    About this Episode

    I watched a docuseries called: Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones, on Netflix.

    I first learned about the “blue zones” about a decade ago while studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.  If you are not familiar with the phrase, it’s the five areas around the globe where people live/or have lived, much higher than average.  So basically, much higher percentages of people living into 100 and beyond.

    This week’s show and email are basically my reaction to what I saw, heard, and learned.  I’m not even sure how to process it all, but I do want to share my thoughts.

    #327: The Opposite of How I See my Myself

    Yes, the identity conversation on the podcast continues!  I wonder if it will take us all the way through to the daffodils blooming…

    So this week's conversation on IDENTITY is brought to you by an experience that I had being interviewed for a podcast. 

    Tune in to find out what happened!

    #326: When I find myself being judgemental.

    Another week and another aspect of “our identity” to explore.

    Now that I’m on to this topic, I keep having all these moments where I realize: wow, you are doing this because you identify that way… or in this week’s case, because I DON’T.

    So here’s what happened, and I’m going to kick this off by saying that I’m not proud of my reaction, but I’m calling it out anyway.

    I explain more in this week's podcast episode!

    #325: When looking back tells you so much.

    “More people need a place to feel good about themselves, to co-exist, to feel worthy of having a seat at the table.”

    That is what I found in a notebook that I picked up the other day to write some things down.  It was a notebook I haven’t picked up in some time (yes, I have tons and they are all over the place) and after I wrote down what I didn’t want to forget, I leafed back to see what I had previously written.

    #324: Deciding which story to tell ourselves.

    #324: Deciding which story to tell ourselves.

    You know I love sharing snippets and concepts from books that I’m reading… and the book this time around is: The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday.

    This book has been on my list for awhile (thank you, Jay!) and I’ve read others by this author, but as usual, this one is striking at just the right time.

    The concept of this book is not new - but it rarely is - rather, it’s being open to receiving the message at the time you read or hear it.  And boy was I primed for this one!

    #323: Having an Identity Crisis?

    It’s February, my friends! That happened quickly!

    So as I was recording this week’s show, I was having all kinds of revelations at the moment.  

    Realizing so many things about myself at this point in my life and what’s going on with me right now.

    And here’s the long and the short of it:

    Apparently I’m having an identity crisis.

    #322: Slicing the Apple just Right

    Over the holiday break, I read a book about why small businesses fail.  Sounds dreadful, I know, but it was EXACTLY what I needed to be reading and in fact, it was quite inspiring.

    In this week's episode, I share a story that the author told and what I learned from it! Tune in and let me know what you think.

    #321: Fear of Making Change when Old Habits Die Hard

    #321: Fear of Making Change when Old Habits Die Hard

    I took time over the Christmas break to take a closer look at the functions of Get Lively and how to grow as a business so that we can continue to be everything WE need to be for our community.

    And with that, taking a hard look at what I’ve been doing and asking if I should be doing them just because “that’s how I’ve been doing it for years.”

    I went through many aspects of the business and found myself getting really stuck on certain functions that frankly, take a lot of time for me to do, and that time may be better well spent on other functions.

    This podcast was one of them.

    But, ultimately, I’ve decided that we will switch to a bi-weekly show. Listen to this episode to learn more about this change.

    #318: All the Emotions that come with the Holidays

    And just like that, we are more than halfway through December…

    I’m going to keep this message short, and hopefully (somewhat) sweet this week.

    Here’s the thing…

    I’m feeling ALL of the emotions lately.  

    Yes, the fun and festive ones, but honestly, also the nostalgic and melancholy ones too.

    I'm sure you are, too. Listen to this episode as I talk more about it.
