Podcast: EP 44 A Soft Space to Land

by | Nov 16, 2020 | Podcast, Self Care

Let’s take a breath together.

 

With the year we’ve had, it’s time to double down on self-care. I know I talk a lot about this, but it’s more relevant than ever.

I’m inviting you in this episode to just land in a safe place with me for a bit. To re-visit what nourishment feels like, what self-care looks like for you, and how important it is for doing better, feeling better, and grounding ourselves.

“What if I could become the safest place I know?”

Podcast: EP 34 Vivacious Living with Mary Crafts

Podcast: EP 34 Vivacious Living with Mary Crafts

by | Jun 24, 2020 | Challenge, Podcast, Self Care

I’m sharing one of my dearest friends on the show.

 

Mary is a sister to me, a dear friend, a light, an inspiration, and so much more. We’ve gotten to know each other over the past two years and what a gift that has been. I wanted to share her story on the podcast because I know everyone will relate to her beautiful transformation from fear to love.

Mary Crafts is…quite simply…. a living legend. From humble beginnings and dire circumstances, she invested blood, sweat and countless tears into building what would become the most celebrated catering company in Utah.

That multi-million dollar empire became the launching pad for so much more. Today, Mary has handed the reins of her catering empire to her incredibly gifted children who have taken her company to the next level, while Mary turns her attention to helping others build their dreams.

 

In this conversation, Mary shares her story of a huge wake-up call at 50 years old, her journey of learning to face her fears, lose excess weight, transform her life, and even climb Mt. Kilimanjaro at the age of 65. Get ready for an amazing story – Mary is the example that anything is possible.

“What would I do today if I wasn’t afraid?”

Podcast: EP 33 Choose Your Legacy with Steve Dennis

by | Jun 16, 2020 | Challenge, Love, Podcast

Get ready to nourish your heart with light.

 

I got to have a powerful, heart-breaking, and nourishing conversation with a dear friend a couple of weeks ago. My heart was in pain over the events happening in our country after the death of George Floyd and I was looking for clarity and answers. Steve shared such beautiful insight with me that I knew it would be a gift if he shared his story and perspectives with my podcast audience.

Internationally acclaimed entrepreneur, speaker, trainer and life coach, Steve Dennis has shared the stage with such personal development masters as John Maxwell and Jack Canfield. Steve is a member of The John Maxwell Team, an elite group of certified coaches and communicators mentored by the #1 leadership expert in the world and New York Times best-selling author, John Maxwell.

Steve trains and motivates with an emphasis on strengthening leaders and helping them to maximize their skills and effectiveness and identify the potential in the individual. He digs deep and identifies the potential in people. He believes that in order to build businesses, you first must build people.  

In this conversation, Steve shares his wisdom about growing up as a black man in America, being bullied for being overweight, and making the choice to transform his pain into light and legacy. I hope that this episode will nourish your heart the same way it did mine.

“I am not what you call me, I am only what I answer to.”
