Joy is a Practice: With Melissa Bloom

4/21/2024
“Joy is a Practice.” This was such a great conversation with Melissa Bloom. Her curiosity and intention to find joy is inspiring. Her belief in humanity more than despair…leaves room for hope and Joy. Becoming aware is the first step! Then, realize that you get to decide and change your perception in order to see your world in a new way. I appreciate that Melissa encourages us to make these changes incrementally, knowing that a “Practice” is something that does not happen overnight.

Style is more than our clothes: with Laura Claiborne

3/3/2024
Let me introduce you to Personal stylist and image Consultant Laura Claiborne is the owner of My Styled Life. Follow Laura on Instagram for tips on style and more!!! I had such a great conversation with Laura. I love how she cares about woman and how they feel in their clothes and, more importantly, how they feel about themselves.

As women, we can get lost in all the roles we play: wife, mother, daughter, manager, friend…not to mention caretaker, taxi driver, tutor, soccer mom and so many more. It can leave us stressed, exhausted, and—let's be honest—sometimes feeling just plain frumpy. ""Personal styling is an investment in YOU. My process helps you become effortlessly stylish so, as leadership coach Michael Allosso says, you are "you on your best day." Every day." ~Laura Claiborne Visit Laura's website and find out even more about what she offers and who she is!!

Tell others how much they mean to you!!!

2/23/2024
Has anyone told you how much you mean to them? What did that feel like? Some of us go through our days, weeks, months, and years, often unaware of our importance to others. It is remarkable to realize that we matter and have positively impacted another life. The conversation I had today with a former professor left us both energized and focused on growing even further in our work. It is incredible to hear you matter to someone, and even more rewarding to share with others how important they are or have been in your life. Reach out and tell someone you are a better person because of their presence in your life! Follow me on Instagram for more life tips!

The Value of Play as an Adult with Jennifer Williams.

8/13/2023
The Importance of Play for Adults!!!!! Check out Jennifer's website and Instagram for more on this subject! Play is often considered an activity reserved for children, but its significance transcends age boundaries. Just as children benefit from space for their cognitive, emotional, and social development, adults reap substantial rewards from engaging in playful activities. In a world filled with responsibilities, stressors, and demands, incorporating play into the lives of adults can have profound positive effects on their overall well-being and quality of life. Play offers: Stress Relief Creativity and Innovation Cognitive Flexibility Social Connection Physical Well-being Mindfulness and Present Moment Awareness Lifelong Learning Work-Life Balance Emotional Expression Joy and Happiness In a society that often prioritizes productivity and serious pursuits, recognizing the importance of play for adults is essential. Embracing playfulness can improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being, enhancing the overall quality of life. Whether through hobbies, games, sports, or other creative endeavors, adults can benefit immensely from making play a regular part of their lives. I would love to hear from you!

Your Story

6/20/2023
Our personal narrative is the story we tell ourselves about our lives and experiences. It shapes our beliefs, attitudes, and actions. The stories we tell ourselves can be empowering or limiting, depending on the nature of our self-talk. If a book was written about your life, what would it say? Would it be a story of triumphs and successes or one filled with regrets and missed opportunities? Our personal narrative is not set in stone; it can be rewritten or edited to reflect the person we want to become. The thoughts we allow to dominate our minds become beliefs that inform our daily actions. If we constantly tell ourselves negative stories about our abilities or worthiness, it becomes challenging to achieve success or happiness. Crafting a more empowering life story can transform who you are! Stay tuned for an update on my Life Story!!! I would love to hear from you! If you found this episode valuable, share it with others!

Irish Chef JP McMahon, There is more to Irish food than the potato!

3/15/2023
Dr. Jp McMahon is a lot of things; one characteristic that stands out to me is that he is generous! I had such a fun conversation with this complex multi-passionate soul. Dr. McMahon is one of Ireland's most prominent chefs! His Michelin Star restaurant Aniar inspired his latest book that launched this week! "An Alphabet of Aniar: Notes For A New Irish Cuisine" He offers so much to the culinary world as a restaurateur, author, and culinary director of the EatGalway Restaurant Group. In addition, he runs the Aniar Boutique Cookery School and is the Founding chair and director of the Galway Food Festival. He also organizes the annual international chef symposium in Galway. "Food on the Edge." Their mission is "To discuss how to provide a more sustainable and ethical way to produce food for all." I discovered JP during the Covid lockdown in my search for a new cookbook. I ordered "The Irish Cookbook" and was transported to Ireland as he so respectfully brought the history of Irish food into the present. He has given the world an education and permission to create something new from what we know. JP is more than a chef. He is a super proud dad, a photographer, a produced playwright, a poet, a football fan, and more. He has many creative outlets, and I could not be more thankful for our conversation!
