Oh my gosh!!!! I get so darn excited when I get to speak to such positive people. I feel the positive energy radiating from these women! They got me all smiley and fired up!!!

It's so palpable! (Can you feel it too?!?!)

I love my students sooooo much - the depth is indescribable in words - and watching their transformations firsthand makes me the luckiest coach alive.

I am so grateful for their trust in me, for the commitment they made a few months ago, and for the effort they've put in to do the work and apply what they've learned.

If you want more inspiration, listen to the other student interviews on the next few episodes. I'm publishing all of these interviews today because in just a few hours enrollment will close and I'll be getting focused on helping my new students get started on their sparked second half adventure.

Since today the doors are opening for the Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School™ for the first time in 8 months, I wanted to share how this one-of-a-kind program came to be and why I feel it's one of the reasons I'm here - why I believe it's one of the agreements I made when I promised my creator that I'd come here, learn new lessons, share my "gifts" with others, and leave the world a better place in doing so.

I talk about:

how I took the long and winding road to finally figure this out,

The 2 things that fast-tracked my transformation, and

the big lesson-learned that really side-tracking me for several years.

How great would it be if you could go through life knowing that everything you desire can be yours? What if you had unwavering faith? Even if someone looked around at your current circumstances and told you your dreams were not possible, it didn't matter - you still believed!

The topic of BELIEF is on my mind today because I just finished my free, 3-part training series called "Ignite Your Second Half Soul" where I shared the 3 ingredients you need to make your second half your best half and belief is the second ingredient.

To hear about the first ingredient, Authenticity, tune into Episode 182 and if this topic interests you, you may want to also listen to Episode 183 where I interview Nancy Dubé, one of my students from the Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School™. She shares her incredible story about what can happen when you are operating in self denial, suppressing who you really are and not even realizing it.

I’ll leave you in suspense about the...

Today’s guest is Gail Johnson, and this turned out to be one of my favorite episodes! Gail is a graduate of the Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School and I’m now her business coach, guiding her in the development of her own new program. 

In this interview, Gail shared some really interesting stories about her gift and the impact she wants to make through this gift. In this episode we talked about:

• Gail’s transformational journey over the past eight months
• The ‘nudges’ that she got that led her to join my free training
• The moment she first experience her unusual “gift” as a young child
• The program she’s created and the bigger impact she’s able to make with it.

Gail’s program helps people who are suffering from grief and loss. And what’s amazing is that she conceived, created and launched it in 6 months! When she began talking about wanting to make a bigger impact by creating a group coaching program, she had the...

Today I'm sharing an experience I had this week that I thought would be helpful to others: how to react when someone is critical, or in this case, downright mean-spirited.

I share my top 3 tips in dealing with someone who lashes out at you and why people may do this.

I also share the lessons I got from this particular experience that I am grateful for.

This week’s guest is another Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School™ alumni, Laura Strachan, an empty nester and a long term cancer survivor. Laura has been a very active student ever since joining SPARK School where she was able to recover her authentic self. She’s now confident, happy, reconnected with her husband and a great example for her kids.

Laura’s transformation came from one inspired action: an assignment from one of my free trainings that led to a huge shift that transformed her life. Just ONE SIMPLE ACTION that instigated more inspired actions! 

Her decision that day to take action led her to getting connected with the right people and community which has given her the sparked second half she couldn’t find on her own.She’s a great example that one small decision can change everything.

As Laura and I ‘catch up’ in this episode, she openly shares:

• The changes she’s made since first attending my free training.
• Her new...

Today is a short episode. I was going to talk about another topic but as I was preparing the episode, I felt nudged instead to share a quick update about my progress with taking action on the desires/goals I put on my new vision board.

If you missed my Vision Board training, the replay is up until 8pm EST on Sunday, 1/16/22 so you can catch it by CLICKING HERE if you hurry. If you missed it, I'll be doing another one in the not-too-distant future so sign up on the waitlist and stay tuned for when that will happen.

I also share my word for the year which is a word that my team is using as well to drive the business this year. And I'm happy to say it's already having a positive effect on the work we're doing!

My guest this week is Nancy Dubé, a graduate of my Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School™. I wanted to bring Nancy on and catch up on her life because it's been awhile since I had her on as a guest. I also thought she'd be a perfect guest for the topic I started the year with: living from a place of authenticity in order to have the best year of your life.

Nancy's story exemplifies what happens when you reconnect with your authentic self in the best way possible as she shows how quickly life can change once you recognize there's an issue and commit to doing something about it.

We walk back in time during this interview to when we first met and what was going on with Nancy when she first joined the Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School™.

We discuss the drastic changes she made to reconnect with her inborn personality, once she realized she was in a state of misalignment, after having a typing session with Alex Paulos who I featured in episode #181.

In this episode, we also talked...

In my first Activating Abundance episode of 2022, I decided to talk about authenticity because I believe if we aren't operating from our most authentic self, it is impossible to have the best year of your life.

So if you are really serious about making this year the best year of your life, make sure you tap into the truest version of you, the one that is congruent with your values and desires, and not some less than genuine version that you think you ought to be.

It all starts with knowing who you are! When you operate from that place - in alignment with your higher self - everything is so much easier and more joy-filled.

I also share a really awesome concept that was recently explained to me as it relates to authenticity: "Big You" vs. "Little You". This concept shows how easy it is to get sidetracked from our authentic self but also how easy it is to get tapped back into it.

If you like learning this stuff and you'd like to go deeper on it with me in my group coaching program,...
