Episode Description
We all agree that feeding our bodies with wholesome foods in vital for ourselves and our families. Don't our minds require intentional care and nourishment like our physical bodies do? Our minds, bodies, and souls are part of our whole being. Taking time to pause is more critical than ever but what does that really mean? How do our childhood experiences generate the Ingrained beliefs, patterns, and fear that hold us back from living our most joyful lives? What can we do to give our children a head start to avoid being blocked by fear? We can gain clarity to make intentional choices every day with intentionality. When we are in the most challenging times facing stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, what is a thought rescue plan? How can we have it ready to use when we need it most? Our guest shares why she sold a prospering business to take what resulted in a long self-realization sabbatical to becoming an international best-selling author, coach, and course/program creator that has changed thousands of lives.

My current mission is: To empower children by helping them discover the essential stepping stones they need to strengthen their emotional well-being. The vision is: To cultivate confidence, empathy, responsibility, and self-awareness in children, equipping them with the skills to regulate their emotions in a positive way. Our children deserve to be emotionally healthy as they grow through youth into adulthood. As adults, if we model these behaviors for our children and incorporate them into our own daily lives, imagine the synergy we can create! We have become accustomed to wait for symptoms before we seek help, both emotionally and physically. It's time to change our way of thinking from reactive to proactive. Let's learn what we need to now so kids growing up have skills and strategies to use for life, in this very challenging world.
