New Levels, New Devils: Are You Ready to Fight for Your Next Chapter? At any point in your life, you can grab the pen and start writing a new chapter. You are the lead character in your story, and this year doesn't have to look like the last. But here's the truth: New levels bring new devils. Every time you aim higher, challenges will meet you at the gate. The real question is—are you still hungry enough to fight for it? In this episode, I'm breaking down what it really takes to level up—not just in your goals, but in your standards, your habits, and the language you speak to yourself. You don't get your goals—you get your standards. And until you change those, you'll keep circling the same mountain, year after year. We'll talk about how to set an accelerator habit—one habit that acts like a domino, knocking down every other barrier in your life. You'll also learn the importance of being around people who challenge your comfort zone and why the voices you allow into your life will determine your results. And finally, I'll challenge you to stop letting the background actors—those people who aren't even in your life's main story—hold you back from stepping fully into your purpose. Here's what you'll take away: Why new levels always come with new devils and how to prepare for them. The critical difference between goals and standards—and which one shapes your future. How to identify your accelerator habit to create unstoppable momentum. The life-changing power of speaking your goals out loud and changing your internal narrative. Why comfort zones are your biggest enemy and how to break free from them. This isn't just about success—it's about knowing yourself on a deeper level. Because when it's all said and done, the ultimate victory is looking in the mirror and recognizing the person staring back at you. It's time to grab the pen, turn the page, and write a new chapter. Let's go!. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's snowing in Paris! Sonia C's heat is finally back on and she is feeling full of thanks. Sonia T. is working on feeling genuinely thankful for the left-brained side of her work. 'Tis the season to work on gratitude, not only for what is immediately in front of you, but what is available all around you. Gorgeous trees, beautiful architecture, and the experiences you are having right now!  It's way too easy to get stuck inside your own head – if you want to shake yourself out of a funk, take time this week to do something that you really love.    This week's theme is: To truly feel thankful, take care of you!    Trust Your Vibes Workshop: Intuition as the Key to Your Next Chapter, Live in Naples, Florida: https://bit.ly/48WYsyK   Black Friday 2024 - https://bit.ly/3Z0fCY1   Sign up for Sonia Tully's LIVE 2-day workshop in Tampa, Florida Dec 12 +13th: https://courses.soniatully.com/trustyourvibesworkshop   Highlights: With the heat back on, Sonia C. is feeling full of thanks! [1:58]  When life feels too hard, go for a walk and get grounded. [5:00]  Look around – what can you feel gratitude for? [8:25]  Even when you're feeling stuck inside your head, just show up.

Sonia T. knows that when she starts feeling resentful about filling up the water jug, it's time to stop giving everything she possibly can to her partner and start asking for some help.   You may not be able to control everything that is happening around you (especially during the holidays!) but you can control how you are treating yourself.  Take time for walks outside, give yourself permission to laugh, and dodge the drama that might be heading your way. Instead of being unhappy that you don't feel thankful, be okay that there are certain things in your life that are challenging. This holiday season, give your spirit the gift of acceptance and understanding.    Tool of the Week: Do something for yourself that you're truly thankful for.   Question of the Week: How can you encourage others to step into their own power while assisting them?    Continue on Your Journey:   Get Sonia Choquette's New Book Read Life ACCURATELY:  https://amzn.to/40JQzuv More Sonia Choquette at www.soniachoquette.com Join Sonia Choquette's Vibe Tribe Follow Sonia Choquette on Instagram Read Life Accurately: Recognize and Respond to What's Really Happening – A New Book by Sonia Choquette Order Sonia Choquette's New Book Trust Your Vibes Guided Journal True Balance book by Sonia C.   More Sonia Tully at www.soniatully.com Book a Reading with Sonia Tully  Follow Sonia Tully on Instagram Book a Discovery Call with Sonia Tully - update link to https://bit.ly/3BGktFL Free Spiritual Toolkit and Meditation   Connect with Sabrina at www.sabrinatully.com Buy Sonia and Sabrina's Book You Are Amazing   Share with us your questions and vibe stories at itsallrelatedpodcastquestions@gmail.com and vibecheck@soniatully.com

In this one-of-a-kind episode, host of the Out of the Clouds podcast, Anne V Mühlethaler, is the ‘guest,' this time being interviewed by her friend, podcast host and journalist Etain Lavelle. Anne shares in her introduction that Etain is like extended family to her. They became friends in their twenties and shared a flat on London's Gloucester Road for a few years. Etain was the best person to interview Anne for this special episode.In this conversation, Etain dives into Anne's life journey, asking about her childhood memories and her unconventional education. Anne explains how she found herself settling into a retail career at Christian Louboutin, which was then a small label, after abandoning her pursuit at a music career. She also recounts the outset of what ended up as a seventeen-year stint at the now global shoe brand. Later, Anne talks about the vision behind her coaching, consulting and storytelling practice and the genesis of her podcast Out of the Clouds, before talking about why being consistent in communication is just as essential as choosing the right platforms for a brand. The two discuss successes and lessons learned from difficulties at home during Anne's teenage years. They reflect how her past put her on the path that she is on, though, leading her to become a mindfulness meditation teacher. It's an emotional topic for Anne, who fights back tears as she reveals the intimate connection between the two. To conclude, Etain and Anne discuss language, their favourite books, how their travels have changed them, and the importance of trusting the process. A unique interview that offers a glimpse into Anne's backstory.

Preparing for marriage is a unique time in which couples often navigate a lot of important decisions together. This extends far beyond the joy (and stress) of wedding planning– you are planning a household and a life together! This could mean rearranging your finances, moving, family planning, and a lot of other potential changes for both of you. Not to mention navigating different cultural backgrounds, personalities, and families of origin. It's a lot! Couples often idealize engagement as a particularly romantic period, which it can be! With that being said, it's also a HUGE transition, so give yourself some grace.   Patricia thought it would be fun to chat with Katie about her unique engagement experience! Katie DePaola Silverman is an entrepreneur, author, speaker and mental health advocate. In 2015, she founded Inner Glow Circle, with the mission of providing alternative education for thousands of women to become certified coaches and use their lived experiences for the betterment of others.

She is a founding member of Bo's Effort, a foundation started in honor of her late brother Bo, and a board member of Building Traditions Society at Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation.   In her bestselling book, At Least You Look Good: Learning to Glow Through What You Go Through, Katie shares her most vulnerable and often funny reflections on how to deal with the hardest parts of life—and her best advice for people who want to “glow through what they go through.” Katie is a fierce mental health advocate, who built her business amidst challenging times, growing from a self-funded startup to a multi-million dollar business.

The podcast is officially one year old!   One year ago on March 1st of 2022, I officially launched.   I launched messy.   I hated my cover art.   There was no intro/ outro music.   There were only two episodes.   I didn't do a big buildup marketing campaign.   Pre-launch, I actually had one episode I published 3 months prior without telling anyone.   Then I finally made the shift and dove in.   So, whatever you're dreaming about… Start.    Do the thing.   One year from now, you'll be super proud of how far you've come.   It's not about how messy you are when you start. It's about the person you become in the process.      Ready to make a change?

Hey there, Habit Thrivers! It's a new year, a new month and a new episode of the Habit Thrive Podcast. And, today, we're talking about knowing When to Rest & when to Move in Your Next Chapter. As you enter into this new year/post holiday time, most of you will find yourselves falling into one of two categories: You just spent a whirlwind month (or more!) with your planner packed with activities, projects, parties, food and fun times. Now you want to just take a deep breath, clear your calendar and RELAX! Or… You spent the holiday season indulging in foods you don't normally eat, taking naps, watching movies every night and putting some things on your to-do list on pause. Now you are recharged and ready to GET MOVING! No matter which of these categories you fall into, it's important to recognize that we need balance in our lives. And you already know this at least on a subconscious level, because your body is trying to balance the past month's activities - or lack of activities - by “craving” the opposite. So, I'm going to suggest we all start at the same place: Listening to our bodies and reaching for the lowest hanging fruit. What I mean by that is to get moving by starting with your favorite activity. You don't have to run a marathon or even run at all. Take a walk, follow a yoga video online, ride your stationary bike for 30 minutes. Anything that gets you moving is the perfect activity! Then balance that activity with some relaxation or “me time.” But instead of just laying on the couch until you lose track of time, plan your downtime so that you get a little and then go back to some movement. The goal is to not force yourself to do things, but rather listen to what your body is saying and plan your day with that balance mindset. And with that, I say to get up, get moving … and then perhaps take a nap. ;) Lorrie xoxox Loving the show? Let's connect!

If you had told me that I would be at my book signing a year ago, I would have told you to get out of town. Writing a book was always a dream, but I always put it in the “someday” category. Well, now it is a reality! I just completed my first book signing, and it was a humbling and joyful experience. I'm here to tell you as living proof that you can do whatever you want to do. Whether writing a book, starting a business, or pivoting to a new career, you've got this! This fits right into my conversation with my guest today, Liz Brunner. Liz has had a fantastic arc in her career and is yet another example of a woman who took bold and brave actions in her career to discover her next chapter. During my conversation with Liz, we covered: 1. Finding and connecting the patterns in our professional and personal lives 2. How these patterns can inform our next chapters and how no skills or experiences are truly wasted 3. What drove Liz to write her book, Dare to Own You 4. What it was like for Liz to be in the public year for over 20 years 5. How to craft an elevator pitch and why it is important to have at the ready 6. And much more.

How do you connect a high-profile brand with its best audience? Through great storytelling! Liz Brunner is the Founder and CEO of Brunner Communications, assisting high-profile individuals and organizations in developing powerful, meaningful, and desirable brand identities.  She is also the Founder of Brunner Academy of Online Learning, and the author of Dare to Own You: Taking Your Authenticity and Dreams into Your Next Chapter. Liz has had a number of professions over the course of her career, from high school music teacher to Emmy Award-winning news anchor. She explains that the key to her success can be summed up in two words: great storytelling. When you know the secrets of storytelling, you can capture the attention of your audience and keep them hooked. Having worked both in person and on television, it was easy for Liz to transition her work into the digital space after the pandemic started – in fact, she began to teach others how to engage in the virtual space and still move the dial. She shares why digital presenters need to think like TV stars, and how to get your audience to feel your presence - even through the lens. Our final topic revolves around the energy gained from working face-to-face, versus the newfound advantages of the digital space. Liz explains the pros and cons of each, and how to connect, communicate, and engage, developing the keys to success regardless of your medium. Three Key Takeaways: * When presenting virtually and using slides keep things moving! Use more slides with less content on each or include animations to keep the audience constantly engaged. * Looking directly into the camera when working online gives a feeling that you are looking directly at every member of your audience and engages them more. * While putting a message together you need to hook people right away, if you don't you'll miss an opportunity for your brand (personally and for your company).

Liz also founded the Brunner Academy of online learning in 2020, with a goal to provide access to high quality speaker training. Her flagship masters public speaking course, How to be a Rock Star Public Speaker, has received high praise. 5:40 – Liz 101 Liz is a classically trainer singer, former journalist and now an entrepreneur and best-selling author. She wants to continue teaching, motivating and inspiring people to live their best lives and find their authentic lives. 8:31 – From teacher to journalist No knowledge or experience is ever wasted, even if it wasn't what you planned to do. When Liz was a teacher and a journalist, she was telling stories. There is a connection between different jobs. 13:20 – Why journalism? When she taught high school music, Liz thought there was something more she should do, but she wasn't sure what it was. She thought about being an architect or psychologist. She heard about informational interviews, so she called up TV stations and asked for a job. 17:50 – Chasing perfection Sometimes being imperfect is more perfect, because you're being your best authentic self. 20:57 – Living her purpose Liz has interviewed presidents and other important people, but the work she's doing now is more fulfilling. She has found her purpose and what she is meant to do in this world. 28:08 – A mosaic identity Liz calls herself a “mosaic” because she is a blend of many different nationalities. She was bullied at times because of her ethnicity. 40:36 – What's next? Liz has added new courses to her online learning academy. 42:37 – Get to know you Who was she most nervous to interview? President Obama Guilty pleasure? Chocolate candy and cupcakes FEATURED QUOTES I want to continue to teach. I want to continue to motivate. I want to continue to inspire people to live their best life, whatever that is. Sometimes being imperfect is more perfect, because you're being your best authentic self. I am doing my purpose and what I was meant to do in this world.
