How much time do you spend on social media? Like most people we have a love/hate relationship with these on-line spaces. These platforms affect every area of our lives - especially our relationships and our self-image. Many of us have strong opinions about social media and how we use it. Our opinions and views can polarize us. We certainly don't have all the answers for you on this week's episode. We disagree on this topic at points as well. It's a massive topic to discuss in one podcast. We feel it deserves our attention. We look at the positive...

Episode 40 | The Topic We Tried to Avoid with guest Ash Ahern
When we started Reframe Your Life we created a topic list. We decided against the topic of personal finances. We weren’t sure we wanted to go there. It felt like it was too personal and specialized for us to explore. Plus, we didn't really want to talk about our money attitudes.And then Jo-Anne discovered Ash Ahern. She is an International Speaker, Money Mindset and Fulfillment Coach, and Chief Expansionist at The Expansion Project.We were curious and invited her to record an episode. We are glad we did!

Episode 39 | Courtney Carver on the many benefits of living simply
The topics of minimalism, decluttering or living simply are really on trend. They aren't new topics although there appears to be a resurgence of people writing about the merits of living with less. For example, Marie Kondo's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up has sold over 1.5 million copies and is in its 55th printing. You probably own it! The Minimalist's documentary was the most popular documentary in the US last year and is now available on Netflix. It seems clear, we are all feeling a need to reframe the stuff in our lives!We are excited to have one of...

Episode 35 | How the moon can help you thrive with Ezzie Spencer
Last week we talked about coaching and mentoring. One of the things a coach can do is help you deal with the fear and negative thinking that holds you back. We share the same challenges as everyone else with sabotaging self-doubt. We have learned to push through those voices in our head. So, when Sandy heard Ezzie Spencer interviewed on one of her favourite podcasts, she decided to ignore that 'we are too small to have her on our program' voice. Last fall we reached out to Ezzie and were delighted she agreed to be on our podcast. Since then o...
