Debt! The conversation no one wants to have but nearly everyone is a part of. This week on IMPACT, host Meghan Walker welcomes back Mary Shores, a 2nd generation debt collector and author of Conscious Conversations. Whether you're in debt or struggling to recoup payments from clients, this episode will give you insight into the emotional aspect of debt collection and impact your approach to finances within your family and business.   Mary teaches entrepreneurs how to approach the conversation of debt with empathy while still being firm on their expectations. Debt collection is not sexy but is vital to your company's survival. In this episode, you will hear about the challenges small business owners face when clients fail to uphold their end of the sacred contract.    This episode is a reminder that you are dealing with human beings who may be facing financial hardship beyond their control, and how you approach them could be the difference between recouping your money or taking a loss. For the clients on the other end of the conversation, this episode will shift your perception of debt collectors who are simply trying to make a living.    This is a conversation that everyone needs to hear. So tune in and get ready to uproot your opinion of debt and your responsibility within The Sacred Contract. KEY TAKEAWAYS [6:45] Embodying spirituality in debt collection [9:10] Shifting the collective consciousness  [10:17] The psychology of debt from both sides  [14:15] The Sacred Contract  [17:00] Engaging in conscious conversations  [23:00] Preventing delinquent accounts [25:50] The Fear of the freakout [29:00] Every patient, every time, everywhere [34:20] Debt is not the enemy [37:40] Teaching kids about finances HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST Maryshores.com @mary_shores Conscious Communications Communication Code for Collectors    GUEST OFFERING https://pages.maryshores.com/communication-code-collectors?r_done=1 MEMORABLE QUOTES   Debt is not the enemy. It's not bad to owe money. You can look at debt as an investment. If you take on debt because it's an investment in yourself or in your business that should be looked at as a very healthy thing. That is a resource that we have a privilege to have, but we shouldn't make the loan the bad guy. -Mary Shores   “It can feel like someone has taken advantage of us. It can feel all different kinds of ways, but I think we don't talk about it, and what we really need to do is have solutions in place, understand this as a business function and a business role, make plans for it accordingly, but more importantly, learn to let go of it!”    -Mary Shores   “When you talk to someone, you're asking them questions, you're getting them to open up. You're getting them to discuss the emotions of it, and what we know from social psychologists is that discussing the emotions behind a feeling helps those feelings dissipate.”      - Mary Shores   "There's a deep shame associated with owing money."    - Mary Shores   "When I engage with someone and deliver a service for someone, this is like a sacred act of my life's work. Like it's not a flippant transaction for me. It is deeply meaningful."   - Dr. Meghan Walker   "How do you approach these difficult conversations?...

Unleash your inner power and with host Meghan Walker as she dives into the world of female leadership, financial health, and wealth on this week's episode of IMPACT! Meghan sits down with three accomplished women: Mary Shores, Adele Tevlin, and April Stroink who share their insights on how to embrace your feminine energy, overcome confidence gaps, and cultivate self-love to achieve financial and personal success.  As women leaders, it's essential for us to embrace our feminine energy, not just our masculine energy. This means leading from a place of empowerment using collaboration, empathy, and compassion. This can be difficult to do when we're surrounded by men in similar roles, but cultivating self-love and a sense of abundance is crucial when it comes to our ability to achieve our goals. The discussion also touches on the importance of keeping emotion out of money decisions and realizing that health and wealth go hand in hand. Financial health is one of the pillars of our overall health, and when we're successful financially and have a healthy relationship with money, we're able to serve people in our communities and have a greater impact. This week's episode of IMPACT is a must-listen for any woman looking to improve her leadership skills, achieve financial success, and build a healthy mindset. Don't miss out on this valuable conversation and tune in now to benefit from the wisdom and experiences of these powerhouse leaders.   KEY TAKEAWAYS [3:06] Background on Adele Tevlin [8:08] Background on Mary Shores [14:50] Background on April Stroink [19:58] Why the gender gap is really a confidence gap [23:33] Why it's important to have policies and procedures [41:48] Tips on asking for money [52:57] Handling household finances [59:14] Two ways to pay yourself   HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUESTS https://www.adeletevlin.com https://www.instagram.com/adele.wellness/ https://www.facebook.com/adeletevlinceoblueprint https://www.maryshores.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/shoresmary/ https://www.instagram.com/mary_shores/?hl=en https://www.amazon.com/Conscious-Communications-Mary-Shores-ebook/dp/B071K9ZM9Y https://aprilstroink.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/AprilStroink    MEMORABLE QUOTES “For women in leadership, I sometimes feel like I'm walking the plank and I'm alone. It's my own limiting beliefs.” Dr. Meghan Walker   “I believe in the power of empathy and compassion in order to create an ultimate rapport and connection with your patients.” Mary Shores   “We have to drop this emotional charge we have over the people that owe us money. We need to be able to let that go.” Mary Shores   “You build up your container, you fill yourself up, you fill up your capacity to lead and to love, and then you're overflowing with it because love is infinite.” Adele Tevlin   “We all have a masculine and feminine energy, or part of us, it's kind of like the ying and the yang.” Adele Tevlin   “The biggest mistake that I see business owners make is chasing the top line and really getting away from the core of their business.” April Stroink   “Part of being a female leader is about balance. When you self care, mentally, emotionally, and physically you actually expand your capacity for all the pieces. That is why it is a limiting belief, ladies, that you don't have time for yourself. The secret to being able to do more is actually to do more for yourself.”  Dr. Meghan Walker   “There's a part of your brain that when you visualize, it's actually using the same neural networks as if you are actually practicing it. So visualization is key.  Adele Tevlin “Understanding financial health and how to get there and how to wrap your mindset around it is absolutely going to distinguish you when it comes to how you're working with your patients.” Dr. Meghan Walker “I so often see that the business is running the owner versus the other way around.”  April Stroink   This episode has been brought to you by The Confident Clinician.  https://confidentclinicianclub.com/ Registration for The Confident Clinician is open until January 31st so take action and register here: https://discover.theconfidentclinicianclub.com/tcc-join Your practice will never be the same.

Our guest is Mary Shores, author of the book Conscious Communications.   Mary shares her insights on why it's so important to resolve conflict in a healthy way, and gives us some practical tips on how to do just that.

It's all about communication. How conscious is your communication? And like in the quote that I started the episode with, are you able to change your mind about things or are you seeking optimal health and hormone balance saying I wanna be exactly the same way I am now doing what I'm doing, thinking what I'm thinking. And I want my hormones to change because I hate to tell you, but mm it's not gonna happen because you do have to change your mind to change your hormones.   [01:54] Mary shores is an innovative communication expert and bestselling author who transforms people's words to help them fall back in love with their work and their customers. 15 years ago, Mary discovered a game changing formula to improve connections among people. It all started with a, do not say list and grew into an entire strategy that will fix your relationships, which by the way, will fix your hormones and your health. Welcome Mary. My pleasure to be here. I'm so excited. Yes. I love your book. And just so I don't forget to, to say the whole title, Mary shores, conscious communications, your step by step guide to harnessing the power of your words, to change your mind, your choices and your life published by hay house.   [03:04] So, you know, since this is a hormone show, I'll go ahead and say this. But when I was 19 and one time I had went to a doctor, they put me on a, an antibiotic, but didn't tell me that antibiotics cancel out birth control. So I ended up pregnant after a healthy pregnancy. I was met with sudden tragedy when my daughter had suffered lack of oxygen to the brain for over five minutes due to umbilical cord asphyxia, which basically meant the way they explained it to me was that her umbilical cord had ruptured. So my daughter Haley was born with severe and profound brain damage. This left her blind death and on life support.   [03:58] And the thing is though, when I got done with that ordeal, I was really lost in life. You know what I mean? I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I felt like my peers had, had moved on, had started their careers. So I decided to go into the family business, which is debt collection. And so oftentimes people don't understand like where is this connection between like debt collection, communication and connection. But for me, I think that because I had lived on the other side of Stu financial stability during that time with my daughter, I had absolutely no resources.   [04:45] And I definitely saw the connection between how debt collectors communicate with people and how that, that causes so much stress and trauma, you know, and I realized very quickly that the common denominator is just having a debt can be a trauma, let alone the way that people are stigmatized over it, or the way that they're treated over it.   [05:41] So I just started to study and I wanted, you know, my big aha moment came when one day I looked at the phone and I said out loud, I just want the next person. I speak to, to be happier at the end of the call than they were at the beginning. Now that was so many years ago. And honestly, I had no idea how I was going to make that happen. But I started with one concept, which was this do not say list. And the do not say list is exactly what it sounds like. It's a list of words we never say, which are no, not can't won't however, and unfortunately   [06:19] So I'm sorry for your loss. And it sounds like it forced you to go into the family business. And because you had this kind of spiritual bent already, and you were going into what probably most people think of as a non-spiritual business, you had a different perspective to bring, to kind of evolve that. And so thank goodness you said, I just want the next person I talk to, to feel better after I get off the phone with them than when they got on the phone, when I got on the phone with them. And so you have the, the do not say list, which I love. I try not to use those words as well.   [07:05] Even if it's reasonable, I get angry immediately because nobody likes being told, no, you can't, you can't have that or no. And tell me what you can do. Don't tell me what you can't do. So this started the do not say list. And then how did it evolve from there? Cuz really you've come to this place now where you've taken it to a whole nother level and your personal journey, evolutionary journey, I think really will speak volumes to women, many women at midlife who are wondering like, what's wrong with me? What's happened to me. I don't know. I feel like myself and my own skin anymore. How do I feel good. And so what happened next on your journey? That was your evolution.   [08:05] And so I turned to neuroscience and specifically neurobiology because I wanted to know like what is happening in the brain and the body and the nervous system when we're communicating and turns out that was like the most brilliant thought I had ever really had because you know, starting with a, do not say list, what I learned was when we are, and it doesn't matter if you're speaking the words or if you're hearing the words, but what's happening when we're enveloped in these negative words, you know, if we're talking to customer service and they say, you know, unfortunately our policy is yada yada, yada.   [08:57] You know, if you're familiar with the David Hawkins frequency scale of emotions, those words are really driving us down the frequency scale of emotions. So my goal was like, how can I move people up? This frequency scale of emotions? And in the book I call this cleanser clog. So it's really like everything. You say, everything you do, every action you take. And this is in all areas of life, not just communication, but every choice you make is either, you know, moving you down that scale, creating a disconnection from what you really want, or it's moving you up that scale. And you know, when you talk about feeling good, it's like if you rate yourself, say on a scale of one to 20 at any given time, and you say, you know, how well do I feel today? And if that answer is, you know, below a 10, then there's a problem we need to like do cleansing activities.   [09:48] So I started to think, how can we create a connection? And that started with validation. So really taking a deep dive into understanding that we're truly all wired for empathy, but we've sort of trained it out of ourselves. And I think that this starts it when we're young children, you know, we have expectations put upon us, we have layers and layers of what other people think we should be when we can take a moment.   [10:48] And so what that allows us to do is take a, a sigh of relief and just drop in and not be so frantic. So the idea here is that we wanna cancel the nervous system. We wanna cancel the fight or flight response, right? And we wanna activate the parasympathetic response by saying connecting words. You are not alone. I can understand that. That sounds really challenging. And that's the step that we're really missing in our communication journey, that it doesn't mean that we're agreeing with someone.   [11:45] It's just acknowledging the emotion. You also do it. If someone has just shared something, that's really amazing. You can say, you know, thank you for sharing that with me. It sounds so exciting. So that's really that first step in the process, but it's such an important step because when you provide a validation, what you're actually doing is you are increasing oxytocin, vasopressin, serotonin, and dopamine. And I don't need to tell you doctor that those are very happy, healthy bonding hormones, right?   [13:19]  So you definitely wanna get the book power versus force by David Hawkins. And he talks about quantifying the frequency of emotion. So I just wanted to let them know about that. And then I think it's so key what you said, the number one need that we have is to feel heard and understood everybody listening, just think like, what do you want more than anything from the people in your life. You want to feel heard, you get upset when people don't really hear you. You're like, you're not listening to me.   [14:05] And, you know, once our material needs are met for shelter and food and rest and things like that, we have these needs to be self-actualized self-expressed to be seen, to be heard, to be validated. And I love, I always my nervous system, you can feel it viscerally, calm down when you get on a customer service call and they immediately say, and you know, when they say this, that they've had training, wow, I'm sorry that you're dealing with that. I know that must be really frustrating. And you're just like, oh, this person it matters.   [14:58] Right. I've been heard and I've been validated, you know, it's interesting. I just came back from this trip in Mexico and I always ask for a cent free chemical free room, wherever I travel, cuz I don't want those VOCs in my, my body doesn't like them. And so I did request one and my room wasn't even ready when I got there. It took another two hours cuz they said you were requested a special room. And I go in my room and they have that scent, you know like most hotels put a scent cuz they think it increases your perceived value of what they're offering. You just like they'll put plastic, some hotels over the top of the drinking glasses in the bathroom.    [15:47] And I also love that you brought in the neuroscience of how this relates to hormone balance, that your oxytocin, dopamine serotonin and your vasopressin, all of these are improved and your sympathetic nervous system, when you are validated and you are heard. So how do you teach people in the book to start tweaking their words and their thoughts and their communication for improved hormone balance? I know that's not, not what you say in the book is the goal, but my people they know that's the goal.    [16:36] And so I'm training other collection agencies. I'm doing training for customer service, but it's really about when you're in that moment, you know, and I, I can tell you a little story with this because a lady that told me this, this story just really warms my heart. Her stepson had sent her a pretty emotionally charged text message. And he was blaming her for his difficult relationship with his father. You know, she immediately felt her walls going up. So step one is when you immediately feel, you know, this person has said something and now you feel your walls going up.   [17:26] So when you know ahead of time that you're going to use some sort of validation statement, you really train yourself that this is the script or the prompt, if you will, that you're going to respond with no matter what. So when she got this text message and she felt her walls going up, she knew reacting defensively would only lead to more conflict, causing more layers of disconnection in their relationship. Now she hadn't heard from him for a number of years before this text message came in. She just got it out of the blue mm-hmm . So instead she used all three steps of our communication, uh, code. And she said, you know, I can certainly understand how deeply you must be hurting.   [18:19] And she said, she'd be happy to pick him up and see him in person. And he didn't respond for quite a while. Instead after a while he called her. And for the first time, in a long time, they had a healthy conversation all because she was able to build a connection that really hadn't existed before. So you know, what you're doing is you're bringing stability to a situation.   [19:08] And then now their mind can be open to a solution. You know, if you've ever been talking to someone and you've got this like great idea for them and, and you feel like you have the right solution, but they're not hearing you, you know, and perhaps they get into story mode where they start repeating that story over and over and over again, if somebody is repeating their story on repeat, that is a sign that they do not feel heard and understood. And the moment that you can validate, not that they're date, not that their story is true. You're validating the emotion that they have associated with that story, because that is truly what helps them process the emotion move through it so that we can be emotionally receptive. You know, our brain space can get stuck on one thing, right? Mm-hmm . And when we follow these steps properly, people can be more open to what we have to say to them.   [20:42] And our energy is our what Dr. Marisa calls, the intangibles, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and our interactions with people. And we really underestimate the power of the emotions. I love that. You're saying you've got to, when the story's on repeat, you've got to hear the emotion and validate that it's not necessarily the story that needs to be validated, but how they are feeling, because that is the essence of what energy is running through their body. And until that's addressed, it will run everything.   [21:33] And so I think what you're saying, I think for some women it's, if you're disconnected from your own feelings, how can you validate another is what I'm thinking? Because I find that some, if people are disconnected and, and a lot of times that's the problem at the root of hormone, imbalance is nervous system dysregulation, disconnection from emotions. How in the world can somebody who's in that state learn to connect with their emotions is the first thing, because I'm thinking, how is she going to validate another? Does that make sense?   [22:38] The good news is that we're actually all wired for empathy. Every single one of us, um, is wire wired for empathy. I heard Dr. Gur ma say that in a, in a talk recently. And I was so happy. He said that because some of us don't believe that we are. So the first thing is understand that every one of us is actually wired for empathy. The second part that I wanna say is that the research shows that when you, when you provide empathy, whether you feel like you're empathetic, whether you think you can do this or not, but if you actually just force yourself to do it like a feedback cycle, it actually starts to strengthen the brain connections to make you more empathetic.   [23:41]  And so as you provide these validation statements and especially, you know, for my staff, because they're doing this day in and day out, we require them to do it with every single person that they're speaking to. And we actually measure it, you know, in our quality assurance calls, they are actually improving upon their own empathetic response. So the reason I'm telling you this is because if you're listening to this and you wanna try it, don't worry. If you feel that you will not be able to do it, if you can just say the words, like I said, when you feel your walls going up, just say those words, you know, that sounds really challenging.   [24:32] Even if you don't mean them, because it's okay, the feeling will come when you say it and you practice it, you will start to actually increase those same happy, healthy hormones in yourself. And that is certainly mm-hmm, a huge thing. You will feel better about yourself. You'll know that you made an impact on another person and it's, it can hu. I mean, I remember the first, in the first few years when people were telling me, you know, Mary, I took this training and it didn't just change my communication. It literally changed my entire life. And I still hear that now to this day.   [25:09] So why do you think Mary, we are hardwired for empathy, little kids, you see this, oftentimes you see, you see more kids helping each other in the playground than you do one kid clobbering, another to take their toy. So why do you think that when I look around, I see a, a lack of empathy in a lot of places. So why is this happening? Well,   [25:32] I'll speak to the lack of empathy first, and this is just a theory. So this is not science based. This is just like my own observation, my own opinion. But I think that we we've been living through some disconnected times for probably about three decades. You know, we have women entering the workforce when, you know, 60 years ago that wasn't really the case. So we've sort of been going through this, um, conscious evolution of sorts, you know, and it changes the way things naturally were for, for millennia before that. And I think that there is a, a challenge with how children are being raised, you know, and I think it starts with coming out with bullying.   [26:19] And especially as women, that's not what we were built for. You know, that is that we were built to nurture. We were built to love. We are pure love, right. But if our behaviors are sort of creating a fork in the road, we've just gotta figure out that, that new balance. And so I have found that definitely through communication. It's a way it's a starting point, just one starting point of many mm-hmm where you can begin to train yourself back into that natural way. And especially, you know, I don't know about you, but I've been diving deep into like the feminine energy concept as well. And there's just so much to that.    [27:26] Yeah, I know. I mean, we were, we were we for sure, I wasn't schooled in, you know, what is this energy body that we have? What is feminine energy? What are all these things? And so now I think a lot of us weren't and we're having to relearn it at a later age, you have so much great information in here. A as you're talking, I know one of the things in the book that you talk about is, you know, the empathy for not only other people, but for ourselves, and you talk about self love and you know, there's so, so many platitudes, oh, love yourself and get a pedicure.   [28:21]  And it's impossible to help someone heal their hormones when they have this negative chatter, it's almost like they have this abuser in their mind. That's constantly berating them cuz their cortisol will never get out of the toilet. How do you help women to start to change their thought patterns, to have empathy for themselves first and really turn the light of love onto themselves   [28:56] There's no way that your girlfriend is gonna look at you and tell you how horrible you are. Right. Mm-hmm no way she's immediately gonna tell you, you know, I know you're gonna get out of this. I know you're gonna be okay. I believe in you. It's okay. You know, she's going to go into that mode because she cares about you and loves you, but it's, it's almost like you have to step out of yourself and be your own girlfriend because you know, that's one of the things I learned. And so what I did, I kind of created this, I think as a five step process, I call it five steps to break through your breakdown.   [29:44] And so what I did was I wrote a list of all of the current issues or perceived issues I had in my life. You know, I think, I think it was like, uh, a key employee had just resigned and I had a big tax bill to pay with my business. You know, I just had some, a list of things. So I wrote out this list and there ended up being 20 things on the list. And when I looked at the list, I immediately had empathy for myself and I, and I remember looking at that list in the moment when I realized like, wow, anyone going through this amount of chaos in their life would be feeling the same way I do. So it's that same validation.   [30:38] So like I would go deep into my mind because of my own past traumas and think I'm gonna turn into a bad lady someday. I'm not gonna, you know, I'm not gonna be able to, uh, support myself. Well, what is that? That's the fight or flight, you know, that's our basic, when you talk about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you know, that's that basic survival rung that we need food and shelter just to survive.   [31:24] And so when we're coming from that, you know, when you're talking about like manifesting, anytime you're manifesting from a place of fear and chaos, you are only going to create more fear and chaos. So it's like you have to slow yourself down. So once you can, you know, look at your situation, perhaps conjure up some empathy for yourself. And one thing I really recommend have a cry session if you can't cry, which I couldn't cry. I mean, if you would've met me six years ago, it had probably been 20 years since I shed a tear. Wow. That is such a, you know, somebody who's disconnected from their emotions.    [32:18] But if we try to take actions when we're still in the fear and the chaos of the moment, really anything we try to create is gonna turn around and it's, it's not gonna work out the way that you think, but once you raise yourself up and whether you call that frequency, vibration, you know, feeling better, whatever words you like to use, anything you manifest from a place of empowerment is going to show up in your life faster, better, stronger, and be more long lasting.   [33:03]  It's just like if you ate steak every single day and that's all you ate, it's not healthy, right. It's unbalanced. And that emotion, energy, and motion needs to move through your body. And so if you're not crying, there's something wrong. Just like if you're not laughing, there's something wrong. And I, as you were talking, I was thinking, I love the suggestion you gave about the movies. What are some of your favorite movies to bring on a good cry?   [33:41] Well, recently I watched, um, the unforgiven with Sandra Bullock. I don't know if you've seen it, but it's absolutely beautiful. I was crying the entire time. You know, another one I'm good at this now, so I can bring up the tears at, at any movie really. Right. Another one was, uh, the tender bar that is a Ben Aflex show. It's really just a heartwarming movie. You know, it doesn't even have to be a sad movie or like peanut butter, Falcon, just these heartwarming stories that can bring emotion up in your body and something you said that I, I would really want to piggyback on. We were built to experience these emotions.   [34:39] Which means she raised me that way, the positive psychology movement while it's good. And, and we do wanna have a positive attitude or we wanna, you know, we wanna focus on, on the positive, but we've taken it so far into our society where there's almost like a guilt and shaming. If you have a negative thought that negative thought is a message for you. If you're feeling an, a it or a pain, that is a message for you. David Hawkins has another book called letting go, where he really takes you through a process where you get in touch with where these emotions are stored in your body. Mm-hmm another tip that I would have is, um, body work, you know, getting a massage it's self care. I agree with you. It's it's not about a spa day. It's about how you take care of yourself and emotions get lodged in the body.    [35:48] Yeah. Very powerful. Because emotion is stored in the tissue. When you get body work to have a release. And then all of a sudden memories might start coming up. Feelings might start coming up and to allow that, and that's loving yourself right. To, to allow that we are gonna need to wrap up. I love this book. And one thing I wanna make sure to talk about is the a hundred things. I love about me. Talk about how this exercise came about. And I want you to, to kind of give everyone a challenge to do this.   [36:19] It sounds simple. So I believe at the time I was working with a friend of mine, he's a dating coach. And he had given me this assignment, which was to write a hundred things that I love about myself. He's really trying to get me to see my own value. Right. But the exercise just turned into something much deeper for myself. And I started writing a list and it's like, oh, I like my long hair. And I love my long legs. And you know, you kind of go through this superficial list of things.    [37:01] This is not just about writing a love list about yourself, because what happened to me after, you know, the month was over when I got to number 99, number 99 and number 100. I remember I wrote, I am radiant. What I love about myself is I am radiant. And I think that that was number 99. And then number 100 was, I am a powerful creator and I could never have come to that moment of realization.   [37:55] So I've had women tell me like, oh, I love that. I love the color teal. And then all of a sudden they, she was wearing a teal blouse and someone complimented her on that color. I've had all these like little strange sort of, um, synchronistic things that have happened with this list. So I really encourage you to do this because, and it will take a while. It's not, I know it sounds easy, but it's not easy, but don't give up until you get to a hundred. So you just take a piece of paper and you say 100 things.    [38:39] So it's about communication, not only with others, but yourself, because the communication you have with yourself really sets the tone for your hormonal balance, which is the foundation for your physical health and wellbeing, mental and emotional health and wellbeing. And I'm gonna challenge you to do those things. Maybe pick up a copy of Mary's book, conscious communications, where can they find the book, Mary, and find out more about you?   [39:21] I think the easiest place to find the book is on Amazon and it's just conscious communications on Amazon. And then also my, my favorite social media is LinkedIn. I know that isn't everyone's favorite social media. So we also have Instagram and Facebook. My website is Mary shores.com. That is M a R Y S H O R E S. And you can find all of our social media links on there. So love to connect with anyone. If you've, if you're checking out the book, I always say, if you read the description or the back cover of it you'll know right away, whether this book is for you.   [39:57] Thank you so much, Mary, for that great resource for writing this for your journey, for your tender, loving care of women at midlife and the tools that you've offered for us. I think they're very powerful. So I'm gonna challenge everyone to, uh, take a look at conscious communications, do your a hundred things and really up level your communication. Maybe look at some of the books we've mentioned by David Hawkins, the letting go book, the power versus force. Even the one by Pema children is good. She's got some beautiful books because having great hormone balance at midlife and beyond and great health is not just about going to the gym and kicking it out with vitamin X, right? It's not just about eating the right diet. It's not just about supplements. Are those things important? Sure. They are, but they're not they're necessary, but not sufficient. So you really have to up level, like we started the episode talking about changing your mind.   [40:56]  So I really want you to start thinking about what am I willing to change? What am I willing to let go of with my chronic thought problem patterns? We think over 70,000 thoughts a day 99% of them are the same. So what new thoughts are you willing to bring in today? What emotions are you willing to allow? What kind of TLC nurturing are you going to allow yourself to give to yourself and to others in your life so they can have that empathy. So I think that great questions yield great opportunity for improvement and new actions in the future. Thank you so much for speaking with us today, Mary, about this and sharing your wonderful book.    [41:51] Thanks so much for spending your precious time with us and, uh, look forward. If you wanna join me on Instagram at Kirin Dunston MD or Facebook at Kirin Dunston MD. Look forward to your comments about Mary's episode and her book. And I would love it. If some of you would post your a hundred things you love about yourself. Wanna ask me a question. I do a Q and a episode every month. So you can do that on my website. Just go on the podcast page and click the microphone and you can leave me a voice memo. Yep. I'll hear it. And maybe I'll respond during our next episode until next week. Peace, love and hormones.

Guest: Bethany Robertson  Debt Recovery Solutions of  OhioVice President, co-owner, and founder of Debt Recovery Solutions of Ohio, Inc. since 2002 where her vision and passion for strategy continues to push the company to new heights. Bethany earned her BA in Business Administration from Mt Vernon Nazarene University in Mt Vernon, Ohio while simultaneously running her own collection agency. Her passions include her love of God and family – especially her two children, Jake and Magey. She is also dedicated to inspiring others to reach their potential and constantly working on being a better version of herself. Growth in all aspects of her personal and professional life is her daily focus, but she truly loves the simple things in life: a stroll on the beach or in the woods, a great challenging and deep conversation, or a lazy nap on the dock. These are the ways she enjoys spending her time reflecting, living and loving. One of Bethany's favorite quotes is from Maya Angelou and it touches on something that she has had to rely on in her life: her own courage. “Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage”.What you'll learn about in this episode: The debt collection business revolves around getting the right person to engage in a conversation around resolving a past due bill. How this conversation happens is under constant scrutiny, because of the changes in technology, consumer preference, and regulations governing this process.  In this pilot episode, Bethany and I dive into the heart of the operation, the collector.  Who they are, what they do, and what it takes to find, train, motivate and keep the best ones.Resources:Website: https://drsohio.com/LinkedIn:Company https://www.linkedin.com/company/debt-recovery-solutions-of-ohio-inc/Email bjoyrob@gmail.comLinkedIn: Personal https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethany-robertson-38368112a/ Additional Resources:Collector Job stats: https://www.zippia.com/debt-collector-jobs/demographics/3 Pivots for better collections Mary Shores  https://www.maryshores.com/post/the-biggest-secret-in-collectionsDonald Miller NegotiationGrant CordoneKnowledge Source

What is debt? And what is the story, or narrative you believe about it? Many women in business will borrow money at some point in their career, whether it's start-up capital to grow, bridge financing to cover unexpected expenses, or as we saw in 2020, emergency funds to get through an economic and global health crisis. In this episode of the Nature of Money, I sat down with Lily's Mockerman, a founder who ended up more than 500K in debt despite her hard-line personal commitment to ‘avoid debt at all costs'. Her story walks us through a pattern of addiction fueled by a desire for control which was imprinted on her as a little girl when her parents lost her family home.  I've had the pleasure of working closely with Lily as a money therapist over the past several years - and have gotten a front row seat to her transformation. Her story illustrates what is possible with deep inner work. Addiction specialist Dr. Reef Karim also joins us, along with Mary Shores, a CEO of an innovative collection agency, to explore how unconscious parts of our debt story are often linked to addictive behaviour. Are you willing to reexamine your relationship with debt? Is it healthy or unhealthy? Maybe you too have been acting out of unconscious beliefs in an addictive pattern, or avoiding the very thing that could set yourself free.

Mary Shores is an innovative collection agency owner, communication expert, and best-selling author who transforms people’s words to help them fall back in love with their work and their customers. Fifteen years ago, Mary discovered a game-changing formula to connect to your customers and clients.

What you’ll learn about in this episode: What big changes Mary has experienced in her business and strategic thinking since her previous appearance in Onward Nation episode 781 How realizing the power of validation communication transformed Mary’s business and created profound opportunities How the myriad challenges of 2020 showed us that transparency is a powerful and vital communication tool that builds brand trust and strengthens relationships Why strong transparency is the first step in clearly defining and articulating your strategy to those outside your organization Why the way we have been conditioned to speak is opposite to how we can actually create a real connection, and why we must learn to communicate differently How neuroscience shows that validation communication is a powerful trust builder, and why validating feelings of the people you’re speaking with matters Why the secret recipe of “validate, activate, integrate” can transform your relationships with your customers and anyone you interact with How the global pandemic has presented a golden opportunity for Mary to teach other debt collection agencies how to communicate with greater empathy and understanding What words appear on Mary’s “Do-Not-Say List” in her debt collection business, and why those particular words are banned Why now is the ideal time to experience exponential growth in your business and career through the extraordinary power of collaboration Resources: Website: www.maryshores.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/shoresmary/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/shores-communications/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/shoresmary Twitter: @mary_shores Additional Resources: Free Executive Leadership Summary report from Predictive ROI: https://predictiveroi.com/research Sell With Authority by Drew McLellan and Stephen Woessner: https://amzn.to/39y7x13 Predictive ROI Free Resource Library: https://predictiveroi.com/resources/ Stephen Woessner’s LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/stephenwoessner/

These six mental habits will help you choose to live a life of happiness and joy every single day! I'm joined by Laura DiBenedetto, author of The Six Habits, to talk about how she discovered these habits and puts them into practice - and why you should, too. Key Takeaways 6 Mental Habits to True Happiness Kindness  Acceptance  Radical Gratitude Presence Goodness Intention About Laura DiBenedetto TEDx Speaker, #1 Bestselling author of The Six Habits and Life Mastery Coach, Laura DiBenedetto teaches how to create the life of our dreams without sacrificing what we love. As Founder and CEO of Vision Advertising, a company that she built aged 19, she has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs build and grow profitable enterprises entirely on their terms. Choosing Joy and Success for YOU Laura DiBenedetto brings such a joyous conversation today that I am only too glad to share with you. She talks about how she started her professional life by looking to other people for what success means. She pushed herself to be successful to please her parents, her colleagues, and other people… But what she really found was that in order to truly feel successful, she needed to do it for herself. It doesn't matter how full your resume is if you're miserable - what makes you happy? You also have to learn to give yourself permission to make decisions from an adult point of view, rather than the 10-year-old you who formed a lot of your initial beliefs. As you age, of course, your views and beliefs will change. Laura says you have to give yourself the space to examine what they are now. The Six Mental Habits to Happiness Laura explains why and how she started researching the mental habits of the happiest people on earth. It's about practicing kindness to yourself, acceptance of yourself, radical gratitude always, being present, knowing goodness, and setting good intentions.  Laura says you might have a good grasp of some of these habits, but if there's one spot you're lacking, focus on that one first. She knows how difficult it can be to practice kindness to yourself. Laura gives some great examples of what this could look like for you. Finally, Laura talks about why it's so important to walk the path of truth. Being truthful and honest, even when it's hard, is one of the kindest acts you can do for yourself and for other people. Rank the things are and aren't working in your life. What do you care about? What are you scared about? As always, you can ask me anything and let me hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page. If you have questions, email team@drannacabeca.com. In This Episode Why you have to chase success for yourself, not anyone else [5:00] How to give yourself permission to make decisions from an adult point of view [11:30] Why you need to adopt these 6 habits so you can feel true happiness [15:00] What it looks like to practice kindness to yourself [22:00] What happens when you walk the path of truth [32:00] Quotes “Who cares how great your resume is. If you're miserable, it doesn't matter.” [5:06] “We make so many decisions from a place of passion and fear, but more often than not, it's fear.” [12:49] “Pursuing our dreams because of joy should not be rare. Pursuing wealth because of fun and because it's great to have nice things and do for others should not be rare.” [15:01] “I will tell you right now, each of us, you, me, anyone that's listening: You are already good at some of these habits. They might need tweaking but you're already good in some of them. You might even be great at one or two. You need to figure out which one is causing you the most pain, put out the biggest fire, and start there. The order is not my prescription, it's yours.” [28:34] Resources Mentioned Find Out More About The Six Habits Find Laura DiBenedetto Online Follow Laura DiBenedetto on Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn Join the KetoGreen Community on Facebook Buy Keto-Green 16 Check out the full episode page Find Dr. Anna Online Follow Dr. Anna on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Related Episodes 160: How to Raise Your Energetic Vibration w/ Jay & Monica Campbell 156: How to Have Compassion for Yourself w/ Mary Shores 154: How to Unlearn What You Were Taught About Suffering w/ Sarah Anne Stewart

This is the final episode of the show! After 128 episodes, I have decided to practice that I preach, and make the tough call on priorities and pressures in my life, which means this show will be setting with the sun today. Whether that's forever or for now is not relevant because "forever" is not happening today. With all the demands on my time, I have been facing my own burnout – something I've had as a central theme in many episodes in this show. To protect and love myself, I've taken an inventory of all the things that I am committed to, where they are in the grand scheme of building toward my goals, whether they've served their purpose, and how I might be able to move forward without them. Though it was a hard decision I've grappled with for several months, ending the show here made a lot of sense. Do a Day is not going anywhere, however, with all the resources at your fingertips, as ever. You can still get the book in paperback, Kindle, Audible, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Nook and more. You can still do the Do a Day Masterclass, or sign up for 1-on-1 coaching with me. And the entire back catalog of episodes of the show will still be available for you to go back, listen to, and grow from. With all the stories and inspiration in the 127 episodes that I've released before this final one, I know there is at least one spark that every person in the world could use to start the flame that lets you Go Out and Do It! Respect for all my past guests: Season 1 I kicked the show off sharing the story of Do a Day. Charlie Gilkey shares about how being smart makes you strong. Evan Ruggiero reminds us through his cancer batter that rising up even when half of your world vanishes is possible. Amy Schuber taught us that you are the inspiration you seek. Ryan Caligiuri shared his mantra that there are no set backs, only set ups for what's next. One of my favorite artists, MC YOGI, talked about how all things grow in darkness Anne Sugar shared her battle with cancer as a way to see how you can trust your body even when it betrays you. Chris Wirth hit on his message of never quitting on living the life you deserve. David Ralph reminded us about the power in our lives if we connect the dots. Claude Silver shared her story (for the first time) of why she is who she is today and how that's showed her the importance of Heart in leadership. Elizabeth McCourt talked about the empowerment we can take from building our own resilience. Josh LaJaunie shared his story of overcoming extreme obesity--not just for himself, but for the world around him. Michael Nulty talked about his multiple suicide attempts and how he found rebirth out of depression. Mark Metry shared the importance of taking responsibility for your life and what you can achieve as a new person. My good friend, Aaron Keith Hawkins, talked about how we need to have influence over ourselves if we want to influence anyone else. Kelsey Abbott helped us Find Our Awesome through self-confidence and curiosity. She also gave me a quote I've used almost daily, "What you I say is about me. What you hear is about you." Dorie Clark reminds us of the important of perseverance and consistency if we want to achieve our greatest goals. Sonya Looney, world female mountain bike endurance champion, was just awesome, but had a key message around vulnerability and honesty with ourselves. She also gave me another gem of an idea around being stuck. Rather than being negative about the feeling, she recognizes it's a sign of something big being about to happen. Tim Fargo talked about the humility and balance we can find in unexpected places like failure. The amazing Dr. Jason Brooks shared the importance of being dedicated to finding your purpose and its transformative power on our lives. Jen Arnold shared her story around food and her weight and how that inspired her to change how we look at wellness and knowing ourselves. Lee Havern shared how he overcome depression and recognized the interconnectedness between mental and physical wellness. Emmitt Muckles left us charged up and recognizing that prosperity has nothing to do with money. Terri Levine, who lives in extreme, debilitating pain, showed how you can still find power and heart and use that to create something. Leigh Martinuzzi talked about finding his hidden Why and what that can unlock. The great Dick Vitale shared a power packed message of inspiration and making the choice to get up and move forward no matter what hits you, as he's done throughout his life. Season 2 Steve Gordon showed how falling down may be necessary to reach new heights Robb Holman talked about the power of letting go so we can find meaning and purpose Lindsey Heiserman inspired us to not let our past stories be part of our right now Charise Colbert shared her journey coming out of domestic abuse Sara Quiriconi talked to us about how to live free of all the cancers in our life Syd Finkelstein on how to be a Super Boss leader Ariana Robinson Danquah shared how to rise up when you're stuck in the middle Jon DeWaal gripped us with his story of falling off a roof and how that helped him see how to get through life's toughest transitions John Zeratsky talked about what he discovered to achieve the most, and it has nothing to do with productivity Josh Perry taught the power of gratitude even in the face of life's greatest challenges if you want to come through them thriving Mark Crandall shared his trauma story to help us see how facing our trauma's allows for growth Adam Schaeuble got us all fired up, and he also inspired with his approach to reimagining your life – and making it come true Sandy Vo talked about her journey to find clarity and peace despite a foundation of turmoil Cornell Thomas is the epitome of the "What's Next?" attitude winning over the "Why Me?" mentality Sandra Younger taught us her Come Back approach to be a victor, not a victim of tragedy Jenn Swanson talked about her journey off loss, gratitude and realization that you are your best investment Howard Jacobson shared how losing his father inspired his mission to fight diseases of ignorance with the wisdom of lifestyle Brooke Siem retold her amazing journey navigating her way out of a life of medication for mental illness into a life of discovery Tanur Badgley showed how to become a person of purpose through his journey starting with a fall off the side of a mountain Gary Bertwistle talked about the power of authenticity and discovering your mojo Frank King went into how thoughts of suicide taught him to go after what he really wanted, and why so many people need support as they face moments that lead them to these thoughts Mary Shores talked about the power of serving others as she went from dented to thriving Nick Elvery shared his journey from addiction to peak performance and what sparked the change Jaime Jay got vulnerable as he retold his story of multiple experiences with homelessness to being in a place of gratitude and contentment Dai Manuel talked about the importance of living as you need to, from your own perspective Blaire Palmer showed how the greatest thing we can bet on is ourselves Season 3 Dov Baron forced us to look at what's really going on, magnifying it, and then using that insight to truly grow Episode 056. Transporting From Darkness to Your Future Vision with Sarah Centrella Episode 057.

These six mental habits will help you choose to live a life of happiness and joy every single day! I’m joined by Laura DiBenedetto, author of The Six Habits, to talk about how she discovered these habits and puts them into practice - and why you should, too. Key Takeaways 6 Mental Habits to True Happiness Kindness  Acceptance  Radical Gratitude Presence Goodness Intention About Laura DiBenedetto TEDx Speaker, #1 Bestselling author of The Six Habits and Life Mastery Coach, Laura DiBenedetto teaches how to create the life of our dreams without sacrificing what we love. As Founder and CEO of Vision Advertising, a company that she built aged 19, she has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs build and grow profitable enterprises entirely on their terms. Choosing Joy and Success for YOU Laura DiBenedetto brings such a joyous conversation today that I am only too glad to share with you. She talks about how she started her professional life by looking to other people for what success means. She pushed herself to be successful to please her parents, her colleagues, and other people… But what she really found was that in order to truly feel successful, she needed to do it for herself. It doesn’t matter how full your resume is if you’re miserable - what makes you happy? You also have to learn to give yourself permission to make decisions from an adult point of view, rather than the 10-year-old you who formed a lot of your initial beliefs. As you age, of course, your views and beliefs will change. Laura says you have to give yourself the space to examine what they are now. The Six Mental Habits to Happiness Laura explains why and how she started researching the mental habits of the happiest people on earth. It’s about practicing kindness to yourself, acceptance of yourself, radical gratitude always, being present, knowing goodness, and setting good intentions.  Laura says you might have a good grasp of some of these habits, but if there’s one spot you’re lacking, focus on that one first. She knows how difficult it can be to practice kindness to yourself. Laura gives some great examples of what this could look like for you. Finally, Laura talks about why it’s so important to walk the path of truth. Being truthful and honest, even when it’s hard, is one of the kindest acts you can do for yourself and for other people. Rank the things are and aren’t working in your life. What do you care about? What are you scared about? As always, you can ask me anything and let me hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page. If you have questions, email team@drannacabeca.com.   In This Episode Why you have to chase success for yourself, not anyone else [5:00] How to give yourself permission to make decisions from an adult point of view [11:30] Why you need to adopt these 6 habits so you can feel true happiness [15:00] What it looks like to practice kindness to yourself [22:00] What happens when you walk the path of truth [32:00]   Quotes “Who cares how great your resume is. If you’re miserable, it doesn’t matter.” [5:06] “We make so many decisions from a place of passion and fear, but more often than not, it’s fear.” [12:49] “Pursuing our dreams because of joy should not be rare. Pursuing wealth because of fun and because it’s great to have nice things and do for others should not be rare.” [15:01] “I will tell you right now, each of us, you, me, anyone that’s listening: You are already good at some of these habits. They might need tweaking but you’re already good in some of them. You might even be great at one or two. You need to figure out which one is causing you the most pain, put out the biggest fire, and start there. The order is not my prescription, it’s yours.” [28:34]   Resources Mentioned Find Out More About The Six Habits Find Laura DiBenedetto Online Follow Laura DiBenedetto on Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn Join the KetoGreen Community on Facebook Buy Keto-Green 16 Check out the full episode page Find Dr. Anna Online Follow Dr. Anna on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter   Related Episodes 160: How to Raise Your Energetic Vibration w/ Jay & Monica Campbell 156: How to Have Compassion for Yourself w/ Mary Shores 154: How to Unlearn What You Were Taught About Suffering w/ Sarah Anne Stewart

Pelvic floor pain is one of the most common issues we have that no one talks about. I'm joined by my girlfriend, Dr. Brianne Grogan, to talk about how she makes relieving pelvic pain accessible and, dare I say, fun. Key Takeaways The steps to relieve pelvic floor pain at home: Deep breathing Relaxation techniques Body scanning Stretching Talk about your pelvic pain About Dr. Brianne Grogan With nearly 15 million views on YouTube and a 5-star reviewed podcast and book, Dr. Brianne Grogan, PT, DPT is a leading voice in the field of pelvic health and wellness. Her viewers love her for her down-to-earth, compassionate approach and for making pelvic floor fitness fun, mainstream, and accessible. Breathing and Relaxation for Pelvic Floor Pain Pelvic floor pain is a serious condition that you can start treating at home. Dr. Brianne Grogan is here today to talk about what you can do, starting today, to ease the chronic pain that's so common among both women and men. She takes us right back to basics. If you have pelvic floor pain, some of the things you can start doing to calm it down are deep breathing exercises and relaxing. This might sound easier said than done, but Bri breaks some of these exercises down into really manageable tasks. Bri also talks about the Paradoxical Relaxation method. This approach basically takes a look at how you can relax as much as you can - and from there, accepting where you are. This might mean that you accept you have a certain degree of pelvic pain, but it's much less than it was before you relaxed. Embrace Your Feminine Energy to Reduce Pelvic Floor Pain Brianne talks a lot about masculine and feminine energy in this episode. These energies exist in both of us and we can embody them both at any given time.  While masculine energy is very much in the mind of forcing through the pain, treating pelvic health needs a more nurturing, gentle approach, which comes from our feminine energy. By stepping into our feminine energy, Bri explains some of the techniques we can use to relax our pelvic floor and reduce the pain we have there at home. From self-massage to internal stretching, healthy eating to self-care and relaxation, she lets us know exactly what we can do without a large financial investment. I do want to stress one thing: Bri explains why doing Kegel exercises is counterproductive to reducing pelvic floor pain. Kegels help to strengthen your muscles and focus on contracting your pelvic floor - the exact opposite of what you want to do to relieve any pain you're having!  As always, you can ask me anything and let me hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page. If you have questions, email team@drannacabeca.com. In This Episode What the basics of calming your pelvic floor pain are [9:00] How you can breathe your way to an ease in pelvic floor pain [12:24] What Paradoxical Relaxation is [14:00] What the differences between masculine and feminine energy are [22:25] What you can do at home to release your pelvic floor muscles [28:30] How our brain and our gut can contribute to our pelvic health [36:00] Quotes “Focus on effortless letting go. You're letting go without pushing to make it happen, which is interesting because that brings in the energy, masculine versus feminine energy. It's a very masculine energy to push and make things happen, “I'm going to make this tension go away!” in a very hard-driving manner. We're doing a very feminine approach to releasing the tension. Let's see what can let go naturally.” [13:25] “It's not that it's in your head, it's not that you're making up the pain at all. It's just that there are some responses that we need to unlearn.” [17:37] “What we need is actually to release the muscles. Kegels are really the last thing you want to do if you have pelvic pain and tension.” [25:32] Resources Mentioned Heal Pelvic Pain at Home, Holistically Find Dr. Brianne Grogan Online Follow Dr. Brianne Grogan on Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Pinterest Listen to Dr. Bri Talks Lady Bits on Apple Podcasts | Spotify Join the KetoGreen Community on Facebook Buy Keto-Green 16 Check out the full episode page Find Dr. Anna Online Follow Dr. Anna on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Related Episodes: 154: How to Unlearn What You Were Taught About Suffering w/ Sarah Anne Stewart  156: How to Have Compassion for Yourself w/ Mary Shores  153: Feeling Fit and Fabulous After Fifty w/ Debra Atkinson

It’s time to stop the negative talk to both yourself and the people around you. We’re introducing conscious communication from here on out. I’m joined by Mary Shores to talk about how she created this communication model to positively impact her personal and business relationships. Key Takeaways What’s on the Do Not Say List: No Not Can’t  Won’t However Unfortunately About Mary Shores Mary Shores is an innovative collection agency owner, communication expert, and best-selling author who transforms people's words to help them fall back in love with their customers. Fifteen years ago, Mary discovered a game-changing formula to connect to your customers and clients. It all started with a do not say list and grew into an entire strategy that will fix your relationships. Change Your Thoughts: Change Your Life Mary shares with us the story of her childhood and what led her to start her own business as a debt collector. It’s such an emotional tale but is one that has such a positive outcome. Mary tells us the exact moment she decided to change her mindset… and change her life. When she decided to take a more positive outlook with her communications, Mary sent out that conscious request to the universe that she would embody that joy, however, and wherever she could. Part of this was allowing herself to examine her negative thoughts when they arose. By learning where her negative thoughts and emotions stemmed from, she figured out how to work with and through past trauma. Over the past 15 years of inner work, Mary developed an alternative model for Positive Psychology. The Power of Thought Quality lets you look at what impact your thoughts have and where the power of your individual words lies. This led Mary to create the Cleanse or Clog formula. This method acts as a way to train your mind and thoughts to recognize when something is good for you - or something that’s sitting more negatively in your life. Have Some Compassion for Yourself Mary talks about the power that exists when you label your emotions. For so many of us, figuring out what we’re actually feeling seems like a nearly impossible task. But, as Mary details, when you can get there, there is immense healing. Something Mary encourages us all to learn how to do more often is to have compassion for ourselves. There is so much power in the negative words we speak to ourselves and, on top of this, we’re all under immense stress and pressure. Mary recommends writing down everything you feel that’s going wrong in your life right now. When you look at that list - how does it make you feel? I want you to know that you’re justified if you’re feeling overwhelmed and that you owe yourself some compassion. How would you talk to your six-year-old self? Will you be implementing the Do Not Say list in your life? As always, you can ask me anything and let me hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page.

Because let’s face it, life is not always rainbows and sunshine all the time, every single day.” [15:51] “Focus on what you can do instead of what you can’t do. Now, here’s the difference between the power of thought quality and positive thinking: When you find the thing that you can do, no matter how small that is, I want you to celebrate it like it is a huge moment in life.” [18:19] “If you say ‘no’ to another person or you say something negative to another person and it triggers them, well it’s doing the same thing when you’re talking to yourself that way.” [30:54] “When you can reestablish that connection to your feelings, your body’s ability to receive pleasure will begin to restore itself.” [41:19] “Just start where you are. It doesn’t matter. If you are like me and you don’t even understand the concept of what a feeling is, just trust me and write your list of everything that you feel is broken in your life.” [47:16]   Resources Mentioned Buy Conscious Communication by Mary Shores on Amazon Find Mary Shores Online Follow Mary Shores on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Pinterest Join the KetoGreen Community on Facebook Buy Keto-Green 16 Check out the full episode page Find Dr. Anna Online Follow Dr. Anna on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter   Related Episodes: 151: How to Create Your Joyful, Authentic Personal Brand w/ Juju Hook 154: How to Unlearn What You Were Taught About Suffering w/ Sarah Anne Stewart 149: How to Create an Abundant, Aligned, and Fulfilled Life w/ Natalie Matushenko

In this episode, we explore how to create deeper connections with our fellow human beings through Conscious Communication. Our guest is Mary Shores, a transformational leader in the world of business and personal development. We have nine mantras from the show: Mantra #1: Shift the use of “should” to... “help me understand how to do this better” Mantra #2: Our words cast “spells” (from the word “spelling”) Mantra #3: The word Abracadabra means “I will create as I speak” Mantra #4: Loneliness is the sickness of our time and results from a lack of communication and connection Mantra #5: Communication and connection is about listening Mantra #6: Deep listening happens in 3 steps: 1) validation, 2) planting a seed of happiness, and 3) suggesting can-do ideas or solutions Mantra #7: Deep listening does not include the words “but” or “unfortunately” Mantra #8: Do-not-say words include “no”, “not”, “can't,” and “however” Mantra #9: Ask: how do you feel (about the elephant in the room) More about Mary Shores From Mary: BOLD - NO-NONSENSE - APPROACHABLE - TENACIOUS | When people think of me, those are the words I hope come to mind. See, I have built a career and a business on the power of “Words That Work.” As such, I believe to my core that the words that fill your inner monologue as well as the words you choose to say have a profound impact on your life and the lives of others. To provide some proof, here is a (condensed) timeline of the trajectory of my life: ♦ In 1998 I opened a debt collection agency, Midstate Collection Solutions. Despite rough personal circumstances, I harnessed the power of positive words and thinking to do this. ♦ In 2005 I overhauled my business model around my proprietary “Words That Work” method and a commitment to making those in debt happier at the end of a call with Midstate than they were at the beginning. ♦ The makeover worked and soon I shifted my focus to changing the debt collection industry as a whole. I began traveling and sharing the “Words That Work” method with businesses all over the country. ♦ I realized that words have the power to change not only businesses, but also people at their core and I set out to help others. ♦ In 2015 I authored and published a best-selling book with Hay House, “Conscious Communications: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Words to Change Your Mind, Your Choices, and Your Life.” ♦ After the success of the book, requests to speak, and professional development industry involvement, I launched The Mary Shores Brand, which aims to share what I have learned through various mediums including speaking engagements, workshops, retreats, podcasts, books, and more. Today, I concurrently run the Midstate Collection Solutions business while also building The Mary Shores Brand. I LOVE what I do and get to do it because of the words I choose to say to myself and project to others.

Mary Shores is a powerhouse business strategist, communications expert and author who helps transform people's words to help them fall back in love with their work and with their customers. 15 years ago, Mary discovered a game changing formula to connect to your customers and your clients. It all started with a “do not say” list and grew into an entire strategy that will fix your relationships and grow your business. Mary, welcome to the Mindshare Mindcast.

Be prepared to have your mind blown and your perspective on the world changed.  Because that’s what happened to us.  Today’s guest, Mary Shores, is someone we’ve wanted to interview on And She Spoke for a long time.  Last year, Sandy was preparing to be a guest on Dr. Meghan Walker’s incredible Entrepology Podcast. While she was doing some research before her appearance, she stumbled across Mary’s episode, intriguingly titled ‘How to Get Comfortable Asking People for Money.’ She clicked on it and listened all the way through. And promptly fell in love.  In huge part because of Mary’s story.  Very spiritual by nature, Mary also happens to own a multi-million dollar debt-collection business.  And those two are not mutually exclusive in her world.  Mary runs her business on the concept of ‘conscious communication’ - a groundbreaking system that she teaches businesses and individuals across the country.  She believes that the concept of debt-collection operates on fear and shame-mongering.  But her aim is to make people feel good about paying back their debt.  And through highly compassionate collections, Mary helps her clients free their debt burdens and thus reduce their karmic debt. Which helps her feel lighter herself. And a big part of how she does it is making sure she’s 100% aware of how she’s speaking to people, what words she’s using, and knowing exactly what kind of response they’ll elicit.  Mary also gets candid about some of the trauma she’s experienced: from being abandoned, to being out on her own at 16, to losing a child at 19.  She isn’t ashamed of her trauma nor does she try to hide it. On the contrary, she explains how it gave her the necessary perspective she needed for her business and how it lit that entrepreneurial fire in her.    Tune in to learn more about Mary’s life, her values regarding accountability, her tips for effective customer communication, and how every business needs to be thinking about their audience’s emotional needs and psychology in their operations.   Here’s a peek at what else you can expect: How COVID-19 has amplified Mary’s insecurities The words you should never use in your business How to use neurobiology in your business Why every business owner needs to extensively study financials The problem with the ‘charge what you’re worth’ mantra The highest converting phrase in online marketing What businesses can learn from offering scholarships RESOURCES Mary Shores - Website Mary Shores - Instagram Conscious Communication - Mary Shores Entrepology Podcast - Dr. Meghan Walker   This Week’s Joy: Mary’s biggest joy working from home has been being able to catch up on sleep.  Every night, Mary goes to sleep around 9:30 PM, wakes up at 5:00 AM and spends 3 hours (!!!) writing.    This Week’s Hustle: Mary’s hustle has something to do with working from home too!

Bar none, the most simple and useful access point to begin creating change in our lives is by shifting how we talk to ourselves and others.

In this brief format, you'll hear about some ways to start observing your language and self-talk, some simple shifts to make, and how to make change last. In this episode you'll learn Creating alignment and what that really means Barrier beliefs and tapping into your positive potential Tapping into the problem solving abilities of your brain How affirmations really work and what to do instead The power of proximity Understanding how conflict language creates a stress response and what to do instead What parts of your language forces you to look at worst case scenarios Seeing the roots and workings or victim language How your language shapes indecision and what to replace it with The benefits of the simply slowing down your rate of speech How your personal development is like a muscle and it needs to be trained from where you are at and MORE…

The mind is a powerful tool and holds the key to how we behave and respond to the world around us. While mindset is a huge buzzword these days, there is a good reason for it! When you understand what motivates and animates certain parts of your behavior and mindset, you can begin to make the adjustments you need to reach your zone of genius. On this episode, you'll hear from author, speaker, and developmental powerhouse Mary Shores! Mary has been recognized as a leader of innovative thought and has been described as a “revolutionary thinker”. She has spent over a decade teaching businesses and individuals how to inspire others, create new ways of thinking, identify their goals, and take action to create meaningful results. After coming from humble beginnings and experiencing devastating tragedy, Mary overcame adversity and became the youngest owner of a Collections Agency; one that prides itself on empowering consumers by alleviating their burden of debt. In our conversation, Mary shares some awesome tools and practices that Kaizenites like you can use to kick some harmful habits and embrace conscious communication with yourself and the world around you. Here are a few takeaways from today's podcast episode with Mary: How utilizing affirmations can help you adopt a healthy mindset. Understanding the impact of past trauma and finding a way to heal. Cleanse or Clog, a helpful filter for multiple aspects of your life. What it takes to start a self-care regimen. Don't miss this chance to discover pivotal lessons and insights from Mary's hard-fought perspective!  Outline of This Episode [1:20] I introduce my guest, Mary Shores.  [3:00] Mary joins the podcast. [5:30] Why affirmations are so powerful. [7:30] How trauma shapes us. [9:30] I run through a bit about Mary's background. [12:00] Mary talks about her passion for helping others pay their debts. [15:00] What you focus on grows! [17:20] The words you choose matter. [22:00] Cleanse or Clog? [26:30] What is the “Core Four?” [31:00] How does alignment impact your mindset?

I don't know about you but I want NEED a silver bullet that will help me cut through my severe case of shiny object syndrome and tap into a healthy response. Luckily, Mary has devised a genius tool that you and I can use every day to get us back on track and move away from our self-defeating impulses. The truth is, our enemy is complexity. There are so many options we could choose and doors we could walk through that we easily get overwhelmed. To cut through all that complicity and move forward with conscious communication Mary teaches a tool called “Cleanse or Clog.” You can use this tool by considering a choice you have before you like, a cheeseburger. Will eating this cheeseburger cleanse or clog my body? Obviously, a cheeseburger will end up clogging your body so you reject the cheeseburger and opt for the salad. You can apply this same approach to more significant decisions like a business opportunity. Does that opportunity clog and bog you down with little payoff or does it sync up with your mission and values providing a more cleansing result? Learn more about his helpful tool and how you can use it to cut through all the junk and complexity in life by listening to this exciting episode with Mary! What are your “Core Four?” Where your focus goes, energy flows. - Tony Robbins While trying to navigate life as a single parent, running an organization, and everything in between, Mary struggled to figure out how to get her life progressing in the direction she needed it to go. Inspired by Tony Robbins' teaching on “What you focus on, grows” Mary developed what she calls her “Core Four.” These are four themes that she identified in business that she wanted to see upward movement and growth in. Bringing on new clients. Creating custom programs. Industry involvement. Using branding to the fullest potential. How can you use Mary's example to get movement in key areas of your life and operate out of conscious communication? What will your Core Four be? Hear more details about developing your Core Four from Mary by listening to this informative episode! Don't neglect self-care! Like any good athlete, runners know that if you want to go the distance in an endurance race like a marathon you've got to pay attention to your body and care for it. The same concept applies to you, Kaizenites! You have no hope of going the distance in life or business if you neglect self-care and treat your body like crap! Mindset and physical care are closely linked. In fact, when you care for your body it can help to rejuvenate and energize your mind! If you want to continue to operate in your zone of genius and fire on all cylinders, you've got to pay attention to your body and discover a self-care regimen that works for you. Everyone is different, maybe self-care for you looks like heading off to the mountains for a backpacking trip or a weekend getaway at the spa. Whatever it is, plan and schedule it BEFORE you burn out and reach the end of your rope.

Mary blends personal experience with her extensive knowledge of neuroscience and human behavior to guide businesses and individuals to defeat the freak out and create their ideal life.

Mary Shores and I first met when we were both crewing a Tony Robbins event, back in 2016, and at the time she was in the final throes of writing her book, Conscious Communications: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Words to Change Your Mind, Your Choices, and Your Life. What I didn't know at the time was that Mary had actually WON a chance to be published through Hay House Publishing. In case you're not familiar, Hay House is an internationally known publishing house that has produced Best Sellers from people like Mike Dooley, Gabby Bernstein, Mariane Williamson, Wayne Dyer, and countless others.  So yeah… kind of a big deal.  Mary is a long-time entrepreneur and now, a Best-Selling author, but you'd never guess how she's managed to merge her worlds to create such a fulfilling career. Passionate about re-writing how our country faces debt, Mary has built up her debt collection agency over the past decade, and she's used this experience as a catalyst to help people choose the words they use to better their life. The debt industry is fraught with negativity and shame, but through research, Mary has been able to articulate in her book how a simple shift in our language can reframe our entire experience.  “Alignment is when your words, thoughts, actions, and choices are all going in the direction of what you want." I love getting a scientific approach to personal development, and Mary's book delivers just that. Take a listen to today's interview, grab a copy of her book, and start to see how conscious communication can change your life.  THE BOLD LIFE MOVEMENT SUBSCRIBE: iTunes | Stitcher Radio | YouTube   FOLLOW MARY: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Linkedin | Youtube SOME QUESTIONS I ASK: What are the different kinds of affirmations?  How can people start to focus on the positive?

What advice would you give to people who don't know the outcome they want to bring about, they just know they don't want the situation they currently have? What is the 'Cleanse or Clog' method? IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN:  How her book differs from others in this space.  What does it mean to be “in alignment” and why you want it.  What is a neural pathway. Why words are easier to control than your thoughts.  The 5 different types of self-expression. How your involuntary speech patterns affect your reality.

Did you know that there is an actual neuroscience in communication that explains why words have a certain impact on us? And that we can consciously choose language to have an intentional impact on our listeners? No matter what kind of work we do, having the skill to choose our words for maximum impact can make all the difference in our results. And as we navigate our professional lives, it's likely our interests will change and we'll feel compelled to seek a new or different ways to make our livelihood – but how to identify our latent or emerging talents? And finally, the manner we manage our diets, finance, and even relationships both at work and at home can be classified as either “cleansing or clogging.” In this episode, we explore these seemingly independent ideas and how they can be practiced and woven together for a happier, more productive set of results at work and at home.
