This podcast is an open and honest discussion celebrating the stages of life. What have you noticed as you have redesigned your life? Come along for an awakening conversation into the transition that women often face as they enter their 50's and beyond. We introduce this topic in deep collaboration with our first special guest, Holistic Life Coach Susan Young who has recently concluded personal research into the lifetime of selflessness that many women naturally experience. Beyond middle age, have you noticed a shift in how YOU might now be the priority in your life? While highlighting the remarkable achievements that women over 50 in various fields and over numerous decades have accomplished, there is also the question of our legacy. Is there restlessness over what we have yet to achieve? While exploring mortality we discuss physical, mental, and emotional well-being strategies, including the all-important awareness of the power of our minds and the human evolution in desiring something more meaningful in life without resentment. This triad reveals a conversation about the future through providing personalized advice and solutions to common concerns. You do not have to identify as female to share in this fulfilling conversation. All unique, all individual; we are all not alone in common thoughts and experiences. At any point in time within our life there is always someone else near who understands, who notices similarities of experience, and is also within this pursuit that we humans call life. “Your legacy is every life you've touched.” ~ Pema Chodron Our sincere gratitude is expressed to our first guest… Holistic Life Coach, Susan Young for her extreme knowledge of this topic, her genuine contribution and her time.

“Have you noticed how your grief is often surrounded in Guilt?” Today's podcast is an honest discussion on experiencing loss and the natural, normal response of losing someone or something significant in our lives. Yet why do we often ignore the guilt? In this episode we acknowledge and share the encouragement felt when little miracles are brought into our awareness. Our exchange twists into the stages of grief and we ponder the “why not's?” We discuss the distinct emotional experiences we each live through, how intertwined our sense of responsibility or regret can feel when we lose something or someone. Often feeling left behind, and even responsible for the loss, we might avoid these emotions without support from others and without looking within at our own inner contemplation. Reflective questions: What is essential for healing and forward growth during deep times of grief? How can we open our eyes to the process and begin to really notice what we are going through? Let's be real… some of us experience divine miraculous gifts from that which is gone. We hope that you walk away from listening to this Podcast discussion thinking that… just because we cannot explain what we're feeling, seeing, or experiencing… does not mean that it is not real. We would love to hear from you. #griefisreal #process #divine #legacy #experiences #guilt #podcast If you are interested in connecting or want to be a guest on our Podcast, Contact Jess at: jessica@livinvision.net and/or Mary at: mary@maryamarkham.com Until next time...

Her beautiful journey gives us HOPE, we are a work in progress and sometimes grace is unknown. Big takeaways from the Episode: “Control is an illusion; the only thing we have control over is the choices we make.” “Let your Faith be bigger than your fear.” Overcome fear through Prayer. Shelley feels clear in thought and word when connected to God's energy. Going back and doing the work on shame. Radically accepting I am good enough, I am not less than. Changing the narrative in my thoughts. Making amends with some people in my life. I wrote letters, had conversations, and found forgiveness for the situation and within myself. Her Legacy is to be thought of as a woman who embraced her vulnerabilities and shared them with the world to strengthen a community of humans who also co-exist with substance abuse, chronic health, and mental health challenges. Shelley wants to be known for her pride in her relationship with her faith. Shelley wants to be known for integrity as it relates to her attributes: good decision-making, loyalty, helping others, generating trust, respect, and inclusivity.. She has grown to stand in her truth and align with people, projects, and relationships that empower growth. She also wants to be known for being a work in progress.

For nearly two decades, Dr. Tim Fortescue has been involved in ministry leadership in the church, community, and seminary settings. During this time, he has been impacted by life/spiritual coaches and mentors who have helped make life better. The impact others have had on him has helped him to be able to coach and mentor other leaders and people of faith. Some of the realities of growing up in Appalachia in a working-class family delayed him from realizing his full potential and knowing that he is a beloved child of God until later in my life. Because of what he's learned, Tim gets excited about coaching and the impact that he can have on others as he helps them realize their full potential and "belovedness." As Tim continues to learn and grow, he wants to help others to do the same. Tim is a professionally trained and experienced coach and also holds a Doctorate in Ministry Leadership. You can find out more about Tim and his coaching practice at www.faithfullygrowing.com Don't forget to contact Dr. Tim Fortescue about the “BEING THE BELOVED” 3 Hour virtual mini Retreat scheduled for October 22nd and to learn more about his Friday Parts Mapping Group.

It's a new SEASON. A season of change and new goodbyes never being easy. September is a time for change for everyone preparing to go from summer to fall, kids starting preschool, elementary, middle or high school, and young adults going off to college as their parents become empty nesters. It's a time of change and a different goodbye for everyone. These goodbyes never get easier and they definitely do not have a one size fits all mindset. Today's guest, Jessica Hartwig, an Empowerment Life & Mindset Coach, will share her new goodbye, as she shares her raw, real conversation as her daughter leaves for college. She shares the preparation she took years in advance as well as weeks prior to her daughter leaving. This is a time when so many parents are saying goodbye in different ways. One may feel like it's no big deal, just another routine or phase in life, while another may be lost, broken, confused or even frustrated. Their daily routines have changed and they may not know which direction to take. Listen as we have a raw, real, and authentic conversation about our experiences as parents and how the new goodbyes are different for anyone at any age.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ― Marianne Williamsom It's all about BALANCE Pain is an output Pick a Physical Therapist who really works for you Contact info: Email: hannah@betterwithphyx.com IG: @dr_hannah.dpt and @phyxpt FB: @drhannah.dpt and @phyxPT Phyx: www.betterwithphyx.com https://www.betterwithphyx.com/choose-pt-waukesha-county Please remember to SUBSCRIBE today and tell your friends about this inspiring conversation.

What a difference WE could make TOGETHER if we were to go back to the basics of the simple key elements of saying, "Please and Thank You." Do you remember when you were young and your parents or guardian would say, “What do you say?” And your response was, “Please” or “Thank you!” I was taught to always say please, thank you and to be kind. If we looked hard enough, we would definitely see kindness all around the world. However, unfortunately we would also see the opposite. I've witnessed lately the lack of respect, those kind words or even respecting someone when they are talking. Interrupt When my children were growing up, I taught them to put their hand on my elbow, which would indicate to me while I was talking to someone else, that they had something important to share, but they knew they couldn't interrupt me unless someone was hurt. It sounds so easy, or even trivial, but it was something that worked for us and showed everyone respect. We are in a world where I see people who NEED to be heard NOW; to NEED to get the results they want NOW; who NEED to understand the why NOW; and who NEED to know the process NOW. Sometimes we just don't NEED to know right now. Sometimes the best results happen to us when we are patient and enjoy the unfolding, and/or the process. Remember the key elements of respect, kindness, love and patience can change everything and anyone. If we could teach each other through our own words and actions that it doesn't cost any amount of money to say please, thank you, and BE KIND, share kindness, then what a beautiful world we would live in. Connect with me if you're struggling with the basics, trying to find ways to be heard, valued or respected. It's time for us to stand up, get back to the basics and say PLEASE, THANK YOU, BE KIND, RESPECTFUL, LOVING, CARING and COMPASSIONATE and TOGETHER we can make this world a better place.

Brenda E. Cortez is a living kidney donor to another mom, which is what inspired her to write her first children's book. She is the creator of Howl the Owl© (plush owl and book series) and his special message of Help Others With Love. Brenda's experiences have sparked her passion to make a difference in the world through her books, including her latest non-fiction book, "Voices-19", and now the stories she helps others bring to life. Today's guests, Brenda Cortez and Gina Sirico, give a voice to those we lost to Covid-19. Their legacies will live on forever by their stories that are told. In this beautiful book, 19 grieving families celebrate their loved ones' lives by sharing their stories. Voices-19:Their Legacies Live On was written to celebrate the lives of those lost to COVID-19. Those lost to this virus are not just a number or a statistic. They are our mothers and fathers, our sisters and brothers,our aunts and uncles, our grandparents, cousins, friends and even our children. It's time to humanize the numbers that you see on the news daily. Covid is real. Ask anyone of these families left behind to grieve. These beautiful souls made a difference to the world and impacted many lives, perhaps even your life. Everyone in the world has been affected by the pandemic but for almost 1 million families in the USA alone, their lives will never be the same, and no one will ever be back to “normal”. Together we can be the empathy and compassion for those families left behind experiencing PTSD and Prolonged Grief Disorder. So many were unable to say goodbye or to be with their loved ones as they took their last breath, due to Covid restrictions, while others had no funeral services or were able to witness their loved one's burial. This grief is like no other. It is my hope that this episode educates, inspires and changes your perspective to understand those that were lost to Covid-19, were not just a number, they were human beings, who have made a difference, touched our lives and are still loved and missed today. Please say their names with me! Please join us today to hear stories of bravery, hope and inspiration. To learn more about these families or to contact one or all of them, please contact Brenda E.

Today's guest, Kat Hitzeman is a Coach and a leader in prophetic art, healing art and ministry. Along with her work as a professional artist in bronze casting, painting and photography, she leads prophetic art workshops, and women's retreats. Kat is an ordained pastor and an incredible GIFT of an 'Open Vision'. As Kat continued to heal herself, God revealed through an "Open Vision" how to create "Beauty for Ashes" from her own ashes to beauty, while helping other women. She took a leap of faith, is blessed every time she takes a step, as God continues to work in and through her. Her incredibly beautiful artwork and coaching allows her to help others through retreats and art workshops. Kat's main focus with coaching is coaching artists to help them navigate being an artist, what that looks like for them; if they want to go pro, or if they are feeling stuck. A lot of artists get really, really stuck, and she loves helping them get unstuck. Another main focus for Kat, with coaching, is with women that are in transition. When they're at the point in their life, and wondering, "What's next?" and they have done all this, or done all of that, they are transitioning. She describes it as them being in a hallway, and sometimes that hallway can be a really dark place. And so she helps them get to the end of the hall or get to the doors that need to be opened. Takeaways: It's not an overnight thing, it's a PROCESS! Art has the POWER to Heal! Enjoy the Journey! Just take a STEP! Stay PRESENT! Don't partner with comparison. Mantra: Every time I take a step I get blessed. Niche: Artists/Women in transition & searching for their truest most authentic self.

Ever wonder what the big deal about I AM Statements are? Before “I AM” Statements were a “thing” all over social media, I AM Statements were drilled into Mary's head by her mother, who passed away 14 years ago from Pancreatic Cancer, however she still remembers those days, like it was yesterday. Mary didn't realize how low her self esteem was back then. For years, she had such low self esteem issues she couldn't see anything beautiful or worthy when she looked in the mirror. Does that sound familiar to you? Her mother would write down "I AM Statements " on a piece of paper, and tell her to read them over and over every day. Not just read them, but BELIEVE them! “I am Beautiful, I am Holy, I am Loved, I am worthy, I am smart, I am good enough” Mary insisted she couldn't say them because she didn't believe them. She thought each one of those statements were lies. And, believed those lies for years.

Today's guest Brandon Wetzstein has a passion for unlocking the innovation and creative potential in others. Listen to Brandon's secret behind the HOW and WHY his is so important to him. Brandon is an insanely curious and positive person. He tends to be overly optimistic, amazingly curious and looks for the silver lining in things and loves learning new things. Being that optimistic, curious and positive person, Brandon looks deeper to find ways to improve, save time and be efficient, especially in the workplace. Brandon uses Design Thinking and Lego Serious Play. These powerful methodologies build deeper connections, stronger relationships and teams faster by having the right environment, tools and method where people can learn how to get out of their own way, out of their comfort zone and into their own innovative and creative side. Just like five year olds, ask a lot of “WHY” questions and it'll dig deeper into getting to know someone. One of Brandon's favorite quotes is by Plato, “You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than a year of conversation.” Reach out to Brandon and begin 2022 by learning how to find yourself, learn how to work together as a team and create a positive, innovative and successful workplace. Not sure where you want to be in 2 or 5 years, allow Brandon to help you figure out, through this methodology and his love for strategy, as to what the most efficient way to get there is. Takeaways: Define your identity (Who are you?) What are the most important values that are foundational? HAVE FUN and introduce a level of “Play” into your environment and learn more about yourself and others. Communication is the foundation to building a business and relationships.

It's that time of the year when we all have different perspectives on many topics and lately there have been many questions and diverse reactions that lead me to being called to do a Podcast on Perspective. Many people get excited about the holidays, the planning, the get-togethers, decorations and so on. Yet, it isn't the same for everyone. There are many people who are suffering from loss, loneliness or illness and they would rather hide than celebrate the holidays, especially with happy people. Their internal sadness is so deep they don't know how to feel right now. Have you ever gone to the store, excited about what's going on in your own life? when some stranger snaps at you, it either makes you stop and think to yourself, “What the heck is their problem?” or your empathy and compassion kick in and you realize they must be suffering something internally because you know you didn't do anything wrong. It just so happened that your unexpected light was trying to shine into their darkness. It's all in perspective. Not everyone is ready for that light because they are still processing. Maybe the holidays in general are a constant reminder of something that happened from your past and you're struggling to be around happy people. Maybe you're that person who looks at someone in that big beautifully decorated house and thinks they have it all, and don't have a clue what suffering feels like. They just might be suffering the same, they just hide it differently by filling up their time and space with “stuff”, decorations, parties, etc. Maybe you're that person who sees that homeless person and thinks, “Just go get a job and stop begging!” But, you don't know their story; they may have lost their job, their family and all their belongings and don't have the guidance of knowing what to do. Maybe the fear of asking for help dug that rabbit hole a little deeper? It's all in perspective. Maybe this is your first year being separated or divorced and you don't get to see your child(ren) on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day like you have for years? Maybe you're dealing with sharing your child(ren) with another person because of the separation or divorce and it's hard? Understanding the perspective that everyone grieves differently, deals with loss, separation, and change differently. There isn't a right or wrong way, it just takes time. It's all in perspective. How we see things is our own perspective. When we judge someone, their life and their emotions, we are not seeing the situation through their eyes, only our perspective. Have you ever thought about what a positive perspective with Hope, Faith, and love might look or feel like? Every job is important. No matter what you do. If you are the CEO or manager of a company, don't forget to thank the people who have helped you become where you are. Everyone works together. When you look at others through their perspective, you just might see a different side which may make you smile and feel joy in your heart. If you're a stay at home mom, don't underestimate your position by saying, “I'm just a stay at home mom.” That is a huge responsibility in itself and can be harder than most 9 to 5 jobs. Be grateful and thankful for every gift you are given. It's all in perspective. Look for the Hope through those experiences; have faith you will get through it all and love everyone from your heart, even if you have to pray for those difficult to love. It's all in Perspective.

Today's guest is an amazing woman who embraces diversity. Beverly Sartain was the first born American in her family and had two immigrant parents and English was their second language. Beverly has truly transcended her life. She has gone from her own recovery, to being a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor to being the President of the Holistic Coach Training Institute, where she trains aspiring coaches on coaching skills and business set-up. The Holistic Coach Certification Program is an ICF ACSTH accredited program focusing on a holistic approach to coaching. Beverly has her PCC (Professional Certified Coach) from the ICF (International Coaching Federation) and enjoys helping professionals empower themselves around their skill set and online coaching business. IT'S A JOURNEY NOT AN EVENT Creating a healthy routine, being structured, and being consistent are key to having a healthy mind. Beverly suggests that you set yourself up for success by doing one thing in each of the four levels every single day. The four levels are: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual. Keep it SIMPLE! For example for the Mental level, do anything that supports you, your thought process and supports you mentally, like journaling affirmations or positive statements. Because Beverly didn't have those accessible inside herself, when she first started, she needed to hear other people's affirmations and words, so that she could start to feel into those words and receive those words. Then she was able to find her own words that she could say. Another option is meditation, or just being able to be in the stillness of silence more. It's not even that you have to meditate per se, but learning to be with your own thoughts and not attached to them as the truth. It's a process. Learn skills or learn the tools that work best for you. It is not a one for all method. Bev is just like everybody else, she is on the same playing field as everyone, and states, “If I can do it, anyone can do it.” "Figure out what works best for you." When people start a recovery healing journey, stuff comes up and is uncomfortable. It's going to be uncomfortable. But the point is to learn how to be with what's coming up. Have the learnings that are needed, and move through it. Getting to the other side of the learnings is where the magic happened for Bev. It's because she moved through all of the past stuff and learned what she needed to learn, and receive, so she could free up her mind and free up her body and free up her spirit. Life happens and humanness happens, and people don't know how to navigate through those experiences and actually take the learnings and the soul lessons from the humanness in order to leverage their spiritual being.

This episode is me sharing how I took a leap of FAITH many times throughout my life and although at times it may have seemed scary and wondered initially what the heck I was doing, I knew, because of my FAITH, that everything would turn out okay. The benefits of having faith: Waking up grateful Grateful for the air you breathe and everything and everyone in your life Being grateful for the changing of the seasons and the joy nature brings Forgiveness is healing Strength to have difficult conversations Acceptance of everyone without judgment Knowing you are where you are meant to be Being present Loving yourself and those who may be difficult to love Finding joy in everything Being happy for others Creating healthy boundaries Being YOU Feeling valued Feeling Loved Love what you do Having a positive mindset Having patience Trusting the process Having HOPE Also, Faith is a choice. You can believe there is hope or go back to being comfortable, doing what you want when you want and hope for the best. The stronger you become in your faith the more you will notice the enemy will try to pull you away. Challenges and struggles may pull you away but your faith is stronger and you will overcome it stronger than ever before. Have you ever said, “WHY ME?” “WHY must I GO THROUGH THIS?” Many times throughout my life I would say those same things, “Why me?” “Why do I have to go through this again and again?” At the time the struggle or challenge seemed too great. Life may feel unfair, people hurt you and of course you don't deserve it. This is an opportunity to grow in grace, focus on your faith and All the countless blessings you have been given. A time to turn away from the pain and embrace the joy in your life. As you focus on faith, have hope, you begin to see the WHY or the transformation within. At times the answers aren't always easy to understand, or coming forward at the time that you want or expect. It's because it's a process. There is a time for everything. A PROFOUND Read is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace… Faith allows you to see and understand each season you go through. I challenge you to have faith, or stretch your faith and trust God and the process by taking a road less traveled, open your heart to a new experience and enjoy the unfolding as your life evolves into YOU becoming the best version of yourself. REMEMBER: FEAR is the opposite of FAITH How would you like to live...in Fear? or in peace by having FAITH? Contact me and let go from Fear to have FAITH so you can take that LEAP OF FAITH and be the best version of yourself!

Have you ever thought how one personal decision made early on in life, would have the biggest impact later on in your professional life? Today's guest, Jessica Hartwig, has a heart of gold and her genuine care for others shines through her “LIV IN VISION” business as a Holistic Concierge Life Coach. Listen to how Liv In vision serves others and how her “foster adopted” story began and changed her life forever! Adoption took on a whole new meaning for Jessica. What began as a decision, a well thought out process, research, communication and a decision to move forward with love, Jessica and her husband adopted through foster care, their daughter who they met when she was four days old, and brought home this six day old, precious 4 lbs 7 oz gift. When her daughter was nine years old and Jessica was complaining about something she had to do with her job, she said, “You know Mom, why don't you work in adoptions and help other kids like you help me?” That was the seed that needed to be planted and her research turned into a new job at a nonprofit organization called The Adoption Exchange, which later became Raised the Future. Jessica's love for helping others continued as a Holistic Concierge Life Coach and started a new life coaching business called “Liv In Vision” serving potential and current parents of biological, adoptive, foster, kinship children/youth and teens, as well as diverse adults. It is Jessica's genuine care for others that shines through her personal and professional life. Just to name a few, her love for Mantras keep her going: “Focus on what you desire and not what you fear.” “When you marry intention with action, miracles happen.” Her very best friend said that the things she dabbles in are stones. They are stones that built you and grew you into this piece of beauty that you are. Do what is right for you to start your day. For Jessica is basically moving her body, putting incense in or essential oils in her diffuser, turning on a light she loves, making sure she eats the foods that are best for her body, using lotions she loves, writing and practicing her daily rituals. TAKEAWAYS: Focus on what you desire and not what you fear When you marry intention with action, miracles happen Have “Adventure Days” (get away from normal routines and all the digital stuff) You're not given a dream that you can't achieve.

Are you DOING for everyone else? Living a secondhand life? Today's guest, Amanda Ewin shares with Mary Markham what she thought was normal at the time, how her busy life was a life of doing for everybody else and became exhausting. She had to ask for help. Amanda hired a coach, and interesting enough, thought the coach would help her with time management without being told, “You're doing too much.” And, of course, immediately thought this was the wrong person to help her. Amanda discovered she needed someone to help her look at all the things she was doing and see which ones were negotiable. She was offering to help others when she was struggling herself. If it didn't bring her joy, she let it go. Amanda learned how to set boundaries, step down or away from the things that she felt were respected or looked at as success and being attached to her identity. It was in this awareness that helped Amanda realize she no longer aspired to do it all and be Superwoman. She learned what was bringing her joy, how things affected her or impacted what she was doing or how she was feeling. This empowerment led her to becoming a Lifestyle Coach and Meditation Teacher helping high-achieving women shift from ‘meh' to magnificent in less than 90 days using a blend of hot science and fun spirituality, so they bounce out of bed in the morning. TAKEAWAYS: Magic happens outside your comfort zone Take time out Try something scary every day Remind yourself you are where you are meant to be right now It's going to be okay You have all the time you need It's all a journey Change the trajectory Everyone has a story To Contact Amanda Ewin: website: www.thelilaclounge.com email: amanda@thelilaclounge.com Please remember to SUBSCRIBE today and tell your friends about this inspiring conversation.

In this episode, Mary Markham's guest, Sam Ferres, shares how she struggled with confidence her entire life. She remembers back when she was about three or four years old and actually remembers doubting herself quite a lot. What she thought was being shy and an introvert, was that she had real confidence issues and anxiety from moving to five different schools, witnessing bullying and trying to fit in. She suffered insomnia during her teen years, which led to suffering with imposter syndrome, everyone else is better and has it all figured out. This caused her to work longer and harder, around the clock, which exacerbated the issues. Although she was at the top of her game of high performance at the age of 25 with a six figure salary, she still believed she wasn't good enough or as good as everybody else. Sam's identity crisis which she describes was attached to her job changed when she had a little boy. As her son woke up 15 to 20 minutes around the clock, she became more fatigued, depressed and anxious. As this went on for months, his health issues became the center of her life. Listen how she journeyed through the health challenges he faced and how she drew that line in the sand and looked for the silver lining through all of the challenges her family had experienced. TAKEAWAYS: No matter where you're at right now, that doesn't need to be where you're at forever. Know you can always come out of the other side of any difficult circumstance. Take a minute, look at what you can do and start shifting yourself forward. Take small action steps. One tiny step towards a goal builds some momentum. Never stop asking questions.

Have you hit rock bottom, are settling for mediocre or working your life away? Or, ever thought, “I just can't do this anymore? I just want to give up on everything, everyone and even life?” STOP RIGHT THERE! Listen to today's guest, Sarah Liebenthal as she shares her inspiring story of going from ROCK BOTTOM to multi-preneur. This recovering workaholic used her lowest point in life to propel her life forward into the woman she is today. EVERY WOMAN IS MEANT TO DO SOMETHING AMAZING For many years, Sarah thought that if she just worked a little more, achieved a little more, did a little more, and was a little more to everyone; she would finally be good enough to love herself, and be loved. She thought that she had to be everything to everyone, to be worthy of unconditional love. Sarah was settling as a number one dispatcher and police officer and her fear of commitment and money was keeping her dream of being a lawyer, just that, a dream. She worked full time and three different part time jobs, about 110 hours a week, until she hit rock bottom. ROCK BOTTOM to SheCAN and BEYOND… In 2018, Sarah's people pleasing, depression, anxiety, and inability to cope with her trauma led her down a spiral of self-sabotage, workaholism, and over-commitment, when she hit full on rock bottom. A life changing decision was made on April 1, 2019, when Sarah committed to GROWING in her own life instead of TAKING her own life. And, she hasn't looked back since. "Busyness can only exist as busyness of the mind. Being busy makes it impossible to do any sort of deep work." Sarah is a life and transformation coach who specializes in helping women who struggle with developing healthy boundaries, and in giving up the myth of busyness. Planning and organizing events, including women's empowerment events, is also Sarah's specialty. LET IT BE EASY Make dreams come true and don't settle.

HAPPILY EVER AFTER BEYOND DIVORCE & MOTHERHOOD Happily ever after begins today with how it is not necessary to live in the same city, nor state or even country to help reclaim independence and create a future filled with success, peace and happiness. Today's guest, Alice McDonald is an International Separation & Divorce Coach helping women from around the world including Australia, the USA, China, Indonesia, Canada and South Africa. She uses her experiences to empower women to move beyond divorce and motherhood with their own version of success & happiness. She works with separated or divorced women with older teens or adult children, who are ready to find themselves again, confidently reclaim their independence & create a future filled with success, peace & happiness. Alice's starting over journey was a “double whammy experience.” Her marriage of 23 years came to an end at a time when her children were in their late teens, in which an unplanned future began to look like, having no idea what it would look like. Her duties changed and she went from married mum to single empty nester. After spending time crying on the floor of the shower, trying to keep her sh*t together for her kids, Alice has come out of the other side of her divorce, happier than ever and enjoying creating her life by design. She had a clean slate and a new story to write. Alice's brokenness wasn't going to be her story. She made it clear and knew she needed to get through it. “What do I want my life to look like going forward? And how do I create that?” “Just getting through the day is really freakin hard sometimes. And you want to have those pockets of joy.” Alice knew at some point she would get through it because “People get through it.” She wanted to be in the best position possible, rather than digging herself a deeper hole. First she sorted out the really crucial things in her life and knew it was incredibly important to build a team of people around her. Alice had already been working with a psychologist at the time and then needed to have a good physician to look after her health. Setting a timeline for the next year or so, as she knew there would be times where she wouldn't be able to keep her momentum for herself. She hired a coach and met with her once a month, giving her the things she wanted her to help her keep on track with. That was one of the best decisions she ever made. This kept her on track. Alice wanted her turning point to be her success story. So she kept creating and looking for things that made her happy, really tapping into who she was as a person. “Do something that brings you JOY!” Dancing first thing in the morning, is what Alice does, that brings her JOY! Another thing that brings her joy is flowers. “I frickin love flowers.” She began doing more and more things that make her feel happy and make her everyday happy. Because this is her life. She lives in sunny Perth, Western Australia and has two older children - one adult son at university, a daughter just about to finish highschool and a furchild; a five year old rescue dog, Abbey. TIPS: Do something everyday that brings you JOY and makes you HAPPY! Know you WILL get through this! You simply start at the beginning, and you stop when you get to the end!

Have you ever thought about rebuilding yourself through property? Julie Wyatt, from Perth, Australia has been on a journey of rebuilding herself. After a divorce that left her physically, emotionally and mentally broken, she went after her love for renovations, and entered a competition that changed her life. This competition took Julie from a broken life to fixing broken houses. However, before renovating old and worn out homes into beautiful places to live, Julie began her career as a registered nurse. For about 38 years she had the opportunity to work in some isolated areas, from being a flight nurse with a Royal Flying Doctor Service, which is a remote area retrieval service, to working in hospitals. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Her renovating journey was 12 months of rebuilding her confidence, rebuilding her thought process about who she was, and what she could do. It was deep and challenging in every way, but worth it! The unknown was challenging and when not understanding at first why she was cutting pictures out of magazines and creating a vision board, this uncertainty led to rebuilding a broken life by renovating broken property into beautiful places to live. Julie definitely has a desire to fix the broken. Her love for renovating the old into something beautiful has generated over $1 million in profit on a part time basis. She has turned her renovations into Air BnB's and has been featured in “Your Investment Property Magazine” and Real Estate Talk.com.au. FIXING BROKEN HOUSE AND REBUILDING BROKEN LIVES While every house and every person has a story, it's all about how you recoup and move on. The basics and principles are the same. You need to declutter from the inside out. It's not just renovating property, but changing your mindset as well. When teaching someone about renovations, it's always the nuts and bolts of renovating and how to do this and how to do that. But it's really more about mindset, and how you actually teach someone how to do this, is by not losing sight of what it is that you need to do. Julie thinks one thing COVID has taught us right, is that we don't have to be hamstrung by where we are. You can do anything. You can coach virtually, and look at someone's house and get a pretty good idea what their house looks like, even though it might be in a different country. Don't let the distance stop you from reaching out to Julie. The basics and the principles of renovating remain the same and seeing it virtually is no problem at all.

Have you ever lost a baby or child with little or no support? Today's guest, Sharna Southan is a Soulprenuer, which is a Soulful Entrepreneur helping women through pregnancy loss and women who want to be in control of their finances, happiness, time and their future. After suffering her own pregnancy loss and finding no support for herself, she began to research, and learn about self healing. She became a Life Coach, NLP Practitioner & Self Healing Spiral Practitioner before starting the Institute of Healing through Pregnancy Loss in 2020. Sharna is unstoppable! As she continued to bring joy to other women after their loss, she stepped into a teaching role. She now teaches other women, who have a new purpose after loss and want to create values aligned for themselves through her Signature Pregnancy Loss System & Soulful Business Model. By teaching other women through her program, there is more support for women all over the world. No one should ever feel like they are alone in this process nor feel they have to suffer in silence. YOU'RE NOT MOVING ON YOU'RE MOVING FORWARD By staying in grief some women feel like that is their way to remember their loved one, their little baby. But, by moving forward with their life, they are able to honor their little one so much more. Memories will be so much more beautiful. They won't be clouded in grief and sadness. They would be able to look back on and with so much more happiness. Allow yourself that space to feel what you need to feel but know that you're not going to be moving on, you're moving forward. YOU'LL NEVER FORGET The one thing that gave Sharna peace was saying the “Serenity Prayer” every day in the morning and nighttime. It gave her permission to forget everything else and focus on herself. THE PRIVILEGE OF A LIFETIME IS BEING WHO YOU ARE The message she wants to leave: She is stepping outside the box and building more leaders in a space where her vulnerability and experiences fuel her mission. BE WHERE YOU ARE TIPS: Allow yourself to have time with yourself Spend time with yourself and ask yourself what feeling you're experiencing Slow down and sit with yourself You'll never forget Sit in meditation Journal your thoughts to get all emotions out of your head There is no timeframe for grieving CONTACT INFO: Social Media IG: @sharnasouthan
Today's guest, Terri Pilawa was on top of the world. She had a great job, an amazing son, met her husband and was in the best shape of her life. Everything was going well until she felt like she was suffocating and couldn't breath. Terri was in denial and couldn't believe this was happening to her. After suffering from a misdiagnosis of adult asthma for 5 years and many trips to the emergency room, Terri was diagnosed with NSIP Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2012. After days, months, years of not knowing if and when she would survive, she believed that “Giving up is too easy” and fought the good fight for her life. KEEP FAITH ~ KEEP FIGHTING Terri shares her starting over again and again journey as she fought for her life to the end. Hear the incredible details of how she felt like she was drowning or suffocating daily, and hung on until the end, begging for lungs. ONE LIFE FOR ANOTHER Just when she thought her life was coming to an end, having her DNR (Do not Resuscitate) in order, and having trouble breathing when responding to the nurse, “I need my lungs!” "I NEED MY LUNGS!" Shortly thereafter that night, on June 24, 2015, at 10:00 p.m. her doctor called and said she had lungs for her, not a perfect situation, but had lungs for Terri. The celebration of yelling and cheers were put on hold as she was too weak and getting too excited would use too much of her limited supply of oxygen. By midnight her donor was off the use of a ventilator support and by 3:00 a.m. the journey of a 13 hr surgery, Terri was getting lungs. What became a tragic end of a life for one family, was a gift of life for another. Terri was fortunate enough to meet her donor's family and hear how her Donor, Maria Quinteros, a 22 year old woman, said, “YES” to being a donor, saved Terri's life and now lives inside her, celebrating the gift of life every single day. Terri is truly blessed and grateful for her second chance of life.

Her busy life can create a busy mindset, so she begins by sharing how she prepares her day to stay focused for the unknown busyness ahead of her. STARTING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN Christine doesn't waste any time digging deep as she shares how starting over can be a decision one day, and a new journey the next. It can also be a marathon of small little steps, like just doing the next right thing today, because it's all you can do. She feels blessed to have all of those starting overs in her life. In her early 20's, she had a great career and ended up meeting a man, getting married and having two children. Unfortunately, there were a lot of challenges that ravaged her marriage, and it quickly came to an end. So in that space of not only starting over as a married woman, and a mother, she then subsequently had to start over as a single mom, and a divorced woman. And just dealt with a lot of challenges and emotions in that space. GROW, LEARN and EVOLVE Christine changed and grew as her life became very different than it was. She found herself in the space of starting over again, a beautiful new season, as she puts it. Starting over as a family, a new business and about to launch her Courage life coaching business, “Christine Jean Coaching.” She shares how God is opening doors and using her to speak truth and life into people. Not only are new opportunities coming forward for her business, but after not dating for a very long time, she is now in her 40's and starting over with love, and trying to figure that out again. She balances life by prioritizing her faith, single parenting her two teenagers- Chloe and Eagan, spending time in her garden, and building a life and an empire with her partner, Aaron.

What does the term Rising Brave mean to you? Are you ready for Bravery and being Confident enough to take on the World? The World is never too big to connect and technology continues to bring us together, one story at a time. Today's guest, Gretel Jane is a Separation Coach and Trauma Therapist and shares her story all the way from Australia. Gretel Jane helps newly separated women navigate the confusion, stress and drama of separation so they can move past the pain, overwhelming and frustrating feeling to feel calm, confident and in control of a life they truly love. Sometimes we have to be the student before becoming the best teacher. Once Gretel Jane became aware of the domestic violent cycle she was living, survival mode kicked in and what was really painful at times, turned into a beautiful journey. She realized she was trying to make everything okay, and keep things calm for the kids, and not wanting to leave because of not wanting her children to come from a broken family. Can you relate? Or do you know someone in that situation? “Seek out support!” She finally started to realize, “Hang on a minute they deserve and so to I, to live in a calm, happy household that doesn't have this level of stress.” While not 100% aware, yet very numb and very much in survival mode, she knew something had to change! Just one more violent episode and she was done! She packed up as much stuff as she could to get into the car and drove away, reminding herself, “I need to go, I need to go, I need to go!” Gretel Jane discovered how to be brave herself after a 12 year abusive marriage. She knows the importance of the various stages a woman goes through after such abuse; Survival, Healing and Planning, thus the reason why she is so passionate about helping other separated and abused women. Her life experiences and education has allowed her to create a three-stage Separation Triage Formula which resulted in “Rising Brave” being born. Her formula heals emotional pain, helps clients move out of self-doubt and reclaims their self-confidence and self-esteem leaving them stronger, more confident and ready to take on the world. Listen to Gretel Jane share the details of the Triage Stages Formula. “The wound is where the light enters you.” She loves watching her clients develop resilience, be empowered and be the sun, even on a cloudy day. “It's the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind, that determines which way we will go.” Tips: Focus on Being than Doing Move your body Own and embrace what you feel Take-aways: Truth is we are all a beautiful SUN! Focus on what's inside of you You Can Do It! It IS Possible!
