If you are a busy professional with ADHD and you have a demanding career, it is a critical mission to protect your time and energy. It is non-negotiable! Boundaries, limitations, restrictions, limits, our professional safe zone…all protect us busy ADHDers from others and ourselves. Whatever we call it, we must guard our time. Boundaries are often the make-or-break factor for adults with ADHD in leadership roles. Without them, ADHD traits like distractibility, impulsivity, and overcommitment can quickly lead to burnout, poor decision-making, and loss of credibility. If you are in a leadership position and have ADHD or think you have ADHD, join Dave as he discusses why boundaries and protecting your time and energy must be part of the way you operate. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?

The story behind this chance encounter leads to a fascinating discussion on inspiration and synchronicity. Meanwhile, Mindy and Brooke lighten things up with hilarious catnaps featuring dreams about giving birth to food, gray forest people, decade-long surgeries, and... car insurance claims.

Episode 153 | "Can you imagine getting bitch slapped by eight legs?" Welcome to another dreamy episode of REMelations! This week, Mindy kicks things off with a jaw-dropping dream submission from Abigail that takes us on a whirlwind adventure. From battling mysterious bathroom doors to facing off against mutant aliens in robot costumes, this dream packs in plenty of bizarre twists. But that's not all—there's also a detour into dessert recipes gone wild and a showdown with aggressive dogs. After diving into Abigail's fantastical dreamscape, Mindy provides her trademark thoughtful interpretation, uncovering hidden meanings behind each surreal encounter. Then, it's time for the fan-favorite Cat Nap segment, where Mindy and Brooke share rapid-fire dream snippets sent in by listeners. This time, they explore the strange (and sometimes scary) world of missed-connections in internet-land, the dangers of lighting up a cigarette on an airplane, a lurking spider under the bed, and peaceful retirement on an alien spacecraft. These mini dreams will have you laughing, cringing, and wondering what's lurking in the back of your mind when you sleep. But the chills don't stop there—Brooke wraps up the spooky season with tales of four female serial killers who, despite their notorious deeds, have remained surprisingly unknown. Delving into the dark and twisted paths of these women, Brooke shares their chilling stories, uncovering the secrets behind their sinister lives. Whether you're here for the laughs, the interpretations, or a bit of true crime, Episode 153 promises to be a thrilling ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat (and possibly double-checking under your bed).

We woke up early to join our first press junket for the Filipino movie Hello, Love, Again!  We had a quick chat with the movie's director, Cathy Garcia-Sampana.  Direk Cathy is famous in the Philippines for directing some of the biggest rom-coms out of the country. Her 2019 film Hello, Love, Goodbye swept the nation and beyond, and became the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time (at the time).  The film features two of the island's biggest stars Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards. You can watch part one on YouTube. The sequel: Hello, Love, Again, shows what has happened in the 5 years since Joy (Kathryn Bernardo) walks away from Ethan (Alden Richards). We don't know what to expect, but Direk Cathy says to put on your seatbelts and bring your tissues! It premiers in select cities on November 15th.  If it's in your town, go buy a ticket and see what finally happened to our favorite love team! Thanks to Director Cathy and her team at the MRKT Co. for setting this up. Also thanks to: ABS-CBN Studios, GMA Pictures, and Star Cinema  

Episode 152 | "You do not have to shovel rain." Ahoy, besties! In Episode 152, REMelations dives deep into a surreal seaside dream adventure as Brooke shares Leslie's submission, taking us on a tropical vacation with a twist—featuring beachside rap battles with a young pirate! But the dreamscape only gets stranger from there, with a collection of "cat naps" that range from hilarious to downright bizarre: clowns made out of meat, bites from sassy rabbits, NYC roller skating, celebrity crush drama, and tiny humans just trying to fit in. And, for true crime fans, Mindy wraps up her deep dive into the infamous Villisca Axe Murders with Part 2, sifting through an extensive (and suspicious) suspect list with Brooke as they analyze each theory and let you know who they think is the most likely culprit.

Episode 151 | "It's a continent and a country, they're very lucky." In Episode 151 of REMelations, Mindy and Brooke bring the Halloween chills with a powerful dive into Tiarnah's vivid, recurring childhood dream. What starts as a serene, sunny afternoon under a sprawling gum tree with her sister soon takes a terrifying turn. Suddenly, Tiarnah finds herself running through a full-blown war zone with her sister and mother, dodging bombs, and weaving between collapsing buildings. As Mindy unpacks the layers behind this intense and jarring scene, we might just discover what's hidden in the shadows of our childhood dreams. In the “Catnap” segment, the REMelations duo brings laughs and intrigue with a quick round of bizarre and baffling listener dreams: Tom Hanks losing a strange bet, "vomiting nature," steaks tough enough to rival rubber, eerie piano keys that play on their own, and the chaos of dreamland airports. Rounding out this Halloween special, Brooke explores some spine-tingling folklore, sharing cryptids that haunt the shadows of legend—and could just creep into your worst nightmares! It's a spooky blend of dream interpretations, eerie tales, and a few laughs, perfect for the Halloween season.

Episode 150 | "They didn't have birth control back in the 1900's. You do it, you have a baby." This week, we're celebrating a major milestone—150 episodes of REMelations! To mark the occasion and embrace the October spirit, we dive into a mix of dream interpretations, quirky catnaps, and a chilling cold case. Brooke kicks off the episode by interpreting Jake's unsettling dream of a rundown house and a spouse who ignores him. She unpacks the symbolism and emotional undertones, revealing what these dream elements might represent in Jake's waking life. In the catnap segment, we share a series of wild and bizarre dreams: finding a great deal on Prada boots, recurring dreams of feeding stray cats, binge-eating alligators, a strange visit to a superhero hospital, and a dream about a tasty and intelligent head soup. To celebrate both our 150th episode and spooky season, Mindy explores Iowa's most infamous cold case, the 1912 Villisca Axe Murders. In this deep dive, we examine the brutal, unsolved mystery that has haunted Iowa for over a century. Finally, we wrap up the episode by reflecting on our experience at the Iowa Podcast Awards, where we were thrilled to win Best Comedy Podcast. It's been an incredible journey, and we're grateful to all of our listeners for supporting us through 150 episodes.

Episode 282: Quick Chat -"Yes...and"-The Destress ToolWelcome to the LYS Podcast. Have you heard of the “Yes…and” concept? It's routed in improvisational theater, but for our purposes we are using it as a valuable approach to life. A life navigation tool.“Yes….and” does two primary things. The “Yes” creates acceptance. The “and” pulls us into the present moment - where we decide what to do next. Stay tuned for this quick chat that helps us move through hard things“Yes… and” is a building block. What is does is acknowledge the reality before you with the YES. Then the “and” is the jumping off point for what you'll do about it. How you'll build on what is.In the realm of improvisation, actors employ “Yes, and” to foster collaboration and creativity. When one actor introduces and idea or action their scene partner accepts it with a “yes and then they add on new information. The scene builds this way, one block - or one “yes, and” at a time.The alternative is to fight what is…. the first actor just introduced an embarrassing idea that I don't want to engage with. In the scene, I can't stop and demand they change their contribution, I just get to keep the momentum building and decide what to do with it, how to build my way out of it…For example - You're in an improv scene where the first actor just admits to a crowd of people that you caught an STD in a salacious way, now it's your turn to figure out how to turn this scene around. What do you do with this twist in the plot? In improv you simply have to make a choice what to do next. You can't stomp off, you can't demand they come up with something less personal, you don't stop the show….you figure out how to play out the scene.Ok. So let's apply this simple concept to real life. I have a sticky note on my desk that says “Yes, and…” in big letters. It reminds me that when something happens, when I'm struggling with something going on in my life, that sitting and wishing it was different, or letting it cause continued anxiety in me while I wallow in what is, are both completely in effective. They are the equivalent of being stuck in a mud bog. Here's the hero of the story, stuck up to her thighs in a slimy mud bog.Let's just take today: I'm recording this in July. My lawn is dying in spots and it's frustrating. I acknowledge every day that the crisp yellow grass shouldn't be there, I'm watering it. But it is. So, I can keep feeling the frustration and knowing it shouldn't be this way, day after day, or I can say Yes - this is happening, my lawn is struggling. Accept it, whether it “should” be that way or not. Now comes the “and.” What will I do differently about this thing? I will water it more, and/or I will change fertilizer. A decision has been made. I've accepted what is and I've moved on to action.Next example: I'm working with a new group of women doing the 21 LIFE Connection Challenges. We started out with almost 10 people and after the first week only 4 are checking in regularly. Now, I have a number of feelings about this. 1. I know this is how it goes. Every time. It takes a modicum of dedication to stick with the challenges and most of the time less than half of the groups make it through. Not because the challenges are terribly hard, but they lose focus, get busy, put it off. So, I know this is going to happen but I still feel bad for all the great women who are missing out on what they could have gotten out of it. 2. I feel frustration that discipline is so hard for so many. So the first thing that I need to do to stop resentment from building is to accept that it's happening and then decide how I want to deal with it. The “and” for me on this one is that I want to give all my best attention to those who stick with

Episode 149 | "Everything tastes like rotten crab to me." This week on REMelations, Mindy and Brooke take us on a wild dream journey, starting with an anonymous listener's intense dream of being chased by a mysterious figure. In a frantic escape, the dreamer finds safety in the arms of a former grad school teacher. What does this chase mean, and why does refuge come from such an unexpected source? Mindy and Brooke explore the deeper meanings behind this unsettling scenario. In the Catnap segment, we get a dose of dream hilarity with tales of an aggressive little Morkie, the joy of Wonka Bars, a child magician pulling tricks at a diner, and aliens setting up schools under a communist regime. As always, Mindy and Brooke bring their comedic take on these strange, sleep-fueled adventures. Brooke wraps up by continuing her exploration of The Dreaming, diving into the spiritual importance of dreams in Aboriginal Australian cultures, connecting dreamtime stories to wisdom and the cosmos.

Episode 148 | "There's a checklist here copper!" This week's REMelations starts with Brooke diving into a wild dream from Liz. She's casually strolling down a dim alley when suddenly, cops swarm the scene, aggressively coming at her for no clear reason. It feels like a case of mistaken identity, but why the intensity? Brooke and Mindy unpack the dream's strange vibes, trying to make sense of it all. Then it's time for Catnaps, where the dream chaos continues. We've got a séance guide dog, some bizarre superpower training with your boss, a cruise ship running aground, the memory of a really bad beer aftertaste, and—of course—pixelated demons causing trouble. Mindy and Brooke bring their usual laughs while sharing these odd dream scenarios. Mindy wraps things up with something that's always fascinated her: astronauts in space. She gets into the nitty-gritty of how astronauts sleep and get ready for bed while floating around the International Space Station. Plus, what do astronauts even dream about up there? Mindy can't help but wonder if their dreams are as out-of-this-world as their view. Catch all the laughs, weird dreams, and space facts in Episode 148 of REMelations!

Episode 280: Quick Chat - What's My Intention: Determining Your Intended Outcome SituationallyWelcome to the LYS Podcast. Let's talk about road maps! Ever wished you had a road map to help life go a little smoother?How many every-day situations do we just barge our way through? For most of us - that would be almost all of them. We head to a family party only to leave having gotten in a fight with a sibling because we got caught up in a reactive situation. We go on a walk with a friend and feel frustrated that the conversation was so focused on their bad relationship. We head into a client meeting and come out feeling like that could have gone better and we should have gotten more accomplished.It's a simple question: How could this experience have gone better if I'd clarified ahead of time what I wanted out of this interaction. Stay tuned because this tool changes everything.This simple idea today is about checking in with yourself before you head into any situation, to see what you really hope it holds for you. This is SOOO simple, but so powerful. #LIFEHACKSetting a clear intention before entering in to an interaction is a tool that shapes the dynamics of human interaction. It shapes your stress levels. It shapes what you allow to bother you and what you let slide. It shapes what you talk about and what you don't talk about. It shapes what you focus on. It shapes your energy. In summary - it provides a simple road map for you, for the interaction, guiding your thoughts, words and actions.This proactive approach fosters first - clarity for you and second, greater success in getting what you want from the situation. When you are clear with yourself, about what you want to get out of an interaction you are much more likely to get that outcome-Let me show you what I mean: I'm taking my boys skiing. If I identify before hand that my purpose with this outing is to build relationships with them, then I can clarify ahead of time that it's not about doing the hardest runs I can find, it's not about penny pinching by heading to the car at lunch to eat PB & Js. It's about relationship building. Once I know that I can forgo my own desire to hit the hardest trails, if they don't want to go on those same trails and it's not a big deal. There is no struggle on the hill and I've already decided I'm not going to go shooting off to do my own runs. I already know that it's about spending time with them and enjoying the runs they want to do. I can also choose to splurge on a lunch because they are young men who love a big juicy burger - I've identified before hand that t's not about the money, it's about the time with them. We can sit around the table and talk and enjoy ski lodge burgers. Example #2 - Before a client meeting I might identify with myself that despite a huge list of things I need to cover with my clients, that this meeting is all about helping them understand the process involved in buying a home so they are clear on what to expect. It's not about getting paperwork signed, or overwhelming them with all the dotted i's and crossed t's - even though those things are in my mind. When I stop and pin point what I really want from this meeting I can direct it, stay on point, not get discouraged that everything doesn't get done, not force too much on them. Again, this pre determination allows me to proceed smoothly and unemotionally through the process of what I want to accomplish in this interaction and let all the other factors fall away for now.One of the things I personally love about this is how much peace it brings to me in my interactions. It's a great tool to help manage emotions. Interactions with family, friends, bosses, clients, etc. can all be very complex.. I have hot buttons and money issues. I have expectations

Episode 147 | "Goes together like hot dogs and shrimp." In this episode of REMelations, Mindy kicks things off with a dream from T.S., who ditches a family lunch to go on a spontaneous date with an attractive server, only for things to go awry when he suddenly loses his hearing. Mindy and Brooke have fun interpreting what this sudden deafness could symbolize. In the Catnap segment, they dive into short, bizarre dreams, including a friendly extinction event in Canada, evil parents persuading their kids to self-harm, floating pentagram hair in pools, and Sean Hayes' hilarious fried chicken dream during open-heart surgery from the Smartless podcast. Brooke wraps up the episode by highlighting an Australian sleep program that helps Indigenous youth develop good sleep habits to combat social inequalities.

Episode 278: Quick Chat - Beginnings, Middles and EndsWelcome to the LYS Podcast. These quick chats are written around an idea that stands out to me that I want to chat with you about. Something that we can discuss in under 15 minutes that will hopefully be as interesting to you as it was to me.Todays is about how our lives are not one big story, they are made up of a bunch of smaller stories - lots of beginnings, middles, and ends. And I especially want to talk a little about the messy middles.Tune into the audio for this quick chat that I hope will give a little reprieve if you're stuck in a messy middle, some hope if you're at the end of something you didn't want to end, and maybe some excitement at what new beginnings may be around the corner.This week I read an email from Mary Alice Arthur, a story practitioner that I had on the show on episode 217 where we talked about “What is the most important story in the world.” Her email really hit home with me and I wanted to share it with you.Today we're talking about how we like to think of life as one big story, but in reality life is made up of a bunch of shorter stories - There are new beginnings, new adventures, new experiences, new starts. And there are other stories in our lives that are ending - the end of a project, the end of a job or a relationship, the death of someone or something. But the part I want to talk most about is the MESSY MIDDLE. The messy middle strikes me right now because it's such an uncomfortable place where we often don't know what is going to happen next. How will we find our way through? There is a lot of unknown.One of the ways you can tell you're in the Messy Middle, Mary Alice says, is that things don't make sense any more. What you used to do isn't working. Things feel out of control.This was comforting to me to acknowledge that confusion may be part of the process of living because I must be in the messy middle of a lot of things. Menopause is upon me and the “me” I used to know is no longer the “me” that is here. My body is weaker, my skin is less resilient, my energy and drive have abandoned me. I've been really struggling with not recognizing who I am. Really struggling. So when I read her ideas on the middle, I thought, “Oh, I'm in the messy middle. I don't know how this is going to turn out because I don't have it figured out yet. I haven't figured out hormone adjustments. I haven't come to grips with a slower self. I haven't relaxed into acceptance yet. Perhaps it's not the end of the world as I know it, it's just the messy middle.”I'm also at a loss as how to deal with my adult children who are struggling with depression and existential crisis. Nothing I do helps them. I'm at a complete loss and it's painful. I must be in the messy middle. We're looking at a variety of financial investments. The pieces aren't coming together as fast as I'd like. It's dragging on. I guess we're in the messy middle.Mary Alice asks the question: What do you do when you're in the messy middle? She suggests that sometimes the best thing to do is simply make a move. Get your hands dirty. I think this is great advice. I probably like it so much because it gives us power. I have a number of thought quotes at my desk. They say things like: “Yes…and” This saying reminds me that when something happens the best move is simply to acknowledge it and then decide the next best move.The next sticky note thought on my desk says, “Get curious about new ways of doing things.” The next one says, “Follow your intuition.”The pattern here is that all these reminders are about taking action. We won't get any where - we'll stay exactly where we are if we don't push on the gas. So push on the gas and steer as corners come up, but just sitting...

Episode 144 | "Curious George, bad monkey, put the gun down." In this gripping episode, Gracie kicks off her dream journey on a deserted island, where she and a group of islanders are relentlessly pursued by a massive, powerful flying beetle. Despite each person being granted a superpower to combat the beetle, none prove effective against its sheer size and strength. The episode then transitions to the Cat Naps segment, where Mindy and Brooke dive into a collection of listener dreams. They explore a range of peculiar scenarios including unwanted crotch flies, a terrible milkshake created by Curious George, a clairvoyant paper bag man, the excitement of a new relationship, glass dice, and ever-expanding gum. The episode wraps up with Mindy's intriguing discussion on the infamous Russian Sleep Experiment of the 1940s. Was it a myth, or did something occur that led to a government cover-up?

Episode 276: Quick Chat: The Power of "I AM" Statements - How to Shift EverythingWelcome to the LYS podcast. Today is a Quick Chat - 1 inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less. We are talking about I AM Statements and being creators. (insert applause reel)The other day I was listening to Oprah's Super Soul podcast and her interview with pastor Joel Osteen a pastor from Houston, TX that is a very popular up and coming pastor. It aired on Sept 20 2022 if you want to catch it.They were talking about how you become what you believe. And, what we believe is what we tell ourselves - so the whole show was about the power of the statement “I AM” And of course, this is the same thing as…..what story am I telling myself about myself. Today we're talking about I AM statements, stay tuned and let's reprogram any mean lingering voices.People - IT COMES DOWN TO THE SIMPLE THINGS.My son and I think about the world differently. He tries to unwind the mysteries of the universe. The other day he was incredibly excited because he found a scientific video showing how eternal life could happen scientifically. He showed it to all of us - thrilled to have found something that made sense to him, but it wasn't striking home for me. I thought about our different approaches to life. As we've discussed things over the past year, I've realized that complication drives him, but for me when I am trying to learn or comprehend or progress, I love simple. I have found that in my religion, in my way of being, in my growth patterns I love simple tools or simple concepts to focus on..For example. Instead of looking at the entire doctrinal cannon of my church and feeling frustrated that I'm not good at all of it. I love just working on love. Sometimes I'm good at it and sometimes I'm not, but I know if I get that down or even make progress on it, that it's one of the things God tells us is most important. And, love really bleeds into everything, forgiveness, healthy self-love, charity, service, etc. So there is plenty to do, but instead of living in overwhelm I work on love.So, I mention this because the “I AM” statements are such a simple way to realize how you are setting the tone for your life.It starts when you wake up in the morning. Start with gratitude - I am grateful for…..there is always something - hot water, a warm bed, health, a good friend, my dog, a great sweater, my kids…… Train yourself. Open your eyes and say thank you or I've got this, or I AM confident, I am creative, I am disciplined, I am focused.What is the difference in the start of your day if you start with: I'm fat, I'm not attractive, I'm unlucky, I'm a bad parent, I'm not enough, I'm so tired, I'm not worthy….vs. I'm grateful, I'm all over this, I'm excited to see what happens today, I'm making this a great day, I am going to have some great interactions today. I'm getting healthier everyday.For me - those two create completely different days! Completely different.Paster Joel say, “Whatever follows “I Am” will come looking for you.” - What do you think of that idea? If you get to choose what chases you down in the world - well, then I'm inspired to put some good things out there because that's what I want chasing me. Your life is how you see it - that is a fact. So talk a second and thing about what follows “I AM” for you?If you want to know where you'll be in 5 years, stop and pay attention to what follows “I AM” in your own mind….So let's talk about how we shift these….You don't have to go to the extreme when changing these. Oprah shared an example of a day she was really tired. As she...

Episode 274: Quick Chat - Every Problem is a Thought ProblemWelcome to the Love Your Story podcast. I'm your host Lori Lee and today you are here for a Quick Chat - that's one inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less.Today chat is: Every Problem is a thought problem. It's a bold statement. But a true one. And one that sets us free. One that puts us in control, most of the time.So stay tuned as we discuss how much power ACTUALLY have, and how to solve the problems.Since you are a listener of the Love Your Story podcast I'm going to make the assumption that we are on the same page on the topic of taking responsibility for the pivotal role our thoughts play in shaping our realities. Basically - our thoughts OR stories that we create in our minds create our realities - are we on the same page there? There are 7 Billion realities going on out there…Ok. With that said, I want to start out with the quote by Byron Katie. She says, “It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem.”In other words, “Every problem is a thought problem.”Let's put me in the hot seat. 2023 was a rough year for Realtors and lenders. The higher interest rates meant that for a great many of us the clients buying and selling slowed down. I primarily blamed my slow year on this situation, but here's another angle - a slower year allowed me to travel more. It gave me more time to reach out and renew and develop relationships with my data base - my past clients. Which part do I want to focus on? Was it a problem or an opportunity? Problems don't have to stay problems, they can become opportunities if we choose to shift our thoughts.In the realm of personal development and self reflection this idea invites us to scrutinize the nature of our challenges by recognizing the subjective nature of them. By understanding and claiming that situations and ideas only hold the power we allow them to hold. Another example - if I come from a family where being a part of a certain religion is tantamount to being right with God and the world, then if I step away from that religion my social construct - family, friends, and members of that congregation may collapse around me, or cause people pain. On the other hand, if there is an acceptance among those people that everyone find their own way in the world, in a way that each individual feels is best for them, then the suffering ceases to happen. Or, if respect is really important to me, as it is to most type A personalities and I am disrespected, I will/can feel a lot of resentment, anger, frustration, maybe even embarrassment about this, whereas someone for whom that is not an important thing may hardly notice it, or may not feel disrespected in a similar situation. In other words - situations are subjective. Problems are subjective.My mother used to get really upset when her family parties didn't unfold as she had expected - her expectations weren't met and she'd often cry before the night was through - she learned to let go of those expectations and go with the flow as the years went by, but this is a good example of a person creating pain for themselves and then learning how to adjust their thoughts in a way that created less pain for them.Now let's combine this with the idea that “everything happens for me, not to me.” With the combination of these two ideas a powerful shift occurs. A shift that can redefine the way we navigate life's complexities.Katie's assertion is that our thoughts about our circumstances themselves contribute more to our issues than do the circumstances themselves.This is an important thing to realize...

Episode 271: Quick Chat - Reframing Happiness with Cortney McDermottWelcome to the Love Your Story Podcast. I'm your host Lori Lee and you're here today for a Quick Chat. That's one great inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less. Today's show is about reframing happiness. Stay tuned for a quickie discussion with Corney McDermott, Author of Give Yourself Permisson, as we explore the idea of shifting the way you think about happiness so we can more easily find it. Join us in the audio program as we discuss:In the Wizard of Oz Dorthy goes on an adventure to find her way home. She heads out on this path - the Yellow Brick Road searching, along her path she has the support of the Good Witch Glenda looking out for her, she has companions who are learning along the journey also, and in the end she finds that no one else - no wizard existed who could do it for her…. I think in a way we all take this journey. We are told - no sold - all day long that we need this product, that promotion, this coach, this corner office and then we will be happy, but Cortney points out in her book - “if the something or someone isn't pointing back to yourself, then it simply won't work.” We talk about:Where do we find happy? What is this reframing happiness you speak of?In your book you say, “Aligning your ego to the divine truths in you is like a constant spontaneous enlightenment that doe snot rely on anything or anyone outside of you for its fulfillment.” Can you explain this?Happiness is an inside work.We are sold what happiness should be - what if our happiness doesn't align with what we are "supposed" to want?Most of the time we don't question this - but what happens when you equate happiness with "all the things and all the gold stars" and you still aren't happy.What if happy to me doesn't look like happy to everyone else?Externalities don't solve the problemsThe work is in your head.Accept what makes YOU happy. Even if it's different.You are okay with doing it YOUR way.Move away from what is distracting you from your own happiness.Dedicate more time to what your happiness looks like. Start small but build up your devotion to you.Focus on the self enough so you can experience the most from your relationships.Don't force things. Ease in and allow things to flow.Cortney shares a story of her own emotional youth. She shares how important it was to learn to accept her own depth of feeling.What does YOUR happiness feel like?Thanks for being with us today.

Episode 269: Quick Chat - Consciously Creating a Meaningful Life with Cortney McDermottWelcome to the Love Your Story Podcast. I'm your host Lori Lee and you're here today for a Quick Chat. That's one great inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less. Today's show is about this thing Corney calls Dimensions of Design. In a nutshell. Today's quick chat is on manifesting. Stay tuned for our quickie discussion with Corney McDermott, Author of Give Yourself Permisson, as we explore the ideas behind manifesting. Do you know how to manifest? Are you really good at it? I'm trying to understand it better, so if you're with me, tune in.Cortney and I look at:What Cortney has noticed about people not knowing what they want.This is to help people ask the right questions about what they want.Model includes distraction, delusion, demand, and design.Focus on the things you know are important to you, but that you don't have to do right now. When you focus on those things it clears out all the things that don't matter.Ask yourself this question: What are you putting off that you know you need to do?Focus on the really important things, let the less important things go and lots of time gets freed up.Designing your life by prioritizing this dimension makes time expand.We mold our lives from the inside with the decisions we make about our time.We talk about manifesting and how our attention is key to what we manifest.Allowing our attention to be fragmented slows down what we manifest.How much attention are you giving to guiding your thoughts and surroundings toward that vision?Want to get in touch with Cortney?Contact Cortney or buy her book:www.cortney mcdermott.comemail: cort@cortinc.comBook: Give Yourself PermissionAmazon Link to purchase:https://www.amazon.com/Give-Yourself-Permission-Development-Improvement/dp/B0C9SNG7NZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=O1BQ0ZKORWVG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8amufz-UuP5MoibMVqy9ytZAjysDYtrkrHH-n0pAurOWTAGFh4YdjC_sUVHwmq7ksKOgWsl2vK4J_Xyj5hT1-A.ASsOCz1Ig8IdvvM1x8vBiqKQUJPx8ieg2Nlsolw-ZYA&dib_tag=se&keywords=give+yourself+permission&qid=1704998197&sprefix=give+yourself+permission%2Caps%2C226&sr=8-1
