Marnie Nir is an Executive Life Coach and the Chief Creative Officer at Handel Group. Marnie graduated from UCLA with a degree in Russian Literature and spent several years travelling, working in music and, most notably, working for the Moscow circus.

After settling down in Connecticut with her husband, Marnie found herself in need of purpose and direction. Her sister, Lauren Handel Zander, introduced her to the Handel Method and, from there, the two embarked on a partnership as coaches and leaders.

Marnie also continues to explore her creative work as a blogger, columnist and co-created the animated show MotherUp!, which ran on Hulu in 2013.

Today Marnie and I discuss how she got involved in her sister’s company, the Handel Group, and how it has transformed her life.

She outlines the modules for the Handel Method and offers her insights into why the steps are effective and how to incorporate them into your life.

Marnie touches on how previous traumas or failures can keep us from achieving our dreams and how you can move past them for a more successful future.

She also discusses how letting go of negative self-talk can be the key to understanding our true nature and to finding happiness and inspiration in our lives.

“You don’t have to lead a perfect life. You just have to walk the talk and be able to talk about it when you trip and fall.”

• What the Handel Method is and why it’s effective
• How to create lasting change
• Why the Handel Method takes a holistic approach to help you find and follow your dreams
• An outline of the Handel process of self-exploration to achieve happiness
• Why it’s so hard to keep promises to ourselves
• Why you should keep a thought log every day 
• The power in moving past our cerebral minds and discovering who we really are
• How to get rid of your negative inner dialogue and be a better friend to yourself
• Why letting go of your past is vital to achieving your dreams

Loretta Breuning founded the Inner Mammal Institute with the aim of guiding people in naturally rewiring their brain chemistry.

She has also penned a number of books that have brought her knowledge and expertise of the subject to the public consciousness, including the best-selling Habits of a Happy Brain. 

She has been featured in numerous media outlets and online publications, such as Forbes, NPR, Fox, The Wall Street Journal, NBC, Psychology Today, Cosmopolitan, Inc, Men’s Health, Fast Company, and Dr. Oz. 

Loretta joins me today to discuss her research and published work with regard to how brains work in animals and in human beings.

She shares her insights on how society has shaped our idea of happiness, how animal behavior is reflected in human behaviour, and why it’s important to set short-term, middle-term, and long-term goals.

She explains the functions and effects of neurotransmitters (dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin) on the human body, and how and why they affect our behaviour. She also shares some tips on how to control our impulses and achieve a state of happiness in our day-to-day activities. 

“Many people are effectively motivated by big dreams, but the problem is often that the dream is too big, and then the person doesn’t see progress.”

After graduating from university with a degree in business management, Linda Harris knew that she wanted to do work she felt passionate about. She had done a fair bit of travelling during her university years and ended up taking a job in travel.

When COVID started, Linda found herself furloughed and eventually made redundant. Instead of seeing her unemployment as a setback, Linda took the opportunity to reevaluate her priorities, discover her strengths, and look to move into an industry that would challenge her and allow her to give back.

After months of reading, reflection and fine-tuning her CV, Linda landed a job as the Head of Marketing and Communications for a children’s charity. This new opportunity has also granted her the ability to return to her home in Wales.

Today Linda and I discuss her journey from travel expert to charity worker and YouTuber. She shares how the challenges of the pandemic helped guide her into a more balanced life.

Linda offers some tips on creating room for the things that bring you joy while still being a productive employee or business owner. She also discusses her tendency to be an “achiever” and why being passionate about her work has helped to vitalise her personal interests.

“It feels quite nice to have ticked off something that is just for me, that was not something that I had to do but something that I wanted to do.”

• How Linda prioritises tasks and stays organised
• Why losing her job gave her a chance to discover her super-strengths and align them with her values
• The importance of making space for the things that fulfill you and respecting your limits
• The joy Linda’s received from creating her YouTube channel, “Better you Books”
• How taking time to prepare and prioritise what she wanted led her to the right job
• Why Linda prioritised quality over quantity when it came to job hunting
• Why you should pay attention to your energy and what you can actually achieve each day
• Linda’s daily gratitude practice and how it has affected her perspective over the past year
• Her approach to life as an “achiever” and someone always wanting to be challenged

Grace joins me today to share how the loss of her mother impacted her early life and how her change of circumstance was ultimately why she chose to pursue formal education.

She discusses how her interest in converting traditional knowledge into a way to make a living and earn money evolved while she was studying for her Ph.D., and why she began to offer workshops and seminars on determining what you’re looking for from your career and life.

She also discusses why she prefers not to talk about ‘days that go wrong’ but instead to see them as opportunities to learn as well as simply part of her journey. 

“Have clarity. What are your career goals? Where do you want to be?”
