Living Lucky® Podcast with Jason and Jana Banana

What happens when a life-altering accident leads to a powerful lesson in positivity? Join me, Jana, on the 33rd anniversary of my own personal D-day, as we discuss the transformative power of focus and its ability to shape our lives. Discover how a simple lesson from my waterskiing teacher - that our eyes determine our direction - can be applied to everyday life, and learn how to train ourselves to see the good even in the face of adversity.

Navigating the journey from a popular student to a wheelchair-bound cheerleader, I share my experience of using reframing to reshape my identity and find the right people in my life. Learn how a cheerleading outfit became a symbol of resilience, proving to myself and others that I was still the same person. Together, let's celebrate the power of focus and embrace living a lucky life.

Keep Living Lucky.

When I invited my husband, Jason, to help coach me through a fear I've been struggling with on air, I never expected the breakthrough moment that unfolded. My fear of wasting time led to creating unnecessary busy work to feel valuable. But as we dug deeper, we discovered that this mindset can lead to burnout and that rest and recovery are essential for our mental and physical well-being.

Join us as we explore the importance of rest and reframing our thoughts around the value we place on our time. Jason compares us to valuable machines that need to recharge and highlights the American tendency to see value in time spent working rather than the quality of the time itself. Find out how we can shift our perspectives and develop a healthier, more productive mindset by listening in on our vulnerable and enlightening conversation.

Keep Living Lucky.

Have you ever wondered how your body communicates with you? Recently, I reintroduced wine into my life only for my body to convulsively reject it, reminding me that moderation is key. Join us in today's episode as we explore the importance of listening to our bodies and how physical symptoms can relate to our mental state, inspired by Louise Hay's book, Healing Your Body. Plus, we share some light-hearted moments about Jana lack of lateral movement and Mindy joining us for a Mindvalley meetup group!

As we dive deeper into the significance of paying attention to our bodies, we discuss how this awareness can help us make better decisions. We also talk about the power of body language and the various ways we communicate with one another. If you're interested in the concept of living lucky, don't forget to check out startlivinglucky.com. Get ready to tune in to your body's signals and unlock the keys to a healthier, happier life!

Keep Living Lucky.

Good morning and welcome to Living Lucky! As your host, Jana, let me share a life-changing experience I had: being nominated for Woman of the Year. The kind words in my nomination letter made me feel incredibly worthy and valuable. Discover how gratitude and appreciation can turn a negative doom loop into an upward success cycle and transform not only my life, but also yours.

Join us as we explore the idea of serving others while trying to figure out what we want in life, and how giving to others leads to personal growth and appreciation. When we give to life, we receive back in return, and that's what living lucky is all about. So listen in and let's learn how to transform our lives through gratitude, appreciation, and service, and start living lucky today!

Keep Living Lucky.

Have you ever wondered how setting intentions the night before can impact your mornings and entire week? This week, we dive headfirst into the world of empowering bedtime routines and questions, discussing how gratitude and accountability can help you show up as your best self. Along the way, we're also inspired by the incredible story of Michael J. Fox, who faced the challenges of Parkinson's Disease head-on and turned it into an opportunity to become a champion for the cause.

Listen in as we explore how leaning into our quirks and embracing our authentic selves can lead to living a life filled with intention, action, and exclamation points! We encourage you to start your day with intention and action, and end it with a bang, just like Michael J. Fox. Be your authentic self, stay positive, and take care of yourself - because living a life full of intention and purpose is truly the key to living lucky!

Keep Living Lucky.

Have you ever felt guilty for wanting to take a day off or for feeling negative emotions? We've been there too, and it's time to give ourselves permission to be human. In this episode, we share our personal experiences with managing negative energy and the importance of allowing ourselves to embrace our feelings. Learn how writing out permission slips grants us the freedom to step back and take time for self-care. 

Feeling emotions like resentment, anger, envy, or anxiety doesn't mean we're failing; rather, these emotions can serve as guides to help us navigate our lives. When we repress our emotions, they will only intensify and eventually cause damage to ourselves and those around us. So, what do you need permission for? Tune in and discover the power of permission and the impact it can have on your mental well-being.

Have you ever faced a setback that felt insurmountable? Imagine being cut from your high school basketball team, only to become one of the greatest athletes of all time! That's exactly what Michael Jordan did, and in this inspiring episode, we share his incredible journey of self-belief and perseverance. We also discuss the crucial role of a supportive network of family and friends, and how harnessing the power of our inner voice can transform negative energy into a driving force for success.

But it's not just about personal achievements - Jordan's unwavering belief in himself had a lasting impact on the entire sports industry. Get the inside scoop on his groundbreaking contract negotiation and how it paved the way for countless others. Plus, we dive deep into the life-changing magic of faith in oneself, coupled with faith in God, and the transformative power of radical gratitude. If you're ready to turn setbacks into successes and live a life filled with luck and positivity, this episode is for you!

Check out the movie AIR on Amazon Prime.   

Jana mentioned her TEDx about Radical Gratitude. It's doing great, but we REALLY want you to leave a comment about it on the YouTube Platform. 

When you get hit with an obstacle, how will you respond?  Do you find a way to get empowered, to build and grow, or do you suffer in defeat. Do you nurse your wounds and wrap yourself in victimhood?

Believe in who you could be and embrace the discipline it takes to become that person.  You have so much potential. You just need the right coach and people in your corner.

Celebrate your wins! Celebrate your successes!  If you are in a community that makes you feel guilty about celebrating achievement and the good you are doing, it's time to rethink your community.  Stop dimming your light and diminishing the value you add to the world.

Jana was selected as one of Orlando Magazine's Women of the Year for 2023. She was humbled and honored, but it came as a shock because she had not discussed many of her successes or made public many of our philanthropic ventures.

When you pray, remember to give praise and thanks for all the blessings in your life.  What you appreciate, appreciates. Think about it.  The more authentically grateful you are for what you are given, the more the Giver enjoys giving to you.

Jana discusses "Kindness" and the word "Nice". 
Dr. Wayne Dyer once said, "If you have the choice between being right and being kind, always choose kindness."

Jeff Bezos gives us, "Being Clever is a gift. Being nice is choice."

Nice is just a little bland. Its like "good".

The are givers, takers, and score keepers (those who give as long as they feel they are getting the equal share). 
Natan, the Hebrew word for giving (also a palindrome) symbolizes give and take in the sense that when you give the Universe will give back to you.

If you are a "Giver", give to yourself often and first. This small distinction will make sure that you are always giving from a full cup, full spirit, full energy level.  Kindness is not only an outward expression. It is a gift we show to ourselves and then share with the word.

Anne Frank said, "And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!”

A few years ago Jana and I created 5'x4' Vision Boards with some pretty wild things on them for each of us.  Most people would be shocked at how many of those things have come to fruition. 
There is power in intention and consistent awareness.

We talk about Ellen DeGeneres owing me a sandwich haha. My pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago and several other significant events.

Journaling and gratitude play a huge part in our manifestation of the many blessings we receive and are then able to push forward to share with others.   Journaling and gratitude focus appreciation. What you appreciate appreciates.  When you are grateful for the blessings you have already received and are currently receiving, you become more aware of and available for more. 
Also, once you have the proof (the gratitude journal) you have the confidence and faith that more blessings are on the way.

Jana accuses me of knowledge vomiting.

Jana's hack - When you are searching for things aligned with your Devine purpose and what God wants for you, you will see the blessings when they are presented.  Often, we aren't seeing what is in front of us.

BLessons - Blessings hidden in lessons learned
