WE'RE NOT GOING BACK

The only thing we should not do is do nothing.

It's a FEW against MILLIONS of us... The time to do ANYthing and EVERYthing we can, no matter how small, is NOW!! 1. Do NOT OBEY in advance, they're counting on that 2. Stay focused. This huge sh*tshow is meant to paralyze us. 3. Do NOT COMPLY w/o resisting, make it hard to FW 4. SPEAK OUT, silence is acceptance 5. SHOW you can be COUNTED on / a FAFO attitude 6. Seek information and SHARE...

Let us be mindful of our… ** News sources, and how much we consume… refocus now and then on what matters most ** At any given time there’s chaos in the world, executive orders can/are being sign into being ** What’s for SHOW/INTIMIDATION (deportations in Military planes), and what is actually taking effect? ** Let not our peace be stolen… while STLL letting our voices be heard… because silence is...

These are not so much “show notes” per se, but just MY bullet points, which I use to try and stay on track as I speak. ** Take it one day at time… are you ok RIGHT NOW? ** Do NOT obey/submit in advance. ** Stand up for those who cannot… if we (those who can withstand the winds) do not stand up, what does that make us?? ** Support/back those (back the blue) who risk everything to protect us… ** Sil...

Recent events have gotten me thinking more about the meaning of neutrality than I normally would.   It’s so easy for our brain to spiral into darkness, fear, sadness or other unpleasant emotions.   So, how do we bring it back to a neutral zone as soon as possible (if we’re ready) so we can do life?   One thing I know for sure is… life will always throw us curveballs from time to time… be it sickne...

I’m seeing, and feeling, more fragility in the last couple of weeks than I have in quite a while… due to the election results… but it’s mostly due to where our focus is.   Is ignorance bliss?   If ignorance is bliss, do you remember a time in your life when you suffered greatly, only to look back now and ask yourself… “what the heck was I thinking?”.   During the depression not everyone was poor…...

This 2024 election more than any other I can remember, has been the most shocking and divisive, not just across party lines, but within families across our nation! Marginalized communities are being targeted with things like mass deportations. Threats have been made about prosecuting political “enemies” Women are facing/experiencing the erasing/turning back women’s rights   Informational resources...

If  we  look at our life… be it relationships, working conditions or income, our baseline may be keeping us safe, but also just  comfortable enough to keep us from growing  to a greater version of ourselves.

The following statement gave me cause for deep contemplation… “We hurt our own feelings by thinking we mean more to people than we really do.”   I agree up to the ‘thinking’ part, but not on the ‘mean more’ part… that part we actually do not know, and will never know.   Other related Podcast Episode(s): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-90-self-imposed-misery/id1597656935?i=1000624439287  ...

There are TWO kinds of prophesies… Self-fulfilling, and SELF (no dash, meaning YOU) fulfilling prophesy. Instead of being swept into a prophesy you want no part of, create your own freakin’ prophesy!

Where do emotions/feelings come from?  We often think it’s from what’s happening around us… circumstances (others/jerks, traffic, government, poverty, etc).

When is “enough” enough? For me it’s… ALWAYS, and NEVER! Sometimes for me it is enough not to have to leave the comfort of my home to earn money to meet my basic needs. Other times… let’s talk about why "enough" is not always enough. IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

When we lose control of our emotions, we give our power away to another person, or a circumstance! Being able to manage our temper is a sign of a good leader, a kind person, a person that can be trusted. Losing our cool is a sign of having low self-esteem, where we take things personally, to our own detriment, and make others miserable! Being able to control our emotions, especially negative ones,...

Being aware of the contrast difference between us, can help us see and appreciate not being something we don’t like to see in the world.

[Stay to the end for a funny Ep 113: The Fires We Burn edit/remix by my husband!] Growth and evolution are humanity’s nature, an innate desire… we can count on that forever. How do I know if I want to grow & evolve? If you feel stagnant, bored, sad, wish to do things you see others do but you think you can’t do. How do I know  what my purpose is? We humans have MANY purposes at different phase...

First, the “how” of unlocking the key to anything we want in life keeps being revealed to us over and over, but we keep missing the opportunity to grab it! You/we all have ideas that pop up as we go about our everyday lives, all of us do… but what do most of us do with them? NOT a thing! We also miss many ideas that are floating around everywhere… example: how to pay off your mortgage, improve our...

We’ve all seen (and been) people who believe that our life’s results are outside of our control. My hope is that, if you are thinking that now, from now on you never again believe that your destiny is in someone else’s hands and not your own. No one is in charge of us and our lives… Not our work boss Not our government Not our husband Not our parents, after 18 We do not ever HAVE to do anything if...

What’s the difference between real and  self-imposed  victimization? Our thoughts! In the movie  Room , as little Jack reads the line “ For you see, out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice begun to think that  very   few things indeed were really impossible . ” From the book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this girl’s thoughts changed in one instant, although she had been, and most...

Our narrative, how we think of our life and ourselves, creates who we become and therefor our lives. When our narrative is not helping us create the life we want, what can we do? Listen and find out.

It’s not always easy to be on the battlefield, where we are tested to our very limits. Some days I just want to quit!! Today I wanted to quit… big time! Then I saw the plays on my last few episodes and I remembered the words of one of my coaches, “If I can help even just ONE woman, my efforts matter. I will not quit and let her down.” I also just wanted to cry, because she also said that in the be...

What does it mean to be at the HELM of one’s life? What is a helm? Helm (per Google): a tiller or wheel and any associated equipment for steering a ship or boat in a certain direction . “She stayed at the helm, alert for tankers.” Our life is like a ship… there are many moving parts that work in conjunction to get us to where we want to go . Be at the helm in ALL areas of your life, they all matte...

What set of choices brought us to our current life? Did we make conscious choices with a certain outcome in mind or did we just stumble our way here?

Why do most of us fall short of achieving our dreams? Because we’re not ALL IN on what it takes to do the thing! We’re not willing to work 80 hrs/week for ourselves to not work 40 hrs for someone else, but work those 80 hrs on OUR TERMS! Are you ALL IN?? I hope you said YES! Let's go!!!
