Woman On Fire Friday Five: Living As If
Woman On Fire Radio
Mahatma Gandhi is quoted as saying that we should “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Too often we heart of people being told to live each day as if it were their last day on earth. Personally, I’ve never liked that suggestion, to live as if the end is waiting just beyond the horizon, waiting to trip me up just as I’m hitting my stride. During all of the manic living, are we really taking time to surround ourselves with the joy felt or the pleasure of livin

Woman On Fire Friday Five: Choose To Grow
Woman On Fire Radio
Being comfortable in our Status Quo is a myth. We may feel that we are just fine because the status quo remains the status quo. We can just stay in this place, in this way and nothing will ever change. But change comes, even touching the walls of our comfort zones and try as we might to keep it out, it will prevail. As human beings, we were made for more. We were not meant to remain the same. We were made to be more, do more, move, live, thrive, grow. It's time to disrupt your Status Quo!

Woman on Fire Friday Five: Try A Little Tenderness
Woman On Fire Radio
Self-care is not selfish even though at times it might seem that way. When your calendar is full, when your life is going in a dozen directions, you might find yourself sliding self-care further down on your own to-do list. It’s been said that you cannot pour from an empty cup. We overdo, we overbook and we run out of steam until all we are left with is an empty vessel, our cup has become empty. It's time to disrupt the Status Quo!

Woman on Fire Ask Me Anything Special Number One
Woman On Fire Radio
Is Life Transformation possible? Life transformation is absolutely possible, but it must begin with a shift in our mindset. We have to want this transformation badly enough to both identify these beliefs that have held us back and understand that we must break through these. The beauty is that we get to choose how things will be for ourselves. We are not obligated to maintain the status quo in any situation, everything changes when we decide to change ourselves, for ourselves.

Woman On Fire Friday Five: Just Breathe
Woman On Fire Radio
BUSYNESS fills mental space until we feel ready to deal with whatever it is that we are “running away” from. Once we are done running, there it is again, staring us in the face until we deal with it. And there we go again. Filling space with Busyness. We are so busy taking care of Busyness that we forget to take care of business. Whatever compels us to keep moving, the truth remains that we have to give ourselves permission to slow down, permission to breathe. It's time to disrupt your Status Quo!

Woman On Fire Friday Five: Surrendering To What Is
Woman On Fire Radio
Eckhart Tolle says saying yes means surrendering to what is, saying yes to life and watching how it starts working for you rather than against you. Surrendering to What Is… Your Life that is happening right now. We get no replays, no repeats. If we don’t surrender to What Is Right Now, well, the chances are good that we will never pass this way in the exact same way or time ever again. What Is is enjoying the moment at the moment. Simple enough. Being there in the moment.

Woman on Fire Radio: No Place Like Home, Your Life In The Arena
Woman On Fire Radio
What do you think about when you think about your Arena - your life? The arena is where we go every day to be made or unmade every day. There will be daily jousts, some successful, some not so much. Foes will be faced, and battles will be won or lost. Any situation that causes a disruption or seeks answers for this situation, any unresolved issues will affect and change everything in your Arena, intentionally or not. It is time to disrupt your Status Quo!
info_outlineMotivational speaker Jim Rohn once said that “we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with”. When it comes to our relationships, we are influenced, like it or not, by the people we surround ourselves with. And this is everything, our thinking, the decisions that we make, even the way that we feel about ourselves.
But, I’ve also learned that this average should include the people who spend time in our mind whether it is the coworker who steals our ideas during every single team meeting or the ex who just doesn’t seem to understand what “it’s over” means. All of these people, like it or not, influence us in one way or another.
But wait, there’s more! It doesn’t stop there, social media has opened this influence on a whole new level as we are influenced by people we’ve never even met – entertainers, politicians, podcasters and the like – and their influence changes our perception and our stories.
These people, in one form or another, become a part of our “stories” and while it is ideal to be surrounded by positive people who bring you up and have your back, there will be detractors and distractors. The key is knowing where to put them.
As Research Professor and Ted Talk Phenomenon Brene Brown says “we share with people who’ve earned the right to hear our stories”. We get to decide! These detractors and distractors haven’t earned the right to take up this space, to be a part of our stories so we must feel free to revoke their privilege.
So, who is in your “ride or die” community?
