MIS-FIT: Start Living and Thriving Now with Dr. Natalie Forest

 I am excited to share a conversation with Kim O’Neill  - whom I energetically felt aligned to the first time we talked.  She was interviewing me!  She is the host of the Every Day is a New Day podcast and live show, and a certified Transformational Confidence Coach for interviews and life. She loves helping people heal from their past and that is where we start connecting. Today we’ll talk about coaching vs. counselling, the importance of BEing, the fun in transformation, energetic connections, why we all matter, and more.  It’s always combined with laughter! Join us!https://www.kimoneillcoaching.com

Today I invite you to join a fun and insightful conversation as I welcome my friend Sherri.  Sherri believe in Dreaming Big.  This belief has helped her in recognizing an often over-looked aspect of bullying.  She has drawn and shows a direct connection between bullying and the “self-talk” most people have.  Join me as together, Sherri and I discuss “The Bully within YOU” and let her share tips on how to stop that bully so that you can, indeed, Dream Big and LIVE Big.https://www.sherrileopold.com/

Stages of life – what are they?  Do we have them?  Whose life are we talking about?  Today I will share with you some insights with you on life and business – there are stages in life that we all go through, whether we are aware of not.  The fascinating piece is that a business also has cycles, life cycles and we can actually see how they connect; not just because we are human being living a life that may include running a business but because there is some overlap. Join me as I will share with you how you can see where you are in life, where you are in your business and how you can move forward from there.  Use the life lessons and apply them to your business – you may be surprised…. To see how the theory of business life cycles can actually be applied in the reality of business.www.natalieforest.comwww.pillarfive.com

As a human being it is important to take time out for yourself and figure out what your idea of success is.  There are so many people that exist (we talked about that) instead of truly living out loud.  So, isn’t it time to Live YOUR life YOUR way?  Yes? Great – that means you need to know what your idea of Success is – YOUR idea, not anyone else’s.  There are many people and many forces throughout our lives that tell us what they think we need to be, to pursue and how to measure our success… yet, is that truly what YOUR idea is?Is that truly and authentically what makes YOUR heart sing and dance?If not, then you may experience more stress than you need to.Today we’ll talk about YOUR idea of success and how you can begin the process of identifying it so that you can get to that “happy place” within and without, that place where you are YOU and have all you desire.www.natalieforest.com

Revolutionize your ExpectationsOne item that comes up quite often with friends, clients, and acquaintances is the idea of “expectations”.  It appears many people have them and it appears further that many people and up in a negative, often vicious, cycle because of their expectations. So, today we will address how to Revolutionize YOUR expectations of others and yourself.  Why?  Simply so that you are able to work with expectations in a way that increases your happiness and lessens your stress and your aggravations!How does that sound to you?www.natalieforest.com

Today we will talk about Resolutions.  There are certain times in the year, especially at the end of a year where people feel prompted to create Resolutions and announce them.  Yet, why do many people do that and what is really the impact on their lives?Resolutions are Goals, the word literally means you resolve to do something.  If that “something” is not in alignment with your purpose and mission – what will the result be?  New Year’s Resolutions are part of a negative cycle spurned on by markets and social norms, not necessarily connected to serve YOU.Let’s revolutionize your revolutions and create tangible goals that matter to YOU and help you GROW.  I’ll share why and how!www.natalieforest.com

Giving … giving is something that comes naturally to some while others hold back; they hold back for a variety of reasons and yet, in the end, the reason is a subconscious belief in lack.  Thus, Giving is Abundance.  Who gives and why?When you give, do you have an agenda or do you give because … it’s right?Giving means understanding all you have.  Giving means expressing your gratitude by sharing what you have; whether that is money or time or a gesture or … there are no limits to giving!  Step out of those boxes and BE a MISFIT: give YOUR way.  That way you open the door to abundance and the energy will reflect your gratitude. Now, that does not mean give so you receive – you still need to be “agenda-less” in many ways and not expect anything in return as the act of giving itself is already enough.Let’s explore today how you are giving or not giving and why.  Let’s open those doors to gratitude and receiving.www.natalieforest.com

It’s that time of year where many of use engage in reflection and I want to use that occasion to address the issue of “reflecting.”  There are many times and many ways that ask us to reflect.  The question is “HOW” to do in a responsible, respectful way that actually benefits and celebrates you.How often do you reflect upon your achievement?How often do you recognize your achievement?How often do you judge yourself?Let’s revolutionize your reflections and do it responsibly – I’ll share some ways on how to do that.www.natalieforest.com

Healing – healing means so many things to so many people.  Today I am honored and thrilled to welcome Anita Casalina who is a “World Changer” and whom I had the pleasure of meeting and staying in touch with many years ago – some connections last throughout the years.  As the Founder of “Billions Rising Foundation”, and accomplished author, healer, show creator. Founder of “World Changers Television”, and much more she shares her vision.  Award-winning Producer and Director Anita Casalina has always been drawn to telling stories about peace and prosperity. She has made educational films for Physicians for Social Responsibility, Friends of the Earth, Foster Parents Education, and other non-profit organizations. Despite a comfortable childhood, her early life in Oakland, CA gave her perspective and compassion toward the difficulties those in poverty faced daily. As she gained a better understanding of the scope of global poverty, the problem felt insurmountable. In 2011, Anita met a man who had worked for USAID in Africa. Amazed by his success “in the field,” giving people the tools to become self-sustaining, Anita was inspired to co-found the Billions Rising, Self-Reliance Foundation. The mission to highlight global programs, organizations and projects that promote sustainable solutions to end poverty led her to create the BlogTalk Radio show “Billions Rising.” The interviews from that show were the foundation of her best-selling book, Billions Rising, Empowering Self-Reliance. The success of her book further inspired her to spread a message of positivity.She is also deeply involved in the movie “Imaginary Walls, a Film About Healing Racism”, which is a big part of our conversation on healing,  as the producer.Join us!https://www.linkedin.com/in/anitacasalina/

Being mis-fits in their own way I am excited to have them share why this tool is crucial for all of us and how it is designed to change the current trend in entrepreneurship, which is identified by the Department of Labor as 50% of businesses dying within the first 5 years of their endeavors. As an entrepreneur and business consultant myself I know the importance of setting up a business the right way.  I also know that living life and thriving means creating a personal vision of success and combining that with all areas of our lives.  It appears that this new tool can do that – so let’s explore.www.pillarfive.com
