MindFULL conversations

Today’s MindFULL Musing started out as a full length episode, but once I gave a listen and spent all day trying to fix the audio, I decided to “take the best and leave the rest”. THE BEST is my guest, the ever mindful Rimi Chakraborty.  Listen in as she tells us about about a new kind of leadership for women that keeps us connected to our roots. It’s called ROOTsilience and it values the WHOLE being. What a concept! 

ROOTsilience  incorporates authentic leadership exercises that are practical ways we can embody principles of the Chakra system, with tools and foods that root us. Check out the ROOTsilience website for information on programs coming up with ROOTSilence: https://www.rootsilience.com/

And while you are there, get your personalized ROOTSilence Leadership map and see where to focus so your path to well being isn't so overwhelming. Set aside about 20 minutes to go through the questions and get the feedback, FREE. https://www.rootsilience.com/f/the-rootsilient-leadership-map

And wait, there's more! You can join  Rimi on a retreat in the Azores at her luscious  lodge and retreat center, Feb 17-20, 2023. Here’s the link to learn more about it:  https://www.rimichakra.com/retreats.html

Today's guest brings a mindful approach to coaching adult children of aging parents. For years, Maggie Miller was an Executive Coach and has seen the kinds of things that you might be dealing with. She can help you take your jumbled ideas and make them actionable, stand beside you and support you and share resources and ideas - and how you can put them to work to help you help those you love.

When you begin caring ABOUT an aging parent, and not necessarily FOR them (listen to Maggie describe the difference) you step into a job you didn't apply for! That's where having a Coach can be a life saver, for all involved. I called Maggie when I needed help. She shared resources and support that enabled me to step out of fear and into understanding.

3 Takeaways from our conversation:

1. Fear of the unknown can be alleviated by knowing what resources are available.
2. Always a have a few Starbucks gift cards on hand to give to folks you meet along the way who are helpful - a small thank you! (I keep a few in my wallet)
3. A list of questions you brainstorm ahead of time to ask helpers or navigate with parents, can smooth out a challenging conversation.

Books Maggie recommends (please copy and paste book titles in and use my new support small book sellers link to buy and let me know if it works! I'll try and make it easier as I figure it out, too)  https://bookshop.org/shop/mindfullconversations
1. The Mature Mind and The Power of the Aging Brain by Dr. Gene Cohen
2. The Song of Our Scars by Haider Warraich

In this MindFULL Musing, I ponder how hard it can be to have , what I like to call, a Courageous Conversation. Those are the conversations that weigh on your  mind and heart. I mention Harriet Lerner and her helpful new book, Why Won't You Apologize? I also posted the link below to Brene Nrown and Harret LErner's conversation on the very topic. Give a listen. And then go forth and have that conversation. Let us know how it goes!

Happy Thanksgiving! This MindFULL Musing is about 3 little letters...i...s...h...It's a mindful essay I received from a friend on Tuesday and I wanted to share it, hoping that it fills your mind and heart on this Thanksgiving with something unexpected.

The essay is written by Lisa Culhane, Coach and Guided Autobiography teacher (yes, I believe in GA). I did some coaching with Lisa years ago, and what I learned from her still fills my mind. She sends a newsletter every so often, and I usually find something in it that fills my heart.

You can find out more about Lisa, and her work, here: https://lisaculhane.com

This MindFULL Musing is about the movie JOY - the woman who created an empire on a twisty mop. It's also about getting what we want...just not always in the package we think it's going to come in. En-Joy!

This MindFULL Musing asks, "Where do you find the soundtrack of your days?" I share my music playlists from TV Shows, Movies and a Thanksgiving Playlist I've listened to for years. Grab a pen, go forth and find the songs, and then crank up the volume!

Today's NaPodPoMo's MindFULL Musing is on the Imposter Syndrome. It's something many folks have and yet, few talk about. Well, I talked about it with my Cousin Alyssa, who is a Coach to CEOs and she reassured me that many of us feel this way at different times in our lives. In this episode, I read an excerpt from a paper students at Stanford Business School receive - Therapists Find Many Achievers Feel They're Fakes by Daniel Goleman. Goleman is the Father of Emotional Intelligence. He oughtta know!

You can read the whole paper here:

Today's NaPodPoMo's MindFULL Musing is a conversation with my friend, Ricki, who just returned from a 4 week trip. How in the world do you pack for 4 weeks in a small duffle? Her tips will help you pack your bag, no matter how long you roam.

Our conversation was inspired by my conversation with John Yackus, when he literally phoned it from The World Kitchen tent on the boarder of Ukraine and Poland. Listen here:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mindfull-conversations/id1631695053?i=1000571087964
