" I Love Me" with Dr. Dream

Ep 143 Description:  “Get yourself love high, as high as you can! Try and focus on getting you all loved up because then you're going to get triggered less when you have a child.” —Tamra Mercieca    The pelvic floor is the unsung hero of the female body - a complex network of muscles that play a pivotal role in pregnancy, childbirth, and overall well-being. Yet, for too long, this intimate area has been shrouded in shame and disconnection. Yoga for the vagina offers a powerful antidote, helping women cultivate a deeper awareness and relationship with the pelvis. By releasing tension and fear, this practice unlocks greater ease, pleasure, and power during life's most transformative experiences. Tamra Mercieca is a women's health expert who has dedicated over 20 years to helping women reclaim their power and fall in love with themselves. As the host of the "I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca" podcast and the founder of the "Getting Naked" online school, Tamra shares transformative practices for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Debra and Tamra explore how releasing fear, cultivating self-love, and using intentional practices can make birth a more easeful and empowering experience, while also revealing opportunities for personal growth through the parenting journey.     Connect with Debra!

We all have a story.  And within that story are many other stories that we tell ourself on a daily basis. Stories about why our life is the way it is, or is not, and why we can or can't have the things that we so desire.   But what if the stories we're telling ourself, are not serving us anymore? What if they're contributing to a life that feels ‘less than' or downright hard? What if these stories are limiting our experiences in some way? Keeping us small. Keeping us from the very things that our heart-of-hearts wants for us?   Today on I Love Me the Podcast we explore the stories we tell ourself, how they effect our life, and what we can do to start to unravel the stories that have reached their use-by date.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/04/02/ep-50-when-our-stories-reach-their-expiry-date/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.   While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I'm known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women's Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I'm the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.   Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.

Today we're diving into into a topic that's very close to my heart - literally. We're talking about breast health.   Those beautiful, powerful extensions of our heart, and how they're not just physical, but deeply emotional and spiritual. Because contrary to what you may have been led to believe, our breasts aren't just there for function and form.   I like to think of breasts, like the heart's megaphone; an external reminder of our ability to nurture, to be compassionate, and to radiate love into the world.   That's why today on I Love Me the Podcast we explore how to give our breasts the care and attention they need, so we can tap into the wellspring of self-love that flows straight from our heart. And yes, that includes a conversation about the great ‘bra debate'.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/03/05/ep-46-why-your-bra-may-not-be-your-breast-friend/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

I'd like to invite you to sit with this question….   How is your relationship with food?   If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of guilt or shame or frustration around what you eat or how much you eat - you're not alone. With all the conflicting food advice, and pressures to look a certain way, eating has become smothered in all kinds of harmful emotions, that trigger off unhealthy eating habits.   That's why today, on I Love Me the Podcast, I share a deeply personal chapter of my life - how I overcame binge eating and reclaimed my relationship with food. But more importantly, how I reclaimed my relationship with myself.   Yes today, we peel back the layers on why people have difficult relationships with food, so if this is you, you can stop relying on willpower and self-control… And instead, learn how to create a sustainable, loving connection with your body, and what you put in it!   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/02/19/ep-44-the-root-cause-of-binge-eating/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

To say that this conversation is inspirational and heartfelt, thoughtful and emotional, and fundamentally captures all that this summit intends to convey to our listeners -- well, that's an understatement. This conversation with Marvyn Harrison offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be an adult diagnosed with ADHD, what it means to be a black man diagnosed with and treated for ADHD, what it means to be a father with ADHD, a partner, an entrepreneur, a thought-leader. You get the picture. This conversation is a meta conversation about ADHD. And while it will appeal to everyone, it's likely that it will resonate most with the adults with ADHD who are continuously trying to understand and manage themselves.    Marvyn Harrison is a visionary business consultant driving cultural change through BELOVD, working with clients like WPP, Footlocker, and News UK. As the founder of Dope Black Dads and Dope Black Men, he inspires greater change, advocating for the Black community across the UK, US, and Africa. A media contributor on platforms like Good Morning Britain and BBC 5Live, Marvyn has also authored two children's books, *I Love Me* and *The Best Me,* and is writing a guide on personal transformation for men. His late-life ADHD diagnosis fuels his impactful work.   Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Marvyn Harrison about fatherhood and undiagnosed ADHD. Here is what to expect on this week's show: Marvyn discusses his journey towards self-discovery and understanding his late-life ADHD diagnosis and the need for conscious in managing the condition. One crucial tip shared by Marvyn revolves around the importance of being present and tuned in to your children's needs. Marvyn points out, "There is no program to help men better at home. It's just kind of do it because it's the right thing to do." This calls for a more supportive and inclusive approach to fatherhood, acknowledging the diverse roles and responsibilities that dads undertake.   Connect with Marvyn: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/discoverwithmarvyn/ Linkedin:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/marvinharrison/ Website:  https://dopeblack.org Related Links: Co-Parenting with Elaine & David: Real Strategies to Improve Family Dynamics:  https://youtu.be/UKb1jMlQ71o   Success! “Dad's Fun, But I Can Talk to Mom About Anything”:  https://youtu.be/xcrGRr8TvSM   Paradox: High Achieving Adults with ADHD:  https://youtu.be/VUbEgYQCVKM   Get your FREE copy of 12 Key Coaching Tools https://impactparents.com/gift   Connect with Impact Parents: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impactparents/ @impactparents Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ImpactParent @impactparent LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/impactparents/ @impactparents X (fkaTwitter): https://twitter.com/ImpactParents @impactparents Learn more about your ad choices.

Fear has this remarkable ability to immobilise us. To make us second-guess our decisions, our actions…  And keep us rooted in the familiar.   But what if we could have a different relationship with fear? What if, instead of seeing fear as scary - a reason to run away and hide - we saw fear as a guiding force, nudging us towards our fullest potential?   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, we explore the two types of fear, and how to welcome and work with these fears, each time they come a knockin' on our proverbial door of life.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/11/27/ep-39-when-little-miss-fear-drops-round-for-a-cuppa/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Depression is no walk in the park. I've been there, done that. And decided it wasn't for me! Yes, in my 20s I was experiencing severe clinical depression, and was on the verge of being put in a mental home, after continual attempts to take my own life.   What changed? I changed. I decided to start loving myself, instead of hating myself. And over the course of the next few years, I said good bye to the meds, good bye to the depression, and hello to the life I now love so dearly.   Today on I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca, I share the very real journey of depression - the one I experienced first hand - and the steps I needed to take in order to overcome my mental health struggles for good.   It's my intention that sharing my story here today, will inspire you, offer you hope, and give you the insight you need to start your journey to a healthier, happier you. Please know that however dark your days, all you need is a willingness to love yourself, and then love yourself a little bit more each day.   So whether you're struggling with your own mental health or supporting someone who's in the throws of a mental illness, may you leave this episode knowing that depression is NOT a life sentence, and that you can break free, so you can enjoy the life you are here to live.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/10/09/ep-32-bye-bye-blues-my-journey-out-of-depression/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

I invite you to contemplate this question for a moment: What is the biggest cause of unhappiness?   Maybe you say a lack of money, a lack of a loving partner, a lack of a body you can feel proud of when you look in the mirror, a lack of some other thing you so desperately want…   In my experience, the biggest cause of unhappiness is a lack of gratitude.   So many people fall into the pattern of taking life - and everything in it - for granted. Instead of focusing on all they do have, they focus on all they don't have. Thinking that if they just get more of what they want, then they'll be happy.   But life doesn't work that way.   All you need to do to feel happy, is to be grateful. And that's something every single one of us can do.   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, you'll learn that practising gratitude doesn't need to be an arduous task. You don't need to write out gratitude lists every day… Nope. Being grateful can be one of the easiest, and quickest ways of living happily right now.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/09/18/ep-29-could-practising-gratitude-make-you-a-happier-person/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Self-love isn't just a new fad or some trendy catchphrase. When we dive under the surface of self-love, we discover that self-love is in fact the foundation of a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.   So if you've been thinking there's not much substance to self-love, and that perhaps it's not relevant to you… OR you simply want to understand more about how cultivating self-love will ripple through all corners of your life… and help you feel more confidently at peace with everything in your world…   This episode of I Love Me the Podcast, is for you.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/08/21/ep-25-why-loving-yourself-is-everything/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the stories and childhood conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves.   While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I'm known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women's Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen physical and mental health modalities. I'm the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals.   Personally, my journey began when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.

Being vulnerable, for most of us, is scary. It can quite literally petrify the knickers off us, for fear of being attacked or ridiculed. But the truth is, without being vulnerable, we limit the depth of our relationships. Our relationship with others, as well as our relationship with ourself.   Being willing to sit with ourself and love ourself in our most vulnerable moments… that takes courage. But when we're willing to do so, we open the door to a whole new level of self-love. And when we're willing to get vulnerable with another person, it gives the other person a chance to hold space for us, to show their unconditional love for us, and in doing so, build trust and communication so we can enjoy a far deeper bond.   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, we'll be talking about this all important V-word… vulnerability. And how vulnerability is our superpower when it comes to establishing long lasting, meaningful relationships.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/05/15/ep-15-vulnerability-the-cornerstone-of-self-love-and-deeper-relationships/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Her life was both overwhelming and boring.  She was not living the life she had imagined for herself.  It took her years to realize that she wasn't living her life at all.  She was living the life she was told to live.  One frustrated day, she threw her hands up and asked the Universe to show her what she was here to do.

OK, so I have a confession to make: I am a total romantic. I am in love with love stories.  Real life love stories. So it'll come as no surprise that in my 20s, one of the big things on my mind, was meeting my Prince, and living happily ever after.   But let's just say by the time I hit 30, I wasn't having much luck with men. In fact, after dating non-stop for many years, I was still kissing toads, and starting to lose faith. That's when I knew I needed a new approach. That's when I needed to try something radically different. That's when I decided to start dating ME!   Today on I Love Me the Podcast, I'll share how dating ‘myself' invited me into a new way of loving myself. A new way of accepting myself. And a new way of being with myself. A way that, for the first time in my life, allowed me to feel whole and complete, just as I am. And how it was ‘dating' myself, that led to my Prince.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/04/24/ep-12-how-dating-myself-led-me-to-my-prince/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20+ years now.

Self-Love is the act of making friends with oneself.   Showing oneself kindness and compassion, listening to that inner voice of wisdom over the loud noise of the mind.   It's a minute-by-minute, day-by-day practice of accepting ourself - showing ourself unconditional love - regardless of our actions or behaviours or current life circumstances.   On today's episode of I Love Me with Tamra Mercieca, we explore what TRUE self-love is. And how you can start to invite more of it into your life.   Check out the full episode show notes: https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/02/07/what-is-true-self-love/   About me…   My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20-odd years now.

They didn't just go, let me see what life is going to bring and what kind of mood I'm in. They did something to get in this positive, powerful mindset. Now, they may not call it that. But you could see there was nothing more important than how they showed up for the day. Lesley Logan 0:29  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.  Lesley Logan 1:08  Hi, Be It babe, how are you today? I really love this conversation you're about to hear. Just gonna say it. I will be honest, like I started this morning with a lot happening. Like I try not to wear too many hats in one day, just because it does help me show up in a better place and, and we just have a meeting at eight o'clock, which is going to be a different hat. And then it was me podcasting, which is what I love to do. I love everything I get to do, actually. But I normally just, if I'm gonna podcast in a day, I just podcast in a day and I don't do anything else. But obviously that's two hats. And then later in the day, I'm actually leading my mentorship. And it's weekend three for my round two of my eLevate mentorship. And it's a big weekend, there's a lot of moving parts, there's a lot of preparation. So I started this morning and like a little stressed out like oh my gosh, I have so many things I have to do, I feel like show but this way for this meeting. And like this is the goal of that. And I have these podcast interviews to do I want to make sure I show up for them. And then I have these eLevate members. And it's like a big weekend, how many (inaudible) was done with a one-hour break in there. And so I showed up to this interview, and I was you know, reminding myself of like, who the guest was why I have her on. And I was like, oh my gosh, this is gonna be lovely. Like I this, this is going to be a joyful interview. And guess what it is. And I am sitting here talking to you just after hanging up with her. And I'm just gonna have to I have to tell you, like, thank goodness she was on today because she truly helped me be so present or reminded me like, why the hell do we do what we do here? Lesley Logan 2:38  And, you know, I just want to share that with you because like, you're gonna have days where you forget why you are doing what you do, or that you get to do these things that you want to do like, and not in a negative way to some like, it's life. It's busy. We're human fucking beings, right? Like, it just takes time. And so it's important that you have people in your life, whether you know them already, or that you meet them on the streets being present enough to let people pour their energy into you so that you can pour into others. It's always really, really an amazing thing. And so I say this, because I know that right now you're listening to this and you're probably trying to race through traffic and try to get to a coffee shop or get back in time to do something else. And don't be afraid to say hi to the person who's making the coffee, and just, you know, hearing what they have to say or reading the motivational sign on a wall somewhere, or, or just reminding yourself of something, a word, you'll hear that come up a few times in this podcast that helps you remember like, why that you do what you do. And we do get to do this. And now you get to listen to Sandy Joy Weston, who I think is going to just enlighten you, inspire you, make you laugh, she is a lovely person. She has, she has done so much in her lifetime. And I love that because I think it can be really easy for us to get stuck and like feel like we haven't grown somewhere or we like are trying to make something happen. And I hope that she shows you that like a door can close and other doors can open. And then also you could think that you're opening a door for someone else and they actually open a door for you. So without further ado, well, you know, there's that little ado, and then Sandy Joy Weston. Lesley Logan 4:12  All right, Be It babe. I'm super excited to have our guest on today. Mostly because I just love when I find somebody that I'm like, oh my God, I really want to talk to this person. And that's kind of what happened. I came across Sandy Weston's information, what she's up to and I was like, yeah, you need to talk to our people. So Sandy Weston, will you tell everyone who you are and what you're up to these days?Sandy Joy Weston 4:32  Oh, well, thanks for having me. And I love that intro. What am I here? Here I am thinking what am I up to these days? Oh Lesley, you never know. But I've been an entrepreneur my entire life in the health and wellness business. I did not have a magic crystal ball. But I sold them in 2019, yay. Lesley Logan 4:56  You did? Sandy Joy Weston 4:58  I did. I'm thinking and screaming, let me add, I did not want to go. My one lease was in downtown Philly. And it had three and a half years left on it, I wanted to stay, the landlord came in and said, I'll make you a great offer and I'm like and he kept making it more and more difficult. And finally, with two and a half years left on my 20-year lease, it was a decent offer. And what I did is I thought, okay, well, I still have my wellness company. But then I sold that. And my business partner, I thought, how would I feel if I had been running really the wellness gig forever? And now Sandy's going to come in and get her fingers into it? That would be good. So I sold that to him.Lesley Logan 5:54  Oh, my goodness. (inaudible) Also it sounds like right before the pandemic? Sandy Joy Weston 6:00  Yes, it was. (inaudible) And, you know, after through some years, it was huge, a big difference. The good news, it was at the beginning of 2018. So took time to travel and all that when we could still travel. But I always had a side hustle or a side gig with my health clubs, because I built them up enough that I had a great team. So I could do a lot of other stuff. So my side hustle was, I was doing radio shows and podcast way back years ago so I can meet awesome people around the world, you know, who were making a big difference. I was an author of different books and journals and traveling around speaking. I was able to do that still virtually. And I did a lot of teaching gigs and workshops, all with train your head and body will follow. So I just took that side gig and pushed it up. Lesley Logan 6:59  Yeah. So this is so first of all, like, wow, I mean, like, way to just go, you know, way to also just think about the other people involved like, oh, this person, all of a sudden, she's going to have full time in this and like just to go, you know, why don't you just enjoy it because you've been enjoying this whole time. But to have the have the heavier hands and like allow the little project little side gig where you're speaking and doing things like that, that took a lot of trust and building up of a team. Did that, was that easy for you to do were you were like so excited to have people take over things about at the Wellness Club so you could do this, like how is that process so you could actually go into speaking?Sandy Joy Weston 7:38  So one of my strengths, which could be my weakness, too, at times, is I can let go of the reins. I love building a team. I love supporting people, I love mentoring people. And in the health club business. I started back in 1985. So I was young at the time. But as I kept going, a lot of the people that were my employees were way younger, which was exciting. Because they would always come to me for advice and business and personally and I love it. And I love seeing them grow. And then I go, okay, fly off, butterfly and you're on your own. And that was amazing to see how much they grow. But even more importantly, not that we didn't have turnover. But we didn't have a lot of turnover because people like that, like I'm (inaudible) good in sales, good in marketing. And I had a bunch of health clubs, so I could put them in different locations. It was incredible. And I have to tell you, that's the thing I miss, I'm sure we're going to do something else because as much as I'm busy. I don't have I don't need a big crew right now. And I really miss that. Yeah, yeah. And managing people and other people are like, No, that's a thing they hate the most is the managing of others. And I liked it. Yeah, they didn't do things exactly like me. But I hired people that were like-minded and have the same value systems.Lesley Logan 9:14  Yeah, that's huge. That's huge. We'll definitely have to dive into that. But I want to go back to you said it. You said you're working on things where you train the body and train the mind and the body will follow. That is so interesting for me because I mean, I'm in the health and wellness, I teach people fitness and like it's so like it's so true. People come to the to the gym for the body. And when you're a trainer sometimes you're like, oh my God, if we just could get you to commit with your mind, if we could just get this head right you wouldn't even need me. How did that come about? How did you like figure that out in your own life and like how, like what's your what's your method around training the mind so the body follows. Sandy Joy Weston 9:53  For me. My mission has always been to spread pure joy. I didn't care how I was a dance major didn't have any idea I'd end up being an entrepreneur. I'd be happy to dance and entertain you Kumbaya. But I was always fascinated by how quickly if you were in the right mindset, you could shift other people's energy. And I was also fascinated by others that I felt exuded pure joy. So, I ended up, I was gonna call Guinea pigs but I had members of my gym, you know, thousands of people coming in and out and I decided I was going to study and interview those who would let me the ones that I felt exuded pure joy, you know, people you want to be around and what's their secret sauce, but there's something about them, that could be taught. And for the longest time was, I didn't see anything. I mean, they all had so many different things going on. And I have everything from moms, dads, CEOs, chefs, entrepreneurs, police officers, all different people but all you're like, oh, there's something about and then maybe after a year or so one of my colleagues said, there it is, there it is, there it is. Every single one of them, no matter what it was, whether it was a few minutes or a few hours, did something every single day to happen to life. They didn't just go let me see what life is gonna bring and what kind of mood I'm in. They did something to get in this positive, powerful mindset. Now, they may not call it that. But you could see there was nothing more important than how they showed up for the day, whether it was baking Muffets, you know, petting their dog, jazz music, working out, meditating journal, it didn't matter. So I was like, whoa, that's what I'm doing. Because when I would train people back then I always got results. And I couldn't figure it out. Like I really wasn't putting it together. But really, I was resetting their brain and their mindset, and then their body was coming along. I didn't think of it that way. So now, after realizing, okay, there is something that could be taught. I then spent the next few years with what I call highly intellectual people, the powers that be that exercise physiologist, neuroscientists, positive psychologists, sports psychologist, spiritualist gurus and I had room in my downtown office in Philly. And we'd get together, they would argue, they would fight, they would agree, but I'm like, wait a minute, wait a bit, there's something in there. And what happened is, we ended up after a lot of trial and error, a lot of fails, creating a guide, that would only take one to three minutes a day to get your head in that positive powerful headset for those people that already didn't have routine. Like if you have a routine great, but this was for people that just got woke up.Lesley Logan 12:57  Some people have such a hard time creating a routine. I've got kids, I've got dogs, it's chaos, no day is the same. And you're like, we actually figured out a way to do that for you in one to three minutes.Sandy Joy Weston 13:09  I tried five, and it failed miserably. People didn't do it. Because if you didn't already have a belief system, you weren't gonna waste five minutes of your day to do something that may or may not work. But they were willing to risk. All right, Weston, I'll do it for a minute to three minutes a day. And they had to pick one area of their life that they wanted to uplevel. So and these were highly motivated people that weren't going to take five minutes they had, but I'm like, Okay, let's work on the one area that is what I used to call your sticky wicket, or you want to uplevel and I said, let's break it down three areas. One is money career, the other one is body health or love relation. Pick one, and just for 30 days. And we got it down that if they did that and focused in and it only took a minute, three minutes, they were willing to do it. Now they might have done other things after that. But it started to create the habit. Lesley Logan 14:03  Yeah, I think like, it's, you know, when I started with BJ Fogg on his Tiny Habits, it's like, you have to look at things and just because somebody wants to do it, if they don't have the ability to do it, it doesn't really matter. And if they don't believe that they have five minutes, that doesn't matter how easy the thing is, it could just be like sitting still, it could require nothing, but just to sit in the bed for five minutes. If they don't think that they have five minutes, they're not going to do it. I'm going to stress them out even more, they're just going to avoid it. So by making something so small, it's kind of silly, like, if I don't have a minute to just like, you know, make the bed then like do like what am I doing? So I think that's really, really cool. Yeah, so, you know, obviously you saw them, even though they're already highly motivated people you saw that change. And then is this something that like you incorporate it with every client who came through your gym or is it something you ended up like just teaching people outside of it? Or both? Sandy Joy Weston 14:55  You know, so (inaudible), I could just hear my members yelling at me. I got things in through the back door with my members. So the people, I took my classes, I taught everything, you know, from kettlebells, to spinning to dance, I was very high energy, and somebody that wanted to entertain you. So if you didn't like that you weren't coming to my class. But my whole goal was, like I said, was the vehicle for you to find joy within you. So there was always a theme, and a word. So I'm very into words. So every month in my gym, I put up everywhere the one word of the month. And then in the classroom, I couldn't make you do it out the weight room. But in the classroom, we would focus in on that one word, you know, power, fun, courage, confident. And I'd say, okay, focus in on this word, while you're having, and they would just, you know, go along with it. But I felt at least I was getting that in their day. The second thing is, as soon as they crossed the line into the room, they knew, okay, no negative energy, no complaining, no gossip, no negativity, and somebody in the room has to start with what's one positive thing that happened today. So I kind of trained them to do that.Lesley Logan 16:16  I actually love that you, like, had some rules around that. And also some visual prompts, because like, everyone learns a different way. But having a visual prompt can be really good. And also, it's like, just, you know, whatever space we're in, like, whatever you're creating, whatever the community your're creating is like having rules about what is not allowed is as important as what is allowed. And if not more so that people because it is so easy, you know, I don't teach as many privates as I used to, but like, it was so easy for my clients to come in and like, my goodness, I would fear whatever was on the news that day, because it could just like, it's like, well, we're gonna be talking about this topic for seven hours. And I love them. And I love that every single and like, it'd be seven different perspectives from seven different walks of life. And I'm like, left, like, at the end of the day going, oh, my God, I feel like I've just been on the news, just like and so having, you know, having to create rules, it's like, okay, here are the topics that are never allowed in this space. We are never allowed to talk about it. So no negative no gossip. NoSandy Joy Weston 17:17  No politics, no religion. We love each other here. Lesley Logan 17:22  But also, it forces people to come together on different topics that they actually are more like in than they might not have been. And also like that actually, do affect your daily life in a more important way, like how your plants are succeeding in the house is really going to make a difference in how you feel about things that you do in your house you know, how, how the roses clicked on Sunday so that your mother in law actually doesn't like, have a side eye is actually really important. I'm not thinking about my mother-in-law, I don't cook anything. So I don't have to worry about that. Sandy Joy Weston 17:54  I thought you were in my house on Sunday and knew this one happened. Lesley Logan 17:59  I have a lot of friends who have a lot of interesting mother-in-laws. I'm so grateful for mine so, um, so I think that's really cool. So now, like, now that you don't have that gym to like, have that impact on a thousand people in-person all the time. What is it that you are doing to help train the mind so that the body follows?Sandy Joy Weston 18:18  Yeah, by the way, I just want to back up just so you know, shout out to the West Coast. When I first came up with these ideas train your head body will follow. It took me a year and a half to get an agent another year and a half to get a publisher to back then who didn't think I was cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. And then the only people that would book me for book signings and speaking gigs where was out west. Because here, and now it's mainstream. Like oh, I'm not so wackadoo, you know? Lesley Logan 18:50  West Coast to west coast. I'm just saying I'm not trying to offend any of my East Coast listeners but as a Californian I'm like, of course train your mind so the body will follow. Hello.Sandy Joy Weston 18:58  They got me, California, Portland, they all got me. All right, so although I'm so so, so grateful for virtual when I've had a little bit up to here with teaching workshops, online. I love them. They were good. Reached a lot of people around the world. Somebody nominated, you have to be invited in to this heroic public speaking course that was approximately eight months to take your speaking gigs up to the next level. Okay. long commitment. I had no idea about 20 hours a week, focusing on rewriting, redoing your keynotes and what impact it would have in the world, what's your big idea? And my husband's like, you might have to do it now like during COVID. So that's what I did. And I started perfect timing that it was some of it was online. And then we got to go there in person and I was lucky people were traveling from all over the world. They pick 40 people, and I only had to travel an hour. That was great, and we went there four times. And they I didn't know, let's see how much I didn't know. I mean, I've been speaking forever. But this was a whole new thing. Sandy Joy Weston 20:12  What it allowed me to do, which was beyond challenging for me, is to impact more people with my keynote, because for the first time in all my life, in a fun way, I was going to tell my story. And who I was, which was freaking me out, like, I'm just like, everybody just assumes Sandy had great parents, came from great people. And, you know, must have had money, house, before she gets started. And so a lot of it was behind the scenes that I would never, ever put out there because it would be too deep and wouldn't serve others you want to serve others. But then I came around how to tell the stories in a fun way. And the person that nominated me. That's why she did it. She's like, oh, I know you have to speak, you need to change it from just rah, rah. So in my story of I didn't even know this, like, this is the weird thing. So here I am figuring out pure joy, and that it only takes a minute to three minutes. And I realized, holy moly, I've been doing this since I was nine years old to get out of a difficult situation. I was using movement, words and laughter to get into a certain headspace not knowing it, visualize where I want to go. And it took me far, it was only a few minutes every day. And I grew up in the projects, which, okay, not cool. But if you tell people who grew up in the projects, or like, oh, respect people, you know, you got out, you drown out the negative chatter. That wasn't the part that I'm scared about. Sandy Joy Weston 21:57  My mom spent 50% of her life in mental institutions like poor silence, like we were poor, so they were not good ones. But when I went, even though my brother was older, he had a more challenging time, you can imagine going to me, so I had to do things to shift the energy. So since a kid, I would bring my blue box, throw my tap shoes and dance to entertain these people. So now you can see why I believe in the most desperate situation I could put a smile on someone's face. I may not cure them. But I knew in that moment, I could bring them hope. It could bring me hope. And here without thinking of it. I'm just doing bringing joy because it saved me. It was saving them. Nobody expected me to graduate high school. I'm like, yeah, I probably will. Here's my life. Here. I was applying it. I'm 63 years old, I had no idea that's what I was doing. Is that wack? I'm like, wait a minute. I've been doing this my entire life.Lesley Logan 23:06  I actually think that this so I love that you bring this up because I actually think one of the hardest things for people to be it till they see it as they're like, I don't know what my purpose is. I don't know my why I don't like horses. I like like, so many people do not go back and like think about their life because they want to avoid whatever part of their life maybe because let's just be honest, whether you're in the projects or not. Most people who are trying to better themselves had something traumatic, traumatizing happen to them at some point in their life. And they are and whether you've healed from it, or you're just avoiding it, you're like, I'm good. I like got out of that. And I want, there's some skill set that you have that you don't even recognize because it comes so easy for you. Because it's just like such a natural thing. It's like taking a breath like, of course, you just are like, of course I'm gonna like tap dance and help these, you know, like, you weren't, like you weren't cognizant, like, oh, it's I'm gonna just like you're nine years old. So you're like, what can I do to like, you know, make this more fun? And it's so easy for you. And too often people complicate it, they think whatever their purpose is, whatever they have to do, it must be something, it must be something they have to invent. It must be something that like, doesn't exist. It's a thing that you're doing every single day that like, makes people like you. Like that's why this podcast exists.Sandy Joy Weston 24:20  I will tell you something. So one of my biggest speaking gigs I ever got was in 2000 and end of '18 in Thailand. And it was to be the keynote speaker for this International Women's Conference. Don't even ask, I don't even know people thought it was white trafficking. They're like, you're not Hillary Clinton. How did you get it? I'm like, Well, doctor, you know, Dr. so and so. Women astronauts, you know, people discovering the cure for cancer, and there's Sandy Joy Weston. I get in there. And I spent six months on it. Because I'm going to know the neuroscience of the brain and they're going to understand I got my master's degree, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, I'm gonna go through it. I spent months and months drilling this 90-minute cube again up there, I realized, 15 minutes into it, some of these women, although it was an English-speaking conference, spoke broken English, so they were not understanding everything. And so I said, how many of you understand only every other word and like half their hands went up? I said, how many of you would rather have the universal language? They go, what is that? I go, we're gonna dance. And I didn't have a song. It wasn't in my routine. I picked Meghan Trainor. Somebody said, oh, I have Meghan Trainor on my phone. I love me. And I got them all up dancing to I love me, Meghan Trainor. Created a, you know, little line dance. Let me tell you something. I did go back and do some of the speech but half of it got thrown out the window. I was trying to be something I wasn't my gift to the world is shifting energy using my dance. They did that dance four days of a conference and they would go, Sandy, I Love Me, I Love Me. And they would do that. That was the biggest gift I could give them because they were so scared to speak and how to connect with one another. And guess what? All the women who were like not so nice to me, like, how did you get keynote came up and go. We know why you got keynote. And I didn't think that I was in until to this day. I'm like, I got to do more. My keynote is gotta be more.Lesley Logan 26:39  Isn't that such a weird thing. Like, we'll get chosen for something. Somebody will ask you, this happens to me all the time, someone's like, oh, I want you to like speak at this I'm like, oh my God, okay, maybe I have to change, maybe I have to do this thing. It's like, no, they actually picked you based on the work you already did. So they're actually expecting the work that you already did.Sandy Joy Weston 27:01  They kind of looked you up. They know what you're about. Lesley Logan 27:03  Well, if we went to go see, I'm just like, I was just driving by Ellington stadium, y'all. You know, I live in Las Vegas. And I was like, Who? Who is performing because wow, this, this crowd is vastly different in age. I was like, I was driving by and it's like Taylor Swift. And like, of course, Taylor Swift. Can you imagine if Taylor Swift showed up to 55,000 fans was like, Hey, I'm gonna play stuff on the album I haven't released yet. Yeah, they might want to hear one or two songs to feel special. But the whole point of going to a concert, is so you can sing along and dance along to the songs you already know and love. Nobody wants to hear brand new stuff the whole time. Because they're just like, am I gonna like this? Do I? How do I fit but if you hear, you know, we saw Sting. And one of his songs he's most famous for is not his own solo song. It's a song from the police. But I was like, no, I want him to sing that song. That's why I'm here. He did at the end. I was like, this is the best. I don't want to hear your new stuff. I want to hear your old stuff. So I think that like, we have to this the same goes for us as human beings like that imposter syndrome that comes in or that thought that like, oh, my gosh, I need to like level this up. Yes, there's some things you can get better at speaking to a group you can work on that skill set, but they actually want the person that they saw do the thing. That's what they Googled. That's what they were like, oh, yeah, this is the one. And if you were to change that, they'll be like, I'm like, what happened? What happened up here? Joy? Lesley Logan 27:29  Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Crazy.Lesley Logan 28:33  So what are you I mean, like, obviously, it's been like such a transition in 2019. You sold it all, and you changed things and then a couple of years, like you're doing this new thing virtually. Now, hopefully, you're back to traveling. What are you being it until you see it right now? Sandy Joy Weston 28:47  I journal every day, right? So you don't have to? But if you didn't journal that would be weird. But I realized, I for the last few months, was phoning it in meaning like, okay, my word of the day, okay, this is my thing. This is my like, you know, it's like some people who go to church and they go, here's (inaudible) okay, now, I didn't realize that I was phoning it in meaning like just going through the motions because I had to take all these actions. I was getting caught up in the groups that I'm in because I'm in a lot of mastermind groups for keynote speaking and TEDx and stuff like that, that I was doing, okay, this is what I want this is what I want and then but the action that I was taking was like, okay, did I cold call these many people? Did I three people this? And then one of my colleagues said he wants to start journaling and I want to help him. And when I started telling him the importance of embodying it and feeling it I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. I mean, this is not me. This is not how I do things. This is like, I know that it's better to do less and really feel it. So what I started doing is writing down that and envisioning me being on these really big stages during the keynote known as I'm closing my eyes like I'm doing it. The mental and physical fitness visionary, and how that feels is what I've been doing and it's worked for the last month is getting up my family's like she's lost it and pretend I'm on stage. So I can feel that joy. Hey, everybody, thanks for coming. Like, so I'm like, looking over at Tony Robbins, go yo, dude, what up? Thanks for having me. I have this reoccurring dream at night that I'm speaking in Las Vegas at one of the you know, because there's so many conferences there. And Tony's in one of the conferences. So I'm like, yo, Tony, how's it going and tell everybody how we met and I do that. And then I put yourself on a TEDx stage. And this is my big, and I go through and now I'm like, okay, what else do I want? Yeah. And I'm telling you, it's the weirdest thing. It's not weird. I should know it. But something that is not your normal somebody saw me on LinkedIn, and reach out to me do it speak speaking gig in Philly, which you never have the big gigs, right in your own hometown, who saw me perform six years ago in Atlantic City. And now I'm speaking May 11 at this, you know what I'm saying somebody called me. I thought I was interviewing them for my life. Hey, I got something to say show. I'm not kidding you. And this woman comes on she goes, okay, well, what's your pitch for my TEDx? I go, excuse me? I go aren't, aren't I interviewing for my life woman show? She's like, oh, okay, but I thought you would like to be a part of my TEDx. I go, uh-huh, uh-huh. She's like, what's your pitch? And I'm like, here it is. She's like, okay, well, all the paperwork has to come out. But 97% I love you. And I want you there. I'm like, all right.Lesley Logan 32:10  Oh, my goodness. I love this so much. I hope every hope you're hearing this, y'all like, being it, like, being it till you see it, like, first of all, you are embodying it every single day. Like, you're, you're picturing yourself for a few moments every single day, what it's like to be on stage what's like to feel what it's like to say these things so that when these opportunities, there's no such thing as luck it's when preparation meets opportunity. And like had you not actually been spending time with yourself, she could have been like, yeah, so what's your pitch for TEDx? And you're like, if you were to say, let me get back to you, no, like, she was like, okay, maybe next year, like no, like, if you if you're listening to me, you want to have a TEDx. You should know what that TEDx is about already, you should like, take some time so that you can enjoy yourself doing it. I have a little funny story. There was a TEDx here in Las Vegas, it was at my favorite little shopping area, where I get my hair done. And the whole theme of the TEDx is were lights like global like global warming, climate change type of stuff. And the wind had picked up to 70-mile-an-hour gusts. And they're trying to they like, I kudos to them. They kept the TEDx going, even though like their displays are being blown. It's outdoors. It's being like blown over like the weather was like, like having its own TEDx moment. And like, they had to cancel entire an entire event. 10,000 people's tickets were canceled for maybe 20,000 people's tickets were canceled for this like email thing. And we were young concert people now. Anyway, I just laughed so hard because I'm like, this whole thing was famous on like global warming climate change and the weather is like canceling everything. So alright. Anyways, hello, (inaudible) but I just I think like, it's just so cool. These things don't just happen to people. If you're looking at people and like, oh my God, how did they get there? Like, it is, it is taking the time to do the work of the hard stuff and showing up and like really noodling in on the craft that you want to have. And I think that is I love that. I love this. So you're gonna do TEDx at her place? May 11th? Sandy Joy Weston 34:12  Oh, well, May 11th is my big keynote. That's a definite I got a check in the mail and I signed the contracts. The other one I will announce in I think I'm gonna be able to announce it in a few days because she said unless I'm a serial killer. And I fill out the application on it comes out tomorrow, officially.Lesley Logan 34:31  Oh my God.Sandy Joy Weston 34:32  She only had 10 spots. I was second. It wasn't even official. I've reached out to her to be on my hey, I got something to say show. And she read my profile. But she thought that I was reaching out to do her TEDx.Lesley Logan 34:46  I love this. I love it. I love it so much. Well, you'll have to do this because this air the show will air after you know you've heard you'll have to let my team know if you got it. So we on the recap episode we can update people. Sandy Joy, I mean you have just brought so much joy into this space. I'm like feeling 10 times higher than I did when we started this. We're gonna take a brief break and then find out where people can find you, follow you, hear you speak, all those things. Lesley Logan 35:11  All right, Sandy, where do you like to hang out?

And same thing, Sandy Joy Weston, you can find me everywhere.Lesley Logan 35:59  Thank you so much. Okay, before I let you go, you've given us so many great tips, but Be It Action Items - bold, executable, intrinsic, targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it.Sandy Joy Weston 36:09  Okay, this is what I want them to do. I want them to think of that one area of their life that they want to uplevel. Now they might say it's all three, I get it. But pick one. Remember, it's either money career, body health, love relation, pick one, that even for a week, try a week, I don't want to go crazy and say 30 days, go a week. And this is the area you want to uplevel and then all I'm asking you to do is before you get out of bed before those feet hit the floor. Think of one word, just one word of how you want to show up that day in that area. What would you do? What would you say? How would you act if you had ease and flow, power, joy, confidence, courage? It's not gonna take much time it's gonna give you 30 seconds. Come downstairs, write it somewhere, scribble scrabble? And then throughout the day, say am I feeling ease and flow in that area? Am I feeling joy? Am I feeling confident? And if not, don't take action from there yet. Take a step back. See what you can do. Maybe it's just walking outside, stretching, petting your animal and then come back and take action. That's all. Easy peasy.Lesley Logan 37:23  I love it. I can picture it. And I I think it's so fun because it's like if you want to have more fun, and but you're like like in your day, and you're like oh my God I have all these things doing around the house. It's like well how can you make picking the house up more fun? Like what can correct what can you do so you take that step back and you ask the next question all of a sudden, you might have some like 90's rap on and vacuuming you know, I'm just saying, you know, I do that. I don't vacuum but I put the 90's rap on cleaning. Sandy Joy, I'm so glad we met. Thank you so much for saying yes to this podcast. Y'all, how are you going to use these tips in your life? What are your takeaways tag Sandy Joy, tag to the Be It Pod. Let us know which of these list down the words you used and how that goes.

Welcome to I Love Me the Podcast with Tamra Mercieca. In each episode I'll offer you practical, down-to-earth ideas, and easy real-life ways of helping you cultivate a healthy, loving relationship with you. You'll learn how to expand your acceptance and respect for yourself - through short, simple lessons, teachings and practices - so this love can blossom into all corners of your gorgeous life. It's my intention that this podcast invites you into a new way of loving yourself, so you feel happy, whole and complete.   About me… My name is Tamra Mercieca and I've been studying and teaching self-love worldwide for 20-odd years now. In 2011 I launched my online school Getting Naked where I offer programs to help people strip off the layers of conditioning, so they can fall in love with themselves. While I go by many labels - mumma, wife, tea lover, drummer - professionally I'm known as a Self-Love Therapist, Writer and Women's Pelvic Health Guide, qualified in over a dozen modalities. I'm the author of two books, have been published in dozens of print and online publications, appeared on TV many times, and love to share the teachings of self-love at yoga and spirituality festivals. Personally, my journey into the self-love arena began, when I worked out how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety (and get off my meds). I then went on to create a ten-session program where I now help others do the same.

In this episode of Let Go & Lead, Maril talks with Wendy Short Bartie, Senior Vice President & Chief of Staff to the CEO at Bristol Myers Squibb. The gift for leadership that has made Wendy such a fast riser in the pharmaceutical industry, since leaving her original legal career, shines throughout this vibrant conversation. They discuss Wendy's journey as a leader, and how her focus has shifted, over time, from practicing leadership to preparing others to be great leaders; why empathy has a lot to do with understanding gaps between intention and impact; and the crucial role of the leader as “air traffic controller” — the person who actively creates space for a diversity of perspectives and opinions — during meetings. Learn about: 4:58 Building a leadership legacy in an organization 8:32 Leading using the skill of influence 9:16 The power of listening 11:09 The power to S.P.E.A.K. like a leader 16:09 Mentoring and growing great leaders 19:34: The power of an “I Love Me” letter 23:36 The critical leadership art of meeting management 26:04 Being attentive on mental health 36:32 Teambuilding in a hybrid/remote environment —  Wendy Short Bartie is the Senior Vice President and Head of US Oncology.  In this capacity, Wendy is responsible for leading the strategy and operations for solid tumor program in the US market.  A compassionate and strategic leader, her career journey has taken many turns, but her path has always been clear – the commitment to help people - first as a lawyer/public defender, and then as a pharmaceutical industry professional, continuing to act as a voice for those with unmet needs and unequal access. Prior to joining BMS, Wendy was Vice President and Head of Commercial Operations for US Oncology at Merck.  In this capacity, Wendy was responsible for leading the Sales, Key Accounts, Market Access, Pricing and Policy organizations within the US Business Unit.  Previously, Wendy served as Associate Vice-President of Global Marketing for Genitourinary Cancers (GU), including renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer and bladder cancer and as the Global Disease Lead for Women's Cancer.  Prior to joining Merck, Wendy held a range of commercial roles with increasing responsibility in sales, business analytics and marketing in cardiovascular neuroscience, osteoporosis, lung cancer, supportive care and chronic myeloid leukemia at various companies including Novartis, Heron Therapeutics, Johnson and Johnson, Pharmacia and Abbott Labs.   Prior to her career in pharma, Wendy was a Public Defender in Washington, DC and Bronx, New York. Wendy received her Bachelor of Arts from Clark Atlanta University and her Juris Doctor from Loyola University Chicago, School of Law.   Wendy is an HBA Rising Star and was recognized by HBA as a Luminary in 2020. Wendy's favorite hobbies include painting and reading.  When Wendy isn't working, painting and reading, she is serving as Vice President for the Greater Essex County Chapter of Jack and Jill Incorporated and doing philanthropic work to limit the digital divide for children without access to personal computers or internet. Wendy, her husband, Jared, an attorney, and her daughter, Madison, and the family dog, Joy reside in West Orange, New Jersey. ABOUT LET GO & LEAD Let Go & Lead is a leadership community created by Maril MacDonald, founder and CEO of Gagen MacDonald.

Maril is also working on a book incorporating these insights gathered over the past several years from global leaders and change makers.   Maril has interviewed over 120 leaders — from business to academia and nonprofits to the arts — through the years.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Jennifer Decilveo over Zoom video!Since breaking through with Andra Day's 2015 hit “Rise Up,” Decilveo has carved out a place as one of music's most exciting and experimental new writer-producers, crafting critically-acclaimed tracks with Beth Ditto, Hinds, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and more. Decilveo never planned on a career in music. She grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Pennsylvania's Lehigh University with a degree in finance. She scored a job at Deloitte, where she spent most of her days looking at Excel spreadsheets.Decilveo had recently seen a clip of hitmaker Kara DioGuardi on YouTube, singing a hit she'd written for Kelly Clarkson. “Oh, so this is a job, huh?” she remembers thinking. Decilveo quit her finance job to intern at a Manhattan studio. She spent a summer writing songs and teaching herself Logic. She moved to L.A., where her BMG publisher introduced her to Andra Day, a jazz-schooled powerhouse who was working on her first album. They wrote “Rise Up,” a four-chord gospel anthem about getting through dark times. The song was nominated for two Grammys and remains a modern standard: Per President Obama's request, she sang it at the Obama Foundation Summit concert in Chicago, and again on the steps of Washington D.C.'s Roosevelt Hotel during President Biden's inaugural parade.Decilveo has been gaining momentum ever since. She co-produced and co-wrote Melanie Martinez' "Play Date,” which became a sleeper hit in 2020, going platinum and scoring over 500 million streams. She produced and co-wrote Madrid indie band Hinds' third studio album The Prettiest Curse, and seven tracks on Ben Platt's acclaimed debut Sing to Me Instead (which she also executive produced). She recently co-wrote two deeply confessional hits; Demi Lovato's “I Love Me,” and Miley Cyrus' “High” off 2021's Plastic Hearts. In the process, Decilveo has created a lane for sonically wild and deeply personal stories on the radio.Decilveo has a huge 2021 lined up. She produced three singles on Marina Diamandis' new LP Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, and executive produced and co-wrote Christina Perri's forthcoming studio album, due out in the near future. She is also working with the rising Memphis soul singer Valerie June, and wrote the upcoming lead single by Glassnote artist Taylor Janzen, which will be released ahead of Janzen's anticipated Lollapalooza set.We want to hear from you!

*This episode is dedicated to Barbara Lee Silvia* This is the Mother's Day special of In the Know with Erin Glow. In this themed episode, which celebrates all things mom, “Positive Mom” blogger, Elayna Fernandez talks about her journey as a mom in America. I also sit down with my sisters, Debbie and Dawn, to talk about their motherhood journeys. Mother-related fun facts, and song, movie, and TV show suggestions are also featured, as well as a special giveaway.  We then cap it off with a special tribute to my mom, who passed away in December 2021. I hope you all enjoy. Happy Mother's Day, everyone. "There are so many kinds of mother. The mothers you cherish and celebrate. The mothers who were never really there. The mothers who broke you. Who built you. The mothers who cheered you on. Who chipped away at you until you were dust. The mothers who reveled in your astonishing intelligence and grace and power. Who saw only their own light. The mothers who died painfully young. The mothers who lived so long you felt yourself disintegrating with them. Petal by wilted petal. The mothers who shined. Who dimmed. Who did their best. Who disappointed. Who redeemed themselves. Who accepted your redemption. Who zigged and zagged. The mothers who were a beacon. The mothers you never knew. The mothers who sewed themselves into the quilt you became. The mothers who couldn't bear to tell the truth. The mothers who were brave. The mothers who didn't know who they were without you. Who never saw you no matter how wildly you waved. The mothers who grieved you. Who believed in you. The mothers you call. The mothers you no longer speak to. The mothers you take for granted. Or treasure. The dead mothers. The mothers you have to search for and carry. The mothers you find in people who are not your mother. The mothers like a limb. The mothers like a mirror. The mothers like a flame. The mothers you wish. The mothers you love. The mothers you ache. The mothers you echo. The mothers you wanted to be. The mothers you became. I am thinking of you. I am holding you all." -Cheryl Strayed *For more information about Elayna please visit: www.thepositivemom.com Find out more about Elayna's daughters' book, I Love Me!, at: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Me-Self-Esteem-Seven-Morgan/dp/1630471402 For more information on Erin Glow please visit: www.eringlow.com.

Jessica AKA Jessie (Susa)  currently works in HealthCare and as a   Peer Support Specialist/Case manager. She is  a warm-hearted loving woman with a huge heart who enjoys helping others. She has  used her  past to fuel my future to become the better version of herself.People have asked herwould she change what she has gone through e.g. being sex trafficked as a child to family and friends, beatings just because my father was bored, addicted to drugs, alcohol and cigarettes since the age of 9,  raped at the age of 14 then became pregnant…Just to mention a few. Her answer is always “NO” Why? You ask. "Because the hurts and pains have made me who I am today and I LOVE ME! If I would not have gone through those horrific situations I might have turned out like my father. A MONSTER."During life's course she became lost, addicted and homeless. Struggling to just be OK. She lost count at 50 suicide attempts. Why so many? "My 1st attempt was at age 10. (I was tired) At age 21 I was sentenced to 12 years in prison for vehicular homicide 2 counts. One of the persons that was in the car with me that died was my 3 year old son. The other was a 19 year old young man. I completely lost my mind and had a nervous breakdown. I wanted life to end." On 12.10.18 her 33 year addiction ended. "I fell on my knees, lifted my arms to the sky and cried out to God “Please help me I can't do it anymore” He held onto my hand, never letting go and I've been sober since." She has published a compilation book called “Never Alone” . February 2021 she  found a community called Radical Body Transformations.This was the missing piece. This is a judgement free zone. This community helped her come out of her shell, accepted  her  for who she was and supported her even after knowing of her past. WOW! How great is that! She has won 2 competitions, but what's even greater than that is she says her  mind, health, physical and spiritual well-being has been restored. "I now know I have a purpose and I have our Lord to thank for never giving up on me. I will end with this bible verse that I have held onto since a child. This scripture got me through life when I felt I had no one and I felt all hope was gone." Jeremiah 29:11“For I know the thoughts I think towards you,says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and notof evil, to give you a future and a hope”.FB- Jessie Romero www.mindbodysoul365.com Tower Gardens Grow your own fresh produce in your own home without any herbicides, pesticides and no soilSalty Britches® Chafing and Winter Skin CHAFFING CREAMATHLETICGREENS AG1 IS A ALL IN ONE SUPPLEMENT WITH OVER 75 IMPORTANT NURTRITIONAL INGREDIANSTSBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

The world is filled with naysayers, which is why you have to suit up and prepare yourself for whatever comes your way. It's time we started to guard our mindsets, and fill our cups with positivity and self-love. In this episode, Elonda draws inspiration from Demi Lovato's song ‘I Love Me', to tell you why loving yourself should be your number one priority! What are you feeding your mind with? Are you questioning your self-worth? Tune in to learn how to hone and shift your mindset to become the best version of yourself.    KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS: Always boost yourself first.  Catching yourself in a negative mindset (and changing it!) Who do you surround yourself with? Suiting up: protecting your energy and peace.  Ask yourself: Is it serving me or am I serving it?   QUOTABLES: “The more you set those boundaries, and the more you put yourself in a position of not being disrespected or hurt by the actions of others, I guarantee you, you will notice a difference.”   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES MENTIONED: Like what you're hearing?

Part 1 On a Saturday I visited my sister and brother-in-law to spend some time with them and my nieces. My oldest niece who was nine, now eleven was having a fundraiser for her school. She had asked me if I wanted to contribute and I hesitated because her presentation to me needed some work. I asked her how many people she signed up on the list and it was two. Now I know my niece is a superstar, so with permission from her parents she was allowed to go out in her neighborhood ask for more donations. Before me and her went outside, she had to work on her presentation. In one hour, we came back with 12 more names signed on her fundraiser sheet. The secret was to let her know she was a superstar and give her a little support. Her confidence was out the roof and she was determined to fill up the entire fundraiser sheet. I'm telling you this story because you are a superstar just like my niece and you have my support. I'm rooting for you to do amazing things today on this superstar Saturday.
