YOUR STORY IS A LEGACY with Rosanna Giacalone - Life Story Guide, Spiritual Healer, Joy & Beauty Creator

Good morning Beautiful Soul,   Are you looking for your life partner?  You may be divorced or, you may be single, but what should you look for in "The One"?  I hear from so many people that had great relationship chemistry in the beginning that it fizzled out.  So, I interviewed 20 couples who had 50+ years of a self-described beautiful marriage and asked them what made their relationship work and stand the test of time.  I also asked them if it was love at first sight and you will be surprised when I answer almost half of them (9 to be exact) told me no. Listen in, even if you are married to the words of advice and wisdom from these incredible couples...one of them is actually about to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.    I hope this inspires you if you are searching for or leaning into your own beautiful marriage. Until next week, I send you so much light and love, Rosanna

Hello Beautiful Soul, It takes one voice to galvanize other voices into action to start social change in this world.  The kind of change can help solve world problems. How can you be a part of this great movement?  In this week's episode, I talk about an incredible movie I just saw called, "Uncharitable" on this very topic and help you ways to discover the causes that you are most passionate about and the talents you have to have to use in this world. I can't wait to hear your stories.  Please post them in our wonderful private Facebook community: My Magnus Opus Community. Until next week, I'm sending you so much light and love, Rosanna  

Good morning Beautiful Souls, I heard an inspiring prayer the other day and there was a line in it that stuck in my head.  The priest said, “Right thoughts lead to right actions and right actions lead to right living.” I rewound that line on my drive home from the service and asked myself if I had right thoughts which of course, I interpreted as positive thoughts and the answer was yes. So let's this episode down into 3 parts of right or positive thinking: Number 1) What is positive thinking? Number 2) How can we achieve it? And Number 3) What are the benefits of positive thinking? If you are a negative thinker, or practice negative self-talk, you can change your behaviors with practice. If you are positive thinker, this will be a good reminder when it is one of those times you are really stuck and need a good reset. Until next week, I'm sending you so much light and love, Rosanna In this episode

Hello Beautiful Soul, Happy gearing up for Fall Monday!  By now, your kids are back in school, you've taken the Fall clothes out and maybe you're even thinking about a fresh start.  One of the things I am doing this Fall is teaching two of my nieces about Personal Finance.  This idea stemmed out of a conversation with my newly married niece who will be a first-time home buyer and also with my college-age niece who I always teach the importance of being financially independent. Why is this important for your children to know and how does it help keep you on your financial toes?  Listen in as we cover these topics. And, as always, I invite you to share your thoughts, tips and comments in our private community of like-minded inspiring individuals by going to: My Magnus Opus Community on Facebook. And until next week, I send you so much light and love, Rosanna

Hello Beautiful Soul, Are you feeling alone or lonely?  There is a big difference between the two. We are alone by choice or by circumstance, but we feel lonely based on how we interpret our situation. And ,if we feel lonely, this often makes us feel despondent and can eventually lead to depression.  So, what are things we can do to help us with these feelings.  Listen in, and I will tell you three ways to get started. Feel free to share any of your own methods to ameliorate feelings of loneliness by going to our private facebook community: mymagnusopus or send me an email at: hi@mymagnusopus.com.  Until next week, I'm sending you so much light and love, Rosanna

Good morning Beautiful Soul,   Conflict.  It's something we deal with throughout our lives.  And, more often than not, we don't deal with it in a constructive way. We may blow up as a result of the conflict, avoid the person or, even ignore the situation we are fighting about hoping it will blow over. And as we know, these techniques do not work for a long term solution. The secret to successfully resolving conflict is to really listen to the other and process what you say through your heart. We dig a lot deeper into this subject in this week's podcast. So, listen in, and I would appreciate if you are moved by something you hear, please leave a 5 star review on Itunes so that others who may need to may receive this free gift too. Until next week, I'm sending you so much light and love, Rosanna Feel free to dm me: @mymagnusopus Or send me an email: hi@mymagnusopus.com And finally, join in a group of likeminded inspiring individuals by going to Facebook and joining our private Community: MyMagnusOpus.

Good morning Beautiful Soul, Over the years, I've been blessed to learn the extraordinary lives others were living but had not shared with others –not even their children.  It has been such a gift to be able to ask the right questions to get people to open up and speak about themselves.  Ultimately, that is what gave birth to my passion driven company which is called, “My Magnus Opus” The Greatest Story Ever Told –Yours”. Most people I've spoken to through the years agreed that they wanted to make a connection to something that was bigger and more enduring than their own lives.  They wanted a meaningful and lasting legacy that could help capture and guide their lives and live on with their children, family and future generations. For this episode, I will give you a free resource to use to start to shape your own life story that may even we will work on a thinking and writing exercise that will help you to do just that -begin to leave your legacy.  It will likely lead to the self-actualization of the gifts you were born with to use in this world.  The writing guide prompts I use in this podcast can be downloaded as a free resource by going to: www.mymagnusopus.com And until next week, I'm sending you so much light and love, Rosanna

Good morning Beautiful Soul, Are you living the life of your dreams?  I have heard time and time again from people of all ages that they are not where they thought they should be.  What if I told you that no matter if you are 20 or 60 or what your circumstances are that you can live the life of your dreams. It all starts with the Law Of Attraction.  What is that?  How do we use it? Today we are going to talk about it along with 10 practical steps to help you live the life of your dreams. Are you ready?  Press Play and Let's Get Started. Until next week, I'm sending you so much light and love, Rosanna I would love for you to share your dream life vision in our private My Magnus Opus Facebook Community where other like-minded storytellers share their hopes and dreams: https://www.facebook.com/groups/208893414558662/ You may also reach out to me if you have any questions: hi@mymagnusopus.com and if you'd like a private coaching session with me, you may sign up for one here: https://www.mymagnusopus.com/coaching Resources From This Episode - Five inspirational books that help me create my dream life: 1) Mirror Work - Louise Hay  2) The Power Of Now - Eckhardt Tolle 3) Awaken The Giant Within - Tony Robbins 4) Principles - Ray Dalio 5) Tribe of Mentors - Tim Ferriss  

Good morning Beautiful Soul, I have to say, there are certain topics that I get a few questions on and then there are others that there are so many, I know it is a topic that I have to cover.  Spotting Red Flags in relationships was one of those topics.  The questions started with a number of followers talking about the sad endings of romantic relationships - be it an engagement, a marriage, or a long term love interest - even though every follower admitted that if they were honest with themselves the red flags were always there.  Other emails came in talking about friendships that showed red flags and still others talked about emotionally draining work situations where they chose to ignore the red flags. So, I decided I would dedicate this show to spotting red flags and what we need to do to deal with them in order to protect ourselves and keep us in the healthy relationships we deserve in all areas of our lives. Let me know your thoughts on this podcast since I would love to hear from you: hi@mymagnusopus.com. And until next week, I send you so much light and love, Rosanna

Good morning Beautiful Soul, I used to think I had to look like I had it all together.  Everything had to be just right -- from my marriage to my family to my career to my home and the list went on.  The truth is, it was rarely all together.  None of that truth changed except the fact that I was finally comfortable enough in my own skin to admit how many times and how many things I can and do get wrong. What I didn't realize is what a gift admitting that would be not only for myself, but for the kids that looked up to me, those that looked to me as a role model, my peers, my friends and almost everyone around me.  Without sharing my vulnerabilities, they were afraid to share theirs.  And with vulnerability, I could not graciously receive help. I have come to learn I am strongest when I feel my most weak.  For, it is in that state, I get to lean into God and not rely on my own strength or knowledge. I also accept help from others.  What a blessing a perceived weakness truly is.   I hope this podcast episode gives you permission to be open about yours and recognize how strong you truly are!   Until next week, I'm sending you so much love, Rosanna   Join us in our private Facebook Community at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/208893414558662/ Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mymagnusopus/?hl=en Or send me a personal email at: hi@mymagnusopus.com since I would love to hear from you!            

Good morning Beautiful Soul, At some point, or for many of us, at several points during our lives, the romantic relationships we are involved in come to an end.  Rarely does it end in a smooth way where you both just decide it's time to move on and go your separate ways.  Instead, in almost all instances it involves grieving and separation process. This applies not only to the couples that have been fighting or taking breaks from each other but also for the couples who have just remained together “settling” in a relationship that isn't best for either of them because they did not want to face the prospect of dating again. The process of splitting up isn't easy since bonds we've formed with serious partners make it hard to imagine life without them.  But, there comes a time when if we listen to your heart or God's voice, we know it is time for a new chapter. And the new chapter is better because we emerge with a stronger sense of self and learn lessons that will serve us in our next and often better and healthier relationship. I have spoken to so many people as they went through break-ups and divorces, plus I've had my own share of them.  We discussed the ways we coped and got through to the other side of the split. On the other side of these break-ups we discussed what the best things were that we did to help us through the process.  Everyone had a bunch of suggestions but there were 6 that we could all agree on so I thought these would be great to share with you. I hope these help get you through this difficult time. Remember, you are not alone.  Join our supportive private community on Facebook: My Magnus Opus Community or email me: hi@mymagnusopus.com. Until next week I send you so much light and love, Rosanna

What comes to your mind when I say those words?  New chapters… Is it excitement, anxiety, fear or some combination of those feelings? I've been through many chapters in my life and every time I close a chapter, there are 4 things I do to prepare for the new one.  I want to share those with you since I'm about to embark upon a new journey myself. Until next week, I send you so much light and love, Rosanna

Good morning Beautiful Soul, Do you truly love yourself?  Do you know how to love yourself?  I started my self-love journey years ago when I stumbled upon the work of an incredible spiritual teacher and healer named Louise Hay.   Fast forward, I had the pleasure of working in Jennifer Lopez's company a year ago and was amazed to learn that she too did the mirror work prescribed by Louise Hay and it marked incredible transformations in her life and receiving from the Universe things she had dreamed of that had eluded her in the past. Listen in on how to get started with this transformative practice. Until next week, I'm sending you so much light and love, Rosanna

Good morning Beautiful Soul, I hope you had a wonderful Easter and Passover.  If you are not celebrating either of these Holidays, let me invite you into the sadness and ultimate triumph and celebration each of these holidays bring. They both end in a time of redemption; a time for second chances, a time to be freed of our sins. There is a Psalm I read at the start of Holy Week which began last Sunday.  It reads: “Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” During this season of Spring and rebirth, it seems only appropriate that we should, repent ask for forgiveness and be cleansed whiter than snow. Imagine the purity and beauty for a moment of unblemished snow and ask yourself what it is you need to be forgiven and cleansed for?  What habit has prevented you from being all you are called to be?

Good morning Beautiful Soul, Does your life seem simple or, do you find it  filled with "stuff" that is not aligned with your values?  Stuff that fills your home. Stuff that fills your mind.  Even stuff that fills your schedule. One of the key concepts in Zen Buddhism aims at enlightenment through meditation.  You can visually see what our minds should look like if you look at a Zen Garden where there is an abundance of empty space.  That empty space is uncluttered and pristine.  The same should be true of our environments and schedules.

  Hello Beautiful Soul, As many of you know, I help people tell their extraordinary life stories.  It is an incredible process to see them step back in third person to marvel at all that they are and have been through -the highs and the lows.  So, I bet you are wondering “What does decluttering and discarding have to do with the story telling process?” Well, everything.  What I mean by that is that we don't get to write a new chapter until we let go of the things that no longer serve us and that is everything from a past, we don't need to play over and over and patterns we don't need to repeat to clothes we no longer wear in a lifestyle we no longer live.

Good morning Beautiful Soul, We often think about how we can teach and positively influence our children important lessons and boundaries they need to know.  In actuality, especially as they get older, we can learn so much from them simply by listening to them with our full attention. And we learn for this most important reason.  They have less baggage than we are bringing to any particular topic, so we get to hear their approach to handling it which is a much purer response.  More from the heart than the head.  And there is so much wisdom in the words.  They just may point you to an answer to something you have been working on. I hope you'll continue this discussion and share something you've learned from one of the incredible children in your life in our private Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/208893414558662/about/ And if you've truly enjoyed the show, I would so appreciate it if you could pass it along to a friend or leave a 5 star review so others can find this show.

Good morning Beautiful Soul, How often have you said, “Oh, I've made so many mistakes, but they were part of my journey.”  And, while you've believed those words, it did not mean that there haven't been days where you've woken up and cried or yelled out because your life wasn't full of all the dreams and aspirations you had that haven't yet come to be and you are not sure why.  You ask yourself, was it because of self-will, ignoring God's voice or some external factor that created a terrible circumstance?  Beautiful Soul, I've been there. And yet, I have always believed a line from a meditation…that as long as I still have breath, God can turn things around.  And it is for this reason, I am hopeful every day and I lean in closer to hear his voice. Listen in to today's Episode to learn how to hear what God wants to speak to the world through us and, if you'd like to keep the conversation going, join our private Facebook Community of likeminded legacy storytellers by going to: My Magnus Opus Community. https://www.facebook.com/groups/208893414558662 You can also follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymagnusopus/?hl=en And, you can always send me an email at: hi@mymagnusopus.com.  I would love to hear from you!

Good morning Beautiful Soul, As I was thinking about what I wanted to share with you today, the topic of childlike wonder was placed upon my heart. I thought about the frantic, fast pace lives we are living attached to our cell phones, juggling demands of family, careers and financial pursuits and thought, isn't it obvious why many of us have lost our sense of childlike wonder? What can we consciously do to make sure we build this into our lives?  How can we be more in tune with our imagination, the beauty of the world and the people who we love and come in contact with in our daily lives? This thinking led me to put a list together.  A list that we can all program into our weekly schedule for those times we go into autopilot and lose a little bit of that joyous color of life. The list includes 6 ways to awaken your childlike wonder.  To learn more, listen in. And, if you'd like to continue the dialog, please join our private Facebook Community: My Magnus Opus Community. Until next week, I wish you love & laughter always, Rosanna

Long distance relationships are part of life and certainly part of adulthood.  It seems as we get older and develop families of our own, we split off into our own “pods” and it is harder to get together with our family of origin. Similarly, we see this with our closest friends.  We are all living in different places and have different demands placed on our time and emotional bandwidth. What if I told you that no matter how far away you are from each other or how busy you are, there are special ways to connect with family and closest friends to keep your relationships strong. Each of these ideas requires planning, time and in some instances creativity. Tune in to today's podcast to learn 10 ways to stay connected with the ones you love.   And, I hope you'll continue the discussion by sharing ways you stay connected in our private Facebook Community at: My Magnus Opus Community or send us a comment on Instagram@mymagnusopus.

We have often learned in our culture that the word surrender means the opposite of victory.  It is a sign of weakness; of giving up in the face of an enemy and submitting to their authority.  In actuality, Surrender is victory since it becomes something we willingly do when we turn our ego and self-will over to a force greater than us.  That force can be God, our higher self, or the universe. And in this state, we experience breakthroughs we're hoping for or something better (even if it doesn't seem that way at first).  It is this It is the force we surrender to that I believe has a better life planned for me. So, how do we get to this place of surrender?  What does it look like?  How do we sustain it? Those questions will be answered in this episode.
