Where is your edge when it comes to a challenge? Do you give up sooner than you used to? What adventures are you not taking because you are worried about getting hurt, or not getting a return, or "fill in the blank?"

In this minisode I invite you to reflect upon why you are holding back and how your attitude may be reflected in your children when it comes to an adventure or challenge. Of course, there is this thing called real life where we get tired or discouraged or "burned" - the question there is how do we recover? How do we face and overcome the paradoxes of reality to reach the mountain top?

I am still taking on private clients to launch podcasts this summer - please reach out if you have a podcast you would like me to review and make a recommendation about or if you are ready to get one started!! Let's DO THIS.

Remember, Kids LOVE a Challenge - and YOU DO TOO!!

What? About What? Why? Why Would I?

A concierge said this to me recently at one of the nicest hotels in California. We were late to the party - there was not much she could do to give us what we wanted anyways. But we tipped her for trying and thanked her for her service.

When we checked out the front desk told us that we were some of the nicest guests they have ever had. I don't think this is because that is true, I think it is about comparison and the high level of expectation that comes along with the high cost of very nice hotels.

What if it could be enough? What if we did not raise our voices or our volume when we don't agree or like something? Why are people wired this way? Why is it okay to yell at people? Isn't yelling bad behavior on the part of the person yelling?

I unpack this and more in today's LIVE minisode.

Get ready to meet Olissio Zamperla Zoppe, the genius behind Cirque Ma'Ceo and a true circus legend!

Olissio's all about living healthy and treating horses like royalty. He skips the junk food, says no to booze, and focuses on top-notch grub for himself and his majestic four-legged friends. Plus, he's got this cool way of using just the right supplements to keep his horses in tip-top shape without overdoing it.

But here's where it gets really interesting: Olissio talks about how keeping your passions alive is just like keeping circus horses in the game. He's all for giving older horses a chance to shine, showing us that age ain't nothing but a number.

Then, there's this debate about whether horses should be ridden. Olissio's like, "Heck yeah, they should! They need a job just like us." And you can practically feel his excitement when he talks about Cirque Ma'Ceo's upcoming tour to Alaska and his trip to Italy.

When Olissio drops the line, "It's life," at the end, you realize this guy's got it all figured out. His interview leaves you feeling pumped and grateful for the lessons he's shared. Trust us, you won't want to miss out on hearing more from this circus master!

Want to know where I have been in the last week? In this minisode I talk about what I learned. You will not want to miss the CEO Shifts from Shanda Sumpter, who is an absolute boss, and Scout Sobel, the podcaster behind the podcast Okay Sister who shares openly about her mental health diagnosis and journey with her own sister, among other things, every week.

This is the episode where I unpack HPAs (IYKYK:) and Miracle Walks. There is plenty more where this came from, so stay tuned for more downloads streaming live over the course of the next week, and many more incredible interviews just around the corner. After a short hiatus in Puerto Rico (where my internet and credit cards kept shutting down causing me all kinds of issues), we are BAAACK!

Also - I am offering a summer FLASH SALE on my podcasting services. Send me an email if you want in on this special which ends soon:
