Positive parenting is definitely one at the top of our minds as we raise our children. Now it's one thing to desire to do it right and another thing to actually do the right things. Parenting without shouting / yelling is one that Remi Makanjuola, Founder of Grace to Parent highly recommends as an outstanding approach. On this episode, she shares her own CrossRoads Journey, as a recovering shouter, to choosing this route as well as noteworthy tips to help us embrace and implement this concept.

As critical as foundations are to a building, so are roots to a tree. The deeper and stronger these are, the higher the buildings & trees can go, the stronger they are withstanding storms. But, how strong are your foundations? How deep? Or probably we should start here, how aware are you of the roots you need to grow to carry the dreams that you're holding on to?

Keep this in mind though, getting this all right, sets you up to win. On 'First Comes The Roots' I try to share highlights of the 4 day workshop we had in May - Rooting To Thrive; where we focused on foundational blocks to thriving - Power of Awareness, The E-Influence, Power of MasterMind and The Thriving Formula. Here's an episode you can come back to, even after 05.06.2020 when the free replay of the videos expires.

Steep curves slide! The steeper a curve the more slippery, and that has been the experience for many in this season - trying to learn new things or master some skills within a shorter time span than before. In this episode, I share some tips on how to stay climbing on every learning curve one gets on, without sliding off. I have jumped on a number myself and can say these tips work, starting with the understanding that you can learn and you can grow!

What you focus on grows! When the word CEDAR came to my heart, as I looked for how to consolidate my work with home-based individuals and those in one life transition or another, I knew there was more to it than being just a 5 letter word. First I discovered 3 amazing things that makes the Cedar Tree/Wood so special. Then within the name I identified 10 words that have surfaced over the years in my conversations and the work I've done - Clarity, Consistency, Expression of Gifts, Excellence, DISCover & Develop, Authenticity, Accountability, Relevance & Reward.

So, it was with so much joy that I announced on my birthday this new initiative by The Polished Lens company, representing its online community and coaching program. On this episode I share how the uniqueness of Cedar will shape how I believe we will support people going forward, to Thrive Like CEDAR.
