Happy Tuesday! Today, Heather and Mary Catherine share who they most admire and the extraordinary characteristics that give them that title. Admiration is described as human emotion elicited by people of competency, talent, or skill exceeding common standards. And despite what may seem, it is not wealthy people with glamorous cars, lovely holidays, pretty faces, or luxurious houses what attract us the most. It’s traits like humility, integrity, resilience, respect for others, responsibility, and inspiring others that grasp our attention and draw us in.

Today, Heather and Mary Catherine will discuss the big R- REGRET. It isn’t actually so bad to catch yourself thinking, I wish things had turned out differently—everyone does. It’s what you think next that matters. Join us, as we explore our insights about regret and share what we would perhaps change, if we could.

It’s time to get vulnerable and share some of our more difficult “personal truths” with our listeners. Heather and Mary Catherine will discuss some experiences and hard realities that they each have faced (or are still facing) and urge you to think about your own truths that you may not readily reveal. Instead of looking at these truths shamefully, consider how you have been shaped, and even how you can aid and empower others when you share your story. We can do hard things and we can do them even better when we know we’re not alone.

Heather and Mary Catherine LOVE powerful and profound quotes and they use them as growth tools on a daily basis. In this episode, they will each share their three favorite quotes for their listeners. Grab a pen and paper and enjoy! ❤️. What are your favorite quotes? 🤔

Heather and Mary Catherine are goin’ in deep, Ya’ll. 😀 They will share what they love about being in their 40’s.... how life’s experiences and even traumas end up making the good times even sweeter.

Let’s view aging as a process of beautiful growth, where we morph into the comfort of our own skins, and embrace the second chances.

Heather and Mary Catherine will lead you through 12 episodes that will help you connect with them, as well as, become more open, available, and compassionate with yourselves. Deeply knowing yourself and connecting to others is essential to truly LIVING. Brene’ Brown states: “A deep sense of love and belonging is an irresistible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don't function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.” During your time with Heather and Mary Catherine, YOU BELONG.
