Show Title: Presence and Passion for Living with Lindsay Titus

Power Quote: “Emotions are energy in motion”

Description:

How do you take care of yourself when you are so busy taking care of others? How can you be present when there is so much to do? What’s the meaning of life? Okay, we won’t go quite that deep in today’s show, but we will explore ideas around being authentic and loving your life, and we will give you six techniques for practicing being present.

Warmup questions:

·      We always like to start with a celebration. What are you celebrating today?

·      Is there a story that will help listeners understand why you are doing what you do?

Questions/Topics/Prompts

·      I invited you on because I enjoy your weekly email, especially its emphasis on presence, reflection, and self-care. We will dive into these, but first I want to ask about something I read on your website. When you say “fall back in love with your life”, what do you mean?

·      What are the major factors in falling “out” of love with ourselves?

·      Let’s talk about presence, what is it, what forms does it take, why is it so essential?

·      What is the role of reflection in loving your life?

·      It’s easy to say “take care of yourself” but how do people make the mindset shift to actually prioritizing it?

·       

Closing questions:

·      What part of your own leadership are you still trying to get better at?

·      If listeners could take just one thing away from today’s podcast, what would it be?

·      Before we go, is there anything else that you’d like to share with our listeners?

·      Where can people learn more about you and your work…
