Episode #94 What Does Your Name Mean?
When we hear a name, we automatically make associations; good or bad. When people hear your name, how do YOU want to be known? In this life, we do not control what happens to us, but we do control how we show up! Who are you when life is good? Who are you when people are unkind? More importantly, when choosing intentionally, who do you WANT to be? Everyday, practice being that person until it is naturally who you really are!

Episode #92 The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Judgement and Love cannot coexist; just like light and darkness cannot be in the same space at the same time. When the slightest bit of judgement is present, we are not loving fully and completely. The great news is--we have total control over how we love those around us!

Episode #84 Bound By Service With Warren Henrie
So often we are paralyzed thinking we don't know the best way to help someone, so we do nothing. Funny thing is, failing to take action is the only sure way to know for sure, you are doing it all wrong. The most meaningful acts of service do not involve money or any grand gestures. They are simple things like writing a note or offering a sincere compliment. Warren is even volunteering at a preschool while he's recovering! There is no act of kindness too small to matter

Every great coach know that power of a timeout strategically played. Sometimes the players need a little rest.
