385 Beacons of Fellowship   In a world so full of division, strife, and polarization, it can be easy to get caught up in the chaos of which path to follow. Which is why it is vital to put your own voice out there, not just to speak up for your beliefs, but so that those who you support and care for will know you are right beside them in this fight. In a world so obsessed with hate, there is no more powerful weapon than love and community.  In today's episode, Sarah Elkins uses the art of storytelling to tell us what truly matters to her while also weaving tales of her success and strengths, as well as speaking of what truly matters to her.    Highlights Applying skills found in the workplace to the home, and vice versa. Standing for what you believe will make enemies, but it will also give others the strength to follow you.  How do you want to show up in the world? How can you make your signals be in alignment with your beliefs.    Quotes “Every story we share has the potential to shape how we experience ourselves, and how other people perceive us.”  “Through a combination of curiosity and intention, I started to build a community that was far more diverse. Not for the sake of diversity, but for the sake of inclusion, personal growth, and love.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, If you're willing to look in the mirror and really consider how you want to be experienced by the community around you, what will you do to ensure that you are signaling those values in everything you do? What decision will you make today to stop contributing to the polarization and start reconnecting with those you care about? And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

Dear Listeners, In this episode of the Primary Medicine Podcast, we're joined by Dr. John Oliffe, a renowned expert in men's health promotion and Professor at the University of British Columbia. As the founder of UBC's Men's Health Research program and a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, Dr. Oliffe has led groundbreaking studies on how […] The post Episode 107: Rethinking Men's Health Dr. John Oliffe on Barriers and Building a National Strategy appeared first on Primary Medicine Podcast.

The pull of gravity has reached our jowels, Dear Listener, and the only one coming to save us is Corporate Thor. Good thing little girls are here to annoy the fugg out of us on an airplane. Interested? You should be. We explore all these topics this week, plus: should Melissa give up her daily sleepy-weed ritual? You be the judge (for a change). Lord knows we could use a break fomr that job. 

383 Your True Enemy Is Self-Doubt   Our internal messages shape who we are, whether they be positive or negative messages, shape who we are and how we carry ourselves through life, which is why it is so vital to stop and reflect on our messages and the input from those around us. We can learn alot from our personal board of directors, they encourage and guide us with their own personal experiences allowing us to grow, including when their input is critical.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins dwells on the importance of the words her own personal board has given her, the experiences that she has grown from, and how her professional and personal life have been shaped and allowed her to become the coaching powerhouse she is today.   Highlights Professional Storytelling Building each other up by practicing what we teach. How our friends inspire us. What experiences in your past contributed to your internal messages?   Quotes “Every professional benefits when they can share a story that demonstrates their character, their skills, and their vision.” “I can no longer allow distant periods of discomfort and whatever caused them, reign over who I am.” “I was acutely self conscious about my outfit, my voice, even my facial expressions and the way my body, arms, and hands moved as I sang. It has taken me years to let go of my fear of embarrassment, my fear of judgement. I really hope it doesn't take you nearly as long. Or if you're my age or older, that you're learning this lesson now so you don't bring regret into your later years.”       Dear Listeners it is now your turn, If you have something in your head that you really want to do, I urge you to take action right away. As May West said; “I only regret the things I didn't do.” Here are a few steps that I take when I'm working on something that feels new and maybe a little scary: I tell my closest friends what I want to do knowing they're going to ask how they can help and they'll keep me accountable. They'll ask me the hard questions to make sure I stay clear about what I'm doing and why. I use a strategy my friend and business coach Nettie Owens taught me. I schedule 15 minutes every weekday to focus on that one thing, it's on my calendar. Those 15 minute focus times show up at different parts of my day, not the same time every day. I'm very intentional with what I do with advice, criticism, and ideas I hear from others, especially if they've never done what I'm trying to do. I listen because sometimes a comment, even one that feels insulting, hurtful, or maybe even wrong, can be a catalyst toward improvement and success. Whatever it is you're challenging yourself with my friends, I would love to hear about it, and to support you as you're leaping out of your comfort zone.       And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned In This Episode Nikki Campbell Nettie Owens Jeff Ikler About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

382 Images of Ourselves    It's a sad fact of life that we internalize narratives that are made for us at an early age, we are told we are too emotional, that we're too bossy, that we're too big, and if we do not actively try to reframe or unlearn these narratives made for us, we are forced to live out a story someone else made up for us. It is our duty to reach out and take the power back for ourselves, to wield the pen as a mighty sword, and write our own narrative for the sake of our growth and inner peace.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Lindsey A. Lee, discuss the importance of becoming the person you want to be, showing up for yourself and those you love, and how vital it is for our growth as human beings to sit with the narratives we have about ourselves and decide for ourselves if these narratives are our own genuine thoughts and beliefs or if they were a planted idea.   Highlights Is the person you became, the person you wanted to be or the person you needed to be to survive? How do you show up for the people who need you? What stories and perceptions from others are you still holding onto?   Quotes “My greatest performance was pretending to be okay.” “There was emotion in my home, it just didn't look like mine. It looked like yelling, fighting, and shutdowns.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, The thing that I want to ask you, you remember every time at the end of these conversations I'm asking you to consider something for yourselves. My dear friend Netty Owens asked me one time: What is the object in your image of yourself that you would like to hold on to? And I talked about the Hanukkiah, the Jewish candelabra that we use for Hanukkah. And there's one candle that's separated from the rest, so there are 9 holders, 8 for the 8 nights of Hanukkah, and the one is the leader candle or the Shamash. That candle is the one we light first, we say the first prayer and then we light all the other candles with that candle. And I like to think of myself as a Shamash, someone who knows that by lighting other candles I am in no way diminishing my own light and that when we light other candles we bring more light. And for that brief moment when we connect like Lindsey and I did, for two and a half minutes our flames were together which made that an entwined hyper bright flame, even for that one moment, and it changes the energy and dynamic in a room. Guaranteed. So I am asking you listeners, what is your image of yourself? Just like Lindsey wants to be radiant and exudes that radiance when she owns that language, what will be yours? And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in This Episode The Four Agreements   About Lindsay Lindsay is a wellness mentor, educator, and founder of Honeydew U—a lifestyle platform helping women embrace authenticity, align with purpose, and heal through spiritual growth.

Dear Listener, The witches of Gumpendorf prove most helpful: with respect to the light magic that they do know, and the knowledge of whom might be able to help them with the more eldritch, weirder kind of magic. With Lacy and Araminthia providing them two people with whom to potentially ask more questions of, I wonder if Sully will get this way about who they will go see? I guess you're about to find out. They say in your world that every villain has a story; that they're the hero in their own stories. I wonder if that's true. I wonder if those working for The Sickle know they're actively harming the Cradle. I know those that I call at least have choices, and I rarely ask them to do much at all. At least I think I do. Perhaps where I think I am one of the heroes, you're in fact partaking of this story with the mind set that I am like my kin: an eldritch horror. I guess I'M about to find out. Thank you to Karin for voicing Lacy and Sarah for voicing Araminthia.

Dear Listeners,We are in sura 35 The Creator. Fatir فاطر What does Allah The Creator mean to you? What parts of your life shows it? Prayer, reading Quran, doing tasbeeh, praising Allah, giving charity, fasting….What else can you add to your life?This sura starts with praising Allah for His creation of the seen and unseen, sky earth , angels as messengers with different numbers of wings. Allah tells us when He opens His blessings no one can stop it. Allah creator of the seen and unseen open your blessings on us and guide us to be more grateful to you. Amen

SPOILER ALERT:  your neighbors are terrible. We bring this up Dear Listener because, with the infinite amount of “content” out there, it can be hard to decide what to watch, but Gareth has a suggestion: Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, with their examination of crime, hope and atonement are just the thing for this week.

Dear Listener,In this episode of the podcast, I push my comfort zone by recording in a public park in a new city I've never been to. Despite having a soft voice, I press publish anyway. I also talk about not letting travel throw me off my center by staying on top of my foundational practices, such as meditation, food habits, and creative expression, and how home is somewhere you can bring with you wherever you go.Hope you enjoy my shy rambles

280 Breaking Cycles   We are hardwired to remember the stories that are far more painful and life altering, than the happier stories we lived. Perhaps it is our survival instincts or it is just easier to remember the bad, regardless it is important to sit back and truly think about how we frame our narratives using these experiences and decide for ourselves that this story is one we want to change. In todays episode, Sarah Elkins and Erin Weninger discuss the cycles both of them have lived as women, business owners, and parents, and the difficulty that came with acknowledging and changing the destructive patterns in our lives     Highlights You can do what is best for you, you only need to find the courage to reach out.  Everyone's narrative is different, but you need to know personally when that narrative is false and harmful to you.  What lengths will you go to in order to defend your narrative? Is it really a narrative worth defending? Be adult enough to acknowledge when you fail, apologize, work towards being better, and take accountability. It's not the end of the world to admit when you are in the wrong.   Quotes “I really needed that second falling out with my mom to have that feeling of; “Wow she really will go to extreme extents for self preservation at the expense of anybody else she might care about and love.”.” “It doesn't have to be an atom bomb to me just because I accept fault.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, You've already been asked a few questions. Think about how you're modeling the behavior you want to see in the people around you. If you're a parent, what are your relationship issues with your parents that may be contributing to relationship challenges with your children? Are you taking time to look at those patterns and maybe be honest with your kids about what you're experiencing as a parent. And last but not least, I would love to hear your thoughts on Erin's story, and how and why she should share it. If you believe that her words can be inspiring to others, I would love to hear from you. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Erin (I will be sharing) My life story, as I am a 41 year old woman who spent roughly 37 years of my life thinking my dad had sexually abused me and it wasn't until 1 year ago I had confirmation he hadn't.

Dear Listeners, Thank you for the abundance of questions you've sent to us regarding our time with Fate/Stay Night. Please join us on the empty city streets beneath a flickering convenience store sign tonight as we answer your queries, demonstrate our power, and drop a few hints about our upcoming schedule as well.

What historical or legendary figure would our hosts summon as a servant in the holy grail war? What has Nasu said about the process of writing Fate/Stay Night over the years? What possibility is there of hearing a Say it in Red episode on Tsukihime? And most of all, what did Sara think about Waver in Fate/Zero? These questions, and many more, are all answered in this episode. As a result, please consider this a blanket warning for spoilers of all Fate/Stay Night routes as well as for Fate/Zero.As we mention in the episode, please be on the lookout for our new schedule which we'll be releasing shortly after this episode.

378 Demonstrating Who You Are Through Story   Through the art of storytelling people can get a glimpse into who we are in the way that is most meaningful to show. Through our stories and how we tell them we can show an entire room of people, or just that one significant person, who we are and what matters to us.    Highlights Using story to show who you are as a person and what matters most to you. Creating an environment where everyone feels safe, welcome, and willing to share their stories. Reflection and the importance of examining our past actions.    Quotes “Every professional benefits when they can share stories that demonstrate their skills, values, and character.” “In 90 minutes we created an environment of significant trust, support, and vulnerability.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What stories do you have that are integral to who you are as a person? What stories adequately show your character, value, and traits? Write these stories down, fine tune them, and share them in a way that continues to reflect your character. And, as always, thank you for listening.  As I mentioned I am celebrating my five year book-versary, starting today Your Stories Don't Define You was published May 31, 2020.

An unexpected visit from the cops at midnight prompts Amy to reconsider her parenting techniques. Missy ruminates on why she ruminates. And the deadline for Our Second Act fast approaches—with no resolution in sight. (To say nothing of the poop podcast.) All this on more, Dear Listener. 

377 The Art of Storytelling: A Controlled Burn in The Forest Of Life   Throughout life we have a tendency to collect things, whether they be stories, memories, or physical objects, and more often than not we cling to these things despite them no longer serving us in any meaningful capacity. Which is why it is important to sit back, look at your hoard and realize you are not a dragon who must keep every single piece of scrap. You can thank the item, story, or memory and leave it behind so that you can open up to new possibilities and new meaningful things to put in your life. In todays episode Sarah Elkins educates us on the importance of controlled burns in the national parks of the west, as well as the importance of our own “controlled burns” to clear away the clutter and make way for new, healthy growth in our lives.    Highlights Protecting our future and our communities, means protecting our environment too. Sometimes you need to shed the dead parts of the past in order to grow.  What strategies can you use to do your own “controlled burn”, to remove the things in your life that no longer serve you in a meaningful way?   Quotes “Even in my life activities I'm finding I need to shed things like relationships that no longer serve me, relationships that don't feel reciprocal at all, commitments that feel too obligatory and not meaningful. And work activities that aren't moving the needle for me in income or intrinsic reward.” “A controlled burn requires research, planning, and a whole lot of patience.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, If you're feeling overwhelmed with to much mental and physical clutter it might be time for you to take inventory too. Ask yourself the tough questions on what you truly need and want in your life and your home. And I hope you'll take the next steps to research and plan and patiently reduce that clutter.  And, as always, thank you for listening.    As I mentioned I am celebrating my five year book-versary, starting today Your Stories Don't Define You was published May 31, 2020.

376 The Art of Storytelling: What Makes A Good Leader?  What is it that makes a leader someone worth following? Is it the way they approach problems? Is it how they treat those who follow them or those who don't? Or is it something more unique to each individual?  In today's episode Sarah Elkins demonstrates through her art of storytelling how she has led others and helped them to lead in turn, and how important it is to follow a leader who makes you see the best in yourself, and to help others see the best in themselves. Highlights Show your qualities through your stories, don't just tell. A healthy and powerful work environment is possible when everyone works together and the leader takes steps towards improving their skills. Being self conscious of your skills and the room you have to improve.  Be confident in your abilities and find a way that is helpful and understanding to help others see them as well. Speak their language if you must.  Quotes “Why now? Because they're growing and they don't want to sacrifice their strong culture of caring for and developing their employees.” “The fact that you're asking this question makes you a good leader. The efforts you've made over the years to learn, to grow, to develop yourself, your self knowledge that you have room to improve, that's what makes a good leader.” “You've been using your own tools in your leadership style, not someone else's and that's what makes you successful to this point.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, It's my gift to you; to be your guide in collecting, practicing and sharing your most meaningful stories, so you have the power to choose how your internal messages and your internal dialogue shape your future. So you have the tools to improve communication at work and at home. And so you have the tools to advocate for yourself and others in the form of the most effective communication and connecting authentically with the people around you. Through story.  As I mentioned I am celebrating my five year book-versary, starting today Your Stories Don't Define You was published May 31, 2020. Starting this podcast was a wakeup call for me, I realized I was coaching my guests in sharing their pivotal moment stories, and they were finding great value in our time together, way beyond any promotional opportunity the podcast was offering. The book is designed to guide readers in collecting and sharing their stories with exercises and worksheets throughout. To celebrate my book-versary, I'm offering to sign and ship copies from Montana to you, and every purchase will include an offer for a 20 minute bullseye story mining session. In 20 minutes we will uncover at least one meaningful story for you to fine tune for you to use in your next interview, team meeting, speaking engagement, networking event, or maybe it's a date.  I really appreciate your support over the years and this is my way of giving that back.  And, as always, thank you for listening.  Purchase Your Stories Don't Define You and get your 20 minute session, here!   About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision."

Here'e the thing: if you're not experiencing heightened arousal at the sign of a delicately handled kraft paper bag, are you even alive? Join us, Dear Listener, as we journey down the rabbit hole of birthdays, work-husbandry and the half-life of a vat of Hellmann's. 

375 Practicing What You Preach It's important in life, whether you are running your own business or in your daily life, to practice what you preach. Not only do you avoid being seen as hypocritical but often the best person to give you advice is you. Consult with other coaches and counselors, ask the opinions of those you love and value, do whatever you need to in order to put yourself on the path to fulfillment and success. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Mike Trugman discuss practicing their own advice, as well as the importance of doing what you will say you will in order to put yourself in a better environment that will help you grow and thrive.    Highlights How do you approach your own self learning and self development? What do you need to do more of to bring yourself more fulfillment? Are you in a place that lets you grow and thrive? Or do you need to find somewhere new to grow?   Quotes “We think we're really sneaky, or really good at hiding these aspects of ourselves but there is no separate ‘I'm playful over here' ‘I'm not playful over here.' you are who you are.” “In some capacity we have helped people with public speaking, each of us.” “We've been conditioned for the most part in our society that to be successful you need to be relentlessly hard on yourself, and give up a lot of aspects of your life. And I love to work with people who are doing the courageous work of: What if I were really kind to myself? What could life look like if I was kinder and gentler to myself? And almost in a way, allowed my success to unfold, rather than something I need to grasp and control and attain. And if I lived that way, how would that make my personal relationships and the rest of my life better?” “You can have everything you want in your life and also feel good about yourself at the same time, and it doesn't have to be one or the other. Which is what I think a lot of us are taught and believe.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I would love for you to think about a time when something went sideways for you. I know we all have episodes that went a little sideways. But when was a time where things really went sideways for you and someone showed up to be your guide? It might've been in a negative way, it might've been somebody who did something so bad that you chose a different path in spite or to spite this person. But more than likely, you hit a point where things went so sideways that only somebody who loves you could help guide you out of that. Think about that moment, write it down, collect that story because as Mike said; it's not all about I did this and now I'm here, it's what obstacles did you overcome to get here? Because that's the story that inspires.  And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Mike Mike Trugman is a Professional Life and Career Coach who helps his clients move from fear to thriving with purpose, passion and fulfillment.

Dear Listeners,I've been having nightmares recently. Maybe I shouldn't call them nightmares, but it's hard to describe them in any other way. Each night, I fall asleep – or at least, I think I'm falling asleep – only to see the silhouette of a tall, beautiful woman open my door right before I lose consciousness. The next thing I remember is walking through my old high school and finding one of my classmates drinking another girl's blood. Terror seizes me, because I forgot to study for my blood drinking exam. I run from the room,  mostly to give the girls their privacy, and fall right into a massive pit of worms. Dread arrests my limbs, because they're all sour gummy worms and now my clothes are covered in tart sugar and sticky goo. Also all of these gummy worms are dirty now and that's just adding to the stress. Around this time, a writhing shadow covers me and I awaken in a cold sweat, look up, and see the flowchart for Heaven's Feel open on the monitor in front of me.On this episode, Sara, Runa, and returning guest MK complete their reading of Fate/Stay Night with the Heaven's Feel route! This route immediately diverges from the others, but still remains close to the Fate route until a scene in the Matou family basement pulls us deeper into the literal pit of Sakura's trauma and despair. When Sakura confides in Shirou about the abuse she's suffered at her family home, he takes her to stay at his house to protect her from Shinji and their terrifying grandfather, Zouken. When a mysterious, eldritch Shadow begins stalking the city and defeating servants, Shirou and Saber start investigating only to cross paths with a new servant, True Assassin, at the Ryuudo Temple. While Shirou faces off against Zouken, the master of True Assassin, Saber fights his servant only to lose not to Assassin, but the mysterious Shadow. Meanwhile, Sakura has been suffering from sudden intense fevers and bouts of weakness and Shirou encourages her to remain at his home and rest. When Shinji attempts to take Sakura back to the Matou home, Rin and Shirou try to protect her only to end up facing Rider, now revealed to have been Sakura's servant all along. From there the Shadow continues its rampage, Zouken continues scheming, Shirou continues experiencing unnerving nightmares, and Sakura's condition continues to deteriorate. The final secrets of the Holy Grail War come to light in this final route, as Illya reveals her connection to Shirou, Rin and Sakura reconnect as sisters, and Angra Mainyu properly takes the stage at last.Fate/Stay Night Q&A Episode: Our April Episode will be a huge Q&A Episode about the whole of Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero questions are up for grabs as well!

Oh, Walt. If you could see how they're treating us you'd set fire to Epcot, too. It's Fat Shaming at the Magic Kingdom, Dear Listener, complete with actual weigh-ins and colored wrist bands lest you thought you could escape. Because nothing says vacation like a mandatory weight check before standking for hours in the Orlando sun. Good times.  Missy muses about the business upside of hosting fictitious weddings. And Amy takes an unscheduled trip straight to the heart of Mafia Village. 

Dear Listener, This time around, we find our travelers ascending the mountain under armed escort, into the welcoming arms of the Coven at Gumpendorf. Here, they find friends old and new on the highest peak in the middle of The Cradle. But who's old friend do they meet? I guess you're about to find out. Friendship is such a funny thing, don't you think? You can lose contact with people for centuries... well for you human decades maybe... and then pick up like no time at all has passed... the best of friends. Well, by "lose contact" we mean don't reach out or be reached out to... Friendship really is a funny thing. Thank you to Sarah for voicing Araminthia, and Karin for voicing Lacy!

Country Music Dads is BACK for Season 2! And we are kicking things off by talking about the change (or lack thereof) that often accompanies the start of a new year. “New Year, new me” we say in January before seeing the “same ol' me” staring back at us in the mirror in March. But is that such a bad thing? George Jones and Dierks Bentley provide support via two songs separated by 40 years but with the same name (different spelling), “Same Ole Me.” The Dads wrestle with self-improvement vs. self-acceptance, change vs. growth, and bro country vs. traditional country. We also discuss changes to the podcast itself. What is different for Season 2, what is staying the same, and what, Dear Listener, do you have to look forward to when you follow the Country Music Dads? True to form, it'll be the same ole show, but a little bit different.Show Notes:02:12: Dave shares a preview of Season 2 of the podcast: what has changed, what is staying the same, and how feedback from our early-adopting listeners has influenced our plans.06:26: Meet Country Music Dads' new co-host: Donnie C. Cutler!08:22: Dave and Donnie discuss George Jones' “Same Ole Me,” Dierks Bentley's “Same ‘Ol Me,” how they think about goal-setting, personal change, and growth, and how their pursuit of improvement could influence their kids.35:02: The Dad Life Sound Check: Donnie shares how the competing pressures of life on the road and family life in Jeremy Pinnell's “Night Time Eagle” resonate with his own attempts to balance self-care pursuits and being there for the bedtime routine. Dave admits that “Halo” is his favorite Beyonce song and that Joshua Ray Walker's highly countrified rendition of it takes him back to a simpler time before kids when weddings were ragers.45:41: In our new, recurring segment called “Change My Mind,” Donnie posits that Bro Country is BAD for the country music genre. Self-proclaimed “recovering bro country aficionado” Dave attempts to convince him otherwise.Mentioned in the Show:Country Music Dads podcast Season 1, Episode 9: “Country Cutler Talks Parenting, Country Music in LA and Strawberry Pie For Breakfast”The Country Cutler Substack newsletter"Atomic Habits" by James ClearThe Marfa TapesDierks' bluegrass album, “Up On The Ridge” from 2010HomeDadCon: the annual convention for at-home dadsThe backlash surrounding the “Bluey” Season 3 "Exercise" episodeEddie Izzard on British vs. American filmsThank you for listening.

373 Making Space and Time To Truly Enjoy Life In life we will often be distracted with things we feel like we have to do: Go to University, get a normal job from 9-5, participate in every extra curricular activity that is presented to us, and in doing so we fail to take into account what we need. We need community, we need to experience the beauty of the world we live in, we need to live not just survive.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Joyce Perrin discuss the many adventures they both have lived through and the lessons they learned on their journeys.    Highlights Even across the generations, across cultures, across the globe, we are far more similar than we think. Choosing to create, contribute, and belong in community. When consumed with activity, you will not know how to be at peace and love the world you share with others.  Savor the moments of teaching, do not rush it, you never know how much time you have left.    Quotes “It's not how much you have, it's how much you share and give that really defines you.” “I think these kinds of skills, and giving the children responsibility is a good thing. But what I'm seeing happen is the children are so busy with all their curricular activities plus their homework they have to do, they have very little time to do anything else.”    Dear Listeners it is now your turn, No matter what age you are right now, what is something that you are willing to do that you haven't done before? What's something that's been an itch for you that you haven't been able to scratch? Because now is the time. Don't wait any longer. Don't face regret in your future. If we're going to have the same conversation a year from now and you're going to regret the same things you regret now, then something needs to change.    And, as always, thank you for listening.      About Joyce Joyce Perrin's early fascination with the 1950s Lands and Peoples book series sparked a lifelong curiosity about different countries and cultures. When she represented Canada at an international Girl Guide camp at age 17 and met her role model, Lady Baden-Powell, Baden-Powell's quote, “Happiness comes not from what we have but from what we give and what we share,” became her guiding light. Her nursing career led her into hospital administration and consulting. Still, a life change prompted her to pack up all her belongings at age 57 and embark on a solo global journey across 187 countries and territories. After many years of amazing adventures, she settled in Panama, where she co-founded the Panama Hospice and Respite Foundation. Returning to Canada at age 80, despite several health challenges, including blindness in one eye and breast cancer, Joyce published her book Ants in My Pants: One Woman's Unexpected Adventures Across Seven Continents. Now 88, she resides in Pickering, just east of Toronto, and finds purpose in supporting fellow cancer survivors, volunteering with health teams and encouraging people, through her book and speaking engagements, to pursue their passions, no matter their age.

372 The Art of Storytelling: Connection Over Persuasion, One Relationship At A Time   Time makes a folktale of the storyteller, and yet even hundreds if not thousands of years later, the stories that mattered -that we connect with- endure. To tell a story effectively means you need to connect with the person who is listening to you.  In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Jeff Ikler discuss the importance of genuine connection over persuasion in the art of storytelling, and how it is far more meaningful to build a bridge between one another, rather than forcing them to choose one side of the river.   Highlights What is something you can do to further your goals that relies on your strengths and your toolsets?  Who inspired you recently to continue your work?  What stories are you carrying with you? And what do you have that reminds you of that story?    Quotes “Everybody was being vulnerable, they were telling deeply personal stories and it was like they were letting us in before we had really been introduced.” “If you persuade, fine, but it's more important to connect.”   “And I am privileged to have sat at that dining room table.” “I loved feeding you at that dining room table.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What stories can you tell to make a meaningful connection? What objects or unknown facts about yourself are you willing to share to strengthen the bonds of fellowship between you and another? Try to tell your next stories, not with the intent to persuade, but with the intent to make a meaningful connection with the person in front of you.” And, as always, thank you for listening.  Mentioned in this podcast The Breaking Bread Village Getting Unstuck Cultivating Curiosity Podcast Object Diaries Podcast Around The Kitchen Table Poem/Perhaps The World Ends Here Erin Patrice Episode Lisa Weiss Episode   About Jeff Jeff Ikler is Director of Quetico Career and Leadership Coaching, a firm dedicated to helping individuals overcome career issues and develop sustained changes in their leadership practices and organizations.

371 The Frequency Of Fear   It's easy to be afraid. To stick our heads in the sand and watch another episode of a show that we like to ignore what's going on. But if we do that than we can never grow. We're all afraid, but we must act through our fear, refuse to be compliant, refuse to be quiet, and enforce the change we want to see in ourselves and the world around us.   In today's episode, Sarah Elkins and Nir Megnazi discuss the use of fear in driving us forward and how important it is to work with our fear and through it. Highlights How are you anchoring someone in time? What frightening experiences still warp and control your perceptions to this day? Are you lacking compassion for yourself? Are you kind to others but unkind to yourself, especially your past self? There's no way to hold space for someone and the emotions they feel if they are not communicated. Learn to work with fear. Fear is normal.    Quotes “Courage does not exist without fear.”  “The way I approach these memories is with a lot of compassion to ourselves, which is what we're lacking first, is compassion to ourselves.” “Working with our fear is effective. And within our fear.” “We serve people, not businesses.” “What do we want for our kids? We want to help them grow to be responsible human beings, healthy, with values, and to be a good person in this world. A contributing person in this world. But we are a work in progress.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I'm curious. I would love to hear in the comments, what are you working on? What is something in your past that you've uncovered that has continued to create ripples, uncomfortable ripples, in your life? What is the pattern you can uncover based on an experience you had, like Nir's where you were bullied as a kid, like mine where you were not able to afford both milk and eggs. What is your fear, or what is generating something that has consistently created a pattern of disconnect and discomfort in your life? And how are you going to approach it? How are you going to identify the emotions that you feel as a result of it, the triggers you experience as a result of that? And how will you embrace them so you can move forward?

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

370 Whatever Will Be, Will Be We can often have expectations of how the world is supposed to work, like we are running out of time or that we have to hold on desperately to ideas and beliefs that no longer serve us. However, it is imperative to our growth as individuals, and in turn, our business ventures, to let go of the beliefs that no longer serve you and to learn to accept that whatever will come to you when you are ready, and in its own good time.  In this episode Sarah Elkins and Rashina Gajjar discuss the lessons they've learned on their own private journeys, as well as how their own knowledge has helped to serve clients and friends alike.    Highlights Acknowledging the reality of a situation regardless of if you are proud of that thing or not. Sometimes we sabotage ourselves with change for the sake of change without it being intentional or meaningful change.  Things will happen when they are meant to.    Quotes “I guess learning to let go and surrender that and to move into this path that I think is more aligned with my broader purpose that really required me to yield and to let go of something that I thought that I had really wanted, and at the time I did want, but was no longer in the forefront of my vision.”  “Everything has it's own timing. The moments of preparation are important, the moments when you're stumbling are important, because they also get you there. But don't be frustrated if it doesn't happen in those moments, because it will happen in the right way. I think that's something I've been constantly learning in my life, and this was an example of it. And I think also my friend it was an example for her as well, the divine timing of things.”      Dear Listeners it is now your turn, What will you do to choose tomorrow? What is one thing you can do to decide that you have earned and that you deserve the life that you want? Everyday you have choices to make to remind yourself that you deserve the life that you want. That means choosing the labels that fit you rather than holding onto the ones that people gave you.  And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Rashina Rashina Gajjar is a British entrepreneur, Brand Amplifier and Belief Coach.
