In this week's episode, I share what positive psychologist, Barbara Fredrickson, calls a Positive Portfolio.

Dr. Fredrickson believes that intentionally creating and cultivating positive emotions contributes to our well-being. 

This practice helps us to expand our thought, emotional, and action/behavioral patterns which ultimately create our desired life experience.

So, how can we intentionally create and cultivate positive emotions?

I share my experience of creating a Positive Portfolio.

On this week's episode, I am sharing an interview I recently had with my friend and coach colleague, Christ Davis.

Christi is a happy wife, a mom to seven incredible people, a mother-in-law, and a grandma to the cutest kids in all the land. She is also a podcaster, and author, and a certified life coach. She is an Arizona native who has yet to acclimate to the heat. She loves fresh flowers and soft bedsheets. She doesn't love cockroaches or dirty socks on the kitchen counter. She feels called to the work of strengthening homes and families by supporting mothers.

We talk about the importance of faith building as it relates to God, our children, and ourselves.

I think you will love what Christi has to share.

On this week's episode, I am talking about a topic that was submitted by one of my listeners who "wanted suggestions on showing love for someone that pushes all their buttons.

I share the truth about button pushing.

I also share the 3 A's that will help you navigate your most challenging relationships: Acknowledge, Accept, and Articulate. 

Understanding and applying these concepts will empower you to show up as the person you want to be, increase your ability to find solutions, and enable you to create more peace in your life. 

In this week's episode, I am doing something a little bit different.

I am having a conversation with one of my friends and clients, Nancy Cheal.

She shares her experience with coaching and some of the things she has learned that have helped her navigate her current season of life with confidence.

In this week's episode, I get to have a conversation with my friend and coach colleague, Natalie Roush.

Natalie is a certified life coach that specializes in repurposing your inner critic to become your very best friend.

She and her husband are parents to 2 very high energy and incredible children.

Natalie loves to laugh, whether that's goofing off with family and friends, or enjoying stand up comedy. She loves all things that involve warm weather, sunshine and water but especially loves the beach, boating and sunsets.

You are going to love her!

I know I always say that but it is true!

I am sharing my conversation with my coach colleague, friend and mentor.

Natalie Clay is a wife, mother of five, and a certified Life Coach, specializing in coaching couples. Her unique approach assumes inherent goodness in everyone she works with. This means there is no assigning blame, just a logical approach to help better love yourself and your spouse, with failsafe tools to get you there.

You are going to love her!

I am so excited to share this conversation with you.  I will be talking with my friend and coach colleague, Tina Gosney. She is a relationship coach who works with people in mixed-faith families. She helps them find love and peace in their relationships in the midst of changing beliefs. Even though you believe differently, it is possible to feel united as a family again. 

This was such a powerful conversation.  Tina and I not only talk about some of the challenges that can face in the relationships with our adult children but we share some ideas you can use to strengthen those relationships. 

I hope you leave this conversation feeling empowered and as hopeful as I did.

I am so excited for this week’s podcast!

I am sharing my conversation with my dear friend, Seantae Jackson.

Seantae Jackson is an elementary school art teacher, inspirational speaker, fatal car accident survivor, safe driving advocate, nonprofit co-founder, everyday girl, wife, and mother to five children - including two sets of twins.

Seantae and her husband and oldest twins were in a severe motor vehicle accident just a year and a half ago. Due to the serious injuries sustained by them all, never-ending recoveries, and loss of work - their family has endured extreme hardships and yet grown closer through it all. She speaks of using the power of hope and creating a bright future amid darkness!

On this week's podcast, I share my conversation with fellow coach college, friend, and mentor. We talk about her new book, Unblended.

Mindy Neal is a Master Certified Life Coach with an Advanced Certification in Relationship Coaching. She loves helping women create 5-star relationships and love their life no matter their circumstances.

I can’t wait for you to learn from her!

Recently, I gave a talk in a Latter-day Saint Relief Society meeting.

The only way I can describe it is that it went over like a lead balloon. The first part went well but then it took a nosedive. The message I prepared was not what those women needed. As I finished, I sat down and my heart sank.

Now, I know that I can’t change what happened. I also know that a poor talk doesn’t say anything about the kind of person I am. It doesn’t determine my value or my worth. I know that the worst thing that happens from this is that I feel bad, discouraged and disappointed. I will get over it.

But I wanted a redo and that is what brings me here today.

That is the cool thing about having your own podcast.

So, I got up in the early, early morning and grabbed my computer and began to write this podcast– the talk I wished I had given. I don’t know that any of those women will even hear this. It is pretty unlikely that any of them follow me. But maybe.

But there are words in my heart that I want to share so I am going to share them with you on this week's podcast.

Mentioned in the podcast:

Oh, The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss

Dedicated to the Mendon 1st Ward Relief Society

This spring, we will be celebrating 32 years of marriage.

In this episode, what it has been like to navigate life together.

We also share some of the ways we have found success in our marriage.

Hopefully, there is something you can take away from this conversation.

If not, hopefully, it is at least a little bit entertaining.

Have you ever heard the say, “Falling off the wagon?”
