Hope. Strength. Courage. Loving moms whose kids are fighting for their lives!

This week’s episode which features my interview with Natalie Ledwell as we discuss how to focus on the positive through affirmations and vision boards.  Natalie is a colleague of mine through the Evolutionary Business Council and I am thrilled to share with you the work she has done to understand how we create our own affirmations and for both ourselves and our families that can help each one of us through challenging times. I really appreciated Natalie’s honestly and down to earth explanations of how Mind Movie affirmations and other tools like gratitude can help us to stay positive everyday. I hope you will take her up on her offer for access to the free tools on her website. I know from experience how beneficial they can all be. I hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did. 

Now for today’s episode which features my interview with Whole Food Nutritionist Tina Jo Stephens as we discuss how we can use diet to heal our lives.  Last week was part three of my interview with NLP Practitioners Ed Olvera and Jacquie Nagy and we spoke with then about using cognitive behavior therapy to help us become more hopeful. This week Tina Jo talks with us about how the food we eat makes a difference in how we feel. And the importance of finding foods that heal and sustain our bodies. Both for our children and ourselves. She talks about how to marry nutrition and how to make really good food taste good, in her words to make it taste scrumptious. What I loved about this interview is how Tina explains that this is a family adventure. And she reminded me about things I had forgotten to do myself for our family. I appreciate all the great pieces of advice she shares throughout the interview from her experiences caring for her younger brother. Everything from letting go of guilt to remembering to ask for help. Such great reminders that stand the test of time. They were helpful when my daughter was in treatment and continue to be helpful years later. I hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did.  

Now for today’s episode which features my interview with Psychologist Dr Wendy Ulrich as we discuss how cognitive behavior therapy can help us become more hopeful. Last week we spoke with NLP Practitioners Jacquie Nagy and Ed Olvera about how to take time for selfcare and relaxation and I love that this week’s conversation with Wendy picks right where they left off. She shares an amazing definition of hope and talks about how we can find meaning in the most difficult situations. When we retrain our brain to look at things differently, we can calm our brains to find peace and override the negative thoughts we generate when we become depressed.  I hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did.  

Today’s episode features part 3 of my interview with NLP Practitioners Jacquie Nagy and Ed Olvera. In part 1 and 2, Jacquie and Ed gave us an overview of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and we discussed how to use NLP and Breathing to manage daily stress. Jacquie shared her four steps to shift from overwhelm to intentional resourceful living and three of her ten daily habit to start her day. This week Ed continues the conversation about what we can do when we are in overwhelm, how to move from one state to another, and he shares an amazing, guided mediation with us. I really love the guided meditation or visualization combined with the reminders both Jacquie and Ed give to take time to practice the tools we have learned and of course hugs, get lots of hugsI hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did. 

This week’s episode feature’s part 2 of my interview with NLP Practitioners Jacquie Nagy and Ed Olvera. In part 1, Jacquie and Ed gave us an overview of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and we discussed how to use NLP and Breathing to manage daily stress. This week’s interview was packed with steps, habits and resources we can use as parents. Jacquie goes into detail of her 4 steps to shift from overwhelm to intentional resourceful living. One of the things I loved about Jacquie’s 4 steps was when she explained how breathing can be used as a mechanism to shift ourselves from one state to another. From fear to calm or from inaction to action. When she also talked about the 10 habits of her morning and evening self care routine, it was a reminder to me to get back into my habits as well. I hope you will take Jacquie up on her offer, if you send her an email, she will send you a copy of all 10 habits. I really appreciate that after Jacquie’s four steps, Ed brought this back to what we can do when we are in overwhelm, again how to move from one state to another, and that leads us into part 3 of the interview when next week Ed will be sharing an amazing, guided mediation with us. I hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did. 

Today’s episode features part 1 of my interview with NLP Practitioners Jacquie Nagy and Ed Olvera. Last week we spoke with Kevin Hall, bestselling author of Aspire as shared his deep insights he learned when his own daughter Summer was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He talked about how he and his family only wanted positive people surrounding her as she went through her treatment and recovery.  This is a big part of the discussion as part of my interview with NLP Practitioners Jacquie Nagy and Ed Olvera, as we discussed this week how to use NLP and Breathing to manage daily stress. I really appreciated learning and properly understanding what NLP is all about and how we can use breathing as a leveraging point. Going from simply breathing to setting an intention on the state of being we choose to be in. Being in a state of calm rather than fear.  I hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did.
