"Love your whole entire life, you created it."

Welcome back to Surviving to Thriving! In this week's episode, we're diving into the concept of embracing our entire lives—not just the highlight reel, but all the nooks, crannies, and under utilized parts as well. I draw on the analogy of a house with unused rooms to illustrate the importance of finding balance and alignment in every aspect of our lives.

Join us in this episode of Surviving to Thriving, as we explore:

• Embracing the diversity of our experiences and letting go of the pursuit of a "picture-perfect" life.
• Recognizing what truly matters and giving each aspect of our lives the attention it deserves.
• Strategies for cultivating balance and harmony amidst life's chaos.

If you're ready to step into a life that's authentically yours, this episode is for you. Because true fulfillment isn't about perfection—it's about embracing the beautiful diversity of life.

You're ready to create a life that reflects your wholeness, aren't you?

"You don't have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going."

Ever find yourself endlessly aiming but never firing? In this episode of Surviving to Thriving, we're flipping the script on the "Ready, Aim, Fire" paradigm. I share my own eye-opening archery mishap to illustrate why it's time to fire before we're perfectly ready.

Tune in to this episode of Surviving to Thriving, as we explore:

• The paralysis of over-analysis and the quest for perfection.
• Why taking imperfect action is crucial for progress.
• Practical strategies to push past hesitation and start moving forward.

If you're stuck in the cycle of indecision and perfectionism, this episode is your game-changer. Join us as we shift from aiming endlessly to firing boldly. Because sometimes, the greatest victories come from embracing the imperfect journey. 

I know you are ready to take aim and fire towards your dreams, aren't you?

"Transferable skills turn your past experience into your future asset." Hana Dhanji

It does not matter if you have been with the same company for 10 years or 25, or have taken a hiatus and are wanting to return to work. Changing direction can be daunting. We become experts at what we've been doing for so long, that we no longer see the value in our experience and our talents. We find it hard to see how we can go and do something else. What could we possibly provide a new employer? 

TONS! That's what. You are teeming with transferable skills that you can throw into your toolbox and take anywhere you go!

In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, we talk about the unsexy topic of transferable skills:

• How to uncover all of your awesomeness that you take for granted.
• How to leverage the skills you have.
• How to articulate the skills you have to move you to your next chapter.

If your resume is in need of an upgrade, then this is definitely the episode for you!

"HOW does not have a place at the table when we are in dream mode." -Jennessa Durrani

Have you ever been walking down the street and all of a sudden you trip…over nothing? You look down sure you will see a hole, rock, or a crack in the sidewalk, and there is nothing. That can be what life feels like at times. We are just walking towards our goal, minding our own business, when we get stuck. When we trip over an invisible block.

It's these seemingly invisible blocks that I dig into in this episode. The three most prevalent blocks that stand in our way that I've renamed HOWard. HOWard be his name, and we have no time for him and his nonsense.  

In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I will review the steps we need to take to get over, under, and through HOWard and his invisible blocks and:

• How we need to take radical responsibility for our lives and path forward.
• How we need to be very clear on what we truly want to assure we can actually move forward.
• How we finally can navigate over, under, through and around these blocks that plague us.

If you are ready to finally see these blocks for what they are and navigate them once and for all, then this is the episode for you!

"Before everything else, getting ready is the secret to success." -Henry Ford

One of the most heard quotes from the women in my world is, "Jennessa, I'm not ready...not yet." I'm sure you can relate. There is likely something that you've been batting around in the back of your mind that you are going to "take on", but right now you just aren't ready. The thing is that we don't have a handle on what ready even looks like. When will the time be right? What needs to be in place? How do we get to ready?

"Not ready" is a default mode that is neutral. That is keeping us stuck. In this week's episode, I help you shift out of default mode, and shift into "getting ready" one incredibly small step at a time!

In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I will give you a 5 step framework to shift into "getting ready" using these tools:

• Visualization to help you picture what ready looks like.
• Commitment to help you to place ready on your timeline in the future.
• Breaking down the big hairy scary into small manageable pieces.

If you are ready to take an active role in your life and start moving towards ready, then this is the episode for you!

“To change our circumstances, we need to change our story: edit it, modify it, or completely rewrite it. ” --Harold R. Johnson

As Harold R. Johnson said, "We are all story. We are the stories we are told and we are the stories we tell ourselves." Now who doesn't love a good story. An origin story. A comeback story. A harrowing tale. But when these stories become so engrained. So much a part of us that we can not see them for what they really are they bind us. They keep us stuck right where we are. Why do some stories hurt? Why do some stories stay with us for years and years? This is where we explore in this week's podcast episode.

In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I will illustrate how our stories are keeping us stuck and 6 steps to release ourselves from their binds, as well as:

• What stories are actually limiting beliefs.
• How to gain awareness around our stories and deconstruct them to take away their power.
• Step by step process for releasing their hold on us so that we can create a new reality.

If you are ready to retire your outdated narrative and begin a new chapter, then this is the episode for you!

Episode 64: LOVE YOURSELF: Stop Punishing Yourself On Your Journey

"It's not the mountain that we conquer, but ourselves." -Edmund Hillary

Our words, thoughts and images do not describe our reality, they are creating it. Read that again. Let it sink in. Our state of mind, our thoughts, our internal dialogue, the stories that we believe to be true about ourselves, is keeping us in our current reality.

The only way we can change our reality, is to change our thoughts, our inner self talk, the images that we have, and our belief system. It's simple, but not easy. But it's absolutely amazing to think that by putting into place simple mindset changes that we can change our world. And I've got the starting point for you!

In today's Surviving to Thriving Podcast, you'll learn:

• 7 of the 14 Presuppositions of NLP that I think will blow your world wide open and help you see yourself and those that you love in a completely new light.
• How to view the world from the perspective of others and how this respect will strengthen your relationships and understanding.
• How you are doing the absolute best that you can with what you have and how you can use that to move forward.
