81. What about LOVE? 08.02.2022 32:22
LOVE, by definition, is an intense feeling of deep connection. And since your thoughts create your emotions, only YOU feel or experience love and connection, or whatever you’re feeling. To try and clarify a bit more, if someone else is feeling love, it’s not because of anything you said or did, but rather what they’re choosing to think about what you said or did to generate the feeling of love. In...

79. Maybe You’re Just CONFUSED 25.01.2022 28:26
Never choose CONFUSION! Phrases like “I don’t know” or “I just don’t understand” is you brain’s way of tricking you into indecision. The brain wants to convince you that being confused is the best option because it keeps you in indecision which feels safer than making decisions and moving into KNOWING. There really is no good reason to be confused. You have all the answers inside of you. So when y...
78. IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! 18.01.2022 29:48
Choice is where our power is. So often we want to blame the choices we make on others or our circumstances. But the reality is, regardless of the circumstance, we always get to choose who we are going to be and how we are going to show up in the world. Because what other people are thinking, saying, or doing is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. Once you’ve done the work to love and value yourself above what...
77. Get TIME on your side! 11.01.2022 27:03
Feeling like there’s never enough time? Then we’ve got you! Tune in to todays episode to hear how to get time on your side. “It’s going to take too long” “I’m going to get interrupted” “It has to be done the RIGHT way” Sound familiar? In your brains effort to save energy, it offers all of these THOUGHTS…they’re just part of a story you made up. They’re positioning you and they keep you from taking...
76. Creating SUCCESS 04.01.2022 25:59
The brain likes certainty. But our brains were not made just to follow the step-by-step instructions of others. We have this amazing tool that will allow us to create an amazing life when we use it with intention. The challenge in pushing our brains into creation is that our brains feel safe and tell us we can’t do it because it’s unknown which is why when we try and fail a lot of times we give up...
75. Here’s to NOW & the FUTURE! 28.12.2021 24:59
There is not better than here, and then is not better than now. The future is simply an opportunity for learning, growing, and becoming an even better version of ourselves. Our brains are so very creative and imaginative, so as we are creating our future, let’s be sure to intentionally create and imagine the BEST that could happen and then set our brains to work figuring out how to attain it. It’s...

We truly hope you have a wonderful week full of peace leading up to a very Merry Christmas ✌️🎄🎁 Peace is more easily attained when you have someone helping you look at the thoughts that may be keeping you from feeling it. So reach out NOW to Kimberlee...
73. How STRESS actually benefits you! 14.12.2021 24:19
Stress…It’s a killer! Or so we’ve heard and maybe believed. But today we want to offer you a NEW way to think about stress. What if stress could actually benefit you? In a Ted Talk titled “How to make stress your friend”, Kelly McGonigal shares several studies supporting the idea that when you change the way you THINK about stress, it actually changes your bodies response to stress. Which falls ri...
72. Decide Ahead of Time 07.12.2021 22:51
Don’t you like to feel prepared? It feels safe, right? When we think we’re going into a situation having planned for what we can, we have more peace and confidence. There are times we think we have an idea of how things will go, but even when we don’t, we can always decide who we’ll be and how we’ll show up. Here’s the thing…if someone shows you who they are, believe them! Don’t expect others to c...
71. Dissolving DEFENSIVENESS 30.11.2021 25:06
We’re all more alike than we think…initially. In this episode, we’ll share with you a great concept that helps dissolve defensiveness, discouragement, and disconnection. Left in default mode, our brains are always on high alert to be looking for what’s wrong or different. As you listen today, hopefully you’ll find that we can manage our minds into looking for similarities that can create more peac...
70. Accommodating ANXIETY with Amanda Naylor 23.11.2021 43:23
ANXIETY…it’s such a buzz word and encompasses so many challenging emotions, especially for special needs kiddos that are on the autism spectrum or have sensory processing disorder. This week we are privileged to have another amazing RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician), Amanda Naylor, who is also Alisha’s 3rd daughter. She shares some fantastic tips on how we can all show up a little better for...
69. She’s got SKILLS! - Behavioral Help with BrieAnna Murdock 16.11.2021 42:28
We live in a world with people who have special needs…we just do! And we can all do a little better at creating a community of compassion. On today’s episode, we interview BrieAnna Murdock, who is a Registered Behavioral Technician (and Kimberlee’s oldest child) who works with children ranging from ages 2-16 to help them overcome aversive behavior as well as teach them functional communication and...
68. LIGHTEN UP! - How to stop creating more misery for yourself. 09.11.2021 26:53
Have you ever judged someone, and then felt guilty for judging them? Pretty sure we all have. We feel bad when we judge, and then we feel WORSE when we shame ourselves for it, creating more misery for ourselves. And feeling ashamed on top of judge-mental is just one example. How about when we feel irritated, and then we add a nice layer of resentment on top of that? Feeling embarrassed?…why don’t...
67. MOTIVATION to do the HARD THINGS 02.11.2021 27:18
Hard things make us stronger. And we can’t get stronger if we don’t do hard things. Duh…right? Except that we have a brain will ALWAYS offer the “easy way out” since it’s sole purpose, left in default mode, is to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy. So, when we change a “hard” circumstance (or try to), we take our brain, and therefore our thoughts, with us to continue to repeat old patt...
66. Always ACCOUNTABLE 26.10.2021 32:11
Excuses never equal results. Humans are irresponsible by nature…we avoid accountability as a defense mechanism for shame, embarrassment, stress, anxiety, and the pain and negative consequences of mistakes. When we go to the anti-responsibility list we share in this episode and choose not to be accountable, we are diminishing not only who we are right now, but slowing the potential for the greatnes...
65. Cultivating COURAGE, COMPASSION, and CONNECTION 19.10.2021 25:27
On default, our brain will offer us fear and defensiveness when we think something has gone wrong, throwing us right into the shame/blame trap. Really it all comes down to pride vs. humility, and when you listen to this episode, you’ll have such a richer, deeper understanding of how to let your walls down, become vulnerable, and show up as your best self in love. You are brave and worthy of love a...
64. REALITY or THOUGHT? 12.10.2021 30:11
We think we’re just observing reality, but we’re not. We’re creating meaning out of our limited understanding, a reality that is filtered through what we think we already know. Why does this matter? If you have goals you’re trying to achieve or even just trying to feel better in your day-to-day life, this matters because it will change your experience and your results. What you’re believing is cre...
63. How to FIX the “Fixer Upper” in Your Life. 05.10.2021 21:48
Think you have a “fixer upper” in your life? Someone you are thinking is difficult or offensive? NEWS FLASH…everyone is a “fixer upper”, including YOU & ME! So, choosing to think others are the problem actually just creates misery for you…no one else, just you. It’s actually impossible for someone to offend you. It’s the thoughts you’re choosing to think about what was done or said that are creati...
62. Let’s talk about INDULGENCE! 28.09.2021 26:36
Do you ever find yourself saying “I don’t know,” “I’m overwhelmed,” or a personal favorite “I’m exhausted!”? You might be indulging…in emotion. Confusion, indecision, worry, exhaustion, overwhelm, annoyance, bored, busy; these are just a few of the indulgent emotions that could be draining your energy. Want to know how to STOP INDULGING and TAKE ACTION to get the results you want?!? Listen to this...
61. FOCUS! - Choosing the right lens for your best life. 21.09.2021 23:31
In this episode, we’ll offer you one of the most valuable tools to help you get through the day, and life. When we’re dealing with an emergency or crisis, the brain will automatically zoom in to focus on solving the immediate problem, which is a beautiful thing. But when the initial shock starts to wear off, the brain wants to zoom out and look at the big picture and offer you all of the things yo...
60. I NEED A HERO! 14.09.2021 24:52
Have you ever had the thought “My life is SO HARD!”? Then you’re in good company! In this episode, we’ll explore how “hard” is relative and self pity sneaks into our lives as we resist the hard. Follow me here…SATISFACTION & FULFILLMENT don’t come from doing easy things. And resisting HARD things just adds to the misery. So what if instead of being victim to the “hard” in your life, you were the H...
59. Limiting Beliefs…How to STOP Holding Yourself Back 07.09.2021 26:42
“People are difficult and/or selfish.” “Well, that was a waste of time/money.” “But I’ve never done it before.” “I’m overweight” or “I’m poor.” And my personal favorite…”My life is SO HARD!” I promise you that choosing thoughts like these are limiting you in more ways than you can even begin to imagine. These beliefs are holding you back from living your best life. So how do you stop limiting your...
58. WHY YOU MATTER 31.08.2021 27:09
You came to this world with all the worth and value you were ever going to have. So you are just as important today as you were the day you were born. Nothing you have done or will ever do will make you better or worse as a human. YOU MATTER just because you exist. Furthermore, being a mom or caregiver is JUST AS VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT as being the president of the United States. YOU MATTER! And w...
57. What’s the WORST That Could Happen? 24.08.2021 32:53
Truly…what’s the worst case scenario? We spend so much time trying to avoid potential negative outcomes that we don’t slow down long enough to remember that the worst thing that will ever actually happen to us is a negative emotion. So, when you stop resisting what could go wrong, you get leverage over it which allows you to make more well thought through decisions. So stop letting your brain run...
