I didn't watch the Game of Thrones finale, but I pretended I did and the lessons I learned as a result were incredible! What if we decided to just listen to someone and validate them instead of interjecting our opinions? Turns out, it makes for a very cool experience. Here's what happened to me... The day after the season finale of Game of Thrones May 20, 2019 I wore my Mother of Dragons shirt. I bought the shirt at Target and bought it for a Game of Throne party I went to for the season premiere. Our friends are super fans and threw the most amazing costume theme party for the premiere. We dressed Jade as a baby dragon at the party so it was only fitting for me to be the Mother of Dragons. That all said, we don’t watch Game of Thrones. I’ve seen 3 episodes total including the season premiere.  Wearing the shirt meant people instantly wanted to talk to me about the season finale, which I didn’t see. At Stroller Strides that morning I told the other moms who asked what I thought that I just had the shirt but didn’t watch the show. We all agree that I should come up with a canned response for people who ask me about it, something like, “I just can’t believe it’s over.” Next I went to our Kombucha On Tap office where immediately an employee asked me what I thought about the ending. Again I laughed saying I didn’t know and then he helped me come up with a few more canned responses for when strangers asked me.  Now I was prepared! That afternoon I went to the YMCA and was working on my laptop, earbuds in and all and a woman came running up to me and said, “as the mother of dragons can you BELIEVE what they did to your character?!” I looked up and said, “I just can’t believe it’s over!” In my head, I thought oh no...I don’t even know what happened to my character but I decided this was a great time to listen. She was disappointed by the ending and had three alternative endings she wished they had written instead. I simply listened, nodded and agreed with each one. She was so excited and it felt great to just give her that space to be excited. Normally I would be interjecting my opinions and perhaps even dominating the conversation. But without an opinion or any knowledge, I simply agreed and listened. At first I was scared she would call me out or think it was a dud of a conversation since I didn’t add anything to it. But instead, it was awesome. She felt validated, heard and empowered.  After that I went to the grocery store where an employee said he loved my shirt and then immediately asked, “did you watch the finale?” I smiled and said, “yes!” A lie, which I hate doing, but this had turned into a social experiment for me. He got a huge smile and said, “bummer about your character! What did you think of the ending?” To which i stated, “I just can’t believe it’s over.” He replied, “good answer” validating me and then I asked him what he thought. He went into his theories and opinions to which I nodded and agreed to it all. It was another upbeat positive conversation even though I wasn’t adding anything to it besides validation. Regardless, I left feeling happy and he continued at work feeling happy.  So rarely in life do we actually just listen and validate without giving our commentary. What a cool lesson I got to learn, all because of a shirt.  About the host: Deanne Goodman is a journalist, mom, speaker and co-founder of Kombucha On Tap.

Are you happy with your job?  Have you ever dealt with a toxic workplace?  In this episode, we dive into discussing how a toxic workplace can ruin a job, and how to deal with the concept of mean girls in your office. We discuss why being positive is one of the best things you can do for yourself, and how to figure out what your purpose is in life. In this episode, I talk with Deanne Goodman, an award-winning journalist, and host of In Happier News Podcast, about how she changed from reporting the negative news, and only focusing on positive stories. Deanne has a background in digital and TV news reporting, working in many different TV stations, and having to deal with some less than friendly office co-workers, and trying to report on the news that would allow her to move up in her career. That news meant murders, crime, fatalities, and other negative news. We discuss her wake-up call involving her biggest fan that changed her whole career and put her on the path of a new mission. Her mission is to create videos and podcasts that inspire and change lives. We discuss the challenges of working at a toxic job, and how to find your purpose and make a difference in society. Questions I asked: What changed for you, in regard to reporting? Why did you start your podcast? Why is it bad to be a mean girl? How to change from a mean girl to a nice girl? How can you keep your positivity in a negative workplace? What tips would you have for someone who doesn’t like their job? How can you find your passion and purpose?   Topics Discussed: Deanne’s reporting Career Her Wakeup Call. Sharing Positive stories instead of negative How to deal with mean girls in your life How we can support each other to success Keeping positive in a negative workplace How to deal with mean people online How to find your purpose, and follow it   Quotes from the show: “I made it my mission to stop covering all that negativity, and now I only focus on positive stories.” @DeanneGoodman13 @SisterhoodSweat “I think everyone has a purpose. At the end of your life, do you want to look back and say, Wow I'm so glad that I made this impact on the world.” @DeanneGoodman13 @SisterhoodSweat “You shouldn’t dim your light because someone is hating on you.” @DeanneGoodman13 @SisterhoodSweat “It all just hit me right then and there. This was the day I didn't want to get out of bed unless someone was dead, so I was there as my biggest fan was dying.” @DeanneGoodman13 @SisterhoodSweat “It’s hard to be mean to someone face to face.” @DeanneGoodman13 @SisterhoodSweat How you can stay in touch with Deanne: facebook.com/deannegoodman instagram.com/deannestagram instagram.com/inhappiernews inhappiernews.com   How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud   "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T" Essential Formulas   My daily energy stems from mushrooms... mushroom coffee that is!

It's a week about positivity! Let's start this week's Sherpa Sheet with a story. When I went to check out Deanne's podcast, and I read about its origin, 2 words came to mind... instant fascination. And after hearing some of her episodes, I said to myself, "This is someone I'm going to enjoy interviewing. ' And my Sherpa instincts were spot on. Here's a person who can juggle so much in her life and and keep up the positivity she shares in her podcasts. They really will put a smile on your face if you need a pick me up, or just want to maintain a sunny disposition. Her story is one of inspiration from an unexpected source. We talk about news reporting, how parents can be positive for their kids, and the problem with the lack of upbeat stories in the media. Plus, Deanne shares happy news from her own personal life! And was the Sherpa fanboying about an Oprah podcast?? You'll only be sure if you're listening! Plus, some kind words to some wonderful people ...with a presidential nomination!. And naturally, Sherpa Suggestions!! As previously mentioned, Episode 5 was a "podcast primer" of sorts, to the listeners who aren't that experienced with podcasts. This week, I introduce an occasional segment called "Podcast Pointers" for those people. This time around, I answer the question, "How do you share a podcast?" If you've got a question about podcast apps, the show, a certain guest, or anything else concerning life on Mount Podcastia, join the people who have podcasts that want to promote them, who can contact me at jimthepodcastsherpa@gmail.com, and I'll try to help you out.

Get to know host Deanne Goodman who is a journalist, an entrepreneur, a wife, and mom to a baby girl.  Deanne wasn't always on a mission to highlight the positive. In many ways, she was on a mission to do the opposite, covering as many hard-hitting stories as possible as a tv news reporter. A string of "coincidences" which she believes were God and the Universe giving her a wake-up call, changed her life and led her on a new path.  Deanne shares this shocking personal story and take-away lessons that could change your life as well!  Links - 5-HOUR Energy Helps videos:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_QSjzZH36c&list=PLo_6iu4NbSa5Ez5GaTE8w03VFn2Ipy34A Walter's Best Day Ever!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_TTriKTTFw&t=2s Follow Deanne on Instagram at www.instagram.com/deannestagram or on facebook www.facebook.com/deannegoodman If you have an inspiring story or know someone who does email highlightpositivepodcast@gmail.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
