Living With Awareness & Acceptance - Laura K Roe (ep. 851) Aug 07, 2023

Show notes

Laura K Roe is a veteran journalist and editor, who, as a newspaper reporter and magazine writer, interviewed murderers, rapists, politicians, scientists, and CEOs.

By her late twenties, she had also survived and witnessed PTSD-triggering violence and abuse. Even though she wrote one murder mystery novel and garnered an agent, between all her reporting deadlines, Laura could never find the time to get it published or write another. It’s no wonder that, by her mid-thirties, Laura had devolved into an anxious cynic with declining health and a propensity to over-indulge in coffee and vino.

Laura hit rock bottom at 39 when her husband left. She had an eight-month-old baby and a seven-year-old to care for. Her job as a parenting & pregnancy editor vanished. Her mother was dying. And she had just moved back from London to Los Angeles. Little did she know that her journey to wholeness had just begun.

How Purpose Leads To Gratitude - Jade Simmons (ep. 847) Jul 10, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we have a captivating conversation with Jade Simmons, a transformative experience creator, keynote speaker, and author of "Purpose the Remix."

Jade emphasizes that purpose goes beyond our jobs or titles and is about making the best of ourselves, embracing who we were created to be, and serving others.
She believes that purpose and gratitude are deeply interconnected and that purpose is a renewable energy that brings fulfillment and prevents burnout.
We discuss how self-criticism can hinder gratitude and purpose and the power of remixing our purpose, breaking free from societal labels, and embracing our uniqueness. Jade encourages listeners to uncover their own purpose and express it authentically.
