TrailMix

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS! We are sooooo excited that 2021 is here, it really couldn’t come soon enough…BUT is that too much to anticipate a complete change with just a new date on the calendar? We need to chat about how we kick off the “new” year. What are some realistic expectations? First and foremost, should we make a resolution? The definition of resolution is, “a firm decision to do or not to do something.” Maybe after 2020 we just jump right in and don’t put any pressure on ourselves? We hope you will join us and we kick off the new year; together!

Okay, we know that everyone is ready to move on and the New Year can’t get here soon enough, BUT we aren’t going to let the year come to a close without “mixing” it up. We MUST stop and chat about it; the good, bad and ugly. We won’t dwell on every little detail, but we have been through a lot this last year and we have learned so much. It is an important chapter in our story.  Come on, you won’t regret it, if you join us to put 2020 in a box and tie a “bow” right on top! 

Happy, Happy and Merry, Merry to you! This year, more than ever, we all feel like Christmas can’t get here soon enough but why is that? Why does this time of year change us? Not just the lights, sounds, and smells of the Holiday Season but more that - can we find the JOY of Christmas every day? We will talk traditions, favorite Christmas memories and more, so get some hot chocolate and trail mix and let’s celebrate the SEASON together!

Viewing Life in the rearview mirror is always a little tricky, but if mixing it up and chewing on it appropriately can give some perspective on how to process “life’s defining moments”, it’s certainly worth the effort. Covid Lockdown will definitely be one of those moments; so today join Mary and Jody as they share some “life moments” and how to use them and lose them as we move forward and enjoy the ride!

Is there such a thing as, “good fear”? Mary and Jody are going to address the fear of “fear”…HEAD ON. Unless you are totally fearless, (and based on statistics you aren’t), this podcast is for you, because we all need to be reminded; courage isn’t the lack of fear but it is pushing forward in spite of your fear.

“A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes,”  - thank you Cinderella for those awesome lyrics! What’s up with our dreams? Do they really make a difference? Will wishing something to happen change anything? Mary and Jody are going to take us on the journey of a dream.

We love tradition. It gives us comfort and brings us home. Thanksgiving will most likely look different this year but that doesn’t mean we won’t have any of our traditions, it just means that we may add some new ones. This year we will need to make sure to focus a little extra on gratitude, on the readiness to show appreciation for other AND make sure we return the kindness. Join us as we get ready to be grateful.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Let us repeat….YOU ARE NOT ALONE! That is one truth that Mary and Jody believe; but some days (especially during quarantines and tough times), there can be an overwhelming sense of isolation. Perhaps, the biggest reason for this podcast is to know: we are all in this together. Let’s talk about it.

Words, words, words. Words are fun, but they have real POWER! They help, they hurt, they are loaded with impact AND they can be sunshine on a cloudy day. Today’s TrailMix is all about our words. You will learn some new ones, chat about some that we wish would go away, and mostly discuss how to make sure your words, “matter”!

We are fortunate folks that get to call this great country home. On today’s podcast we celebrate the U.S.A. and our right to vote!
