EP27: Use Challenges to Spark Your Heart
In this episode, my good friend Leigh P. Farrow is my guest. Leigh is a talented individual in so many ways and the creator of #piecefulpath. She has had an amazing career that has spanned many different industries and businesses. Still, her main thing in life is empowering individuals to lead their lives with creativity, innovation, transformation, and results. Leigh is a great wife, fur mom, author, and speaker, and she runs a series called Animated Wisdom; and she is driven to inform, inspire, and ignite people’s passion on their leadership journey.
EP26: Channel Courage to Say YES
I had two monumental events in the span of five days; we got Trooper, and I sent the unedited manuscript version of my book Heart Value to a small group of advanced readers to get their feedback.
So on today’s wise walk, we think about where we can celebrate our yes milestones that we had the courage to take in our lives. As we stride together, the questions on our minds are: What are you thinking about saying yes to that requires courage? As you commit to your slightly scary yes, did you take time to admire your bravery? And who are the people in your life that challenge and support you no matter if your brave yes goes right or wrong?
EP25: If Not Now, When?
In today’s wise walk, we are talking about where in our life we can ask critical questions of ourselves to reveal more meaningful, heartfelt answers. As we stride together, the questions on our minds are: Do you have a default question that surfaces when you face a new opportunity? Are you aware of trigger questions, those questions that come up as a knee-jerk reaction? After you accept your initial response or trigger, can you get curious and ask different questions?
EP24: Lessons in Honor of Saint Patrick
Have you ever stopped to wonder about Saint Patrick? Who he was, why do we wear green, why do we drink beer, and why is everyone so merry on March 17th.
On today’s wise walk, we are thinking about where in our lives we can ask questions about ourselves or the beliefs and traditions that we follow. So as we stride together, the questions on our minds are: Where in your life can you ask more questions? Is there something you’ve accepted as part of who you are but don’t actually know why? As you get curious, how will your answers and awareness impact your choices and actions? And how can you deepen your understanding of what lights you up and broadens your awareness of what you should celebrate in your life?
EP23: Make Muscle Memory Work for You
In today’s wise walk, we are looking at how muscle memory benefits us and ways to evaluate what muscle memory we need to exercise, develop, or ditch. As we stride together, the questions on our minds are: What muscle memory do you own but take for granted and don’t exercise enough? What muscle memory have you gained but no longer serves you? What muscle memory do you want to learn and develop today and for many years to come?
EP22: 4 Ways To Spark Your Heart Vibe
On today’s wise walk, we discuss four ways to spark our Heart Vibe and ride the highs as long as we can. There are more than a handful of ways to manage our lows and cherish our highs, so get creative and decide what works for you and post them on Instagram @truestridebuzz so we can continue to inspire each other.
The thought-provoking questions on our minds during this wise walk are: What activity, person, place, or thing sparks your Heart Vibe? How often do you compliment yourself like you would a best friend? What choices can you make to get your endorphins going? Who in your life fuels your positive energy and increases your Heart Vibe?
EP21: 5 Ways To Get Out Of A Funk
It’s important to look at ways we can support ourselves when we hit a low and are in a funk because that happens to all of us. So on our wise walk today, we are looking at 5 ways to get out of our funk when we have lost our stride and feel uncertain.
As we stride together, the questions on our minds are; when you feel out of sorts, do you listen to what is in your heart and mind without judgment? In what ways do you comfort and reassure yourself like you would a best friend? When you’ve lost your groove for whatever reason, do you stand up for yourself? What are things in your life that help you shift energies?
EP20: 5 Ways To Align Your True Stride
On our wise walk today, I thought it would be fun to share a very special guest with you, my little sister JJ Thomas. JJ is the owner of Primal Physical Therapy, the creator of Primal Performance Systems, and a trainer for GMB Fitness. JJ has spent her life focusing on the body and it’s development to really optimize performance. But most of all, JJ is a wonderful mom to my three niece and nephews, a great wife, sister, daughter, and more.
On this episode, we discuss 5 ways to align your True Stride physically, emotionally, or energetically and as we stride together, the questions on my mind are: are you wasting energy on things that aren’t helping you? In what areas of your life do you feel centered, and where do you want to make changes? For any changes you want to make, are your goals realistic and attainable? Are you open to resetting your expectations to regress to progress? How are you integrating balance in your life to support your overall wellbeing and achieve what you really want?
EP19: How To Hunt And Treasure What You Want
Today, we talk about #HeartVibeHunt and explore how you treasure and hunt those things that you want to attract in your life. On this wise walk, we slow down, check our reality and consider: what do you treasure and want more of in your life? How can you proactively go after it? What is your current vibration and how do you take time to celebrate it?
EP18: Let Your Creativity Flow with #the100DayProject
The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) reinforces the idea that we are all naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. And YOU are, just as you are!! On today’s wise walk, we are slowing down and considering ways to nurture our creative genius, imagination, and ideas. We also invite you to consider participating in the 100-Day Project to let your creative imagination and ideas flow.
