How many times a day to you look at yourself in a mirror? Do you love what you see? Even if you don't love all of what you see, do you love WHO you see? If you don't, do you know how to start loving yourself? Or do you even care if you love yourself at all?

Today I'm going to share with you the importance of loving yourself and how to start doing it or get even better at it. Because, if you don't, you will never be able to live the life that you so deeply desire.

This episode is a spontaneous creation, inspired by a moment of realization that I experienced just a little while ago. The expanded perspective that it provided me, I felt, was important enough that others may benefit from it as well. I hope you enjoy it.

Life is limitless. What you are capable of accomplishing is limited only by the limits you create for yourself or that you allow others to create for you. Now, this doesn’t mean we don’t experience some ups and downs as we go through life. And for some of us, those ups and downs can seem a bit on the extreme end of things.

The story you are going to hear today is from a man who has experienced some rather significant ups and downs - to the likes of which many of us may have simply given up on life altogether. But instead of succumbing to depression, or discouragement, or having a bitter attitude toward the world, he overcame his obstacles with purpose and strength like never before.

His name is Legacy Patino and he’s with me today to share his story. At the end of the podcast, he also shares a very unique perspective that will give you something extra to ponder today. I’m excited to share his story with you and I hope you enjoy it.

This episode is a continuation of an interview I had recorded with a woman named Kristy Walsh (now Kristy Walsh Santos) where she shared her inspiring story of transformation and an amazing shift in perspective that has forever changed her life. However, there was more to the story that I didn’t have time to share in a single episode.

So In this episode Kristy and I talk about our power to create and manifest the life we want. We also discuss our views for where we think things are headed and how we can help future generations retain the information and the gifts that we were all born with. Portions of this interview left me speechless. I left the pauses in the interview, so you might be able to pick up on the times when I didn't even know what to say. Enjoy!

Back in April I had the pleasure of interviewing a woman named Kristy Walsh (now Kristy Walsh Santos). Kristy was raised in Eastern Europe in a strict Catholic family. She has lived in the US for a number of years and like many of us, conformed to what society deems as the "normal" or the "expected" course for life. She experienced ups and downs in her life, but then, in August something happened that changed her life forever. 

This is a story of a woman and her transformational shift in perspective that has changed her life for ever. She has broken free, and isn't looking back.

This was an impromptu podcast that I recorded on my phone while sitting in my car at the school bus stop, waiting for my kids to arrive home. I had just finished with an amazing interview with someone for the Simply Authentic podcast. Her story was amazing to hear and there were parts of it that simply left me speechless. Today's podcast highlights some of my own moments of enlightenment through this incredible interview. I still get chills listening to this recording and I hope you find it just as inspiring as I did.

It's been a little while since you've heard me talk on the Simply Authentic podcast. I have been incredibly busy and I can't wait to tell you what I've been doing!

We all have been given the gift of intuition, but following that intuition or trusting it to lead you in the right direction isn’t always easy to do. For many of us it takes practice and it’s more of a learned skill. As children we do it without thinking. But somewhere in the process of growing up, we begin to doubt ourselves and forget how to listen for and follow our intuition.

Today I have a special guest with me, Scott Wanless, who has mastered the skill of listening to his intuition without questioning the information he receives. Because of this, he has had some rather profound experiences in his life. 

I am excited to have Scott on the podcast today to share his story about how listening to intuition has changed his life for the better.

There is a direct correlation between the energy you emit and everything else that you experience in your life.  On good days you feel good. On not so great days, you don't feel like yourself. Your mood isn't the same. Your energy feels lower and your productivity level is also low, if not non-existent altogether.

In this episode, I share with you how I learned to harness my energy from within and how you can do it too to get more of what you want out of life.
