The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days.   Today, we're tackling something sneaky but powerful—your inner narrative. You know, that running commentary in your mind that acts like it's just passing thoughts? Yeah, no. It's your brain's favorite one-act play, and it's been on repeat for years. Stuff like: "I'm just not good with money." "I always mess things up." "I'm the strong one—holding everyone together while quietly unraveling."   Those thoughts might feel familiar, but guess what? They're not facts. They're scripted lies you've rehearsed so often they feel like truth. And they're robbing you of your peace, your confidence, and your forward momentum.   But here's the part where things flip. You get to rewrite the story.   In this episode, I'm breaking down how to overhaul your inner dialogue in less than 10 minutes a day—yes. I'll walk you through the process of identifying the toxic lines, replacing them with truth, and building the kind of narrative that aligns with the life your heart wants to live.   So here's the truth: your inner story isn't set in stone. It's a living, breathing thing—and every day, you get the chance to shape it. No more repeating the lies that keep you stuck. You were made for more. More ease. More joy. More truth.   Ten minutes a day. That's all it takes to start flipping the script. And soon? You won't just rewrite your story. You'll start living it loud.

Keaver Brenai is mentoring with a mic - using her own talent and own journey to help bring up the next generation of creatives surrounding her. She's a voice-over artist, a singer, an author, and most notably, Keaver is consistently happy right where she is. And when she's not? She pivots and finds her way back or forward to that happy place we all deserve to live in. We talk about everything good from the house parties her parents through growing up to living presently, like when she sang backup for Michael Jackson and how to this day, she can still feel that moment. You've heard her voice everywhere from Blue Cross to Cartoon Network, Nike to NBC's The Good Place - now get to know the inspiring person behind it. ________________________ Steve is busy at work on the third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Zahra Karson. A psychologist, life coach, and author of Six Weeks to Happy: The Ultimate Roadmap to Retrain Your Brain for Better Health, Greater Abundance, and Long Lasting Peace and Happiness.

She emphasizes that 95% of our behavior is driven by subconscious patterns, which are survival-based and often limiting. Five Core Limiting Beliefs: These include feelings of not being good enough, not being deserving of love, or not being capable of success. These beliefs are common across all demographics, from teenagers to CEOs. Daily Routines and Stress: The conversation touches on how most people wake up stressed and reactive, rather than intentional. Zahra and Rushion discuss the importance of starting the day with purpose and calm to rewire the brain for success. Health and Happiness Connection: Chronic stress is linked to numerous health issues. Zahra advocates for mindfulness and emotional regulation as tools to improve both mental and physical health.

They're surviving on duct-taped plans and sheer grit, not thriving on purpose.   I've been there. For years, my “weekly plan” looked like a frenzied scrawl on a crumpled Target receipt written with whatever eyeliner I found in the bottom of my purse. If you've ever used a diaper coupon as your calendar, you're in the right place.   I thought the fix was more motivation. A prettier planner. Better morning routine videos. But what I really needed was less striving and more structure—something that didn't ask me to be Superwoman, just someone who leads her week with clarity.   That's why I created my weekly action plan—not to micromanage my life, but to anchor it. It gave me the space to breathe, the margin to show up for what actually matters, and the confidence to stop reacting and start leading. It's simple. It works. And friend, it might just change everything for you, too.

He's board-certified in family medicine and hospice and palliative medicine with an advocacy for better end-of-life care, a passion for hospice and symptom management through assessment and empathetic communication.

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days   Let me guess. Your eyes aren't even fully open, and your brain is already in a sprint. You've got emails dinging, texts stacking, and notifications shouting for your attention before you've even had your first sip of coffee. Welcome to survival mode. I've been there, and I know how overwhelming it can be.   We wake up and immediately start reacting—scrolling, checking, answering, spinning. And it's not just the big stuff. Somehow, that group chat about gluten-free brownies feels urgent. The world starts talking before we do, and most days, it sets the tone.   But after years of living like that—mentally fried, emotionally scattered—I realized something: the calm, grounded women I admired weren't wired differently. They were choosing differently.   They took charge of their day by setting the tone before the world had a chance to. This simple act of setting a morning intention empowered them to navigate their day with purpose and clarity.   They chose peace over panic, scripture over screens, and purpose over pings. And in that choice, they found a sense of freedom that changed everything.   Today, we're discussing a single decision that could transform the way you present yourself in every room you enter. Living in a constant state of alert was never our destiny. Let's rediscover the relief of quiet.

Christy did - and does - as a dance instructor herself, this is one of her life-long passions. She's learned that in a world dominated by digital interactions, people are actually craving face-to-face social experiences. Country line dancing classes offer a fun and welcoming environment to meet up with friends and make new friends, bond over music as we trip over our own two left feet to make complete fools out of ourselves in the funnest way possible. And as Christy will tell you, you don't even need a partner because everyone who shows up is your partner.
