We all have a history (HERstory.) How are you writing yours in your present? Today I show you how to begin sharing a new story. The only way to tell a new story is to get a new perspective. Yes, you can think of it like this...the number one weapon you have in writing a new story is your PERSPECTIVE. Kim McMillan said, “When I loved myself enough, I started writing about my life and views because I knew this was my right and my responsibility. Here are 3 ways to begin living a new story… - Your past. - Your present. - Your future. Or... The "were," the "was," and the "will be." OR…the I AM. Answer these 3 questions with I AM statements... 1. What have you lived and learned from your past? 2. What are you loving and learning in your present? 3. What are you looking forward to creating with what you now know? It's not about right or wrong. Then and now. It's about how you're doing in the now as you live and create your WOW. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Answer these questions, and begin writing the story you love sharing.

If you believe a lie, then you're living one. I know that sounds harsh, but it's true. Imagine if you could live in the freedom and clarity of TRUTH. Today I give you 3 KEYS to tap into your truth and become hyper focused… Kim McMillan learned, “When I loved myself enough I could tell the truth about my gifts and my limitations.” The GIFT of LIMITS… Let's redefine limitations as “boundaries.” Then let's define how we'd like our playground to look and feel. If you desire clarity, then you must tell the TRUTH… Key #1: Tell me your gifts Key #2: Tell me what you do know. Key #3: Tell me what you do want… Then let's go deeper with DESIRE. The fire of desire will inspire your daily fire. What fires you up? Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: What fires you up?

If you've been seeking greater joy, happiness, and movement in your then this is going to speak directly to your heart and soul. Marie Kondo (Bestselling Author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up) recommends we make choices about our belongings based on whether or not it sparks joy. I love it. I agree. And I've practiced a very similar p hilosophy as Marie for years. But does YOUR LIFE spark joy? Do YOU spark joy? This is today's million dollar question…. DO YOU SPARK JOY? You are the common denominator in ALL your experiences here on planet earth. So imagine if you could cut to the JOY as quickly and joyfully as possible. Imagine if you could let go of all the "conditions" that are keeping you from experiencing joy now. Is it weight that you want to lose so then you'll be happy? Is it a loving relationship that you desire, because then you'll be joyful? Is it more money? A new business? A new boss? What is it for you that you feel you need to be happy? Now, think about it, and hold it in your consciousness. Feel it. I mean, really feel it. Take a deep breath. Now, carry that JOY into your day. YOU be the spark that gets the joy candle burning. Got it? Could it really be this easy? It IS, unless you do this… THIS ONE THING WILL KILL YOUR JOY FASTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE. It's the belief that you have to do it perfectly in order to be joyful, happy, satisfied, fulfilled… Kim McMillan reminds us today, “When I loved myself enough I gave up perfectionism — that killer of joy." I couldn't agree more. I spent the majority of my life living in that space. Until I went through one, two, then three divorces…it was obvious to me that my life wasn't perfect, and neither was I. So I decided to give up the belief that I had to be, and I simply and profoundly committed to being fully me. What's perfect anyway? Someone once told me that perfect is boring. And today you can see that it's also a killer. It's time to resurrect your joy, my dear and this is how to do that... J.O.Y. J - Just do it. O - Overcome by becoming. Y - YOU. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Where in your life are trying to “do it” perfectly? Make a commitment to yourself today to begin sparking JOY in your life by letting go of anything that robs your joy —including past beliefs about what it means to be perfect. Joyfully and fully in JOY. Thanks for tuning in today, and every day...and allowing me to SIP ON LIFE with you.

When you begin seeing it as abuse, you'll stop doing it… FORCE. Stop trying to force yourself, or anyone else, into doing something you, he, or she are not ready to do. Kim McMillan reminds us, “When I loved myself enough I began seeing the abuse in trying to force something or someone who isn't ready — including me.” Abusive? Aggressive? Assertive? Attentive? There's no need to force it. It's all in good time. If it's out of time, it's abuse. If it's a hard time, it's aggressive. If it's ahead of time, it's assertive. If it's on time, it's attentive. If it's IN TIME, it's alive. Force can be creatively life-giving and awe-inspiring. Let's redefine FORCE... F.O.R.C.E. Freedom. Opportunity. Real. Real time. Celebrate. Enjoy. IN joy. Stop. Trying. Start. Doing. When you're ready. Ready. Set. GROW. (This is based on the profound little book, When I Loved Myself Enough by Kim McMillen and Alison McMillen-Givnish. You can order a copy HERE.) Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: How are you abusing yourself? Please write yourself an apology letter today.

Own your own forgiveness. F.R.E.E. Forget to get Remember to be reminded Engage to be MERRY'D. Empathize to empower.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increased use of the terms “healthcare provider burnout” and “healthcare heroes”. Within the media, we have seen these terms be trending hashtags, top news headlines, or may have heard them stated by government officials in their press releases...but what do they really mean? In this episode from Raw Talk you will hear from our guests - Dr. Kim McMillan a nurse-researcher and assistant professor at the University of Ottawa; Dr. Amit Arya a palliative care physician at North York General and Kensington Hospice; medical residents Dr. Simone Bernstein from Washington University and Dr. Yezarni Wynn from the University of Toronto; and a nurse and PhD candidate Emily Rowland from the University of Toronto - burnout affects each person differently and has a rippling effect for both the individual and the health system as a whole. Further, our guests share their perspectives of what a “healthcare hero” means to them; perspectives that may be different from how they were portrayed in the media. Finally, we conclude our episode with ideas to decrease provider burnout and advice for our medical learner listeners. Happy listening!

The pandemic has taken its toll on nurses. Some are leaving the profession, while others are burned out, working long hours and trying to provide sufficient care amid staffing shortages. To discuss how we can alleviate the pressures on nurses, as well as how we can attract more Canadians to the profession, guest host Robyn Bresnahan talks to two nurses about their experiences. We also speak to Kim McMillan, assistant professor of nursing and health sciences at University of Ottawa.

The only way to tell a new story is to get a new perspective. Yes, you can think of it like this...the number one weapon you have in writing a new story is your PERSPECTIVE. Kim McMillan said, “When I loved myself enough, I started writing about my life and views because I knew this was my right and my responsibility. Here are 3 ways to begin living a new story… - Your past. - Your present. - Your future. Or... The "were," the "was," and the "will be." OR…the I AM. Answer these 3 questions with I AM statements... 1. What have you lived and learned from your past? 2. What are you loving and learning in your present? 3. What are you looking forward to creating with what you now know? It’s not about right or wrong. Then and now. It’s about how you’re doing in the now as you live and create your WOW.

Marie Kondo (Bestselling Author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up) recommends we make choices about our belongings based on whether or not it sparks joy. I love it. I agree. And I’ve practiced a very similar p hilosophy as Marie for years. But does YOUR LIFE spark joy? Do YOU spark joy? This is today’s million dollar question…. DO YOU SPARK JOY? You are the common denominator in ALL your experiences here on planet earth. So imagine if you could cut to the JOY as quickly and joyfully as possible. Imagine if you could let go of all the "conditions" that are keeping you from experiencing joy now. Is it weight that you want to lose so then you’ll be happy? Is it a loving relationship that you desire, because then you’ll be joyful? Is it more money? A new business? A new boss? What is it for you that you feel you need to be happy? Now, think about it, and hold it in your consciousness. Feel it. I mean, really feel it. Take a deep breath. Now, carry that JOY into your day. YOU be the spark that gets the joy candle burning. Got it? Could it really be this easy? It IS, unless you do this… THIS ONE THING WILL KILL YOUR JOY FASTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE. It’s the belief that you have to do it perfectly in order to be joyful, happy, satisfied, fulfilled… Kim McMillan reminds us today, “When I loved myself enough I gave up perfectionism — that killer of joy." I couldn’t agree more. I spent the majority of my life living in that space. Until I went through one, two, then three divorces…it was obvious to me that my life wasn’t perfect, and neither was I. So I decided to give up the belief that I had to be, and I simply and profoundly committed to being fully me. What’s perfect anyway? Someone once told me that perfect is boring. And today you can see that it’s also a killer. It’s time to resurrect your joy, my dear and this is how to do that... J.O.Y. J - Just do it. O - Overcome by becoming. Y - YOU. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Where in your life are trying to “do it” perfectly? Make a commitment to yourself today to begin sparking JOY in your life by letting go of anything that robs your joy —including past beliefs about what it means to be perfect. Joyfully and fully in JOY. Thank you for being here, and allowing me to Sip On Life with you. I’m going to be inviting listeners onto the program.

FORCE. Stop trying to force yourself, or anyone else, into doing something you, he, or she are not ready to do. Kim McMillan reminds us, “When I loved myself enough I began seeing the abuse in trying to force something or someone who isn’t ready — including me.” Abusive? Aggressive? Assertive? Attentive? There's no need to force it. It’s all in good time. If it’s out of time, it’s abuse. If it’s a hard time, it’s aggressive. If it’s ahead of time, it’s assertive. If it’s on time, it’s attentive. If it’s IN TIME, it’s alive. Force can be creatively life-giving and awe-inspiring. Let's redefine FORCE... F.O.R.C.E. Freedom. Opportunity. Real. Real time. Celebrate. Enjoy. IN joy. Stop. Trying.

Marie Kondo (Bestselling Author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up) recommends we make choices about our belongings based on whether or not it sparks joy. I love it. I agree. And I’ve practiced a very similar p hilosophy as Marie for years. But does YOUR LIFE spark joy? Do YOU spark joy? This is today’s million dollar question…. DO YOU SPARK JOY? You are the common denominator in ALL your experiences here on planet earth. So imagine if you could cut to the JOY as quickly and joyfully as possible. Imagine if you could let go of all the "conditions" that are keeping you from experiencing joy now. Is it weight that you want to lose so then you’ll be happy? Is it a loving relationship that you desire, because then you’ll be joyful? Is it more money? A new business? A new boss? What is it for you that you feel you need to be happy? Now, think about it, and hold it in your consciousness. Feel it. I mean, really feel it. Take a deep breath. Now, carry that JOY into your day. YOU be the spark that gets the joy candle burning. Got it? Could it really be this easy? It IS, unless you do this… THIS ONE THING WILL KILL YOUR JOY FASTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE. It’s the belief that you have to do it perfectly in order to be joyful, happy, satisfied, fulfilled… Kim McMillan reminds us today, “When I loved myself enough I gave up perfectionism — that killer of joy." I couldn’t agree more. I spent the majority of my life living in that space. Until I went through one, two, then three divorces…it was obvious to me that my life wasn’t perfect, and neither was I. So I decided to give up the belief that I had to be, and I simply and profoundly committed to being fully me. What’s perfect anyway? Someone once told me that perfect is boring. And today you can see that it’s also a killer. It’s time to resurrect your joy, my dear and this is how to do that... J.O.Y. J - Just do it. O - Overcome by becoming. Y - YOU. Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Where in your life are trying to “do it” perfectly? Make a commitment to yourself today to begin sparking JOY in your life by letting go of anything that robs your joy —including past beliefs about what it means to be perfect. Joyfully and fully in JOY. If you’ve been feeling like you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or perhaps you still feel like you’re drowning in your life, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

My hope is that you will look back on today — that WE will look back on this day in history — and say, that was an historical (HERstorical) day!

You have no idea how much you inspire me to keep sipping and sharing. #2 - My dear love, Pablo. Thank you for all your love, encouragement, and selfless support. #3 - All the heartache and pain my heart and soul have GROWN through. I wouldn’t have so much to say if it wasn’t for the many stories of healing written on my heart. Thank you, God! #4 - The SONG in my soul. Then that keeps singing a hopeful, inspired tune…and keeps inviting me to continue going deeper in the romantic S.O.L. ADVENTURE. Kim McMillan found out. “When I loved myself enough I would sometimes wake in the night to music playing within me.” What is the SONG of your soul? Let's find out with this S.O.N.G. S - What SCARES you? O - What seems ORDINARY to you because you think it’s common? It’s not. Look deeper, and further. What’s beyond the horizon that you can currently see. N- What feels like a NEED to you? Like food and water… G - What GIFT(S) are in you that require your gratitude? If you were really grateful for this gift, how would you SHOW IT? How would you SING IT? (This is the continuation of our Enough Is Enough Series — based on the profound little book, When I Loved Myself Enough by Kim McMillen and Alison McMillen-Givnish.

FORCE. Stop trying to force yourself, or anyone else, into doing something you, he, or she are not ready to do. Kim McMillan reminds us, “When I loved myself enough I began seeing the abuse in trying to force something or someone who isn’t ready — including me.” Abusive? Aggressive? Assertive? Attentive? There's no need to force it. It’s all in good time. If it’s out of time, it’s abuse. If it’s a hard time, it’s aggressive. If it’s ahead of time, it’s assertive. If it’s on time, it’s attentive. If it’s IN TIME, it’s alive. Force can be creatively life-giving and awe-inspiring. Let's redefine FORCE... F.O.R.C.E. Freedom. Opportunity. Real. Real time. Celebrate. Enjoy. IN joy. Stop. Trying. Start. Doing. When you're ready. Ready. Set. GROW.

Stop TRYING. And stop trying so hard. Kim McMillan found out “When I loved myself enough I quit exhausting myself by trying so hard.” Trying is exhausting. It’s not expressing. Watch someone who’s “trying” and you’ll see no action or action with NO results. It’s exhausting. Stop exhausting yourself and others, dear soul. When we stop trying, we can start doing — with ease, expression, and exponential results. It's time to redefine T.R.Y. and find your DO within you. T.R.Y. Trust. When the student is ready the teacher appears. Wherever you go, there you are. Trust and you will see…and be. Redefine What it once meant to you, may no longer be what it means to you. In fact, “it” may be being “mean” to you. Yes. Let your yes be yes. 100% YES. If it’s not, then it’s a NO. TRY. DOING. This new way of T.R.Y. will allow you to BE in such a way that it positions YOU to DO. Isn’t that good news?! YES, IT IS. Now, let’s quit talking and began doing so we can show and tell… (This is the continuation of our Enough Is Enough Series — based on the profound little book, When I Loved Myself Enough by Kim McMillen and Alison McMillen-Givnish.

Kim McMillan said it well, “When I loved myself enough I began to feel a divine presence in me and hear its guidance. I am learning to trust this and live from it.” There is a Divine Presence within you. YOU. ARE. DIVINE. God, the Creator of the Universe, made YOU in His own image. Do you know what this means? It means that you were designed in the IMAGE OF LOVE. YOU are made with the DNA OF DIVINE LOVE. That’s incredible. That’s genetically genius, right? And so are YOU. It’s IN you, and YOU can choose to live and love in it and from it. You are DIVINELY DESIGNED. Not just in the beginning, but throughout your entire life. In order to know this, you must begin seeing your Divine Nature and listening to your Divine Inner Voice… It’s NOT YOUR voice. It’s the voice of the ONE who created YOU. But it’s also YOUR VOICE, because it’s the voice that is speaking uniquely to YOU. It’s for YOU. Customized. Personalized. Specialized. Divinely inspired and spoken. People ask me all the time, “But what if I’m hearing my own voice, and it’s really not the voice of God?” This is how you’ll know… 1. Does it give you peace that goes beyond your own understanding? 2. Does it bring freedom in your life? Freedom to your life? Knowledge of the TRUTH sets us free. 3. Do you KNOW? If I think it’s God, it’s probably not. When I feel as though I know it’s God…it probably is. And this is HOW to HEAR the VOICE I’m talking about… Love. Listen. Learn. Live. One of the most loving things I do for myself is recognizing and receiving my abundant, prosperous life with thanksgiving. Even on the days when it doesn’t always feel this way. And in fact, ESPECIALLY on these days. AND…I ASK. I ask a lot of questions. I literally talk to (with) God. And I listen. I learn. I receive with a grateful heart in meditation, and in the daily act of being aware. I listen in meditation, and by being aware of what my life is showing and telling me, I hear the voice of God. I pray and praise. And I ASK…in that moment. I ask empowering, heartfelt questions. And I get answers. I ask and receive. Those who ask are those who receive. Those who seek are those who find. Pay attention, my dear. You may be asking FOR stuff, while being so distracted by what you THINK it “should” look like that you don’t see what it really is, and can be. Is that you today? Perhaps this is you… Be aware. Listen. Be ready, willing, and open, to receive. Be ready, willing, and open, to SEE AND HEAR THE TRUTH WITH YOUR HEART. GOD IS TRUE, ABIDING, UNFAILING LOVE.

I agree. It's time for some PASSION! So let’s get down to business. Let’s stop the busy-ness and nonsense. Let’s get to the heart of your matter. The value of YOU. And begin investing your value with your very own PASSION PROJECT. Or as I like to say, “PASS I ON…” Yes, it’s time to PASS I ON. As only YOU can do! But first you must STOP THIS…SO YOU CAN START THAT… QUIT. QUIT PROJECTING. SO YOU CAN BEGIN YOUR PROJECT. Kim McMillan reminds us, “When I loved myself enough I quit projecting my strengths and weaknesses on to others and kept them as my own.” And stop making everyone else your “PROJECT,” or fixing YOU as your project. I guarantee that if you stopped doing this, you’d have so much more FUN. You’d find so much more time in your day…life. And you’d probably make more finances too! PROJECT. PASSION.

You came to planet earth whole. You will leave here whole. YOU. ARE. WHOLE. Imagine if you stopped trying to “be whole” or fix your brokenness…and instead began to explore your WHOLE self. To love every piece of your wholeness. Every square inch of YOU. Perhaps you’re feeling broken, but guess what my dear? You’re hurting, yes…but you are NOT broken. You don’t need fixing. You simply need to get some things working. They can, and will, work if you WORK WITH you and not WITHOUT OR AGAINST YOU. Does this make sense? Perhaps it makes sense in your mind, but your heart’s not feeling it? I get it. Kim McMillan discovered, “When I loved myself enough I began to comprehend the complexity, mystery and vastness of my soul. How foolish to think I can know the meaning of another’s life.” You’ll only know the meaning of YOUR life when you KNOW WHAT MEANING you give (and bring) to it. When you get to KNOW YOU. How? WONDER. Hmm, I wonder? You are simply complex. Simply profound. Complexly simple. Profoundly simple. When you become FULL of WONDER, you come to know that you are WONDERFUL.

Kim McMillan, “When I loved myself enough I no longer needed things or people to make me feel safe.” Another word for safe is trust. Where and/or in whom are you putting your trust? Do you trust yourself, and are you trustworthy? TRUST YOUR S.A.F.E. Security. Insecurity? Attention. Giving yourself attention. Attending to your heart and soul. Fearlessness. Fearless isn’t being without fear. It’s fearing less. Engagement. Being fully WITH YOU so you no longer go without, because you no longer go without you — you travel WITH you.

Perhaps you're not the only one who's feeling what you're feeling...let's discover what's really going on under the surface of your skin. Kim McMillan said, “When I loved myself enough I learned to ask, ‘Who in me is feeling this way?” when I feel anxious, angry, restless or sad. If I listen patiently I discover who needs my love.” IF we listen patiently, we'll discover... IF we listen with our heart. Who is speaking? Is she the little girl? Is she the teenager? Is she the adult woman? Is she your older wiser self? Are you're feeling...and who is feeling it? Mad? The one who is hurt. Bad? The one who is judged. Sad? The one who feels unloved. Glad? The one who feels hopeful. (This is the continuation of our Enough Is Enough Series — based on the profound little book, When I Loved Myself Enough by Kim McMillen and Alison McMillen-Givnish.

Kim McMillan said it well, “When I loved myself enough I came to feel like a gift to the world and I collected beautiful ribbons and bows.

Kim McMillan said this, “When I loved myself enough I started meditating every day. This is a profound act of self love.” L. O. V. E. Listen and receive. Open up and receive. Visualize and receive. Engage and receive. What meditation is NOT? It’s not a have to, shoulda, woulda, coulda. What it is? It’s a commitment to SHOW UP. FOR YOURSELF. MEditation starts with ME for a reason. It’s not your time to pray or praise, it’s your time to be FILLED UP by God. This is what I know about meditation, and this is how (and why) I meditate.

YOU. BECOME. Kim McMillan discovered, “When I loved myself enough my heart became so tender that it could welcome joy and sorrow equally.” This is the key for love and life. It’s all necessary. The Yin, the Yang, the dark, the light, the good, the not so good. It’s all good, and required, when we allow our hearts to become the healer they were created to be. The path: TRUST. Trust, my dear.

If you're feeling with your head, guess what? You're going to have a headache...a lot of them. Kim McMillan said, “When I loved myself enough I started feeling all my feelings, not analyzing them — really feeling them. When I do, something amazing happens. Try it. You will see.” Notice the words: "I started." This is vital. Start with your heart, and it will start your heart’s healing power. When we stop starting and stopping and starting and stopping…but instead, we push “play” on our feelings and feel them, healing begins and continues. The conductor is the HEART. The most powerful lesson I’ve learned about feeling and healing from my heart is this. "Feel it, don’t feed it." We feel it with our hearts. We feed it with your heads. And the best way to know is to feel it for yourself. I invite you.

Kim McMillan said it well, “When I loved myself enough I quit ignoring or tolerating my pain.” Stop ignoring. Just because you ignore it doesn't make it go away. Stop tolerating. Whatever we tolerate will stick around. Stop owning the pain as your OWN. Instead, do this ONE THING... Own the responsibility of discovering the cause of your pain and the CAUSE of your life. It's in discovery that we find the possibility of recovery. It's in feeling that we find healing. It's in rest that we find restoration.

Do you desire clarity? Kim McMillan said, "When I loved myself enough the parts of me long ignored, the orphans of my soul, quit vying for attention. That was the beginning of inner peace.
