    Podcast Summary

    • UK Provides Aid Amidst Earthquake Crisis in Turkey and SyriaThe UK, along with the international community, is providing aid to those affected by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, including search and rescue teams and equipment.

      No matter the size or location of a business, BT is committed to supporting it. Amidst the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria that has claimed over 2,400 lives, the international community, including the UK, is stepping up to help those affected. The earthquake, which was followed by another large quake, has left many trapped under rubble and in need of aid. Abdul Khatib Al Hamdoh, a reporter and activist in Syria, shared his experience of the chaos and uncertainty following the earthquake. Despite the dire situation, people are doing their best to survive. The UK, through its foreign secretary James Cleverly, has pledged immediate support, including a team of search and rescue specialists and equipment. In times of crisis, it's essential that businesses and governments come together to provide aid and support those in need.

    • Humanitarian Crises in Syria and the UKIn Syria, heavy weather and conflict endanger lives, while in the UK, NHS staff demand better pay and conditions, leading to a crisis and patient safety concerns.

      There are ongoing humanitarian crises both in Syria and in the UK, requiring urgent attention and resources. In Syria, heavy weather conditions and the ongoing conflict have led to a critical situation, with the White Helmets and international teams working against time to save lives. The UK government has deployed a search and rescue team and launched an emergency fundraising appeal for aid. In the UK, the NHS is experiencing its biggest strike in history due to staff demands for better pay and working conditions, with nurses and ambulance staff joining forces to protest. The situation in the NHS has led to concerns about patient safety and care, with some patients even dying in corridors. The government and unions are in negotiations, but the determination of health workers to secure better conditions remains strong. Meanwhile, in a tragic incident, former colleagues paid tribute to a head teacher found dead at home, highlighting the importance of mental health and support for educators.

    • Appreciating the good times and being grateful for flexibilityCherish life's unpredictability by being grateful for good times and flexible resources, like UnitedHealthcare's insurance plans and thoughtful gifts from 1-800-Flowers.

      Life can be unpredictable, and it's important to appreciate the good times and be grateful for the flexibility and support we have when faced with challenges. Emma Patterson, her husband George, and their daughter Letty passed away unexpectedly, leaving the community in shock. Meanwhile, author Salman Rushdie expressed his gratitude for surviving an attack last year. Flexibility is a valuable asset, whether it's in our physical health through yoga or in our insurance coverage. UnitedHealthcare Insurance Plans offer budget-friendly, flexible options for medical, vision, dental, and more. This Mother's Day, let's celebrate the "mamas" in our lives by giving back and showing our appreciation with thoughtful gifts from 1-800-Flowers. Remember, life is unpredictable, so let's cherish the moments we have and make the most of the resources available to us.

    2081 Are You Asking the Wrong Questions?

    2081 Are You Asking the Wrong Questions?

    When you create change and impact, the knowledge you gather is crucial to the wisdom you gain. But are you asking the wrong questions?

    From a young age, we asked questions. The favorite one being "Why?".

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACThttp://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT

    That curiosity continued into teens and adulthood.

    Now maybe you were one who was a little quiet when the teacher called on you. Or maybe you couldn't get your hand up fast enough to answer.

    But what about when you didn't know the answer and was put in the position to ask questions?

    Did that shy little child stay quiet, or were you the first to jump in with a question?

    As the years pass, self-esteem begins developing, perceptions set in, habits established, and behaviors fine-tuned.

    Then inject the self-talk. What are you saying to yourself? What are you repeating when you fail versus when you succeed?

    So much of our lives are built on success that when there is a possibility of failure, we do everything we can to talk ourselves away from the goal or in a way that will soften the blow if success isn't achieved. We even interject excuses why not to do something or why we are not equipped.

    A lot of this comes from E3 --- expectations placed on you and by you, experiences, and emotions.

    From there, you formulate questions. In order to make sure you are asking the proper questions, question your questions.

    The K.I.S.S. ~ Question your questions!

    Are you asking the wrong questions?

    Most of us should answer that question with a resounding YES!!

    Because we are.

    What more do I need for this promotion? What style should I write in so that I can grow my audience for my book? What certification am I lacking? What kind of mom am I? How dare I think I could do this? Am I crazy? Why can't I do better? What areas do I need improvement on?

    Now all of these are good questions, just asked at the wrong time. Believe it or not, we ask questions in the wrong order and it all started back at the beginning...Why?

    So question your questions.

    1. What does this make possible? (Dan Miller, 48 Days to the Work & Life You Love)
    2. Ask beyond yourself. This comes from the heavenly mindset.
    3. Believe with the heart, not just think with the head. Our thoughts come in buckets. They can flood our minds in just seconds thinking we can to believing we can’t.

    You are created on purpose for a purpose. You are not going to live a perfect life.

    But you can, however, have a different mindset. It's a heavenly mindset, not a worldly mindset.

    Are you asking the wrong questions?

    Not anymore!

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    2941 More of We

    2941 More of We

    Life can get in the way of loving those closest to us, especially our spouses. So instead of hiding in our busyness and floundering more in someone else's highlight reel, make a commitment to more of we.

    How much time do you spend with your spouse?

    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co

    And would you say that you spend less time together now than when you got married?

    Most of us have to really stop and think when we see our sweethearts. And as for the time, what time is it again?

    The number one relationship, if you're married, is your spouse. 

    But very quickly, we find other ways to occupy our time, distract our attention, and lead us down a rabbit hole in our own homes. 

    It just does not seem fair to anyone!

    Yet you live it every day. You get up and do YOUR thing and forget that there's someONE in your life. You take care of the children, because you have to. But the rest is left to fend for themselves. 

    How can any marriage be awesome if that's a typical every day?

    What if you would make time for each other?

    What if there was more of we?

    The K.I.S.S. ~ More of WE!

    My goal here is to get you thinking about how you spend TIME with your spouse.

    Are you showing up with your best self, or is your spouse getting the leftovers?

    "Leftovers are great for food, not so much for love!" ~ Kristianne Wargo

    You get out what you put into your marriage. So why not show up with enthusiasm? Why not give more when you don't receive? Why not have compassion during challenges in life? Why not be together more than you are apart?

    It's hard to build a strong foundation in marriage if you're not together. Logistics do matter. 

    I want to encourage you to analyze your time with your spouse. 

    1. How much time do you spend together in bed?
    2. How much time do you spend as a couple awake and interacting?
    3. How much time do you spend talking about life, not just kids and career?

    Then from there, you'll be able to see what is happening regarding time.

    Is time on your side?

    Assuming that you fall into "most of us," then you can make some tweaks to how you hang out together. The way you spend your time together matters!

    QUESTION: What can you do differently to add time to love?

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    Why gratefulness is so difficult

    Why gratefulness is so difficult

    If you’ve spent any time around small children, you’re well aware that toddlers can be cute and quite demanding. A comedian once said that he could rule the world with an army of three-year-olds. 

    Children have to be taught to be thankful whereas selfishness, jealousy, and entitlement come quite naturally. 

    As Christians, we understand we inherited our sinful nature from our first parents, Adam and Eve. Let’s explore why gratitude comes so unnaturally, even when we know it’s good for us. 

    2644 Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together

    2644 Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together
    Unlocking your health mystery takes time and persistence. However, you can solve the puzzle and reset your health by putting the puzzle pieces together. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness! ~ Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But unfortunately, society has trained us that if we can take away your symptoms, why can't you still live however you desire? No restrictions. No exercise. Pure joy. Or is it truly pure joy? I have been battling a couple of different viruses since the beginning of the new year. Usually, I'm pretty healthy, not getting sick. But this season has not faired in my favor.  So it got me thinking even more. Since going through perimenopause and now on the other side, plus having gut issues my entire life, maybe I really need to take a hard look at what my body needs.  I know I'm not the average person which diets or fitness regimens are created for. A 1200-1500 calorie day does not work for me at all. And please do not flood my inbox as to what I might be missing. I've done the research and am currently studying real-time as to how my body responds and reacts to food, movement, vitamins, supplements, and so forth. Like any good detective, you've gotta put the puzzle pieces together to understand the whole picture. The K.I.S.S. ~ Put the puzzle pieces together! If you are struggling with your health, I want to encourage you not to give up. You can figure out what is happening and what needs to change. One thing I've been researching is the Paleo Diet. This diet is a whole-foods diet that includes only the most nutritionally dense and sustainable foods. (The Paleo Approach, https://ThePaleoMom.com, Pg. 9) Now, you have heard me say that the food all of us should be eating follows one rule: If God made it, I can eat it. But that's in it's natural state.  For example, God did not make bread. He made grains. So how those grains are prepared and eaten does affect the nutrient density of the food along with how it is absorbed within a person's body. If you are struggling with your health or weight, this might be a good alternative for you to try. As I said, I am taking you on my health journey in discovering all my quirks and likenesses.  You get to decide what you would like to try. This by no means substitutes for personal medical advice. 
    - What are you eating that is real? This is the most natural state of the foods you eat.
    - What are you eating that is processed? If it's not one ingredient, it is processed.
    - How can you integrate more nutrient-dense foods? 
    One thing I want to caution you on. You do not have to define how you eat to anyone.  I have been asked several times, "What program are you doing?" My answer (and it should be yours, too) -- I'm eating what my body requires.  Because you might be a blend of Keto and Paleo. And there is nothing wrong with that. Don't fall into the trap that you must have a definitive cookie-cutter answer.  Your body is uniquely made. So treat it with the respect it deserves by putting together all the puzzle pieces. Now, I am currently working in the preparation stage gearing up to change my body's nutritional menu. I am taking detailed notes as to how my body responds to the "junk food". Then, I'll be able to see exactly how good food affects my body. It's going to be a long process, but I know we'll both learn so many things to benefit us in the long-run.  Hope you're ready to construct your puzzle. "Train for life.

    10X Your Gratitude Practice - Mindful Moment

    Do you struggle to feel truly grateful when trying to practice gratitude? In this episode, we will explore a couple of add-ons to your gratitude practice so you can maximize the benefits of practicing gratitude. 

    You will be guided through a process that will help you open the heart space, making it easier to connect fully to things you can appreciate in your life. This technique may also be used simply by thinking through the prompts if you prefer non-meditative practices. 

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • We talk about not waiting until something devastating happens to commit to a gratitude practice.
    • Guided Meditation practice to open up the heart and boost the amount of gratitude you feel during your practice which will ultimately increase the benefits you receive.
    • Suggest how you may take gratitude into your day.


    BEFORE PRACTICING GRATITUDE

    • Think about a loved one, it can be an animal if this is easier for you. 
    • Think of a favorite memory: a vacation, a special moment, or something that really touched your heart.


    RESOURCES

    • To learn about the benefits of gratitude and ways to practice it, check out Striving From Stillness’ 7th Episode, “Gratitude: A Simple Way to Change Your Life”.
