Think of this episode as a self-empowering energy drink. We talked about learning the most from the unexpected lessons in life, creating a self-empowering mindset, how to take the wisdom that we've gained in life so far and using that to write our next chapter, how to tap into our unique brilliance, the damaging effects of auto-pilot in our life, how the words we use are spells, how sometimes we call it our comfort zone, but it's really our convenience zone, and when it comes to our life and to our potential we need to not just think outside the box. We need to throw the box away.

We sometimes hold ourselves back from our most authentic lives because we fear how others might respond. Will they feel hurt? Left behind? Or will we let them down if we choose a different path for ourselves than what they want for us? The only way we let someone down is to NOT be true to ourselves.  In this 6-minute episode, I share how I learned this and why I believe it is the MOST important gift we can give to others.

Part of being human is experiencing love, happiness, joy, and, we all go through those times of grief, disappointment, or simply unmet expectations. When that happens, it's what we do next that matters the most because that determines if and how fast we find our way back to grace and joy or if we continue to find more disappointment and negativity.  In this conversation, my guest, Deborah Covell Fletcher, and I talk about how we can intentionally find joy, grace and acceptance in life, how we can exercise choice – even when it's tough, the power of humor to lift us up and that when we put our attention on the negative – that's what we get more of.  Deborah Covell Fletcher is an adult educator, author, speaker, and mom of twin daughters. She is the author "Finding Your Hey! !: A crash course in braving grief and embracing joy,” and an advocate for her daughter who lives with multiple disabilities.

We often feel the need to slow down, but the pressures and responsibilities of life keep us moving fast. It can feel like a never-ending treadmill where the speed keeps getting turned up faster and faster. The problem is that we aren't going anywhere new; we are stuck running in place. The best answers are found in the quiet. In this episode, I share when I knew I could no longer ignore the message to slow down – and what I learned immediately!  Follow Bobbi at: Sign up for Bobbi's free newsletter, Find Your Forward and receive her free 5-day email course, Find Your Forward Fundamentals here: https://www.bobbikahler.com/newsletterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbikahler/

Somewhere along the line dreading Monday mornings became the norm. But does it really have to be that way? Should it be that way? Or does your life deserve better than that? My guest, Jerry Aliberti, made the courageous choice to go after more than that for his life. Tune in to this episode for inspiration and insights that will help you on your journey. Among the highlights from this episode: 1.We are the story that we tell ourselves. Those stories are written over the course of our lifetime, and we need to be careful about which ones we believe and repeat because they become our reality.2.At a point, Jerry realized that other people were the ones making decisions that affected the quality of his life and the quality of his family's life. And he knew he had to change that.  3.Jerry said that “comfort almost destroyed him.” It can be so easy to be lured into what's comfortable and then stay there. I loved Jerry's awareness of how he had stopped learning and growing and that to change his life, he'd have to step out of his comfort zones. It's amazing how many times that comes up in these interviews.  4.Finally, and maybe most importantly, why have we bought into the notion that it's okay and acceptable to dread Mondays? What if you didn't have to? Links: linkedin.com/in/jerry-alibertiemail: jerry@pro-accel.comFollow Bobbi at: Sign up for Bobbi's free newsletter, Find Your Forward and receive her free 5-day email course, Find Your Forward Fundamentals here: https://www.bobbikahler.com/newsletterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbikahler/

For many of us, grit is a super power. We can push through anything -- and we are proud of that. And it helps us succeed. When grit goes unchecked and it is never balanced with grace towards ourselves, it can send us into dangerous territory.  Follow Bobbi at: Sign up for Bobbi's free newsletter, Find Your Forward and receive her free 5-day email course, Find Your Forward Fundamentals here: https://www.bobbikahler.com/newsletterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbikahler/

As we move from the striving part of our life and we enter into our 50s and beyond, we have the amazing opportunity to shift away from the “shoulds” that ruled us for too long. In this conversation, with my guest, Angel V. Shannon, in the first half of the conversation we cover things like how to own your health and be your own advocate (or the advocate for a loved one), and then the second part of the conversation we talk about how to make yourself – and specifically time for yourself – a priority, how we can begin to shift away from our “should” life and how the second stage of our life has the potential to be the best time of our life.Links: http://sevahealthgroup.com/retreat/ http://www.linktr.ee/sevahealthhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/angelvshannon/ Follow Bobbi at: Sign up for Bobbi's free newsletter, Find Your Forward and receive her free 5-day email course, Find Your Forward Fundamentals here: https://www.bobbikahler.com/newsletterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbikahler/

Choice = Freedom. I believe that we always have choice. Even when we are facing a brick wall or a tough situation. There is choice in there somewhere. We might not like the choices or we may wish that we had different choices, but that doesn't mean that choice doesn't exist. The powerful thing about recognizing where we have choice is that it leads us to our next step, which represents action and action leads to learning and momentum. Even failed action leads to learning.  This episode shares how small, micro-choices can lead to big unintended and undesirable results. And, how we can turn it around.  Follow Bobbi at: Sign up for Bobbi's free newsletter, Find Your Forward and receive her free 5-day email course, Find Your Forward Fundamentals here: https://www.bobbikahler.com/newsletterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbikahler/

When that happened to my guest today, David Green, he decided to make big life changes. He went from being in the music and film business in Hollywood to moving to Israel and becoming a Rabbi. In this episode, David shares how to get in touch with our true inner self – who we are in our soul. He calls it the journey to the real you.  In this episode, we talk about that journey,  as well asHow our inner voice already knows what's best for you, we just have to learn to hear itThat there is a treasure to be found inside of all of us, Bouncing back from mistakes and failuresAnd the most reassuring thing that I've ever heard about finding your purpose. Links & Guest Bio: http://www.Realyouproject.comhttps://www.realyouproject.com/test David's bio to be included in show notes: ABOUT DAVID For over 30 years David has been teaching topics such as individuality and soul awareness.  He has helped his students deal with issues such as loneliness, self-esteem, inner awareness, making major life choices, how to find your soulmate, and more. ​ David spent time in the Hollywood music business as a songwriter at the young age of 16. He then studied music composition and Indiana U in Bloomington. After a lot of questioning, he went to Israel to find himself and a more soulful expression of his music. He found both by learning an array of topics about spiritual growth. Years later he received his rabbinical ordination while studying at the Mir yeshiva.  David wrote his first book, A Book about You, which helps people find their individuality and soul awareness.  Everyone has a different personality and meaningful path to achieve greatness in this world. He wrote an album called Journey to the Real You. The songs and lyrics are woven throughout his first book with QR codes connecting the reader to the songs being quoted.  A big part of knowing who you are is knowing what you are. By knowing that the soul is the most essential part of who you are, it will contribute to the “journey to the real you.”  David's new book, “Pictures of your soul” takes you back to that basic question and explores the beauty of your soul and how to grow, even from a very low place, should someone be struggling with their spiritual awareness and identity.  As an artist, David has also spent time in the film industry. He won a CableACE award, the Cannes Film Festival for Deadly Currents and the Health and Medical film festival for a movie starring Martin Short which was distributed by Disney. For his livelihood, David invents and patents technology. Living in Israel, he is happily married with 8 kids and 16 grandchildren. Follow Bobbi at: Sign up for Bobbi's free newsletter, Find Your Forward and receive her free 5-day email course, Find Your Forward Fundamentals here: https://www.bobbikahler.com/newsletterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bobbikahler/
