Stroke It Guide Podcast

Mariela shares her story of strength and determination. This episode is perfect for anyone in a relationship or looking to overcome personal struggles. After Mariela was told at 28 years old that she had the health of a 90-year-old she set to work changing her life. She reminds us to stop making excuses and to get out of our own way. As she says, “You have to be your own cheerleader” You have to believe in yourself and celebrate incremental changes.

‌

Mariela also shares some harsh truths about relationships with friends and family. Reminding us a relationship is a two-way street. We need to have people in our lives who support us, and we also have to return the favor. She shares her parent's advice for overcoming hardship, “you have one time to say your problem, and you better have 50 million solutions following that.” #moveon

‌

Finally, we get some advice on stroking our spouses, while Mariela is currently seeking her life partner, her work as a paralegal has offered her a front-row seat to what makes and breaks a marriage. “Most couples don’t struggle to make money, they fight over spending it”. Do your homework before you commit to marriage and don’t hesitate to ask tough financial questions. Mariela also shared the many advantages for both parties to get a prenup and why it may make sense for you to get a postnup update.

‌

Last but not least, Mariela shares her palpable wanderlust with us. Sharing that her goal is someday when a younger relative asks in awe, “You did that?!?” and be able to answer “Yes, yes I did, and you can too!” What an inspiration to take with us as we move through our life.

‌

Episode Write Up:

Jessica Marie is a life coach, energy healer, and women’s retreat host. In her interview, she shares her story of how corporate life snuck up, and as a result, she gained too much weight.  She started working out and even competed in bodybuilding competitions. But that's not where her story ends. Her health journey continued as she began to listen to her body. Through this journey of self-discovery,  she learned that her purpose is to guide others to create more fulfillment and success in their lives.

Now she works with clients to remove deeply ingrained patterns that keep them stuck so they can get clear and lead life through their heart’s desires. Jessica uses trauma-informed coaching, NLP, Reiki, and Breathwork therapy to get her clients the best results.

In her interview, she drops some great advice, encouraging us to “be more selfish” since you can’t pour from an empty cup.  She reminds us to ask ourselves, “What is important?” so that we can focus our efforts and move “just one inch” closer to our best life. She also challenges us to raise our awareness because if we recognize our patterns, we can see if they’re getting us where we want to go.

Managing a busy family schedule can seem overwhelming, but with the right approach and mindset, it's entirely possible. Here's what you need to know to handle Overscheduled Olivia, Energetic Eric, Stubborn Sammy, and Anxious Ainsley this school year:

1. Overscheduled Olivia: She doesn't need an activity every afternoon. Give her some downtime to relax and recharge.
2. Energetic Eric: This future CEO thrives with freedom. Allow him the space to navigate life's curve balls, chase after squirrels, and adapt to different environments.
3. Stubborn Sammy: Encourage Sammy to pursue their passions. Identify what they love and support them in fueling that fire.
4. Anxious Ainsley: Ainsley is seeking help but feels unheard. She's struggling with the weight of others' expectations and needs the freedom to have fun and simply be a kid. Listen to her concerns and provide a supportive environment.

As we enter the 2023-2024 school year, I hope parents, teachers, and students will consider KINDNESS first, then their personal agenda.

Kelsea and I talk about the importance of your relationship with yourself, spouse and employees. This podcast I geared to women or men that are working their passion that may need a boost in strategy. Kelsea specializes in strategy: auditing your time, creating boundaries, when to say no, reducing clutter, and doing tasks that allow you to thrive.

We sometimes get weighed down by others and tasks that don’t allow us to reach our full potential personally and professionally.

Married? Us too. We get it being a parent and/or spouse can be demanding of your time. How do you maintain Intimacy and connection? Kelsea shares a few tips for you.

Employees are the back bone and the front line of your business. How you treat and engage employees matters to the overall experience for all; customers, team members and leaders.

I challenge you to begin creating the life you want today. Not tomorrow. Define what you want and then a plan. Kelsea and I would love to help you.

When was the last time you Stroked yourself? Have you ever? In other words, How do you celebrate yourself and others?

Ways to celebrate yourself:

• Buy yourself Flowers
• Schedule coffee with someone to share your great news
• Journal
• Buy yourself art or jewelry
• Schedule a treatment (massage, hair, nail, sound bath, acupuncture)

Ways to celebrate others:

Birthdays and Anniversaries

• Look up the year on google. Typically, you will see about colors, gift ideas and themes. For example, My mother in law just turned 75. Did you know it was the year of Diamonds, orchids, and platinum? Yes. My table incorporated all three and we bought her diamond jewelry.

Learning their love language. This will help you select that right way to gift.

Words of Affirmations: Sign with words that connect with their accomplishment or milestone. Send an email or text with kind WORDS.

Acts of Service: Take a task off their plate or provide a promotion

Gifts: See google for ideas or buy a gift cert to their favorite store or restaurant.

Personal touch: Gift certificate for a massage or mani/pedi. Walk holding hands. Or offer a big hug.

Quality time: Schedule time with this person.

Cheers to you! Life is challenging but rewarding. Remember to celebrate your small and big wins. Small wins are just as important as big wins. I have found that if I celebrate the small steps it makes the big leaps much easier.
