Looking at placemaking and civic pride in the Quad Cities, there's been a lot of progress. That's partly thanks to the entrepreneurship and leadership of Maria Ontiveros, president of Mercado on Fifth and Nancy Ballenger, vice president and general manager of Isle Casino - Hotel Bettendorf.Mercado on Fifth is a weekly event that invites all ages to downtown Moline to celebrate and immerse themselves in Hispanic Heritage. The Isle is one of three casino properties in the Quad Cities, and recently joined forces with Caesar's Entertainment. They have both served on the Visit Quad Cities Board of Directors and each earned a Destination Impact Award. This award recognized their meaningful contributions to the region.

In this episode, Jack talks with Ashley Schock, Founder of Simply Beautiful Living, about her holistic approach to interior design. Have you ever thought about how your home feels?

She believes you deserve a home that reflects your true essence and personality—one that evolves with you as you move through the chapters of your life.Ashley's company, Simply Beautiful Living, helps clients design a space that reflects their personal style and needs, effortlessly blending beauty, comfort, and practicality. Her holistic approach offers an intuitive blend of design and functionality that turns each room in a home into a nourishing sanctuary in which to live, work, connect, and recharge.If you've been feeling like your house has just become a collection of stuff rather than the place you love to call home and a space that serves you and the ones you love, then this episode is for you.To learn more about Ashley Schock and Simply Beautiful Living, visit https://simplybeautifuliving.comConnect with Ashley on social media at:Facebook: https://facebook.com/simplybeautifulivingInstagram: https://instagram.com/simplybeautifulivingListen to the full episode - https://influencersradio.com/ashley-schock

Melody Warnick, author of This Is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live discusses place attachment, being neighborly, why Americans move so much, and what it takes to feel rooted in a town or city. If you are unhappy in your current city or thinking of a new place to live, this episode will help you with the psychology of “the geographic cure”--the idea that a new place will change your life and make you a happier person or improve your status, and give you things to think about when considering how to get involved and fall in love with your community so it will feel more like the place where you belong.   Show Notes - http://dareeallen.com/where-you-belong

Today’s Mindful Expat Guest is Naomi Hattaway! Naomi is from the United States (originally from Nebraska). She and her husband have 3 children, and together they have lived in New Delhi, India, Singapore, and they've now repatriated back to the US -- first to Florida, then to Northern Virginia, and now to Columbus, Ohio. Naomi is the founder of 8th & Home, a real estate and relocation company, where she specializes not only in helping families with the practical details of relocating, but also helps them find and build a true sense of community – where they can really thrive – in their new homes. Naomi is also the founder of an amazing movement called, “I am a Triangle” (which was the helpful resource that Amel Derragui shared with us back in episode 6!). In 2013, Naomi wrote a blog post, entitled, “I am a Triangle and Other Tips for Repatriation,” where she wrote about her experience of living abroad and repatriating, using the shape of a triangle as a metaphor for her experience – saying that when we come from a country of squares and then we move to a country of circles, each of these experiences and cultures impacts us so that we eventually become a triangle – someone who may not completely fit in in either country. This article quickly went viral because it resonated with so many people, and Naomi has since build a community of fellow Triangles – people who may not feel as if they truly fit in either their passport countries or their host countries, but who find their sense of community and belonging with fellow Triangles. What you’ll learn in this episode: • About Naomi's journey of living abroad and repatriating back to the US -- and about some of the unique challenges of repatriation. • How the "I am a Triangle" movement came to be and the wonderful benefits of connecting with fellow Triangles. • How focusing on how we can be of service to a new community (rather than focusing on what the community can offer us) might offer a path to belonging in our new homes. • The importance of vulnerability in allowing us to make authentic, meaningful connections. • The importance of finding the right balance of in-person vs. online connections (which may be different for each person!). Resources mentioned in this episode: • We discussed the I Am a Triangle Facebook Group, which grew out of Naomi's original blog post that went viral. As Naomi mentioned, this is a closed Facebook group and there's a bit of an application process, but please don't less this intimidate you -- if you want to be a part of this amazing community, just request to join, and the group admins will add you. • As Naomi also mentioned, she's working on a new platform for the group, that will eventually be at www.iamatriangle.com (coming soon!).  • Naomi also mentioned the TriCONNECT Groups, which are local chapters of global I Am a Triangle community that actually meet up in person. To learn more about these local groups and to find out if there is a TriCONNECT Group in your area, join the main Facebook group and post a question to the group (or check out the "Files" tab for more information). And if there isn't already one in your area, maybe you'd like to volunteer to start one yourself!  • Naomi mentioned concept of Ubuntu and the peace activist Leymah Gbowee, who was the source of the powerful inspirational quote Naomi shared with us -- "I am who I am because of who we all are." • Naomi mentioned the "Buddy Bench" that was developed at her kids' former elementary school (such a cool idea!). • We also mentioned some of Brené Brown's work on the power of vulnerability. To learn more about some of her books, please visit this section of resources. • We also discussed a cartoon video that has been made from one of Brené Brown's speeches about the difference between empathy and sympathy (we made references to jumping into a hole and eating a sandwich with the bear -- to understand what we're talking about, check out the video here). • Naomi also mentioned a resource called Future Me, where you can write emails to your future self. • That made me go off on a tangent about the Seinfeld episode about Night Jerry and Morning Jerry -- and this idea of having compassion for our future selves. (And here's a great article from the Atlantic on this exact subject.) • Naomi mentioned the book, This Is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live, by Melody Warnick, as a wonderful resource. • Finally, Naomi also recommended the Families in Global Transitions (FIGT) organization as a helpful resource -- this is the conference that we both attended in late March and that I mentioned last week (in episode 9).  More about Naomi and how to follow up with her: To learn more about Naomi, you can visit her website at www.naomihattaway.com (which is also where you can find her blog). You can also follow Naomi on Instagram at therelocationexpert or on Facebook at NaomiHattawayDotCom.

Melody Warnick, author of “This is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live” discusses finding the right place to call home. Stephen Bahr, BYU, on how inmates adjust to returning home.

Melody Warnick, freelance journalist and author of This is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live, wrote the book on falling in love with where you live. Moving is something that Melody has ample firsthand experience with. She's moved from Ames, Iowa to St. George, UT to Silver Spring, MD to Austin, TX to her current (and hopefully more permanent) home, Blacksburg, VA. As she planned her last trek with her husband and two children, she began thinking that she might be addicted to moving. A curious journalist, she began researching, and discovered that 12% of Americans move each year and the average American can expect to move 11.7 times throughout their life. All of this shifting has resulted in 28% of us not knowing our neighbors by name. Melanie's research led to her the concept of "placemaking," the practice of making your community more livable. In our discussion, Melanie shares some of the placemaking projects she's pursued since moving to Blacksburg. Some of these involved her children, some she's done herself, and some with others in the community. The result is that she became comfortable in her new environment much more quickly than she ever has in the past, she knows her neighbors and many others in the community, she's learned a great deal about her town, and at least one of her projects has been adopted by others...a sure sign of success! And, when her husband recognized that his job with Virginia Tech was not a long-term fit, rather than deciding to move, he sought out, and found, a more desirable job close by. Melody's family is now looking for a house to purchase in the Virginia Tech area! Listen to our discussion to learn about: The process of moving and how to put down roots more quickly Mindfulness and appreciating the things around you Writing her first book, This is Where You Belong Place attachment, bonding with the place that you live How to be happy where you are Having control of where you live Calling it quits in a town before you really try to make it a home - a very bad habit! Bringing your baggage with you when you move “Love where you live” experiments including putting up signs without permission, creating a chalk event, walking rather than taking the car. Placemaker Meg Daly and her idea that resulted in the creation of the 10 mile Miami Underline Choosing to get involved in building your city The more you love your town, the more it loves you back Melody's 11 "Love Where You Live Principles" including: Our towns are what we think they are When you invest, you feel invested Every town is good at something. Do what your town is good at.   Quotes from Melody: “You may not have ultimate control over where you live or how long you’re there, but you can put down roots while you’re there and really love it and find joy.” “As Americans we have a problem with restlessness.” “Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.” “I think there’s a true movement toward average citizens doing ground up things in their town to make cool things happen….Average people, residents want to get involved. They want to have a hand in shaping where they live.” “That’s what happens when you invest in your town. You certainly feel that sense of community and that sense of pride because you, perhaps created something that wasn’t there before.”     Contact Melody: melodywarnick.com Twitter: @melodywarnick Linkedin: Melody Warnick   Send Lisa an email: Lisa@EverBetterU.com

One of the most important relationships in your life is with where you live. If you’re like many of us, you’ve had to move at least once in your life whether to go off to college, job transfer, marriage, or even just moving to a house a mile away – you’ve still gone through a stressful experience. Moving is #3 on the top 5 stressful life events list. So how do you connect with a new location? How do you yourself, of how do you help your children, get that This is where you belong feeling?  

How can you learn to love the place you live, even if you don’t feel it's the place of your dreams, or the most ideal location? My guest today spent a year researching the burgeoning science of what's called "place attachment" in order to answer that question. Her name is Melody Warnick and she’s the author of This Is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live. On the show Melody and I discuss what “place attachment” is and what you can do to have more of it for the place you live. This is a great podcast filled with some extremely actionable advice.

On this episode, we journey into the psychology of moving from place to place and searching for the perfect town or city to settle down in -- if there is such a thing. Sometimes it comes with finding creative ways to build a relationship with your locale -- a conversation with huge insights not only for residents of any town but for local government as well. Our guest is Melody Warnick, author of a new book, "This is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live." You can listen to the episode over and over again and still find new things to take away.
