Finding your new normal by living more authentically and with your fullest potential with Susan: Reasons why we may play small and not live to our fullest potential. Identifying when you are keeping yourself small and hiding out. Living beyond the fear of criticism and judgment. Key Takeaways: Keeping yourself small does not serve yourself or those who are waiting for you. COVID-19 is giving us a rare, valuable opportunity to reevaluate ourselves, our lives, and our potential future. You have gifts and talents to share and an impact to make. People are out there waiting for you to show up because you matter. "If you know that there’s a part of you that could share, more authentically, who you are with the people that you are in contact with and you’re holding back...you’ve got to ask yourself why. What is it you’re really afraid of or worried about? What part of you is concerned that they won’t accept you?." —  Susan Dascenzi Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: Kick Your Buts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: KickYourButs.com Book: See Books Here!

Listening to your heart’s voice with Susan: Managing the human experience to come back to our authenticity. Answering the question about the future from a human perspective or from your own knowingness. Discerning and following your heart’s voice from the voice in your head. Key Takeaways: We each have our own anxieties and fears that came from how we grew up that are individual to us. We all need to figure out how we want to show up in the world and what makes us happy, as we move through those human experiences in our own authenticity. COVID-19 is giving us a gift - a time to reflect and decide who we are and who we want to be. You literally can do anything if it really fires you up, you’re passionate about it, and it’s really in alignment with your heart’s voice. "We are all being asked to shift everything. It isn’t a question of whether we can or want to, it’s a question of whether we will." —  Susan Dascenzi Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: Kick Your Buts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: KickYourButs.com Book: See Books Here!

Realizations during COVID-19 and embracing this unique opportunity to redesign and reinvent your life with Susan: Using this time to reflect and shift in our lives during this massive time of change in the world. Susan’s emotional rollercoaster journey as she came to her realization and understanding of the upcoming podcast shift. Living your real, authentic life when you haven’t been taught how to do that. Key Takeaways: Each and every person on the planet has unique gifts and talents to share and an impact to make. It’s important to ask yourself these questions during this time of shift: What do you want? What really makes you happy? What is important to you? Where do you want to go from here? Who do you want to be? We are all in this together, but we aren’t in the same boat...everyone’s experiences may be very different. There are resources out there if you are struggling with anything, but you do have to reach out. It is perfectly okay to feel like it’s not okay! It’s not always fine and to live authentically, we have to recognize it’s ok if it doesn’t feel “fine” right now. "You’re not by yourself. If you are listening to my voice right now, you’re not by yourself! I’m here. You’re here. Let’s connect." —  Susan Dascenzi Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: Kick Your Buts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: KickYourButs.com Book: See Books Here!

Breaking free from our own limitations with Susan and Marian: Seeing the positivity even in negative or challenging times. Discussing the emotions and blocks from past traumas. Breaking free and stepping back into a place of trust and love. Overcoming your limitations. Key Takeaways: Without opening up and talking about your experiences, you will not be healed. Name 10 things that drain your energy right now and see what needs to go. List 10 things that fill your energy and see what you need more of. Everybody is different, there is no cookie cutter solution for everyone. But, by identifying the pain point, you will be able to find a solution. It doesn’t all work all the time. You have to keep going. "I knew I needed to make an exodus, that there was going to be a separation. And there were a lot of things that had to happen in order for that separation to happen." —  Marian McSpadden About Marian McSpadden: Marian and her husband own a multimillion-dollar business. She was born in a secluded culture of a horse-drawn buggy religious organization. When she was 34 years old, she escaped the cult, went back to school and obtained her GED, and ultimately graduated with a bachelor’s degree. Marian helps people get through the disappointment you never expect to happen. You never expect to be trapped in a relationship, culture, business, financial situation, job, emotion, religion, grief, health crisis or circumstance. Whether it happens to you, or you make the choice yourself, the pain feels the same. The ability to go to bed happy and wake up energized is not free...it takes working through it all. However, those willing to pay the cost will say “I am glad I did and not I wish I had.” Connect with Marian McSpadden: Twitter: @McSpaddenMarian Facebook: Marian Monet McSpadden Website: MarianMcSpadden.com Instagram: @marianmcspadden YouTube: Marian McSpadden LinkedIn: Marian McSpadden Get a FREE Chapter of Pretty Much Everything You Try Doesn’t Work!: EverythingYouTry.com Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: Kick Your Buts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: KickYourButs.com Book: See Books Here!

Navigating our spiritual and religious connections when you cannot gather in person with Susan and John: The transition from standard church services to connecting at home with daily Mass and how this sheltering-at-home affects us emotionally and spiritually. Connecting spiritually while we cannot gather in person. Managing the feelings of guilt and other negative emotions during this time. Key Takeaways: The energy is different when you are not able to connect in person. Even something as simple as a hug is very different when you’re doing it virtually. It’s not the same and it’s the same feeling with watching Mass at home rather than being there in person. Close your eyes and envision yourself in your place of worship, or just go within, and embrace those feelings, connect to your deepest heart and soul, and feel that connectedness. Allow yourself the permission to feel and think what you feel and think, but don’t disconnect with those you love and care about. "God has given us a wakeup call. God has given our country, our planet, a wakeup call. We need to change things." —  John Hopkins About John Hopkins: As a young man, John’s love for his country guided him to serve and he spent 22 years as a Civil Engineer for the United States Air Force as an active duty member. Even after his formal retirement from the Air Force approximately 15 years ago, he returned to his squadron (in the same job capacity) as a civilian. Having grown up with progressive parents, who were inter-religiously married and exposed him to two different faiths and gave him the freedom to forge his own path, John’s heart and soul guided him to Catholicism approximately 30 years ago. His deep faith and involvement in the Catholic community has led him to feel that this community is an extension to his family. His wife of 29 years, who is also very devoted to the same faith, his two sons and two grandchildren, and his siblings all understand the important role faith plays in his daily life. As a dedicated father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and religious leader in his community, John’s life has been about service from a place of Love, Compassion, Connection, and Unity.

The nature of feminine consciousness and the power of compassion with Susan and Misa: Culturally, we have a strange relationship with abuse and how it affects us as individuals on a spiritual level. What feminine consciousness is and what it is not. The relationship between the masculine and the feminine and finding the balance. The power of finding compassion, finding your circle, and moving through healing. Key Takeaways: We are living in a world full of yang energy - masculine, fiery, active - we need to find the feminine consciousness, the yin - stillness, compassion, willingness to listen - the womb of creation. If your anxiety and your stress levels are down, you’ll be able to quiet your mind. And when your mind is quiet, you can enter the stillness that is the domain of feminine consciousness. In this space, you will make better, more hopeful, and creative decisions, and your intuition and overall creativity will go up. The solutions already exist. All solutions, all possibilities, already exist and are already there regardless of what we’re talking about. "Metaphysically, spiritually...after death, there is always birth. Look outside, it's springtime in the Northern Hemisphere and right after death, there is birth; this is part of the way it works on this planet. So, something is dying. The question is: What is dying, in addition to our beloved people who are leaving, what, in consciousness, is dying? And what I would suggest is that it is our tendency to disempower ourselves and others, and we are seeing the reflection of that through a virus we call COVID-19." —  Misa Hopkins About Misa Hopkins: Misa Hopkins has been a pioneer in the field of Feminine Consciousness for over 20 years and is a 5-times best-selling author. She has made multiple television appearances and has spoken at events with such luminaries as Deepak Chopra, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Larry Dossey, and Arielle Ford. Misa's powerful mystical initiations in both feminine and masculine sacred energies inspire her to further personal and planetary healing through balanced consciousness. She does that through projects like Women Emerging: Reclaiming Our Souls from Sexual Abuse, dedicated to healing and ending sexual abuse.

Embracing and becoming comfortable in your relationship with failure with Susan and Miha: What was missing from his four companies that all crashed overnight. What happened after having the ah-ha moment. Establishing a healthy relationship with failure. Key Takeaways: You have to take ownership of your actions and the consequences, good and bad. Somebody needs to start for people to open up. By sharing your story and your journey, it helps others to open up as well. You need a foundation internally, as a human and within your life. It will allow you to fail forward and have a healthy relationship with failure.   "It was at that time as I was exploring a lot - who I am, what I stand for, and so on - when I realized that wearing all those masks and doing all those things, emptied me on the inside. That material stuff, that was all on the outside; my life was super empty on the inside." —  Miha Matlievski   About Miha Matlievski: In 2009, Miha had four companies go bankrupt overnight: landing him $5 million in debt. Contemplating suicide to escape the pain as he looked over the balcony, he had a life-saving AH-HA moment. He realized that failure was a normal part of life: admitting to himself that he failed and to recognize he needed to stop blaming others and circumstances. This was the turning point when he made a choice to learn from his failures so he could do things differently in the future and to help others. Since then, he has climbed back to create a business and scaling it to 8 figures in less than a year. His life mission is to help people develop a healthy relationship with failure...especially entrepreneurs.   Connect with Miha Matlievski: Twitter: @fail_coach Facebook: Miha Matlievski & Miha Matlievski – Fail Coach Website: Fail.Coach & FrameWork4Freedom.com LinkedIn: Miha Matlievski Instagram: @failcoach Free Weekly Coaching: FrameWork4Freedom.me   Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: Kick Your Buts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: KickYourButs.com Book: See Books Here!

Addiction manifests differently and, like any other illness, responds to different treatments for different people. Think of social media and the internet like food – as a tool to survive. We can’t avoid it in today’s age, but it is a tool, not a free for all. "An experience is just an experience. It’s how we label that experience that means everything. Don’t pre-label an experience before you have it – have the experience first then decide." —  Dr. Will Horton Connect with Dr. Will Horton: Twitter:  @cowboy_doc & @docnlp Facebook:  William D.

Discussing Energy Facilitation and your Life with Susan and Kim: How Kim transitioned from her trajectory as a NASA Engineer to her current work with energy facilitation. What energy work is and how it has continued to unfold for Kim. Working with clients both in person and remotely. Key Takeaways: Suspend your excuses, limits, and boundaries of “I’ll do it someday”. Do those things that you have on your bucket list. Many of us are so quick to feel a pain or to feel a tingling or to feel some particular sensation and automatically jump to the conclusion that it's something negative, but that’s not always the case – check in with yourself and see if it is your higher power giving you information. The more you grow spiritually, the more you will be able to tap into the energies around you. “Your intuition is what develops as you grow spiritually - your intuition, the five different intuitive abilities, will grow and you'll hone them just like we have our five senses of seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, and hearing." —  Kim Chiarello – The Connector Connect with Kim Chiarello: Twitter: @BeTheChange303 Medium: Be The Change Now Website: BeTheChangeNow.com Youtube: Be The Change Now FREE 20-Minute Discovery Session Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: Kick Your Buts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: KickYourButs.com Book: See Books Here!

In this episode, Susan and Jessica Santonato discuss: Jessica's coming of age and indoctrination into the world of gang bangers in Edmonton, Canada during the late 1990's. How she survived a dangerously abusive marriage to a gang leader and found her strength in the power of forgiveness. Spiritual awakening and the creation of Flip the Script. Key Takeaways: Forgiveness is ceasing the resentment. It's a choice. Everyone has a message and a story rooted in pain that can help others see the light. Start by having a deep love affair with yourself.   "If you want to change the world, do that by simply loving yourself, because when you love yourself deeply, you're also putting that love out into the world." —  Jessica Santonato Connect with Jessica Santonato: Website: http://www.jessicasantonato.com Email: Media@JessicaSantonato.com Book: http://www.jessicasantonato.com/the-book/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jess.santonato/ Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: Kick Your Buts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: KickYourButs.com Book: See Books Here!

In this episode, Susan discusses: Setting realistic, focused goals for 2020. The power in just getting started. Having choice and making decisions in seeing those choices unfold. Key Takeaways: Let go of some of your excuses, limitations, buts, and boundaries that have held you back this year and go into 2020 with real clarity of vision. You can take a resolution and begin it again - every day if needed, as it takes time to change ingrained habits and every day is brand new. Evaluate your 2019 - see what you did well and what needs changed, then craft small, revolutionary steps that will help you form new habits in 2020.   "I think it’s more important to just start and do a little at a time. Not necessarily going for the “gold,” but keeping an eye on the goal and taking small steps to get there. I know I’ll be much more successful in 2020 doing it this way." —  Susan Dascenzi   Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: Kick Your Buts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: KickYourButs.com Book: See Books Here!

In this episode, Susan discusses: The different ways that people feel towards the holiday season. All the different holidays, some lesser-known, that people celebrate this time of year. How we can support others during this time or how we can be supported by others. Key Takeaways: Be mindful that not everyone enjoys the holidays, some may feel quite the opposite – fearful, sad or lonely The holidays can be a great time to put aside differences and come together for the sake of the bond you share If you are feeling positive about the holiday season, lend a helping hand or a simple smile to someone that may need it If you do not typically have a positive holiday experience, reach out to someone that can support you or spend time with you "I invite you to reach out to those that can lend a supportive hand if you're feeling sad, a little depressed, down, or anxiety-ridden about this time of year. And if you're feeling oh so full of love and joy, spread that too...it is beautiful to spread love and to share in the happiness, the gift and the gratitude of life." —  Susan Dascenzi Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Email: kickyourbuts2020@gmail.com Twitter: @butskick Facebook: kickyourbuts Instagram: @kickyourbuts Website: www.kickyourbuts.com Book: See Books Here!

In this episode, Susan and Audrey discuss: How Audrey DID NOT know she had a heart attack for 2 days and the different types Mindset tools that help women reduce stress Lessons from the stress mastery program Key Takeaways: Embracing cardiac rehab and how meditation became powerful tools to heal her physically and mentally It is important to be present and not multitask all the time - focus on one thing at a time and learn to be in the present Stress is excess demand vs capacity, so you have to either let things go or increase your capacity "All we have is the present. The past is gone, the future isn’t here yet, and we have this gift called the present." —  Audrey Weidman About Audrey Weidman: In October of 2016, Audrey experienced a life-changing event. She had a heart attack. This flew in the face of her identity as the “model” of healthy living. An angiogram showed that she had no plaque build-up in her arteries – which was a reflection of her healthy lifestyle, but that she had developed a tear in her coronary artery called a SCAD. After some reflection, Audrey realized she brought the heart attack upon herself. She knew she took care of her body, but didn't take care of her mind and the thoughts she was thinking and realized that the self-talk and stress she put on herself caused the heart attack. This made her realize, without a doubt, that thoughts become things. Audrey became a Certified Stress Mastery educator with the American Institute of Stress and is a healthy lifestyle advocate working with women who have cardiovascular disease so they can create a balance of mind and body. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the Western World and is largely preventable as prevention and recovery start with a healthy mindset.

In this episode, Susan discusses: How using excuses can keep you from moving forward and finding your passion Learning to honor the part of you that is afraid without letting it have power over you How the language we use can help to uncover obstacles that are holding you back Key Takeaways: Using the word "but" causes one to hear ONLY what comes AFTER the word "but"...not what comes before The impact of the language you verbally use, as well as what you hear in your head, is huge and makes all the difference in how we move through an obstacle or emotion Keep track of how many times you use the word "but" throughout your day - you might be surprised at how ingrained it is in your everyday language "Every piece of language that we use, whether we say it out loud or hear it silently in our minds, can either be a positive or negative enforcer. The positive enforcer drives us to taking the next step on our path. The negative enforcer paralyzes us into inaction and fear. Be aware of the enforcer you're listening to if you want to move toward achieving the goals, dreams, and life you desire." —  Susan Dascenzi Connect with Susan Dascenzi: Free Guide: the-entrepreneurs-guide-to-blocks-and-trauma Email: Susan@SusanDascenzi.com Twitter: @susandascenzi Facebook: Infinite Possibilities Website: SusanDascenzi.com Book: See Books Here!
