    Welcome to this season of the My Gratitude Attitude Podcast. We are entering season 3 and this comes just on the cusp of the podcast’s one year anniversary. I can’t even begin to explain to you how many life changing things that have take place for me since starting on this journey.  I am so grateful and feel very privileged to have had the honour of meeting and interviewing some of the most incredible people, in my opinion, who are changing this world through their commitments to the earth, to humanity and by being grateful along the way. If you haven’t heard season 1 or 2 I strongly encourage you to circle back and check out some of the many amazing episodes that will truly serve up so much motivation, inspiration and of course gratitude.  As we enter into this new chapter in 2020 I want to pause and take a few moments to challenge you about some limiting beliefs that I hope you will leave behind as we move forward.  Consider this - what do you tell yourself about yourself that is keeping you small. What are you telling yourself that is keeping you from potentially missing out on living the life of your dreams?  I challenge you to take some time to really think this through, maybe journal about it and decide what limiting beliefs you’re going to leave behind in the last decade. And instead, what new beliefs about yourself are you going to solidify so that you can be the best possible version of yourself in 2020?  Links: www.mygratitudeattitude.com My Gratitude Attitude Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/314966379339575/ To find out more about our wonderful sponsor: Rasa Koffee:  Enter Gratitude to receive 20% Off of Your First Order.

Have you ever said “I’d love to do that but I just don’t have time right now?”  I know I have.  But I have a question for you - do you really not have time to do the things that you love or that bring you joy?  In this week’s episode, the point is to strive to create more time for the things you want to do and that bring you joy.

    Think that feminism is something that only activists can practice? Think that being a feminist means being anti men? Think again! Thordis Elva, renowned TED speaker, author and Activist gives us insight on how to add feminist practices to our daily lives. One particularly great take away was how to incorporate this notion with our kids. If you follow Thordis on Instagram you will get a glimpse into the way that she raises her three boys and especially her eldest son Frey who has more than once stood up to bullies at school because of inequality towards girls in his class.  What I love about Thordis is her passion and brilliance for these huge issues and also her ability to share her vulnerabilities in real life and being a mom to five kids and also her sense of humour. If you haven’t already listened to her incredible interview all about the unbelievable story of her twin baby boys, bed rest and their premature birth then head back to episode 32 and hear her amazing story about how social media helped carry her through this really difficult time in her life.  Today is a big topic but so important to talk about.

    This week's episode is in honor of the veterans for Remembrance Day and anyone globally who has been affected by war. When I think about Remembrance Day, I think about the people who willingly signed up for some of the most treacherous, dangerous and uncomfortable duties and jobs and how they did it with pride and enthusiasm knowing that they were heading into something that was greater than them on an individual scale. My grandpa was part of a generation that selflessly marched off to war with pride and honor.   Let's remember those incredibly resilient and brave souls who marched into the great wars but also for those wars since and ongoing. Let us remember those who have been affected by generational trauma and PTSD as the residual effects are brought back with the veterans. Let us not judge or scoff at those modern day warriors who are choosing to champion sacrifice and soldier on for a cause greater than themselves. Let's remember that when we decide to show up for something, that we do it with pride and honor the way that our grandparents did.  Links www.mygratitudeattitude.com My Gratitude Attitude Facebook Group If you enjoyed this podcast, please like, comment, or share with a friend; and tune in next time for more game changing tips on the My Gratitude Attitude Podcast!

If you have ever felt overwhelmed at work, this episode is essential to gain insight and understanding about what is going on inside and when to access support.

We often just think that we are stressed at work but the truth is our bodies and minds are paying the price. Once we gain a better understanding of what is going on we can start to move forward to healing our stress and overwhelm and get back to doing what we do best which is teaching! Diane is a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Yoga Teacher with a private practice in Owen Sound, Ontario, offering her Yoga-Informed Psychotherapy. She also provides online consulting to support bodyworkers and other healers in navigating their own personal work to cultivate healthy therapeutic relationships, expand scope of practice and increase effectiveness in client-related work.  Diane is particularly passionate about nervous system health, healing from trauma and cultivating resiliency against compassion fatigue.

    35. Shut Up About Gratitude Already!

    Shut up about Gratitude Already!  Okay, so here is the thing I need to address before we get going too far into season 2. You guys I cannot believe the amount of people in my life who I absolutely LOVE and adore, like I’m talking they are my friends and family who don’t even listen to my podcast because they think it’s too positive and happy and that they just can’t live up to it.  Oh my GOSH you guys! I need to clear this whole misconception up!  Yes the title of the podcast is My Gratitude Attitude but dude, that does NOT mean that we are all about perfection and positivity over here! No freakin’ way!  I am all about realistic expectations people.  But here’s the thing. This summer I received one of the most touching direct messages through facebook by a gal who had attended our emPOWERed Rest Retreat earlier this year and she literally asked me and my sister if there was something special about us because we seemed to always have a positive perspective on things. She believed that she was a negative person and didn’t have it in her to change her mindset and wanted to know our thoughts on this.  I was so flattered that she thinks I have a positive mindset because I work REALLY hard at this almost hourly - like I’m not joking. But also I had to write her back straight away and clear up this myth about me and the positivity thing.  Here is the truth. There was about a ten year span in my life starting in my late teens running into my mid-twenties where I was miserable and so negative. I thought that I was too cool for any of the positivity stuff and that it was all hocus pocus. I honestly did not even TRUST a person who seemed too cheery and positive. If you had told my mid-twenty year old self that in ten years time I would be recording a podcast about gratitude and other mindset shifting stuff I would literally have laughed in your face and probably flipped you the bird.  I hate that it took some really challenging and life threatening stuff to shake my brain into this space but truthfully that is what did it. If you don’t know the whole story head back to the first episode of season 1 to get a better understanding of why I chose gratitude and how my life view shifted, but the list of it is that we had major health scares with both my mom and my sister and I realized that life is too short to waste feeling shitty or being negative. We have NO clue how long we are here on this planet for a) and b) this planet that we are here on is pretty freakin’ spectacular and if you don’t believe me go and book a trip to somewhere you’ve always wanted to go or if that’s not possible then check out a planet earth episode or just go to youtube and search “amazing things about planet earth”. Like, we literally get to be here one time that we know of, and I just realized that there is so much beauty and wonder and awe here that I wanted to live my life looking through that lens so I ditched the whole negativity thing. I ditched being super judgy of other people and places and instead I leaned into seeing the best in people and trying to find the silver lining in situations. Does that mean that I don’t acknowledge or understand that there are really crappy things going on on our planet? Absolutely not. I am fully aware of it. But I am realistic and this is how - I know that if I continuously dwell on the negative events or injustices that take place here on earth that I will be of absolutely no service to others because my own depression and anxiety will take over. So, instead I have chosen to work extremely hard at changing my own brain chemistry using tips and strategies that I share in both season one and two in order to better myself and you so that we can serve this world with our gifts and unique talents. And honestly that is one of my favourite things about this podcast is that we really examine different practical ways that we can physically and mentally change your thought patterns. I mean how freaking cool is that??? Who would have thought that you can change your brain?! In the same way that you can tone a muscle and change it’s shape you can do this to your brain and your own thoughts, beliefs and habits. I truly think that this fact is REMARKABLE and in this way, I whole heartedly believe that we can change this world. So, I hope that you are with me. I hope that you agree with me that realistically, life is just so much more enjoyable when you’re feeling happy and joyful and are able to have a laugh instead of dwelling on the negative. I hope that if you are struggling to get to that place that you know that you are NOT alone and that I am totally here to support you with this podcast and my mentorship program. I know that you have unique and special gifts within you that want to shine through, so stick with me, do the work and have fun along the way!  I cannot wait for season 2 to get rolling!

    I recently went to an event called the Atelier where I heard a number of inspirational entrepreneurial women speak and one of those women happened to be Melissa Leong. Now Melissa is the financial adviser to The Social and has been featured on many media outlets and has written for the financial post. She had such great wisdom to share that I bought her book at the conference and even stood in line like a groupie to have her sign it!   As soon as I saw what she wrote in my book I was so excited to dig into the pages - she signed it Make Life Rich. And I just knew that somehow gratitude would be somewhere in her book. I was right.   Now yes you could take stock of all of the “things you have” but in Leong’s book Happy Go Money she doesn’t point us in that direction. In fact, she touts study after study that demonstrate that true happiness comes from social connections and community with others.  If you enjoyed this podcast, please like, comment, or share with a friend; and tune in next time for more game changing tips on My Gratitude Attitude!

    In this brain changing episode, Lindsay shares how the intention of gratitude propels you into the very things you want to bring into your life. Listen-in to hear how a highly visual mindset can either 'make it' or 'break it' in getting us to our goals. When we visualize things, we can do one of two things: we can perpetuate fear, worry, or upset or... we can focus on visualizing the very things that we want to draw into our lives.  We really do have the power to attract what we want into our lives with the perspective that we choose to focus upon! “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” - Henry Ford  Find out more about our wonderful sponsors: Rasa Koffee: http://www.mygratitudeattitude.com/rasa.html  Prana Vida: https://www.pranavidastyle.com Sign up for Mom and Baby Yoga with MOGA Use coupon code GRATITUDE to receive 20% off of the online mommy and baby yoga. https://mogamoms.vhx.tv   You can find Lindsay Lesage at www.mygratitudeattitude.com and our private Facebook Group.

    “My life’s philosophy is to treat all beings with love, kindness and compassion for we are all connected and deserve equal respect.”  —Jewels I am so so grateful to have Jewels Wilkinson on the podcast today. She is one of those human beings that you instantly want to stand next to so that you can try and absorb some of the light and good energy that is coming out of her. I first met her in Sweden at a 109 World Women’s Yoga Retreat and we later traveled to Denmark together with a bunch of the other girls from the group. The unexpected death of her father made Jewels realize how short life is and that she no longer wanted fear to run her life. So Jewels achieved her dream of becoming a yoga teacher. Her personal struggles and healing taught her how resilient the human soul is and inspired her to help others find their truest authentic selves through the connection of the mind, body and soul with yoga and meditation. She has a fascinating story and has found so much gratitude in some really really difficult struggles. Let’s a deep breath in and a long exhale out and we’ll hear from Jewels herself.   You can find Jewels Wilkinson at @gypseafullofjewels You can find Lindsay Lesage at www.mygratitudeattitude.com and our private Facebook Group.
