Show Notes

From Guest Trina Stutzman: I had a wake up call when a friend said to me, people pleasers are liars. I was 50 years old at the time and  to that point I felt like my life was a lie. 20 years earlier, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and I knew there was dis-ease in my body, I was unwilling to express my truth and wasn't free to act and be! When I realized my life was a lie, I decided to grow. I used my voice to be the CEO of my life. I decided to leave a 30 year marriage, I started on my recovery from people pleasing and I worked the "steps". I share my journey in a book I recently published called 12 steps to Overcome People Pleasing. For over twenty years, I have been a professional coach, I encourage people to be willing to be uncomfortable as they tell their truth and lead with their voice! Growth, aliveness and freedom happens when we are willing to be uncomfortable!

Quote:  We all suffer when we are not ourselves - Show up, stop conforming and let yourself SHINE! - Trina Stutzman

Knowledge Nuggets and Take-Aways:

• Within Trina’s journey she stopped being a people pleaser and became a truth teller
• People pleasers are liars
• Take a good hard look at your beliefs, that is where your success will come from
• If you are a people pleaser try to disappoint at least one person a day
• Having a sensitive side can be a superpower
• Tell the truth with ‘safe people’ in your life

Show Notes

About 10 years ago in Larissa’s role as a teacher, parent and coach, she observed a dramatic increase in unwanted and even violent behavior in children. Larissa noticed a possible link between this negative behavior and the increase in children’s cell phone use. This inspired her to start a research proposal to investigate further. In preliminary interviews with school administrators, teachers and early childhood educators, there was a resounding consensus indicating a negative change in children’s behavior since the introduction of handheld devices in the classroom and at home. Larissa’s focus quickly expanded to include how parents balance and monitor their children’s use of cell phones and devices. Today, this negative, and often violent behavior is still occurring and becoming increasingly worse.  By not heeding the medical guidelines, children will be unteachable in the classroom.

Quote: Be your kids landing mat, not their spitting mat - Larissa Mills

Knowledge Nuggets and Take-Aways:

• Our children's attention span is declining by the year. And if not checked will lead to real problems such as depression, burnout and not being able to cope with life
• We are not preparing kids for the real world mentally, to start to change this we need to balance our ‘tech’ out. And that starts with the hand held cell phone
• Larissa’s 4 favorite ‘F’ words in sports. Fun, Fear, Failure and Fearlessness. Make the connections with the feelings
• As  young athletes, they are always developing. Work with them to stick to routines that serve them and that will start with limiting cell phone usage. 
• Larissa is committed to being a productive human being, keeping dialogue open to progress and is planting trees she will never sit in the shade of.
