FINE is a 4-Letter Word

Going solo for today’s episode to talk about tolerations. One definition of toleration is the allowing, permitting, or accepting of an action, idea, object, or person you dislike or disagree with. I’m talking about the things that irritate you, but you put up with them anyway. Maybe because you don’t see a way around them. Or maybe because they’re irritating, but not enough to do something. First...

It’s my honor to chat with Jenn Wallace today about the ups and downs of running your own business without any real business experience and what it means to have great confidence and faith in what God, the Universe, Spirit has called you to do. Jenn’s sharing the tools that worked for her as she managed through the unexpected end of a big dream. And she may have dropped a hint about what’s coming...

On today’s show, I get to talk with human kindness leader and possibility coach Gina Lemon.  Gina’s parents divorced when she was 6 and she and her mom moved around throughout her childhood. Like many Gen-Xers, she was given a lot of independence, which translated into a constant striving for excellence, which translated into the belief that accomplishments get you appreciation. She was 17 wh...

My guest today is someone who was raised with a strong sense of independence and a feeling of responsibility for taking care of others.

My guest today is Dr. Liz DuBois. Our conversation covers a lot of ground – from being raised in a church that taught her who she is, was not ok, to her quest to find a world with more diversity and acceptance. From the similarities between addicts and high achievers, and how it’s a combination of belief systems and brain chemistry driving them. To owning and investigating your pain instead of kee...

Thoughts are part of the human experience. You don’t need to push them away in order to be good at meditation. Learning to bring your mind back from its thoughts is an integral part of practicing meditation. But how do you let go of those thoughts once they’ve pulled you in? This exercise offers you a way to “unhook” yourself from those thoughts and simply let them be. Without pushing your thought...

On today’s episode, my guest is a man who is the very definition of someone who wears many hats.

We’re talking about balancing feminine and masculine energy, accepting failure as part of the dance, and seeing a vision so cl...

On today’s episode, Tina Kadish and I are talking about her definition of freedom, what happens when you don’t keep promises to yourself, and why you’ll only take action when you’re ready. Growing up an Italian immigrant family with a scarcity mindset, Tina stayed in a marriage and then a job for longer than she would have liked because she was afraid of not having or making enough money. Listen t...

We’re talking about her transition from high-level student-athlete to human r...

Welcome to the 50th episode of Fine is a 4-Letter Word!

Because if you don’t integrate them into your identity, they’ll just roll off as if they never happened. And you’ll never feel satisfied.

The first wake up call that woke him up temporarily and the adjustments he m...

This meditation is a bit different than others you've found here. In this one, you're on your own and there aren't any words. Sit or lie comfortably and simply focus on the sound of the singing bowls. Singing bowls have been used for centuries in meditations and healing work. The bowls produce sounds that affect both the body and mind on a deep level. The Solar Plexus chakra is associated with you...

Today's episode is a real treat. I’m talking with Tony Jalan about motivation, problem solving, owning where you are in life, and practicing intentional gratitude.

Tony is an award-Winning Executive Sales Leader (8x) and a Certified John...
