Join me on an enlightening journey as I delve into the profound question of why we are here. In this thought-provoking episode, I explore the intricacies of finding purpose and its transformative impact on our lives.

For some, purpose reveals itself early, resonating deep within their souls like a melody that cannot be ignored. We'll explore the stories of musicians who find joy and fulfillment in expressing themselves through the enchanting language of music. Their art becomes a beacon, illuminating not only their own existence but also inspiring and touching the lives of others.

But purpose isn't limited to artists alone. Whether you're a teacher, a coach, a mechanic, or anyone wanting to contribute, you'll discover a common thread that unites purpose-driven individuals. They recognize that their lives extend beyond their personal desires and needs. They embrace the understanding that they are here to make a difference, to leave an indelible imprint on the world.

Procrastination can sneak in and steal many things from us. Here’s how I got rid of it in my life. I followed the sound advise of many people to eliminate busy work and fill my day with more impactful tasks. From there, I followed what James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, suggests to stop procrastination. I talk about what that looks like in this short video. 

If you wish to increase productivity and beat procrastination, there is a simple solution. It’s all about eliminating the ‘starting’ factor of a task by changing where the ‘starting’ factor falls in the sequence of the task. Essentially, you’re setting yourself up on advance so you remove any obstacles to getting your next task done.

Our minds are so cool. Our minds are with us on our journey and will do what we ask them to do. To overcome procrastination is all about guiding your mind to perform important tasks in a manner you create. I’ll share what that manner might look like for you in this video. 

I’d love to hear from you on this. What is your secret sauce to stop procrastinating? Did this video resonate with you? Why or why not?

Do you enjoy puzzles? 

Check out my new Etsy Store: Vibrant Puzzles! 

I share a collection of some of my favorite photos I took from my trip to South America. I turned them into puzzles! Do you know puzzles are a great brain activity? They keep your mind engaged, help to lower blood pressure, and offer a rejuvenating break from technology. 

By the end of this session, you should be able to apply four techniques to be able to live life intentionally. To live with intention means that we get to choose those things that bring us value, and focus and act on those things.

In a world that can sometimes feel distant and cold, it's comforting to realize that to find your best advocate you only need to look in the mirror. You are guaranteed to always be by your side for the rest of your life. But sometimes life tosses us curve balls and it can be difficult to get back in touch with yourself on a healthy level. In this episode of Curves Welcome, my special guest Leslie Lindsey Davis joins me and we chat about ways to nurture the best friend within. 

A little about Leslie, she’s published 5, almost 6, books, her first one being “You Can’t Eat Love: how learning to love yourself can change your relationship with food.” This book is in the Amazon top 20 in at least 2 categories since its release in January. After much reflection and experience, Leslie is on a mission to help others find their WHY to go on any journey of self-discovery, introduce them to their very best friend in the whole wide world, learn to love themselves, and live their best life.

I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve the quality of my life, and I feel after this podcast chat that I have a new tool in my quality life toolbox. My guest, Ann Hince, spiritual teacher, public speaker, and author, explains how she changed the direction of her life through the process of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping.  Tune in to learn this very simple technique that you can start using immediately as I have!

About Ann Hince:
Ann has developed the ability to sense inside her body, and release physical tension stored in her connective tissue, using solely the focus of her mind. She has x-rays to show the physical changes resulting from this inner work - including changing the alignment of her eye sockets, the straightening of her neck, the centering of her lower jaw, and the growth of her tooth roots.

Ann wants us all to know that we have this incredible power within us, it just takes going further with practices that you may already be doing.

As many of you may know, changing what is on our inside, changes what we see on the outside, so it is Ann's belief that we can not only change our personal world, but also our collective world.

Ann has a YouTube channel where she shares her journey, explains the connection between the physical and the spiritual, and will be posting videos of how to change the pressing issues of our time. Her book, A Pathway to Insight, details her journey and breaks down the steps she took to attain what she calls Insight, or the ability to see within the body.

Nutrition has the power to positively affect our lives. One of the most profound areas where this can occur is in the process of cancer treatment. Nutrition, in concert with traditional medical interventions, can help make cancer therapies more effective to increase chances of survival.

In this episode of Curves Welcome podcast, I chat with Martha Tettenborn, RD about hacking chemo using "the ketogenic diet, therapeutic fasting, and a kickass attitude to power through cancer."

Hacking Chemo Book
Cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow and multiply without a steady supply of glucose. But after a cancer diagnosis, medical and dietary recommendations from oncology doctors often result in increased blood sugar and insulin levels—the essential elements that cancer cells need to thrive.

In Hacking Chemo, Registered Dietitian and cancer survivor Martha Tettenborn uncovers the secrets of cancer metabolism, offering a refreshing new way of treating the disease with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. Cancer treatment like chemotherapy doesn’t have to derail your life. You can be your own bio-hacker by decoding how cancer works in your body…and your life.
