February 06, 2023 Newsflash: You're manifesting the wrong things
This week on The X Podcast, I share my word for 2023.
I haven't always been consistent with picking a word for the year. If it suits me I will.
I remember back in 2018 my word was INCREDIBLE because I didn't want to respond when people asked me how I was doing to say, "I'm fine". Most days that year I wasn't fine. I was on my gap year, finalizing my divorce, transitioning my daughters to a new home, and unemployed. It was easy to default to being fine to escape how I was really feeling. I made a commitment to myself if I couldn't respond with "I'm feeling incredible" that I needed to do something that day for me to step into the feeling of being incredible.
I skipped a few years and then came back to the word of the year in 2022. I chose UNLEASH and I keep using it in my business.
Listen to this episode to learn my word for 2023.
I'm curious what your word is. Leave me a reply on my IG page @itsbrendarigney.

January 22, 2023 Mistakes you're making when setting healthy boundaries
This week on The X Podcast we are Setting Clear Boundaries.
Most often people get confused about what boundaries are and what they are not. In this episode, I set the record straight by looking at the difference between how we create intimacy and deeper connections with the people we love and simply setting expectations for other people.
Tune in to learn how we can prevent others from violating our important spaces in our lives and how to do it from a place of kindness, love and compassion.

January 14, 2023 Creating a Coalition of Compassionate Mother & Allies with Alexis Doss-Verdicchio
This week on The X Podcast I am speaking with Alexis Doss-Verdicchio. Alexis is a mother of two and wife. Alexis is the CEO and Founder of Ignited Mothers Coalition.
Alexis is driven by the desire to make impactful and sustainable change for women, kids, families and her community. But truly beyond that, she wants to recognize that the support systems she has are not always available to everyone so by creating a coalition of compassionate allies, she can better connect those who need help with those who can provide assistance while inspiring a little joy along the way.

This week's guest on The X Podcast is a real treat for me - Jo Knight Dutkewich and expert in human behaviour and the Principal of FOURwards!
Jo helps professionals and organization reduce suffering and thrive. Jo fundamentally believes the health & effectiveness of every system is a direct result of the quality of leaderships thinking - what they believe to be true, what scares them, what they tolerate, what they believe their role is, their driving purpose, etc.
