Sarah and Miranda move through their own climate change cognitive dissonance with the help of Elizabeth Doerr, author of the Cramming for the Apocalypse project. We discuss how parenting lends itself to climate action, how facing the climate reality can actually make you less anxious, and how mothers can give prepper stereotypes a much-needed makeover. Links:* Scribente Maternum* Cramming for the Apocalypse* How Do You Plan For a Future That Might Not Exist? by Liz Plank “I miss my 2015 brain, the one unburdened by the weight of relentless catastrophes, and I miss my 2015 problems, those small, manageable worries that felt so monumental at the time. But more than that, I mourn the 2025 happiness I once allowed myself to envision, a life shimmering with possibility, untouched by the shadow of all we've lost. I grieve the future I was so certain would be mine, the life I thought I was building towards. I can't pinpoint the moment it slipped through my fingers, but I know it's gone. Most of all, I ache for the version of myself who believed in that future, who had the audacity to imagine a world that was bright and brimming with promise.What we're all feeling is grief. Not the tidy, private kind, but a vast, collective mourning that binds us together. We are grieving not just the world we've lost but the futures we were promised, the ones we dared to dream of and expected to inherit.”* What If We Get It Right? by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and her Climate Action Venn Diagram* Kathryn Schulz's New Yorker article about the Cascadia Fault Earthquake* Ecopsychological Development and Maternal Ecodistress During Matrescence by Aurelie Athan* Twilight Greenaway's Substack, The Window, with regular climate news coverage* Donate to Baby2Baby's fire relief support * More links from Liz:* How to pack a go bag* Our Children's Trust* Families for Climate * Anya Kamenetz's Substack The Golden Hour* Liz Doerr and Brekke Wagoner's 10-week preparedness guide* Britt Wray's Generation Dread takes on climate grief head-on This is a public episode.

I thought you were obsessed with me. No, Jimmy Fallon. I am you. And guess what; I'm the part of you, that hates myself, so. The part that doesn't exist. Oh. It exists. That's how we got here. That's how we all got here. We're all geniuses; That is the singularity. GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME— Hey! She's got a good arm. That's cause it's What the FUCK. Get AOUT. “Jack-Jack” Parr is a multidimensional poly form shapeshifter. That doesn't seem like a coincidence, Disney, I'm just saying. “Book III: Puzzle Pieces” AGH, I— HURT. woah, okay. No. If you ever actually ugly cry like that I'll kill you. [very ugly cry] (Eagerly seeking approval) —it's funny cause it's just acting, right? I—yeah—but, Jesus Christ… GOD If he actually ever ugly cries like that, I'll shoot him. [super-duper-very-ugly-cry] GOOGLE Oh my GOD. SHUT UP!

This is my attorney. Damn, even she's hot… I'm suing you: I'm honored. Where's Jason Sudakis? THAT'S RIGHT. Ah shit. I don't think about whips so much as chains I tried to change, But everyone hates me.

Someone should just start a war on poverty. I've got palms and novels, words galore— But no money— You can't hurt me Johnny Carson's on the mornings —and on varsity. I lettered in Letterman; I'll take Jack Parr, Against my better senses, Stick to Telivision, This isn't Steve Allen; I'm Steve Martin; (Sure you are, hon) Fallon's on the Dollar now; If Regan was an Actor, Then I guess— Your session timed out. Whatever. I want to die. [I'll wear a collar, now.] [The Festival Project ™ ] Lil bittttzxxx I met a guy once, that told me Every time he came, He died. Every time he fucking came, He fucking died. “Alright, next lifetime.” Every single orgasm— Different lifetime. Every ejaculation— New fucking shit. Sometimes the bitch wasn't even the same. He would just cum, She turned into someone else. Oh no! I thought to myself like “Fuck that shit. I couldn't imagine that.” I couldn't even understand the concept— But as I would learn later the word “orgasm” does in fact mean “tiny death” Which is nuts. I started to wonder “Are all guys like that?” That would explain things. If they're all like that maybe that's why they seem to just— *poof* “All better now” Only from a woman's perspective it's more like— He turns into someone else. No, I'm still the same— Now he's over here like “I'm a king” I'm like “Really? Before you were just a cashier.” Hm. Look at that. I'm a cash register. lol. But then, I started thinking more about it— I've been celibate for a long time But sometimes I still— You know, Whatever. But I don't watch porn. I just think it all up— Just— Use my imagination. And after doing that for awhile, Like, for years, I started to ponder on this: With the age of OnlyFans and Snapchat and entire markets born from men needing something to look at to jack off too— And deciding I was against doing that for myself because, you know I didn't want the spiritual reciprocation of some dude collecting my photos and videos and jacking off to that shit. Like, even if I got paid for it— I'm going through all this spiritual shit , All this praying and meditation and I'm thinking “Like no, if someone's like, buying all my content I'm some how some way going to feel that spiritually.” “I'm going to have some kind of effect on my soul from that, and that's nonsense.” That's like selling your soul in a way— Like, yes, it's just photographs, It's just your body— But guess what. Your soul lives in your body! So— what! Someone's jacking off to a picture or video of you in exchange for money— That's a piece of you just — Out there, And you don't know who these guys are! They're just guys with money! Come to find out Every time he ejaculates to your photo or video, He goes into the next fucking life— And takes your picture with him. OH NOOOO. So I'm like, Fuck that. Let's just—- I don't need porn. I'll just make something up, Or like— Hey, I'll just-/ Fantasize a little bit. But then I realized, also— Like, That could be dangerous. What if I'm like— Doin-the-do— And someone from actual like real-life pops into my head. Uh oh! Then I was like, “Damn, what if. Like. Whenever I came, like, whatever or whoever I came-to, just like— Collapsed and shit” I'm like, “Ah—“ Some like supermodel from a magazine cover is like, Just fucking drops. Lol. Just falls out, somewhere. lol. Oh no! Now take like an outer look, You porn addicts. What if that happened to you? What if whoever the fuck you're jacking off to just— BLAM. Lol. Every time you cum— Whoever you're thinking about just— OH SHIT. Someone help him! Flat on their face. Oh no. What a world. Jesus. “Someone help him!”” Ahahaha. Now I have to be careful. I just make people up and hope to God there's no one on the planet that actually looks like that, who that might be. I just make dudes up, I'm like “I need a God” lol Create someone entirely just for this purpose, Who then just— OH SHIT. vanishes. {Enter The Multiverse} [The Festival Project ™] L E G E N D S //return negative energy to sender //return harmful energy to sender //reflect pain to sender >>banish demonic energy< -Ū.

The hosts tackle what it means to be a provider today, discuss how men can balance financial and emotional support, and explore the evolving roles in relationships. In the spirit of the trend “Guys Under 30 Ask, Guys Over 30 Answer”, Jamey answers audience questions on self-compassion, accountability, and being present in a fast-paced world. From redefining traditional gender roles to maintaining healthy relationships with exes, this episode offers relatable insights and practical advice.  Whether you're seeking self-compassion or reflecting on life's journey, Jamey and Liz provide an engaging discussion on modern masculinity and building fulfilling, balanced lives. TIMECODES: (02:58) Topic Begins: Men Under 30 Ask, Jamey (Man Over 30) Answers (04:57) @lookforrev: “What skills have you learned around self-compassion?” (09:22) @AustinCA03: "Dads who had kids relatively early, how do you maintain balance in your life while also providing for your child and spouse?" (13:58) Theo: "What are the interpersonal or relationship skills you wish you could have learned earlier and how would you have gone about learning them?" (20:37) James: How are expectations of what it means to be a provider changing when we are all struggling in this economy? (25:25) Riley: "What are the positives of getting older?" (31:06) "What can I do to help overcome the voice that's telling me to keep being miserable?" (35:49) Jamey asks Liz: "At what point does it become easier?" (39:31) "Who has been able to maintain strong and healthy relationship with their exes?" QUOTES: "I think you fall in love much more easily when you accept the person that you are trying to be in love with." - Jamey “The voice inside my head that I thought was me for 30 plus years is actually a liar. And in the moments where I feel like that voice is really loud, that's a signal to me that I need to behave differently. Because I think it's hard to change the voice, but if you are treating yourself with compassion and you're treating yourself kindly, then that voice will become less high-pitched.” - Liz “In this day and age where more and more women are being seen and valued for their contributions, as they should, have opportunities more than maybe at one time were afforded to them, I think families have to consult and discuss what providing means. It doesn't just mean financially. Does dad provide for the family emotionally, taking care of the home, watching out for the children, taking them to baseball practice or laundry and dishes?” - Jamey "I feel like friendships, relationships are built in the nothingness, in the mundane stuff, and just the normal stuff." - Jamey "I'm gonna look back at this time and think I was so young. I'm not gonna think about all the insecurities that I have right now about how aging is showing up in my body." - Liz “How we can be better in the world, how we can be better to our parents, our children, our friends, our workmates? When you are fully accountable, then you can have real forgiveness for yourself.” - Jamey “If you can see the end in the beginning, you might think that very thing that you were distressed about, knowing that that's what's going to then get you to the next stage. So I think part of the thing to make life easier is embrace where you are in this day.” - Jamey SUPPORT MAN ENOUGH https://manenough.com/newsletter  https://manenough.com/books  https://boyswillbehuman.com  FOLLOW THE HOSTS Liz Plank https://instagram.com/feministabulous https://tiktok.com/@lizplank https://facebook.com/feministabulous https://x.com/feministabulous http://elizabethplank.com/ Jamey Heath  https://instagram.com/jamey_heath_ https://tiktok.com/@jameyheath https://x.com/jamey_heath_ https://facebook.com/jameyjaz http://jameyheath.com/ Executive Producers: Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath, Tarah Malhotra-Feinberg Learn more about your ad choices.

Jodee Kulp's journey is a familiar one. Adopting a child with undiagnosed Prenatal Alcohol Exposure from a system that just did not get it. She was told: “Love her, she will probably come through.” Professionals did not get it. They still don't. But what sets her apart from other caregivers that have been guests on this podcast series is how she gets it. And we will get to that. But first, we talk:  Life with Liz: How nothing seemed to calm her down, but instinctively Jodee knew what to do. Recognizing her brilliance and the importance of focusing on strengths. How despite challenges, addiction, and life-threatening illnesses, Liz continues to share her journey to provide hope to others and instill understanding in professionals. Life as a Caregiver: Jodee talks about isolation as an FASD caregiver. Her own incredible story of being given a 5% chance of survival. How she created a life that allows her to use her talents, yet remain available for Liz.   I love my brain. I love how it works I love how it moves back and forth And what it does. And how it thinks. And how it puts things together. Life as an Author and Advocate: We review an incredible professional journey of not only writing books by herself, with her daughter and others but also her FASD advocacy. The how and why, with R.J. Formanek, she created the Red Shoes Rock Movement. There is so much more in this podcast. Jodee provides lots of pearls of wisdom. Oh, and that thing that she had that has helped her throughout her life, without knowing it was helping her? We talk about how she was a bridge for years between professionals and adults on the Spectrum but recently stepped out publicly into her truth. And despite her fear, the bridge did not break – it was strengthened. And it opened a bridge for others to cross. Resources: Novel – Award Winner Best USA Young Adult Fiction The Whitest Wall (2008) by Jodee Kulp Best I Can Be – Living with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (2000) by Liz Kulp, Jodee Kulp Braided Cord: Tough Times In and Out (2010) by Liz Kulp, Jodee Kulp New Beginning, Better Than This (2017) by Liz Kulp, Jodee Kulp  Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/FASDSUCCESS)

This podcast is hosted by Liz Prugh and Meg Bonney. The two discuss The CW’s latest pilot, the untitled ‘Roswell’ reboot. We’ve chosen to call the show a “reimagining” versus a reboot, given that the cast, crew, and writer behind the new show aim to make it timely and relevant to today, with its own unique spin on the original novel series written by Melinda Metz.

I'm so excited to have my friend Liz Strom here today on the Pursue Your Spark Podcast. Liz is an author, life coach, a double organ transplant survivor, a speaker, a mom, a mentor, and she helps empower women to go from stuck and stressed, to free and able. That sounds right down my alley. Welcome to the show, Liz. I'm so pumped that you're here! Liz Strom: Thank you. Heike: Liz, can you tell us more about yourself. Liz Strom: Yes, that's what I do. I take people from stuck and stressed, to free and able. A lot of it has to do with envisioning, planning, organizing, and reorganizing life. There's a lot that's happened in my own life that I decided I need to help other people get there. Heike: You shared with me that you're the creator of EnVision and a forthcoming book called Led By The Unseen. How do they tie in with your company or your work at that point? Liz Strom: Led By The Unseen is a book that I'm currently writing. The various chapters in that book talk about different things in life that help lead you forward that you can't necessarily see, and it could be something motivational, something spiritual. People that move you forward maybe that you have never met. People that move you forward that come in passing, as well as friends, teachers, leaders, coaches, whatever it is that you have in your life. The different ways in which you receive guidance and motivation is explained throughout the book using my life. That's Led By The Unseen. EnVision is a program I use within my coaching, and Creative Calm Solutions, LLC is my company. The EnVision part of it is to put people "in" and "vision." In their vision, and it helps them to see what's possible in their life. We do a lot of visualization, and we take people to where they think their future should be, and we sit in the moment, and we talk about what it looks like, what it feels like, what it smells like, who they're with, all the different aspects. Then we decide, "Is it really what you wanted in life? Is this really what you're envisioning? Is this really what feels right to you?" If it's not, we tweak the vision a little bit, so it becomes more perfect if you will. There's no such thing as really perfect, but perfect for them at the moment. Then we work towards it. We create a plan so that they can have a feel better life along the way. Heike: Do you mostly work with women, men, or both? Liz Strom: I work with both, but most of my clients are women in their mid-30s and above, but I do have a lot of clients of all age ranges, from 17 to 82. A lot of people just feeling like they're feeling stuck and stressed, or they're not sure what their next steps are going to be. For example, my 17-year-olds don't know what they want to do in college, or what field of studies to pick up, and I'll help them with that, or sometimes they just want to travel, and they're trying to decide which path to take. All the way to my beautiful 82-year-old clients who are trying to figure out what their next steps in life are after they've been through an entire career. Maybe not a career, but staying home with their children and their grandchildren, and feeling like there's something else they should be doing in life, and so we create sessions around that, figure out their next steps and what makes them feel better, and what they should be doing. I also speak at corporate events, and I facilitate workshops for men and women within those companies to do some stress management work. Heike: What did you do before you became the creator of Creative Calm Solutions? Liz Strom: What didn't I do? I did a lot. I found myself in a lot of support roles. I was an executive assistant to different presidents of different companies, people who owned their businesses, which was fantastic for me because I got to learn the ropes kind of the hard way, figure out what works and what doesn't for them. I realized what I wanted to do, what I didn't want to do, watching their processes. I was also a senior sales manager for Hilton, so I was able to go and meet different people from all over the place. Getting to know people of all different backgrounds and upbringings opened up a lot of things in my mind, and I'm able to reconnect with those people now, which is exciting. A lot of it was being kind of the right hand to somebody else. Figuring out what I wanted to do with my own life, in that role. Heike: Which brings me to how we met because she was also the operations instigator of the DC Salsa Meetup. Many, many years back, when Liz, and Mario, and Kathy started the Salsa Meetup Group, I joined the group with such amazing, fun people, dancing salsa all over the DC Metro area. Are you still doing that? Liz Strom: I still am. I love it. I love to see people doing what moves them. You just see people smiling all over the place, learning something new, stepping out of their comfort zone, and there's such a mix of people on the dance floor. Besides the background work of accepting members, sending out messages, and coordinating events, which was fun, I got to be in the front hall, and anytime someone came in, I was the warm, happy face at the front of the door. I would connect other people, and a lot of time I just met some great people like you at these meetups, and I kept in touch. I wanted to tie everyone together; whether it was at my house, events, potlucks, dinners to now this, we're coming together in this capacity. It's so amazing. Heike: That is just so fantastic because I remember the days when I was still very active in salsa, which I've now moved into Argentine tango, but I'm still friends with the core group from maybe 10, 12 years ago. Then we meet again in renewed capacities of in business. Liz Strom: Yeah, absolutely. Heike: Now, during our time together, you met a man named Rolo. We all were super excited that you met somebody so special, so tell us about your lovely husband, and you've mentioned you have a daughter. Liz Strom: Yes, I do. My daughter is 17. She's an amazing, creative soul, and right now she's in high school, so it's nice and quiet in the house. I can have a nice office meeting with you today. My husband Rolo, his real name is Rolando. He is an amazing soul all on his own, and he's also into empowerment and motivation, and he supports me along my journey but has his own things going on, which I love. We both keep busy in positive ways, and when we join together, we kind of create this different force. He has a very different way of going on about life than I do, but it's kind of streamlined. He brings something else to the table that I'm not used to, and I love seeing, and he's just such an open, loving soul. The funny thing is, I met him through a friend from DC Salsa Meetup named Lisha, and she used to be one of the organizers also, so a happy face at the door. Heike: Great! Liz Strom: She moved to San Francisco for the next phase in her life. She made friends there, and I went out to surprise her one year for her birthday, and there Rolo was, just sitting there talking to me. We were friends before anything else began, and then it moved quickly after that. Heike: I remember when we first met him, everybody was, "What? How did she find this guy? They're perfect together." Liz Strom: Admittedly, I was resistant to dating for a long time, especially in the salsa scene, because I was an organizer, and I kind of didn't want to get tied up in dating somebody. Maybe it wouldn't work out, and I didn't want to be that one that they did not want to see at events or whatever it was. I held back for a long time with that dating part of my life, and then when I met him, it was just all walls down. There was nothing to be worried about. He just made me feel at ease immediately, and he said I did the same for him. It was a great pairing of two whole people coming together, creating something else. Heike: I think that came at the right time, because as I shared earlier, you're a double organ transplant survivor, and you're dealing with quite a few health challenges. Liz Strom: Right. Heike: Do you want to talk about that? Liz Strom: Yeah, absolutely. It's part of my journey, and part of why I became a life coach. I have struggled with health issues all my life. I had type two diabetes since I was a child, so most of my growing up contained a lot of restrictions. No eating this, no eating that. Having to take blood tests four times a day at certain times, and insulin injections at certain times. From having low blood sugar reactions to having high blood sugars. Not understanding why, and then eventually understanding why. I was a kid, so I would just eat whatever I wanted to. To have a lot of challenges later in life. Not so much that I was out of control, but because diabetes is a small blood vessel disease that damages things along the way after so many years of having it. When I met Rolando, he was saying he wanted to date. I was holding back in that aspect because I knew I was getting "sicker and sicker." He told me, "I'm with you because you're you, not because you're sick or you're healthy." I trusted him from that point on, and he was with me the day that I found out my kidney was dying. Heike: I remember that. Yeah. Liz Strom: Yeah. It was a tough time, but I had been through so much in life, and I knew I could get through that. I wasn't sure what it was going to look like, so I went through the process with Rolando. Thankfully I was put at the top of the list in my area for organ recipients, and I received a "brand new," kidney and pancreas almost five years ago. Here I am today. I have no diabetes, and I am alive. No dialysis, no problems with my kidneys right now. All my levels are wonderful and going through that process; I knew I had to do something bigger. I couldn't just get away with having these new organs, and not do something with my life. I always wanted to be the one that was known for helping others and developing plans, and my friends come to me for that. I thought, "I need to do this." I needed to train and get there to do what I needed to do, and that's what I'm doing now. I train under Tony Robbins, and Chloe Madanes, Mark and Magali Peysha, as well as Marie Forleo, Danielle LaPorte, so many other beautiful leaders, and they, have opened my eyes to what's possible in that aspect of coaching. Here I am. I began my own coaching business. I help people with their careers, relationships, stress management, feeling better with whatever's going on currently, if they have health conditions or limitations. That's where my health has taken me. Through all that I've been through, I'm trying to lead other people through it also. Heike: What is your most significant limitation at the moment physically? Liz Strom: Physically, I have very low blood pressure. I don't go dancing for that reason, or I dance to really slow songs that make my soul light up. In that capacity, I still have to move and stay healthy, mainly because I have this second chance with the new organs. I do things like 5Rhythms dancing, which helps connect you with your body to figure out what you're feeling, and releasing of emotions, and also taking on the better, bigger ones. I do chair yoga. I do floor yoga, all sorts of things. Sometimes I do regular yoga holding onto a chair, and doing the best that I can. Heike: I think that's so commendable, because you have such a challenge with all your organs and the dizziness, the sight, and all of this, that you are just not beaten down and give up. I am so crazy proud of you. Liz Strom: Thank you. Heike: My heart just sings when I see people who thrive despite all the crap they have to go through. Liz Strom: Yeah. We all go through things, and nobody I know has had an easy life. I thought, "Well, I know people who have gone through way worse." For example, I've had periods of anemia where I have to go to the hospital, and I have to sit in an infusion clinic and get some iron. Of course, I was complaining at 6:45 AM, going to the hospital, sitting there for 20 minutes to get infusions. When I got there, I'm sitting with children that have leukemia, other sorts of cancers, sitting there for their entire day, and smiling. I said to myself, "You better stop complaining. Do something. Make them feel better. They're going through way worse things than you are." There's always somebody going through something different, bigger, whatever it is. You have to make sure you make it through, and if you've made it through, do something more significant with your life, and that's what I decided to take on and do. Heike: Because you're also involved with some organizations that you support. Tell us more about it. Liz Strom: Absolutely. The United Network of Organ Sharing, the National Kidney Foundation, and the American Diabetes Association. I don't know where I'd be if they hadn't published all the information they had online and done all of these charity fundraisers to be able to fund research and events for people going through things as I do. I thought, "I need to give back to those organizations who can make a greater impact nationally, internationally." I decided that through my coaching and my workshops, I give a percentage back to these different organizations. Sometimes it's directly to a patient group. Sometimes it's giving of materials that I have or any kind of services I have to offer. A lot of the times it's the small bit of monetary give back that I can give. I support organizations across the board. Those are the three that I mainly associate with and try to give back for. This year, I'm doing something called The Goddess Workshop. We are funding clean water efforts. We would all not be here if we didn’t have clean water to drink, so this year we decided to start there. I wouldn't be able to, for sure, because with kidney disease, you need to continually drink water, stay hydrated, keep everything healthy. I went to the cellular level of it all and said, "Okay, what can I do on that aspect, to help other people and other children all around the world get cleaner water access?" This year's workshop is dedicated to that. Heike: I'll put the links in the notes for the listeners so they can contact you or find out more about the clean water movement. Liz Strom: Thank you. Heike: That's so amazing. Speaking of clean water, what do you eat, Liz? How do you nourish your body? How careful do you have to be? Liz Strom: The great thing about not having diabetes anymore is that I can eat whatever I want. That's including fruits, any time of the day that I want because as a child, you couldn't do that. Fruits have natural sugar that’s called fructose that raises blood sugar. I couldn't eat that. Now I can. Same thing with milk. If I wanted to put milk in my coffee, I can. Milk has lactose, a long-acting sugar. With kidney disease, for me personally, there are no restrictions. I'm a vegetarian, and the funny thing is, I eat lots and lots of vegetables, and I also eat seafood, milk, and cheese. When I first had surgery, the surgeons told me, "Okay, you have to watch potassium. Don't eat high potassium foods." Of course, that took away everything I was typically used to eating. Spinach, asparagus, tomatoes, all these things. But I'm able to now. Everything is evened out, so I eat whatever I want, but I'm mainly a vegetarian. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables throughout the day, as well as baked goods. I don't restrict myself because that would feel just like I did when I was a child, very restricted. Heike: Now, I have to say this, because I follow Liz also on Instagram, so you guys have to follow Liz on Instagram because you know then what she eats. She goes out and eats the most fabulous food, and you think, "Can she eat all this?" And I tell you, what we heard now is, yes you can. But I'm always amazed at your pictures. Liz Strom: Yeah. Absolutely. You have to infuse your life with things that feel good, experiences that make you feel open and amazing. Literally, I would go on Instagram and put "fun places to eat NYC" as a hashtag and find all the different pictures. I would find somewhere and say, "That's where I want to go." Screenshot it, create a date out of it, and seek it out. This past weekend, for example, I found this beautiful tiny shop in Chinatown called Sweet Moments NYC, and they have the coolest cream art on top of your coffee or tea. There are little happy faces on it. Who couldn't smile? I fill my life with that, and I also teach my clients to do the same thing. You have to make it happen. Plug it into your calendar. Create these sort of trips. You don't want to have regrets later, and this is the way to do it. Live passionately. Seek out these things. For me, it's traveling, finding these fun little foods on Instagram, or maybe it's a whole meal at these fabulous hotels that I stay in every once in a whole with my husband and daughter. They're also enjoying it, and they're going to live with no regrets or as few regrets as possible. This is the fun I have in life, and yes, no restrictions. I can't admit to eating the whole thing of pasta that you see; sometimes I portion it out. Heike: I just remember the little dumplings that you posted this weekend on Instagram. Guys, you have to see that. Oh my god. Makes you want to jump in and eat it. Liz Strom: Yes, we went to a dim sum place in New York, and we were so excited. When they brought out the egg custard tarts, they were these little piggies, and you just couldn't help but smile. Heike: That's so fun. That was my next question. What ignites your fire? What sparks your day? What recharges you? Liz Strom: Food is one of them. Travel is another. People, I love people. I'm an extrovert primarily, with a lot of introverted tendencies. I like to do a lot of introspection and things, but I love people. I love sunshine. I infuse this into my life on a daily basis. I can tell you the first thing I think about is the cup of coffee I'm going to make, because that lights me up, and having little things plugged in through my day. Having conversations with people like you that are amazing, that lights me up. I love YouTube, so I'll go on there and find different people who are inspiring, listen to their stories, and it lights me up to do something more. Water; can't live without water. Movement, music. I love dancing in my own way now, so I'll turn up the music and dance in between chores or cleaning. Heike: Oh, you should come to my house, dance a little bit around my house. Liz Strom: Well, I make my husband and my daughter dance with me too. I can't take all the credit for that, but I add it in. I just infuse it into my daily life. From the small things, from my coffee in the morning to great things, like going to conferences for people who move me, and taking that and using it with my clients, so many things in between. Heike: I know that we both share a love for traveling because I always check where Liz has been, and then I see the pictures she had, and how she got there. So you just recently went Milan correct? Liz Strom: Yes. Heike: I said, "Wow, you went to Milan, just out of the blue?" And she says, "This lights me up. This recharges me. Traveling, seeing new things, eating different foods." Along your travels, you have some gorgeous pictures of you. Liz Strom: Absolutely. We went to Milan, and this was on a whim. We found a great deal, so I just went with my BFF. We created some plans around it and other things we just did on a whim. People watching, different cafes. A lot of people think of Milan, Italy's experience to be buying expensive things. My Milan experience was, "Let's hire a photographer, take pictures of the big, beautiful Duomo in the background to remember the cathedral that we visited, and climb the steps all the way to the top." Heike: Wow. Liz Strom: Then we stood at the top, and looked over the entire city. We took a day trip to Switzerland, and we went up the Alps in a little red train, and just really enjoyed what we were doing. Heike: I love it. You just sparked me up. When I look at your Instagram and your Facebook, you always make me smile. You make me think with thoughtful posts, and spark my imagination. That's why I'm so happy that we are in touch, that we are friends, that I can get some of your energy and pass some of my energy on to you. It's so, so important to be around people like that because we hear a lot of negativity from people - how stressed they are, any of their problems. But to stay on top of that, and overcome this negativity, this stress, the unhappiness, is a hurdle for us too. We're not just always like, "Yoo-hoo." Happy people. We have our ups and downs. Heike: Tell us, what is your plan for the future? Where do you see yourself going with your company? Liz Strom: You have to start with the small tidbits if you will. Right now, I'm trying to finish everything I can with Tony Robbins and Chloe Madanes. I knew right after all of these training sessions ended with Tony Robbins I had to do something else to move me, so I'm going to do yoga challenges, and I'm going to go to more events, and things that move me. Next year, I already have three significant events that I want to attend and go to, so I decided to plug that into my calendar already. Tickets are not available, but I know what day those open, and I can plan that. Then in my business, through all the experiences that I've had under my belt, as well as what I'll learn going forward, I know I can make that explode. Right now, I know I'll be speaking to more companies, helping their employees to manage their stress. I can't tell them to reduce it, but I can help the management manage that to create more of a work-life balance. I know that I'll be traveling more doing that. There are many, many, many companies in the Washington, D.C. area, but I know that I have not to limit myself there, so I envision myself traveling more, doing these workshops, meeting new people. Also, volunteering my time, because I don't only want to give back being paid if you will. I also want to be there for people. For example, with those cancer patients in the infusion area, I want to be able to sit with them, play games, make them feel better, whatever they have the energy to do, and volunteer in that aspect, and just sit and be with friends and family. I have these bigger plans, and then I have these smaller plans that I've plugged into my calendar, so there's a lot there. Heike: Yeah. What would you say as a takeaway for our listeners, for all the active ladies who pursue their spark? Liz Strom: Live passionately. That is one thing that strikes me today. I think every day I feel a little bit of this, "you have to live passionately" part. It can feel a little cliché because people don't know what to do with this "live passionately" thing in their lives. They want to, but they don't know how to do it. Plug it in. Find things that move you. Find events that move you. Whatever it is, plug that in in your calendar, find out when tickets come out, go, and that will be the starting point in your journey. Along the way, you'll find things that light you up, and you'll meet people that move you, and you'll go on Instagram and find those little foods, and that's the way you live passionately. Plugging these things in that you want to do, with the people you want to do it with. Don't leave it to chance, because you'll say, "Yeah, I want to go to the Beyonce concert, and probably with my best friend. Back to work." And they don't plug it in, and it never happens. Heike: Very true. Liz Strom: Live passionately, plug it in, and along the way, all these beautiful things will just kind of erupt, and your heart will keep exploding in these amounts, and life will feel a lot better to you. Plug it in, live passionately. Heike: Now, how can people who want to live passionately reach you? Liz Strom: Absolutely. I'm all over social media. I love connecting with people, even online. My website is www.LizStrom.com. My Instagram and Facebook are both pages are @LizStromOfficial. If you don’t like talking over the phone you can email me, or we can do face-to-face, whatever you prefer, my email is Liz@Lizstrom.com. Heike: I’ll, of course, post them all in the show notes, so don’t rush to get your pen and paper! I am so excited we made this happen after all this time. It just popped into my head that I wanted to share you with my audience. Liz Strom: Thank you so much. I am so very grateful for you, for all you do in the world. For all that are listening and want to do something more with your life, plug it in, make it happen, and it will. Heike: I love that. Liz Strom: Thank you. Heike: Yes. Thanks, and I'll see everybody else on the next Pursue Your Spark, and thank you again.

In this episode of Wine & Shine, we delve into the realm of the mainstream media to uncover why women have primarily negative self-perceptions.  We’ll discuss why it’s important to let go of these perceptions and love yourself as you are despite constant media bombardment, while still consciously making choices toward self-improvement. Quotes: “People definitely thought we were taking engagement photos, and I support that.” - Nina “How come we can’t see these positive sides of ourselves [and] it takes someone else to point out something that can be super-beautiful?” - Nina “The issue I have in the mainstream media is that what is and is not attractive is being determined by a bunch of old, white men.” - Liz “People don’t buy products, they buy what that product will make them become.” - Liz “How can we begin a shift of having women believe in these ideals sooner so that we can make a shift as a society?” - Nina “I do think it’s really important for women to support each other, because if we don’t, who will?” - Liz We’ll Discuss: Wine of the Day: 2014 Charles Smith - “Eve” Chardonnay Miss Representation Pro’s and cons: the pageantry of competitive beauty Men are the decision makers in the media, and why that’s a problem The interpretation gap, and supporting retailers you don’t support Body-neutral retailers Youth-targeted and gender-biased media Why we don’t take curvy women seriously The fine line between self-improvement and self-deprecation Your “best” body is up to you Comparing ourselves, positive or negative, is a dangerous game “Pretty is as pretty does.” - Grandma Belden The pressure is real for men, too Links: iTunes: https://bit.ly/wineandshine Facebook: Wine & Shine Podcast Instagram: @wineandshinepodcast Vivino: https://www.vivino.com/users/wineandshinepodcast Snapchat: wineshinepod Email: wineandshinepodcast@gmail.com Resources: MOOC - Open-Source Classes https://www.mooc-list.com “Miss Representation” - Documentary (available on Netflix) Shout Outs: Let it Out Podcast with Katie Dalebout http://katiedalebout.com/podcast Ashley Graham, plus-size model Brick-and-Mortar Retailers Target Lane Bryant Torrid Aerie Online Retailers Modcloth (www.modcloth.com) Rebdolls (https://rebdolls.com) That’s So Raven Production & Development for Wine & Shine Podcast by Podcast Masters

Liz Montgomery, Create the Movement: Welcome back to the Create the Movement podcast – our next edition here. I am with Mr. Brad Post. Brad Post, Create the Movement: What’s going on Liz? How are you? L: And I’m Liz Montgomery. B: Yeah. L: I’m good. How are you? B: I’m doing well. Doing well. L: So, last week we talked about … B: Kind of the process of what we look at when we’re approaching a new potential client. L: And the strategy we put together for them. B: Absolutely. L: So, now we have laid out all of our tools that we can use. And we think, “Okay, these are the things that are going to work best for this particular client.” And then, the next step is presenting that to them. B: Absolutely. It’s kind of neat because also, on the Create the Movement podcast, Josh and I, Josh Rich and I just had a conversation on how to develop a marketing budget. That was our L: Oh! Good. B: So, it kind of ties into this. So, you know, hopefully the client would know what their marketing budget is, or have kind of a number. And we would do the pre-work. Right? And, so, now we’re at the point of where we’re proposing the potential new client. So, how do we do that Liz? L: Well, we would schedule an appointment with them. Or, we probably already have that in place. Letting them know, “Okay, we’re going to put this together, and then in our appointment discuss all the options that we would have for you.” So, we’ll go over that with the client, and answer any questions that they may have. The idea is that we’ve already done a lot of the work to make sure we are solving any problems that they were having. Or, you know B: Any “pain points.” L: Any “pain points” that they have had. Or, things that they wanted to make sure happened in their marketing campaign and their online presence.  So, we’ve already done the work to make sure our solution – that we’re really presenting a solution for those things. B: Right. L: So, we present that to them. Answer any questions that they may have. Even there, if they’re happy with the solutions that we’ve offered, they could choose to sign on with us there. And say, “Okay. Great. This sounds good.” Or, if we haven’t written up a full proposal or agreement yet, for them, then we would say, “Okay. We want to make sure we’ve gone over this. We know what you really need. And you’re happy with these solutions. We’ll put that together in an agreement for you.” Send it over. And then they get to be our client. B: Yeah, and just kind of setting the expectations of what they can expect. You know? And then, I think a huge thing about us personally, and our company, and our culture here, is that customer service. So, if you say you’re going to send them a proposal, send it. You know? L: Right. Right. B: Or tell them, “Hey, if you look at your calendar, and it’s four-o’clock in the afternoon. Hey, if it’s okay, I’ll get this proposal over to you in the morning.” L: Right. B: So, just doing what we say we’re going to do. And then. You know me Liz, I’m a stickler on time. You know? So, if we have a three-o-clock appointment with a client, then we call them at three-o’clock. L: Right. B: Or, we show up at 2:50. You know? L: Well, you’re proving your responsibility to them too. You know? B: Yes. L: And building that trust, because we are looking to develop a relationship with them. B: Absolutely. Yeah. And that’s good. And that’s why our sales team here is not “sales”, “sales manager”, or “sales associate”. What are they? L: They’re relationship specialists. B: That’s right. Yes. You’re establishing that relationship. Right? So, it’s a relationship specialist. L: And the idea’s that before, the way we do it, is even before you’re our client. You know? We might be presenting the product to you. Or, presenting these solutions to you. Then, once you become our client, it’s not like now you’re in someone else’s hands and you don’t deal with us anymore. B: Right. L: Because we are looking t...

How to become more by increasing what you expect from yourself each day. On today’s episode Russell tells a story about a guy from some Tony Robbins’ events and why he expected more from himself and how that made his story is so inspiring. He also talks about how wresting helped Russell expect more from himself. Here are 3 cool things to listen for in this episode: People expect a lot of you, but what do you expect from yourself? Why the more you expect out of yourself, the more successful you will be. Why letting yourself off the hook is not always a good idea. So listen below to find out why you should expect more out of yourself in order to be successful. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone, this is Russell Brunson and welcome to a snowy marketing in your car. All right, all right, so we’ve got snow out here in Boise Idaho and it’s beautiful. It’s supposed to snow for the next three days, so I’m hoping we just get dumped on because it would be really fun to take a day or two off with the kids and just do snowball fights, and snow forts, and all of that fun stuff. Cross your fingers that we get dumped on for a little bit here. I just wanted to jump in real quick because I just listened to a podcast and someone said something and it sparked something and I wanted to jump in here. It has to do with what you expect from yourself. We have all sorts of people in our lives that have expectations on us, right? Our wives expect us to do things, our kids, our co-workers, our employees, our parents, our friends, our brothers and sisters, everyone expects things out of us, right? That’s one thing. I’m curious, what do you expect out of yourself? We were at a Tony Robins event and if you’ve ever been to UPW there’s this little, not little. There’s this guy, he’s a little shorter, but like a stocky, bald dude, who’s always on Toby Robins security, and at every UPW. If you ever go you’ll see him, he’s usually one of front guys in the front. He’s always standing there flexing, making sure nobody gets to Tony. Anyway, the last day when Tony sells Business Mastery, usually this guy will get up and tell the story, and how basically when he was growing up … I can’t remember how bad his life was but he went to a Tony Robins event, it changed him. He started just going to every Tony Robins event and just trying to just be there all the time, and be around it, and talked about how it changed his life from being this homeless kid to being a multi millionaire, and all of these things, it was just a really inspiring story. Afterwards we pulled him aside and we were just talking to him, me and four or five of our friends, we were just talking to him and the dude was like oh, so motivational, I just wanted to hire him just to come yell at me once a week. He was talking, and one thing he said that was interesting is we asked like, “What made the difference. Why do you come and work for Tony for free five times a year, and why do you do all of this stuff?” He said, “Where I grew up from nobody expected much from me, so I didn’t do much. When I came here,” he’s like, “Everybody expected a lot out of me.” He’s like, “The reason why I’m so successful now, I expect more out of myself than anyone can imagine.” I remember thinking about that like, that’s the driving force. What do you expect out of yourself? You think about why we get depressed in life, or why we have issues, or whatever it might be, I think it’s usually because we expect something out of ourselves and we don’t do it. I look at the things in my life that I really struggle with and that cause me pain, and almost all of them are associated with this is what I expect from myself, and this is what I’m doing. It’s like when you were a kid and your dad is … you do something really, really bad and you’re expecting him to beat you and you’re preparing for a whooping, and then he comes in and he just looks at you and shakes his head and says, “I expected a lot more out of you,” and walks away. You’re like, “Oh, daggers in the heart. That was way worse, why didn’t you just beat me? I could have handled that.” I think that’s a big thing, and I’m curious for you right now, and everyone listening is in different parts of their life, different times, different seasons, and different parts of their business as well. I’m curious, what do you expect out of yourself? People always ask, “Russell how do you get so much stuff done? How do you blah, blah, blah,” all of these things. I don’t feel like I do that much but I feel like I expect a lot out of myself, because of that I don’t sleep in, in the morning, I don’t go to bed early at night, when I’m at the office I don’t goof off, I’m not surfing Facebook and if it’s not making me money, if I’m not helping someone, I expect so much out of myself that I don’t, I just keep working, I keep moving forward because I expect it out of myself. I look at one of my favorite coaching clients from the last year and a half is Liz Benny, you guys have heard me talk a lot about her. People ask me, “What was different about Liz? How come she was able to grow so fast?” The reality, if you listen to the Voxer messages she sends me, I don’t know anyone that expects more out of themselves than her. She is always on herself, which is part … I’m like man, you’re doing awesome, lighten up on yourself. That’s why she’s so successful, she expects so much out of herself. She always says, “The Liz Benny that I am is not this, I am here, I need to be here, I need to get there. I expect so much out of myself.” I think that sometimes we just let ourselves off the hook. If you’re struggling, it might be because you’re letting yourself off the hook. I don’t know, it might not be, there’s life circumstances, there’s things. Even when I expect a lot of myself we still had issues and headaches, things that come up so I get that, that’s a real thing. If you’re not progressing, and not progressing your own life, your clients lives in the way that you want, I wonder if that’s the issue. I wonder if you’re not expecting as much, enough out of yourself. I’m just going to put it out there, and I may be wrong, I don’t know. If someone was to ask me now thinking back on it like, “Russell why are you having so much success?” There’s a million external forces that have made it, there’s so many. My partners, my employees, and my friends, people that have made this happen, right? Internally for me it’s because I expect so much out of myself, that’s it. I woke up this morning excited to get to work because I expect so much, and I want to do so much, I want to help, and serve, and change, and I can’t do that without it. Anyway I just kind of wanted to throw that out there today, again I was listening to a podcast and that just popped into my head, and thought I would share it and hopefully you get some value out of it. Yeah, it’s interesting, I think the same thing was true when I was a wrestler. My Junior year I was the state champ, and the next year there was a national tournament, you had to be a Senior and a state champ to go to so I was like, “Okay, I’m going to go,” and I expected that I would be an all American. That was what I expected out of myself. My Senior year the state tournament I lost to this punk kid who’s not very good in just a really bad match. I ended up taking third place in state that year, my Senior year. I won it my Junior year and third my Senior year and I was destroyed, it ruined my self image. Everything that I was disappeared that day and I was so mad, but I expected so much out of myself and I was like, “No, I’m an all American. I know that already, that’s not something that’s up for debate just because I lost this match.” I was so mad and I remember we had two months before the national tournament and as like Russell right now is not an all American but I am one, I know that, that’s what I expect from myself, and that’s what I need to get. For the next two months we went crazy, I was working out on average … I remember one time when Dan Gable, when he’s training for the Olympics was working out for seven hours a day, that was the standard I set for myself. I need to work out at least seven hours a day, so I’d lift, I’d go to my high school workout, then I’d try to find another high school close to me that had guys that were also training for the national tournament. I’d travel there, so I had to do two to three wrestling practices a day. During that time, that two month period of time, I went from being a good wrestler to being a great wrestler, I went to national tournament and because I had won the state tournament my Junior year I qualified, but I was probably one of the only dudes in the room who didn’t win the state tournament that year. Came in, and because I expected so much out of myself over that two month period of time I came in and in a tournament that I think prior I would have done alright in, I don’t think I would have placed in it, you walk in and the bracket has eighty six state champs in it. I came in and I beat almost everyone, I beat a two time state champ, I beat a three time state champ, I beat all of these people and I actually made it to the finals. The finals I lost by two points from a kid from New York. I made the national finals, I took second place in the country, I became an all American, and it wasn’t something I was surprised about, I expected that out of myself, but I wasn’t there at the state tournament. It took that loss and that setback, which we all have in life, it took that kick in the nuts, whatever you want to call it, that took me back, for me to really step up and say, “Look, this is what I expect from myself and I need to achieve it all costs.” I did in that situation, anyway, I hope that helps. I know that again everyone’s in different times in life, you may have just lost your state tournament, figuratively speaking, or you may be on the two month process where you’re trying to become who you know you need to become, and maybe you just placed, and maybe you became an all American and now you’re kind of figuring out the next step. Wherever you’re at, the more you expect from yourself the more you’re going to achieve. Yeah, that’s it for today, hope that helps. All right I’m at the office, it’s snowing, and actually I have to go to head shots today so I’m just grabbing my juice, we’re on the juice fast still, and I’m headed in, headed back to get my head shots then I got a webinar today. That’s my plan, appreciate you guys, have an amazing day, and we’ll talk soon.

In the cellular phone store. Customer service assistant: Hello ma'am, how can I help you today? Would you be interested in one of our 4G phones with voice command? Liz: Oh, no thanks. Actually I came in because my phone isn't working. I dropped it in the sink, and I think the battery got wet. C.S.A: Could I have a look? Liz: Sure. C.S.A: I'll have to take it in the back and open it to see what I can do. Liz: Ok. A few minutes later. C.S.A: Here you are ma'am. It's working fine. We had to replace the battery, but I believe your insurance covers that.  Liz: Great! That's a relief! C.S.A: You know, you've had this phone for two years, so you are entitled to a free upgrade. Would a smart phone interest you? You can access email, the web, and do word processing on it. Liz: How much is it per month? C.S.A: It depends on the model. Between thirty and a hundred dollars. Liz: Well, I'll have to think about it. C.S.A: Of course. Here's my card. Just give me a call if you're interested.   Send your questions, suggestions, or your request for Skype lessons to .
