    2024/10/24

    This episode is a conversation with Carla White. Carla is a Spark Igniter!

    She’s on a mission to empower high performing

    women to heal emotional overwhelm &

    exhaustion so they can finally give themselves

    enthusiastic, unapologetic Permission to Play… to reignite the Spark within, find joy, and boost their energy using the power of FUN. She is a 4x international

    best-selling author, including her book Reignite

    Your Spark & contributor to Chicken Soup for the Soul,

    The Spirit of Canada. Carla is the creator of The Connection Club and Reignite Your Spark Retreat, held annually in the Canadian Rockies. She hosts the Permission to Play Show


    Another enlightening episode on how one can reignite their spark through play and find JOY once again. Carla´s work in the world is based on the proverb, ¨The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with JOY.¨

    She talks about how the natural state of human beings is JOY however, we have all experienced drama, trauma, and shitastrophies that if left unhealed will keep us from actually enJOYing our life adventures.

    Carla shares her personal experience and how she got herself to where she is today and how she supports professional women in finding their JOY again through play.

    I love her take on PLAY and how important it is for adults to still PLAY. She also shares with us her ABC´s.

    A-Allow what is coming up and let it be, don´t judge it.
    B-Breathe- This is our energy life source
    C-Connect with soul, community, higher power, or support system.

    She also chats with us about about the three components of PLAY:
    1. Connection
    2. Playfulness
    3. Flow

  • Encore Episode: Revisiting A Year Of Joy With Liz, Carroll
    2024/09/26

    This episode is a wonderful conversation with Liz Carroll who shares her experience with JOY.
    Liz Carroll is a life-long student and teacher of making mindful money moves. Originally believing she was "bad with money," Liz did the hardwork to rewrite her money story. She needed to drop limiting beliefs about how a woman can earn and manage money to set her up for financial success in a way she would commit to and follow. It worked. Liz attained financial independence and retired early from her corporate IT sales career.Now, in her encore career, Liz helps other women experience calm confidence with their finances by unpacking and shifting their own money story. She has the unique ability to shed light onto darkness around money,making complex personal finance issues simple. She created the Mindful Money Method, a financial wellness course and coaching program that utilizes a holistic approach to math, mindset and soul-guided desires. Liz is a Certified Financial Coach from Ramsey Solutions, a Certified Life Coach from The Life Coach School and a 200-RYT Yoga & Meditation Instructor from Purna Yoga College. She and her husband live on the Oregon Coast.Their adult children visit regularly.

    Liz shares how she intentionally planned a "Year of Joy" trip for her 50th birthday. Yes, she preplanned her budget and started saving. Everything she did in her "Year of Joy" were experiences except for one item she purchased. We discuss the importance of how experiences can continue to bring JOY for a lifetime compared to material items. Plus we discuss that one doesn't need a lot of, or any money to create JOY. There are many "free" things that can be done that bring JOY.

    We also talk about what Liz does, and how she helps other women create a more abundant and financially sound life.

    Tune in and be ready for some great take-aways from Liz.

    2024/09/12

    This episode is a FANTASTIC conversation with Zak King. Zak runs The Center For Advancement In Cancer Education (aka BeatCancer.Org).

    They are a 47 year old non profit organization helping people heal or prevent cancer using holistic modalities

    They do so through a variety of free programs such as free counseling with their in house doctors, free weekly Q&A sessions, etc, and they also sell educational courses in order to fund the free programs

    They have trained and certified hundreds of holistic cancer coaches all over the world and offer continuing business support to them.

    Zak also runs a podcast of his own called, ¨The Health King’s Court: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Health¨.

    He covers a variety of holistic health and wellness topics, anything from physical health, to mental, emotional, spiritual, relationship, or anything else.

    Zak has a different perspective on JOY and I loved hearing it. It definitely got me thinking and reflecting on how I see JOY. He also shares the importance of JOY when working with cancer patients and families and how they integrate that into the process of healing.

  • Encore Episode: Revisiting Bug Therapy, Mental Health and JOY!
    2024/08/29

    Another one of my favorites that I can listen to again and again!

    In this episode, we talk with Michael Jann and Michele Jourdan. Michael is an Emmy-nominated late-night comedy writer for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Michele is Mike’s wife, writing partner, and a gold-medal-winning body-builder. She likes working out so much, she actually married a dumbbell: Mike.

    Their story is deeply personal: Their 27-year-old son Max’s mental breakdown, hospitalization, diagnosis, and ongoing recovery (fingers crossed), fuel their passion to fight the stigma of mental illness. You can’t solve a problem if you can’t talk about it. BUG THERAPY uses humor and entertainment to break the ice.

    Listen in on some wonderful insight about BUG THERAPY, mental health, and JOY. Michael and Michele share where their idea for BUG THERAPY came from and the personal connection they have to it. They want to share with others that it is ok with whatever is going on in one's life and it's ok to get support. This short film has already brought out a clear, powerful message and has been used all over. Plus, hear their plans for the next step of this movie.

    They also share with us their personal experience with mental illness and their son, how they have navigated what was happening and how laughter, gratitude, and exercise created joy to help them get through what was happening with their son.

    Finally, hear their perspective on how JOY and mental health are connected.

  • Finding Joy While Living With An Invisible Disability; With Michelle Steiner.
    2024/08/15

    This week I chat with Michelle Steiner. Michelle lives with an invisible disability. She has articles published on The Mighty, Non-Verbal Learning Project, Dyscalculia Blog, The Reluctant Spoonie, Kalopina Collective, Imagine the World as One Magazine, and Word Gathering. Her photographs were featured in Word Gathering Independent and Work Ready. She works as a paraeducator in a school with students with disabilities. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two cats.

    Michelle shares with her invisible disability, how it impacted her life growing up, and how she learned to find JOY while living with Dyscalculia. She has used it to her advantage to find JOY within herself, her life, and works with others in helping them find JOY with any kind of barrier they may have.

    She shares what makes her JOYFUL and how she taps into that daily all while passing it on to others.

  • Dinner Table Talk: Setting Up Our Summer for JOY
    2024/07/04

    It is SUMMER!!!! School is out, activities and sports are done, now it is time to play and relax! How do we still make sure we read, limit screen time, not argue about the things that frustrate us, and use our time together to have FUN and create JOY?

    Mark came up with three questions for us to think about at the beginning of June.
    1. What do we want to for reading this summer?
    2. What does screen time look like?
    3. What is it that makes you frustrated that creates nagging, being nit picky, and creates negative energy.

    We thought about these questions for two days and then we discussed them at one of our family meeting table talks.

    We all came up with goals. Now that is is July 1st, it is time to revisit them. This episode shares our goals for each question and we reflect on our progress.

    How do we alter our reading goals since NO ONE has read except Mom?
    What will make it interesting?

    How are we doing on our screen time and how can we adjust and get better?

    Are we all following our agreements to eliminate the anger and frustration with the common problems that create JOY crushers?

    This conversation is our normal table talk when we have our family discussions. There is a lot of laughter as we figure out what our next steps are to navigate JOY together!
