Reframe It! Mindset Motivation Podcast

In this bonus episode, I share personal thoughts about my faith journey and the U.S. election. See transcript for full dialogue.

Yes, this week's episode, The Doors, is where we will close Season 2 of the RIMM podcast. Remember, The Doors will pull details from The Orchard, so if you haven't listened to that episode already, do that first! For the next few months, I will be developing another podcast show, so ending Season 2 of RIMM now will give me the time needed to thoughtfully execute it. Stay tuned! Still, make sure to keep your subscription to RIMM active! You will not only be alerted when RIMM returns in 2021, but will also be aware of any bonus episodes I may throw out there if the spirit leads me ... ;) Until then ... be safe, be wise, be mindful of others ...

No short story this week, my friends. Instead, I bring you another guest interview episode!

I invite you to not only listen carefully to the conversation, but I also challenge you to find out how you too can advocate for racial reconciliation in your area. *** Micki Webb has over two decades of school district experience and three years ago started her own company. Now, she’s a coach/consultant showing other educators how to emancipate themselves from district salary schedules by starting their own immediately profitable businesses.

Weekly Stories will resume on Tuesday, July 7. Any new interviews (not yet conducted), TBD. Questions? Feel free to ask me on social media @EricaRMaier ReframeItMindsetMotivation.com
