What are your core Values? What are you teaching your children about Values? Do you sometimes feel lost or confused when looking at the circumstances of your life? Have you ever achieved a big goal…and felt surprisingly empty instead of fulfilled? Has making a “simple” decision ever taken WAY longer than you think it should? All of these are indications of how well your Personal Value System works…or doesn’t. Your values are the basic guidelines that you use, consciously or unconsciously, to make every choice, great or small. If you’re unhappy with any area of your life, it’s probably because you’ve relinquished your decision-making to your current situation, your impulses, or the influence of others. This episode is loaded with wisdom, insights and easy-to-follow exercises that will help you discover your personal value system, then use it to align your life choices and live powerfully happy, fulfilled, and in service to humanity, yourself and your children.

Ever experienced times when you felt more than merely ‘stressed-out’? Times when just getting out of bed felt like you’re being asked to lift twice your weight? Maybe you’re experiencing fatigue, lack of drive or ineffectiveness. Perhaps you’re burned out. If so, you’re not alone. Burnout impairs our brain’s ability function.

It’s insidious. It’s invisible. It can take you out, often before you even realize what hit you. But unlike a virus, burnout must be proactively treated or it will never go away. Luckily there is a way to ‘treat’ burnout. THE GOOD NEWS IS that the treatment is simple. Find your answers in this impactful episode & learn how to beat burnout before it beats you!

BY POPULAR DEMAND...I had an overwhelming request from current clients and listeners to discuss the topic of change. So we are going to put last week's continuation on hold, and address TRANSITIONS AND TRANSFORMATIONS: Thriving in the Midst of Change. CHANGE: Life circumstances (stages of life, divorce, separation, having children, children leaving to go out on their own, friendships that stay or not, relationships that stay or not, shootings, family, jobs, religion, world issues). There is so much going on!! This episode is designed to share insights about understanding and thriving during change. Change is a universal topic and although many people understand that change is normal, very few of us have an understanding of the process. We will look at what change is, how it occurs and why. Review choices we have regarding change and most importantly, ways to move forward even though we may be resistant to change. You are going to love this episode!!!

Imagine the clumpable cat liter. When you feel like life is kicking your butt, do you let the dung clump get bigger or flush the waste? Holding onto poop nuggets creates a stinky life.

Do you get upset and then jump in the Gutter against your spouse accusing them of things? Whether your accusing is correct or not, no one resolves problems swimming in the Gutter. If you're going to do it (get a divorce) the big question I get is can a divorce be done with dignity? I BELIEVE IT CAN. Why on earth would you want to achieve a Divorce With Dignity? Divorce is a difficult passage, but there are practical things any couple can do, individually or together, to make the transition as painless as possible. A divorce with dignity means to go through a divorce without litigation and make it as peaceful a process as possible. By doing this, you retain your own dignity, help your family move forward into their new life patterns while retaining their dignity and self-respect, and, literally, save thousands of dollars. THIS EPISODE WILL GUIDE YOU ON HOW TO ACCOMPLISH A DIVORCE WITH DIGNITY.

This episode we will discuss a huge issue facing families today in America....the big D word (Divorce). I know first hand that it is hard for parents and getting caught in your emotions of regret, betrayal, loss, denial, anger, and so on....but what about the kids? How do they feel? They have emotions too. To a child the primal loss of a family structure can have a harsh and sometimes catastrophic toll on them, even into adulthood. I will share stories of now-adult children who came from a Divorced family, how it effected them and answers to some questions such as What do you say to those who claim that children are resilient and children are happy when their parents are happy? There are appropriate ways to approach Divorce with your children that we will be sharing, and I will offer some tools or how to's so you can use to help your children right now. I will have a special surprise guest you really won't want to miss.
