The 8 Cow Life

Today is a continuations on episode #17 where I talked about making sure you are in charge of your emotions. I follow up on why this is so important and introduce the concept of emotional childhood and emotional adulthood. Being able to be in control of our emotions is the best thing we can do for our emotional wellbeing. It will empower us in ways we never knew were possible and move us in the direction of fulfilling our dreams more than anything else. Enjoy!

Bonus material: I share my all time favorite roll recipe just in time for Thanksgiving!

Far too often in life we give our emotions over to others and collect others emotions to control. This is exhausting and unproductive. On todays podcast I explore how we do this and why it's so important to take back control of our emotions because it will give us so much more freedom and happiness in our lives. Enjoy!

If you were asked to write 25 things you love about yourself right now, could you do it? I bet if you are like most of us, you would find this hard to do. The truth is, you should have thousands of things you love about yourself and not be shy about them. God certainly wants us to love our neighbors, but he also wants us to love ourselves. Why and how to do this is all on the podcast today. Enjoy!

My friend Joel Harper is back to impart more of his wisdom. Today we talk about The United Order or the law of consecration. While we are not living this order at this time, Joel states how he thinks we actually are. His light humor will hopefully keep you laughing and he always delivers more than he promises, so you don't want to miss this episode full of gems you can apply in your life right now. Enjoy!

On todays podcast I interview Monica Packer who hosts the podcast "About Progress". She was gracious enough to come on and talk about her struggles with perfectionism, her faith, and motherhood. She was open and real and I am so appreciative of her willingness to share this part of her with each of you. Enjoy!

We find ourselves in many types of situations throughout our lives. We make decisions and have to suffer the consequences of those decisions. We are also subject to the decisions of others. Sometimes we feel like others take the power to live the way we want away from us. On the podcast today I talk about how you can always be in control of your circumstances all by how you choose to think about them. Once you realize that any circumstance you find yourself in is neutral until you have a thought about it, you start taking back control of your life and truly becoming empowered.

We all want to have control of our lives and feel like we are the ones who make the decisions about where we are headed. That is what coaching can do for you. I often get blank stares from people when I tell them I'm a life coach. Today I decided to answer what life coaching is, why I decided to become a coach, and what coaching is for me. I hope you enjoy.

Believe it or not, you are a great story teller. How do I know? Because you tell it every time I see you. Do you like the story you've written? If not, I'm here to tell you that you have the power to rewrite it. Don't let your past write the story for your future. Take control and edit your story until it's what you want it to be. It will change your life! I promise!

This is a new segment of the podcast that will be happening once of month. My good friend Joel Harper will be joining me on the first Sunday of each month to talk about various aspects of the LDS faith. He is someone I hope you all will enjoy. This month we talk about the relationship between the First Vision and the Word of Wisdom. I was a bit confused when he first proposed this subject, but after listening to him explain it, I think it is a much needed insight for all of us. Enjoy!
