In this episode, we interview Erika Hull, married mother of 6, entrepreneur, author and business owner who shares her story of overcoming and surviving abuse in every area of her life.  Her healing began when she found her voice and shared her truth.  Her own healing has led her to reach out and support other women, starting the Cornher office with her business partner, Dr. Cheryl Jackson.  The Cornher office has the mission to level the playing field for women in business, distributing the privilege, so everyone has the same opportunities to thrive.  This allows primary parents to not have to choose between work and family by creating an environment where they can work, create, and pursue their passions while caring for young children.  Listen and be inspired!

In this episode, we explore ow we have both been through some really tough times in our lives.  Both of us feel that the most difficult times have led to the most growth and even the biggest blessings when we viewed these challenges as a way to grow and change, adjusting to the new reality which was forced upon us.  When we are faced with difficult situations in life, we can often move forward by changing our perspectives from a victim mentality to a perspective of overcoming and then look for ways to help others.  It really does feel good to give back!

Welcome to Mimosa Monday on Tuesday due to the Memorial Day Holiday.  Enjoy our visit together!

In this episode we explore how there are things we often see as negative but are actually positive in ways to grow and evolve.  Daydreams give us ideas to focus on for our future while hope gives us goals for our future.  Restlessness is the energy we need to move forward to reach those goals.  Don't be afraid to daydream, hope and feel the excitement of restlessness in order to grow! 

In this episode, we explore how it can be harmful to our self-esteem if we are constantly comparing ourselves to what we see on social media and other sources. Social media is often filled with edited and artificial versions of reality which can make us feel like we can't compare.  We change the thinking and discuss four strategies that can be used to benefit from social comparison which is from an article in Psychology Today.   Healthy ways to use comparison include focusing on similarities, setting your own goals, establishing collaborative norms and looking at more than one person to compare yourself to. Comparisons can actually lead to building self-esteem and motivating growth in ourselves.  Isn't that a better way to look at comparisons??

On this episode, we share how we often forget to give ourselves grace and that leads to not following our own advice.  Allowing ourselves to relax and not calling it "lazy" needs to be a part of our week.  Keeping too busy without a break can make us anxious and edgy.  With some rest, we can do a better job in all areas of our lives.  What do you need to do for down time? 

On this episode, we share how we have both been on a journey of growth.  On these journeys, we can sometimes lose sight of what is happening in the moment when we are too focused on the end product.  We encourage our listeners and ourselves to slow down and appreciate what is going on during a period of growth as a part of moving toward our goals. We share that we want to focus on the connections we are making and noticing how we are changing as a part of the journey to our goals while recognizing that even when that goal is met, new ones will be set.  What journey are you on and what do you want to pay attention to in order to enjoy the journey?
