Episode 31: My Long Journey To Creating My Own Online Business
Going back to where it all started! Sharing with you the story of my career from being a college dropout, waiting tables to entering the corporate world and actually becoming a Vice President at America Online (AOL). It may sound enticing with the fancy title and attractive salary but I would always find myself comparing my achievement to others and feeling less than instead of realizing my infinite potential which I now know exists in every human being.
I thought that by sharing the looooong path I took to get to where I am today and the choices I made in my journey, I'd inspire some listeners who think they may be too old to start something new. It's my story of never giving up on finding work I'm passionate about - work that makes me truly happy at my core and gives me purpose I've never known in any other professional job I've had before.
Starting a business is not as hard as you may think, especially in this day and age. I am proof it is possible when you don't have a clue but...
Episode 30: How A Dying Pet Changed Its Owner’s Future
“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.” – Anatole France
Losing a pet is one of the most painful feelings a pet owner can experience. Some would even say it is even worse than losing a human.
For Wendy Van de Poll, losing her dog Marley to a tragic tumor was extremely difficult, but a life-changing one, in ways that are beyond normal logic.
Marley encouraged Wendy to follow her true calling -- pet hospice and animal mediumship. She then became a certified end-of-life and pet loss grief coach and opened Center for Pet Loss Grief which offers complete and intuitive heart based support for people who are either losing a pet, are dealing with the loss of a pet, and animal mediumship services for those that would like to know more about their pet in the afterlife.
In this episode, you gain a better understanding of how Wendy was led to her true...

EP17: How the Practice of Yoga Nidra Saved This Mom with Lane Kennedy
Lane Kennedy shares her experience with Yoga Nidra and how it saved her life a few years ago when she was ready to end it all. To Lane, the Yoga Nidra practice is the deepest, most profound, form of meditation she has yet to experience.
It has given her freedom -- freedom from overthinking, freedom to rest, and the space to allow more love into her life.
Because it has helped her so much, it's become her mission to freely share meditation with everyone. She is honored with helping others tame the mind, destress, eliminate anxiety and sleep more deeply.

Although she was raised a Catholic, she had a deep desire to explore the non-denominational spiritual world.
