In Episode 11 of The Infinite Capacity Podcast, Andrea Morton recounts a surprising incident that she witnessed and digs into the importance of having self-awareness in challenging moments. 

Sometimes we are not aware of how we appear to the world around us. Most of us perceive ourselves as the hero or the victim in our own story. We may justify our actions or words, even cruel ones, as being merited.  When we don't dig deep and analyze how we are showing up in the world, we may not be aware of the effect we are having on others.

In this episode we'll dig deep into what self-awareness is, how people can monitor, assess and analyze their own tone and body language and what the research says about how people can best align their behavior with their own values and standards.  You'll get some great takeaways and questions to consider the next time you find yourself in a difficult conversation!

It takes a special kind of human being to want to physically care for others when they are feeling at their absolute worst… an infinite capacity, perhaps, for compassion and caring.  Running toward emergencies as a helper, rather than away from them, is a quality that definitely stands out.

Throughout her life of service Michelle has seen just about everything... from allergic attacks to tragedies in the maternity ward... to special moments shared with Mother Teresa!  

In this wide-ranging conversation, Andrea and Michelle touch on everything from the current COVID-19 crisis to what it takes to become a nurse practitioner.  Michelle, a working mother of three children, will also explain how she maintains real balance between her work and personal life!

By the end of this inspiring episode, you will surely feel that you've made an amazing new friend... and undoubtedly also gain even more appreciation for the hardworking nurses that tend to you and your family when you seek medical care!

In Episode 9 of The Infinite Capacity Podcast, Andrea Morton of Think To Thrive Coaching explores reasons why mothers in their 40s and 50s often wonder if life has "passed them by" and doubt their own capacity to reinvent themselves or create something new.

As a 45 year old self-confidence and wellness coach working with women all across the globe, Morton found herself fascinated by the way in which her female clients in their 40s and 50s so consistently mention the tension and fear they experienced around this topic. 

Drawing on lessons from history and science, Morton now explores the context in which today's mothers in midlife - the ladies of 2021 - are approaching their "second act."  

She examines the messages that women in midlife today hear from their family, friends & colleagues (and the media at large) about their own potential to reinvent themselves after a certain age; what they are teaching their own daughters... and how those messages differ from those that were shared with generations of women that came before them.

Crucially, Morton will explore the importance of having strong role models during a time of self-renewal, and what to do if you are a woman who doesn't personally have any female role models to look up to as you work to reinvent yourself in midlife!

An empowering episode to kick off your new year!

Do you ever look around a room of intelligent, charismatic and interesting people and feel that you don't belong?  Do you sometimes find yourself focusing on everything you've failed to accomplish in your life or career, rather than what you've done well?  Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Pretty soon, everyone is going to figure out that I don't deserve to be here!"

In Episode 7 of The Infinite Capacity Podcast, Andrea Morton of Think To Thrive Coaching explains the sense often experienced (but rarely discussed) by high achieving people that they are phonies... perhaps not deserving of their education, career or even relationship.  This uncomfortable feeling is called Imposter Syndrome or Imposter Phenomenon, and it can cause even the most outwardly successful people in the world to doubt themselves and their innate value.

Digging into research pioneered in the 1970s by Dr. Pauline Rose Clance and R. Suzanne Imes, we will explore what Imposter Syndrome is, why it happens, how it varies between women and men, why it matters AND a few useful strategies you can implement right away to cope with imposterism if it is affecting you or your confidence and ability to move ahead toward your dreams!
