Love Your Life

Today, join Genie and Debi and they kick off Mindfulness Month! Being mindful unlocks your heart’s wisdom to create more peace in your life. If you want to love your life, you MUST become more mindful. BUT, what does that mean? In the simplest term, being mindful means being aware in your present moment. Too many of us are focused on the past or the future and simply on auto-pilot in the present. Your point of power is in the NOW. Tune in today to learn about what mindfulness is and how you can bring more presence into your life right now.

Today, Join Debi and Genie for a look into navigating your emotions. As the Captain of your ship, you need to be aware of your surroundings. This means noticing the thoughts and emotions beneath the surface and without judgement, choosing how to manage them. Join us to learn some fabulous self-regulating tools that will help you to shift course towards a life you love.

Today Genie and Debi will talk about the deep connection between thoughts and emotions. You are the only thinker in your mind and as you get better at noticing your thoughts, you will begin to see a positive shift in your life. On today’s show, you will learn some practical tools to help you notice your thoughts and the resulting emotions before you experience a downward spiral. Awareness in your present moment is a key to creating the life you want.

We all want a life that we love, but how do we get there? How do we know what that even looks like? If we set the intention to love our life, that’s a great starting point! Join Genie and Debi as they talk about how to set realistic goals in the area of love. The foundation for loving your life is loving yourself. Let’s take aim at that target.

Setting Intentions 101! A few weeks ago, Debi and Genie talked about the difference between resolutions and intentions. This week's show is all about how to set meaningful intentions that set you up for success. They will talk about using a growth mindset as a framework for your intentions and how to take baby steps to new growth in your life. Join them for a valuable lesson that can supercharge your life and help you achieve your goals!

Last week Genie and Debi talked about Life Coaching; what it is and why it can help you to reach your goals and enjoy the journey. Combined, Debi and Genie have over 25 years of coaching experience to draw upon. Today, join them as they reach into their mail bags to answer questions from listeners, students and clients over the years. You will hear how they can help clients to reframe and realign beliefs to help release patterns that keep them stuck. See how a coach might help you decide how to empower yourself and your life. They may even have time for a little practice coaching session. Get a sneak peek into how a coach thinks and how you can benefit.

Join Debi and Genie on today's show to talk about coaching; life coaching, spiritual coaching, intuitive coaching, business coaching, etc....We've all heard about coaching. In fact, over the last 20-ish years, coaching has grown into a recognized and much valued profession. But....what is it and how can it benefit you? Both Genie and Debi are ICF credentialed life coaches and have loads of experience to share with you from both a coach's perspective and also as clients! If you've ever thought about hiring a coach, but weren't sure where to start or what to look for for your needs, this is a great show for you!

We all know the wonderful feeling of helping someone, being of service, or giving of ourselves in some way. It warms your heart, doesn't it? How many of us are so very giving and yet we have such a hard time asking for or receiving help? Giving and receiving are part of an energetic circle....as you give you keep the channel open to receive. As you allow people and the Universe to provide for you, the flow of goodness in your lifes gets bigger and wider and brighter. If you cut off the flow by saying no to the receiving side, you're missing part of the puzzle. Join Genie and Debi today to talk about keeping a nice healthy balance between giving and receiving. Perfect timing for the holiday season!

We need it to live...it's our fuel. Have you ever thought about how important it is to your overall health? If you think of your body as the amazing vehicle for your soul to explore this world, then the quality of food/fuel you're consuming plays a big role in how well your vehicle functions! Food is medicine! Join Genie and Debi as they talk with their special guest, Patti Fleury. Patti is a licensed Heal Your Life Teacher, expert in nutrition and the author of the book, "Life After Crohn's: 5 Steps to Total Wellness." She was eventually diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in the early 1990s. She spent countless days in hospital, taking all kinds of drugs and eventually underwent surgery to remove portions of her digestive tract. Despite this aggressive medical approach, she remained unwell and essentially debilitated. Her illness determined her entire life until she woke up one morning and decided a change was in order. She started working with a naturopathic doctor, changed her diet, began supplementing with key nutrients, made some lifestyle changes and never looked back. In a short period of time, she was able to reclaim a level of health she never thought possible. Her enthusiasm for diet, nutrition and holistic health was so great she decided to turn it in to a career. Tune in to learn about the 5 steps to maintaining or regaining your health!

What we focus on we create more of. The more you can look around you and find things to appreciate, the more things to appreciate you notice. Gratitude and appreciation are one of the quickest ways to start shifting your life. So let’s get into that thankful mood as we appreciate more and complain less.

In 2001 Wayne Dyer wrote an amazing little book called, “The Ten Secrets for Success and Inner Peace”. Join us today to discuss the ten ways you can bring more inner peace into your life. Times have been full of uncertainty lately. These little ideas can help your tap into your own inner peace.

The good news is they are only thoughts and a thought can be changed. Let’s start taking steps together to bring more love into our hearts and into our lives!

Last week we talked about how emotions are tied to behavior. I am sure we have all had an experience at one time or another where we felt upset or angry and we acted while feeling that way. In general, actions taken while in an agitated, unsettled frame of mind rarely end well. What can you do instead? Join Genie and Debi this week as we talk about responsible decision making. We will talk about how your frame of mind and emotions play a huge role in the decisions you make. The choices you make and act upon become the sum total of your life experience. The power is yours. You get to decide how and when to act. So, by incorporating good social emotional intelligence and practicing daily, you can change the way you think and behave. When you change your thinking, you change your life!

Emotions are often the catalyst for behaviors. As we develop more awareness of our own emotions and we learn how to manage them, we can then use those skills to enhance and improve our relationships. A foundation of any healthy relationship is good communication. Each behavior is a form of communication. With a good foundation of social emotional intelligence, you can think and act in ways that support healthy communication and relationships. Whether it is your children, your spouse, your coworkers, or your friends, learning about and improving your own social emotional habits is a benefit. So, pull up a desk in Debi and Genie’s Social Emotional Intelligence classroom as we gain some valuable insights that are bound to improve all our relationships.

When I was growing up, only one person in my household was allowed to fully express a wide range of emotions. I grew up in the 60’s/70’s. It is only recently that the importance of social emotional intelligence has been recognized in schools and society. So, most likely, you, like me may have missed the lesson on social emotional intelligence. But…. there is good news!!!! We also know from recent discoveries about how the brain works, that your brain is actually quite flexible!!! Join Genie and Debi on this week’s show to find out how you can improve your Social Emotional Intelligence no matter how old you are.

There are many ways that we, as adults can learn to manage our emotions, but the most effective way to teach it to children is by modeling it. Now, this does not mean that you must be a perfect, saintly role model. We all learn by making mistakes. Your children can learn from your mistakes. So, join Genie and Debi as we explore why social emotional learning is so crucial for children and how you can model and communicate how you're feeling with your children. Remember, we must be able to look within ourselves non-judgmentally in order to grow.

We are learning everyday how important emotions are. It is only recently, that we as a society are beginning to recognize that being aware of our emotions is crucial to living a life we love. Join Debi and Genie on this week’s show as they discuss five areas of social emotional learning that are important for all of us to learn.

We talk a lot on the Love Your Life Show about seeing life from many points of view. Research from Harvard University shows that success is achieved more frequently by those who can see different possibilities. Noticing who is in your inner circle of friends and broadening your horizons is one way we can all bring new viewpoints and better understanding into our lives. So, on today’s Love Your Life Show Genie and Debi welcome special guest Donna parks. All three are mothers and all three share many commonalities as well as coming from three very unique backgrounds. On this week’s show we will explore the beautiful diversity among us and build on the commonalities and strengths that we all bring to the beautiful tapestry that is life. One of the biggest commonalities is we all love our children unconditionally! Join us for three moms, three cups of coffee (one decaf) and three different viewpoints on the most rewarding job of motherhood.

We have all been in situations at one time or another and have heard people make belittling comments. Perhaps we have used words harshly ourselves. Biased language sneaks into everyday situations often. Today, join Genie and Debi as they talk about noticing this language when used by us and what to do when confronted by biased language from others.

Biases are beliefs and feelings we hold about something. Some biases are not conducive to peaceful, loving relationships. We all have subconscious biases, many picked up from our early childhoods. These beliefs we hold true and they shape how we interact with the world around us. Join Debi and Genie as we talk about our hidden biases. When you become aware of your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings, then you have the power to change them.
