109: How to Swim in a Sea of Negativity | #walkwithme

ALIVE by Design

About This Episode: This episode was inspired by the following analogy: “An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, the negativity of the world can’t put you down unless you allow it to get inside you.” All of us in some way have to deal with negativity, so the question then is: What can we do about it? In this #WalkWithMe episode, I share why if you really knew the power of negative thoughts, you would never think a negative thought. I offer 7 simple tools to use when they come. *** Subscribe to the...

ALIVE by Design

About This Episode: Rejection hurts, no matter who you are, where you’re from or how ‘successful’ you may be. We all feel ‘rejected’ at times, which can impact us.

ALIVE by Design

About This Episode: As a parent, it’s never fun to see your child fall.

About This Episode: “Where there is no VISION, the people perish.” – Proverbs 29:18 We’ve all been told at some point in our life that it’s important to “have a vision” for where we want to go.

In this #WalkWithMe episode, I share a SHIFT on how to create a personal VISION that will instantly change the energy and intention you bring into every day. *** Subscribe to the ALIVE by Design podcast on: ...

102: Resistance is your POWER | #walkwithme

ALIVE by Design

About This Episode: How does breaking a long and sharp wood arrow with your neck sound to you?
