Who Are You Really? Dec 29, 2020

Show notes

As we wrap up the year, I’ve got an episode for you that’s short, sweet and impactful. Janet Ioli is the author of Less Ego More Soul: A Modern Reinvention Guide for Women and the creator of 2021 Power Presence Practices calendar journal. Both of which she’s generously giving away to one of our lucky Forty Thrive listeners. Have you ever seen those posts where people choose a word that sort of serves as their compass for the year to come? I love choosing a word each December . Something that inspires me to try new things and have new experiences. My word for 2020 was Connection. Little did I know that circumstances would make that a little bit more difficult. But it was a great reminder when things got crazy that I could still create connection, it just might look a little different. My word for 2021 is CURIOSITY. My plan is to come from a place of curiosity. To hear people out. To discover things about myself that I maybe haven’t yet tapped into. What’s one word you’ll carry into 2021? Pop into our free and private FB group and share in the dedicated post I created there. In fact, when you comment on that post, you’ll be entered to win both Janet’s book, Less Ego More Soul, as well as her 2021 Power Presence Practices calendar and journal. Please take our Forty Thrive listener survey! About Our Guest: Janet Ioli has been helping people and organizations make changes and maximize their impact for over 25 years.

Today's episode kind of blew my mind and I think it might really be able to help you as well.

To say that her simple tips changed everything for me is not an exaggeration.

With her guidance and expertise, I've made some small changes throughout my home to create more harmony and balance and prosperity and abundance. Today, Patricia shares how you can get that as well.

FRANGELA on Anxiety, Cancel Culture and Confronting Val Kilmer Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

Frances Callier and Angela V. Shelton are real life best friends who met at the world famous Second City Theatre and became what we know today as FRANGELA.

But what I thought would be a funny, entertaining conversation — oh and it is — became so much more. We talk mental health, "cancel culture," why Frances wants to confront Val Kilmer and one of the most important questions you could possibly ask yourself.

Our chat is lively, it’s super fun and it’s a huge opportunity to learn and grow — something as a woman nearing 50, I hope to do each and every day.

About Frangela: You may recognize this genius duo from NBC’s “Bring The Funny,” or "I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here." They were featured on The Oprah Show on the “Best Standups in America” episode. They are well known for their commentary on VH1’s Best Week Ever and hilarity on the big screen in the hit films He’s Just Not That Into You and Slow Learners. They are also recurring fan favorites on HULU’S Quick Draw.

Currently, they are appearing on The Sexy Liberal Virtual Tour, go to SexyLiberal.com for tickets. Listen to their podcasts “The Final Word” and “Idiot of the Week” where you find all your favorite podcasts.
