Do you have the ability to check yourself, or do you insist that you’re ‘on point’ only to have things go wrong, and then you cast blame for your lack of success or whatever else goes wrong? Whether you’re a parent, a spouse or partner, an employee, a manager, or a business owner, do you have the mindset to step back emotionally from any situation and evaluate yourself FIRST, then the situation and the other people and components or do you find yourself getting defensive or blameful first? Join us for our talk about what we’ve experienced in the area of being honest enough with yourself to get out of your own way.

As seen on FB: Don’t Let Wack Ass People Fuck with Your Dope Ass Energy. Do you take personal accountability for how you feel in any given part of your day or do you allow the moment to determine how you feel? When you’re not ‘feeling’ well emotionally, do you find yourself needing outside validation...thru kudos, food or drink, shopping, etc? Are you able to have a difference of opinion without getting into an argument? Or do you know of someone whose mood is all over the place at any given time? Join us for a chat about this and how to recognize this in yourself sooner than later and how to shift gears as soon as you recognize it. And as always, if you or anyone you know would like to release stuck patterns in life then let’s do this... Darlenealisa.com 💜

Do you wake up and decide it’s going to be a good day only to experience other people seemingly make it impossible not to lose your shit? What if it was possible to be the one who determines your mood and that nobody else has the ability to mess up your ‘good-feeling day’? I promise you, it’s a thing. Also, what level of crazy are you???

Today I woke up feeling super ‘blah’ and wanted to skip the podcast for the week but within a quick text to Nola my blah feeling went away and I found inspiration to do the talk. Who can you rely on when you’re feeling blah and want to crawl back in bed? Who do you rant to when you want to release some steam? Or do you rant to anyone and everyone you come across??

This questions definitely has lots of variables that can accompany which answer you are tempted to blurt out. Join Nola and I for a discussion in the new year of 2021. We’ll give you some things to think about and apply to many areas of your life.

(Recorded Jan 5, 2021) With 2020 and all that came with it, how are you keeping yourself sane in a sea of questionable times? Do you get on social media and go down rabbit holes? Do you check in on yourself and how you’re feeling? Do you check in with your beliefs (aka- what you’re thinking and focusing on daily)?

Nola and I catch up on our Christmas and how gift-giving is easier when you pay attention to these things..., teens and driving. At 30 minutes in we talk about why setting New Year resolutions is not recommended, the 108/36 Challenge, accountability for yourself and owning your shit.

In this episode we answer the vague and unappealing (to me) phrase, “Are you ready for Christmas?”. Amazon vs Facebook when purchasing things. I asked my daughter, “How do you feel about Santa?”. And finally, we talk about the gifts that people buy and give, and how we feel about receiving ‘well-intentioned’ gifts from people. Oh oh and last but not least Nola shares her new champagne concoction that I will be trying this year. Happy Holidays!!! Darlenealisa.com

We start this episode on a few different rants about navigating 2020, limiting beliefs holding us back, and I share my story of the guy I’m currently dating and being willing to have enough respect for myself to ask honest questions about where he’s at regarding dating other people, being intimate, and being exclusive. Did I get rejected in my needing to know where he was at with all these things or did it pan out in my favor?

In this episode I catch Nola up on my Thanksgiving spent with the guy I’m dating for just a week and a half along with his ex-wife, their 3 sons, and his longtime friend who happens to be a female. It was my most interesting Thanksgiving to date. Plus we talk about snooping for Christmas gifts, the joy or pressure to buy gifts for people, smart watches, holiday attire, and my 108/36 Personal Challenge.
