Of helping others optimize their mental spiritual and physical health. We certainly have a lot to unpack in this episode. So let's go. So.   03:45.94 noblemen Um, Shannon welcome to the show today. 03:49.24 Shannon Amos Um, thank you so much Vince I'm so happy to be here. Thank you. 03:51.26 noblemen Hey is it's certainly it it. It's certainly a pleasure to have you on the show today Shannon and so hey so for those who may not know you or all that what you do tell us a little bit about yourself. 04:09.63 Shannon Amos Ah, well again, my name is Shannon Amos I am currently living in Playa Del Carmen Mexico where I facilitate and host wellness retreats in this new life that I've created and prior to that I was a television producer. For over 20 years in the entertainment industry. 04:30.79 noblemen Wow Shannon and thanks, it's certainly a pleasure to to have you on the show with us today I know we've we've been trying to s sink this ah interview up for a little while now and you're all over the world on. Ah, you know, great and wonderful things. But um, hey it's certainly a pleasure to to finally you know, get you on the show I think the last time we had the opportunity to speak. We may have talked you know close to an hour and it was certainly a pleasure. 04:56.52 Shannon Amos Absolutely I enjoy it. Thank you. 05:01.87 noblemen So, Shannon you know I have to ask upfront what was it like before we get to anything else. What was it like as a child growing up with with prominent actors. You know, um your dad John Amos 05:05.36 Shannon Amos Um, yes. 05:19.73 noblemen Um, at home was he much like the good times character. We officially know as James Evans or what. 05:25.95 Shannon Amos Um, yeah, wasn't a stretch I will admit that his character is not far off from who he is but um, you know there's so many multiple layers to who my father is so while he embodied some of those characteristics. Um, you know that was a fictional character in real Life. He's a very much introverted man um, pretty shy loves to be in a quiet space loves nature and really a renaissance man actually both of my parents I would consider Renaissance people. 05:53.28 noblemen Um. 05:58.93 Shannon Amos Um, my mom wasn't an actor I just want to correct that my mother is an artist so she was a creative with her hands and my father being an actor. Um you know, brought that energy of creative spirit into the household. 06:00.51 noblemen Had her heart. 06:15.29 Shannon Amos And so it was amazing. Growing up because I got to be around people like Maya Angelou you know having dinner with her in my youth and not even realizing or maybe I was realizing but not to the magnitude of of who she was in the world until I really grew up and having people like Lou Gosset and Ben Vaine and um, other you know, just really prominent amazingly talented people in and out of our home growing up and being exposed to that was was amazing. 06:42.59 noblemen Yeah that's amazing. So Shannon you know you've kind of followed your dad somewhat. Um you know into television and producing and that sort of thing but there was a bit of ah of a shift as I understand around 2017 so sort of what what ultimately brought you, you know to the work you so passionately do today. 07:03.68 Shannon Amos You know it was a series of events. Um I had been producing like I said for over twenty years and I wasn't feeling as fulfilled as I thought I would you know even in the pinnacle of my career like I was I was happy and grateful for everything. But. Just wasn't feeling as fulfilled in the work and as television changed and more things were being driven by marketing and by the networks of ideas of who we are and how we're supposed to show up the more I became disenchanted and around that same time. Um. 07:23.18 noblemen Um, a number. 07:36.78 Shannon Amos My mother who had been struggling for many years from injuries sustained from a medical malpractice incident finally succumbed to them and prior to her transition while she was in the hospital. Um in the last week of her life I asked her hey mom. 07:44.29 noblemen Um, a. 07:56.12 Shannon Amos Do you have any regrets and for anything that you regret regret that you didn't do and she said you know Shannon only that I didn't get to travel and see the world and so we knew that we were going to be cremating her. We knew that she was actively transitioning at that point and so I said well what if I traveled the world and I took your ashes with me. 07:58.61 noblemen Um. 08:15.36 Shannon Amos Her eyes lit up and she smiled and she said Shannon go see the world and let the world see you? Yeah yeah. 08:21.10 noblemen Wow, that's that's amazing yes yeah and so Shannon, I understand right now you you're currently doing the work in and all the way in Mexico tell us a little bit about that. 08:34.36 Shannon Amos Yeah I took off um after my mom passed I took off and I traveled solo around south east Asia for about a year year and a half and then I ended up in I took I call it my soul sabbatical. So I just took here to to heal and and worked through the grief and I ended up. 08:39.73 noblemen And. 08:47.93 noblemen I'm gonna. 08:52.15 Shannon Amos Um, in Peru and I sat with a shaman in Peru and had my first experience with plant medicine called ayahuasca some people will not be familiar with what that is, but it's now been talked about by will smith in his book Mike Tyson 09:00.22 noblemen I know. 09:09.68 Shannon Amos Um, has recently shared his experiences as well as Chris Rock and um, so I think now that it's moving more into the the conversations around healing with psychedelics is moving now more into Mainstream consciousness and awareness and into black culture and. 09:22.85 noblemen Um, all right. 09:27.81 Shannon Amos That's what kind of brought me to Mexico I was invited by a friend and I came down to visit I fell in love with it and then I ended up connecting with a facilitator who here who was the protege of the facilitator I sat with in Peru. 09:46.18 noblemen That sound exciting. You know Shannon I feel like even now you know sort of we are all still very much on this. You know mental Marathon Globally if you will you know with with all ah you know various. Infectious diseases since the pandemic you know here in the Us. The political climate is still yet. You know, probably the most polarizing many of us known in our lifetime you know the impact of high inflation and all this mental. Cumulative effect if you will is certainly beginning to manifest you know in our culture. You know what have you personally found most challenging during these times and how are you dealing with it as well as you know, coaching others to it. 10:30.74 Shannon Amos No vice I feel like the culture that we've created American society that we've created was designed for machines not for humans and we've been living our lives like machines we're getting up. We're going to the same jobs we're doing the same thing over and over and over in repetitive motion. And you know, no wonder people are exhausted. No wonder people are tired and burned out and frustrated and feeling stuck. It's like we didn't sign up for this right? and I think that there is a serious process of needing to remember who we are and remember what we come from and where we come from. 10:59.20 noblemen Um. 11:08.93 Shannon Amos And really to tap into our sole purpose and so my work now having gone through so many changes and also reconnecting with nature reconnecting with indigenous people learning more about ancestral wisdom. And really getting educated about the different tools that are out here to support our wellbeing. That's now what I bring to my clients and bring into my retreats and even my wellness travel. 11:32.23 noblemen Um. 11:39.40 noblemen Well, that's wonderful. So Shannon I I heard you once say something that that I'd like to sort of unpack a little bit is that um you know you made a statement. How can you be a light worker. 11:44.75 Shannon Amos Each. 11:54.20 noblemen Ah, when you have yet to sit with your darkness and that kind of moved me in a way when I first heard that talk to us a little bit about that. 12:00.89 Shannon Amos Yeah, you know there is a there is I guess I repeat this a lot and I'll say it again is that healing isn't linear. It's different for each and every one of us as we are to our own thumbprint and I feel like there is a path for each and every one of us for me the path was plant medicine. The path was. You know, really getting reconnected with nature but also there were many steps in that process before I got there. You know when I first landed in Bali um I was introduced really to the practice of meditation and from there I went on to India where I studied yoga in ayurveda and. You know so there were different tools that I was gathering in that process and I think that in the current state of affairs that we find this world in with things always changing and and moving so quickly that it's really important that we slow down and when you slow down. 12:55.78 noblemen Um. 12:57.35 Shannon Amos You can really do some serious reflection and that's where we tap into that shadow part of ourselves that the the thoughts and the feelings and all the stuff that we've been consuming and pushing down in our bodies. All that generational trauma that we are holding. 13:10.11 noblemen Right? right. 13:14.32 Shannon Amos Yeah, and and until we actually do the work to to bring it up to sit with it to process it and to let it go. We can't you know we can't fully step into helping others. How do we help our families if we're not helping ourselves so it's like that. 13:29.87 noblemen Um, right right? That's that's amazing in there. So Shanna what? what would you say you know is your single you know, greatest mistake if you was to share. 13:30.46 Shannon Amos Philosophy of securing your own mask first. 13:41.91 noblemen And what did it really teach you. 13:42.55 Shannon Amos I Think that the calling had been there for me for a long time and I chose to ignore it I Chose to do what I thought was what I was supposed to do which would be successful to honor. You know my family's legacy. 13:55.47 noblemen Um. 13:59.95 noblemen Um, right. 14:01.30 Shannon Amos Make money to have a lot of things to have cars and houses and material wealth and yet with all of those things I still felt like I wasn't fulfilled and I think that was probably the biggest mistake wasn't listening to my heart's calling. 14:18.78 noblemen Wow, that's amazing there. So Sean let's just twist a little bit and talk a little bit about the company you established um and in 2019 suma right yeah a luxury travel company. 14:30.20 Shannon Amos Um, yeah, yes. 14:31.70 noblemen Tell us a little bit about that and and sort of you know what was your inspiration for starting a company. 14:34.42 Shannon Amos Absolutely you know after the year that I did backpacking across Southeast Asia I really did it in a very unconventional way I left with $700 on a one-way ticket and not because I had to I was choosing to because I wanted to see what. 14:48.28 noblemen Um. 14:51.22 Shannon Amos What it would be like to just step into flow how far could I go and I ended up being gone for over a year and traveling to 12 countries and what that taught me is that there is infinite abundance in this universe and everything that we need is really here to support us but we have to tap into it and. 14:55.18 noblemen Um. 14:59.80 noblemen Um, wow. 15:09.74 noblemen Um. 15:10.16 Shannon Amos Along my Journeys I Was you know I was healing and I was receiving all these different tools without even realizing it and by the time I came back. My life had changed in so many ways and I had changed in so many ways that I wanted people that I care about to experience that I wanted people through. 15:27.61 noblemen Um. 15:28.50 Shannon Amos Ah know what it's like to detach from all of the stuff and to have a deep cultural experience and a wellness experience and that's how Summana was born and in sanskrit Sumana means to bloom and so yeah, we just plant the seed so you can bloom. 15:38.63 noblemen Awesome! That's that's wonderful. So a I tell you I'm certainly looking forward to one of those adventures here real soon. 15:52.17 Shannon Amos Um I love that I love that we want to go to Egypt you got to join us in Egypt or Africa. Um. 15:55.78 noblemen Ah Wow. Okay, we're gonna have to carve that in the calendar like ASAP right? like right away. So what's the dates on that. 16:06.16 Shannon Amos Um, well our first Egypt trip is in January January tech through the twenty second that 1 is already full so we are gonna launch a second one but what makes it so special is that we are going to really tap into ancient Kemet and the African history of Egypt. The part of the history. We don't get and. 16:11.93 noblemen Okay. 16:20.23 noblemen Um, ah. 16:23.50 noblemen Cry. 16:25.96 Shannon Amos We have a guy on the ground there who is so powerful and amazing and is really tapped into the historical truths. So we're going to plug into that energy that frequency and get a lot of wisdom and knowledge too. 16:40.38 noblemen That's wonderful. That's wonderful I. Really yeah, you know a number of years Actually I've I've been sort of you know doing a great deal of study on as you mentioned ancient Kemet and and Timbuktu all of those things that. Perhaps um, we were we were taught to sort of not investigate or were falsehood and so we didn't explore them So I often say is when you can't get it all in the book you got to go there for yourself and see for yourself. I'm certainly looking forward to that trip. 17:15.31 Shannon Amos Absolutely absolutely and you know it's it's really interesting part of what traveling has opened up for me in that way and I've been to 53 countries now that um how much propaganda and news. You know, kind of dissuades us from going to places like even Mexico when I came to Mexico people were like. Are you going to be safe. Is it dangerous is the cartel going to be after you and now I feel safer here like we don't have mass shootings in Mexico. Ok, we're not yeah. 17:33.10 noblemen Um, dry or I all right. 17:41.60 noblemen Um, right right? right? right? Yeah, right? Yeah, so so. 17:50.58 Shannon Amos Very different. 17:53.39 noblemen What is it that individuals can look to experience. Overall you know and in a Sumana experience. 17:58.31 Shannon Amos You know what we do is we really take the time to curate an experience for each and every person that's traveling with us and so rather than travel on a Rigid itinerary. It's a very free flowing itinerary. Let's say for example. 18:11.54 noblemen Right. 18:15.11 Shannon Amos We went to Egypt and and you want to just stay in a spa and get a massage that day and maybe a few people want to go on the nile and go kayaking or maybe they want to take a walk along you know in Cairo or something. It's it's. 18:22.14 noblemen And. 18:29.63 Shannon Amos The way that we craft it is so that you can have an experience that is unique to you and you know there are activities we do as a group which are really beautiful and lovely. But. 18:35.56 noblemen Um. 18:41.20 Shannon Amos Um, it's very free flowing you you move the way you need to move at the time you need to move and that allows people to really get the rest they need which is so important but also to um, enjoy the experience and not feel rushed. 18:50.31 noblemen Um, no. 18:53.47 noblemen Right? right? So So what? what piece of Advice. You know as you mentioned is you know getting Beyond sort of the propaganda that that is oftentime associated with traveling abroad. But but what piece of advice would you give someone that's. Sort of looking to take that leap of faith as you have and then just get out and travel abroad. 19:18.85 Shannon Amos Yeah, you know, um I say just do it get out of your way get out of your fear and just do it. But some advice I could give is that if you're planning to go to a country go on on a Facebook even if you don't like Facebook to set up an account you know for this purpose and. 19:31.80 noblemen By group. 19:35.15 Shannon Amos Look for expat groups in that country. For example, when I came to Mexico I joined like 3 or 4 different expat groups on Facebook and I was able to pretty much ask for anything that I was looking for and someone would answer and um I was also able to tap into communities of expats. That we're already living here. So it was like upon arrival I already knew a few people you know that I had spoken with that. You know, ah that could give me and kind of show me the ropes and it makes life so much easier in that way to have a connection when you arrive. 20:04.74 noblemen Um. 20:10.15 noblemen So Shan I know you I know you talked on it a little bit but if you could if you could unpack it just a little bit more about, um you know something you previously said about the indigenous wisdom and plant Medicine retreats. Um. 20:20.79 Shannon Amos In him. 20:25.28 noblemen Talk talk to us a little bit ah about that a little bit more what what to expect from that experience a little bit. 20:29.19 Shannon Amos Absolutely first off I know that you know we've been colonized into believing that plant medicine is drugs when it's absolutely. 20:39.26 noblemen Um I. 20:41.80 Shannon Amos Ah, the opposite drugs are um, you know what the government you know has deemed as such one to um, it is pharmaceuticals they are synthe synthetic medications those are actual drugs what grows in nature and what is in nature. Um, has the technology and the wisdom of plants and and when we look at things like for example, Psilocybin which is the street name would be called Magic mushrooms, mushrooms or fungi and fungi have been on this planet you know for. 21:04.96 noblemen Um. 21:15.94 Shannon Amos Probably be well way before man you know they they even say that it probably comes from the stars from stardust um, it holds the wisdom, the innate wisdom and intelligence of hundreds of thousands of years and indigenous people who live in um, in nature. 21:29.60 noblemen Um, remember. 21:33.97 Shannon Amos Are very tapped into the plants the herbs the various medicines and and what they can be used for It's scientists that come in and then cultivate it and turn it into um other you know, healing modalities and not to even say that all drugs in western culture are bad because clearly there are some that cure us and help us. But they also usually come with loads of side effects. So um, what we're doing is we're working with indigenous cultures who have been studying and understanding and working with various plant medicines for generation upon generation and we're bringing people into a safe space, a comfortable space. Working alongside our indigenous partners to create and share experiences to help elevate consciousness and some of those things for example are ayahuasca and psilocybin and both help there's scientific evidence now that shows they help relieve ptsd. Um, anxiety depression ocd um, and other there's studies now around alzheimer's Parkinson's and dementia so there are very powerful healing abilities that happen with these medicines. Um. If. You're not prepared or not feeling called to um the work with Psychedelic Plant medicines there are plenty of plant medicines that don't have a psychoactive effect that are also beneficial like cacao and cacao has a molecule called the bliss molecule which is a heart opener. 22:53.34 noblemen Um, I mean. 22:58.94 noblemen Um. 23:03.50 Shannon Amos Gets the blood flowing and it's a great to combine with other Healthcare practices. You can drink it every day. Um, you know it's better for you than Coffee. It's a super ah superfood a Super fruit Um, and it has multiple beneficial you know effects. So ah in a retreat with us. You get to experience on what you choose and you know we're not here to push anybody into anything with ayahuasca or psilocybin I would say if you feel called then we're here for you to support you if you're not ready for that. We're not here to try to make you Ready. We're here to support whatever your wellness needs are. 23:35.60 noblemen Um. 23:40.93 Shannon Amos And if it's movement if it's yoga if it's meditation you want to deepen your practice. All of that is available in our retreats. 23:48.57 noblemen That's certainly amazing and but you know as you said that? So so much you know I think so much education is still needed. Um in terms of you know how do you know? treat. Different ailments from a holistic perspective especially when you know as you mentioned we've been sort of conditioned. Um by primarily big pharma. Um, that did yeah have been conditioned to to think of you know, certain drugs in a certain way. Um. 24:11.61 Shannon Amos A. 24:21.68 noblemen So who who would you say would be you know sort of the ideal person in this case for your retreats. 24:28.89 Shannon Amos I would say someone who is tired exhausted feeling stuck burned out possibly suffering from depression anxiety. Also we have a lot of folks who are seekers who are um, going through a spiritual transition or or tapping into their you know. 24:34.30 noblemen Um, are you on. 24:46.81 Shannon Amos More of their spiritual spirituality or um, those who are seeking to expand their consciousness who are ready to you know to grow and ready to step into um their full purpose. We also get people who are suffering from addiction smoking cigarettes. Um alcoholism. 25:03.21 noblemen Um, and hope. 25:05.97 Shannon Amos Ah, tobacco drugs. You know hard drugs like ah cocaine and heroin so we see a broad spectrum of people we get moms and dads we have families come in with their adult children. Um, our youngest client was 19 years old who suffered from. Clinical depression and what we're able to do and what we're seeing is that a matter of fact I've had several clients now who've come in with clinical depression. We've been able to move them off of their drugs that had horrible side effects and onto micro dosing with psilocybin. 25:37.84 noblemen Um. 25:42.77 Shannon Amos And now they're thriving and when I hear that back from my clients when I have a client that tells me for the last twelve years I've been in misery and I'm finally sleeping I'm finally experiencing happiness and joy. That's what keeps me in this work. 25:59.59 noblemen Well Shannon you know there's certainly um, a a work um particularly in in the African American and latino community to be done in this area. Um I think I think even now. 26:11.26 Shannon Amos Um, yes. 26:17.25 noblemen As as we really begin to see things manifest at at levels that we've never seen before at a much younger age. Certainly um that that um, you know I personally believe that um mental health has to take a priority in America and. 26:23.36 Shannon Amos Um, yes. 26:36.90 noblemen And and it it may be needed in a number of different ways and certainly from a holistic natural perspective. You know?

In this episode, Marisa interviews her client, friend and fellow digital nomad, Amanda Pointer, who she met over a year ago while living in Playa Del Carmen Mexico. Since then, they've also lived and traveled together in Costa Rica and Guatemala, and have potential plans to reconvene together somewhere in Africa in 2022. In this episode, Amanda shares her journey from working at a digital media ad agency, and living with a boyfriend in Colorado who didn't share her travel dreams, to ending her relationship, finding a new remote job, and launching her life as a digital nomad (she's now been traveling the world almost non-stop since 2017). In this episode, you'll also learn: Why the split from her ex ultimately freed her to follow the grandiose travel plans she had been dreaming about for years Where her desire for travel came from (it was a trip to an unexpected country when she was younger) The group travel expedition that initially inspired her to live as a digital nomad, which went out of business on the day she booked her flight to meet them (and how she didn't let this stop her from traveling) Why getting laid off from a company was actually a good thing, and why she turned down their offer to continue working there after all The first country she ever booked a solo flight to, and why, in the first hour of being in this country, she thought to herself: “If I get abducted at this moment, my mom is going to kill me!” The 3 steps she took to prepare for her first 5 month stint abroad as a digital nomad (these are great tips for you!) The travel scam she fell into while visiting Morocco How Wifi Tribe members turned from strangers to friends to family in a matter of weeks Why having an EXIT STRATEGY is Amanda's #1 rule for returning home (and how often she visits), and the culture shock she feels when returning home now The pros and cons of working as a freelancer vs. a remote employee with a salary and benefits How taking the leap to travel actually led her to landing her DREAM JOB (after being ghosted by a company she thought she wanted to work for) How to find the fine line of dedicating yourself to work while you travel vs. experiencing all the fun adventures available to you as a digital nomad What it's been like to be a coaching client and a friend of Marisa's at the same time What she loves most about being a digital nomad (it's not what she originally thought it would be) How to travel responsibly as a digital nomad, taking into consideration the cultures, people and animals that she encounters along the way The two cities she would consider settling down in (if she HAD to pick), as well as her two favorite countries to explore Her one piece of advice for someone who isn't yet living nomadically Resources mentioned: Wifitribe List of 91 jobs that digital nomads in our community do

How can we minimize the damage and discomfort of disagreements, and get better at fighting towards happiness?   In this episode we discussed:  How to set down the ground rules for disagreements with your partner? What are some key tips to keep in mind when a fight is brewing? Why being right and being happy do not go hand in hand? How to keep your cool when you don’t share someone’s opinion?

This letter is an almost UNIVERSAL HAPPINESS HACK… so I’m sending this to everyone for free. If you aren’t subscribed to this letter yet, why not?It’s $10 a month or $50 a year and I’ll send you one of these 5 days a week. Also, check out the audio version at the top, working on my radio voice ;-)Okay cool. As my loyal subscribers know, I don’t write anything that I haven’t actually tested out or that I don’t have “skin in the game on”. So here’s my travel point account balances…As you can see, MILLIONS and MILLIONS of points on both Chase and American Express. These points translate to literally hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of TRAVEL (some of the best experiences you can have in your life IMO).My wife and I have used these to travel the World for free… it’s great. Here’s a couple examplesCHARLESTON - this pink room in the hotel Bennet is probably her favorite room of all time, in any city, anywhere. This hotel was almost 1k per night but we stayed for free and flew there for free as well. Playa Del Carmen - Mexico. Stayed for 7 days AND brought two of our closest friends with us. Literally spent ZERO DOLLARS (flights were free + all inclusive was covered on points).Washington D.C. - Again, totally free, stayed at a hotel which was absolutely insane and I think 2k per night at the time of booking if we would have paid cash. Got to bring friends as well.I could go on and on. We literally have so many points travel has become this THING THAT WE DO, not a burden or a stressful expense. It’s one of the things that brings me the most joy in life. So how can YOU DO IT?It’s honestly really easy. Step 1 - start a business that you can scale using ADVERTISING.The trick is that companies like American Express and Chase Pay BONUSES for spending money on online advertising (like Facebook and Google). For instance, here’s the chase Ink, which is how I got those chase points…Earning 5 points per dollar is like stealing. American express has similar offers for their Gold and Platinum cards. Every single dollar basically produces JOY points that you can use to travel the World with your loved ones. Step 2: Did I mention making your business actually PROFITABLE so you can SCALE?I’m not sure why I put this in steps haha it doesn’t need it. The key is ignoring everyone’s “normal advice” (which is a big key to LIFE IN GENERAL by the way lol).Everyone will tell you…“oh yeah just spend a bunch of money on credit cards and you’ll rack up rewards!”WRONG. Spending more money just to earn points is DUMB DUMB DUMB. You might as well just pay for the vacation. It’s like going to Chuck E Cheese in order to buy Christmas presents by playing the games. Not smart. Chucky wins.The way to “game the system” is to have a business that is already profitable. Like…Amazon FBA An online course, or a letter like this one!Anything else where you can turn $1 of adspend into AT LEAST $1 of profit (preferably $2-3)Then, you just need to be able to SCALE it!Go from spending $100 a day on ads, to $1,000!$1,000 -> $10,000…Etc. In order to do that you have to have a great product that appeals to a broad market, so we usually recommend Amazon for most people. But, regardless, this isn’t going to turn into a “how to start an Amazon Biz” letter. I’m just throwing it out there to you that making money can beFUNREWARDING EXCITINGand FREE???When I first started a biz, I didn’t realize that it would come with FREE TRAVEL PERKS!That’s LITERALLY what I’m saying here is that you can POCKET all the CASH from your biz, and STILL travel the world for FREE!When you start to think about that…It makes it a LOT more fun to plan out and work on your business…The rewards just got that much greater, literally. Let me know if that makes sense in the comments, and SHARE THIS WITH SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!LOVE YA!Kalep.s. oh yeah, if you aren’t subscribed yet WHAT THE HECK! SUBSCRIBE NOW! OR I’LL COME FIND YOU! :) Get on the email list at thekaleletter.substack.com

Why is it that we, as women, rarely hesitate to buy something for someone we love, but when it comes to what WE want, the expense often feels too indulgent? When was the last time you just jumped in and did something you wanted to do, without first running it by someone else to ‘double check’ or ‘talk it through’?  And are you even aware of how often you seek someone else’s approval to do or have something that makes you happy? It was not too long ago that women lived without the basic human rights we enjoy today. However, the paradigm of the compliant, powerless female is still ingrained in our DNA. We may not even be aware when we ask for permission to do, feel or go for what we want. And this unconscious behavior can keep us from living our true happiness. In this episode we discussed:  RBG’s contribution to a woman’s right to happiness The roller-coaster of emotions surrounding Susan’s vow renewal plans Why allowing ourselves what we ‘want’ is difficult at times How to give ourselves the permission to have whatever we want   Resources What RBG accomplished for women’s rights: http://evernote.com/skitch   Our FREE GIFT just for you!  Get Access to You Deserve to Feel Good In Love Webinar   Stay in Touch Website  Facebook Instagram @happymarriedchicks   About Susan Susan Leahy MA CSP is a joyous creator, certified speaking professional, personal/relationship coach and a loving, powerful committed woman.

After watching “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix, our minds are blown and our eyes are open. How many times a day do you check your phone and get sucked into mindlessly scrolling? Would you consider yourself addicted to social media, text messages or email? It’s hard to imagine our lives today without the magical little multi-functional mobile devices that deliver us our instant dose of gratification. However, somewhere along the way, the balance seems to have shifted. Most of us lack the ability to relax, enjoy and simply be in the moment.  Could the same technology that has expanded our world, also be robbing us from our full potential, and from living a life that feels good?   In this episode we discussed:  How to empower our loved ones, and ourselves to login without checking out Why consciously not touching our phones could lead to greater happiness How to identify areas in our lives that could use a technology break What 3 steps you can take today to break this cycle of addiction   Resources The Social Dilemma, Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224   Our FREE GIFT just for you!  Get Access to You Deserve to Feel Good In Love Webinar   Stay in Touch Website: happymarriedchicks.com Instagram: @happymarriedchicks  Facebook    About Susan Susan Leahy MA CSP is a joyous creator, certified speaking professional, personal/relationship coach and a loving, powerful committed woman.

Triggers. We all have them. Triggers are those reasonable things that others do or say, that elicit an unreasonable, and largely uncontrollable response from us. When a trigger strikes, we are suddenly flooded with powerful negative emotions, so we yell, or scream, or lash out with hurtful words. And then to make matters worse, the normal tendency is to justify our irrational behavior with the support of our personal story. This traps us in a cycle of being a slave to our triggers and doesn’t feel good for anyone involved. How can we break this cycle for ourselves, and for the people we care about while paving the way for more happiness in our lives? In this episode we discussed:  Where triggers come from Why hysterical is historical How we continue to give our triggers more power What tools can be used to pivot towards happiness when a trigger strikes   Our FREE GIFT just for you!  Get Access to You Deserve to Feel Good In Love Webinar   Stay in Touch Website: happymarriedchicks.com Instagram: @happymarriedchicks Facebook   About Susan Susan Leahy MA CSP is a joyous creator, certified speaking professional, personal/relationship coach and a loving, powerful committed woman.

Do you hang the toilet paper OVER or UNDER, and does it bother you if your partner does it “wrong”? We all have little things that we like to see done the “right way” (ie. OUR way!) but at what point does being picky become a problem in maintaining a happy home? Often, it is not the big things that break up relationships, but rather the small, inconsequential stuff that grows and expands as we focus on it. How can we address these little annoyances about the people we love without picking on them? In this episode we discussed:  How to identify when you are being too picky. What to say to help others feel validated instead How to go from Picking to Promoting Why shifting your point of focus will make you happier!   Our FREE GIFT just for you!  Get Access to You Deserve to Feel Good In Love Webinar   Stay in Touch Website: www.happymarriedchicks.com Instagram: @happymarriedchicks Facebook   About Susan Susan Leahy MA CSP is a joyous creator, certified speaking professional, personal/relationship coach and a loving, powerful committed woman.

Picture this: Your bump into a girlfriend who is proudly driving her beautiful new car fresh off the lot... Would your response unintentionally suck the happiness out of your conversation? If you use a canned response that is MEANT to be kind, but is actually negative by interpretation, then consider yourself guilty as charged!

It is only by drawing our attention to them and learning to pivot in the moment, that we can truly begin to change the conversation and invite more positive energy into our lives.   In this episode we discussed:  Which sabotaging statements have you heard, or even used yourself?

There’s a quote that comes to mind whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed or in despair: “When you feel helpless, help someone” (said by Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi)   Altruism can be a tool to connect with others and create more purpose and meaning in our lives, even in the toughest times. But when we are in a crisis situation, it can be difficult to think beyond our own immediate needs. But by shifting out of that state we can adopt a gratitude mindset, which diminishes fear and anxiety.    I’m inspired by people who take initiative to help others in a big way. Recently I connected with Marco Franco, a holistic practitioner in Playa Del Carmen Mexico, who recently started a project to deliver free meals to more than 100 seniors here each day so that they can stay and home and have their basic needs met. Playa Del Carmen is a popular tourism destination in Mexico and the Coronavirus Pandemic has put thousands out of work. Hunger is a real threat here in Mexico as well as many other parts of the world.    In this episode we discuss:  How to find opportunities to help even if you feel helpless  How Marco saw an opportunity and quickly mobilized an entire community of volunteers and donors to help.  How to balance your personal needs with helping others.  How to help even if you can’t leave your house.  How to safeguard your own health and boost your immune system during the pandemic.  About Marco:  Marco Franco is a medical doctor who said goodbye to the western medical system, looking for answers to improve health in other modalities of medicine. He currently practices traditional Chinese medicine and other alternative therapies at his studio Santulan Garden. Before arriving in Playa del Carmen, more than 6 years ago, he taught at the medical school of the National Polytechnic Institute and other universities. He has a master's degree in occupational medicine and a diploma in administration in health services. Want to help?  Online workshop - fundraiser for Playa Cares  On Friday, April 17, Lacey McLaughlin will be hosting an online bio and resume writing workshop In lieu of buying a ticket to attend the workshop please donate to a food bank of your choice or Playa Cares. Get more information here.  Supporting Playa Cares  Playa Cares is currently accepting food donations, monetary donations and is in need of volunteers for meal delivery.

It is very rare to ever meet the person(s) who have inspired you to do what you love to do. How often does a young basketball player ever meet Michael Jordan, or a young astronaut ever meet Buzz Aldrin to say thank you? That is very rare. This year we sold our home, furniture, car, clothes, TVs and Nico’s favorite sippy cup to take our kids out of school and travel the world. We were inspired by a Facebook page called, "We are Worldschoolers" managed by Lainie Liberti and her son, Miro. She is partly responsible for helping us make the decision to travel the world and "Worldschool" our kids. We were thrilled to find out she was in Playa Del Carmen the same time we were there and reached out to her. We asked if we could have lunch with her and possibly do a podcast with her. We were ecstatic when she said yes.  Ladies and gentlemen, this is our podcast with the person who helped steer our ship.... Lainie Liberti, "We are Worldschoolers.”   https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareworldschoolers/ https://projectworldschool.com/ http://worldschoolfamilysummit.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaSWEhqmi-hnM25o9nfK1FQ https://www.instagram.com/projectworldschool/ https://www.instagram.com/worldschoolfamilysummit/
