Welcome to Wake Up & Dream, the podcast dedicated to inspiring you to “wake up” to your inner desires, your purpose and passions, in your family, your job, and your personal pursuits. Our goal is to inspire you to embrace your gifts, talents, and live in alignment with your dreams and passions.   In this episode we discussed the emotional and practical challenges stay-at-home moms face when they decide to pursue passions and careers outside of the home. From battling self-doubt to balancing family and personal aspirations. Kelley shared how empowering her involvement in a direct sales company was and how it helped to pull her out of a downward spiral in her personal/family life.  We would love to hear how this episode encouraged to consider a side-gig!

Today Lisa had the pleasure to interview one of her team members, Jodi Benusa!  Jodi joined a direct sales company, L'BRI PURE n' NATURAL, about 7 years ago and got off to a great start, and then the pandemic hit.  She was working full-time as a social worker at a hospital and the stress escalated, and her side gig had to take a “back seat” and she lost her desire to grow a business due to the workload her job required.   But a few years ago, Jodi made the decision to create her own business, and was able to walk away from her full-time job at the hospital.  This was also the time she made the decision to put more time and dedication into her direct sales business.     As you listen to Jodi's story, you will hear the struggles she forged through and all of the personal growth that she has experienced because of her involvement and work within her direct sales business!  You will also hear how just making the decision to say YES to a side gig in L'BRI has impacted her life and her success.  Listen in and be encouraged by her stories as well as her words of wisdom to anyone thinking of saying “yes” to starting a side gig!   Jodi Kay Benusa is a Supervisor with L'BRI PURE n' NATURAL, and you can reach out to her via email at jodikay63@gmail.com or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jodi.slampbenusa or Instagram @jodikaybenusa  Or check out all that L'BRI has to offer at her website:  www.lbri.com/jodibenusa       And as always, feel free to reach out to Lisa Taylor during this Summer Side-Gig Series, for a chance to explore the possibilities of your very own side-gig, or to try L'BRI's Free 7-10 Day Sample Set.  More information can be found here www.lbri.com/lisatay/free-samples Contact Lisa Taylor at lisatay.lbri@gmail.com or follow her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LisaBakkenTaylor or Instagram @lisa.kay.taylor

This is the second interview in our Summer Side-Gig Series where we have been talking about things to consider before saying “yes” to a side-gig with a direct sales company, what questions to ask and reasons why direct sales is an excellent decision if you are needing and wanting more options in your life.   Today Lisa interviewed an Oklahoma homeschool mom of 4 who said yes to L'BRI initially because money was tight, she saw how these natural aloe-first products had helped her son's eczema, and saw how she could get the products she wanted for her family at a deep discount.    But when Shawna began to increase her “mustard-size” faith in what this business could do, and grabbed onto the belief that this could be the “vehicle” that would produce the extra money they would need to purchase a camper for the family to travel in, AND the potential for her to earn the car to pull that camper, she began to truly “wake up and dream.”   Are you sick and tired of living paycheck to paycheck, and have considered starting a side-gig?  Perhaps you are a homeschool mom like Shawna, desiring more options on your time schedule.  Connect with Shawna if you have questions or want more info about starting your own side-gig.   Shawna Bellomy is an Executive Manager with L'BRI PURE n' NATURAL, and you can reach out to her via email at Bellomystuff@gmail, or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/shawna.bellomy or Instagram @_shawna_bellomy_   Or check out all that L'BRI has to offer at her website:  www.lbri.com/shawnab       And as always, feel free to reach out to Lisa Taylor during this Summer Side-Gig Series, for a chance to explore the possibilities of your very own side-gig, or to try L'BRI's Free 7-10 Day Sample Set.  More information can be found here www.lbri.com/lisatay/free-samples Contact Lisa Taylor at lisatay.lbri@gmail.com or follow her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LisaBakkenTaylor or Instagram @lisa.kay.taylor

For Sara, it is not about the money or starting a side-hustle; it is about serving and helping women who have a story to share to be able to have a voice in the world through podcasting!   She has helped these ladies launch their own podcast, and we want to encourage you to check these podcasts out: Living your Abundant Life, with Financial coach Jen Piala https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/living-your-abundant-life/id1715665337  Latina Growth Journey, with Chris Madrigal https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/latina-growth-journey-podcast-tips-to-reprogram-your/id1726447094  Echos of Impact, with Brianna Gray https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/echos-of-impact/id1745017999  DeClutter 360, with Lauren Dieckman https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/declutter-360-podcast/id1744626658    Your story might be exactly what someone needs to hear.  If you have a message stirring in your heart, take the next step!  If you would like to have a Discovery Call with Sara, to talk about your message and how she might be able to help you launch, email her at sara@saracarlisi.com.   We would love to hear how this episode encouraged you!

Ever “talk yourself” off the ledge?  Ever wish you had a counselor/coach you could access on speed dial?  Well, you do.  YOU can be your own counselor/coach, if only you pause and do a little “self-coaching” as we like to call it.   Anxiety, stress, and the desire to be in control are all a part of human existence.  But self-coaching can help you manage these thoughts and feelings. Using an inner conversational dialogue, you can coach the part of you that is feeling out of control and/or afraid.  You can reassure it that she is going to get through this.  Comfort her that “you” are there to take care of her and that her feelings matter.  And encourage her to “let it go” and surrender to the process.   You can also coach yourself by asking yourself these questions: Is what I am thinking Fact or Opinion? What part of this can I control and what parts do I need to let go of?   Your body can also be a great coaching resource because it is also communicating with you.  The question is, “Are we listening?”  If you feel your body tensing, it may be reminding you to slow down, pause, say no to something, be aware of your situation and the emotions that are coming up for you.   Take 3 minutes. Stop. Pause.  Breathe.  Ask yourself:  What is most important here?  Where can I give a little?  What can I do differently to help manage my to-do list?   It is a journey!  Be in the moment, and remember:  YOU matter!   We would love to hear how this episode encouraged you!

In this episode, Sara shared some “ah-ha's” that she had recently as she has been serving on the board of One Tough Cookie, a non-profit that is on mission to support those battling cancer as well as the caregivers with care packages.  Her involvement in a recent fundraiser spurred her to experience some deep fulfillment that is alignment with her purpose.   Maybe you can relate to Sara who once believed that her career had to be in alignment with her purpose, which at times, left her feeling frustrated and lacking zeal.  This involvement with a local non-profit has helped shift some of these paradigms.  What she has discovered is that she can have a career (and may even enjoy what she is doing at work) but find more of her true passion and purpose outside of her career!   How about you?  Have you taken the time to think about what lights you up?  What brings you the most joy and fulfillment?  That may be your career, but it might be your relationships with family, your involvement at church or some other organization.  And in today's episode, we want to give you permission to explore your purpose, even if that happens to be outside your role at work.   Let us know where you most feel like you are living your purpose!  We would love to hear how this episode encouraged or challenged you!

With the end of the school year, planning vacations, summer camps, etc…this can be a crazy time of busyness, especially for us mams!  New routines are coming, and we just want to check in with you to see how you are feeling about all of this busyness!   Pause!  Check in with your feelings!  Do you do that?  Or do you just scramble around, stressed out, trying to make it all happen?  As mamas, we can easily run ourselves ragged and forget that we matter!  In this episode we took a closer at busyness and the power of our thoughts, emotions, and how we “show up” in this transition and season.   Here are some practical tips: Prep/Plan.  Print off a calendar so you can see the next 3 month's activities. Say NO to some of the things that are not necessary or extra. Manage your thoughts.  Stay in awareness. Delegate.  Ask for help. Breathe.  Remember to take time for YOU!   Let us know which of these tips you found helpful and plan to apply to your busyness!   We would love to hear how this episode encouraged or challenged you!

Happy Mother's Day!  With that being said, we wanted to take a little time on this episode to talk about the varying emotions that can be stirred up when it comes to this day called Mother's Day.  We understand that for some of you this is a joyous day to be with your children, your mom, and/or loved ones.  But for others of you, this day is a reminder of the pain of loss, the sorrow of “what you hoped motherhood would be like,” or maybe you are separated from your children and grieve the distance between you.  Or perhaps you don't have a good, healthy relationship with your mom, so that is an internal battle, especially on the day we are told to honor our moms. Or maybe you have other emotions and circumstances we didn't mention.   Regardless of the emotions that you have around Mother's Day, we want to assure you of one thing: We see you!   Here are a few tips to help you prepare for any holiday that may (or has in the past) stirred up a lot of emotions: Be intentional to make a plan.  How do you want the day to look?  How do you want it to feel?  What do you want to do for yourself? Manage your expectations.  Don't set your hopes high without communicating what it is you need that day.   Give yourself permission to feel the feels, and let them pass through you, envisioning releasing them. And for those that don't struggle with this day, remember to be an empathetic listener for those that have reasons for their emotions, and give a lot of grace.   We would love to hear how this episode encouraged you!

Does spring inspire you to begin something new?  But trying new things can naturally create fear, worry, and doubts.  Why is that?  Why don't we choose to be excited about these new things?  Excitement is a life-giving emotion that we get to choose!   Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, said this, “It takes the same amount of energy to imagine the worst than to imagine wild success.” (paraphrased) So why not imagine these new ventures bringing you wild success.   Take time to pause, notice the beauty all around you.  But also remember that when it appears that a part of your life is stalled and lifeless, be patient and continue to be diligent to “keep watering” those areas of your life, because there is LIFE under the surface.  When you are not seeing the results you desire, wait and keep being faithful to the vision you have been given.  Keep moving!  And guard your heart against being influenced by those that are prone to discourage you, or jealous of what you are doing, etc.  Protect your mind and heart to maintain that excitement.   Let us know what NEW beginning you are embarking on!  We hope this episode inspired you to take action despite the fear and worry!  We would love to hear how this episode encouraged or challenged you!

Are you feeling stuck in a pattern of thinking and living that you wish you could change?  We all have a “voice” and a “listener” inside our heads.  And oftentimes the “Chatty Cathy“ is running the show, talking constantly, and keeping us feeling stuck and powerless to change.  In this episode, we take a closer look at that “voice” inside our heads.   Bob Proctor has said, “The quality of one's life is in direct proportion to their level of awareness.”  So in today's episode, we are shining a light on “that VOICE” that has been lying to you, discouraging you from taking on that new project, new job, new adventure, and we aim to help you become an objective listener to that chatter.  Why is this helpful?  Because when we become AWARE of our thoughts and feelings, as an objective, 3rd-party observer/listener, we can then make some non-judgemental observations and ask ourselves some questions like: 1.Is this thought/feeling true? 2. Is this thought/feeling serving me? 3. Is this thought/feeling in alignment with the person I aspire to be? 4. What thought/feeling would I like to have instead? 5. What is stopping me from believing this new thought/feeling?   It is as if you start playing the objective counselor/advisor to that “voice” in your head!   Who is going to start trying this?  Let us know how it is working for you!  We hope this episode inspired you to take action!  We would love to hear how this episode encouraged or challenged you!

We dive into the feeling of overwhelm in this episode and this is a welcomed reminder to us at Wake Up & Dream so we hope this episode resonates with you as well!    When tackling an overwhelming task - try breaking it down into smaller piece or achievable action items!

In today's episode, Lisa shares one principle that she has shared with her team:  Work on YOU just as much as you work on your business!  You can apply this principle to other areas of your life, such as relationships, your job, your fitness/health, your side-gig, etc.     How could this look?  Read books, listen to podcasts, be committed to online trainings….but don't just CONSUME and become a “fat baby” that never grows up.  TAKE ACTION!  Do the scary thing, figure out what your personality needs to stay focused on action (a pacing partner, a deadline, a reward/prize you work towards, an alarm on your phone set for 30 minute of ACTION…..and do it!   Here's Lisa's AMAZING and INSPIRING Facebook group for those who want to join and dig even deeper :)  https://www.facebook.com/groups/inspiredinsiderslbri/      We hope this episode inspired you to take action!  We would love to hear how this episode encouraged or challenged you!

Mindset around books!  What are your thoughts and feelings about reading!  In this episode, we discovered that each of us have very different approaches and feeling about reading!  Sara “eats” books and loves personal development books but recently has given herself permission to read novels and fiction books.     Lisa then shared that her experience growing up around reading impacts her approach and feelings about reading.  She has struggled with reading, labeling herself as a slow reader, and is learning now NOT to judge herself, but to create a fresh new relationship with books and her beliefs around reading.   There are many ways to read books:  Kindle, Audio, print……and we encourage you to change things up and try a new way to “consume” a book.  Give yourself permission to explore a different genre!  Have fun!   Books we mentioned during this episode: The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren Worthy, by Jamie Kern Lima   Share the book(s) that you are currently reading!  We would love to hear how this episode encouraged or challenged you!

What a lively discussion we had today!  In this episode we talked about the importance of listening to our bodies.  What does that mean?  Well, the fact is that our emotions are stored in the very cells of our bodies, so there is definitely a scientific connection between our thoughts/emotions and our bodies!  So, why not check in with your body and see what comes up for you emotionally?  Even journal about it!  When we play the victim to our circumstances, it can be easy to have the “It is what it is” mentality.   And this can then cause our bodies to respond in alignment to that belief.  But the key is AWARENESS.  This is how we take our power back.     So, stay in awareness.  Listen to what your body is trying to tell you.  Use your body to create the emotions you desire, like allow yourself to jump up and down and get excited if you feel like you are in a slump.  Or like Sara shared, listening to her body meant to choose restorative yoga over her normal workout!  Your body will definitely talk to you, but the question is: are you listening?   We would love to hear how this episode encouraged or challenged you!

Episode 105:  Emotional Discipline   How are you handling the pressures of life?  Does it feel like you are spinning on a hamster wheel?  You are in good company!   Lisa and Kelly dove into the topic of “Emotional Discipline.” Lisa found this term in a recent podcast, The Seven-Figure Standard, with Arash Vossough.  Here is the link to that podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/seven-figure-standard/id1684349810?i=1000644322568    Lisa shared the internal pressure she had been putting on herself this last week.  She has high standards for herself, and this last week she “hit the wall.”  And this brought about awareness of her thoughts and feelings, and her need to “take a pause” and take an assessment of your thoughts/feelings.   It is so important to pause and check in with ourselves.  Sometimes we need to just push through, but it is also very important to check in and take time out to do something that brings you joy!  Kelly encouraged us to make a list of the things that bring you JOY, so that when you are feeling overwhelmed, you can use this list as a “tool in your toolbelt.”   We would love to hear what things you have on your list that bring you JOY!  Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode helped you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor

Think back to the people who impacted you most?  Lisa started out summarizing a Mel Robbins podcast episode where Mel shared this recent study about who is having the most influence on your life, depending on your age and what decade of life you are in.  Mel said that after age 18, the influence parents have on their children decreases significantly. She noted that from age 26-46, we are most influenced by our co-workers and work community.  If you are interested in listening to her podcast, you can check it out here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mel-robbins-podcast/id1646101002?i=1000644164038   These research findings prompted us to talk about the people that have influenced us most, and the importance of making sure you are surrounding yourself with the people that will make you better, and not buy into the lie that you are stuck in that job or relationship.  We can make all the excuses we want, but the truth of the matter is, we DO have a choice!   Sara shared a book she recently finished called The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hinderbrand.  In the book, the main character shares a weekend with friends from each season of her life: a friend from her elementary and highschool years, a friend from her college years, a friend from the baby raising years, and then a friend from now when kids are all grown……the dynamics and potential conflict that would arise when all these people go away for the weekend.   Connections and communities can change and evolve, and we may even “outgrow” some of those relationships, and that is ok.  That is not a bad thing.  You get to choose.     We want to encourage you to take a “community audit” and evaluate if your community is the best fit for you!   Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode helped you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor  

Who's voice is inside your head?  Is it telling you that you are amazing?  More times than not, that voice inside our head are telling us just the opposite.  These voices may be voices from our childhood, remembrances of what a significant parent, teacher, friend, etc. said to you, and those words still play loudly inside of your head! When we live in awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, we can come to an understanding that we have the CHOICE of what thoughts, feelings, and beliefs we choose to hang onto and let have residence inside our heart and mind!   Living in alignment with your heart means figuring out what is important to YOU, and then taking action in alignment with that truth.  Honor the feelings that come up when you take time to pause, reflect, and become aware of your thoughts and self talk.     And sometimes we are too enmeshed with those thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to make an accurate, objective observation concerning them.  And that is where community and connection comes into play….and that is what we are talking about on our next episode, so stay tuned!   Are you ready to take charge of the thoughts inside your head?  Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode helped you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor

Do you journal?  If so, how do you journal?  What do you journal about?  Do you have a specific purpose and goal for your journaling?   In today's episode, Kelly shares that she has always journaled her goals using Rachel Hollis' Start Your Day journal, where you write 5 things you are grateful for, and then 10 goals written in present tense, as if it is already done/accomplished.  But just recently, Kelly was challenged to approach journaling in a very different way. She was challenged to take some time and reflect back on all the “wins” (big and small) from 2023, and just start writing.  To allow the thoughts and feelings to come up, the roadblocks, the friends, the struggles, the things you accomplished ....but the magic happened when Kelly paused for a simple prayer, and then said to herself:  “ But if I am honest….”  and then she just let her pen start to move and the thoughts just poured out on the page, unfiltered.   Have you ever journalled like this?  There are several ways we can approach journaling: Goal setting and visualization Gratitude Process emotions and challenging circumstances Reflection on past accomplishments and struggles Recount daily activities And many more…..   The main message from today's podcast is don't be afraid to try a new way of journaling.  Allow your heart and pen to lead you and just start writing.  We think you are going to enjoy the discoverings and truths you will uncover!   Are you ready to try this?  Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode helped you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor

In today's episode, we get up close and personal with Sara on fears around snowboarding! Because of a broken arm she got her first season, Sara has been carrying around in her subconscious mind the fear of going too fast and falling. She enjoys ski season each year but feels like she's missing out on some of the fun because of her fears. BUT…..not this year!     Maybe you don't have a fear of skiing fast or falling, but our guess is that you do have something that causes anxiety and fear in your mind and heart, probably from a past experience and a belief you have acquired because of it!   Check out this episode and I know you will be challenged and encouraged as Sara “walks” us through the mental steps she embraced as well as the physical action steps she took, all to move her away from fear,  away from passing this fear onto her boys, and move her towards releasing fear and embracing new thoughts, new beliefs, and creating new memories because of it!  Well done Sara!   Are you ready to face that fear that is holding you back?  Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode helped you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor  

Episode 100:  Take Action & Watch your Confidence Rise!   Yahoo!  We are celebrating the 100th episode of “Wake Up and Dream” and we are SO grateful for YOU, our faithful listeners!  We have been on this amazing journey of growth and becoming the best version of ourselves, and we would love to reach even MORE people, so thank  you for sharing these episodes with your friends and family, following us on Instagram and/or Youtube!   Today's episode was all about taking ACTION as a way to build confidence!  Taking action, making decisions, stepping out in the direction you are feeling lead in can be uncomfortable and even down-right scary at times!  But trusting our intuition and mustering up an ounce of bravery is all we need to do to take the next step.  Lisa shared the analogy of the flashlight as a visual tool to help us realize we do not need to know the end result.  A flash light illuminates the “next step” not the entire pathway.  In the same way, we want to encourage you to simply get brave and take that next step.  Release fear, perfectionism, and just take that next step!   Life is about taking that next step!  We want to evolve into a better version of ourselves, not get to the end of our life realizing we are pretty much the same as decades before.  Life isn't' just about breathing until we breathe our final breath.  Life is about living, evolving, becoming, and that all requires us to take that next step, take action!  And the beautiful result will be increased confidence to take another step!   Are you ready to do this?  Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode helped you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor  

A team of scientists in Ecuador is on a mission to describe new-to-science tarantula species to help secure conservation protections. And, undergraduate researchers pasted striped capes onto termites' backs to see if a well-known warning sign would fend off predators.Protecting The ‘Satan' Tarantula and Other Lovable Giant SpidersA team of scientists in Ecuador is on a mission to find and describe species of an understudied, often unpopular group of critters: mygalomorphs, a group of large, stocky spiders that includes tarantulas. In late 2023, two of these researchers published a paper in the journal ZooKeys describing two new-to-science tarantula species, including one named Psalmopoeus satanas—affectionately called the “Satan tarantula” because of its erratic behavior.Tarantulas are understudied in Ecuador, and there are many species left to describe. They're also threatened by mining, agriculture, and the illegal pet trade. That's what led Pedro Peñaherrera-R., a researcher at Universidad San Francisco de Quito to found the Mygalomorphae Research Group. Its members are working to describe these spiders and secure conservation protections before they possibly disappear.Producer Rasha Aridi talks with Peñaherrera-R. and his co-author and fellow group member Roberto José León about how the Satan tarantula earned its name, how they discover and classify spiders, and why we should all show spiders a little more love.If Termites Wore Stripes, Would Spiders Still Eat Them?The animal kingdom is filled with colors and patterns. Sometimes, those colors are to signal to members of an animal's own species, in a mating display for instance. In other cases, a bright color or vibrant pattern serves as a warning to potential predators—a signal saying “don't eat me, I'm toxic.” That type of warning coloration, known as aposematism, can be seen in the bright colors of a poison dart frog, or the black, white, and yellow stripes of a monarch butterfly caterpillar.Bigger animals, like birds, are known to consider that sort of warning signal when hunting. Researchers at the University of Florida were interested in whether jumping spiders might also take that sort of striped warning coloration into account when choosing their prey. To find out, they applied tiny striped capes to the backs of laboratory termites to study whether those stripes affected the behavior of hungry jumping spiders. They found that while the test spiders did notice the striped termites more than termites wearing solid colors, the spiders were less likely to attack striped termites when given the chance to do so.Behavioral ecologist Dr. Lisa Taylor joins Ira to discuss the purpose of the project—and former lead undergraduate researcher Lauren Gawel describes the challenges of trying to get termites to dress up as superheroes.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Ok, we seriously need to hear from YOU on this topic, because in today's episode, we took a topic that is familiar to all of us, and dug into our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs around the activity of shopping!  Yep, this was such a fun discussion, because as Sara and Lisa shared their past thinking around shopping, they soon discovered that Kelly had the very opposite belief!  Amazing how the same task or experience can be approached in a totally different way because of what we are speaking to ourselves and what we are feeling and believing about it.   We used shopping as an example, but this literally can be an awareness exercise you do about anything.  What are your thoughts, feelings, and core beliefs around such things as making meals, household chores, your relationships, your time, your money, etc.  Having that “heart to heart” with yourself or a coach could help you to identify those deep inner, often hidden, beliefs that keep us stuck feeling and believing the same old things!  Time to “flip the script” and start thinking thoughts in alignment with who we want to be and how we want to show up for ourselves and others!   You got this, girl!   Are you ready to do this?  Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode helped you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor

Did you pick a “Word of the Year” for 2024?  This is the lively topic we tackled in today's episode.   We always want to encourage you to do what works best for you!!!  Picking a word might just help to keep you focused and growing!  Kelly and Lisa both shared how their “word of the year” has been much better than doing resolutions, and really helped them to stay in awareness and unlock their potential and purpose.  Sara suggested putting your word of the year on your wall, and perhaps even words you have used in the past to remind you of where you have been and your growth.   Sara rocked the boat by telling us that she has chosen intentionally to NOT have a “word of the year,” and explained why she was feeling a lot of “shoulds” in 2023 so as to get rid of the pressure to “have a word.”  Do what feels right for you, and give yourself permission to do what feels right and good for you!  It's your life!   Be sure to reach out to us and tell us what your word of the year is!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor

The NEW YEAR is the perfect time to heighten your awareness by looking back over the past year and making some observations (not judgements) about what went well and also the things that were struggles.  Kelly suggested doing a “calendar audit” and becoming aware of how you spent your time and energy in 2024.  Questions to ask might be: How did I spend my time? Who did I spend my time with? What patterns do I see? How do I feel about this and what would I link to continue doing in 2024? What would I like to do differently in 2024? We often forget all of the wins that will catapult us into awareness as to what is possible in the coming year.  So take the time to note the WINS, the times when you “showed up” for yourself or someone in need.  And as we recall the struggles of 2023, create some awareness around the feelings, knowing that feelings are often habitual.  So we can take control of how we want the future to look by creating new ways of thinking, new traditions and new action steps! There is no script!  You get to make it whatever you want!  You only get ONE life, and we get to decide!  This is empowering! If you want to heighten your awareness, be sure to check out Episode 96 where Lisa shared some easy tools to help us stay in awareness. We become what we think about, so stay in awareness of the thoughts that you are choosing, and make a conscious effort to make 2024 better than any other year to date!  It is your choice!   Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode is helping you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor

We have spent the last 2 weeks hearing some great tips on increasing “AWARENESS” in our daily lives as women who may be struggling with past thoughts and beliefs, women trying to stay AWARE of the thought patterns that are impacting parenting on how we show up as a mom.  And today, Lisa rounds out the AWARENESS discussion by introducing an acronym for AWARE, to give us practical “tools” we can use in our everyday life.   In summary, the acronym AWARE reminds us to: A: Stay in AWARENESS.  Set an alarm to remind you several times a day to check in and ask yourself, “What are my dominant thoughts right now?  How am I feeling right now?”  Or every time you go through a door frame, use it to remind you to check in with yourself and stay in awareness. W:  WRITE out your thoughts, feelings, so that you “stop the spin” and uncover the core beliefs behind all of it. A:  ACT as the third person in the room, observing your thoughts/feelings/actions/results without judgment and full of compassion for the girl with your name.  Become that compassionate scientist saying, “Hmmmm, that's interesting.  I wonder why I am thinking/feeling this way?” R:  RELEASE the thoughts that don't serve you, and REPLACE them with the opposite thought/feeling. E:  EMBRACE the journey, because this is truly a lifelong journey of growth and discovery.   Our aim each week is to help you start living the life you desire and deserve, and we hope this week give you some practical tools to help you do just that!   Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this AWAREness Acronym is helping you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor  

To continue our discussion around the topic of awareness, Sara focused on how one tool has helped change some of her parenting approaches.  This tool we all learned in our Life Coach mindset certification program.  It is what has been named, “The Model.”  The basic premise is that we often can not control our circumstances, but we can control our thoughts and feelings, and that ultimately determines our actions and our results.  It all starts with becoming AWARE of our thoughts and feelings.  Our thoughts are often on auto-pilot and they become so habitual that we may even believe we are simply stuck with the results or have no power to change the results.     Listen to this episode, as Sara shares some practical, encouraging tips and tools for parents to use, to heighten their awareness so that they are conscious of the thoughts and feelings that are creating the results.  Be compassionate with yourself in the process, as this is a journey, so release the desire for perfection.  Next time you are experiencing a frustration in your relationships, pause, become aware, and know that you have an amazing tool to help you create new results that we think you are going to love!   Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode has helped your parenting!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor  

This week Kelly talks about being honest with yourself, preparing yourself to be more aware of your thoughts and past thinking and how thoughts really affect our daily lives. She endured years of toxic thoughts of who she thought she was, going through infertility and depression.  The lies we've been telling ourselves for months, maybe even years can have a huge impact on our current situation and eventually our future.  And in telling ourselves these lies, we begin to think and feel like they really are real and we adopt them as our “truth.”.  This can then create a person that you don't even recognize.   What are you thinking about yourself, what are you telling yourself about who you are?  Are you sad, anxious, angry, living in loneliness? If you're not feeling joyful, content and inspired on a daily basis, it's time to stop the spiral! It requires work, but make it fun- make it an adventure to really learn about who you are and who God created you to be, because she's in there, just waiting to come alive. What are you ready to uncover about yourself, knowing that if you did it would be life changing?  Because you have control of what your life looks like and feels like. You don't have to BE “depressed” you don't have to BE “anxiety” you don't have to FEEL “alone”. You can be YOU, and BE Happy! Be aware of where you go when the anxiety or sadness comes up, and then stop and ask yourself:  “Are these thoughts true? Are they serving me?” If they are not, BLESS & RELEASE them. Decide TODAY that you want to change and be a warrior for your own life.   Be sure to reach out to us and tell us how this episode impacted you!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor

In today's episode, we had a lively discussion about routines.  It was in some ways a review of the last 3 weeks.  We want to encourage you to embrace routines “your way.”  If that is a morning routine, an evening routine, or a routine that you start doing with your family. Do it your way! Lisa challenges the notion of routines with the notion of perfectionism.  Oftentimes, we don't start a new routine because we believe we will not be able to be perfect at it, or be successful at it.  Sara and Kelly encouraged us to become aware of the thoughts and beliefs we have around the word “routine” and start there.  If you are telling yourself that this new routine is going to be hard, then guess what?  It WILL be hard.  Find what seems fun and motivating to you, and start small, thinking about doing the routine just ONE day, and then say the same thing the next day.  Figure out what inspires and motivates you, and “try it on.”   What routine will you be trying?

How do you start your day?  We have been talking about creating a morning routine, and Kelly and Sara have shared some ideas in the last 2 episodes.  Today, Lisa takes a different angle with morning routines and encourages us to start the day with a question.  Before your feet hit the floor and your “to-do” list crowds in on your mental space, take a moment to take a deep breath, allow your body to relax, and ask yourself these questions: How am I doing?  How am I feeling about today? What can I do today for myself?  How can I take care of myself today?  What will that look like?   These questions help you to put yourself “on the list.”  We start our day by checking in and making our needs and desires a priority.  Have this conversation with yourself and honor what comes up.  Show yourself the compassion you would give to your dearest friend.  You matter.  And especially as we head into the holidays, let us encourage you to give yourself this gift!  Only you know what you need and oftentimes we also have the ability to give ourselves what it is that we need.  We just need to tap into that “empowered self” and then start your day being heart-centered and cared for.   We are here for you!!!  We would love to connect with you!

In today's episode, Sara takes a new angle on Morning Routines, as she shares something she has been using to stay focused, consistent, and motivated with her goal to exercise!  She shared her Habit Tracker and described how each day that she exercises she get to pick a different marker color and color in one box in the block letters spelling the current month!  She uses this as a way to hold herself accountable.  Here are a few highlights: Remember to find a tracker that “lights you up!”  This is key as it is more about your thoughts and feeling around the tracker than the tracker itself! Focus on ONE habit! Don't add the stress of trying to be perfect! Celebrate even 60% complete, as an example!  Each day you did your habit is one more day than if you had chosen not to do it!  Focus on your growth and be proud of yourself!   Do you use a Habit Tracker?  We would love to hear your favorites!  Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast.  You can also connect with each of us here:    Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1    Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  kelly@fullyembraceyourlife.com   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor
