715 | Emotions Only Last for 90 Seconds
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share a concept that you only feel your emotions for 90 seconds. Harvard brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor explains “When a person reacts to something in their environment, there's a 90-second chemical process that happens in the body; after that, any remaining emotional response is just the person choosing to stay in that emotional loop. In this episode, we discuss: 1) The 90-second rule states that the physiological response, the chemical rush behind our emotions, dissipates after about 90 seconds. If we still feel the rush after that, or...

714 | What is The Struggle Teaching You?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share a personal story and a shift that helps me when I am feeling stuck in the struggle or stuck in the victim mindset. It also depends on how we identify with the struggle and what we make that mean about us. In this episode, we discuss: 1) Struggle teaches us resilience, patience, and the importance of perseverance. Through the value of struggle, we are often forced to adapt and find ways to overcome them. By embracing struggle (or at least what you learned from it) and turning it into opportunities for growth, you can build resilience, improve...

712 | What's Holding On In Our Subconscious Mind
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share a message from an experience I recently went through as I started yoga therapy during the therapy I recognized how relatable it is that our body holds onto trauma to protect us, much like our subconscious mind holds onto the memories of pain to protect us and keep us safe. I am linking Lisa Bourque’s info below as she is the yoga therapist I am working with in the Southwestern Ontario region. In this episode, we discuss: 1) When there is trapped trauma and experience in our bodies, our muscles will react in a way to protect us, even...

711 | Is It Time To Audit Yourself?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share a question to ask if it is time to audit yourself. If things are not working in the direction that you want, or it is a point of frustration, or your demands are high, then maybe it is time for you to do an audit on yourself, specifically on your time and energy. These two factors will change how you show up, the energy you bring into your day and how you navigate your day. By tracking and reviewing your daily activities, you can identify how much time you spend on each and see if this actually aligns with your goals. In this episode, we...

709 | You Never See Their Actual Wins
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I wanted to share a message I heard last week and it sparked my thinking. You never actually see a person’s wins, you only see what you think their wins are. “When we fail to acknowledge and celebrate small victories, we get discouraged and the flame inside us starts to dwindle.” “Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.” “If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.” ~ Louis L'Amour In this episode, we discuss: 1) Never underestimate all the...

info_outlineIn this episode, I want to share some insights from recording over 700 episodes on this show and a combined number of over 1000 episodes between all the shows.
In this episode, we discuss:
1) The vision is for you because there is a future version of you who already has this vision, she is already holding it and already celebrating it, it is not an accident or a coincidence. You get to choose what you do with this vision. Don’t worry if others can’t see it, they weren’t supposed to see it, it was given to you, for you to hold onto. More on holding the vision in an upcoming episode.
2) It has reminded me to celebrate the journey, show the ups and downs, and how much of a long game podcasting is, it is the longest-standing thing I have done in my business without being directly paid for it. This podcast has taught me how to harness my voice, authentic voice, and how important our stories are, we’re not alone, someone always has it harder than I do and they found a way out and are making a massive difference because of what they learned.
