I am thrilled that you've joined me once again as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal development.My goal is to offer you a sprinkle of inspiration and a dash of motivation to propel you forward on your unique and extraordinary life path.Now, a quick shout-out to all my Spanish-speaking amigos! You can catch my Spanish podcast, "Minutos Motivacionales con Maria," on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms.Today's topic was requested by one of our awesome listeners, and I'm here to serve up exactly what you want to hear. So, let's dig into the fascinating topic of "The Anatomy of Resilience" and uncover the magic behind this truly admirable quality.Resilience is like a superhero power that deserves a spotlight, so let's roll up our sleeves and uncover its true essence together.Let's make resilience not just insightful, but also super fun to explore! Let's distinguish between resilience and merely bouncing back from challenges. Resilience goes beyond just returning to normal; it involves growth, adaptation, and transformation in the face of adversity. It's like a sturdy tree that bends with the storm but remains rooted and strong.Resilience is more than just bouncing back from adversity; it encompasses a deeper and more nuanced quality involving growth, transformation, and a shift in perspective. While bouncing back implies a return to a previous state after facing challenges, resilience goes beyond that by fostering personal growth and the ability to adapt in the face of adversity[1]. Resilience involves understanding the difference between fate and freedom and taking responsibility for one's life, indicating a proactive and empowered approach to overcoming obstacles[2].Here is an example of resilience that many of you can relate to.  I'm holding a pair of pantyhose…yes I said pantyhose.  Listen in for some thoughts on becoming more resilient.Until Next Time...Stay focused, stay positive and always have fun.Coach Maria

The Power of Caregiving and Healing for the CaregiverHave you ever been in a position when your life was suddenly turned upside down and you found yourself in the role of becoming a caregiver? It can be daunting and draining.  In this week's episode we discuss the importance of caregiving and how to care for yourself when you are in this new role. In our fast-paced world, many of us find ourselves facing unexpected life changes that thrust us into the role of caregiver. Whether it's caring for a family member, friend, or loved one, the responsibilities and challenges of caregiving can be overwhelming. Many caregivers have felt the pressure and may feel emotionally and physically drained. To shed light on the significance of caregiving and the essential aspect of self-care for you, the caregiver, I had the privilege of interviewing Laurie Kennedy, a respected expert in this field. Laurie shared her insights and practical advice on navigating the complexities of being a caregiver while also prioritizing one's own well-being. For over 24 years, she has dedicated herself to being a full-time caregiver, starting her journey at just 5 years old by assisting her disabled brother with care.In our conversation, Laurie emphasized the profound impact of caregiving on individuals and families, and she provided valuable strategies for maintaining balance and finding support during such demanding times. Her wealth of knowledge on this subject is truly invaluable, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share her wisdom with you.I hope you find this topic as compelling as I do, and I encourage you to listen in or watch it on my YouTube Channel, www.youtube.com/mariabradfield.As always, stay focused, stay positive and have fun.Coach Maria

 Welcome back my thrivers and strivers to this week's captivating episode of Motivational Moments with Maria.  This entire month we are focusing on spring cleaning as we realign, renew and rise.  Last week we chatted about planting the seeds in the spring and how we must plant, cultivate, nurture and water before we can harvest.  Just like in farming, part of the process of having a bountiful and healthy harvest is removing the weeds so we can clear space for growth. The same holds true for our well being.  Just as a farmer tends to their crops, we must cultivate our own potential. However, lurking amidst the fertile soil of our minds are weeds—limiting beliefs that stunt our growth and hold us back from reaching our full potential.By uprooting the weeds of doubt and fear, we create space for growth, resilience, and infinite possibilities. As you embark on your own journey of personal transformation, remember that with each weed removed, you step closer to a life filled with abundance and flourishing potential.Just What are those Limiting Beliefs?Limiting beliefs are those deeply ingrained thoughts and ideas that convince us we are unworthy, incapable, or undeserving of success and happiness. These beliefs come from our childhood experiences, societal conditioning, or past traumas. They can manifest in various forms, such as "I'm not good enough", "I don't deserve to be happy", or "I'll never succeed".Limiting beliefs are like insidious weeds that take root in the garden of our minds, hindering our progress and potential. These beliefs, often shaped by past experiences and societal influences, can manifest in various forms, from self-doubt to fear of failure. By exploring their origins and acknowledging their impact, we can begin to uproot these barriers to personal growth and transformation.Understanding the origins of our limiting beliefs is the first step towards overcoming them. By exploring the root causes of these beliefs, we can begin to unravel the layers of conditioning and self-doubt that hold us back from living a fulfilling life.Listen for some thoughts on how to weed out those beliefs to create space for new growth.Stay focused, stay positive, and always have fun. Coach Maria

It's March and that means spring is upon us.   Besides March Madness in the college basketball world, what else happens?  Springs arrives and we notice signs of life beginning to bloom in nature. Animals come out of hibernation ready to renew and rise. Guess what it's no different for us.  Many of you have been in hibernation mode and Spring is the perfect time for you to realign, renew and rise. This week our episode will focus on the power of planting intentions and creating a vision for your desired life.  It's time to sow the seeds of intention so we can nurture the vision you have for the life you want. I want you to consider looking at your life as a piece of land, rich in soil, and nutrients just waiting for you to create nourishment and food for yourself. The beauty is, we get to decide what we want to plant in our soil.  Just like a farmer gazes over the land and decides what she intends to plant in her parcel of land we too must decide what our intentions are for our life and what we plan on creating for our life.  Setting clear intentions is the first step towards creating the life you desire. By defining what you truly want, you provide a roadmap for your journey. Your intentions serve as the seeds you plant in the fertile ground of your consciousness. These intentions shape your thoughts and actions, thereby influencing the outcomes you experience.What will you plant?Listening in and remember to subscribe to my YouTube channel, Maria Bradfield and of course this podcast.  Until next week, stay focused, stay positive and always have fun and no matter what you choose to be, do or have, do it with passion. Coach Maria

I am committed to serving you become the best you choose to become.  After all, everything we do is a choice.So here comes the question for this week. Have you ever set a new goal and started to have heart palpitations and start to sweat?I'm not sure about you, but each time I set a new goal that seems WAY beyond my present reach, I've encountered something called "The Terror Barrier”.This is when the body tenses up – I might start to grit my teeth - and a general feeling of panic appears."OH MY GOSH, WHAT AM I DOING?" might also be a question that pops up in your mind. Listen, this is a natural process, and there's a way you can overcome these feelings and replace them with those that are more in alignment with the good that you desire. When this happens, we must literally "flip the switch" and return to a state of peace, gratitude, and knowing that our wish is being fulfilled - regardless of us seeing (or not) seeing HOW we can make this happen. So let's talk about some things you can do to remove the terror barrier.Listen in for some insights on how to break through the “Terror Barrier”.

Every week it is my intent to increase your awareness of personal growth to help you stay more focused, energetic, disciplined, and inspired, so YOU can experience more excitement, fulfillment, fun and joy in all areas of your life.Have you ever been around someone that just seems to have it together and they appear to be flourishing in all areas of their life?  And you wonder…how do they, or how did they do it. Listen a great life just doesn't happen.  When we use the right tools, imagine what's possible. A lot of people say they want to change but most people don't take the steps necessary to make change possible. I've been there.  I was stuck and couldn't seem to get ahead.  But I wanted more and began to listen to some of the personal development “tapes.”  Yes, I said tapes so you know that it was a long time ago.  Some of you may not even know what I am talking about. So how can we flourish?  Decades of scientific research shows that we can be happier tomorrow than we are today. But what happens?  The media would have you believe that we should not be hopeful and they work hard on instilling fear, uncertainty and doubt in you.  However, evidence shows in many ways the world and you are better off than ever before. There really is cause for hope in this world and it begins with you.Psychologists have spent many years studying how people flourish so let's first talk about why some people feel they cannot move forward.  Listen in for some positive thoughts on how to flourish. Stay focused, stay positive, and always have fun.Coach Maria

Every week it is my intent to increase your awareness of personal growth is to help you stay more focused, energetic, disciplined, and inspired, so YOU can experience more excitement, fulfillment, fun and joy in all areas of your life.   It also helps me stay more energetic, passionateand obsessed about my work. If I can make a difference in one person's life….I am charged. 2022 seems to be flying by so quickly.  Half the year is over and some of you are rocking your year and some of us haven't hit all the targets we set, yes me included.  Some of you may be saying…I'm not ready yet, I'm not good enough, I don't know enough and it's hard to start.   Let's break this down using some quotes by Zig Zigler.  It doesn't matter what your goal is.  It could be growing your business, improving your key relationships, getting healthier or building your wealth.   The first quote.  1.You don't have to be great but you have to start to be great. If we wait until everything is perfect to start, we may never begin.  We may be setting ourselves up for failure.  I've watched entrepreneurs wait until they can completely understand the nuances of a targeted market before they​start any marketing. I've watched clients gather data and information about leads for hours before picking up the phone and having a conversation with the prospective client.  Take action, no matter how small,  and the results will follow. Listen in for some great quotes and insights to being GREAT.

Top of the morning to you my friends.Welcome my friends to this week's episode of Motivational Moments with Maria.  I am your Host, Lucky and Crazy Coach Maria. How many of you have heard the saying, you have the  “The luck of the Irish.  Do you know how that phrase came about? The origins of the ‘luck of the Irish' saying can be traced back to the late 1800's in America during the gold and silver rush. At that time, Irish and Irish Americans were some of the most successful miners to prosper and that is how the saying came to be. Let's dive deeper into that.  Was is really luck or was it, hard work, perseverance and persistence?Luck my friends is simply preparation meeting opportunity. And these “LUCKY PEOPLE” were willing to work harder and longer than others to achieve their dreams of a better life for their families.I want you to consider how this conversation plays into your daily life.Are you lucky, persistent and dogged in order to build a better life for yourself and your family? And can we create our own luck?  Believe it or not, we can influence our “luck” and reach our pot of gold.Your pot of gold is not necessarily gold coins, jewelry, money or material things as portrayed and written about in so many tales. What does the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow really mean?  It is different for everyone.  For me it is the freedom to work from anywhere, anytime and to empower and serve others to become their best selves, whatever that may be. So, in reality my friends, my pot of gold is all of you! Thank you.Listen in and as always,Stay focused, stay positive and have fun. 

Here is your question of the week. Have you ever suffered from IMPOSTER SYNDROME? Yes? Then you are in the right place as I share some insights on Imposter Syndrome and some tips to overcome that feeling. First we need to define what Imposter Syndrome is. According to Webster's Dictionary, imposter syndrome is Your persistent inability to believe that one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of your own efforts or skills. Simply put, imposter syndrome is the experience of feeling like a phony—you feel as though at any moment you are going to be found out as a fraud—like you don't belong where you are, and you only got there through dumb luck. I am sure once or twice in your life you may have given this a thought. Am I real or am I an imposter? Don't fret my friends…..you are not alone. Join me for some insights on Imposter Syndrome. 

In today's podcast episode, I want to empower, inspire, and motivate you to prioritize your well-being and discover the remarkable transformation that comes with embracing self-care. Now more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves, our mind, body, and soul. So, let's dive in and learn how to thrive this February.First, we must understand self-care.It involves finding ways to meet our physical, emotional, and mental needs in a healthy and positive way. It's essential to recognize that self-care is not a selfish act, and it is not a luxury. When we invest in ourselves, we become better versions of ourselves, and that positively affects those around us, including co-workers, family, friends, and other social circles. So, let's change the narrative around self-care and embrace it as a crucial aspect of our well-being.Self-care is not selfish; it's necessary.Listen in for some ideas on self-care. Stay focused, stay positive, and always have fun.

Today, we are diving deep into a topic that affects our well-being and the well-being of those around us: I call them the devils in our life.  They are judgment, comparison, and gossip. These three little devils can creep into our lives and wreak havoc on our happiness and our relationships.But fear not, for we hold the power to rise above these destructive behaviors and create a more compassionate and supportive world. As an experienced transformation coach, I've witnessed the negative impact of judgment, comparison, and gossip firsthand. And let me tell you, it isn't pretty.In today's episode, we'll explore the effects that judgment, comparison, and gossip have on our own well-being and the well-being of others. We'll uncover how these sneaky devils can chip away at our self-esteem, erode trust, and create a toxic environment. But remember, with awareness comes opportunity for change.To help guide your journey, I'll be sharing some practical tips and techniques to control your own judgments, embrace your unique path, and gracefully deflect gossip when it comes knocking at your door. Remember, it's not about being perfect, but about progress and growth.Listen in and as always, stay focused, stay positive and have fun.

Can you feel the excitement in the air? It's a brand-new year, a clean slate full of endless possibilities just waiting for you to seize them! Today, I want to equip you with the tools and mindset necessary to make this year your best yet.Well wait a minute. It's already mid-January and based on the conversations I have had, some of you are still just waking up and realizing it's a New Year.  So, my friends I am going to be doing a lot of repeating in this episode but with a different tone than last week.The messages always remain the same.  Perhaps you just need to hear it a little differently. Studies have demonstrated that we need to hear things 8 times before it sinks in.  I promise I won't do that.Before we dive in, take a moment to envision your dream life. What does success mean to you? What do you truly desire? Close your eyes and let that vision come to life.Now, let's make that vision a reality!Step 1: Cultivate ClarityClarity is like a lighthouse guiding your ship through stormy seas. It's crucial to know where you want to go before charting your course. Take some time to reflect on your values, passions, and goals. What truly matters to you? What ignites your soul?Here are a few questions to think about as you gain clarity.1.   What do you absolutely feel certain about in your life right now?2.   What do you value most in life right now?3.   Do you feel clear about who you are and what's important?4.   Here's my favorite question.  If I asked you to mentor someone, what would you say to them on how you became successful?Here's a tip: Journaling can be a powerful tool for gaining clarity. Write down the answers to the questions, jot down your dreams, aspirations, and what success looks like to you. Don't hold back, my friend. Dream big and let your imagination soar!Step 2: Define Your PurposeOnce you have clarity, it's time to uncover your purpose. Your purpose is your North Star, the driving force behind everything you do. It's the reason you wake up each morning, filled with enthusiasm and determination.To discover your purpose, ask yourself: What brings me joy? What am I passionate about? How can I make a difference in the lives of others? Remember, your purpose doesn't have to be grandiose. Even the smallest acts of kindness can have a profound impact.Here's an example of mine...Listen in to this week's podcast for more insights on clarity.Stay focused, stay positive and always have fun.

Welcome to a new year.  2024 is here and The New Year brings a fresh start for everyone.   We declare all these resolutions, we hit the reset button on our life, our relationships, and our careers. And that's a good thing because it's time. It's time to get your swagger back, and I don't mean that in a negative way. Swagger is simply the way you present yourself to the world.  It's the way you handle a situation.  It can be demonstrated in how you walk, talk, dress and present.  Swagger is the ability to manifest who you really are and hold on to it in the face of all the psychological crap that's going on around you. You have one face, one truth, one heart, and you show up with it no matter where you are, no matter who you're with, and no matter what's happening around you.”So, go get your swagger back so you can soar in 2024. Listen in for some questions to ponder as you embark on the New Year.  As always, stay focused, stay positive, and have fun. 

This has been a roller coaster week of laughter and tears.  The good news is that the tears were joyful ones of celebration.  I released my first book, "Put Your Big Girl Panties On" with a virtual book launch and quite honestly, I lost it.  The emotions were pent up inside and I just had to let them go!Have you ever wanted to do something and stopped yourself?  I did too.  But not this time.  This time I carried through with the commitment I made to myself. It's just like doing this weekly podcast.  I have been doing it for several years and it does require commitment and consistency and courage to show up every week for you.I want you to live a fully vibrant, energetic, and joyful life. Your comments and ideas fill my tank and allow me to keep on rolling down the highway of personal growth and development and picking up some hitchhikers on the way.I truly believe in the power of personal development and must constantly challenge and renew my energy and commitment to my clients and myself.  I have to stay in warrior mode.So here we are at the end of another glorious year. Some of you think I am off my rocker.  What was glorious about it?  Well, just about everything. We woke up on the right side of the sod, we delved into challenging ourselves to be better every day, we were a role model for others.  We did our first video on social media.  We had excellent business results. We rolled out a new marketing plan.  We attended training to better ourselves and most of all, we loved deeply and encouraged others to be better every day.Reflect on the year and the lessons you learned and before we move into 2024 I want you to declutter your mind and I am going to give you a little exercise to do that. I want you to take out a piece of paper and a pen and answer the following questions honestly.When was the last time you decluttered your kitchen cabinets?Do you regularly wear all the clothes in your closet and dressers?Can you find the screwdriver and hammer in your garage?Did you take the 1 week (or longer) old empty Starbucks cup out of the car?Did you take the week-old empty juice boxes out of the car?Are you in a rut and bored with certain aspects of your life?

No music this week, no intro, no outro.  It's a quiet moment with Coach Maria reflecting on the past few years. My voice is gravelly, my nose is stuffed (coffee hasn't kicked in yet). It's an early morning and I just took time today to really reflect on the past few years and to ask you...what's holding you back?  Is it judgement, fear of rejection, or some limiting belief.  What's next for you?  We are at the end of 2023.  Let's build something great for you in 2024.Stay focused, stay positive and always have fun.Coach Maria

I believe in the power of personal development and must constantly challenge and renew my energy and commitment to my clients and myself. December is almost upon us. Thanksgiving has passed and as we move into December I ask you this…have you looked back on the year of 2023, and said WOW...look at all I accomplished this year.Did you take time to congratulate and celebrate your successes...even if they were small wins such as learning how to use Artificial Intelligence or Facetime Live? Or maybe it was learning how to cook for yourself. We must celebrate more.  It's not about achieving the big hairy audacious goal…it's about taking steps every day to move towards the target.  It's about experiencing the journey and loving the journey. What's next for YOU?  What ambitions do you have for yourself going into 2024?  It's time to regain that zest and love for your job, career, family and fun.What do you BELIEVE is possible?  We are at the end of 2023 my friends… the end of the another year…What do YOU BELIEVE is possible for you, your career and your family.It's time..time to reimagine and take control of your life's ambitions. It's time for you to believe that anything is possible.  Am I repeating  myself……Of course.And why?Because many of you have limiting beliefs that are still holding you back. It's time to crush them and create new ones.Stay focused, stay positive, and always have fun.

My goal is to empower you to experience boundless excitement, fulfillment, and joy in every area of your life. I want you to wake up each day with the knowledge that you have shown up as your best self, regardless of the challenges that may come your way. And believe me when I say, there have been many lately. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine last week, and she posed these questions:Why do people take so long and think that others should solve their problems?  Why is it so hard to light a fire under someone's ass? When and how do you light a fire under someone's ass without appearing to be a jerk?You probably have guessed by now that it was a great discussion.It all begins with your brain.  Listen in so you better understand this concept. Stay focused, stay positive and always have fun.

I anticipate someone listening in and saying… thanks for reminding me.  It's my intention to keep you just a little more focused, energetic, disciplined, inspired, and positive I want you to experience more excitement, fulfillment, fun and joy in all areas of your life.

To all you guys...encourage the women in your life to check in!Let's start with a question or two: How many of you love to dance? Do you even like to dance?  What about music?  Do you like to listen to music?This past weekend I attended my nephew's wedding and of course I danced my heart out and I thought about today's subject. The dance analogy is so perfect.  Have you ever gone dancing and were a little reluctant to get up and do your thing to the music?  When you first get up to dance you may feel a little awkward and it takes a little bit of time to get with the rhythm of the music.  Pretty soon you find yourself feeling the music, warming up to the dance and fully immersed in your activity. You are now in the flow of the song and your body is in concert with the music.  When the next song starts up you are already in momentum and feeling the groove, and may step it up a notch. That's when your cool moves begin to show up.As the music further penetrates your soul you lose yourself in the rhythm and flow of the dance.  Time stands stills and when the song is over, you feel energized, and in some cases totally spent.  The movements are so easy and natural. You feel GREAT! You are in your natural rhythm and flow. 

Yes, you can have what you truly desire and change your life.  It was not always this way for Zehra Mahoon.  She has focused her time,  energy and passion on creating an abundant life. Listen in as she shares her story and how she has manifested her life by design using the tools and techniques from her Law of Attraction research and studies. As always, stay focused, stay positive and have fun.
