I'd like to share a very recent story that most definitely has made me stronger, as the most painful ones typically do. I wasn't going to publish a podcast this week as it's coming off a holiday however I must share as it's weighing heavily on my mind. My partner was verbally assaulted in the grocery store on Thanksgiving day. She had run out to get us coffee and whip cream for our pie. we'd overl...

I'd like to discuss embracing the concept of disconnecting to Connect and Prioritizing Quality Connections by Doing Less. Now if you know me you know that this is a personal challenge as I am always looking to be online, building schedules, creating to do list and keeping active and busy. But as we are quickly approaching the HOLIDAY SEASON with Thanksgiving approaching and soon after Christmas an...

I'd like to discuss our words, how we use them, what we think they say and what they might be saying to others. Words hold so much power and have an incredible impact on our lives. They shape our thoughts, emotions, and relationships. However, what we think we are saying may not always convey the same meaning to others. Today I want to explore the profound influence of words, the importance of kin...

Things that make YOU and things that make YOU STRONGER. Let me be clear, you can FEEL broken, but you can never BE broken. We are the best versions of ourselves, and no one can be us better than us, right? Let’s hold that as fact for this discussion. I was raised to Rise up, above all the teasing and taunting through middle school, all the struggles I felt I was having personally during high schoo...

I'd like to talk about Relationships. All of our relationships. Those we have with our close friends and families to those that we made in high school and college and those we are now making online and on social media. My relationships mean something, every single one of them ties me to an experience, a time in my life, something that built me up or made me stronger for having met that person or b...

A stigma by definition is a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality or person. I grew up in an environment that to feel overwhelmed, to be anxious or not yourself meant you were “crazy” and weak. That you should be a strong enough person to overcome, to push through it and to just bottle it up and push it down deep inside of you. (sounds healthy, right) It was also a sh...

Storytelling draws people in. They want to know, learn, and hear more. They become invested in your story, in you, people are inquisitive. The question becomes what and how much do I share. It's a personal preference as I am authentic and transparent to a flaw and tend to overshare in my honest opinions. But to know my story is to know me me. All the chapters. And a great storyteller makes you fee...

We start from the beginning and to me that means being born and raised as a farmer's daughter. You can take the girl away from the farm but you can't take the farm out of the girl. Raised to be tough, have a ‘never give up’ attitude, always pushing myself until I had nothing left and then push a little harder. And because I was the only daughter and in the middle of two brothers, it was a driving...
