January 29, 2022 53. Facing the Unknown
Send Jay comments via text
Listen, facing the unknown can seem scary because we get ourselves wrapped up in the fear of change. All fear is a belief that you can or you can’t and a contraction like CAN'T will kill more dreams than failure.
In this episode, I take a look at what facing the unknown means - career, relationship, health - and provide 10 steps and examples from my own life that can help you move forward.

You're a human.

January 15, 2022 51. It's Not How, It's Who
Send Jay comments via text
You, my friend, are the only person in control of your thoughts and feelings - seriously, no one else can make you think something and they definitely can’t make you feel something despite you wanting to believe that about your circumstances.
You are the only one responsible for, in charge of, and in control of what you think and how you feel about your life. And the steps to changing that is working through your crap and what’s holding you back.

In this episode I dive into what it means to work on the WHO before working on the HOW.

January 01, 2022 49. NYE BONUS: I'm Grateful For You....And a Free Gift
Send Jay comments via text
If you’re a regular listener, well let me just say thank you for making 2021 a great year! Seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whether you know it or not, you’ve been an important part of my journey and I’m grateful for your support.

When I first began Positivity on Fire on New Year’s Eve 2020 – in the midst of a global pandemic no less – I had no clue where the show would go and what I would share. I just knew more positivity was needed in the world and I was called to do my part.

As we mark the 1 year anniversary of the show I have amazing news to share and can't wait for 2022 to begin -- it's going to be an incredible year.
