A word from God is powerful. It can sustain. It can direct. It can encourage or give freedom. And, thankfully, we know that God speaks to us in many ways - and continues to do so, even to today. But, as we look across the landscape, it seems like so many Christian leaders say they're sharing what God has shown them, yet disagree amongst themselves, as though God might be unsure what He's saying. And we know that God is not a God of confusion. We know it's important to hear from God. But how can we know that it's really God's voice? As we continue the conversation we started with Terance Clark in the last episode, you'll discover  Why it seems like there's so much contradiction. What's often missing in our spiritual disciplines. Whose point of view really matters. Some ways God can enlighten us to how we're seeing things incorrectly. What happens when we get ahead of what God's revealed to us. What might need to happen as we begin to hear from God. What is often the source of self-promotion (hint: self-promotion isn't a problem, it's a symptom). How God gives us rest.

Most cliches about life and the human experience carry a significant portion of truth; we tend to ignore them because they're pretty obvious, but they can also be helpful. Like when our life is in danger, we see how trivial are the rest of our worries. Getting into that level of introspection is only possible when we stop for a moment to reflect and analyze our lives, our priorities, our goals, and dreams. In this episode, after welcoming a healthy new baby girl into my family, I caught myself on one of those cliche thoughts, what is essential in my life? I've concluded that all of us need time for a pause. We need time to stop for a minute and think about our personal WHY and if it is worthy of our time and sacrifice. Following Peter Drucker's advice, we must follow effective action with quiet reflection. And from that quiet reflection, after we reassessed our direction, the following action will be even more effective. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Finding immense gratitude after every new child in the family (1:48)The moments we stop to think about what is essential in life (2:13)Asking ourselves what we care about (4:02)What occupies our thoughts leads our actions (4:21)Asking ourselves if our personal WHY is worth fighting for (4:45)Resources:"Follow effective action with quiet reflection.

Happy Day, Friend! On this week’s podcast episode I’m talking about toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is a form of communication that can invalidate the complexity of our emotional terrain. As I discuss in this episode, it’s the tendency to invalidate difficult emotions such as anger, fear, frustration, sadness, and grief. I wanted to spend some time on this topic because while I’m a big advocate of having a positive growth mindset and feel the research is clear that it’s important to our overall success, it’s not at the expense of naming, managing, and processing difficult emotions. We must have the skillset to cultivate a positive mindset and outlook, and walk through difficult emotions and challenges if we desire to reach our goals, have healthy relationships, and experience authentic joy in our lives. It’s key to building resilience, and whole success. In this episode I define what toxic positivity is, how to recognize it in our communication and others’ communication, and I’m sharing some pro-active tips to transform any toxic positivity communication tendencies into a style that honors the complexity of our emotional landscape, thus contributing to our overall success and well-being. When we honor the complexity of our emotional landscape and lean into difficult emotions, we create more opportunity and possibility for connection and creativity in our lives. ReferencesI referenced the work of Susan David, Ph.D. and her book Emotional Agility, and for more information you can click here. I also referenced the TEDx Youth talk by Abria Joseph about Removing Negative Self-Talk, and for more information about that talk you can click here. If you’re interested in my book, Today’s Gonna Be Awesomesauce, that I referenced as well, click here, or see the links below.

I'm your host, Crystal Fincher. On this show, we talk to political hacks and policy wonks to gather insight into the local politics and policy through the lens of those doing the work and provide behind the scenes perspectives on politics in our state. Full transcripts and resources referenced in the show are always available at officialhacksandwonks.com and in our episode notes.   Today, I'm happy to announce that Marcy Bowers is our guest. She's the Director of the Poverty Action Network, and we are thrilled to have her with us today. I guess I would just start off by asking, what does the Statewide Poverty Action Network do and what brought you to the organization?   Marcy Bowers (01:07): Well, hi. Thank you so much for having me today. It is always a pleasure to talk to you and to be here. Poverty Action is an organizing and advocacy organization. We believe that organizing is a key component to doing advocacy work and policy change work. We work with people with low incomes from around the state, we hear from them about what policies we should change, and then we work with them to share their stories and to change those policies. And that is at the state level.   And I got into this work, it goes back a long time. I grew up with a single mom. She had to make all sorts of creative choices when I was a kid about how we were going to afford some of the basic food items, and it really stuck with me about - you really can't have real justice and you can't address a number of sociological problems if you are not addressing poverty as a key part of that challenge. And so I feel really lucky that I get paid to do organizing on something I might do as a volunteer without it.   Crystal Fincher (02:16): This is so critically important right now. This is on a lot of people's minds, even more now because of the pandemic and how much this is stressing people's finances. More people than ever are out of work. It's a very challenging time for people health-wise - lots of people don't have insurance and they're trying to navigate through that. That is a very oftentimes cost prohibitive and can put people in financial jeopardy, just dealing with that system. And the housing prices are through the roof. The minimum wage has not kept up with inflation. And so everything has gotten more expensive. People are not getting paid enough to keep up with it. This is a really big problem. I guess when you're looking at the state of things right now in Washington, where are we and what can help?   Marcy Bowers (03:14): That's a big question, but I think you are absolutely right, that it is harder and harder for people to meet their basic needs to make ends meet. We travel around the state hosting listening sessions - of course this year they've been on Zoom, to hear what people have to say. And probably the number one and number two things that we hear are, we don't have enough money and the costs are going up. So it's a big economic observation that people make, but it's something that people who are living with this reality day-to-day will also tell you are their top two concerns across the board.   I think one thing that is always interesting when you kind of look at these big picture things is that often the big economic picture masks some of the deeper disparities, whether that's looking at our economic numbers, excuse me, as a state by race, whether that's looking at the numbers of people who are living in deep poverty. Those numbers have all gotten worse. Even before the pandemic, those numbers were moving in the wrong direction. More people were living in deep poverty. The disparities for black and indigenous women in particular were going up. And those were trending in the wrong direction. And I would say that the pandemic really has done two things there. One, it's made those things worse. Amazon stakeholders and shareholders are doing great right now because everybody also turned to online shopping, but that hasn't changed in most low-income communities and communities of color.   The other thing I think that the pandemic did was put a spotlight on the disparities that we had before. I think for people who are falling on hard times for maybe the first time in their life, they had the opportunity to say gosh, maybe I do need to rely on some forms of assistance every once in a while. Maybe there is a role for government to play in some of this. Maybe we don't have to assume that businesses will fix all of this and the private sector will fix all of this.   I absolutely agree with you that we are in really difficult, hard times economically for a lot of people, and there's a lot to be sad and disappointed and frustrated about. And I think there are glimmers and moments of hope to look for around how people's perspective on this is changing. Obviously the pandemic does not care whether you are wealthy or not, as it's attempting to infect your body.   Crystal Fincher (05:58): Right. And it doesn't care if you're wealthy or not, or if your neighbors are. And the pandemic has definitely reinforced to a lot of people that we're all connected in ways that maybe we didn't appreciate enough before, and both the health and economic wellbeing of our neighbors impacts our lives too. And the better we're all doing, the better we all do. You talk about some glimmers of hope. Right now we are at the beginning of the state legislative session and, as you alluded to, people who are extremely well off, the uber rich have actually gotten richer during this pandemic. And it's also made people at the bottom struggle even more. The issue of income inequality and the difference in what we're asking, the burden that we're asking the extremely rich people to bear versus poor people, couldn't be more different. And there are some proposals to address this in the legislature. What can help?   Marcy Bowers (07:07): I think so my first glimmer of hope, and I appreciate that you just serve that up to me on a T, is I do think the proposal to tax capital gains and to use some of that to fund a Working Families Tax Credit or a state version of the federal Earned Income Tax Credit, I think that's getting more traction than it's ever had before. I think it is being talked about fairly seriously now. I think there are more votes than we've seen. I will tell you sort of on an organizational, personal note, we worked really hard on getting the bill introduced to reform - reform's not the right word. You can edit me out later. To update and modernize the Working Families Tax Credit and make it more inclusive. That bill was introduced on Monday and by Tuesday we had 46 sponsors in the House on that bill. That is almost 50% of the State House signing on to create and fund and modernize an Earned Income Tax Credit. And that also makes it eligible to ITIN filers, who are often, but not always, immigrant tax filers. A little known other community of people who often use ITIN filers are domestic violence and intimate partner violence survivors. For confidentiality, they use a number that's different than their Social Security number when filing. And so that would be opening up the tax credit to them, but then also making it more available to the people at the lowest income levels in our state.   That is a big glimmer of hope to me. That's a ray of hope, maybe more than even a glimmer, but that has so much traction and so much excitement. And the governor has been talking about it, which is also really exciting.   Crystal Fincher (08:55): That is very exciting. And I'm really happy to hear that it does include a lot of immigrant communities that are so often excluded from safety nets and help, which doesn't make much sense overall when we look at the impact that that has on our communities and the benefit that it would offer our communities to take care of people who are such a critical and instrumental part of our community. They've been left out of previous COVID relief and so much, so that is very welcome news to hear that they aren't being left behind this time.   And other communities, like you talked about, the intimate partner violence, people who've experienced that. Oftentimes there are several groups who are overlooked, and so kudos for making sure that you're bringing everyone along, which of course an organization like yours should be doing, but sometimes it doesn't happen that way. So, that's great.   What exactly would this do? If someone is in a position to receive this, what could they expect?   Marcy Bowers (10:07): The short version of the story is they can expect some cash. So the way we have modeled it is starting at the very lowest income scales, you get the full benefit, which would be - around $500 would be the benefit, and then it scales up a little bit more with kids. And one of the things, in addition to it just being cash that people can spend however they want and need to meet the needs that they have in their families, is that there's not hoops to jump through to get it. I am a big believer in our state's safety net programs. I think it is absolutely crucial to do that, and I am troubled by how many hoops people have to jump through to just get basic assistance. And I think one of the amazing things about something like this is it's a little bit like a stimulus check, or we're calling it a recovery rebate, where you just get it. You don't have to jump through hoops. You don't have to spend a bunch of time proving your hardship. You don't have to tell your trauma over and over and over again. You just get to receive cash without a bunch of strings attached to it, that you can spend on whatever you and your family need.   That, to me, is also something that gives me a lot of hope - that that conversation where we might, as a society, stop questioning the decision making abilities of people who just don't have money, but somehow they can't make a good position. That narrative needs to go. And I think this is another glimmer of hope that this is getting traction and we are beginning to see a shift in how people talk about this kind of stuff.   Crystal Fincher (11:45): I completely agree. The conversation around direct cash assistance, which is the most effective way to provide help, and, as you talked about, it has a direct stimulating effect on the economy. So much data to back that up, that if we give people who need it the most – money - they spend it on things they need in their communities. It helps all of our local businesses who are employing our other neighbors. It just makes sense.   You talk about we don't make people jump through hoops. The conversation has evolved on this and I have learned a lot over time on this. We talk about, well, what if people get it who don't deserve it or who don't need it? When we put so many barriers before people, it just makes it harder to get it to the people who really do need it and it just prevents it from helping the people who it needs to help and stimulating the economy.   If we need to claw back money, you want to do that. You can do that through taxation on the other end, but it should not slow down how we help people and the assistance that we provide. So I appreciate you driving that conversation and you driving that policy, because it is critically important and we need it now more than ever. Families need it now more than ever, and it's really time we stop enabling conversations that make it seem like being poor is some kind of moral failing, a lack of education, that they're just not worthy of having nice things, needing to prove that they deserve it somehow. People deserve to have their basic needs met and to not be insecure with housing or food or any of their other necessities. So thank you so much for doing work in that area. I'm really excited to hear that it's had such a positive reception so far.   What's the bill number and what can people do if they want to support that, or I guess, how should they contact their legislators? I assume it will be having a hearing at some point in time, so how can they help advocate for this?   Marcy Bowers (14:06): Well, the bill number is... There will be a Senate bill in the coming days, but right now the House bill number is 1297. So one, two, nine, seven, and the prime sponsor of it is Representative Thai, and I think she's done an amazing job. I think this is sort of this other piece of the conversation that would give me a glimmer of hope, and then I really will come back and answer your question about how to be involved - is that I think after the 2020 election, we also saw a new class of freshmen that is our most diverse in history. So based on our most racially diverse, more women than we've ever had before, more of a diversity of experiences, more people who have an experience with poverty and hardship. There's a previously incarcerated legislator now, there's organizers, and that is also very, very, very exciting to me as an organizer, to see people who are excited to come to the legislature and represent their history and their communities and their stories, and speak up and upset a little bit of the status quo that sort of holds things exactly where they've been.   Crystal Fincher (15:17): You're listening to Hacks & Wonks on KVRU 105.7 FM. I'm your host, Crystal Fincher. And our guest today is Marcy Bowers from the Statewide Poverty Action Network.   Marcy Bowers (15:32): As far as how to take action, there will be hearings coming up, but probably the easiest thing to share over the radio about how to take action is the legislative hotline number. And that phone number is 1(800) 562-6000. And I love the legislative hotline number because you literally call it and some actual live people answer the phone and they take your address and they ask you what you want to tell your legislators, and they literally type a message that goes directly to your legislators.   Just on a funny note, I made it my personal mission one year to have the hotline receptionist, or the folks who answered the call there, to know who I was, and so I called the legislative hotline every single day for an entire legislative session. Until finally toward the end of session, it was maybe sometime in March, I called and they said, "Legislative hotline, what's your message?" And I said, "Hi, this is Marcy." And they were like, "Hi, Marcy." I felt like I had had a big achievement.   Crystal Fincher (16:48): Oh my goodness. That makes sense. And great tip because super easy, super accessible, to call in and they will give your message to your legislator. Because sometimes it can be hard to figure out, who should I even talk to? Who are my legislators? What's going on? Another thing, as I think about it, that is a little bit different this year, that is definitely different this year, but that can make engaging with your legislators more accessible, is that because we are in this pandemic, they are having a lot of committee meetings and committee hearings via Zoom. And people can sign in and testify via Zoom from wherever they're at. So this has made it a lot more accessible and possible for people to get involved. They don't have to drive to Olympia to have a hearing.    They just started not that long ago having satellite sites but still, you had to get to a satellite site. Now you can sign on to Zoom, as so many of us have done so often, especially since the pandemic. So that's another option that's available if people are following the bill number. And you can Google it, it'll take you to the page and it'll actually just tell you when the - you can see when committee meetings and hearings are coming up, if you want more information on that or any other bills. So just ways to get more involved.   I mentioned before we started recording, speaking of the new legislators that are in, we have a very diverse class and just elected a number of black women into the legislature. I just received Representative Kirsten Harris-Talley's first legislative email update, and so that just made me feel warm and fuzzy as I was reading that, so that was a little exciting shortly before we started recording today.   I guess that goes into other questions. So we've got capital gains, we've got tax credit relief. What else is there that can help, either in the legislature or even looking at policies that could be helpful at the more local level, whether it's through cities with city councils or county councils. What are policies that we need to be implementing right now and what are policies that people can go to their elected representatives to say, this is what we are expecting you to do to help?   Marcy Bowers (19:29): I think it's a good question. It's a big question, again. You're good at the big questions. I think if I were to try and think about kind of what a theme is for this - and it is that individual families and small communities cannot do this alone. And what we need are some of the bigger institutions of our world to play a part in this. Part of why I frame it that way is that during the last recession, almost across the board, states and counties and municipalities did a ton of cost cutting and austerity measures. They gutted their budgets. And some of our priorities this year are still pieces of undoing the mess that was done during the great recession a decade ago. And so I think that if I were to try and think about thematically what is it that the state and local governments need to do, it is to recognize that now is the time for investing in our communities, for bolstering and shoring up the economic situations of our institutions and of our communities and our families. That this is not the time for sort of belt tightening and all of those other weird euphemisms we use for essentially eliminating social programming. Now is not the time for that.   I think that message is being heard. I think that's being heard at many levels at this point. And I think that it needs to be a continuous drum beat. And I think one of the key clear components, in addition to direct cash assistance, that I am probably most worried about at just about every level of government is what to do when the eviction moratoriums end. How are we going to ensure that people have some way to pay their back rent, to pay their current rent, to pay their future rent, and not have an incredibly huge spike in homelessness. That it would be not only cruel, but it would also be a public health nightmare in addition to that and on top of that.   I think cities are looking at this. I think counties are looking at this. I know the state is looking at this. Theoretically Congress is looking at this. And I think that that component of having a plan for what happens when eviction moratoriums. And when eventually when these sort of state of emergencies end, all of these measures that we have rightfully put in place during this emergency at all levels of government - at some point they're going to end - and it would be a gigantic mistake and incredibly cruel and set us back in a public health measure if we don't have a plan for what happens when the state of emergency is officially over.   Crystal Fincher (22:33): What should that plan be? I mean, is it wholesale forgiveness? There are questions related to that in terms of small landlords versus large or corporate landlords. It seems like there needs to be rent forgiveness and some mortgage relief for smaller landlords. What is the package of remedies that you're looking at to actually address this? Because you're exactly right. We're kind of kicking the can down the road - we're literally kicking the can down the road, and pressing a pause button, but we are not undoing the accumulation of debt.   As we all know, if people are having a hard time paying their bills right now, there's no way they're going to come up with oftentimes 5 or 10, a multi-thousand dollar balloon payment on top of all of their other bills. That's just not realistic. So we're going to be looking at an eviction tsunami whenever this ends. And, like you said, it would be a public health crisis. It would be a public budget crisis. As you talked about, those austerity measures are actually more expensive in the long run. It costs less to keep someone in their home than to remedy the situation once they do become homeless and experience all of the other challenges that are related to that. We do pay for that as a society. We cannot act like we don't experience consequences from allowing our neighbors to become homeless.   If we can take action to prevent that, that is the responsibility, and the lesson that we've learned from going through this before, as you mentioned. So what should be put into place in tandem with the ending of the eviction moratoriums?   Marcy Bowers (24:34): I should be clear, I'm not a housing policy expert. We've got some good friends who do that. But I do think it is probably some combination of rental assistance, some forgiveness in some settings, probably some payment plans, some additional work on building more housing, because I think that's one of the aspects that isn't talked about quite as much - is that rightfully there's fewer evictions, but that also means that the people who were homeless at the beginning of an eviction moratorium didn't actually see any turnover in the existing housing stock, so they have been having a much harder time finding a place to live.   So we still have, even with all the temporary measures, we still have this problem of a lack of affordable housing. I don't want to totally take our eye off the prize of the need, it's not even a prize, take our eye off the larger problem of needing more affordable housing overall. I suspect, not being a housing expert, that it will be a variety and a combination of things. I know our parent agency provides nonprofit housing and it was a pretty interesting budget conversation when we had no income from our very low income tenants for 8 months of a 12 month fiscal cycle. And I'm aware of that challenge across non-profit housing as well. And I don't think they should be evicted and have to pay their rent right now when there's no opportunity for work.   Crystal Fincher (26:18): Part of this conversation as a society that we have to reckon with, that, I think, our common discourse does not currently, is we have to be realistic about what the consequences are of the actions that we take. And we hear so often, there was just another very online conversation about raising the minimum wage and all of the various reactions to that going, "It's going to put everyone out of work and it's going to make a Big Mac cost $20," which is all of the conversation that we hear every time that the minimum wage is raised. And as we saw in Seattle, the sky did not fall. In fact, it helped a number of people and businesses.   As we are navigating through this, I think we need to be realistic in that, yeah, we are asking people who have $60 million to maybe have $57 million. That we're going to ask them to carry some kind of tax burden. We don't have an income tax in this state. We have the most regressive tax structure, meaning that we ask poor people to pay a much higher percentage of their income in taxes than we ask rich people, and we have a system of fees to compensate for the taxes that we are not asking from people who can so easily afford them.   We have billionaires that are here in our state, who have gotten billions of dollars richer just during the pandemic, and what we're really talking about is, should we be putting people onto the street or should we be asking people like Jeff Bezos to maybe deal with $298 billion instead of $300 billion. That's what we're talking about. And I think that we just have to continue to focus on really having the scale of the conversation and what is a consequence of asking for a tiny percentage more in taxes for people who actually can't spend the amount of money that they have in their lifetimes versus the consequences of not providing those taxes and not having any way to keep people in their homes, or keep them fed, or to have those necessities in life. That's certainly a soap box that I have hopped on before, I'll continue to hop on, but I am comfortable asking someone to scrape by with $57 million instead of $60 million, because it can benefit so many other people.   I guess as we are wrapping this up, what message would you send to people who are listening, whether they're in the position of being in need of help right now or wondering what they can do to help?   Marcy Bowers (29:17): I think my message is, in some ways, it's always the same, which is that now is the opportunity to speak up. Now is the opportunity to tell people why this is important, to speak your truth to power, to stand up. I think as the Trump administration comes to a close, I think we saw the consequences of staying silent when voices really needed to come out and say something different. And this is the time. This is our time. This is the time to come out and say, this is what we want to see, this history is unjust and it can be fixed. Policy problems and a decision to not have a capital gains tax or an income tax is what got us into this mess and changing that policy can help be part of the strategy to get us out of this mess.   It's time to stand up and say something and to not be afraid that your voice doesn't matter. I've heard often over the years, "Well, I don't know. I'm just one person. Does it really matter?" And it really does. Legislators hear a whole lot of facts and figures, they get a lot of statistics, they get a lot of dollar amounts, but what they don't necessarily get a lot of are people telling them why a change is needed and how it would impact them. Whether that's calling the hotline number, whether that's signing up to testify via the legislative website. Even if it's not, even if you're not ready to testify, you can still sign up and say, I'm pro this bill, or I'm con this bad bill. You don't have to be ready necessarily to speak up. You can just be ready to put your name out there, excuse me, and say you support something. But now's the time.   Crystal Fincher (30:58): Well said. Very well said. Thank you so much for joining us today. We will include in our show notes, as we do all the time, a full text transcript of the show in addition to the audio, and we will include links to both the information about the bills that we talked about and information on how you can sign up to testify or just to signal that you are for or against a particular bill. So make sure to make your voice heard, the legislature is considering these issues right now, and it really does matter if they hear from you or not. That does make a difference. Thank you so much, and we'll talk to you next time.   Marcy Bowers (31:43): Thank you so much.

Can you feel the energy shift?  With a new government and Black History Month upon us, it feels like the narrative is finally moving forward from the painful push and pull we collectively endured last year. A new door has opened and the light is radiating through. No one understands this energy more than this week’s guest, actress, and my personal beloved family member Ashleigh Morghan, who was at the front-line of the BLM uprising last year here in Los Angeles.  Outside of activism, Ashleigh has been ambitiously rising up the ranks, with recent roles in Head Count, Snowfall, The Land, and more exciting projects in the pipeline. It’s a monumental accomplishment for a girl who left Ohio for LA with nothing but ‘ a penny and a dream.’ I’m so proud of her! We reflect on the impact of last year’s race reckoning, the importance of communal bonds to stimulate societal and personal shifts, and why having audacity is the secret sauce to manifesting success in your life.  Learn more about Kelsey at http://kelseyjpatel.com (http://kelseyjpatel.com)  Resources: Follow https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmorghan/?hl=en (@ashleighmorghan) See https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6447257/ (Ashleigh’s Acting Portfolio) Read: https://www.amazon.com/Artists-Way-Spiritual-Higher-Creativity/dp/1585421472 (¨The Artist’s Way¨) by Julia Cameron Follow Kelsey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelseyjpatel/?hl=en (@kelseyjpatel) | https://www.instagram.com/magikvibes/ (@magikvibes) Download: https://www.kelseyjpatel.com/purejoy (The Pure Joy App ) Read: http://kelseyjpatel.com/book (“Burning Bright”) Sign up for our newsletter on https://slack-redir.net/link?url=http%3A%2F%2Fkelseyjpatel.com (kelseyjpatel.com) Follow Kelsey on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelseyjpatel/ (facebook.com/kelseyjpatel) Magik Vibes is a production of http://crate.media (Crate Media)

This month we are going to be chatting a lot about reading, how to read more, and WHY we would want to read more. Today I'm giving some reasons for investing in reading and some tips for reading more...no matter what that means for YOU! Listen in! Listen to the Podcast: You can find the notes for this episode down below. And don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes.  Right click here and save-as to download this episode to your computer. Why I read and invest in reading: As a Christian, I think it's important to be learning and growing. As a mother, I want to model to my kids what it means to be a life long learner. And reading is very relaxing to me. It fills up my cup so that I can in turn fill up the cups around me. So when considering reading more, keep those in mind! But also keep in mind that we all derive different levels of enjoyment out of reading. For me, it's ALSO my entertainment and what Jason and I choose for leisure. You might not enjoy it that much, and that's okay! Reading will mean different things to each of us. If you don't think you enjoy reading that much, I do encourage you to try some new types of books and see if you don't fall in love. Try new genres, try audiobooks, or different times of day for reading. When setting a goal can help: It can help incentivize you to pick up books. It helps develop a routine. When we do 2 books a week, it naturally helps us pace those. It can help you choose things OVER television or social media. Which is almost always the right thing ;) It helps me FINISH books. Which has greatly paid off because some of my most impactful reading moments have been in the last chapter or so.

But what if we stopped doing that and started following our hearts instead? In this episode I share a series of questions you can ask yourself and use as journal prompts to help you work through this tricky dilemma. I also give you some tangible tips for making listening to your heart and your gut a little bit easier.  Don't forget to screenshot today's episode, share it on your Instagram stories, and tag me!

People need to re-learn how to connect with Mother Earth. Where to Get Positive Energy in Today’s Society Things that are closer to the Earth are going to have better energy.

Listen to the full episode to hear Dawn's advice on how you can practice positivity amid today's hardships and protect yourself from negative energy! 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode [17:08] “The truth is the moon goes light and the moon goes dark. We have days, we have nights, we have good and we have bad . And those things have to balance.” [31:15] “And I think food is an ultimate connector as human beings. It doesn't matter what you believe, who you're voting for, what town you live in, what color of your skin, what your sexual orientation is — we all eat.” [31:57] “I think if the pandemic has taught a lot of us one thing, it is that being home, and slowing down, and connecting with these simple processes of eating, and cooking together, and cooking for our loved ones, and cooking for ourselves. Maybe it's reminded us that these are important things and they aren't things to just rush through.” [44:32] “I always know that I have been put exactly where I'm supposed to be at the exact right moment I'm supposed to be — good or bad.” [46:23] “The universe makes me feel like it always has my back. I always feel like I'm in this hammock, sometimes it swings one way or the other, but I'm always supported by it.” About Dawn Dawn Aurora Hunt is the owner and CEO of Cucina Aurora. She's been teaching and writing about kitchen and spiritual nutrition since 2010. Her latest book, A Kitchen Witch's Guide to Recipes for Love & Romance: Loving You * Attracting Love * Rekindling the Flames, is out now.

Nik Wallenda is a seventh-generation member of the legendary Wallenda family. Known worldwide for his incredible feats upon the high wire and beyond, Nik is the holder of eleven Guinness World Records, among which are the highest four-level eight-person pyramid on the wire, the highest and longest bicycle ride on a wire, and hanging from a helicopter by his teeth. Nik’s career began at the age of two, as he learned to walk the wire while holding his mother’s hand, leading from there to record-breaking performances across the United States and around the world. In 2012, Nik fulfilled his lifelong dream to become the only person to walk directly over the precipice of Niagara Falls, which was broadcast live by ABC. In 2013, he became the first person to walk a wire across the Grand Canyon, an epic event aired live by the Discovery Channel in 178 countries, breaking network rating and social media records in the process. The next Discovery special took place in Chicago, where he walked blindfolded between two skyscrapers in November of 2014. In June of 2019, accompanied by his sister Lijana Wallenda, Nik took it to yet another level, becoming the first person to walk over New York City’s Times Square, an event that was carried live on ABC. Nik’s motto is “never give up”, and he carries this positive message with him in every walk with the purpose of “inspiring people around the world to follow their dreams.”  On this Episode: Nik gives a historical background to his family line and their life in acrobatic high wire acts. Nik shares the blessing and the curse of the pressures that come with a family legacy like his. Travis and Nik discuss the true passion Nik had for performing and how he faced the challenges of going 10 steps forward and 13 steps back. Hear Nik talk about his decision making process and why he enjoys the challenge of “impossible.” Nik talks about the importance of the relationships that have helped his family’s career. Key Takeaways: Your performance should not be about impressing people but rather inspiring people. We are in control of where we allow our mind to go- pluck the seeds of fear! Use negative moments in life to learn and deliver positive messages to others. Tweetable Quotes: “Life is on the wire, and everything else is just waiting.” Nik’s great-grandfather “There is something that clicks in me when someone says ‘It’s impossible’ or ‘It can’t be done’ there is something in my mind that goes ok that’s what I am doing next!” - Nik “I take something negative and counter it with something positive...I have learned that you have to practice it always!” - Nik Nik Wallenda: Order his book, Facing Fear, on his website: http://www.nikwallenda.com (www.nikwallenda.com) You can also connect with Nik there and stay up to date with all of his future events!

Rachael Robertson spent 12 months in the Antarctic, where she led the 58th Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition to Davis Station. She was the second female, (and one of the youngest) to ever lead a team at the Station. She managed a team of 18 people through the long, dark, Antarctic winter and built a resilient and highly successful team based on the foundation that ‘respect trumps harmony’. Since returning to Australia, Rachael has completed her MBA, is an international keynote speaker and has written 2 best-selling books: Leading on the Edge, based on Antarctica; and her latest book, Respect Trumps Harmony, was released in April 2020. On this Episode: Rachael tells of the defining moment in high school that opened her eyes to living life to the fullest. Rachael talks about how being the oldest influenced her leadership ability. Rachael tells Travis about college and why the opportunity in Antarctica caught her eye. Travis and Rachael talk about the process of decision making and the regrets Rachael faced in Antarctica. Rachael describes what the average day looked like in Antarctica in summer months versus the rest of the year. Rachael shares her advice on knowing yourself and keeping a journal. Rachael talks about the “no triangle” policy in Antarctica. Key Takeaways: Recruit for quality: resilience, empathy, and integrity. Have a system in place for making decisions. Learn how to reveal vulnerability even as a leader. When coming off a high in leadership or business, find a new way to challenge yourself. Tweetable Quotes: “There’s a lot of correlation between the amount of responsibility that you have and at what age you are in terms of where you end up and how quickly you get there.” - Travis “There’s not too many decisions that are forever. As long as you keep that front of mind, it gives you the courage then to have a go and make the bold decision because it’s not forever.” - Rachael “Practicing that type of radical honesty really is a learned skill.” - Travis Rachael Robertson: Rachaelrobertson.com (https://Rachaelrobertson.com) LinkedIn- Rachael Robertson Pick up a copy of her book, Respect Trumps Harmony at https://www.rachaelrobertson.com.au/author (https://www.rachaelrobertson.com.au/author) Resources: Follow along with me on Instagram- @travischappell Visit my website for more information on resources and announcements: https://travischappell.com (https://travischappell.com/) Join the Facebook group to find community: https://travischappell.com/group (https://travischappell.com/group)
