Most of us have experienced or will experience a breakup in our lives and too many experience divorce.  How we handle and process this difficult time will determine how long we struggle with it.  

Do these things if you are going through a breakup or divorce and you will come out on the other end of it more powerful than you've ever been before: Unload ONLY on trusted people (God, close friend, Coach, Therapist), detox/cleanse your mind, heart, and home, process by taking time to be still, pray, and journal, shower yourself with love and positivity, and rest and take a break from intimate relationships.

My friend and guest, Dr. Tony Simmons, joins us to define love. It's a powerful episode where we discuss the importance of protection, power, and unconditional commitment. Love is described by the world as a feeling, when in reality it's something you must become and strive to be.  Love is also something you do and act on. Listen to how we have coached clients on this topic and how we apply the true embodiment of love.

In this episode I share 4 steps you can take now to begin to heal from hurt, pain, and disappointments.  

1. Identify who, what, when, where, why, and how! Journal, write it out, talk it out...so you can work it out. 
2. Forgive! The first chapter of my book I talk about about forgiveness and you can get it for free.  Go to my website to get your free copy www.karicompany.com.  Also Episode 6 is all about forgiveness. 
3. Process!  Understand why and what has happened is important.  Have a support system whether it's family, friend, therapist, or a coach...get plugged in to someone. Letting go and declutter your life of what holds you down. And REST! Find time to be alone and have quiet time.  
4. Shift! Don't stay stuck in the same place.  Shift your thinking, shift your body, shift your plans.  Learn from this time, practice gratitude, hold on to your faith, and think positive thoughts.  Staying stuck on the problem or negative will only give you just that. 

Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 

Many have struggled during this pandemic, many have died to this virus and violence to the black community.  But many have also come together, in love and compassion.

Restore yourself and continue to love and parent after your child has rocked your world. My guest, Lindsay Leiviska, a Homeschool & Parent Coach, shares with us her journey and struggle to having more children, experiencing loss, adopting, and having this child turn her world upside down. She shares how she overcame the struggle of having a challenging, strong willed child, and more importantly overcame the shame and sadness she felt.  

Having a child that caused extreme anxiety and stress to their home and family, because of his own inner struggle with severe anxiety, was a blessing in disguise.  As moms, we can get struck in the box of perfection and what a good home or a good mom looks like, and we can't be who God has called us to be - different.  And when we are blessed with a child that has to endure testing, evaluations, diagnosis, and medication, something happens on the inside of us, our hearts are ripped opened to a world we would have never seen otherwise. 

Lindsay helps moms everyday with these struggles, her website is www.aheartforallstudents.com where you can find all her resources and connect with her.

RISE above the chaos and rebuild yourself! I share how I'm taking this time of uncertainty and beginning to rebuild me.  Situations and moments in our lives can cause us to shift and lose focus, there are times that we are completely torn down by circumstances.  We must rise up and keep going and growing.

1. Reset: spiritually, routines, goals, and space
2. Investigate or Research: what got you here and what do you need to not be back here again
3. Save the good, let go of the bad and learn from it
4. Elevate yourself and others: create a list of things, people, and places that help you rise and you can help rise

Don't let current circumstances control you, the Corona Virus (COVID - 19) will pass, we will get over this time, we will recover. Same goes for any other situation that may be bringing you down.  The question is how will you come out of it, what will you learn, what will you and others remember from this time?  "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Benjamin Franklin. So plan your way to the top and bring as many people as you can with you, then you won't be lonely up there :)

I had the honor of speaking with my guest Michael about grief and how he turned tragedy into triumph.  He is a single father to 4 special needs kids, he lost his beautiful wife last summer to a motorcycle accident, but he found the strength to come out of a dark place.  He refused to let the death of his wife of 16 year, be in vain. After going from 250lbs to 207lbs in 30 days, from having no desire to eat after losing his wife, he knew something had to change if he was going to live and care for his children. 

Michael shares his journey how he went from finally buying their dream home, being a successful business owner, and a great father to losing his dream wife and doing it all alone.  He now empowers others to find the strength to move forward and not just survive, but thrive in their life, fatherhood, and business.  This is a powerful episode on we can chose how to grieve and grief does not have to control us. Mourning is necessary and part of healing. When we recorded this episode it was his wife, Viviana's Birthday and the anniversary of when he proposed to her.  So Michael honored her life today, by sharing their story of love. Happy Birthday In Heaven, Viviana!

While I am no doctor or therapist, I have learned a few things along the way about anxiety and depression.  One of the biggest lessons I've learned and witnessed is that if you don't control it, it will control you.  

I want to help you identify the SEASONS in your life where anxiety or mental shifts occur in your life, when you feel downward spirals, and you struggle to get a handle on it.  First, always seek help when you need it, from a professional, I always lead with this.  As a Coach, I love helping people move forward and find solutions so they can accomplish their goals. 

Here are some steps to help reduce or eliminate anxiety and feelings of depression: Say A Prayer, Exercises: Deep Breathing and Movement, Anchoring - an action that elevates your mood like clapping, fist pump, and affirmations (say I’m amazing, worthy, etc, shoulder up/back, learned some of this from Tony Robbins), Senses - 5 Senses to ground: touch cold water or ice, smell diffuser or candle, eyes/see funny video or things that make you happy, taste something healthy and good, listen to music (consider no words) instrumental, Oasis of a Health Environment- Eat healthy, take vitamins, water, have a peaceful space, lights, Numbers Game - Count Backwards (as Mel Robbins teaches), count your blessings/gratitude, and Scripture Memorization/Meditation- repeat/recite ie: 2 Timothy 1:7 - For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Take your time, try some, try one, try all...do what helps you get your life back.  Finally, do an assessments of things or people that trigger you and determine next steps.

My new book, ReCreate Your Love, will be released on 1/20/20. I wrote this book to help people transform love in their lives. I spent decades trying to figure out why I kept experiencing struggles and challenges in marriage and relationships.  As I peeled back the layers, this is what I found helped me create true unconditional love in my life, and I pray it will do the same for you!

This book is a love guide that prompts you to dig deep to find your answers and helps you create deep, true love and understanding.  As you read and write out your thoughts and feelings, you will gain a greater understanding of what works and what does not.  I encourage you to declutter your love and relationships, keep what works and get rid of what doesn't.

If you have had a baby, gone through a pregnancy and labor, the examples I use in this episode on "How To Push Through The Labor Of Love" will resonate with you.  Even if you have not had a baby, we have all carried something or someone at some point in our lives. If I had to take one key point out of this episode, it would be this, we must all deliver somehow, somewhere, at some point. 

The first step to pushing through is to identify what you are expecting.  Are you carrying a book inside you, a business idea, a loved one who needs to regain strength?  There are times that someone may be carrying us, as we need to regain our strength back, as we go through our low.  

You then want to understand what the development or growth period will look like.  This is a time that nourishment needs to take place, for yourself and the business idea, book, or loved one you're helping.  This period of time you need to protect this person or thing.  Like a baby in the womb, it's protected and cared for through a women's body. There is a small circle of people who help during this time, they specialize in certain areas, and these resources need to be utilized.  Don't try to do it all yourself when you can and need help.

I started writing my new book, ReCreate Your Love, a little over a year ago.  I've had a wonderful Coach help me get over many hurdles, I had an editor, a cover designer, and I've hired 4 formatters (yes FOUR). 

The 3rd phase or trimester, is a preparation phase.  This is a time for training, learning, and taking action.  As I was writing my book, I had a lot to learn about self-publishing.  Taking action is key: action produces traction!

Finally, the day comes when you deliver your baby, your business, your book, your renewal of love.  This delivery date comes with pain and struggle many times, but it's worth it in the end and it makes you stronger. Best of all, you give a gift to yourself and the world.  So push through the labor of love!

In order to have a strong marriage and strong relationships, you need clear 20/20 vision on what you want in your life, you goals, hopes, and dreams.

I share 4 steps that have help my clients and I to have clear vision.

1. Write out all your thoughts, vision, hopes, dreams. Do a brain dump in a journal or a piece of paper. Set up categories to organize your thoughts.

2. Write a Mission and Vision Statement.  Think about what's important to you, what do you want your legacy to be, and what do you want to live by? 

3. Decide what aligns with what you want in life, what aligns with your Mission and Visions Statement.  Decide what doesn't align and remove it from your life. 

4. Share your statements, your goals, hopes, dreams with your spouse and those close important relationships. Sharing your thoughts gives you accountability and support. 

When you're unclear, this bring uncertainty and a lack of control.  Take the  next few days to prepare to launch into 2020 with 20/20 Vision!

Be sure to visit my website for all the latest on my podcasts, events, and services!  My book, ReCreate Your Love, is available for pre-order on Amazon by 12/20/19. Go to www.passion4visions.com for more information!  

As I take time to reflect on 2019 and what I felt was missing most, it was time and energy.  As I dug deeper and asked myself why, the answer I got for myself was, "I lacked will power to stay committed to the things that give me time and energy!"  So as I created this list of what would give me time and energy, this is what came to me: rest is so important and fuels the body, what you put into your body fuels you, exercise is another source of energy, and time with God, meditation, and prayer will give you both time and energy each day.  

When you don't do each of these things that essentially fuel you, you begin to lose time because of lack of energy.  It's interesting how one will affect the other.  When you fuel your body and start your day off right and end you day right...you will increase the likelihood that the time in the middle will be more productive.  

Take the 1st of each month to plan and prepare as if it was the new year!  Know yourself, know what schedule works best for you, and don't do something because it works for others.  I encourage you to listen to this episode and every episode, take from it what works for you and leave what doesn't.

We experience many failures in life but many times through these failures we find purpose, we find calling, we find where we were destined to be. Walter Virgil Jr. shares his amazing story of being one of the Top 10 Quarterbacks in the State of NJ out of High School to pushing dead bodies to a hospital morgue. However, he believed God had a purpose for his life.  Part 1 he spoke about God's destiny...he was in different places and situations where he failed but it was all for his purpose. 

Through allowing God's calling over his life and living for God, Walter has found purpose and hope.  He shares about the importance of not bringing someone into your dysfunction, trailblazing and preparing the way for his family, mentorship, the dangers of rushing into a relationship, being covered in prayer, and purpose and how if we allow, God will lead us there.

We experience many failures in life but many times through these failures we find purpose, we find calling, we find where we are destined to be. Walter Virgil Jr. shares his amazing story of being one of the Top 10 Quarterbacks in the State of NJ out of High School to pushing dead bodies to a hospital morgue. However, he believed God had a bigger plan for his life and began living as it was so.  He got back to playing college football, only to get injured, struggle with addictions, and depression but once again he heard from God.

Through allowing God's calling over his life and living for God, Walter found purpose and hope.  He shares how being surrounded by people who loved and cared for him, allowed him to begin to rebuild his life and live for the glory of God.  We were created to be relational beings and we discuss the importance of finding your community and not allowing our past failures to keep us from staying connected. 

We have learned in our personal lives how living in God's will and being in relationship with God first, has been the key to our successes in life. In Part 2, for next weeks episode we'll dive deeper into how following instructions and seeing the signs in our life of where we need change is so important.

There is a process we must go through when we experience separation or divorce to heal love hurt and restore our love within us, in order to be able to move forward.  My Guest, Elisabeth Parsons, is a Separation Coach and we had a great conversation about separation and divorce, and how sometimes, that’s the only way to find true happiness.

Going through a separation or divorce requires a time to heal. That healing which ultimate leads to happiness takes time, requires forgiveness, and humility. We talk about how children are affected both by staying in unhealthy or toxic relationships and leaving. 

Ultimately, self-love is key to be whole and be able to move on to a healthy, happy relationship. Toxic relationships never need to be accepted or tolerated and sometimes making the decision to leave is hard but necessary for your wellbeing.  No one gets married and hopes for separation or divorce. But there are times that after you have done all you can do, the only way to find happiness, is through separation or divorce. 

We can’t force someone to change. They have to want to change. No one has to wait for the change, when the other person is not actively and consistently pursuing positive change to save a relationship. If you’re wondering how this is “Rebuilding Relationships” it’s about rebuilding the most important relationship...that is the relationship with yourself! Too many of us get lost in being something for someone else who isn’t willing or ready to love you the way you need to be loved.

As part of the building a solid foundation in love series, this is all about  how to have strong positive communication with yourself, your spouse, and others.  How do you communication with yourself? The way you treat yourself and speak to yourself, teaches others how to speak to you.  

This episode will give you strategies to build a strong foundation of communication by teaching you the 3 S's of Communication: how to share, ask for support, and surrender.

Keep in mind that communication is displayed verbally and non-verbally, so it's important to be mindful of both forms of communication. Your body language and actions speak volumes, so check in with yourself and ask yourself is your communications positive and do they have positive outcomes?  While some conversations are hard, the reality is things will be harder if we do not learn to manage and have the hard conversations in an empowering way.  Relationships break down when the communications is weak. 

I also share how learning your love languages as the book 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman teaches, will transform your communication. https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/

When the seasons change, the holiday's are here, kids are back in school, finishing school, we can have a time of chaos and stress, if we don't take control of what needs to go on around us.  In this episode, I share my lessons learned from past change in season, holiday times, shifts in life, and how I now plan and prepare to have PEACE.  Get organized this holiday season and reduce stress.

I will teach you what has worked for me...take what works for you and leave behind what doesn't.

P - Plan & Prepare

E - Exercise through Declutting, Cleaning, Shopping, and Rest

A - Ask for help, ask for lists, and ask for time and space

C - Communicate dates and times of events, set up days, and changes

E - Enjoy family and friends, the season of gratitude and giving, and I enjoy ME, my accomplishments.

And I love leaving all of these examples and strategies and most importantly love during this time, as my legacy for my children. I want to leave a legacy of love and peace...even during times that could be stressful and frustrating.  

We need stress but we can control the level of stress and eliminate unhealthy stress that is caused when we do not prepare and plan out life.
