What More Could You Want by Alexandra Grunberg. Narrated by Marie Andrascik. Hosted by J.S. Arquin. #Fantasy #Family #Growingpains Valerie and Gillian knew their daughter Bernadette was impressionable. When Valerie would go to parent-teacher conferences, she knew that the teacher's report on Bernadette's behavior would depend entirely on which of her school friends she was idolizing that year. There was the terrible first grade, made more terrible because they did not know the phase would last less than a year, when Bernadette mimicked every adult, threw tantrums if she did not get exactly two chocolate biscuits with each meal, and would shout back at the characters on the television. But then summer vacation came, and Minnie, the other terror of the first grade, switched schools and took the bad habits she shared with Bernadette with her. AUTHOR Alexandra Grunberg is a Glasgow based author, poet, and screenwriter. Her fiction has appeared in Daily Science Fiction, Cast of Wonders, Flash Fiction Online, and more. She is the resident screenwriter for Magic Dog Productions. She is a postgraduate student in the DFA in Creative Writing programme at the University of Glasgow. Her story “Not My First Choice” was previously performed on Overcast 96.

I've been enthralled with recording from the moment I saved enough money to buy my first recording device - a cassette recorder! My Dad gave me the last $20.00 I needed, and I couldn't wait to have it in my hands. Friends and I recorded stories and plays for fun. When I'm not busy recording audiobooks, my husband and I love traveling. I'm passionate about exercising daily, including hula hooping, tap, and I scavenge the beach for seaglass. https://www.voiceofmarie.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AndrascikMarie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marieandrascik/ Please help support The Overcast.

So she explored different ways to make money. Valerie had always been intrigued by investing and decided it was the perfect time to forge ahead. She landed on Forex and partnered with several professional traders and spent over 3 years trying to figure it out. She knew she was capable but was missing something that would make her successful.

Valerie Therrien is a nurse from French Canada. When the opportunity arose for she and her family to move to the Mexican Riveria, they jumped on it. That was 7 years ago. Valerie, her husband and her two girls moved without knowing the language. When Valerie's girls quickly became fluent she realized they were staying put, she decided to put some effort into learning the language. Being able to communicate in Spanish opened up an opportunity for Valerie who missed working as a nurse. She went through the daunting task of getting a nursing license in Mexico, which took her almost 2 years, multiple trips to Mexico City and an astounding amount of paperwork. While she was waiting for the license to come through, Valerie wasted no time in getting to know her network - other doctors, nurses and allied health. She realized there was an opportunity to work as a freelance nurse in this area. She spent the time waiting handing out business cards and keeping her audience informed of her progress. By the time Valerie got her nursing license in Mexico, she already had referrals coming into her. She now practices Concierge Nursing in Mexico, provides nursing consultations and does IV Hydration. Valerie overcame obstacles that would have stopped most people including getting a license abroad in a language she didn't know in a country where she knew no one. Her can do attitude is a testament to the amazing work of nurses around the world, who just aren't willing to accept a "no" or "you can't do that".

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Are you a small agency worried your size might be holding you back? Afraid you might not have what it takes to compete with the big agencies? The more you put yourself out there, the sooner you'll realize it's not the size of your agency that makes a difference, but rather, what you bring to the table. In today's episode, we'll cover: #1 reason you should hire people smarter than you. How to turn your agency's weakness into its strength. Why agencies need to build authentic relationships. Today I sat down with Valerie Moizel, executive creative director and co-founder at The Woo, a digital marketing agency. Valerie started her agency almost 23 years ago with a little bit of naivety and a whole lot of drive. Today she's here to discuss key connections she made to make her agency successful and the number one thing her agency has done to see continued growth. #1 Reason You Should Hire People Smarter Than You There's a certain level of confidence required to start an agency. A lot of us get into the agency business because we can do something not everyone can. So it can feel kind of counterintuitive to actively seek out people who are smarter than you. But it's one of the best things you can do, especially when you are first starting out. It's important to recognize there are some things you are good at, and some things you are not. When Valerie first started out, she had a lot of drive and passion, but not a lot of experience. So her first hire was someone very established within the industry. She says it was the combination of her naiveness and fearlessness and her partner's experience that really propelled the agency forward. Surround yourself with people who are the best at what they do. How to Turn Your Agency's Weakness Into Its Strength As agency owners, we somehow got it in our heads that the bigger the team, the more successful the agency. So it's easy to feel a disadvantage as a smaller agency. But that's not always the case. Valerie says time after time, she is able to use her agency's size to their advantage. In fact, her partner would even make the pitch, "Sure, you can hear from all these big agencies, but don't you want to see what a boutique agency can do?" Even if a client didn't choose them as the agency of record, often they would still get the call to work on special projects because clients loved their passion. In most cases, smaller agencies can pivot quicker and be more flexible than the big guys. That's an advantage every client needs! Whether you're big, small, niche, or full-service, embrace what makes you special. Often what you view as your weakness, your prospects will see as a strength. Why Agencies Need to Build Authentic Relationships Curious about how Valerie named her agency? Valerie says she scoured the dictionary looking for the perfect name for her agency. When she got to the end of the book, she came across the word "woo." Woo means "to seek favor and affection." And at the end of the day, Valerie says that's what our job as marketers is. Look at the advertisements you see on TV. Think about the ones you connect with. Today, people don't want companies who beat their chests and say "look at me." They want to support brands with shared passions and values. When you look at your campaign through the lens of the customer and not through the client, that's when you're more likely to build connections. If your goal is to create an agency, the only person who can limit you is you. When you surround yourself with the right people, embrace your strengths, and build meaningful relationships, everything else will come easier. Looking for a Payroll and HR Solution for your Agency?

Valerie Liberty is the Head Chef in the Wow Division at Balsamiq, a remote-first company. As employee #2, Valerie has seen and helped cultivate a fantastic working culture and has done all of this remotely! With nearly 12 years Balsamiq, a bootstrapped startup, she emphasizes that fun in the workplace is the least-valued commodity, but the most critical. In this episode, Valerie shares how leadership thinks differently about work, how to create culture, and how to develop a work environment you truly love to work for. Key Takeaways Valerie shares a little bit about Balsamiq’s backstory and her background. Despite having offices in Bologna, Italy, Balsamiq is a remote-first company. When Valerie started at Balsamiq, it was just the three of them. It’s since grown to 30-plus employees. Through the 12 years of working at Balsamiq, Valerie was also able to create a job that she loves. This scale and growth were intentional. How do you scale yourself as a leader? How does a younger person get to the point of discovering the things they love to do vs. hate to do? Balsamiq has a very clearly-defined culture. How did they create this culture? Anna has seen a wide variety of company cultures and shares when she knows she’s entered a good one. Enthusiasm is the most undervalued emotion on the planet. If you can tap into the enthusiasm of your colleagues, they just light up and it makes the work environment so much better. How can an employee, or someone with limited power, change their company culture? Valerie has worked terrible jobs in the past. Your attitude is critical in whatever job you’re in. Set goals, set priorities, and focus. If you can find the humanity in working with one another, by looking someone in the eye, by knowing their brother, life is just better and more fun too when everyone cares about each other! What are the tell-tale signs that the job you’re about to say yes to has good company culture vs. a toxic work environment? Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, has said that he wished he started working on company culture since day one. Culture permeates everything. How you work with each other, how you communicate to customers, how you hire, etc. People are watching who gets rewarded. Trip shares his experience with Amazon’s culture. An observation from Balsamiq’s founder, Peldi Guilizzoni, was that American companies measure their success in quarters, but in Italy, they measure their success in generations. Good leaders listen more than they dictate. Valerie shares what Balsamiq did when COVID-19 hit Italy. Valerie offers two takeaways for leadership and for the employee on how they can better take ownership of their company culture. Fun at work is underrated. Larry and Anna also offer their advice on how leadership and employees can develop better culture.

Have you been distracted today? If we are intentional with our time, we can defeat distraction. Today’s guest, Valerie Tourangeau, is just like you. She was a fan of The ONE Thing for years, and then she finally implemented its powerful lessons. Now, she is able to dismiss the distractions and focus on her ONE thing, every day, because she is a time blocking master. Time Blocking is the act of scheduling time for yourself to do your most important tasks. It sounds simple, but most people struggle with committing time to themselves every day. Discussed in this episode: 1:45 - Valerie isn’t alone. A lot of people have said they read The ONE Thing and they love the book, but they never implemented the book. Why? 2:00 - 66 days can seem daunting, and finding a ONE thing in a world full of so many distractions seems like it won’t make the difference – but it really does. 2:30 - We say 66 days because, after five years of research, we discovered that it takes 66 full days to form a habit. 6:05 - Implementing The ONE Thing can expose a lot of your weaknesses. When Valerie went through the Time Blocking Mastery Course, what was one of the first weaknesses that popped up for her that really surprised her? 7:30 - The Halo Effect: When you do ONE thing, the right thing, it can end up knocking over many other things. 9:30 - Focusing on your ONE thing is more about momentum and less about being perfect. Tell us more about that. 11:30 - What are some of the biggest mistakes that people make when they first try to time block? 15:15 - What has shifted in Valerie’s life because of time blocking? 22:20 - We should be able to walk away from this episode and be able to take action and implement one simple thing that will actually give us a win in our lives. What would Valerie suggest we do? If you want to make a greater commitment to yourself, download our free 66-Day Calendar and start your own 66-Day Challenge today.

The MIRACULOUS results experienced by others: “Romantic Life And Pleasure In My Body Resurrected!” “During her call series, Valerie worked with me on a very sensitive but important body and emotional issue. She helped me unlock my sexual pleasure. After a long ago rape and a more recent physical assault it was very difficult for me to experience sexual pleasure with my partner. Valerie helped me open up and our sex life and romantic life has blossomed in equal measure. I am so grateful to Valerie for the clearing and all the pleasure and joy it has made possible. Valerie is such a gifted healer.” ~ Aja Couchois Duncan “Subconscious Past Life And Karmic Issues Released!” “I am in awe of Valerie's results on group calls. We know that when a group comes together, there are generally common issues uniting them. In the case of Valerie's group clearings, I found myself resonating with every single issue on every call. There is no way this was a coincidence. Some issues I had never heard of but I felt a great release. It was comforting to know I was probably releasing subconscious, past life or karmic issues that I would never have uncovered without the group call. If I have a recommendation, do not miss the live calls, they are powerful. Her energy is pure and clear and she is such a compassionate and funny soul. Kudos to you!!!” ~ Rym Terbeche “Pain And Discomfort Completely Eliminated!” “Valerie was able to tune in to the core cause of my uterine fibroids, and completely replace my sacral chakra with a new one. All of the pain and discomfort were completely gone by the next day.” “Ancestral Karma and life long dark cloud vanished!” “Most of my negative life experiences were a manifestation of ancestral karma. I have spent years deciphering and clearing, and I knew I had to get to the core of this ongoing issue. In less than 5 seconds, Valerie uncovered pages and pages of a familial contract as the cause. Valerie cleared this large contract with confirmation from my Higher Self that it was time. As soon as Valerie cleared the contract I felt the release of a dark cloud I've felt my entire life. I feel free and more me, the real essence of me I know and remember.” ~ Mayra Diaz, USA “Book Now Published On Amazon!!!” “In October I received an invitation from Eram to listen to a conversation and healing with Valerie around Clearing The Path to Intimacy. Before the end of the call, I knew working with Valerie would help me heal some very old wounds and ordered a package that included a private session. I listen daily to the MP3 tapes for healing Relationships with myself and others. I train Chinese Martial Arts in the morning before going to work and listen to the Clearing Ancestral Relationships which helps me break through barriers holding me back. I also listen to them anytime to clear out negative energy that has accumulated during the day. I have found listening to the tapes to be as effective as they were the first time I listened to them. Her work continues to heal some very deep wounds from my past. My book, which I had been writing for a few years, is now published on Amazon, my relationship with my children continues to evolve in healthy and mindful ways and wonderful people have been coming into my life to support all aspects of my life.” ~ William M, USA “Miraculous And Amazing In The Flow!!!” “I must say that since the very first time I bought your package and had my appt with you and you strengthened me for more clients and release concern I no longer think about lack or Worry, wonder, or even really think about whether I'm going to make enough money that month or not. I just believe it will all be there for me and the bills and it has been a great deal better. When clients call even if I have a super busy week going they usually just mysteriously happen to want the only open time frame I have left. It's miraculous and amazing!!! SOOOOO Happy to share this great news!!!! Blessings and hugs. Thank you Thank you Thank you” ~ Marcia Zuicarelli L.M.T. ~ R.M.T., USA “Feeling Energized!” “WONDERFUL session tonight for Fitness February.

You worked on him having more structure and focus. It was a very pleasant session as you managed to make him feel at ease not normal for a 20 year old man in such circumstances. He was immediately his old pleasant self again after the session. In the meantime he has a job again and is thinking about qualifying to go to university further down the road. I'm keeping my spirits high. Thank you for all your help and God bless.” ~ E. L. , Germany “Freaky Release With Sister’s Picture” “Hi, my name is Michelle and I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Valerie Pearson. She took her time, energy and love with me for one half hour that changed my life. I have many issues and one in particular where I couldn't go to the bathroom regularly. I would only have a bowel movement once every 57 days. Another one needed healing from my sister passing. The next day I passed a 3 foot bowel movement and was I ever excited. I have never had to take anything for constipation for over a year now. I also have let my sister go and she had confirmed through Valerie that it was time for me to Move on and she's OK. She said how proud she is of me and thanked me for being there for her 3 kids. When Valerie and I walked into my bedroom, the picture of my sister fell to the floor. I put the picture back on my dresser. The next day, the same thing happened, I walked into the bedroom and my sister’s picture fell onto the floor. I picked the picture up and said OK I guess you don't want to be in here, I'll put you in the spare bedroom with all the other people that have passed away and her picture never fell down after that. She is content there. I am so very grateful to Valerie and her intuitive gifts. When I need more help in my life with anything I will definitely call on Valerie. If you are reading this, I hope it gave you hope that healing is possible through the beautifully gifted Valerie Pearson.” ~ Michelle, White Rock, BC “Family Issue Resolved” “I wish to thank Valerie for her help and healing at a time when it was needed the most. I was having a very difficult time with a family member. I was receiving a minimum of 3 phone calls a day as this individual was in a very agitated state of mind. Valerie very quickly determined the cause of what was going on. In her very special way, Valerie was able to change a situation that was going out of control to one that was much calmer. Valerie gave me an understanding of what had been transpiring for years and years. This understanding gave me much peace of mind and has allowed our family to move forward in a more peaceful way. Thank you again Valerie” ~ Laura, Surrey BC “Energized Body” “After listening to Val’s clearing calls I feel completely energized. I have released weight and I feel and look 10 years younger. My skin is glowing and my body feels tingling and toned. I know I am in good hands with Valerie. It is so great to be a part of this. Love the calls.” ~ Rose M, California USA “New Lease Of Life!” “I am so pleased with the results I have gotten from working with Valerie.

I have so much energy to do the things I love to do now.” ~ Linda S, North Delta B.C “Youthfulness Reactivated!!!” “Every time I have a session with Valerie I get lighter and lighter. Not only in weight but in the way I feel. My face glows and my body feels really good. People always ask me what I am doing. Is it a new product I am using? I say it`s Valerie. Go see her if you are ready for a change.” ~ LR, Tsawwassen B.C “Colon Cancer Gone As Confirmed By Surgery Pathology” “I was first introduced to Valerie through tele summit in the Fall of 2015. I had my first session with Valerie and had profound and incredible shifts of a heart opening and clearings. In mid October I was diagnosed with colon cancer and contacted Valerie and together for several months we diligently worked on this to clear it and everything surrounding it.
