2017-04-2542 minStory of Electricity, The by MUNRO, JohnEpisode 40 | The Topic We Tried to Avoid with guest Ash AhernWhen 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!

2017-03-0741 minStory of Electricity, The by MUNRO, JohnEpisode 35 | How the moon can help you thrive with Ezzie SpencerLast 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...

We've all had that experience, we work hard on something only to have someone or something or some bunny (sorry couldn't resist!) derail our efforts. It makes us wonder: What bunnies are getting in the way of your happiness?There are so many places to find happiness and there are many places we lose our happiness.

When we initially discussed the topics we wanted to address in our podcast, this topic, was one of the first we selected. It is easy to get apathetic about environmental issues. It can take effort and commitment to make choices that have an impact. However, there are so many simple things you can do that will make a difference. There are so many listed in our episode. We put together our top ten list below but we want to enco...
