Simply Authentic

How many times a day to you look at yourself in a mirror? Do you love what you see? Even if you don't love all of what you see, do you love WHO you see? If you don't, do you know how to start loving yourself? Or do you even care if you love yourself at all?

Today I'm going to share with you the importance of loving yourself and how to start doing it or get even better at it. Because, if you don't, you will never be able to live the life that you so deeply desire.

This episode is a spontaneous creation, inspired by a moment of realization that I experienced just a little while ago. The expanded perspective that it provided me, I felt, was important enough that others may benefit from it as well. I hope you enjoy it.

Life is limitless. What you are capable of accomplishing is limited only by the limits you create for yourself or that you allow others to create for you. Now, this doesn’t mean we don’t experience some ups and downs as we go through life. And for some of us, those ups and downs can seem a bit on the extreme end of things.

The story you are going to hear today is from a man who has experienced some rather significant ups and downs - to the likes of which many of us may have simply given up on life altogether. But instead of succumbing to depression, or discouragement, or having a bitter attitude toward the world, he overcame his obstacles with purpose and strength like never before.

His name is Legacy Patino and he’s with me today to share his story. At the end of the podcast, he also shares a very unique perspective that will give you something extra to ponder today. I’m excited to share his story with you and I hope you enjoy it.

This episode is a continuation of an interview I had recorded with a woman named Kristy Walsh (now Kristy Walsh Santos) where she shared her inspiring story of transformation and an amazing shift in perspective that has forever changed her life. However, there was more to the story that I didn’t have time to share in a single episode.

So In this episode Kristy and I talk about our power to create and manifest the life we want. We also discuss our views for where we think things are headed and how we can help future generations retain the information and the gifts that we were all born with. Portions of this interview left me speechless. I left the pauses in the interview, so you might be able to pick up on the times when I didn't even know what to say. Enjoy!

Back in April I had the pleasure of interviewing a woman named Kristy Walsh (now Kristy Walsh Santos). Kristy was raised in Eastern Europe in a strict Catholic family. She has lived in the US for a number of years and like many of us, conformed to what society deems as the "normal" or the "expected" course for life. She experienced ups and downs in her life, but then, in August something happened that changed her life forever. 

This is a story of a woman and her transformational shift in perspective that has changed her life for ever. She has broken free, and isn't looking back.

This was an impromptu podcast that I recorded on my phone while sitting in my car at the school bus stop, waiting for my kids to arrive home. I had just finished with an amazing interview with someone for the Simply Authentic podcast. Her story was amazing to hear and there were parts of it that simply left me speechless. Today's podcast highlights some of my own moments of enlightenment through this incredible interview. I still get chills listening to this recording and I hope you find it just as inspiring as I did.

It's been a little while since you've heard me talk on the Simply Authentic podcast. I have been incredibly busy and I can't wait to tell you what I've been doing!

We all have been given the gift of intuition, but following that intuition or trusting it to lead you in the right direction isn’t always easy to do. For many of us it takes practice and it’s more of a learned skill. As children we do it without thinking. But somewhere in the process of growing up, we begin to doubt ourselves and forget how to listen for and follow our intuition.

Today I have a special guest with me, Scott Wanless, who has mastered the skill of listening to his intuition without questioning the information he receives. Because of this, he has had some rather profound experiences in his life. 

I am excited to have Scott on the podcast today to share his story about how listening to intuition has changed his life for the better.

There is a direct correlation between the energy you emit and everything else that you experience in your life.  On good days you feel good. On not so great days, you don't feel like yourself. Your mood isn't the same. Your energy feels lower and your productivity level is also low, if not non-existent altogether.

In this episode, I share with you how I learned to harness my energy from within and how you can do it too to get more of what you want out of life.

In order to grow, we must embrace change. To do that however, we also must face our fears.

Fear and change are two of the biggest stumbling blocks that we face when it comes to unleashing our passion and stepping into our own power. And I’m no different. 

In today's episode, I share with you my story of how I've overcome my fears and started to embrace change in a big way - much bigger than anything I've ever set out to do before. At the end of this episode, you'll also learn of a special opportunity that will only be available for a limited time. So don't miss it!

Before you skip over this episode thinking you don’t need to overcome ”laziness syndrome" let me ask you this:

What is the number one reason we don’t accomplish so many of the things that we say we want to do? Is it lack of resources? Is it because we’re afraid to take the leap toward whatever it is that we want? Is it simply a lack in confidence? Or maybe, just maybe, could it all boil down to something a lot more basic – the “laziness syndrome.”

Listen to today's episode to discover several ways that you can overcome laziness when it next strikes.

We inherently know how to bounce back. But we aren’t really taught how to bring ourselves out of a funk intentionally. At times, a more deliberate approach is necessary and even preferred. In today's episode, I continue the discussion from last week as I share a technique for bouncing back deliberately. Start taking control of your life today.

For many of us, the idea of self-improvement brings up uncomfortable feelings and resistance. It feels like work and seeing the value or the benefit of something like it is hard to weigh. But we know it's a good thing. So how do we get past all of that and better yet, how do we know when we need to incorporate self-improvement into our life?

This episode was inspired by some recent conversations that I had with friends and family today. It's all about how we can fuel our soul, almost without effort, and continue pumping higher vibrational energies into our soul on a regular basis. in this episode I also share a story about someone very dear and close to my heart, my brother, and how he took a leap of faith that has changed his life.

After an event we often feel excited and ready to take action. And then reality sets in. You are bombarded with other tasks and reminded of your other priorities and responsibilities and the momentum you might have felt, starts to dissipate. So how do you keep it going?

I thought it fitting to talk about Love since yesterday was Valentine's Day. Dr. Gary Chapman's book, The 5 Love Languages, is changing lives all over the world. He's helping couples, families, friends, co-workers to finally communicate so that we all can feel more fulfilled. Listen to this episode for an exploration in the Five Love Languages and discover how to start improving your relationships. This book could be one of the most impactful books you ever read.

Or my own personal reasons, I really needed to take a closer look at what causes me to fail when trying to get stuff done.  As mentioned last time, humans are lazy, and stressed, but there has to be more to it than just that. So I took a deeper look and this is what I found.

We all are required to juggle multiple projects and tasks at any given time. But there comes a time when everything that's on our to-do plate may just become too much causing mental anxiety. At a time when we need to be at our best, we all but shut down. So how do you pick up the pieces again? Listen as I share my methods for carrying on after being brought to my knees.

This week I've been on a bit of a whirlwind. Between the headaches, the tiredness, the nausea, and some serious emotional turmoil, it has been hard to stay present to say the least. You may have experienced something like this too, even if you didn't realize it at the time. Learn how I cope through the various physical manifestations. It may just help you to do the same the next time you're hit with an energetic shift.

Humans are lazy. It's in our nature. Scientists have studied this trait and found that we are predictable. When given a choice between something easy and something difficult, we will most often choose the easier route. So how does this affect our overall life path and should you care?

When we are triggered we experience an emotional charge.  We get all worked up and our emotions explode. When this happens, it can be difficult to take a step back to shift your perspective long enough to assess the situation and choose how you want to respond.  In this episode I share with you a technique that can help you maintain control and release an emotional trigger before it gets the best of you.

Like many of us, I was never taught how to recognize my emotional charge or trigger within my body, let alone what to do with it if I had. Many of the situations that trigger us as adults, do so because of things we experienced as a child. The key to overcoming these knee-jerk responses is by first learning how to recognize when they're happening.

This is the final episode in a 2-part series on how to have difficult conversations. Yesterday we heard how to mentally and emotionally prepare for such discussions. Today we dive into what really takes place during these difficult conversations and how to apply the techniques to our everyday lives.

At one point or another, we are all faced with difficult situations requiring difficult conversations. Ben Stickney knows this all too well and shares with us his method for handling difficult conversations so that both sides come out winning.

We all face difficult decisions and sometimes those decisions first come from moments of elation and excitement. So what happens? Why do we backpedal into thoughts of fear and anxiety? Today's episode demonstrates this with a real-life example that most all of us face at some point in our lives.

We all experience those days when nothing seems to be going right. Today was one of those days, but despite all that has happened, one lesson remains at the forefront of my mind. Staying present.

Setting goals is a good practice in your day-to-day life as well as for your professional career. I've been working on some longer-term goals and came across a system for setting goals that I wanted to share with you. This system will help ensure that your goals are actually attainable.

Sometimes all we need is a little shift in perspective to change the outcome of our day or week, or even our life. In this episode I explain how such a simple thing can have such a large impact as well as how you can create your own shifts in perspective.

Forgiveness isn't about accepting what transpired. It isn't about simply choosing to "let it go." What takes place is something much more beautiful and inspiring. When we truly learn to forgive, it can have such a profound impact on our lives - often beyond what we ever could have imagined. Listen as I share my own story on the Power of Forgiveness.

I took my dog for a walk today despite not feeling like I had the time to do so. One particular thought came to me and I wanted to share it with you because it deals with a fairly deep shift for me energetically it seemed relevant and worthy of being shared.

I thought it might be fun to hear from listeners as to the things you do to break free from the overwhelm and keep going when the pile before you seems too big to overcome.
