This past year, life's felt a little more cluttered and confusing to me than usual. As I was starting to do some of my end-of-year reflections and planning forward, I asked myself some of my usual questions: "What do I want in the coming year? What do I want to create? What do I want in my LIFE?" And a lot of my answers weren't really satisfying or deeply fulfilling. They were based largely on what I wanted to do and accomplish, and didn't really get into who I wanted to be. Looking for more depth and clarity in what was REALLY burning inside me to create, I discovered Bonnie Wan (today's guest), author of The Life Brief: A Playbook for No-Regrets Living. Today's episode is my conversation with Bonnie as she shares her own story and gets into what a life brief is and what it can do in your life. It's surprisingly simple and yet, lends itself to endless possibilities. In our interview, Bonnie Wan shares: Quote by Roger Housden (paraphrased) "Writing is like rearranging the furniture of your mind."

What would it look like to DO the damn thing you REALLY want to do in your life? Do you know where to start identifying what that thing is and how to make space for it? To wrap up 2023, I wanted something new, fresh, and inspiring vs. just the normal old goal-setting and planning. I wanted to get super solid on WHAT I'm focusing on in the coming year and WHY. I want to go after my biggest dreams 150%! In order to get clear on what that looked like, I needed to dump all the puzzle pieces of my life onto the table and see which ones fit and which ones didn't (some belonged to someone else's puzzle entirely, and I have no idea how they got in my bag!). It was in Taking Inventory personally and professional and doing a little soul-searching that I met today's guest, Bevin Farrand, author of Your Damn Manifesto which is a guide to getting clear on your vision and putting it front and center at all times. In this episode with Bevin: About Bevin Farrand: In 2019, after an unexpected loss just 5 days after she returned from a whirlwind trip to France with her husband, Bevin Farrand founded the Take the DAMN Chance movement and created the Do the DAMN Thing Method.

The words we use shape our every day, our environment, the people around us, and our world. Are we using words and phrases in a way that creates the world we want to live in? Are we using language in a way that allows us to intentionally connect, include, and bring people together? In this episode, with special guest Emily Nichols, we look at the topic of the many things we say (and phrases we take for granted), and how they can actually work to alienate and separate, rather than unite and include.

Are you afraid of FEAR? There's a lot of messaging out there about how we need to stare our fear in the face and crush it! "Do it scared" Fear gets a bad rap! It's a "victim of some unfortunate PR".

I believe podcasts have the power to change lives. Podcasts help people access information and education in an affordable (often free) way. They give voice to messages of hosts and guests who may not otherwise have a platform to share their impact. They can raise awareness around issues, people, concepts, and ideas. As a podcaster, you learn, grow, and evolve in the journey of podcasting. You never know who you will meet when you podcast. You can create powerful connections as a listener and a host, and a single episode can change a trajectory, perspective, or relationship. The possibilities are endless. In this week's episode, I sit down with Adam Adams, host of the Podcast on Podcasting and we get some of his unique perspectives on creating great content through the power of podcasting.

"What else is possible?" Tanessa Shears' life changed when she got curious and began asking herself that question. In this episode, Tanessa (a listener favorite and return guest!), inspires and encourages us all to look at our own lives from that perspective as we consider what our next level and showing up as our best might be. I've personally been working in my own life on getting MORE healthy each and every year and stronger every week. I believe that it's possible for me to feel more vibrant and energetic and to start, I've stopped accepting "blah" and "meh" as my normal and started getting curious in asking myself what might be possible for ME. I hope this conversation inspires you to do the same as Tanessa and I talk about: About Tanessa Shears Tanessa Shears is a Kinesiologist, Certified Sleep Science Coach, and health consultant who helps entrepreneurs double their energy and focus so they can make more money in their business with her 12 Becoming Limitless Protocols.
