EPI. 67 | The KEY to Mindful Communication | Reacting vs. Responding

Today's episode serves as the reminder we all need from time to time of how blessed we truly are. And I'm not talking about these big blessings that our egos love - extra bonuses at work, promotions, a new relationship, status etc. I'm talking about the things we don't even realize because they seem mundane and "the norm". Rather than thinking we need big news or solutions to our problems to feel blessed and abundant, why aren't we acknowledging and appreciating the bazillion amount of blessings in our life, just by things going smoothly, every single day? The amount of blessings and protection we're receiving daily by staying safe and healthy are testamates to how abundant we all really are. In today's epi we dive deep into this with a story I recently experienced and also end with how feeling gratitude directly correlates to manifesting a fulfilling life. .

WOW this is hands down THE MOST anticipated episode on this podcast thus far! I've been trying to get this very special guest on here for over a year now and I'm so glad I finally convinced him to sit down for a chat. This man is the most driven, passionate, dedicated, hard working person that I know and for that he is my biggest role model. From being a kid with not a lot other than clarity on his dreams to now having crossed off a lot of his goals and is living the life he's always wanted, Joe sits down with us today to discuss how he broke out of mediocrity and adopted his life theme of living with passion and purpose everyday to be his best self. We begin this episode speaking about how he embodied an abundance mindset early on and some keys to his success in his career, then we move into what it takes to be a better parent, and finally end with how important taking care of your health is for your character.

This episode ended up being a very vulnerable one for me. I'm currently back in Upstate NY visting my childhood home and town and it's brought up a lot of emotions. Being in the same place as so many memories, good and bad, has been triggering but also healing in different ways. Today I get really raw with you guys, let you in a bit to my personal life, and overshare (lolz) feelings I'm coping with of growing up. .

Negative emotions can creep up so fast that stem from our external environment. Jealousy, anger, frustration, irritability...We adopt those emotions as our new state of being and identity. But why? How does that serve us? In today's epi we're breaking down how that does nothing productive and in fact, actually HURT our own selves. .

Could you imagine what would happen if you just asked? Well the one certainty we do have is that if we DON'T ask, the answer if always no. This epi is thanks to my grandma who always has the most simple yet profound advice, with the title of this epi being one of them. This one phrase has truly changed my life and has given me both the courage and reminder of my right to simply speak up for my needs and desires. So often we take ourselves out of the game by negative assumptions, but what about trying a different strategy and asking to find clarity and open ourselves up to more opportunity? .

Are there things you're wanting to do in life but you feel held back because you don't have anyone to do them with? In this epi I explain why being able to do things alone is so admirable and how much more life becomes available to you when you stop waiting around for people to go with. If you're needing encouragement, courage, or validation that it is totally okay and normal to seize opportunities solo if need be, this one's for you. .

Has anyone ever told you to "think realistically" or given you any "practical reasons" as to why your dreams aren't feasible? Well I'm here to say f**k that. Nobody ever achieved anything great by utilizing small thinking. They had BIG goals by thinking BIG! The "realistic mindset" isn't the self serving mindset a lot of the time and in this episode I'm here to give a passionate pep talk to those who know that they're destined for something outside of the box and have dreams that keep nudging their soul. <3 .

I'm jazzercised up on this one today people! This one is so foundational and so important. We overestimate the value in our status, money, achievements, and looks while we dramatically UNDERESTIMATE the value in the energy we embody and the mindset we have around ourselves and therefore the world around us. In this episode I'm shouting from the rooftops how critical your energetic hygiene and energy field is in order to stay in alignment with a life of abundance, kindness, compassion, blessings, opportunities, and synchronicities. If you're looking to embody "that glow", you need to level up your ENERGY! Cheers xo . WATCH ON YOUTUBE // https://www.youtube.com/@livfiitlistens/videos .
