Grief is a 5 letter word that that carries so much weight, pain, and heartache. My sister-friend and our guest, Dr. Heather Jackson, shares with us how losing her nephew (that was like her son) rocked her world. We took time to dive in to the things people say that do and don't help, ways to work through grief, and the understanding that it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Grief comes in many different ways and looks different for everyone. We hope this episode helps you navigate through your grief or help someone who may be grieving.

Many of us experience hard relationships with our mom, dad, or worse, both parents. Our guest Fedna Morency, PA, shares how she grew up having a difficult relationships with her mom and later learned it was as a result of her father's narcissistic behaviors.  Not realizing her mom was isolated, silenced, or being silent, resulted in years of struggle in their relationship. Over the years Fedna has begun to rebuild her relationship with her mom and finally feels like she's at home with her mom. 

She shares how she's improved her communication with her mom and how she set healthy boundaries with her dad. Parents have such a powerful role in the lives of our children. Parents can build wedges between parents/children which result in hurting adults or they can create a home where children feel loved, safe, and grow up to be healthy adults. 

Fedna is a Physical Assistant and a Health & Fitness Coach. She's excited about helping people live healthy lives. Be sure to connect with her on IG @travelingpa_c or email fed.atc.pa@gmail.com

It took me a long time to realize that no one could MAKE me happy and it was up to me to make myself happy.

When we get to a place that we take control of our lives and our calling, things begin to change. When we try to find our happiness in people and things around us, we will live a life full of disappointments. We also create a lot of disappointment for people around us when they are constantly feeling like they are letting us down.

Unfortunately, you create relationships based on fear and tension when you are dependent on someone making you happy. When you take control of your happiness and you create a life that you love, then people and things around you simply enhance your life and give you happy moments.

When you create your own happy life, you can then spread joy to the people and world around you. You become the victim of your own unhappiness when you don't take responsibility for creating your own joy and happiness. God and you are the only ones that can create true joy and happiness in your life.

Be intentional about creating and living a life you love so you can be happy no matter what is going on around you. Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Open your heart and be ready to receive. I share 4 steps you can take today to open your heart. Many times you experience heartache, pain, disappointments and you close your heart to love, to receive. But it's only when you can become vulnerable by opening up, being honest, forgiving everyone who's ever hurt you, being generous and kind, and having no judgement toward people, then you will be able to receive and see abundance!

Proverbs 4:23 NIV "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Guard your heart but don't close it to the world. You will become a bigger and better version of yourself. Don't allow people or things to drag you down, find good, healthy habits and routines to help you rebuild yourself!

A Business SWOT Analysis is often used for strategizing or marketing in your business. I found this is something we could use in our business but also in life. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.  Identifying each area of your business or life will help you go to the next level.  This is about looking at your skills, knowledge, what you lack, improvement needs, goals, and obstacles to help you determine next steps.

Your success and failures do not define you. Many of us allow the idea of success or the way it looks to define our self worth.  We also can allow our failures to decrease our sense of self worth. When we get to a place where we allow successes and failures to push us deeper in our purpose, we begin to live in our true authenticity. When you believe in yourself and what you're created to do, you will value yourself with or without validation from others. 

My guest, Dr. Tony Simmons, Jr. delivers great knowledge about business and self worth.  Be sure to connect with him at www.theleapeffect.com or IG @dr.t.simmons.jr

"Fire Friday" will be quick powerful words/thoughts of encouragement, to build you up, and help you get unstuck!  This is the first of many, I share a revelation I had during my time reading the Bible. Deuteronomy 3:3 "...we attacked him until he had no survivors remaining."  God sent Moses to defeat Og the king of Bashan and it says that everyone was killed, even children.  As I thought about it what stood out was sometimes in life we leave old stuff behind, we want change, but we continue to hold on to old things, relationships, thoughts that have kept us down.  God is calling us to get rid of all the stuff that does not serve us, that does not help us walk into our purpose...even the innocent things that seem like they would cause no harm!

My daughter Mikayla and I are Vegan.  We share the benefits of being Vegan, the down side (if you want to consider it a down side), why we became Vegan, and steps you can take to help the world be a better place.  As we have educated ourselves on what does into processing meat, all the water, resources, and the abuse animals endure; we knew this was the best decision for us.  We have also felt healthier as Vegans. 

Documentaries we've watch were "What The Health" and "Cowspiracy" on Netflix.  Both were very informative.

Sometimes we slack, sometimes we procrastinate, and other times life just truly knocks us off our feet and things we hoped to do, don't get done.  How about all the goals you set for a new year, all the hopes and dreams you hope to reach; and December rolls around and you find yourself stuck? Well it ain't over til it's over!  

I will coach you through setting goals you can accomplish before the end of the year.  Don't give up on 2020, there's still time.  Write down those goals, dreams, and passions you had for 2020 that didn't get done.  Are they SMART Goals? Identify limiting beliefs you may have that will keep you from accomplishing them.  Complete the easiest ones first. Celebrate! And do it again!

Feel free to share goals you want to accomplish, I'd love to help you stay accountable in completing them.  Email karivazquezco@gmail.com or DM me on IG @karivazquezco

Over the past 10 years, the Coaching Industry has grown tremendously! There is a coach available for almost anything you can think of: Life Coach, Strategy Coach, Business Coach, Author Coach, Parent Coach, etc.  Dr. Tony Simmons Jr. and I discuss understanding what a Coach is and isn't, the benefits of having a Coach, how to find the right Coach, and get the results you are looking for, these are all important when hiring a Coach.  When (not if because we all get here) you feel stuck, unmotivated, lacking confidence, and trying to meet a goal in a specific timeframe, a Coach will get you where you want to be.  

Understanding the difference between a Coach, a Therapist, and Consultant is key when considering your needs.  This episode will help you know which one is right for you and you may have more than one. However, they all play different roles, have different skills, and levels of education. 

If you have any questions on how to hire a good coach, reach out to me at karivazquezco@gmail.com or Dr. Tony Simmons Jr.  His website is https://www.theleapeffect.com

Happy 1 Year Anniversary To The Rebuilding Relationship Podcast! I am taking it back to the beginning and talking about forgiveness, faith, and love.  When you are forgiving to everyone who has ever hurt you, your life begins to change.  Faith walks hand in hand with forgiveness, sometimes we have to trust and believe that forgiveness is the right thing to do, even if we don't feel like it. And when we become Love, instead of just wanting to 'feel' love, your life is transformed!
