How strong is your internal fortitude?

Fortitude is having a strong will in the face of danger or pain, and this episode is all about finding and growing that courage of self.

Tina Turner's documentary was released the other day entitled, "Tina" and I was blow away by her tenacity but more so her level of self acceptance, growth, and willingness to not live in her past.

This episode is all about looking at how a piece Tina Turner's story, the idea that changing the direction of your thoughts changes the direction of your life and that living, mentally in the past, in the failures, in the sorrow only handcuffs you to it and keeps you from thriving.

I'm looking forward to your feedback on this one, because I'm sure the few concepts and the few ideas of ways to change the path of your thinking will resonate.

You'll be smarter by the end of this episode, swear!

Sitting down at the Life Over Brunch table today, from her home in Oregon, is Life Coach and Motivational Speaker, Rachelle Indra.

Rachelle brings to you the no nonsense "how it is" of it all with her motto, "Teaching you the shit they didn't teach in school". With her background in NLP, neuron lingustic programming and her hilarious sense of humor, she and I dove into the deep waters of the old phrase, "what you think you become".

She teaches us that, that phrase is true and on a deeply scientific level, as she discusses the physical change in our neuro pathways when we consistently think a thought dove and over, it grows, and thoughts we fail to connect with, well our brains weed out.

We also discuss the benefits of seeing help outside of our close circle and why finding a different path to get to the same goal, in time, gets you to a far better and more well fitting place.

Rachelle will amaze you and likely have you thinking about thinking!

Sarah Marshall brings fire in this episode!

Sarah is the creator of Fifth Element Hair Studio in Bend, Oregon. She created the nontoxic, sustainable salon experience after finding a disconnect between how she was living and what products she was working with.

Her journey has opened the doors to provider a container to hold others journey and what is more telling about our personalities then our hair?!

Not only did we talk about women embracing their grey, rainbow colored hair and the creation of dreadlocks, but we dove deeper into the truth of those who judge people for their hair, how letting go of generational fears allows for unrestrained self expression, and how the best practice in business is to find the niche that speaks to your skill sets.

I couldn't think of a better way to celebration International Women's Day then releasing an episode with Sarah, that speaks straight to the hearts of women allowing them to show up just as they choose to be!

Yes. Just.

That's about it folks...I kid!

This episode is meant for an easy listen with a powerful homework assignment for you to complete...say yes.

I talk about the places and the reason why we say a half yes, and the places we allow fear to force us from saying a yes, and how when we finally get the courage to say yes to what feels in alignment for ourselves, that every fiber of our being changes...for the better!

Dropping and exclusive on 2 upcoming things and hoping to hear back from you about your own yes, this episode feels like a Snuggie for your soul!

Solo Episode Alert!

After watching the documentary, "Framing Britney" I was moved to talk with you about the seemingly sticky spot Britney Spears is in, how unfortunate the past 13 years have been in that regard, and how you have to stop feeding your own fears because they will become the self imposed restrictions of your life.

Looking at the legal aspect of conservatorship in general, and my own assumptions as to why it was utilized initially is some of what I dive into, but also I encourage you to release the handcuffs you allow your daily fears to put on you because it is only then where you will find that you can finally thrive.

Hope this episode brings you some freedom of thought!

"One persons superfood is another persons kryptonite"

That quote from this weeks guest, Functional Diagnostic Nutritional Practitioner and Board Certified Holistic Health Coach, Courtney Bursich, truly sets the tone for our incredible conversation.

Courtney says that when most people get to her she is their last stop after having exhausted all medical avenues and health and fitness routines. No matter what they have done, how they have eaten, and as healthy as they try to be, something remains "off". With Courtney's help and her deep intake, looking at each client as a whole person, she helps to, through functional testing and protocols, put the missing pieces to their health puzzle together.

When you are only looking at food and fitness and not looking deeper at what is going on at a cellular level, at how heavy metals and gut health being askew can have an effect on the body's systems as a whole, well you miss the mark.

This is one episode that is going to change your mind from feeling like you want to give up, feeling like your body has let you down, to seeing there is light a the end of the tunnel as long as you keep advocating for yourself and seek some guidance.

Crack open your craft brews, grab a sipper and get comfy for this impressive conversation.

I had the true pleasure of sharing time with Tom Kolicko, film maker and founder of Traverse Image Film Company. Tom showed up with a hefty slice of authenticity and the behind the scenes, behind the scenes of what it is like to be a creative, how he had to navigate pitfalls and even postpartum post film releases.

We discussed his films, "100 Year Lease", "ShitBag", "Crafting A Nation", and a few more, and he gave insight into how they came about, how some roads albeit small roads, lead to bigger things and what he teaches his students at University of Colorado Denver to keep them focused not on failure, but on lessons that comes from missing the mark.

If you are a creative, know a creative, love documentaries and stories, this episode is going to leave you with a fresh perspective and a "reel" behind the scenes look at what it is like for those who use the camera to share the world with us.

Welcome to a new season of Life Over Brunch!

This first episode of the new year brings a quickie to your earbuds and talks all about how if Aaron Burr can overcome what life handed to him (by his own hand) then you can too.

When we are able to finally throw away yesterdays trash, let go of the past and stop wondering "what if it went this way", then we can more clearly and efficiently see the present.

All that and more in this delicious first episode back.

Can't wait to hear what you think!
