12 min - Step Into Your Challenges
I know it is a simple analogy, but in baseball to be successful as a hitter you must towards your challenge. You must step into the pitch to be a good hitter. It took me a long time as a kid to get the confidence to step into the pitch and hit the ball consistently.
That same analogy exists for us each day in life. Don't side step you challenges, step into them. The more you step into your challenges the more successful you will be in overcoming them.

16 min - Live Your Life with No REGRETS!I was watching a YouTube video the other day and they talked about what a person's biggest regrets were. They had posted a chalkboard in a park in New York City and let random people write down their regrets. The biggest thing everyone mentioned was all the things that they had "NOT" done. Here are my thoughts on regrets.

16 min - Listen to the messages in your lifeWhen we listen to the messages being sent to us we can find our purpose in life. Some people call that coincidence, others view it as faith and others view it as a message from God. However you look at it, we have messages being given to us everyday. I am learning to believe that those messages do come from God. God is putting people, events and circumstances in my life to help me understand what my purpose is. Are you listening?

14 min - Get Control of Your Life
My experience of abuse has created a sense that sometimes I do not have control of my circumstances or situations. I feel that I can be manipulated if the right buttons are pushed.
This week I share a simple story about manipulation that resulting in me buying a shirt that I didn't want. What the event did teach me was I can recognize when I am triggered and being manipulated.
The awareness of the loss of control through manipulation is important to me because it helps me recognize when it is happening. Then I can adjust my approach to the manipulation so I gain control again.
What triggers you and allows you to be manipulated? What do you do about it when it happens? Do you even recognize when it happens? How can you find ways to gain control again?
Maintaining a certain level of control in your life will allow you to feel balanced and positive about what is happening in your life. Losing control makes us feel less worthy or even like a failure. Recognize when control is slipping through your fingers and make a mental shift to regain that control and create great feelings of accomplishment and self worth in your life.

13 min - I was abused
Sometimes we have events in our life that are so dramatic and challenging that we just want them to go away and never return. Those events, whether we like it or not, impact us everyday. We just might not understand how and why.
It was the courage of teenager that gave me the strength to share my story this week. I love going to schools and speaking to students about life, the journey, the challenges and the lessons that will be learned. I inspire them to find the positive message in those lessons. No matter how challenging those lessons are.
The impact that this teen had on me with resonate for decades. Her story was tough to hear. It reminded me why I am committed to be a professional speaker. My message, my story and my lessons have a positive impact on those that hear them. You will hear how her story gave me the strength to share mine. If you know someone that has been abused share this podcast with them. Let's end the silence around abuse.
