From the interview:
"Wanting what I have. For me that is that is the key to gratitude and that may not be a very unique way to describe it, I don't know. A lot of people might think of it that way but that for me that's what that's what unlocks the Gratitude in my brain and in my heart. It's not to say that I can't desire to have other things or pursue other goals. But if I want my wife, if I want my kids, not somebody else's kids, if I want my clients, if I want my podcast, then I'm thankful, right? If I wanted your podcast, then I'm not going to be thankful, right? You didn't mean I'm always going to be striving and not feel at Peace."

Over ten thousand hours of meditation and 40 years of studying Buddhist scriptures didn’t stop her from having debilitating fear when she found out she had breast cancer.

Dr. Christiane Michelberger wasn’t able to cope and questioned whether everything she had done up until that point was a complete lie...

She discovered a book that led her to ask one simple question.

That one question led to a true awakening. She realized she was spiritually sleepwalking. She had replaced one illusion for another.

But this was only the first step.

In her book ‘Finding Awakening’ she shares her no-nonsense journey beyond the self, to peace and freedom. Her mission is to put an end to all suffering.

Actress, Writer, Director and Multiple Award-Winning Audiobook Narrator Thérèse Plummer has recorded over 400 titles of all genres for various publishers and she can be seen in an upcoming episode of Virgin River on Netflix soon. Thérèse has narrated all 20 books in the Virgin River (by Robyn Carr) series and voiced every single character in each book (men, women and children)!

Her favorite quote:
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

We talked about the power of book, audiobooks in particular and how they can help us enjoy different kinds of experiences while we're safe at home.

Here's a quote from the interview:
"And I love what you also said about our current situation with the quarantine and with the pandemic, and just all of it is scary and I wanna just use my voice to say that and validate that for people. It's frightening. It's scary and we're relying on news and what I would like to suggest, which I've done for myself, is to really temper that and maybe, you know 5, 10, 15 minutes in the morning, but then turn it off and direct your attention to the sunshine coming in through your window or, you know, an audiobook, listen to a story, go for a walk and stay six feet away from anybody walking on the trail with you, but just... just turn it around and we do have that choice, Georgian, right like we have a choice to switch it to turn it around."

Margie's husband has been tested positive for Coronavirus, but she still found the time to be with us and encourage us in this challenging time. and I'm very grateful for that, it's why I posted the interview immediately after recording it.

Margie Warrell draws on her background in Fortune 500 business, coaching and psychology to embolden people to lead themselves and others to better outcomes.

Living on multiple continents around the world has made Margie a sought after expert by organizations from Salesforce, British Telecom, NASA, Morgan Stanley, UN Foundation, Johnston & Johnston, L’Oreal, Microsoft, SAP, and Deloitte.

A member of the Advisory Board of Forbes School of Business & Technology, her insights also draw on her work and interviews with global leaders such as Richard Branson and Bill Marriott.

An adventurous spirit at heart, Margie has lived around the world - from the wilds of Papua New Guinea to Washington D.C. - and travelled widely. She has crossed the Sahara Desert, stayed in Palestinian refugee camps, hiked the Inca trail and Himalayas, swam with piranhas in the Amazon and, perhaps bravest of all, cycled through Beijing.

Here's the link to her website: https://margiewarrell.com
Her book is called: YOU'VE GOT THIS!
