In this episode, I talk about how I was trying to decide on whether or not to get a new car and realized I was coming from a lack mindset instead of an abundant one. I walk you through how, once I realized I was doing this and stepped into abundance, so much more abundance was returned to me - more than I had ever anticipated!

I also share all of the things I've learned and love about my new Tesla and the experiences I've gotten that I would have missed out on if I had stayed in my lack mindset and hung on to my 9 year old SUV.

- the crazy different experience of trading in my car, of purchasing a Tesla, and of financing it - all of which are extremely different from the way I've done these things in the past!

- the adjustment of going from a gas to electric car,

- the confidence I've gained from learning something that is totally different from what I've done for almost 50 years,

- the fun and pleasure I'm getting from having my Tesla and how happy it makes me feel every time ...

In her TEDx Talk, “The Unstoppable Power of Letting Go” that has million views on YouTube, she shares her own difficult journey of letting go to successfully move forward. That experience led her to write her best-selling book, Big Wild Love: The Unstoppable Power of Letting Go for the many people who reached out to her from all over the world for advice and inspiration after watching her TEDx Talk.

Jill studied improvisational comedy at the famous Second City Training Center in Chicago, wrote a popular blog called “Diary of a Writer in Mid-Life Crisis” for the former Wild River Review magazine, and let go of just about everything to be written about in Shape Magazine—12 times—as part of a year-long assignment to doc...

In this episode I read an excerpt from Sarah Ban Breathnach's book "Simple Abundance" which has been one of the most amazing gifts I've given myself this year.

It is filled with incredible nuggets that give opportunities for new perspectives on all of the abundance that is around us and is unseen in so many of our moments. 

This one hit me in the heart AND the gut, and when that happens, I know it's something I need to share with others.

If you are reading this book as it's designed - an excerpt a day for 365 days - then you haven't come upon this one yet so I apologize for reading ahead of you BUT I thought giving this soul-stirring perspective a whole week to percolate in our thoughts would be a good thing. It's definitely one of the most powerful and jarring excerpts of the whole book.

I'd love for you to send me a DM (direct message) on social media (links are below) and let me know what you thought of this episode. Did it shift anything for you?

My guest this week, Jackie Armstrong, describes herself as a full-of-life wife, empty nester mom, and grandmother, and passionate promoter of personal growth for herself and all women. She is the creator of “Vision Board by Design” Workshops and Your Dream Recovery Specialist. 

Jackie has been empowering women by examining their story, extracting lies, excavating their truest self, exit with the dreams & desires, and helping them execute on their dreams & desires to experience a more fulfilled life. She believes that we can recover our own dreams and desires after the kiddos are gone and pursue them! And that we are NEVER too old!

In this interview, we talk about motherhood and being an empty nester. She told me that she was excited as a young mom to think she’d only be 40 when her daughter graduated from high school, but when the time came and all the dust settled of her daughter’s exit, she found herself not knowing what she truly wanted to do with the rest of her life or even f...

This is a subject I'm super passionate about because what I came to realize late in life is that WE ARE HERE TO USE OUR GIFTS!!! It's why we came here! So finding our gifts is the most important thing we must do in order to live from our most authentic place and serve the world in the best way possible.

And we mustn't confuse our skills with our gifts! There may be parallels but I've found my gifts are more about the actions and behavior I enjoy and not something I'd find in a job description.

Once you know your gifts, then it's time to get creative in how you can use your gifts to help others. Don't say you're not creative like I did!!! You ARE VERY creative! You just aren't accessing source for help...

The Force IS with you so get quiet, spend time in thoughtful solitude, stop the noise around you, and start listening for the signs from the universe that will guide you. Follow what FEELS GOOD even if it doesn't make sense quite yet.

Be open to the possibilities and believe in ...

 My guest for this week’s episode is Emyrald Sinclaire, an intuitive guide and spiritual mentor who helps women to connect with the true desires of their heart, offering them the courage and accountability to follow through and take action on their dreams and giving them the practical tools in order to manifest the love of their lives and the life of their dreams.

Emyrald and I had a great conversation. She shared how she started listening to source, her heart and her spirit and how  her gifts unfolded so that now she gets to  use those gifts to live her passion as a Spiritual Life & Manifestation Coach. 

We also talked about how she came up with her name (interesting story about spiritual alignment!) and why she packed everything up and hit the road 3 months ago and is now living a nomadic lifestyle!

Emyrald believes that the ONLY THING holding you back from everything you desire (the relationship, the money in the bank account, or the dream job) is the belief system that you ca...

I can't think of anything that makes me feel more abundant than a wedding! And I got to attend one last weekend!!!

The couple was supposed to get married last summer but had to postpone it due to the pandemic. They began dating in their freshman year of high school so they've been waiting A LOOOOONG time to become Mr. and Mrs.

I must admit I was a bit nervous to attend a large gathering but I went with the mindset that I'd socially distance but if I was in a crowd, I'd mask up which I did.

It was a black tie optional event so pretty fancy with a sit down dinner and a live band. Even though I love dancing, I steered clear of the dance floor because I couldn't imagine trying to breathe while dancing with a mask on and I certainly didn't want people panting next to me on a crowded dance floor! How times have changed!!! But I did enjoy watching the bride and groom, who are avid dancers, get crazy with their friends.

When you go to a wedding, what feels abundant to you? For me it's:

I’m sure Dr. TK’s story wi...

This episode is deeply personal and I've been watching it unfold for over a year and a half, since January 2020, right before the pandemic changed the world. There have been many very dark days as it has evolved - days fraught with worry and fear by people who are very important to me and I love very much as we wondered how it would play out in the end.

I'm happy to report that we now know and, although we can't go back and undo all the financial losses and hurt that have transpired, there is closure and we can now move on.

It the story of betrayal and theft, and it is very sad. It is about thousands and thousands of dollars stolen over many years from a trusted employee and friend, the kind of a story you read about in the paper then shake your head and hope it never happens to you. But it happened to my brother-in-law, one of the smartest, nicest, most kind-hearted people I know.

I thought it would be a great topic for my Abundance series as a sort of "ANTI-abundant" example an...
