Episode Description
What are you passionate about? How could you bring more of that into everything you do? That’s what we will be exploring in Merge Your Passions and Dream Big: It Could Transform Lives! I can’t wait for you to meet Dr. Jen Mott. She is living that out in everything she does. Dr. Jen is an educator, entertainer, and motivator extraordinaire. And when I say entertainer, I mean juggler, stilt walker, balloon artist, and fire performer with the Cincinnati Circus since 2006, yes, for the past 18 years. During that time, she graduated with her undergraduate degree in Secondary Education and completed her Master’s program in Curriculum & Instruction from the University of Cincinnati. In 2020, Jen earned her doctorate in Leadership Studies at Xavier University and serves as an Instructor there for the Educational Administration program . . . AND wait for it, she is also an administrator in a middle school. I wonder what it’s like to be sent to the principal’s office at her school! Who would’ve thought Dr. Jen could merge her passion for entertaining, with her career in education, as well as an author and keynote speaker? In this episode, you’ll discover they all have more in common than you might think. Here are some challenges and opportunities Dr. Jen and I are gonna explore . . . How you can merge what you’re passionate . . . what you love to do with what you do professionally, even if it’s never occurred to you. How figuring that out could result in more FUN and add more depth to what you’re already doing. Also, how what you’re passionate about could spark new possibilities that would shift the way you’re thinking about what else is possible in your life . . . and how it could be lifechanging for others on your path. We’ll share some examples of how you can take what you’re passionate about and turn it into a metaphor that would turn what seems unlikely or impossible into the possible. We’ll take a look at what tends to get in the way and how to get past it, so you don’t find yourself looking back wondering what else would have been possible if you had gone for it. I hope you’ll join us for a lively conversation.
Make Magic Happen!
Tuesdays at 7 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel
Ready to make a significant shift in your life? Kat believes that when "SHIFT HAPPENS," you can "MAKE MAGIC HAPPEN!" An inspiring shift can be magical when you allow yourself to pursue the life you really want, unapologetically. It opens a world of new possibilities. But wait. Does what you want feel impossible? What if "impossible" is just a story we tell ourselves? When doubt creeps in, it's time to give yourself permission to say, "Hell, YES!" to that thing that's stuck in your imagination, for fear it won't work or others will think you're crazy. It's never too late to make a shift, no matter what stage of life you are in. Yes, shifts can be disruptive. But what if disruption, and what you see as real and imagined constraints are key to a new life beyond what you think is possible? Kat and her guests provide hope, inspiration, reassurance, and encouragement. Their strategies and practical tools will help you on your transformational journey from "impossible" to "possible."
