In this episode, I got to chat with Michelle Glogovac who calls herself the Podcast Matchmaker. She’s also an award-winning publicist and host of the My Simplified Life podcast. After an 18 year career in corporate aviation, Michelle discovered her passion in changing the world, one voice at a time, via podcasting. She works with entrepreneurs, authors, and experts to niche down, grow their businesses, and visibility while ensuring their message reaches the masses.

In the interview, we talked about:

• how and why she pivoted from a career in corporate aviation to podcasting
• how her desire to help others helped led her to where she was meant to go
• What ‘The Simplified Podcast’ is all about and how podcasting has made an impact in her life

Michelle is a natural relationship-maker, which is why her love of helping experts be interviewed on podcasts and featured in the media is so successful. Michelle is a wife, mom of two, stepmom of two, and a fur mom. She has her...

In today's episode, I give you a little post-Thanksgiving exercise which came to me from my intuition - a definite nudge from the universe that I followed. I love it when these nudges happen AND I follow them!

I used to always ignore nudges and just stick to my logical plan so I really get a kick out of following them and seeing what the universe delivers. It's always magical and never ceases to amaze me.

I hope you enjoy this short lesson in what to do to help soften the letdown that commonly happens after a big holiday or event that you were looking so forward to and had lots of fun doing. 

Once you finish your assignment, you can move on to Black Friday shopping ;) unless of course, you're an early bird and were waiting in line when stores opened today! And if that's the case, if you're anything like me, you're already feeling better because a little shopping is another great antidote for the post Thanksgiving day blues!!!

In today's episode, I share my tips and tactics for approaching and experiencing the holidays with an abundant mindset:

A few of the things I talk about are:

• how recognizing the misfortune of others helps boost abundant feelings.
• how to look for ways to expand vs. limit and get creative with alternative options for holiday celebrations.
• how to shift into a "give to get" approach vs. focusing only on getting what you want. The book I referenced is called "The Go Giver" by Bob Burg
• how to visualize and be grateful for the day in advance so that the universe can assist you in bringing the holiday event you desire into reality.

• A workbook with exercises that will guide you in identifying and implementing “sparked” activities immediately in your life.

Listen in to this week's episode as I share how I've activated so much abundance in my life with travel. I just love how travel experiences make me feel! And having those memories forever adds even more abundance into my life.

If you've been sequestered, like me, in your home from the Covid pandemic for what feels like an eternity, maybe this episode will get you thinking about booking that bucket list trip you've always dreamed of.

I recorded this episode, a couple of days before embarking on my own bucket list trip to Greece. As I was preparing for this trip, I thought it would be fun to take a walk down memory lane and share a few experiences from some of my favorite trips, along with the 4 biggest reasons I love to travel:

1. going to places I've never been and experiencing them for the first time.

2. seeing how other people live, immersing myself in their cultures, and learning about the foods they eat.

3. connecting with family and friends through shared travel experiences.
