Summer can be a taxing season! Here is a short meditation and hack to keep you centered in self-empathy, and cognizant of all that your heart can and cannot hold. If you are feeling a little run down or over run, this one is for you!

Sometimes we don't know where we are at until we sit down and become still. Only then can we speak about it, from that deep stillness. Imagine if you spoke in to a microphone and shared this wisdom with others? Who might you help? Or are you in a season where it is more important to be in the stream of life, and away from the stage?

We grow in both states and knowing which one you are in is the key! If you are ready to try out podcasting or want to talk to someone about it, please reach out. Podcasting has changed my life, deepened my connection with the divine, and taught me how to lead an audience - now I teach others what I do, and I would love to teach you if you are ready to learn about podcasting made easy.

Where is your edge when it comes to a challenge?  Do you give up sooner than you used to?  What adventures are you not taking because you are worried about getting hurt, or not getting a return, or "fill in the blank?"

In this minisode I invite you to reflect upon why you are holding back and how your attitude may be reflected in your children when it comes to an adventure or challenge. Of course, there is this thing called real life where we get tired or discouraged or "burned" - the question there is how do we recover? How do we face and overcome the paradoxes of reality to reach the mountain top?

I am still taking on private clients to launch podcasts this summer - please reach out if you have a podcast you would like me to review and make a recommendation about or if you are ready to get one started!! Let's DO THIS.

Remember, Kids LOVE a Challenge - and YOU DO TOO!!
