the Beyond podcast

I am so excited to share this 5MWF Episode with you all. As The 2024 Olympics have come to a close, I was left with some thoughts that I felt we could all use, and I learned some really interesting things about these amazing athletes and the mindset tools they use to achieve their goals. In this quick 5MWF I am going to talk about the value of embracing failure as a part of your growth, I am going to touch on the impact of music on performance and mood, and I am going to leave you with three lessons I learned from these Olympic athletes, that can be applied to everyday life obstacles and help you see that amongst any failure you actually ARE succeeding.

Vaishali Patel, founder of Sanskar Teaching, and one of my most kind and dear friends, shares her journey of growing up in India and immigrating to the United States at the age of 16.

She talks about the challenges of assimilating into a new culture, recognizing the importance of preserving Indian culture and connecting generations, and the beauty of her journey of embracing her heritage through the power of tradition and language. 

Without intentionally setting out to do so, Vaishali and I end up connecting so deeply on the topic of... you guessed it... BOUNDARIES!

As you are all aware, it is a topic near and dear to my heart and one that I will never stop preaching about. Vaishali has a refreshing and unique take on how language can either help or hinder the way our intended message is received, ultimately impacting the strength of our relationships and communication.

This conversation spoke to my heart, and I know it will resonate with so many of you as well!
