Lifter Jeff Brabant has been a guest on the podcast before, and I am thrilled to have him back! This week we are discussing acknowledging others' contributions to your life and your success. He said in a Facebook post, "A clock is worthless without its second hand." Listen in as we dig into this concept as we apply it to our homes, families, work, and communities!

Do you ever feel off-balance? We all seem to strive for balance, but what if we focused more on what centers us and what keeps us grounded.  In this episode, we discuss being centered and how using pronouns like I and me are great indicators! We also analyze the 2 types of self-centeredness, and how to overcome this by being value-centered.  Listen in for more!

In this episode, we talk about giving ourselves something to focus on for 40 days. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. The importance of picking just one, how to handle the resistance, how to stay consistent, and how to accept the minimum as still progress! This is a great way to work on that one thing you've been wanting to do and it will trickle into all areas of our lives!

Sometimes we can have questions that are hard to find the answers to, but questions are good! In this episode, we talk about why questions aren't only good, but there are good questions that will get us going to become the seeker instead of the doubter. What's Next is one of my favorite questions I ask myself and my family on the daily to keep us moving forward. Find out more about this question and how it can help you!

A few years ago I had a friend tell me how her family member, who had encountered so many challenges in her life, continued to move forward. Her response was, "Embrace the Suck." Today's episode is all about that!  What that part is and how to handle all of the many parts of our lives that seem so hard! There is hard in everything, but there is also good in everything. Many of us do not like to experience the discomfort we are feeling with negative emotions so we try to avoid them or try to be happy all of the time and this makes our negative experience even WORSE! Listen in to find out how to embrace the sucky part! 

What we see on the outside of others is a reaction or action to what is really going on inside.  This is the same for us! We have so many thoughts and feelings and emotions that drive our actions.  So when we seem a little off, or when someone we interact with seems a little off, rather than turn into the judge, let's investigate! In this podcast, we will discuss the source of our problems then we will talk about how to become the investigator to help resolve our challenges.

In this episode we talk about how we show up. This is the way we present ourselves to others. It's the way we show up in our actions, speech, body language.  Are we showing up in the way we want to? We will ask ourselves a few questions to help us show up as our best selves and what we can do to help ourselves out!

In this podcast episode we talk about this famous quote by Abraham Lincoln and we break it down.  We discuss the various roles we play and where we are at or how we would rate ourselves. Are we good, gooder, great, or at our best!? The beauty is you get to decide! We discuss why you have to measure your own goods and greats, then how to move up the rungs of the ladder as we navigate the transitions in our lives.

Gooder Speech

In this podcast episode we talk about the term "If you give an inch, they'll take a mile." However, we are going to apply this to ourselves! This is something we may have a pattern of doing. We will explore what happens and how to notice those patterns. They come from one sneaky little thought.  Noticing these sneaky little thoughts and becoming aware of them will help us be one step ahead and change and evolve in the ways we desire. Listen in for ideas on how!

Many times we will see rules or guidelines as restrictions and barriers.  Things that will prevent us from having freedom and fun. But could the actually be what creates freedom and fun? Sometimes we may just need a little shift in our perspective to see they may be there FOR us, instead of against us.  Listen in as we discuss the barriers in our lives.
