the sparkle hour

Nicole and Michelle are back from summer break and will be resuming the longer episode format. In July, the ladies attended Podcast Movement in Philly. After attempting to share their vision with other conference attendees, they realized “We gotta get our shit together and tell people what we do here!” The experience made the ladies start asking themselves, “What are we doing here? What is our purpose? What is the thing we want to be known for?” The answer? “We help people heal and transform their trauma through the use of humor, storytelling, and Sparkle Skills.” “We’re not here to label anybody, including ourselves. What we do want to do is to help normalize conversation about trauma, so that it doesn’t feel like such a stigma that you can’t talk about. That you can’t actually share…. Know that you are not alone. Know that there is a huge community around you just waiting for you to see it.” In Season 8, you will be introduced to some really great guests who will blow you away!!! You’ll hear from guests doing trauma work the “traditional” way and some not-so-traditional!

Ah, Summer! Hot and Sunny and Humid and Hyponotic and Wild and Dreamy, Adventurous and Magical and oh-so-Steamy. School's out and people go on vacation, maybe fall in love, take it easy or try to cross something off from their "bucket list" in these long, wonderfully warm summer days. We love it! Even as the earthly season is winding down, so does this mini-season of The Sparkle Hour come to an end. Join us as Michelle and Nicole riff on some of their favorite moments of the summer so far, share some insight on the bad & the beautiful, and offer hope through a dear friend's metta prayer.

Summer 2018 is begging us to have some FUN, and we are happy to oblige. We are continuing our Summer Sparkler Mini-sodes Series with boss pal & shero, Kathleen Shannon of Being Boss and Braid Creative. You've heard us chat with Kathleen on the show a couple of times and we've loved having her on the show. This time, however, Nicole and Michelle weren't able to chat live with her but instead read an email from Kathleen on what she finds FUN.

Season Six Finale

In today’s episode, Nicole and Michelle will describe their best tools for handling fear and uncertainty. The truth is that fear does not have to be your enemy.

We can’t wait to share what we’ve learned about fear as a teacher with you.

We sing the praises of speaking your truth, but what happens after you speak up? Oftentimes, our truth is not perceived the way we want it to be, or someone else’s truth is rubbing up against our own. Michelle and Nicole understand just how fraught these situations can be. So how is it possible to speak up for yourself when you are triggered or upset? How can we respond in a healthy, loving way when we are hurt by our circumstances?Sparkle Skills are always growing and changing. Today, Nicole and Michelle want to pull out a few life lessons from some recent encounters they have had. The end result is always to gain a deeper understanding of self. If you want to stay in the Sparkle Zone, you are going to need to always be learning how to speak your truth. The ladies will help you be prepared for what happens after the fact!

That’s a wrap on Season 5! Nicole and Michelle have had so many formative experiences this season as they have given birth to Sparkle School. This season really was a bit like Freshman Year of high school, and the Sparkle lessons will just keep coming next season.Today, Michelle and Nicole are here to remind you that you don’t have to have it all figured out to give something a try. When they launched Sparkle School, they were still learning throughout the whole process! You can be a learner and an expert at the same time. That is what is so beautiful about Sparkle Skills. There is always more to learn and experience.

Sparkle School is back in session, and Michelle and Nicole are ready to hit the ground running and have a little fun. What is not so fun is that we all have thought patterns and behaviors that have been coloring our perspective since childhood. Many times, these behavioral patterns are damaging, and they prevent us from entering the Sparkle Zone. Today, the ladies are going to discuss how our brains make these neural pathways, and how we can overcome them on our road to healing.

Religion is a loaded word. The topic is so heavy and brings up such strong emotion for many of us, so it is often easier just to avoid the conversation. Today, we are taking a huge breath and engaging the conversation with open hearts and a willingness to be healed. We both have had some traumatic experiences with religion, but have found healing and hope in spirituality. We couldn’t think of anyone better to lead us to a deeper understanding of the sacred than Dr Terrlyn Curry Avery. Terrlyn loves to ask the Big Questions, and all of that questioning has led her to a deep relationship with the Sacred. Today, you are going to hear all about how our deepest wounds caused by religion can be healed through an authentic interaction with the Sacred.
