Making it real is the backbone of Cairn the Load. Annette and Mark Anderson have found that living in the moment doesn’t need to be looked at as a destination, but a journey. Sometimes the journey takes a few unexpected detours and unwanted turns. But when it comes right down to it, life is good. Reaction to life is a choice. While we can’t always control what happens to or around us, we can control the direction we choose to follow. Three important focus words for Annette and Mark are, Inspire, Grow, and Connect. Cairn the Load inspires through sharing. Being real means that we share and own our stories. Inspiration comes from not simply owning your story, but being an inspiration to others that travel a similar road. We grow by gaining clarity while accepting that life’s less than perfect moments can be defining moments of learning. We are never too old to learn, especially if learning encompasses positive change. We connect by recognizing that it's ok to hop on the bus with others who see themselves as less than perfect. Personal and transformative growth is a collaborative effort that comes from a village of those not only needing an occasional hand, but those who are willing to offer that hand after their own experiences. Married since 1984, Annette and Mark find joy in their life’s story. Sometimes difficult, sometimes unbelievable, always fulfilling. Join us as we experience the journey of a lifetime.
Dear Hope Seeker, Dr. Michelle Stephens shares her journey of love and loss, learning and hope with us on the Champions of Hope podcast. As a pediatric clinician, she was inspired to pursue pediatrics after her brother passed away from a congenital heart defect. She became aware of how early childhood stress affects adult health outcomes through her investigation and academic pursuits with her master's and doctoral degrees. Her motherhood journey has had its share of obstacles - she experienced miscarriages, c-sections, failed breastfeeding, postpartum depression, and suicidal ideation that awakened her to the personal challenges of parenthood. She is the cofounder and chief nursing officer of a startup digital healthcare platform, Oath Care. Dr. Stephens feels commissioned to build this company from her personal and professional experiences to help other parents overcome the challenges they face. On the Finding Me / Champions of Hope podcast, Dr. Stephens shares openly and honestly about her journey in the hopes that it will inspire others who are facing difficult challenges in their own lives.

In this episode of Trail Angels powered by Cairn the Load, Mark and Annette are going to talk about how you can overcome any addictive behavior through understanding and self-awareness.Addiction is a huge problem in our society today, and it seems like more and more people are struggling with different types of addictions every day. But there is hope. By understanding addiction and by being aware of your own behaviors, you can overcome any addictive habit or compulsion.One of the best ways to understand addiction is to take a closer look at yourself. Think about your own behaviors and what makes you feel good or bad. Do you crave certain foods, or are you prone to overindulge in food? Are you easily bored or do you struggle with keeping yourself occupied? By understanding how certain triggers make you feel, you can start to overcome your addictive behaviors.Another key component in overcoming addiction is self-awareness. Being aware of what makes you feel good or bad and then learning coping mechanisms that help you avoid those things that make you feel out of control can be very helpful. For example, if being bored triggers your addictive behavior, then try finding ways to stay occupied. This could mean joining a book club or volunteering in your community.At the end of the day, overcoming addiction is all about self-control and awareness. By understanding what makes you feel good and bad, and by finding ways to replace those unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones, you can go on to live a happier, more fulfilled life.If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please reach out for help. There are many resources available to you, and you don't have to go through this alone.

If there's one thing that stands in the way of people making changes in their lives, it's their thoughts. Our thoughts can be powerful barriers to change, but they can also be helpful tools for growth. In this episode, we'll explore how to overcome the #1 barrier: our thoughts. We'll look at some healthy thinking patterns that can help us make positive changes in our lives, and we'll learn how to use these patterns to our advantage.In this episode of Trail Angels powered by Cairn the Load, Mark and Annette will be discussing Healthy Thinking Patterns. We share some powerful tools that will be helpful to understand our true identity, our worth, and how worth is different than "worthiness." We discuss common inaccurate thinking patterns and "triggers," what they are and how we respond to them, and ultimately healthy thinking patterns and how we can change our thoughts to a healthier way of thinking. Grab a paper and pencil, and be prepared to join us as we learn how to create Healthy Thinking Patterns. Common Inaccurate Thinking PatternsAll or Nothing, Mislabeling, Jumping to Conclusions, Personalizing, Emotional Reasoning, Overgeneralization, Negative Mental Filter, Discounting the Positive, Magnification, "Should" Statements. At the core of every thought, you have a belief. Your beliefs determine your thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors. In other words, your beliefs are what shape your entire experience of reality.If you don't believe something is possible, you'll never be able to make it happen. If your beliefs limit your progress towards your goals, your life will always be stuck in a rut, and you'll never achieve your full potential.What makes your life better: your time, energy, or thoughts?It takes as much mental effort as positive thoughts as negative ones. If we want to change our lives for the better, we need to stop accepting our limiting beliefs just because they're comfortable. Sometimes your thoughts can help your efforts, but other times your thoughts will do nothing but reinforce your current situation.If you want to move forward in your life, you have to start thinking differently. You need to take control of your mind and take responsibility for your mental patterns.
If there's one thing that stands in the way of people making changes in their lives, it's their thoughts. Our thoughts can be powerful barriers to change, but they can also be helpful tools for growth. In this episode, we'll explore how to overcome the #1 barrier: our thoughts. We'll look at some healthy thinking patterns that can help us make positive changes in our lives, and we'll learn how to use these patterns to our advantage.In this episode of Trail Angels powered by Cairn the Load, Mark and Annette will be discussing Healthy Thinking Patterns. We share some powerful tools that will be helpful to understand our true identity, our worth, and how worth is different than "worthiness." We discuss common inaccurate thinking patterns and "triggers," what they are and how we respond to them, and ultimately healthy thinking patterns and how we can change our thoughts to a healthier way of thinking. Grab a paper and pencil, and be prepared to join us as we learn how to create Healthy Thinking Patterns. Common Inaccurate Thinking PatternsAll or Nothing, Mislabeling, Jumping to Conclusions, Personalizing, Emotional Reasoning, Overgeneralization, Negative Mental Filter, Discounting the Positive, Magnification, "Should" Statements. At the core of every thought, you have a belief. Your beliefs determine your thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors. In other words, your beliefs are what shape your entire experience of reality.If you don't believe something is possible, you'll never be able to make it happen. If your beliefs limit your progress towards your goals, your life will always be stuck in a rut, and you'll never achieve your full potential.What makes your life better: your time, energy, or thoughts?It takes as much mental effort as positive thoughts as negative ones. If we want to change our lives for the better, we need to stop accepting our limiting beliefs just because they're comfortable. Sometimes your thoughts can help your efforts, but other times your thoughts will do nothing but reinforce your current situation.If you want to move forward in your life, you have to start thinking differently. You need to take control of your mind and take responsibility for your mental patterns.
In this episode of Trail Angels powered by Cairn the Load Annette and Mark have an incredible conversation with Paul Henderson.Part of the reason Paul wrote Slave No More: Conquering the Master Within is because of the observed parallels between chattel slavery and an enslaved mindset. As a historian and a teacher, Paul continued to explore this fascinating concept, and the more he studied, the more convinced he became of the parallels.Both individuals are bound; only one is physically bound to his master/slave owner, and the other is bound to a thought process, past life circumstances, failure, etc.When we observe those who led the way in the fight for freedom, there was one clear and common trait: a strong, burning vision. That burning desire for freedom allowed them to go against all odds, overcome any adversity that could have been seen as a roadblock, and in the end, accomplish their goal: freedom.At the same time, the individuals Paul interviewed overcame an enslaved mindset and showed the exact same characteristics. They had a strong vision that allowed them to overcome obstacles and live a life beyond the limiting thoughts that once held them bound.We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Paul as he recounted the process of interviewing amazing individuals, learning from them, weaving their real stories through a fictional storyline, and coming to the decision that he would be a #SlaveNoMore. Paul made a decision to no longer be enslaved to limiting thoughts, and choose to overcome that master that held him bound.Mark and Annette have also chosen to live a life free from limits, and are having the time of their lives.We hope you enjoy this incredible conversation as much as we did!What's your story? Are You Ready To Be A #SlaveNoMore

In this episode, Mark & Annette have an open, vulnerable conversation with Julie Cluff. Julie has a story that honestly none of us want to own. As you listen to this episode, you will realize that you have the power within to build a beautiful life after loss. In 2007 Julie's two youngest children died in a car accident – her daughter Carrie was ten, and her son David was 8. Julie describes the first three years as absolute hell. She felt so fragile, and she knew that nothing in her life would ever be the same. She worked with a therapist to overcome my PTSD – caused by driving the car that rolled over and changed their lives forever. She fought every day to get up in the morning and try to make sense of her new reality. One of the first things Julie learned was not to judge or let anything anyone said affect her which helped me move forward in relationships...On the 3rd anniversary almost to the day, things changed. Julie started to feel more like she could cope. Her therapist proclaimed her DONE. She did not feel done. Yes, Julie was better but she didn't know where to start to truly rebuild my life.Julie realized that she had already experienced the worst thing that could happen, which created a weird mix of fear and courage inside her. Julie began building new experiences and creating a new identity. It was a relief when her friends and family could finally perceive her beyond the tragedy.In 2012 Julie had a profound experience that sent her on a search for even more answers. Julie knew she was being directed to help others who had experienced an overwhelming loss like I had, but how do I do that?Then one day, while listening to Brooke Castillo's podcast from The Life Coach School, Julie had an aha moment. She knew exactly what she meant when she described her lost feelings after therapy. And she explained that therapy looks back to work on diagnosed mental issues whereas coaching looks forward to inspire and create a life of goals and dreams.Julie Cluff is an intuitive grief coach and the founder of Build a Life After Loss, a company dedicated to helping those who are grieving navigate grief and personal healing.

If you're looking for a way to overcome the obstacles in your life, this is not just another self-help podcast. This is an invitation. Mark & Annette had an inspiring conversation with Dorsey Ross. Dorsey was born on January 16th, 1977, with a congenital disability known as Apert's Syndrome. When Dorsey was born, his forehead was pushed outward, his nose and mouth were pushed inward, and his fingers and toes were fused, meaning he had no individual movement of them. Doctors gave Dorsey's parents no hope for his survival and advised them to put him into an institution. His parents both knew and trusted in God, and they believed that God would do great things in Dorsey's life. Throughout his life, Dorsey has had to overcome a lot of obstacles, and trials, being bullied, called names like monster and freak, and undergone multiple operations.Teachers told Dorsey he would not make it in college, and with all odds against him, he entered Queens Borough Community College. After four years there, and after attaining an associate degree, he entered the University of Valley Forge. After years of hard work and perseverance, he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Youth Ministry. His life saying is, “can't is not in my vocabulary” because, for most of his life, he has never used the word can't. He believes that with God, all things are possible and that he can do all things through Christ who gives him strength. It's with God's help he is overcoming life's obstacles.Reach out to Dorsey and order your signed copy of Overcomer, understanding God's plan against all odds. What defines you? What do you stand for? If your answer is "I don't know", then it's time to find out! And I believe that once we understand what God has called us to be and do, our lives will never be the same again. So let me ask: Who are YOU going to be today?
