Happy National Woman's Day! What a beautiful day to celebrate! This one is short and sweet, basically just a moment to honor being a woman and celebrate what joy and beauty that brings to my life.

Do you believe people are doing the best they can? How we answer this question says a lot about where we're all at in our own journey and how we deal and heal with situations. There isn't a right or wrong answer to this, but this was a question that was presented to myself and Sean one evening in a conversation with friends and it was a question that changed my outlook on so many things. Not only did it change my outlook, but it helped me have a HUGE breakthrough with some things I've been struggling with personally. This one gets super personal and extremely vulnerable which may make some people uncomfortable. However, that's what this podcast is about. It's about being real and sincere and hopefully helping those of you who listen find that within yourselves as well. I woke up one morning and went straight to the mic, with so many thoughts and emotions around this one question, I just had to get my thoughts out.

We have two choices when it comes to our mindset. Two choices that can have drastic impacts and implications on our lives, either for the good or the not so good. We rise to the vibration we give off in life and if we are focused on the negative, that is the energy we will attract. But the good news is it's the same case for the exact opposite. If we focus on the positive and manifest great things to happen in our lives, we will rise to THAT vibration and that is the energy we will attract. Try this for yourself, put it into practice and watch great things happen to you and for you. Want to expand beyond yourself? Manifest great things happening to someone else and watch as their life rises to that vibration. In this episode, I talk about the power of manifestation and what it really means. I give some personal examples as to how I have raised the vibration I give off and what great things have been happening to me because of it. I hope you enjoy this one!

Great things are going to happen this year, I just know it! With that mindset, how can it be any different? How often do you wake up and start your day being exhausted and lack the excitement to get out there and take life by the balls? What if you were to change that one moment in your morning; the moment you first put your feet on the floor, the moment you decide that today is going to be a great day and you put it out to the universe that great things will happen to you, do you think it would work? What if you changed just that one simple moment in your day, what do you think would happen? This episode is the beginning of a journey for myself to begin my days, every morning with that very thought. It has already proven to work in a positive way and I can't wait to see what other great things will come of it!

In this episode, Sean and I talk about chapter 2 of the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. We talk about the habits we have that support the identity of who we are and how the chapter relates to so many parts of our lives. Of course we don't see eye to eye on everything and that's part of the fun of doing this together. We get two perspective on things and hopefully you can relate to one or the other to get the most out of listening. Jump on board and grab your copy of this book as we continue to read through it and apply it to our daily lives and those we are helping in our every day interactions.

We all have a system of habits that lead us to our decisions on a daily basis. These habits are what help drive us. Our system can be based on positive, motivated decisions that will lead us to reaching goals and living life in a positive, joyous manner. Or they are habits that lead to our continuous rut of frustration and disappointment if our system is based on self sabotage, destructive and negative habits. Sean and I dive into the first chapter of the book Atomic Habits by James Clear and talk about our take on what we learned from it. We both got so much out of one chapter that we are excited to talk about it and continue to read the rest! We'd love the feedback from other's take on the book too!

Part 2 to our trip to Europe is wrapped up in this episode. This one is a long one so you might want to split it up while listening. There was just so much to cover and we got lost in memory while we were talking about it. We cover from Toloun, France to Sicily and the few other ports between there. We talk about the flight home and if you listen for any other reason, that's the part to listen to for sure. It was quite the "Home Alone" moment for all of us. These two episodes were fun to make because for no other reason than to have something to come back to and listen to as time goes by, Europe was a trip of a lifetime for our family and one to remember forever. Hopefully we shared some tips and tricks for you as our listeners for when you make your bucket list dream vacations happen as well.

Our 3 week episode break was for us to enjoy some much needed time as a family, in another part of the world. It's important to put yourself and your family first and sometimes that means shutting the world out and just living life. But, we are back and we are sharing all the deets on our family vacation to the Mediterranean! We're going to share it ALL! From the prep work leading up to the big vacay, to the long 26 hours of travel coming home. We're going to share some must do's for your own bucket list and some pit falls to hopefully avoid. This is multiple part episode because we just can't get it all in one. Hopefully it will inspire you to not just dream of seeing the world, but to F$*k@!% make it happen. This one is full of tips and tricks, stories of our adventures and laughter of how we would have done some things differently if we knew then what we know now. Hope you enjoy it!
