Podcast: EP 72 Healing the Heart

by | Dec 15, 2021 | Podcast, Self Care

“What invites the cozy into your life?”

 

This is a question that popped into my mind as I was preparing this episode about healing your heart. The topic came to me as I was thinking about what my audience needed to hear right now, and I know it’s meant for you or someone you know. I love self-care, as you know, but this specific kind of self-care is extra important when you have been heart-hurt.

In this episode, I share 5 ways that I have learned to heal my own heart in times of challenge, pain or adversity. I hope they support you or someone you love in their season of healing, because it’s possible.

“A broken heart is an open heart.” – Mark Nepo

Podcast: EP 71 The Morning Walk with Libby DeLana

Podcast: EP 71 The Morning Walk with Libby DeLana

by | Nov 30, 2021 | Podcast, Self Care

Imagine taking a walk every day for 10 years.

 

That’s exactly what my new friend Libby has done for the past decade. She is an incredible creative director by profession, but she has recently written a book about what she has learned from getting outside to walk every day.

Libby Park DeLana is an award-winning executive creative director, designer/art director by trade, who has spent her 30+ year career in the ad world. She was the Director of Design at MullenLowe for 15 years, then went on to co-found the agency Mechanica. Libby’s work has been featured in The One Show Awards, CannesLions, and in publications including D&AD, Fast Company, Ageist, Graphis, and Communication Arts. She has been profiled by the BBC Radio 4 series The Chain and several podcasts.

Libby is committed to purpose-driven organizations. She is currently on the Board of Directors for BlinkNow and The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center, and she is an advisor to It’s August. An advocate for female leadership, an aspiring pilot, avid fly fisherwoman, fan of a strong cup of tea and mum to two tall, smart, kind men.

She started walking in 2011 and hasn’t missed a day since; as a result, she has walked the circumference of the earth.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder of how we can radically transform our lives through the simplest habits and what happens when we practice staying grounded.

“Staying grounded adds magic to any day.”

You can be in gratitude and desire at the same time.

 

Let that statement sink in. It’s at the core of being a great giver and a great receiver. And it’s essential to understand if you are going to raise your standards and manifest what you most want.

In this episode, I challenge you to raise your standards by letting yourself desire and be in gratitude. To aim for more joy, more pleasure, more love. I share some of my favorite methods for doing this and I hope you take action on the ones that speak to you.

What would happen if you went all in?

 

I made a new friend in the last year who has such a powerful energy and makes whoever he’s with feel so good, I have become a fan. I love his restaurants and I love his value of going all in on what he’s focused on.

From selling his first self-built business at the age of 19, Michael has made one thing clear – “a good business only scales or sells.” Over the past decade, this 39-year-old industry disruptor has built a world-class team and honed skills in all aspects of experiential brand and concept creation, culture building and high-performance operations from start-up to multi-million-dollar enterprises. Michael’s dedication to “Championing others to their Fullest Potential” is evident having created more than 2500 jobs, 7 viable brands and opening more than 65 restaurants, Michael has a gift for influencing others and creating one of a kind brands. National award-winning concepts under TMG’S crest have changed the course of the restaurant industry.

This conversation is a powerful insight into what happens when you go all in on your business, your relationships, and your life.

“I found myself making the most money I’d ever made in my life, being the most alone.”

Podcast: EP 69 Raise Your Standards

Podcast: EP 67 Gratitude Is a Game Changer

by | Oct 26, 2021 | Podcast, Success

It’s the 10 year anniversary of my gratitude series.

 

Ten years ago, I started hosting a free interview series every November about gratitude and generosity. I call those two the super g’s because I think they have the power to bring what we want into our lives. This year I’m so excited to be hosting the series for the tenth time that I’m actually doing 10 interviews throughout the month. 

In this episode, I share the story of why I started the Gratitude Series, when I almost quit doing it, and how to practice daily gratitude to bring in all the power it holds. I hope you join me for this year’s gratitude series. It will be an amazing experience, as always.

“To live in gratitude is to live in power.” – Richard Paul Evans
