Your Practical Magic

In our final episode of the year, we speak with Rosemary Flannery, about how to go from clutter to clarity while clearing a path to happiness and making space for more grace, ease and joy.

This is the perfect episode to inspire some big and small ways to neatly put 2020 away and step into 2021 with clarity and vision, including:

How an organized space can help you live your best life

Get past overwhelm with simple exercises

When to let go of things that no longer make you smile

Why turning a blind eye to a particular room may have a deeper meaning for you

Plus, Rosemary brings a holiday gift! Listen for an exclusive YPM free 60-min consultation offer.

Happy decluttering, space-making and warm wishes for the brightest future!

It's our time of year — the end of it! We really mean the time when what we strive for in our lives is truly celebrated:  grace, ease & joy. In planning this month's premiere, we reflected on last year's episode "The Presents of Presence," where we focused less on presents and a lot more about presence, because being present is in short supply at this busy time of year. Gennifer and Noreen share a meaningful conversation where we revisit the gifts that we had received that touched us deeply and raised our spirits. Our most cherished items ranged from "found items" given to us by a surprise someone to an incredibly thoughtful invitation for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.We reflect on the flow of generosity and gratitude and how difficult it can be, for women especially, to receive, resulting in blocking — even hoarding — that magical exchange of giving and receivingThen you're invited! We reveal items that have brought us either grace, ease or joy and are providing you with links on our site so you can purchase them for yourself, a friend, family member or maybe even a stranger.  Our authentically curated list of gift ideas is from both of our hearts as is our deepest blessing that your December is warm and bright.

Imagine if your family could talk about conflict in a way where everyone involved felt heard, cared for and supported; with each of you joined by your own therapist, who brings compassion and respect for everyone involved.

Gennifer and Noreen talk to Tanya Cole-Lesnick, LCSW-R, an expert in navigating family dynamics, about The Nest — an incredibly supportive and nurturing opportunity innovated at The Lighthouse Retreat & Wellness Center located in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.  We chat about The Nest as an integrated family therapy experience that offers an alternative to more traditional programs. Some of their tools include:

⭐  💚 ⭐   In-the-moment live journaling: where clients can capture situations as they are being felt (vs a week later after processing it). This allows the individual sessions to focus on the deeper work so time isn’t wasted on catching up.

⭐  💚  ⭐  Being a Professional Witness:* where the therapists bring their professional training and relationship with their client to the group meeting and at the same time hold space for this experience on behalf of the client and the therapeutic relationship. *name coined by Noreen in an aha moment

⭐  💚  ⭐  Loving support: from the therapists, not just for their clients, but for all individual family members involved, making this a very inclusive, collaborative experience to help a family heal and move forward together. 

We hope this conversation inspires your curiosity and wonderabout new ways for you and those you love to thrive.

Noreen and Gennifer speak with Ken Dashow, one of New York’s most loved DJs and a foremost authority on the Beatles. We talk about the serendipity of Beatles coming together and how their journey changed the world with their music.

We also take a look at some of the most unanswerable questions ever! How, after over 50 years, are The Beatles STILL the number one selling artists in the world? And what was the magic that brought them together?

How the four members of the Beatles came together against the odds

Their choice to take a risk and disrupt their mop-top success to produce new music that authentically reflected their own spiritual growth 

Fun stories and observations from other classic rock legends about the Beatles 

John Lennon’s messages then and how they are still relevant right now

We hope this beautiful conversation reconnects you with the lyrics, the melodies, and reminds you that “All You Need is Love.” 

Ken is the afternoon host of Q104.3, a classic rock radio station, and the host of Breakfast with the Beatles, which airs every Sunday on iHeartRadio.

How good are you at "living and letting live?" Noreen & Gennifer take a look at different personality tests and different energy sensory systems for their insights into our individual strengths, communication styles and stress responses. (eek!) It's a fun look at ways to move through our "need to know" to the deeper gift of compassion, for ourselves and others. 

Knowledge is power, so knowing this about ourselves, our co-workers, our students and our families can make life a little easier...A little insight goes a long way!

Gennifer and Noreen speak to Peggy Kim about the unexpected graces & glories that can sprout from the passion to serve.

Peggy has dedicated herself to the conscious, compassionate cultivation of the next generation of media leaders after realizing that the guidance she needed when she was starting out still wasn't readily available 20 years later. She started Future Now Media Foundation to channel her heart-driven intention to pass the baton and help students become authentic, creative leaders representing truth, integrity, and excellence.

 

Whenever ending preventable suffering becomes your motivating force, true practical magic takes place! Peggy's vision sparks purpose and gratification among everybody involved. Industry experts continue to guide and grow a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive community, and alumni are now involved in producing events like this year's virtual conference. Regardless of whether they're entry-level or executives, everyone feels the love.  And remember when love leads, you can do anything.

In this light-hearted interview from Health & Cooking Coach, Tina Corrado, of "Tina to Table,” we learn how Tina kept 150 lbs off for over 17 years by developing a positive relationship with food and cooking. She created her healthiest self by understanding her habits and choices and redefining the childhood lesson that food = love. Now she helps her clients do the same.

As we all get back on track the best we can -- taking it day by day -- we found this episode to be a great reminder of the steps we can take to truly nourish our bodies while changing our status with food from “it’s complicated” to “in a relationship” with lots of hearts.
