Are you ready  to explore one of the most useful affirmations Sparklerz? That was then, this is Now. And you don't want to miss this episode. Let's PepLife!

This week's discussion centers on one of my favorite topics, the power of KINDNESS and why it's important for us to strive for and practice it in our daily lives. Both with others and with ourselves. If you have a bit of time on your hands, this would be the conversation to sit with for a bit as we touch on: CONNECTION and the impact of kindness, ACCEPTANCE and accepting people for who they are, how JUDGEMENT and EXPECTATION play into that, and the fact that it is actually kindness that makes you BRAVE. And we'll show you why. So are you ready, SparklerZ?! Let's PepLife!

We live our lives based on a personal code. A system of rules we create for ourselves, a system of beliefs. That evolve as we evolve. That influence our behavior, whether we realize it or not. Your brain listens to you. It takes instruction from what you say to it. From your thoughts. And those thoughts that you keep thinking become BELIEFS over time... and dictate your life's story; what you personally deem possible or impossible in life experience. Today's topic explored the nature of how our beliefs develop, what the process looks like, and how to overcome limiting beliefs for personal growth and happiness. Are you ready, SparklerZ? Let's PepLife!

We do this to each other all the time, but most of us have no idea we're doing it. In today's episode we break down the concept of... Emotional Projection. Because if you've ever heard the saying, "People tell you who they are; believe them." It's true. They do it moment to moment, and we discuss how YOU could helpfully start SEEING IT! And also learn about yourself in the process so you can teach people how to treat you. Because you can! And with the state of this global pandemic that's affecting most of our lives around the world right now, we have some time of reflection; a chance to consider opening our minds to a new way of thinking about how we interact with each other.  So, are you ready, SparklerZ? Let's PepLife!

I've always loved the saying, "When everything's uncertain, anything is possible." But as many of us find ourselves in various states of uncertainty and self-isolation around the world, navigating a roller-coaster of pandemic life adjustments... creating healthy life habits is now more important than ever to help us be productive at home, or whatever the new normal that we have to face looks like. Where do we even start? And how do we form "habits" anyway? With helpful tips and fitness expertise from our special guest, GymBug Maddi Dombroski, find your Quarantine SPARK and start creating healthy lifestyle habits with us on this week's Episode!

When you don't know, you ASK. It sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how many of us just... don't do it. Don't ask. Don't think about the power and the value of a simple question, or can't work up the courage to reach into the unknown. At a time when so many of us are facing a great deal of unknown every day, as a result of this global pandemic for example, I though it would be fitting to revisit an insightful conversation recorded on a recent trip to California. Featuring special guest Alexander Hoffman, physicist and brainiac extraordinaire, discussing the power of asking questions... are you ready, SparklerZ? Let's PepLife!

The topic of today's episode might sound... surprisingly simple. At First. But I'd like to encourage you to think about it. Think about YOU. The TREASURE that is YOU... and the things you are good at. Over the course of the next hour, as most of us around the world are facing a "new normal" doing all we can to stem the spread of a global pandemic, we hope you find value in this fascinating conversation we had on how to best use your time... and the meaning of worthwhile focus tapping into the treasure that is you. Are you ready, SparklerZ? Let's PepLife!

It's Valentine's Day today and what better way to celebrate than with an in-depth discussion about... the essence of connection and relating to one another. Today's episode explores the concept of EMPATHY. How it differs from "Sympathy" according to renowned social researcher Brene Brown.
