Thriving Joy with Katie Carroll

Hello Friend,

  It's just me and you this week!  I saw a reel on IG the other day about the University of Alabama's Football Head Coach retiring...and I started crying!  What?!  I didn't attend the University of Alabama, I never played football (lol!), and I'm not even a football fan (unless there's chili involved, then I'll be there with bells on!  LOL!!). But, someone in the reel brought up the idea of "REST" and I just had to tie it in to a podcast episode!

  I know that as women, and as nurses, we find it hard to rest.  "A woman's work is never done...A nurse's job is never done".  However, there is truly a gold mine for our hearts and souls when we rest; and there are people in your life who are waiting on the sidelines of your life just waiting for that moment to have some one-on-one time with you.  Being present with those you love the most is truly the best present!  

  I hope that you enjoy this episode and I'd love to hear your thoughts!  You can find me on FB, IG, LI or on my website:   https://katiecarrollcoaching.com/

  Be well!

  XOXO,    Katie

Hello sweet friend!

  Warning:  You may experience lots of FUN after listening to this episode!

  This week I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Sandhya Gokal.  Sandy, as she goes by, is a pharmacist and a health coach who helps busy individuals make healthy habits so fun that they become irresistable!

  In this episode, Sandy talks about her most recent new role of MOM!!  Sandy talks about how she has had to reframe herself and her thinking after becoming a mom not only as a woman, but as woman who owns a business.  We also talk about topics such as purpose in life and burnout, and Sandy talks about another topic in a way that I had never heard of before, and she calls it "slow health".  Sandy also talks about games and gamification as it relates to our health activities and goals.  Sandy likes to say that she has a child-like mindset when it comes to doing the work on our health (think Mary Poppins!).  After listening, I'm sure you will agree with me that Sandy is a beautiful, fun spirit whose work in the world is only just beginning!  Enjoy!

Hello friend!   It's just me and you this week!  

  I saw my nephew riding his bike all by himself for the first time this past weekend (via instagram) and I was so overwhelmed with JOY!!!  I face timed him that night to tell him how proud I was of him!

  We are such great cheerleaders for everyone else...but sometimes we forget ourselves. 

  I'd like to gift you some belief for yourself this holiday season!  

  You are worth it my friend!  It's time to start to believe it!

  XOXO,

Get ready my friend!  We’re going DOWN UNDER today with the incredible Jennifer McCormack!  I met Jennifer through our mutual podcasting Facebook group, and when I read about her and what she offers for women, I knew I had to have her on my show!

Hello friend!

Get ready to laugh!  On this week’s episode, I had the great privilege of speaking with and laughing with Linda LeClerc!  Linda and I met through our mutual podcasting collaboration facebook group.  When I read about what Linda does for a living, I had to reach out and ask her if she would like to be on my show.  She said “YES” and now we’ve been graced with her beautiful spirit and laughter!!

In this episode, we talk about what is helping Linda thrive in life right now (hint hint:  gratitude and joy!), and how Linda came to start her School of Laughter Yoga.  I sure wish I lived closer to Linda so that I could experience these magical meetings in person!!  

I just know that you’ll find yourself laughing out loud during this episode, and I sure hope that you find that this episode brings you more joy and laughter in the days ahead!!!

A little bit about Linda Le Clerc:

Linda LeClerc is the founder of the School of Laughter Yoga, the HAHA Sisterhood and Planete Joie! Linda has been speaking professionally for a long time.  She has worked with corporations, organizations and groups in North America and Europe for over 20 years now to teach them the power of laughter for dealing with stress, tough situations, stimulating creativity, building strong collaborative teams, and feeling happier and healthier.

Hello friend!

  You’re in for a real treat today, as I had the amazing Jill Brandl on my show!  Jill and I met in our mutual podcasting Facebook group and when I found out she was a nurse, it only confirmed my interest in having her on my show.

  Jill Brandl is a holistic psychiatric nurse practitioner who has turned her pain into her purpose.  After experiencing severe burnout in 2021, she became determined never to feel that way again.  Jill has gone from burned out to totally bodacious and now supports other healthcare professionals in healing from chronic stress, trauma and burnout.  Jill is the founder of The Bodacious Radiance Academy, a mind-body healing immersion for healthcare professionals.

Hello Friend,

  It's just you and me this week!  On this week's episode, I wanted to dive into the question, "Where are you putting your energy?"  I refer to the "Sunrise Gratitude" book that I have been reading this year (one passage per day), by Emily Silva.  And, I also refer to a quote by the great Tony Robbins regarding focus, energy and fear.

  As always, I'd love for you to leave me a rating and review, so that this podast can get out to more amazing humans like yourself who would enjoy listening to the show!

  Be well!

  XOXO,

  Katie
