What if grief could be your greatest teacher? Join me as I honor my mom's memory and explore the unexpected gifts that grief has bestowed upon my life. In a heartfelt episode, I read a special segment from my book, The Places When There Are Spaces, where I reflect on the chapter "The Gifts in Grief." Through vivid recollections of the autumn of 2018, I share how my mother's passion for dance continues to inspire me, and ponder the moments we might have shared together. From imagining her first tap class to talking about my new apartment in New York City, her presence is felt in every step I take.

As I brace for the seventh anniversary of her passing, I find solace in the strength and resilience I've uncovered through loss. I encourage listeners who have experienced similar journeys to seek the hidden lessons and growth that can emerge from grief. With immense gratitude, I celebrate the deepened bond with my dad and the everlasting love of a mother that remains a guiding force in my life. Join me as I light her mosaic candle and raise a glass to her enduring presence, cherishing each moment and embracing her magic that continues to illuminate my path.

In this episode of STOPTIME: Live in the Moment, I’m excited to introduce you to a powerful new tool I’ve developed called The Menu™. The Menu is designed to help you take control of your energy and revolutionize the way you approach goal setting and mindful living.

The Menu™

The Menu is my trademarked practical framework that allows you to organize your daily energy choices much like you would a literal menu—giving you the freedom and flexibility to choose actions that align with your energy level and personal goals. It offers a fresh way to break down your day, from small, easily achievable actions to more significant, intentional choices. Whether you're looking to make "snacks," "main courses," or even indulge in "desserts," this tool gives you the power to create meaningful shifts in your life, one choice at a time.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How The Menu works and why it’s different from traditional goal-setting methods.
• The different categories within The Menu—from simple "snacks" to major "main courses"—and how to apply them in your daily life.
• How to use The Menu to manage your energy, avoid burnout, and make progress toward your goals, no matter the size.
• Why The Menu is a revolutionary tool for anyone looking to cultivate creative possibilities, live more mindfully, and create lasting change.

If you’re tired of rigid, one-size-fits-all approaches to goal setting and are ready to try something that adapts to your energy and life in real time, The Menu is the tool you’ve been waiting for.

Tune in and discover how to transform your life, one mindful choice at a time.

What if your home was not just a place to live, but a living, breathing extension of your very essence? Inspired by the poignant words of Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet," I, Lisa Hopkins, invite you on a journey through the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of what it means to call a place home. We uncover Gibran's insightful vision of houses that inspire freedom and untamed passion, challenging the notion that comfort should define our living spaces. Through his eloquent prose, we are urged to see our homes as masts that propel us forward, not anchors that hold us back, and to fill our spaces not just with objects, but with peace, beauty, and meaningful memories.

This episode asks you to reflect deeply on what you truly hold within the walls of your home. Are they shelters of peace and beauty, or merely fortresses of comfort that stifle the soul's yearning for freedom? As we explore Gibran's poetic call to live restlessly within rest, we delve into the idea of letting your spirit dwell in the vastness of the sky, unconfined by physical boundaries. Join me in embracing the wisdom of Gibran, and let his words inspire you to live in the moment, with a newfound understanding of the profound essence of home. Stay safe and healthy, and allow this exploration to resonate with you as it has with me.
