Podcast: EP 78 Just Start

Podcast: EP 78 Just Start

by | Mar 31, 2022 | Podcast, Success

It’s time to begin.

 

It’s spring time and it feels like a season of new beginnings. Taking imperfect action was the topic of the very first episode I recorded for this podcast, and it feels like a good time to revisit that idea. This is one of my favorite key success principles. 

In this episode, I share some stories from my own life of what has happened when I’ve waited to be ready to be ready and times when I’ve just started. I hope this gives you the courage to just start.

“Don’t prepare. Just begin.”

What happens when you lose the love of your life?

 

This is what today’s guest discovered after her husband Richard died suddenly at age 45. She has written so much wisdom on this topic and I love hearing her insight and spirit speak on transformation, grief, and joy.

Kristine Carlson is a New York Times bestselling author, best known for her work with her late husband, Dr. Richard Carlson in the Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff series—with over 25 million books sold worldwide. She is a renowned speaker, inspiring podcast host, retreat leader and blogger. Her mission is to help women transform from heartbreak and loss to live their best lives with joy, gratitude, renewed passion and purpose. With her resilient spirit, powerful presence and heart-centered teaching, she guides women through the challenges and transitions of middle life and awakens them to their truth and the expression of their highest selves.

This conversation is about healing, transformation, success, trusting the process, and being open to joy. I hope it speaks to you as much as it spoke to me.

Podcast: EP 76 The Kindness Effect with Jill Donovan

by | Feb 17, 2022 | Podcast, Success

When you know you have a purpose that you aren’t living yet, keep going.

 

I love a great entrepreneurial story and when I met the founder of Rustic Cuff and read her book, I knew I had to share it with you. If you have been searching for your true purpose, that spark of joy, Jill’s story is going to inspire you to keep going.

Jill Donovan was born in Baltimore, Maryland; was raised in Pensacola, Florida; and graduated from Oral Roberts University, in Tulsa, Oklahoma where she met her husband, Terry. She went on to get her law degree from the University of Tulsa and was a practicing attorney and adjunct law professor at TU law school when Rustic Cuff was born.

She taught herself how to make cuffs and gifted them to friends and family. Today, Rustic Cuff jewelry is sold in more than 250 stores across the country. The brand has been featured on many national TV shows including Good Morning America, The Today Show, E! News and The View. When not working, Donovan enjoys spending time with her daughter’s, Ireland 13, and Peanut, 9.

This conversation is an incredible reminder that your path is unique to you and it will lead you exactly where you are meant to go, no matter the time or route it takes.

“Kindness is its own language. Study it until you’re fluent.”
