My Journey. I started my journey long before I quit my career as a District Attorney. There were lots of little moments that lead up to big life decisions. As I continue to redefine success, achievement, and living my best life I still use the three words framework to figure out what that is. This interview with my friend Hal Elrod on the Achieve Your Goals podcast was one of the first ‘big’ podcast interviews that I did. It felt like a turning point for me. Hal was a gracious friend and mentor to me as I was finding my legs as an entrepreneur. If you haven’t read the Miricle Morning it’s accessible and affirming! His own journey is inspiring. I hope you enjoy the interview and I would love to hear your 3 words.  Links & Resources Check out HAL (https://halelrod.com/) Check out The Miracle Morning FOR FREE!

Episode 13 is all about self-care and how to find more happiness in life. Listeners are encouraged to break out of ruts and routines to find more meaning and satisfaction in life. Alexa and Hannah talk about self-care.  Before discussing self-care, they follow up on feedback they've received from previous episodes. Listeners are thanked for providing feedback and are encouraged to communicate their continued feedback with the show--good and bad. Hannah introduces the Wheel of Abundance exercise, a tool she often uses. She notes that many different coaches and books use a similar tool, and she explains that she's categorized the tool in a new way with different spokes and labels. Hannah describes the Wheel of Abundance/ Life Assessment Tool, and suggests that it's one good tool for assessing happiness in life. She suggests that listeners rate their lives on a scale of 1-10 in the following areas: 1) Friendship: Community, Connection, Relationships 2) Family: Family Relationships, Community, Connection 3) Marriage: Partnership, Romantic Relationship, Primary Relationship 4) Intimacy: Sexual Health, Touch, Affection, Connection, Vulnerability 5) Spirituality: Faith, Connection to Source, Meaning, Purpose 6) Stuff: Physical environment, House, Car, Clothes, Shoes, Things 7) Job: Career, Profession, Fulfillment 8) Finances: Earnings, Savings, Investments, Retirement, Savings 9) Adventure: Fun, Play, Travel, Creativity 10) Giving Back: Being of service, Contributing, Volunteering, Giving 11) Learning and Personal Development: Reading, Therapy, Coaching, Classes, Languages, New learning 12) Heath: Physical health, Mental health, Dental health, Body awareness and acceptance 13) Relationship with Self: Ability to enjoy being alone 14) Wellness: Happiness, Wellbeing, Satisfaction Hannah suggests drawing a circle and segmenting the circle into 14 "slices", labeling each slice with one of the 14 above-listed categories, and then charting the corresponding level of satisfaction, noting levels of satisfaction in each slice. Alexa points out that it's important to look at our values and see how our values align with these categories. Hannah suggests listing personal values in the middle of the pie as described above. Hannah shares a tool she learned in a coaching program where she was encouraged to track her time. She shares the experience and encourages others to track time, by noting which activities you are engaged in, in 15 minute intervals throughout the day. Hannah and Alexa debate iPhone's new time-tracking feature. They discuss how time spent on their phones and on social media has both positive and negative implications. Hannah shares a game she plays each day: Instagram Roulette, where she logs onto Instagram and finds the first positive post she sees, using that message as an inspiration for the day. She plays the game live on the show and shares the post she finds, which reads, "We are not in debt to the people who choose to love us" from @fierceselfcompassion.  Hannah and Alexa share information about giving and unspoken expectations. They talk about scorekeeping, expectations, selfishness, and traps many couples fall into.  They then define and describe self-care: "the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health, how well are you taking care of yourself." Hannah shares her analogy of comparing self-care to car care and maintenance. She explains that it's not the job of other people to take care of us. As she says, "it is all of our jobs and responsibilities to take care of our selves and our happiness and our lives." Hannah shares her number one suggestion for improving happiness: identifying gratitude. She shares a tool for finding gratitude. The two also suggest other tips that might be used to start this process: auditing a diet and exercise routine, limiting sugar and caffeine, incorporating more movement, eating more greens and vegetables and nutrients by including green juice, drinking more water, limiting alcohol, addressing sleep issues, incorporating meditation, using yoga, saying no, setting boundaries, auditing commitments, quitting mindless activities like watching tv during other activities, evaluating how you spend your time, delegating activities like cleaning, laundry and trash, asking for your help, finding a sacred time ritual or morning routine, incorporating gratitude, using affirmations, and prioritizing self-care. Hannah also discusses the importance of a heathy morning routine. She shares about her personal morning routine.  Hannah and Alexa remind listeners that life is short, and that it's important to find happiness and satisfaction in life, and that self-care is a tool to accomplish this.

His determination and grit to achieve success are inspiring. His journey trul is a glory story. Marquel is from the hood in Atlanta Georgia. He didn’t have positive male role models growing up. He looked up to and emulated gangsters and drug dealers, even Pablo Escobar. Marquel’s early walk on the wild side landed him in jail. He was in lockup at 19 when his first child was born. How did he turn things around, write an awesome new story, and live into it? That’s what you’ll discover in this powerful candid interview with Marquel Chili Gates Russell. Here are some of the highlights of a glory story you’ll learn from and enjoy: How Marquel’s entrepreneurial mom instilled believe and hope in him The funny story behind his first car, a 1984 baby blue Ford How the candy lady sparked his entrepreneurship Life skills Marquel learned in prison Discovering Bible study behind bars The influence of entertainment and club promotion on Marquel’s success How network marketing opened a door to a whole new way of life The personal development gurus that advanced Marquel’s growth Zig Ziglar’s great inspiration What happened when a mentor named Lonnie Robinson came into Marquel’s life The powerful effect of earning his first dollar online Marquel Russell’s first six figure payday The morning success ritual that fuels Marquel’s success How Marquel guides and inspires inner city youth His vision to impact the global economy by helping others BOOKS IN THIS PODCAST The War of Art (https://www.amazon.com/War-Art-Through-Creative-Battles/dp/1936891026/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1545426271&sr=8-3) by Steven Pressfield (Marquels favorite) Do The Work (https://www.amazon.com/Do-Work-Overcome-Resistance-Your/dp/1936891379/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1545426344&sr=8-4) by Steven Pressfield The Daily Stoic (https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Stoic-Meditations-Wisdom-Perseverance-ebook/dp/B01HNJIJB2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1545426224&sr=8-3&keywords=the+daily+stoic) by Ryan Holiday & Stephen Hanselman The Miracle Morning (https://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Morning-Not-So-Obvious-Guaranteed-Transform-ebook/dp/B00AKKS278/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1545426980&sr=8-3&keywords=miracle+morning+hal+elrod+book) by Hal Elrod A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles” (https://www.amazon.com/Return-Love-Reflections-Principles-Miracles/dp/0060927488/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1545426431&sr=8-3)  by Marianne Williamson MARQUEL’S FAVORITE QUOTE “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ― Marianne Williamson CONTACT MARQUEL www.MarquelRussell.com...
