Food feeds the body and nourishes the soul. It’s the way to a man’s and women’s heart and brings people together on so many levels. Food is love, it is joy and it tastes best when prepared by a chef with passion for food. “I came from a family where food was the first thing in the morning and the last thing at night before going to sleep.” – Ale Gambini  Chef Ale Gambini, aka A Queen in the Kitchen, is an LA-based Italian food ambassador, writer, award-winning host in online food programs, and cooking instructor.  Born and raised in beautiful Milan, Northern Italy, she learned how to cook and love good food from her beloved grandmother Nonna Fernanda. Chef Ale talks about changing careers mid-life, her arrival to the States from Italy and why it’s important to open the door when opportunity knocks. Chef Ale’s second book, “No Ketchup on Spaghetti” is out this month available on Amazon. This book celebrates Italy's excellent food and serves up an understanding of the ingredients, where to find them, and how to prepare them. Italian food is so much more than pizza and pasta; from regional specialties to gourmet delicacies, you'll need multiple lifetimes to try them all!

In this podcast, Lynda talks about why you need to start investing in yourself today, and the value of money invested over time. If you don't start saving today, you will probably never start. Invest in yourself and your family for a bright future. Start today!

Lynda discusses how some habits serve you well, and some habits don't serve you well. The trick is to figure out which of your daily habits are hurting you. They are your habits and no one else's, so change your habits and you can change your life!

You didn't come into this world knowing what or how to do things that make you successful. You have learned all your behaviors from other people. The question is, did you learn the best behaviors in order to succeed in life? If you are not as healthy and as wealthy and as happy as you can be, then it should be clear that you have the wrong habits. Listen to find out how to establish mental controls for yourself, in order to achieve the things you want.

In this podcast Marjorie King returns as a guest, discussing a recent mistake she made while implementing Lynda's plan for wealth creation. Lynda's belief is that you don't spend all your money paying down your debt while eating green beans and brown rice and driving a piece of junk car. That type of system is not sustainable. You need to be saving some and paying down your debt with some of the money you have allocated for your future. Watching your wealth begin to grow, and understanding the value of your money over time is an inspiring action!

Lynda discusses how to increase your wealth starting right now. There is a simple science to saving money and investing it for your future. It is not difficult when you know what to do and you practice doing it every day. The sacrifices you make today will not impact your life dramatically, but the wealth you can build by following these simple steps will greatly impact your future. It is just a question of doing the right things over time. Time is going to tick by either way, so you might as well build wealth for yourself!

In this podcast, Lynda explains why there is no reason to wait to begin saving for your future, to take steps to be healthier, to actively manage your career, or to engage in activities that will serve you. There is literally NO REASON TO WAIT! If you are waiting for a better salary to begin saving, a special event to start losing weight, or your next promotion to begin managing your career, you are never going to do any of these things. First you have to learn discipline by doing it on a small scale. Then you will be ready to do it on a large scale when the opportunity presents itself!

In this podcast, Lynda shares a lesson she learned from the zebras at the Animal Kingdom safari. The zebras stay close to the giraffes and the wildebeests. Why? Because the giraffes are the first to see predators and sound an alarm, and the wildebeest are slower than the zebras, so when it is time to outrun the predators, the zebras are at the front of the herds. Lynda explains that you need to surround yourself with the people that can help you move toward your goals, and not people are going to move you away from your goals. You are the C.E.O. or your own life, so position yourself for success!

Lynda discusses how your current habits can easily keep you stuck in the same life you have today. In order to change your life, you HAVE to change what you do every day. Small changes can have a dramatic impact on your life over time. But the first step is to evaluate which habits are no longer serving your goals, and to CHANGE THEM.

According to the USA Today, only 5.1% of the U.S. workforce is happy in their job. If you are one of the other 95%, it is time to evaluate your career path and decide if it is time to make a change. Your overall life strategy may not be served by the position you currently have. Evaluate your long term goals today, and then decide if it is time to make a change. YOU are the C.E.O. of your own life, so start acting like it!

In this podcast Lynda discusses how you can recognize real hurtles, develop a plan to overcome them, identify your resources, set specific timelines and take massive action in order to beat the odds that you think are stacked against you.

This week in Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study, I'm talking about my own personal comparison trap and how I almost let it keep me from launching this podcast and finishing my book. Here is an excerpt from the book that I read on the episode today: "Wait! Someone else has already done this. Someone else has already written the book I've dreamt of writing my entire life. Someone else has already created a movement for women everywhere to be inspired to live bigger lives, dream more, make an impact. Someone else has already, in the most brutally honest and lovingly compassionate way possible, told women to quit making their freaking excuses and live their best lives! Someone else has not only stepped into this space, but she IS this space. There's not a woman I know that doesn't know about this book, rock a Made for More hat, watch her FB lives. She has a movie for goodness sakes! She's done it: Bigger, better, and most importantly, Before me. Well, that's great! This is just about as good as that time I started doing yoga on the kid's swim mat in the lake as a means of multi-tasking while the kids played, only to find out that “Boga” has since turned into the newest and greatest thing since slice bread. I totally invented that. And, I totally had these words and this vision before she ever told me to wash my face. Oh yeah, and I was washing my face and telling others to do so first also. She beat me. While I had sat back thinking about finishing my book and launching my podcast, she had written my book. Now what? I kept watching, I kept listening, and I kept sharing. “It's not important who wrote the book anyway,” I thought. “It's just important that the message is out there, and I will fully and completely support it in any way possible! But, dang! Just think, if I would have gotten my book out first.” In Chapter 8, WHAT WILL THEY THINK, I talk about God's call being greater than anyone else's opinion.What will God think if you don't answer that call? Have you ever thought that you're more worried about other's opinions of you than you are God's? Have you been concerned that not answering his call is a form of disobedience? Would you rather keep Seventh Grade Sally Happy than the Supreme Creator of the Universe? Are you more worried about getting an invite to the annual block party than you are a seat in Heaven? Seriously, who are you listening to? Who are you in relationship with? I can promise you that when you get so laser focused on your purpose and your relationship with Jesus, you find yourself caring less and of what people think and more about the people you can reach. When you know that you are on your own unique journey of following your purpose in life, others' opinions become trivial. Do you want to make an impact? You're going to have to make waves.In the discussion over Chapter 9, GOOD GIRLS DON'T HUSTLE, I share how my hustle has been an innate characteristic and I never stopped to think about whether or not I should. I had a natural born desire to strive for greatness. I share stories from my childhood when hustling came natural, what my dad taught me about going after my dreams and hustling hard, and also how that natural drive is placed in your heart by your creator. Hustle for Jesus.Matt 10:27“What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.”

This week we are digging into the Girl Stop Apologizing Book Study that we are currently doing over on Facebook in the Power Project Community. We cover chapters 4. I'm Not Enough to Succeed5. I Can't Pursue My Dream & Still Be a Good Mom/Daughter/Employee 6. I'm Terrified of Failure This is not a regurgitation of Ms. Rachel Hollis's words but instead is my take on the chapters and how you can apply them to your life. I cover how I felt like a failure after dropping out of college and how I didn't feel qualified enough to pursue my dreams for the next fifteen years. I share how it took a good friend speaking into me for me to accept God's call and follow my purpose. When I'm feeling unequipped and unsure of what the next step looks like, I refer to Esther 4:14 "Who knows that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this. This is how I have the assurance to step out of my comfort zone and know that I can make an impact. The next scripture that I lean into is Ephesians 3:20 "Now, to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." This helps me remember that while we are not enough on our own, the power that is installed within us is enough. We are enough through Jesus. CALL TO ACTION: List your strengths. What are you good at? What makes you good at that subject? Are you a good friend? Is it your ability to listen, over advice, be compassionate? Are you a good baker? Does that mean you can follow directions and procedures or improvise when need be. Write out these characteristics of your strengths that are uniquely yours. Underneath that, write "I am Enough through Him." Tape this to your bathroom mirror, vanity, desk, car dashboard and read it aloud every day. In the next section, I talk about being a Stay at Home Mom with a desire to serve a bigger purpose. I talk about what it looked like to have the conversation with my husband and kids and bring them into the dream. When I started pursuing my dream it made my husband and kids look at me through a different lens of respect and admiration as well as made our time together more special. Then I share the story of Deborah & Jael. Have you heard of them? They were strong women in the Bible that led armies and defeated evil commanders, and they were both married. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that they were less worthy wives for following God's call on their lives. Go check that story out in Judges 4.And finally, we talk about the Fear of Failure and how we have to move past that to achieve success. After all, success lies in a silliness to fail. That is singlehandedly the most key ingredient to achieving success. If you stay paralyzed in fear, you'll never know what you were capable of. I also share how not pursuing your purpose because of fear can look like disobedience to the Lord.

In this podcast, Lynda discusses how we all had the beginning of our life story written for us by other people. But if we want to achieve our version of success, we have to take control of our story and write the middle and ending exactly how we want it to be. You can change your life by changing the things you do every day. No one else has the right to control your life. Take control and write the perfect middle and ending for your own life story!

In this episode, I'm sharing 8 ways to navigate the dream killers in our lives, you know, those people who never seem to have anything good to say about the goals you're pursuing. Here are a few of them: - Be observant - Be quiet - Celebrate your wins Now is not the time to give up. Even if support feels few and far between, know that you're not alone. In fact, I created a community for women entrepreneurs just like you. The space is especially for women whose families and friends don't fully understand why they'd leave the "safety" of a regular paycheck to pursue their dreams or start a side hustle instead of just getting a "better" job. Surrounding yourself with like-minded leaders is crucial to business success. Welcome to your support system. Want to join us? We'd be happy to have you: http://bit.ly/becomeyourownceo
