is it having an impact on your mental health?

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by overwhelm? Worried about your worry? Or maybe you're tired of feeling tired. Our emotions matter and can have a significant impact on our mental health. In this episode, I share an evidence-based approach, developed by Dr. Marc Brackett - providing a guide in creating an emotion regulation strategy.

Coaching Casts are special episodes on the Life Out Loud Podcast — that brings you into some of the real and raw conversations in my coaching sessions with my Life Coach, Mischaela Richter. In this episode, we discuss energy and the value of observing our energy and preserving our energy reserves to support our mental health and wellness.

Adventure takes risks; risks encourage us to be daring, and being daring takes courage.

Tune into episode 12 to hear all about this courageous camping trip I recently took with my husband, and how working through fear manifested an opportunity to soar above worry.

But what if we shift our mindset to understanding pressure as positive energy — and an opportunity to overcome our obstacles, and gain personal strength — an opportunity to get clear on our priorities — an opportunity to feel alive? Episode 11 on the Life Out Loud Podcast explores using pressure to create our power. How will you turn your pressure into your power?
