Hello all and welcome to episode 61! Thank you for tuning in today!  Have you ever worked incredibly hard towards a goal and or outcome, only to have it go sideways or not pan out the way that you had planned and or envisioned? In all honesty, how easily did self doubt, fear and or inadequacy creep up? Probably light speed! It makes it so easy to give up on ourselves in those moments however it is crucial in those times that we look to where we started and celebrate how far we have come!!! Winning doesn't always mean being first. Winning means you're doing netter than you've done before - Bonnie Blair Although I do not typically I do not post on the weekends, I am putting up more origin story and am going to plan the first segment tomorrow. I did recorded the story in one go, however it is painfully long! I love the time that we spend together and want to ensure you guys are happy! I will post the rest of my origin story on Monay! 

Welcome everyone to episode 60!  Have you ever hears the saying "Whatever we do we do for a feeling"? That's what the focus of today's podcast is. It inspired me because it fits SO incredibly well with excessive behaviours. Typically we end up caught in a pattern of excessive behaviour either trying to recapture and or discover a feeling and or to numb out feelings.   It is amazing what we will do for a feeling! I know for myself, I lived in a cycle of insanity for a long long time. I was hopeful that what I was doing would gain me different results... that somehow things would just be different. It turns out, that approach wasn't working for me and I was the last to find out!  Looking at the vehicles that we use to feel something is a good start to assess whether or not we are heading in an effective direction or whether we are driving ourselves into a place where we don't necessarily want to be.

Hello everyone and good morning! How are you doing today? I hope fabulous! The sun us shining here - FINALLY - and I am SO incredibly grateful!  Welcome to episode 59!! Today I am focusing on the importance of knowledge as it truly is the key to growth! Think back to when you were a child and began learning say the alphabet. It starts out simply being able to identify letters and then learning their sounds. From that, you learn how to identify words, write your name, read and then construct sentences, perhaps write poetry, convey your thoughts and feelings through words. The same process applies to life. The more knowledge that we can obtain in regards to skills and tools, the more that we can not only learn, but the more that we can grow. The more that we can then strive to higher levels, larger goals and a better quality of life! Learning is a process that takes time and patience however as with anything else, if we remain diligent and consistent, we will be amazed at the results that we can obtain and

Hello everyone and welcome back! I hope that you all had a great weekend!, It was a long weekend here and we made the most of it despite the delayed warm weather that we are having. Thank you all for tuning in to today's episode! I was inspired today by a quote by Tony Robbins and it is "A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you truly haven't decided." How true is that?! I know for myself that procrastination, fear and a lack of belief in my self and my abilities lead me to not follow through on so many things, while simultaneously finding reasons "why" it didn't work out the way that I had hoped and or planned. Bottom line, I was justifying my lack of commitment to these decisions and when I look back now, I see the potential of where I could have been and what I could have accomplished. Being able to utilize a new found perspective now means that I can move past those whys and start to produce results in my life! It's incredible what happens when you h

Good morning all and happy Friday! Thank you SO much for tuning in today and I hope that your day is off to an incredible start! I was going to post my origin story today but ultimately decided that I wanted to put a little more time into it, so I will be posting it next week. Today I wanted to talk about the impact of our speech on the outcome of things in our lives. I know that sometimes things like that come off sounding hokey, but TRUST ME when I say, it has a HUGE effect on the outcome of situations as well as on our mindset, drive and overall success! With that, I hope that you enjoy today's podcast and that you have an incredible day and weekend! I look forward to connecting with you all on Monday! Take care and all the best! 

Hey everyone and welcome to today's episode where we are talking about stunted growth.  This was something that was important for me to talk about as it was very prevalent in my growth and transitions.  What I came to discover with my addiction was that most of my strategies and coping mechanisms were stunted to a time in my life where my addiction really started to form. With that, although they would have served me well at that stage in my life, they were no longer serving my however I was in the dark about that. I could not figure out for the life of me, why I struggled so much on life, felt so much resistance and could not just deem to get with the program so to speak.  Looking back now I understand that I was stunted emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Once I became aware of this, I ws able to start tapping into resources that allowed me the opportunity to learn and grow so that I could approach life, in all aspects, with a new perspective and fresh tools that allowed me to really start to build and c

Happy Wednesday and welcome to episode 55!  Today I wanted talk about just how far we are willing to go to create change, get motivated, get fired up and to get where we want! I truly believe that  you are capable of ANYTHING!! Seriously though! I truly do! When I was growing up my Father would tell me 'anything worth having requires effort". I know that to be very true from first hand life experience, as I am sure many do.  Once ignorance is no longer bliss as we have seen the light so to speak, it becomes very difficult not to jump to the next level for we have entered a new stage of consciousness and awareness. THAT is where the determination starts! It is at this time that we NEED to start seeking out fuel to keep our inner fire burning! We NEED to start seeking out tools that are going to help us propel forward and seek out people that are going to encourage our journey and provide us with new insights and methods! So I ask you, what are YOU willing to do for YOU? How far are YOU willing t

Hello everyone and welcome to today's episode where I wanted to talk about the truth of what existed underneath the mask that I wore for so long during the throws of my addiction.  I worked incredibly hard to put on a pretty mask so that the world would not be able to see the real me and what fuelled me every day... sadness, anger, insecurity, guilt, self pity, self loathing, FEAR, uncertainty and so on.... all great things right?! The fact of the matter was that all my efforts were for not as people could still see the real me and the fact that I was struggling was evident.  When I was ready to get sober up and face the truth of myself and my life, I was truly terrified! I can tell you though that it was incredibly liberating to let the layers that I had built up over the years fall away, It was such a sense of relief and I would do it all over again however I hope that I will never have to.

Happy Monday guys! I hope the weekend was awesome and that the week is off to a great start for everyone! Thank you so much for tuning in to episode 53! Today is a short and simple one. YOU have dreams. YOU have goals. YOU have a desired quality of life. DO NOT allow someone else to rob you of that! Set your barriers and keep them strong!

Good morning and welcome to episode 52! Today's topic is emulation. This is a big one for it is one of the best ways for us to ensure speedy progress and also lessen the pitfalls that we may encounter along the way. By looking to those who have achieved the same goals that we wish to hit, we can then utilize their journey as a road map so to speak. This helps us maintain direction that is not only proven to work, but it also saves us time and energy by being able to avoid spending time and energy on the things and areas that will not end up working. As great as emulation is, it is imperative to always remain yourself as well! People around you are drawn to you because of your uniqueness so don't forget to always be transparent and to always still be true to yourself as you strive forward. Thank you all for tuning in and I hope that you have an awesome weekend! To those that are celebrating it this weekend, Happy Mother's Day! 

Hello and welcome to episode 51! Today's topic is: Don't Share YOUR Big Dreams With Small Minded People! When we have a dream, it is imperative to nurture it in every way that we can and a HUGE part of bringing our dreams to life, is surrounding ourselves with people who are going to see our vision and support us in our quest! There are those in our lives that we assume will support us no matter what, however, if you haven't already, you may find that some of these people in our lives are some of the quickest to attempt to axe our goals. It isn't because they don't care for us, rather it is due to their own limiting beliefs.  Unfortunately they become dream killers and what we need is dream catchers! Your dreams and goals are important and they matter so be mindful of who you choose to share them with! Hav an awesome day everyoe and thank you for allowing me to spend some time with you today! 

Hello and welcome back for episode 50!!!! Today's topic is: Change IS as EASY as making a decision! I am sure that there are some... perhaps many, that would beg to differ! The simple truth is that it is honestly that easy! Once we make the decision, we are FINALLY able to start moving in a forward direction and gain momentum which will allow us to see the change through! Think about it! Have you say ever considered leaving a job for a different or better opportunity but were faced with some uncertainty on whether to do so or how to take action? Or perhaps you struggled with the idea of leaving a relationship? Then... you made the decision! In that moment, you feel SO incredibly certain! You know, that despite the emotions attached to the situation, that you have made the right choice and move forward by taking action! It is the same with any kind of change we want to inflict in our lives! It is as simple as making the choice... making a decision! Thank you as always for tuning in and I hope that you have a

Hello everyone and thanks for tuning in to episode 49!  Our past is a funny thing and can serve us OR hinder us, depending on how we want to look at it and utilize it.  I don't know about you but my past was full of fears, anxieties, failures, limiting beliefs and so on. ALL the good stuff!! Based on my past experiences I was too afraid to step out of my comfort zone to try something new... anything new. I truly believed that I had been dealt my lot in life and not only was I incapable of changing it, I didn't deserve any different. My past was my prison. It was the lock that held me in place. Never growing. Never hopeful enough to try and for the longest time, blinded to the possibility of change in any way.  FINALLY, there came a time where I broke. I was absolutely shattered. This was great! I know that may sound crazy but in all honesty, it threw me into a state of surrender, which in turn, allowed me to become teachable. It allowed me to become open minded. It was a moment where the opport

Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you all had a great weekend! Welcome to episode 48! Today I wanted to talk about fact vs fiction when it comes to our emotions and the facts of our situation.  Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you are feeling anxious and or overwhelmed over a situation or scenario that has not actually come to fruition? I know that I have! Every single time I have come to realize that the situation (my reality) did not match my emotions. At the end of the day it became a battle between a runaway emotional train and thoughts.  Our minds and emotions are so powerful that they can literally take over and create an alternate reality of sorts and that's where it is imperative to be able to hit the pause button and assess whether or not we are feeling is the truth! Otherwise we can end up trapped in a cycle of thoughts that are creating negative outcomes in our lives over situations that are in fact, made up. What is really going on is fear is finding a way to creep into

Happy Friday everyone! Thank you for tuning in for episode 47! Today I wanted to talk a bit about self perception and how it affects how we are perceived in the world. Some of us are excellent at putting on a mask when we are out in the world. So much so that people end up being intensely shocked when they eventually come to know who we really are. Rarely though are we able to keep up our facade forever though. Eventually cracks start to appear and our true selves begin to ooze out into the light. The point that I am trying to make is that regardless of who we want others to believe that we are or who we want to be, the way that we truly see ourselves and the truth of how we feel about ourselves, will ALWAYS determine our lot in life and ultimately who we really are shows through to the world, despite our best efforts.  With that, if we are willing to become open minded and honest, we can start to take steps towards change and if we are willing to change our beliefs, then I PROMISE, we are then able to 1
