“Never give up and your child will surprise you. Your child has so much to give. Be grateful for their loving heart.” -Karen Franco Arlene will talk to author, speaker, special needs advocate, and parent Karen Franco regarding the mindsets of supporting children with special needs (especially those on the autism spectrum). Myths about how these children don't want to fit in or have friends because the truth is quite the opposite. These special children want to be like everyone else and have friends. They just do it differently and may need more guidance and help. We will discuss how best to support, teach, understand, and accept these children and the parents who love them. These are the goals for this episode of Mindset Meets Mastery with Arlene Gale and in the books written by Karen Franco that are perfect teaching tools in school, homes, and anywhere children learn and play.   Join the Mindset Meets Mastery Today  Book Writing Business  Facebook  Twitter  Instagram LinkedIn   YouTube  Highlights: 00:50 Children with Special Needs 09:45 Unexpected Turn of Events 18:47 Grappling with the News   24:30 Screening the Information  29:18 Handling Your Biggest Fear 33:22 Every Child’s Place 39:16 Special Needs 43:16 4 Books to Read Today! 51:51 Special Books for Special Seasons  55:12 Never Give Up!

“You can’t have healthy relationships unless your relationship with yourself is healthy first. Self-awareness, self-reflection, self-care, and the mindsets around your value are the foundation of any type of positive relationship.” -Leah JM Dean There are many forms of relationships: parent-child, husband-wife, employer-employee, caregiver, friend, and more. A variety of feelings come with having and maintaining any relationships. But it seems that specifically complicated is relationships happening with women and between women. This episode is for you if you are one of my lady listeners or if you're a man who loves a lady or is raising a young lady.  Is it possible to make better and deeper connections with women? Is it okay to have "necessary conversations" to determine the health and maintenance of a relationship? Do we have a limited capacity for a certain number or depth of relationships? Is it really possible to make healthy, mutually beneficial, lifelong connections with other women? My expert guest today, Leah JM Dean, a Tribe Formation Expert, answers these questions and discusses her formula to deepen our relationship with ourselves, our friends (especially between women), family, and more.  Leah Dean has created a simple, but very powerful formula for building a tribe that stands the test of time. In her soon to be released book "Assemble the Tribe: Believe in Your Value. Find Belonging. Be Different." Leah shares her trademarked formula based on proprietary research and shows us how to shift our mindset by first discovering the value that we bring to every connection we make.   Join the Mindset Meets Mastery Today  Book Writing Business  Facebook  Twitter  Instagram LinkedIn   YouTube  Highlights: 00:50 Relationship Talks 10:19 The Complexity of Female Relationships 15:07 What is a Tribe? 20:22 The Nature of Relationships 29:56 Facts About Tribe and Connectivity 36:40 Relationships and Your Capacity 44:18 A Book For Women  51:09 A Mindset That Can Change Your Life and The Generations to Come

This, on the contrary, can be detrimental to business and to the owner. Catherine explains why this may be true. It is vital for entrepreneurs to turn their attention to the “social” aspect of social media. After being social on a media, a business has then earned the right to sell in that space.

“I'm not smart… I prepare. And that goes for anything in life.” –Mona Dixon Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right!

It may come in many names and many forms but their existence is never to stop us from attaining success. They are there to remind us to keep going because when we begin to relax on our journey, we might think that we’ve already reached our goal even before we actually do.

“Finding something that really matters to you, a cause greater than yourself, and pursuing it, is the thing that will take you where you want to be.” –Anne Lorimor Life is full of opinions. We are born with the ability to think and think about which ones to believe. This applies to age talks as well. The age stereotype has dominated the world and sadly, our minds too. It’s beneficial to know our limitations as we grow older but not as beneficial to impose limitations on ourselves that don’t even exist in the first place. Anne Lorimor, Guinness  World Record Holder for the oldest woman to reach the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, has proven that age is not a limitation but an opportunity to do something great. She shares her “3-Steps” to beat age. There’s no such thing as too early or too late in life. Following your purpose is a lifelong journey. You go with it as long as you live. Persistence is the key, as Anne always says.

“Whatever is going on right now is recoverable. And all we need to do is keep on going.” –Kim Sutton There’s always a lot to do, but we seem to run out of time for everything to get done. Sometimes, we have days filled with dissatisfaction and regret thinking about the things we missed on our To-Do List. The thing is, we don’t have to do everything. Just because we can, does it mean we should. Kim Sutton shares her secret and techniques on positive productivity- working the way smart people work. It’s easy to get distracted, especially if you have what Kim calls, the Chronic Idea Disorder, which is the title of her upcoming book. She explains the struggles one with this condition faces and how to turn this malady into a benefit. Failures and obstacles are merely small fractions that make up the entirety of progress. Whatever it is that makes things hard, it’s “overcomeable.”  Being busy is different from being productive as their outcomes convey. Productivity breeds progress and it only comes with teaching yourself to do more than just chase money.   Join the Mindset Meets Mastery Today  Book Writing Business  Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn  YouTube   Highlights: 04:05 What is “Chronic Idea Disorder” and How to Recover From It 08:25 Create a Priority List 13:19 The Entrepreneur’s Worst Enemy 14:31 How to Teach Your Clients How to Expect 16:37 Saving the Life of Entrepreneurs Through Positive Productivity 18:00 How Perfectionism Impacts Progress 21:48 Don’t Share Your Wounds; Share Your Scars 27:24 The Pomodoro Technique
