On today's episode, I chat a little bit about my boyfriend and my therapy session last week and how the therapist suggested I was showing symptoms of having PTSD. This will most likely be a longer series. I didn't have time to get into all the info today. Book I Mentioned: Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker

Ray's Email: [email protected]

This is an episode inspired by some private conversations I've been having. It's come up quite a bit so I'm hoping this could offer one (of many) perspectives you may want to hold around going "no contact".

Today's episode is a recording of a video I put on TikTok about a perspective I have about using the word "family" to describe spiritual communities. I present information about how using this word is typically used in a harmless way and is mostly well-meaning but in some cases can be harmful. It is also a word choice used strategically by some cults. I am not the word police. Continue to use any words you like in your practice and follow anyone you like if they use this word. My intention was to share my perspective and discomfort around it and validate those of us who have weird feelings about it and/or validate you if you've been feeling weird about using this word in your practice. Have a great day. Talk soon.

I'm on a journey to getting out of an absurd amount of debt. As a result, I'm trying a bunch of new things and this one included a tip from a creator on how to save money. In this episode, I tell you what I tried and how I would tweak it next time.

This is my first book review on the podcast. I've been postponing it because I don't think it's a good "first" review but I hope to do more and get better. If you've been looking for a book to read, this one is like Thriller meets True Crime podcast. I listened to the audible version and enjoyed the podcast parts in it. Made me wish they recorded a whole fake podcast to supplement the book.

In this episode, I reference this article a lot to explain the foundation of the belief around twin flames: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/twin-flames-signs-meaning-and-stages I also describe a tumultuous situation I found myself in from 2013-2021. **Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed in this episode have no intent of malice against the Twin Flames Universe or its leaders. I mention it only briefly to give a distilled version of why I left the group. The term "twin flame" is widespread and in no way did this group create the term, definition, or belief about. The main intent of creating this episode is to explain how this belief was harmful to me and how it may have caused emotional and mental injury to the person I believed was my twin flame. For this, I'm deeply sorry to him and myself. And I only want to share my experience in case it resonates with someone who is finding themselves in a similar situation to what I was in. Sending lots of love to everyone who finds themselves on a twin flame journey or any kind of twin flame support organization. This relationship can be hard and I understand and have found myself in a similar predicament of desiring support on how to navigate that relationship. I pray you find the love you're searching for which TRULY is within you.

Uranus moved into Taurus in May of 2018 and over a two year time period, you may have experienced a sense of loss, struggle, or isolation. From April 2021 to May 2023, you may have started to think more about how you were giving and receiving. Also potentially, how others were giving and receiving from you. You may have had to look at some poor financial decisons/debt. Some of this could have occurred because you took more than you could give back. This could have been emotionally, mentally, or physically or it came into focus how others were taking advantage of your generosity. From May 2023 - Jan 2024, this could have been a major highlight. Giving, receiving, debt, poor financial planning, selfishness, financial support. Now until 2026, there are decisions that are wanting to be made. This could feel quite urgent and you may feel a burst of energy and courage to make a decision you've been dragging your feet on or just haven't had clarity on how to make this decision because of your mindset/beliefs. This courageous energy will probably be felt most around April 14th-April 24th. If you don't want to make any life changing decisions around this time frame then don't. See a therapist. Talk to a friend. Get some help you postpone this decision because you will be feeling ballsy. Urauns- Jupiter conjunction will last from April 4th - May 7th. Rising Signs and the houses Uranus has been affecting the last 6 years and until 2026: (I've put 2 houses because I use Placidus but you can look at your birth chart to see exactly the degrees Taurus is in your chart.)

Today, I'm talking about the 30-30-30 Rule I've been doing for a couple of weeks where I consume 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up followed by 30 minutes of working out. This week, we will be chatting about: -A New Ground Turkey & Sweet Potato Recipe I tried -the Uranus & Jupiter conjunction (happens every 14 years) -the Twin Flames group I was a part of in 2019 -a new book I'm listening to Twin Flames Documentaries: Desperately Seeking Soulmate on Amazon Prime Escaping Twin Flames on Netflix Twin Flames on Wondery Podcast

In today's episode, I talk about struggling with wanting to scrub the podcast and start all over. This is something I've done in the past and I'm tempted to do, again. However, this morning I asked myself, "What am I hoping to accomplish by this?" "What feeling am I thinking it will bring me?" The conclusion was I wanted to look more put together than I am. I thought taking down a bunch of episodes, starting over fresh, and making new episodes would give me the clarity I am searching for. But then I realized, simply making episodes will give me the clarity I'm looking for and letting people see my messy journey is okay.

Flynn Skidmore's Tiktok Video, Click Here to Watch On this week's episode, I share a video I scrolled across on Tiktok that may have changed my life forever and will at least impact how I process situations in the future. The tool Flynn suggests is to use the question "What" instead of "Why" when situations occur in our lives. Thank you for listening and I hope this conversation added something positive to your life in some way. -Ray

Today is my birthday (Jan 11th) and I've been thinking about popping back on the podcast for awhile to say "hi" and chat for a little bit. In this episode, I let my boyfriend write a list of 14 things he thinks you should know how to do by the time you're 30. I go through them and let you know if I know how to do those things or not. Then, I reflect on my younger 16-22 year old self and think about all the things she wanted, where she thought she would be at 32, and whether I'm any of those things.

Hello everyone! So after months of thinking and after going through a tough time recently, I've decided to go back to the original intentions and name of this podcast. I'm excited to keep on this journey with you and I hope you stick around.

Hello! After almost a month long, unplanned hiatus, I'm back and taking a little baby step back into podcasting/putting myself out there again. Some of you know, I had a recent event happen in my family and it has left me feeling very lost, uncertain, and empty. But, I feel the need to be here because here is where I found my voice and my connection with myself and it's where I feel it the strongest. Thanks for being here, Ray

Today, Ray takes a 14 minute clip from her recent book study with Caroline and Mikayla where they all talk for a few minutes on how they are figuring out how and when they are self-sabotaging. 0- 5:59 - Ray asks is there an area in your life you feel you keep hitting a wall in? 6:00 - 7:50 - Ray talks about focusing on how she plans more for what bad things could happen instead of the good things that could happen. 7:51 -12:07 - Caroline talks about trying to convince other people she is okay instead of being okay. 12:08 - 17:54 - Mikayla talks about waiting for doors to open and Ray chats about how our brains convince us not to be persistent because it makes us believe other people are luckier and more privilege than we are so it's easier for others to have doors open. 17:55 - 19:33- Ray talks about how her brain is wired to see negativity and sadness as more "realistic" and happiness feels fake or unsustainable to her sometimes. 19:36 - 27:50 - Ray thanks you for listening and talks about the power in having safe spaces/community. Not so you can stay in that bubble but so you can have a place to go, a place to be seen, a place to be heard so you can take a break from the world, rest, regroup and be re-energized for when you have to face tough moments, people, places and situations in the world.

Today, Ray talks about fear when it comes to being creative whether she is podcasting, creating programs, etc. She lets us know about the voices and the mental gymnastics she goes through to be a creative person which she believes we all are.

Ray reflects on how she already feels behind this week and it's only Monday. She talks about her anxiety out loud and kind of pulls it apart to see what needs to be done so she can cultivate more peace around this situation and figure out what needs to be done next.

Ray talks about how she is feeling about certain people in her life she believes is trying to sabotage/bring other people down and she discusses how difficult it is to understand people like this and use her spiritual practice to forgive/understand/have compassion for malicious people.

Today, Ray introduces and interviews two of her mentorship clients who have agreed to do a 30 Day Divine Feminine challenge with her. The idea came from her community member, Mikayla, during a mentorship call and they all agreed to want to try it. This challenge is more for individuals who experience a monthly menstrual cycle so if you do not experience that then you can make modifications if you'd like to follow along. Rules for challenge: Meditate everyday (no specific amount of time) Journal everyday (no specific amount of time or pages) Follow a cycle syncing meal plan/incorporate some of the recommended foods 45 min- 1 hour cycle syncing workouts 3L of water per day (100 ounces) Read 20 pages of a book Embodiment practice Progress photo on Day 1 and however frequent you'd like to take them after (for people with a current or past ED, I'd recommend trusting your intuition on this one and if you don't want to do it or don't feel comfortable you don't have to) Inspiration for this challenge: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR379kH6/ Etsy PDF we used for Cycle Syncing $4.44

Angie is a full-time working, single mother of four.  And back in December of 2022, she left a toxic marriage. This episode does mention experiences of domestic violence so I wanted to let you know that beforehand and I’m also putting resources for the domestic violence hotline in the description below in case you or anyone you know needs help getting out of a situation like this. Domestic Violence Hotline Information I don’t believe anyone goes around looking to get into a toxic relationship, but sometimes when we find ourselves in one, and it can be hard to see it.. But  even harder to leave it.  I'm very humbled by Angie's courage to share her experience with us and I ask you give her a lot of grace and compassion while listening to her story.

But today, I'm sharing a clip with y'all from THE GARY VEE.  He's definitely in my top 3 favorite people on the internet.  He is kind.  He is compassionate and he's real as f***.  I don't not own the rights to the clip I'm sharing with you guys today.    This in the link:  https://youtu.be/KT7dBk3BNPw I highly recommend you binging his Tea with GaryVee playlist also. If you haven't heard of GaryVee, I'm excited to introduce my listeners to him.  Subscribe to his podcast, The GaryVEE Audio Experience.  He's on every social media platform @garyvee.   I hope his content brings value to your life like it has to mine.

This is the old audio description of the podcast from 2020* For those who don't know me, my name is RayLynn.  Some friends and family call me Ray.  About a week ago, I was mail carrier working extra hours, not taking vacations, and paying off loads of debt.  I was doing jiu jitsu and practicing yoga, daily.  Everything in my life felt as if it was falling in place.  I was on a roll until my foot snapped beneath me.  Literally.  I broke my foot. I'm not ready to say how.  All you need to know is when I did, my foot made three loud pops that sounded like 2x4s slapping together.  I fractured three bones going to my middle toes.  And just like that, I'm out of work for 6-8 weeks. Which brings me here...  Even though I can't drive, do my job, go grocery shopping by myself, or workout, I can do this.  I can start the short-form podcast I've been thinking about.  The podcast I've envisioned where I share content like podcasts, books, quotes, or stories that were interesting, helpful, or inspiring to me.  My only intentions for this podcast is for it to make you smile, feel encouraged, and brings in some inspiration.

Thanks everyone! Steps for today's episode: 1) Buy or use a new notebook. 2) Write Messages from the Universe on the front. 3) Pray. Light a candle. Sage it.  Whatever you need to do.  Make it as sacred and as intentional as possible for yourself. 4) Write your question at the top then write down any images or sentences popping in your head. Have grace for yourself during this process.  It may take you a week or two to start feeling your messages flowing out. 5) At the end of your writing, write: "I'm open to any messages, signs, symbols I see throughout the day."  Hope you enjoyed today's episode.  Talk soon! -Ray

You can find Brittany here: Instagram: @soulharmonyhealing Tiktok: @soulharmonyhealing

Original Air Date: Feb 2, 2022* Hello! I'm back!  So there is a few updates in this episode, such as, my new intention to publish two podcasts a week and if you like the daily episodes I am considering making a subscriber podcast.  More updates on that on a later day.  Because I will be recording less frequently, the episodes will most likely be longer.  Today's episode is all about why it's been hard for me to produce an episode in awhile... yes, I did go on a bender and watch all the Star Wars series in two weeks but mainly what I noticed was my brain kept throwing the brake on me publishing a podcast because it wasn't how I said it was going to look. So for today, I want you to figure out... what have you been slamming the breaks on?  Is there a vacation you've wanted to schedule? Have you wanted to look for a new job? Do you want to move?  What do you want and why haven't you gotten started?  Is it because you're afraid you don't know what step 20, step 16 or even what step 2 looks like?  That's okay. The assignment today is figure out step one.  That's it.  Whether it's a google search or just jotting down the top five places that have been on your mind to visit.  Do step one today. Thanks so much for being patient with me as I figure out my new schedule. Blessings,  -Ray

Original Air Date: Dec 4, 2021* Today's message is about feeling blocked. If you are curious how to open up your intuition or how to open up a space so you can hear from the Universe constantly like Ray does, the Universe has a special message today for you.  I hope it's helpful <3 Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sanchii/horizon

Original Air Date: Dec 3, 2021* Meditation: https://youtu.be/Y6QTdvbu0uI Power exercise is listed below: Warning....(Do not do if you do not want to see or are not ready for a major change in your life.) Items you may want to use but not required: Lavender oil, Incense, 3 Candles, and a Pillow or Blanket Items required: A piece of paper, A quiet space, a bowl of water, and yourself. Step one:  Go to the room of your choice, grab your journal or piece of paper, and your small-medium size bowl of water. 2-3 cups of water will do. (If you can, say a blessing over the water.) If you have other items, gather your items like your pillow, candles, incense.  If you have lavender oil, put 3-5 drops in the small-medium sized bowl.  Step two: Put on the meditation music above, light the candles and incense (if you have it).  Then, journal about something you desperately want in your life.  Write down any emotion that comes up.  Anger, disappointment, rage, confusion, frustration, etc. Leave nothing out. Do this for 5-10 minutes while the music is playing.  Step three: Allow the music to keep playing but stop writing.   Step four: Cleanse your energy.  Picture Divine Light cycling through your energy system (from the crown of your head, down your spine, through your legs, through your feet, down into the Earth).  Do this three times. Step five: Dab the water on your forehead, on your throat, on your head and lastly on both of your feet. This is a blessing from the Divine. Step six: Sit cross-legged or on your knees.  Step seven: Then whatever it was you wrote on the paper, speak it.  Say it. If you need someone to focus the energy on, speak it towards the lighted candles or towards the window with the light spilling in.  Let out anything you want to say. This is your moment to breakdown.  This is the sacred storm inside of you the Universe wants to calm, but before it can do that, it needs you to acknowledge its presence. Acknowledge it is in control. Use this moment to release your control of the situation.  You can speak for as long as you like. 10 minutes or an hour.

Original Air Date: Nov 24, 2021* Today's episode is all about taking a step.  A step towards what it is your soul feels called to do.  A step more into yourself.   This step can sometimes cause a shedding... if this happens, don't be afraid.  This is normal. In order to allow the new to come in, we have to make space for it. The old needs to fall away. Here is today's meditation.  It's for the solar plexus chakra: https://youtu.be/T9mHRpKL7r4 My only recommendation is to listen to it while you are doing something you have felt called to do.  Maybe while painting or while playing the guitar.  While decluttering your house.  Anything your soul has felt called to do, listen to this meditation while doing it. Today is all about doing.  It's about acting on the call of your soul.   Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/creation License code: NEFLQM916R1CAL8X

Original Air Date: Nov 18, 2021* Today's chat is about manifestation.  I have been someone who has faded in and out about believing in this practice... or maybe that's not the right word.   I've faded in and out of practicing manifestation. Every time I've tried it, it worked.  I have been reminded of this lately so I've been giving it another shot. In today's episode, I talk about how I do it.  I'm listing the YouTube recommendation and practice below. 1) Pick out three areas in your life: home, health, relationship, finances, job (just some examples) 2) Get a pen and paper.  Write down what you want and THEN write what is the emotions associated with this manifestation. (Safety, connection, community, freedom, etc) 3) Turn on this music in the background (or pick your own): https://youtu.be/fAtrjQ2f9ys 4) Set your timer for 10 minutes. 5) Either write a journal entry for 10 minutes or speak out loud like you are talking to a friend about the life you are envisioning.  Talk about it like you already have it or at least talk/write about the steps you will take. 6) Make it a consistent practice. Something you do everyday or at least 3-5 days a week.  Do it for about 3 weeks and let me know how it goes.

Original Air Date: Sept 8, 2021* Ignorance is bliss... they say.  In the moment, it's nice not to know.  It's nice not to know there are harmful chemicals in our food.  It's nice not to know how not exercising regularly can increase our risk of cancer.  It's nice not to know that bread, pasta, and sugar is causing early Alzheimer's.  I'm with you when I say, I'd rather not know that... but because I do, I've changed my behavior.  I do something with the information and try my best to limit certain foods and make sure I do physical activity regularly. What if I told you, you need to do the same thing with your phone? Not a secret, right?  The minute I say that you know what I mean.  You know what I mean because you feel it.  You feel the guilt after you sat scrolling on your phone for too long.  It feels similar to the guilt we feel after eating too much pizza and ice cream and fries and whatever else... consume consume consume until you are rolled over on the couch grabbing your stomach and regretting every decision you've made. Our phones, our apps, and our social media triggers these feelings as well.  For me, someone with mental health issues, I know it's happened when my behavior starts changing.  My mood is unbalanced. I'm angry. I'm tired... but I haven't been exercising.  I've just been on my phone a lot. I recommend "The Great Hack" and "The Social Dilemma" today on the podcast.  Both can be found on Netflix. They expose what is going on behind the scenes and why such great platforms like Facebook and Instagram remain "free" but they are not free.. nothing is free.   Everything comes at a cost.

Original Air Date: Sept 7, 2021* In today's episode, I give a docuseries recommendation called: Turning Point: 9/11 and The War on Terror.  You can find it on Netflix and I may do some commentary and highlights about the docuseries on 9/11 on the twenty year anniversary. From there, I shift gears and go into a whole other topic of people pleasing and how I'm struggling in some of my relationships about a multitude of topics.  This episode was made to attempt to give me some clarity and help me calm down and get some perspective on these situations.  I also hope it helps you in someway if you are dealing with something similar.

Original Air Date: Sept 3, 2021* Today I was listening to the John Maxwell Leadership Podcast. This episode in particular: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-become-a-life-long-learner/id1416206538?i=1000533961133 And I wanted to highlight something he said about being growth over growth oriented and what that means.

Original Air Date: Sept 2, 2021* I've felt very uninspired lately... I would like to say I started feeling it when Ida hit and I got displaced but it started happening before that.  Maybe I can share more about that tomorrow.  Today, I'd like to share the reality of these feelings in hopes that you can find some comfort and we can move forward together.  Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/feeling-home License code: GFU9QW6KFZMAMAFJ

Original Air Date: Sept 1, 2021* In today's episode, I recommend a podcast episode by Brene Brown on her Unlocking Us podcast only available on Spotify.  It's an episode I listened to around Christmas time last year while my foot was still broken and Brene, Dax Shepard, and Tim Ferriss have a very enlightening conversation about how they react when their identity is threatened. I link the episode below with specific time stamps in the event you don't want to listen to the whole 1hr 40 min podcast and would only like to listen to the 12 min section of their conversation.  It's worth listening to.  It's a struggle I see myself having year after year and something I think I'll continue to experience for the rest of my life.  Spotify episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3gRCgIyUFcuaciQLUkVqgh Youtube copy of conversation: https://youtu.be/J63avzY_BW4 Time Stamp: 36:00- 47:15 Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/feeling-home License code: GFU9QW6KFZMAMAFJ

Original Air Date: Aug 31, 2021* Today's episode is just a quick little update about how Blanche and I did through the storm.  Hopefully I'll be back to chat tomorrow

Original Air Date: Aug 28, 2021* I'm very appreciative to my friend, Candice, for doing this three part series with me.  This conversation felt very refreshing for me.  It's been hard to not lash out on social media when I see people being rude and dehumanizing to each other.  But, I pulled back and I reflected and chose this outlet to put some opinions and views out there while also inviting someone into the conversation that has a different status and point of view as myself.  I truly believe (above everything) the breakdown of communication between parties will be the demise of our democracy and nothing else. We have to repair our fractured structure of communication or our freedoms will not transcend our generation.  Thank you for being with us on this journey and I hope it added something to you.  Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/feeling-home License code: GFU9QW6KFZMAMAFJ

Original Air Date: Aug 20, 2021* In this episode, I give some suggestions on how to make organizing/decluttering feel a little more fun instead of like a chore.  Take a listen and let me know if you try some of the suggestions and how it went (:

Original Air Date: Aug 19, 2021* As I was on the phone with my mom as my day was closing she said, "Man Ray, you've had quite the day... a dog attack and an IRS letter." She didn't even know about how I almost passed out on my route due to dehydration and I didn't tell her.  I just laughed and said, "Yeah, I guess." Oddly enough, I felt calm. Calmer than I had felt in days... and I felt like it was only because of one small change.

Original Air Date: Aug 18, 2021* After a few stressful days (that you have heard me speak about), I finally came up with what I will be doing.  What I will choose and what steps I will take in an attempt to create the America I would like to see. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/feeling-home License code: GFU9QW6KFZMAMAFJ

Original Air Date: Aug 17, 2021* I didn't really have much to say today... I'm trying to be patient and I'm trying to see my flaws before I point them out in someone else. So, I will leave you with this quote by Mother Teresa: "Only humility will lead us to unity, and only unity will lead to peace."

Original Air Date: Aug 16, 2021* Today, I talk about these two quotes: "Once divided always conquered." "You need two sides to have a war." I've been struggling a lot with some things I saw over the weekend.  In this episode, I talk about the difference between reacting and responding, and how much I'd rather see our country united instead of divided.

Original Air Date: Aug 15, 2021* Today, I give you a list of things I did after work yesterday, what I did this morning, and what my plans are for later today. I hope it gives you some good ideas for how you can relax at home.  You don't have to go out of town to relax and have a nice weekend. 

Original Air Date: Aug 14, 2021* Alright so it's day two and I'm just sharing some of the activities with you that I'm doing this weekend in case you feel inspired to join in. Paulo Coelho, Part 1: What if The Universe Conspired in Your Favor? Paulo Coelho, Part 2: Your Journey of Self-Discovery 20 Minute Singing Bowl Meditation  Also, I just listed a bunch of yoga practices to give you something to pick from.  You're not meant to do them all. (: Yoga with Adriene: Respect and Replenish (36 mins) Yoga with Adriene: Rejuvenate (25 mins) Yoga with Adriene: Reunite with Your Body (18 mins) Yoga with Adriene: Fill Your Cup (20 mins)

Original Air Date: Aug 13, 2021* This morning, I did something I NEVER do during the week.  I barely even do it on the weekend anymore and that is... Listen or watch something that feeds my soul.  Today, I clicked on a SuperSoul Sunday episode on YouTube titled Sarah Ban Breathnach: Losing Everything, Finding Yourself It was a story about how a lady gained a fortune by writing a book on gratitude then lost her way.  I found it to be a really good reminder on how we must always focus on the simple miracles in life and how everything that glitters isn't gold.  Take a moment to listen to it today if you can. Also, we are going to do a spontaneous weekend retreat together. Today, the activities today are simple:  Write down 3 gratitudes and go for a silent (no headphones) walk for 30 minutes to an hour by yourself.  If you have kids and have to bring them, do that.  But really try to do it by yourself, if possible.  Tune in tomorrow for day two's retreat activity.

Original Air Date: Aug 12, 2021* In today's episode, I'm a little embarrassed about what I lost my patience about.  Do you lose your patience a lot? Are there some areas where you are cultivating more patience? Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/feeling-home License code: GFU9QW6KFZMAMAFJ

Original Air Date: Aug 11, 2021* I was struggling a lot with today's episode.  A classic case of overthinking some things.  There will be many more topics being introduced to the podcast and you can also expect the same content and style you've been receiving.   Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/feeling-home License code: GFU9QW6KFZMAMAFJ

Original Air Date: Aug 10, 2021* I recorded this episode from my car. I’ve been asked lately how to make podcast episodes on the fly… and honestly, I haven’t done it before and this was a tester. Thank you for sitting through the experiment 🙏🏼

Original Air Date: Aug 9, 2021* In today's episode, I talk about the fear I'm experiencing around making some changes to the podcast. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/feeling-home License code: GFU9QW6KFZMAMAFJ

Original Air Date: Aug 5, 2021* Oh man...

Original Air Date: Aug 4, 2021* It's been super hard to get through my days at work without complaining.  Yesterday I was listening to the Daily Stoic podcast and Ryan Holiday suggested this really cool challenge that I'm going to try. Will you try it with me?

Original Air Date: Aug 3, 2021* In today's episode, we talk about minimalism, organizing and questions to ask yourself before buying things.

Original Air Date: Aug 2, 2021* Today's episode is about my new podcast that dropped today called Rise, Grind, Relax.  It should be available on all platforms now.  I share what it felt like to post one of my worst episodes to date.  I'm willing to mess up publicly so you have the courage to mess up privately.  Your first step probably doesn't even require you falling on your face in front of other people.  Go subscribe if you have a dream, a goal, or a business you are trying to achieve AND you already have a full-time job that you have to navigate this desire around.  It will be all about creating the time. Finding courage. Pushing past excuses. And getting things done with grace.

Original Air Date: Aug 1, 2021* In today's episode, we continue the conversation about Eckhart Tolle's quote, "have you ever noticed you are never wrong?" We explore this idea a little deeper and I reveal something about the other person in this situation that you may or may not know.

Original Air Date: July 31, 2021* In today's episode, I talk about something Eckhart Tolle said that I would argue completely changed my life. Here's the episode in case you want to listen:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3u3v3UEZR9rZobYFbWxMVp?si=WQ4alj5xSJSYNVS-DDe5cA&dl_branch=1 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eckhart-tolle-essential-teachings/id1458654443?i=1000524910145

Original Air Date: July 30, 2021* Today, I share one of my favorite quotes that help me through the hardest of times. “The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience. (p.9)” The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson.

Original Air Date: July 29, 2021* Today's episode is short and sweet. I just want you to ask yourself one question today, "What can I do to bring more joy into my day today?"

Original Air Date: July 28, 2021* Recently, I had an episode of not just anger... but rage.. Literally was plotting ways to ruin someone's life.  I know, not my finest hour.  But hey, if people want you to treat them better shouldn't they act better? Personally, I came to my senses and realized that punching people in the face or ruining someone's life wasn't the answer.  All in all, I saw how revenge could make me just like the human that was pissing me off. In this episode, I present some suggestions as to why we may be angry and what we can do to help ourselves in these situations.

Original Air Date: July 25, 2021* Today, I talk about denial versus gratitude and positive thinking. 

Original Air Date: July 24, 2021* Today I was just trying to having a casual conversation about how I want to prioritize my family more.  A spider ended up being my co-host. Good times were had.

Original Air Date: July 23, 2021* Today's episode was inspired by a conversation between Russell Brand and Julia Cameron. Click here for the episode. Julia Cameron is the author of The Artist's Way (book link here.) I have been practicing a style of journaling called the Morning Pages for over 1.5 years now and all of my best ideas have come from dedicating 20-30 minutes to think practice every morning. Here is a short article in case you are interested in doing the practice and not the whole 12 week program. Morning Pages - A Clearer Mind, Better Ideas & Less Anxiety In this episode, I explore the idea around are we lazy or are we afraid to launch that business or create that blog or podcast? I would love to know your thoughts. 

Original Air Date: July 22, 2021* This episode has been published and can be heard everywhere your podcast is available. So, have you ever started a really good habit and then 3 months later you realized you stopped? On what days do we stop?  When do we go from doing something every day to waking up and realizing we haven't done it in a week or a month or a year?  I wanted to share with you the day I had and how I feel like this could have easily turned into "the day" I stopped a habit I've been cultivating.  Thanks for tuning in.

Original Air Date: July 20, 2021* Today's Wellness Wednesday episode is a little different... instead of spouting facts, I ask you a question.

Original Air Date: July 19, 2021* In today's episode, I share a frustrating situation and how I was trying to stay mindful and aware of my stories that were aiding to my frustration while I was going through it.   

Original Air Date: July 16, 2021* "Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are tired as opposed to well-rested. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret."

Original Air Date: July 18, 2021* Third Agreement: Don't Make Assumptions. "Find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama.  With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life."

Original Air Date: July 16, 2021* "Nothing others do is because of you.  What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering." 

Original Air Date: July 15, 2021* Over the next few days, I will be reading each of the four agreements and chatting about them.  Here's the link for the book on Amazon.  I highly recommend you grab a copy.  https://www.amazon.com/Wisdom-Four-Agreements-Mini-Book/dp/088088990X/ref=sr_1_7?crid=G8GB5NDMV766&dchild=1&keywords=the+four+agreements&qid=1626384502&sprefix=the+four%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-7

Original Air Date: July 12, 2021* These were a couple of metaphors I feel like I downloaded from the Universe as to why we are asked to make uncomfortable decisions in order to grow. 

Original Air Date: July 12, 2021* Why is this happening to me again? Why is this not working out like I want it to? Why am I praying for this to happen but I feel like the opposite is happening? This episode is about situations that are happening that make us feel like "why me?" and I share the vision and the message the Universe gave me about that.

Original Air Date: July 11, 2021* I've got this question a few times in the past couple of weeks so I thought I'd give you my tips and perspective in today's episode.

Original Air Date: July 10, 2021* In today's episode for Stir the Pot Saturdays where my intention is to push on the edge of what we know to be "true" to see if the truth holds, I talk about a conversation I saw/heard in the documentary called Awake: The Life of Yogananda. There was a conversation Yogananda had with one of his followers that summed up a lot of what I'm trying to integrate into my own life. I highly encourage you to watch this documentary if you want to experience a shift in your own life.

Original Air Date: July 7, 2021* Here is the part two episode I promised after last weeks episode (EP 208: Gut Health: Is Your Food Affecting Your Mood?).  This week I use the article "8 Surprising Things That Harm Your Gut Bacteria" to explain some of the functions of our gut, what it regulates, and what could be impacting it negatively.  Here's the link for the article if you want to learn more: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/8-things-that-harm-gut-bacteria?c=115457305534#TOC_TITLE_HDR_9

Original Air Date: July 6, 2021* Today, I'm sharing how I'm learning about how practicing saying 'no' is actually opening up time and room in my life to receiving more of what I do want, not less.   I was introduced to this concept from Lacey Phillips in The Pathway course on tobemagnetic.com

Original Air Date: July 5, 2021* That voice that says, "We'll do it tomorrow." That voice that says, "It's a holiday." That voice that says, "I don't feel like it." That voice is not your friend.  That voice has kept you from the person you are trying to become.  Push pass THAT voice.

Original Air Date: July 4, 2021* I struggled a lot this week with a decision in my life.  I truly it led to me having some sort of panic attack during the week.  I have a direct connection with God so when I was asking, "What direction should I go?" The Universe kept saying, "Either way you go, you will be okay."  This answer was very frustrating. It wasn't until I asked a different question that I got my answer and I share that in today's episode.

Original Air Date: July 2, 2021* Today is Stir the Pot Saturdays where I present and idea or theory or practice that pushes on the edges of what's socially acceptable or what we agree on as "truth."  I hope you enjoy today's episode.  Maybe next week I will talk about how we all may be living in a video game.  We will see lol.

Original Air Date: July 1, 2021* In today's episode, I get into the unclassified report about the UFO (or UAP) sightings that have been floating around in the news. My sources from today's podcast are from The New York Times: The Daily Podcast Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/30/podcasts/the-daily/ufo-report-pentagon.html Music from video by BObi PH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3iGrVrp8WM

Original Air Date: June 30, 2021* Hey everyone, so we are welcoming my friend, Meleah, back on the podcast.  Meleah was kind enough to help me navigate an emotional hangover I had last week when I share some personal experiences on social media.  I shared about the harassment and rape I experienced two years ago, how I handled it, and how on the outside it looked like I was ignoring people and outgrowing certain friendships when really I was just trying my best to keep my life together and not let those experience overshadow my whole life and well-being.  During this time, people burned bridges with me and assumed things about me that weren't true.  It was no fault of theirs.  It was partially because I didn't know how to communicate what I was going through and recently I've been speaking out about talking and asking questions with our friends and family members before writing them off because they aren't making time for you (or for me).  I've gotten some pushback around this and it's why I shared about this hard time in my life with the intention to cultivate some compassion and forgiveness for people because they may be going through a storm they don't know or don't want to talk about.   I hope you enjoy part one of this episode. You can find Meleah @visible.warrior on instagram and visiblewarrior.com

Original Air Date: June 29, 2021* Tuesday's on Good Day with Ray will be dedicated to highlighting stories about good things happening in the world.  Innovations, inspiration, etc. Today's story is about a man named Ben Lovell who lost his right leg back in 2017 and now he climbs mountains and raises money and puts on events for children who have amputated limbs.   Here's the article I read from: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/climber-amputee-england-ben-lovell-3-peaks/ Here's his instagram: @just_the_one_leg

Original Air Date: June 27, 2021* This episode is going to be a part of Sermon Sundays... it's a working title.  I'm no preacher and I have no single spiritual text I read from so I don't think they should be called Sermon Sundays, but today, I use Rumi's quote as the anchor for today's podcast:   “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” I also reference Buddha where he said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." I chat about how much suffering I go through and we all go through when we have this perception that we need to change the government, change our co-worker, or change our family members or partners.  And I do my best to point out how much power there is in pointing the finger at ourselves and making the necessary changes. 

Original Air Date: June 26, 2021* Saturdays are going to be for pushing on the edges of accepted societal mantras.  Today, I'm pushing back on the "Know your worth and move on." And suggesting or showing a perspective of a new way of looking at it or changing that language to... "Know who you are and let them go."

Original Air Date: June 25, 2021* In today's episode, I kind of flesh out this idea that I mentioned in EP 202 with Candice McDaniel where I shared that I don't define myself as a "nice person."  This comment made me realize there is an area in my belief system I haven't shared with you yet and that is staying aware of how I define myself.   I typically look at labels and definitions of myself like hats... I will wear certain hats for certain occasions or conversations but when I feel they are going against the truth of who I am or if I feel the need to show up differently in that moment I will put on another hat.  I hope you extract some interesting ideas or thoughts from this podcast.   Take what serves you and leave the rest.

Original Air Date: June 24, 2021* In this interview, Candice and I touch on a few topics like how we came back and why we stayed on our jiu jitsu journey after sustaining injuries in the sport.  We were hesitant to chat about the injuries because we really want people to try jiu jitsu but it's what came up for us to talk about.  And honestly, I'm glad it did.  She couldn't put pressure on her leg for eight weeks and I couldn't work for 3 months because of my injuries... and we still show up.  We wouldn't do that if it wasn't something we love or it wasn't something we got value out of. The episode isn't about our falls... it's about how we got back up and kept going. We also chat about why we started jiu jitsu.  Both of our reasons were very different which has resulted in very different goals and mindsets while training.  She started because after she tried it, loved it, loved the workout it provided, and found out we were good at it. I started because I needed a practical self-defense tool in my every day life.   I hope you enjoy this podcast.  We laugh, a lot, because we are best friends and I'll always be grateful for jiu jitsu because it brought us together

Original Air Date: June 23, 2021* This will be a new segment called Wellness Wednesdays.  Send me wellness topics you'd like for me to cover.   Here are links for the research and resources I use in the podcast: Lewis Howes episode with Dr. Amen: https://youtu.be/XtzZMRgz8IQ 22 Facts About the Brain Article: https://www.dentinstitute.com/posts/lifestyle-tips/22-facts-about-the-brain-world-brain-day/

Original Air Date: June 22, 2021* Today, I read from the book "The Fire Starter Sessions" by Danielle LaPorte and we chat about burning... shining brighter and shedding old truths.

Original Air Date: June 21, 2021* The first few minutes of the podcast, I share a story about my Father's Day and the relationship I've had with my father then I switch gears and chat about a checklist I'm implementing this week.  I'm so excited about our 200th episode coming up!!

Original Air Date: June 18, 2021* This podcast is messy.  I don't know that I have any answers to offer.  It probably just leads to more questions but that's okay.  I'd rather stutter talking about the conversation, saying all of this without a perfect bow, rather than keeping all of it to myself. At the end of the day, I just think there is room to ask more questions to the people we love.

Original Air Date: June 17, 2021* Meleah blogs over at: visiblewarrior.com Her instagram is: @visible.warrior Here is the link for her ebook:  https://deft-crafter-8297.ck.page/products/the-ultimate-self-care-guide-for-heali Super grateful to have done this interview with Meleah and I hope to have her back real soon

Original Air Date: June 16, 2021* In today's episode, I talk about walking boldly and terrified in the direction of our dreams.  I talk about a date I went on and how I knew this guy and I just wouldn't work out.  I also chat about how I've been saying things that have made me want to turn my head around and find whose mouth it came out of.  Only to know... it was mine.  

Original Air Date: June 15, 2021* Thank you so much for being here.  In today's episode, I tell y'all about a donation I was given yesterday by a follower.  It was a good confirmation and nod from the Universe that it sees my work and acknowledges me for all the days I show up even when I don't think anyone cares or is looking.

Original Air Date: June 13, 2021* For the podcast today, I decided to do a dream interpretation for myself because I've been getting a lot of interested questions about certain dream symbols and what a dream interpretation entails.  I also show you how I do it so you can do it yourself. Be warned, this is a nightmare I had lol. But it's all good.  I got some good information from this dream. Here's the link for the website I use to assist me in looking up multiple meanings for symbols: dreammoods.com

Original Air Date: June 12, 2021* Today's episode was inspired by a video I saw on the internet this morning.  Here's the link: https://youtu.be/CZJvBfoHDk0 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5dc3AcyayzNBShv1OhuD7a?si=4uok3J-ORXmniL9uUHJ-Ag&dl_branch=1 Here are some quotes from the performance: "It's important that everyone knows I am so much more than the bad things that happen to me." -Nightbirde “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.” -Nightbirde

Original Air Date: June 11, 2021* Kelsie and I talk about alll the things.  Boundary setting in the work place.  Saying "no" in the work place and in relationships.  We touch on how we started our self-care routines and oddly enough we both started ours because of our jobs.  We bounce around a lot in our convo but we get into some pretty deep topics.  I hope you enjoy our interview as much as I enjoyed doing it. You can find Kelsie at: https://simplybentley.com Instagram: @simplybentley TikTok: @simplybentley17 Podcast: Self-Care with Kelsie

Original Air Date: June 10, 2021* Today, I talk about the new mission for the podcast and the space I intend to hold for me and for you.

Original Air Date: June 9, 2021* I saw this question on Youtube and I just wanted to talk aloud, unprepared, about my first impressions of this questions.  What I see coming up in my own romantic interests.  What I see is serving me and what isn't.  Etc.  These are just a few of my viewpoints/experiences.  You may benefit from the rambling and maybe you won't, but at the very least, I hope it offers some kind of insight and information that adds peace or perspective in your life in some way.

Original Air Date: June 7, 2021* In this episode, I ruminate over how I feel about sharing yesterday's podcast.  It was one of the easiest things for me to say while also being one of the hardest podcasts to put on the internet but like I say in this episode, "I think it's fair." I think if I share the good days with you then I need to also share the bad.  If I share when I'm feeling peace, I should be brave enough to share when I'm feeling broken or unsure. I hope at the end of the day it keeps you comfortable and connected to me for the right reasons.  I never want to be seen as anything other than an equal to you.  

Original Air Date: June 6, 2021* This is not a part of my life I open up about a lot.  Like most people who struggle with depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, I keep that part of my life to myself because it's not something I feel like a lot of people struggle with or can understand.  I'm also a very independent person who doesn't like to burden other people and typically talking about how I thought about killing myself on a random Tuesday could really throw off someone else's day. I've been really stressed out lately and uncomfortable at the idea of quitting my job.  It's triggering these thoughts more frequently and I feel like talking about them helps.   Also, I have a lot of daily listeners and I feel like I share with you my day to day life and yet this is a pocket of my life I try to keep hidden.   I'm often reminded after I talk about my challenges with mental health that this is precisely the reason I was gifted this challenge. Because I will talk about it. Depression, anxiety, and suicide are such silent diseases in our society.  It's silent because there is so much shame around feeling broken. I've done more thought-work, yoga, and meditation than anyone you know.  I don't have a problem being happy or being positive.  This is just something that hits me when I feel overwhelmed and stressed.  When I feel overwhelmed and stress, my brain falls to a feeling of hopelessness that I often have to breathe through and wait for it to pass.  I'm sharing this on the podcast because talking about it has saved my life.  And I hope sharing some of my current struggles could maybe help save someone else's.

Original Air Date: June 5, 2021* Today, I update y'all on my exciting afternoon yesterday and I read one of my favorite poems called "The Guest House" by Rumi.

Original Air Date: June 4, 2021* I'm exhausted this morning.  An exciting day manifested a restless night last night.  The intention for this podcast is to bring your body and it's needs in the forefront of your mind and prioritize it today.

Original Air Date: June 3, 2021* This episode is centered around the idea:  "The lives we want aren't just going to come to us.  We have to create them." I talk about how the Universe told me to forget everything I know about money and go into it with a beginner's mind.  I'm still processing this.  And how when I think about living the life I want, the only thing holding me back is money.   I talk about a few topics in this episode.  I feel I bounced around a lot but I hope you enjoy it and it brings value into your life in some way.

Original Air Date: June 2, 2021* Well.... we are going there.  In today's episode, I navigate my way through a thought process I've been having around analyzing what sex and money have in common. 1) We don't like to talk about it. 2) We are afraid to admit how much we want it. I hope you enjoy the episode.  I was kind of fleshing out my idea as I talk so bare with me.  It's a hard topic to talk about anyway so give me a little grace as you listen

Original Air Date: June 1, 2021* Question to contemplate today: "What is required of you today to expand your vision for your life?"

Original Air Date: May 31, 2021* The day I woke up with negative $115 in my bank account was the same day I realized I was waking up in the wrong life and I was going to do something about it. This episode is a gift to my future self.  Anytime we doubt ourselves or don't feel like showing up, I will listen to the episode.  I will remember what I said.  It will keep me going.  This episode will be what helps me stay accountable to my inevitable success.

Original Air Date: May 29, 2021* In this episode, you will learn some thing about me that you didn't know and may not want to know, but that's okay.  This is not something I talk about often.  I get looked at like I have 3 heads and a tail.  It is why I'm very compassionate about other people's beliefs because I think I take the cake in believing something that is "crazy/out there."  Thank you for listening.   Here are some of the links I promised in the episode: 60 Minute Episode (13 mins): https://youtu.be/ZBtMbBPzqHY UFO footage: https://youtu.be/Wh-tCAY0u7I Paintings throughout the centuries depicting what we call UFOs today: https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/12-ancient-paintings-containing-surprising-evidence-of-aliens

Original Air Date: May 28, 2021* This is probably one of the deeper episodes I've posted.  I talk about watching someone die on my drive to work and I'm pretty sure I had a panic attack.  And after seeing this, I had a bunch of life altering questions come up. Thank you for listening.

Original Air Date: May 27, 2021* Today we do two exercises.   1) Count all the times you think about money today. 2) Write down the word MONEY on a sheet of paper and write the first 5 thoughts that come to mind about it.   I do the second exercise for you on the podcast and it made me kind of emotional. I hope you benefit from the exercise.  Thank you for listening. 21 Days to a Wealthier You Journey starts June 7th.

Original Air Date: May 26, 2021* Thank you for listening.  The quote today is:  "When you forgive, you don't change the past-- you change the future."

Original Air Date: May 25, 2021* What will you choose today?

Original Air Date: May 24, 2021* What do you want to feel more of?  More joy? More belonging? More grace for yourself and others?  I also share "miracles" or manifestations that have happened after listening to the "You Are a Badass at Making Money" book by Jen Sincero.  It will be the book we will use on our 21 Day Journey to better money mindset. 

Original Air Date: May 22, 2021* This was an experience and my observation of how I feel, react and demonize people when they don't do what I want/feel rejection.

Original Air Date: May 21, 2021* Hey everyone!  This is a fun episode I recorded with my friend, Mary Carson Brown, who was also a fishing guide with me in Yellowstone National Park.  We reminisce on our jobs, memories, friends, and what it was just like "living the dream" as they say.  I hope you enjoy the episode.  Pass it to someone you think may benefit from working in a national park.  It's a great place to get some perspective and make lifetime memories.

Original Air Date: May 20, 2021* In this episode, I talk about the first time I heard from my grandfather after he passed away and I give you a tip on what I think could help you connect to your loved ones.

Original Air Date: May 19, 2021* Exercise for today:  When you have a chance, take out a piece of paper and write down why you are thankful for a hard situation or a difficult person in your life.  Use these experience and this exercise someway, everyday as an opportunity to pray to the Universe and be thankful it gives us opportunities beyond our control so we can turn to it for assistance and guidance. 

 Original Air Date: May 18, 2021* Today's episode is a little story time about the flooding last night that happened at my apartment and the 7 Week Course I did called "Calling in The One."

Original Air Date: May 17, 2021* Today's prayer:  "Thank You Universe for giving me the right thing to say, at the right time, for the right person." Today's episode, I feel is like an out loud journal entry.  I've been making a lot of observations about my life and questioning a lot of the why's and what am I doing certain things for. I think this episode gave me a good question to answer for myself. Fill in the blank:  The only life I want to live is......

Original Air Date: May 16, 2021* Today's prayer:  "Thank You Universe for sending me signs and symbols when I need them." Today's episode, I press you to listen to your inner guidance around situations in your life that feel uncomfortable or you're continuously experiencing unhappiness in.  

Original Air Date: May 13, 2021* Prayer:  Thank You Universe for giving me clarity when things are unclear.   Today's episode... I did the best I could with this philosophical argument. I hope you enjoy it.  I don't think there are a lot of answers in the episode but I do think it has the capability to push the edges of our perception a little bit.  Thank you for listening.

Original Air Date: May 12, 2021* Today's prayer:  Thank You Universe for giving me the awareness to see where I am adding pain, drama, and judgment to this situation. The episode today is just about what I do when I am confronted with irritating situations in my life.  When I am judging or viewing someone else's actions as wrong.  I share a prayer practice I do.   I hope you have a great day

Original Air Date: May 11, 2021* Did you ever interpret your dreams?  Do you even think your dreams have meaning?  In this episode, I describe a dream that I had about an ex-love interest that was in my life for a long time.  And I give a few reasons why we may dream about exes.  They may not be what you were expecting.   Also, if you are interested in getting a dream interpreted by me, email me at [email protected] and for $30.00 we can set that up.  This is something I decided to offer on a whim.  I will have better details and what you will receive very soon. If you don't want to pay and want to learn how to interpret your own dreams, I encourage this.  I use dreammoods.com to interpret most of my dreams.  There are other apps you can use also but Dream Moods is what I've used for the past decade. 

Original Air Date: May 9, 2021* Happy Monday!  The prayer for this morning is:  Thank You Universe for giving me so many different people in my life. Today's episode is about how we listen.  

Original Air Date: May 8, 2021* My friend asked me this the other day and it made me realize this may be an interesting topic to cover on the podcast. If you have any questions you want me to cover on the podcast, send them to [email protected]

Original Air Date: May 7, 2021* Today's episode, I introduce you (if you haven't been introduced yet) to a prayer called the Ho'oponopono.  It's a Hawaiian prayer that is four phrases.  "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Here's a video interview by Joe Vitale who has authored two books on this prayer: https://youtu.be/91CdQcKkCJU

Original Air Date: May 6, 2021* Prayer: "Thank you Universe for letting me know and giving me the space to know myself so deeply.  Thank you for your gifts that are mine and thank you for letting people, opportunities, and situations slip through my fingers that are not meant for me." The question for today, "What do we gain by being afraid to let go?"

Original Air Date: May 5, 2021* Today's prayer:  "Thank You Universe for guiding me." The episode today is about the comfort of being guided.  I share a little bit about how the more I've been guided by the Universe the more comforted and sure I am about the desires of my heart coming into fruition.  That saying "thank you" prayers are an act of faith instead of some delusional, airy fairy concept.   I also chat about the comfort I have around letting jobs, people, and other situations in my life go because holding on to things when the Universe asks me to release it could be a way of me holding onto someone else's blessing.  

Original Air Date: May 4, 2021* I have to warn you... this podcast doesn't have a lot of answers.  If anything, I feel like I opened a can of worms for myself to try to sift through and figure out.  But as always, I hope this podcast aids to your journey in some way.  I appreciate you being here. The prayer:  Thank you God for the people in my life (especially the ones who tell me I'm wrong, the ones who say I'm not enough, the ones who have walked away from me.) Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

Original Air Date: May 3, 2021* Another moment where I'm pushing myself to keep it 100% with you all.  I'm nervous about sharing this experience I had last night but here we are.  As always, I hope my podcast just supports you somehow on your journey.  Join us on FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gooddaywithray

Original Air Date: May 1, 2021* This is my longest solo episode to date I believe... I didn't really get into everything that happened on day four of my journey in Austin and what all it brought up for me.  I just want to remind listeners.. these are my experiences.  You can believe or not believe what I say.  You can agree or disagree.  I hope to facilitate a community of people who (like me) are open to each others perspectives and experiences in order to develop a deeper sense of connection, community and understanding for one another. 

Original Air Date: April 29, 2021* Prayer for today:  "Thank you for gifting me the clarity around this situation in my life." Clarity exercise:  Write down your thoughts and feelings around a situation you want guidance on before bed.  At the end of the paragraph, ask God/The Universe/Divine Source the question you want answered.  Typically, my question is answered that night, within three days or a week.  Read the question before bed each night until you receive the clarity you're seeking. Book we will be diving into tomorrow:  "The Disappearance of the Universe: Straight Talk about Illusions, Past Lives, Religion, Sex, Politics, and the Miracles of Forgiveness" by Gary R. Renard

Original Air Date: April 29, 2021*. I hope you all enjoy today's episode.  It's all over the place.  A real buffet of experiences.  Thank you all for tuning in to hear about my trip.  My intention for sharing is to continue to cultivate this community centered around the intention of honesty and I just hope my sharing aides to your life and your experiences some how, some way.

Original Air Date: April 28, 2021* In today's episode, we start with a prayer about cultivating deeper understanding around events, people, and situations in our lives.  Also, feel free to say your own prayer. Then, I chat about my day one in Austin.  How I had to buy clothes before I knew if I even liked them, my day drinking pedicab ride around the city, what an instagrammable dinner looks like, and online dating apps.

Original Air Date: April 27, 2021* Today's episode opens with a prayer then I play a previous recording of my first hour in Austin and we end with this quote. "If you don't know where you're going, every road will get you nowhere." -Henry Kissinger 

Original Air Date: April 26, 2021* Listen as I sing the intro from "Without Me" and also as I update and re-introduce the podcast.  I felt led to create an intention not only for the podcast but for my life in general and this podcast will be reflecting that renewed intention.   I hope you stay along for the journey and if you don't I understand... I respect and encourage and wish the best for you along your path

Original Air Date: April 15, 2021* Hey!  I'm popping on before my re-airing date to share a message/perspective with you.  I really felt this may benefit one of my listeners and I couldn't wait two weeks before I shared it.  I'm looking forward to continue cultivating this community.  Talk soon!

Original Air Date: April 11, 2021*. I appreciate each and every person who has been showing up with me since I started this podcast back in November.  I've been led to take a short break but I will be back with what I expect to be some really good stories and insights.  This is definitely not goodbye.  It's a see you soon. Good Day with Ray is expected to be back on April 26th.

Original Air Date: April 10, 2021*. This is a story about how my family and I got "framed/falsely accused" on Easter Sunday for stealing a cellphone and a purse.

Original Air Date: April 9, 2021* Is Good Day with Ray talking politics...?  My intention for this podcast is to introduce new ways to view the country and hopefully encourage us to see our country like a team/relationship instead of one side against the other.  My intention also for throwing these ideas into the world is to inspire and cultivate better communication (neighbor to neighbor).  It is my belief those are the core of our issues.  I rarely talk about political issues because I think the nuts and bolts of the situations are deeper than taxes and civil rights.  It's my belief that the root of the issues are lack of communication, cancelling of ideas, finger pointing, etc.  Until we cultivate a space where Americans can safely express our ideas with maturity, it doesn't matter what the issues are... they will not see progress without a healthy communication dynamic.  

Original Air Date: April 8, 2021* The hardest part about creating or wanting to create is the negativity we experience or the negativity we "think" we may experience.  Here is a situation that is very fresh on my mind and I wanted to share in the off chance that you are wanting to show up more in your life, what you may encounter, and alternative ways to deal with these situations.  

Original Air Date: April 7, 2021* It's already been seven days... I feel like that flew by.  I hope everyone is doing well this morning.  Today's word is allow and the prayer is:  God, show me where I'm not allowing you to guide me or support me.  Prayers to this affect are the focus for today's journey.  Thank you for showing up with me while I process and engage in my own spiritual journey.  It's an honor to share it with you.

Original Air Date: April 6, 2021* Today, I chat about how I protect my peace.  The prayers and the mantras I say that help me have patience in seasons of waiting. Today's prayer:  God, Thank you for protecting me from people, things, and opportunities not meant for me.  

Original Air Date: April 5, 2021* Forgive.  This word was very synchronistic in the 7-week program I'm following where my lesson today was about Letting Go of the Past.   And the quote my lesson opened up with is: "Pause at the word: "for-give." "For-to-give."  Forgiveness is such a gift that "give" lives in the word.  Christian tradition has tried to make it meek and passive word; turn the other cheek.  But the word contains the active word "give," which reveals its truth. -- Michael Ventura, "Meeting the Shadow" I hope you enjoy today's anecdotes and the questions I read from my lesson today.  It can be hard to reflect on what we may have brought or still bring to a situation that we can't let go of, but I found A LOT of freedom in reflecting on these questions today from my lesson.  My intention for sharing them is hoping they support someone else as well in their forgiveness journey.

Original Air Date: April 4, 2021*. Today's episode, Blanche is acting up... I chat about how sometimes when I ask for an answer from God and it's not one I like I will usually file it away and ask for another solution.  As a result, I feel like I keep dealing with the same problem.  Sometimes the answer is the answer and we just have to trust and have faith things will work out. "He who loses his life shall find it." -Jesus

Original Air Date: April 3, 2021* Today's episode asks, "What are you inviting into your life?"  What are you making space for?  Worry?  Old partnerships?  Insecurity?   When we are trying to invite a new future, we need to take a look at the life we are currently inviting in.

Original Air Date: April 2, 2021* Today's episode, I share a little bit about a meditation I did, some past experiences in childhood, and how much difficulty I have asking for help.  My intention for sharing these experiences is to maybe bring up some areas in yourself that you have trouble asking for help in.  I'm learning more and more that leaning on the Universe for help and guidance and ASKING for help is bringing more ease into my life.

Original Air Date: April 1, 2021*. Day 1 of our 7-Day Prayer Journey.  Today's episode is about what we are being called to release/let go of in order to make room for what we are asking God/The Universe for.

Original Air Date: Mar 31, 2021*. Today, I share how I learned a valuable lesson through my sport of jiu jitsu.  I learn a lot about life through jiu jitsu and it's why I keep pushing through it.  The mat always catches me when I fall... the mat is also where I broke my foot and had to lose three months of income and some of my independence. 

Original Air Date: Mar 30, 2021*. Are you afraid to say what you want?  Do you ever find yourself being specific in certain areas of your life but not asking or desiring more for the fear you will push other options away or you will be disappointed?

Original Air Date: Mar 29, 2021* You ever feel like you've been heading down a road, on autopilot, and in a day feel like your life is pointing and bringing you down a totally different (yet familiar) path?

Original Air Date: Mar 28, 2022* Today, I talk about truth and some fears I have around being in relationships and being seen on my good days and bad days.

Original Air Date: Mar 27, 2021*. “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek.” –Joseph Campbell This was such a hard episode to record.  I appreciate y'all holding space for me this morning. I didn't edit the podcast because it's another hard one that I'm not sure I would have posted if I heard it back. Tell the truth even if your voice shakes. Also, I want to say a prayer for Will and his family and friends.  He took his life on the 23rd.  I also want to say a prayer for all the people who are struggling in similar ways.  I pray God keeps them and encourages them.

Original Air Date: Mar 26, 2021* I wanted to share with y'all a practice I've been doing for the past 2-3 weeks that has really benefitted my life.  

Original Air Date: Mar 25, 2021*. Follow @thepeaceofmindproject Enjoy Mallory's perspective on codependency, addiction, recovery, jealousy, and switching jobs.  I really enjoyed this interview.  Don't forget to give her a follow.

Original Air Date: Mar 24, 2021*. Today, we are talking about the long view when it comes to major areas in life like relationships, careers, finances, health, etc.

Original Air Date: Mar 23, 2021*. One thing I don't mention in the video is how much prayer I've integrated into my daily routine.  I am the foundation for my life but I'm realizing as I'm leveling up that I need more "outside" assistance from a power greater than myself. I am of no religious affiliation but I still pray and it's worked WONDERS in my life and helps me cultivate more patience and joy while I'm journeying towards the life I want to see.

Original Air Date: Mar 22, 2021*. "I don't feel like it."  Do you say that a lot?  When it comes to working out? Journaling?  Yoga?  Anything that supposedly makes you feel better after but in the moment you just don't wanna?  Today's episode is about how I was feeling that way this morning and I hope this episode is a little reminder that there is still a little bit of time left today to do something you don't feel like doing

Original Air Date: Mar 21, 2021*. I just finished the book "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art" by James Nestor. This book has educated me on how taking time to have a conscious breathing practice can benefit aspects of my health.  I truly believe this is why yoga helped me with my depression and anxiety.  I had been meditating for years but I would sit and ruminate on my problems.  Yoga was the first thing that gave me postures and my breath to focus on and it's improved my mental health drastically. In the book, Nestor educates us on how the breath can help with chronic fatigue, headaches, sleep apnea, snoring, autoimmune diseases and more. Please return to this meditation anytime you'd like.  It starts around 4:40 if you want to fast forward in the future and don't need the reminder about breathing into the belly. The technique I'm using is a simple 6 count through the nose and 6 counts out through the nose.  You could also breath out through the mouth if you'd like just be sure to breathe in through the nose if possible.  Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy

Original Air Date: Mar 20, 2021*. When things are stolen from you, it's hard. When a parent tries to steal from you, it hits different.  

Original Air Date: Mar 19, 2021*. This is something I ask myself pretty much daily.  It helps me stay on track even on the hardest days.

Original Air Date: Mar 18, 2021*. This was kind of an out loud journal.  A realization.  I don't really have any answers on the topic but I'm wanting to take this awareness into my life so I can embrace the moment instead of always feeling like I'll be happier somewhere else, with someone else, and/or with something else.

Original Air Date: Mar 17, 2021*. My intention for making this podcast is hoping it helps at least ONE person realize their self-worth isn't determined or measured by this.

Original Air Date: Mar 16, 2021*. In today's episode I chat about the book Irresistible by Adam Alter and how he shares saying "I can't" vs. "I don't" can have a huge impact on your goals.

Original Air Date: Mar 15, 2021*. My intention for creating this podcast today is hoping it will keep you mindful of things in your life that may need some changes.  I don't want it to overwhelm you or make you feel guilty.  In my meditation practice, a mantra I use is "awareness is the first step." Just becoming more aware of a pattern gives us the freedom to start shifting it.

Original Air Date: Mar 14, 2021* Today, I talk about how you should view your vision for your life, for your relationships, projects, new businesses as a seed.   You can't scream at a seed to grow. You can't rush the process. It takes consistent, daily or weekly action to see the results we desire for the major areas in our life.  It also takes good soil and I talk about that a little bit as well. 

Original Air Date: Mar 13, 2021*. Today's episode is different.  I have a conversation about what depression is like for me.  I talk about what it's like when I experience suicidal thoughts.  The checklist I go through when I finally acknowledge I'm experiencing depression.   I also talk about the one thing I did that I believe saved/saves my life.   If you know someone struggling with depression, please consider sharing this podcast with them.

Original Air Date: Mar 7, 2021*. This is the introduction to my 5 day flash challenge.  The audio is not what you are used to.  Blanche is being wild but this project is getting done.  What habit will you choose for the next 5 days? Here's the link if you'd like to watch the videos: https://youtu.be/-PNKNExgsP4

Original Air Date: Mar 6, 2021*. I've really been wanting to add in a Self-Care Sunday episode. Here are some of the ideas I list in the audio: 1) Journal and Reflect on the Week 2) Turn the notifications off on your phone until 8 or 9 a.m. 3) Drink coffee and catch up on your favorite shows. 4) Do yoga or meditate 5) Turn on an album and meal prep, take a hot bath, or work on a project.

Original Air Date: Mar 5, 2021*. This is a story about my tenth birthday and when my stepfather who was addicted to crack at the time showed up late and in dirty clothes to my birthday party.  

Original Air Date: Mar 5, 2021*. I stopped watching Netflix and Hulu on Sunday.  That's 5 Days without one TV show... I literally don't know when's the last time I did that.  It may not be a big deal for you but it has been for me.  I haven't even turned on the television for background noise while I cooked or did the laundry.  In this episode, I share what my experience has been so far and what my brain has been telling me to try to get me to turn the TV back on.

Original Air Date: Mar 4, 2021* I saw this quote in my sister's story.  I thought it went well with how I've been feeling lately.

Original Air Date: Mar 3, 2021*. Take the list you made yesterday and use this activity to put it into action.

Original Air Date: Mar 2, 2021* So, I did this brain dump on Monday. It's where I set my timer for 15 minutes and wrote out every task I wanted to get done for the week. Then, I took that list, put the tasks into my calendar with how much time I was going to take to complete them, and scheduled my week out like that.  But first, it started with making this list.  Tomorrow I'll give you tips on how to schedule them. 

Original Air Date: Mar 1, 2021* Parkinson's Law:  "Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion."

Original Air Date: Feb 28, 2021*. Today's episode is short and sweet.  It's just a short reminder that you deserve to rest and reflect on this Sunday.  Take time for yourself if you haven't already.

Original Air Date: Feb 27, 2021*. I've only used a scale three times in 2 years.  You may wonder why I do that.   In this Story Time Saturday episode, I give a small glimpse of when I started to use food as a way to cope with feelings.  I chat a little bit about how I struggled with body image issues in middle school and high school.  Then, I go into how working out and eating "well" almost made me pass out at work and basically gave me an eating disorder in college.   I don't use a scale or even keep one in my apartment because my brain has a number it wants me to be and I'm not sure if I will ever be able to maintain that number consistently.  Even if I could, I'm convinced it will come up with a lower number because historically I have reached my goal weight and it just kept pushing me to go lower and lower and lower until I just said enough. This episode is a little bit about that journey.

Original Air Date: Feb 26, 2021*. Today, I chat about a conversation I had with a friend last night about how a new habit takes adaptability and planning. Also! It's the first Friday GIVEAWAY.  Listen to the full episode to see who won and claim your prize.

Original Air Date: Feb 25, 2021*. Today, I chat with you about some problems I find myself avoiding in my every day life.  I touch on tools and practices that I use to try to tackle these problems while they are still manageable.  I also go over my interpretation of what a reaction vs a response is and why it's important for me to be able to tell the difference. Let me know if this episode helped you in any way.  I'd love to hear about your experience. 

Original Air Date: Feb 24, 2021* "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." - Jim Rohn Have you heard this quote? Do you agree with this statement? I heard Tim Ferriss say this on a podcast years ago and it always pops in my mind any time I find myself hanging out with someone new or someone very frequently.

Original Air Date: Feb 16, 2021* I have a couple of questions for you today.

Original Air Date: Feb 15, 2021*. I really wanted to give you a motivational episode today to make you feel like a badass this week; however, I thought this topic was not only useful but it could really shift your perspective and your life.   I give you four (maybe five) questions to ask yourself when you feel your peace being challenged, disrupted, or worse.. stolen.

Original Air Date: Feb 14, 2021*. If you'd like to be entertained by my dating life, please listen to this morning's episode. 

Original Air Date: Feb 13, 2021*. I just wanted to say thank you for listening.  I mean that from the bottom of my heart.  It means a lot to me. In today's episode, I tell you a story about a life defining moment in my childhood.  It was a simple moment but I do believe to this day that it changed the trajectory of my life and helped me decide on who I wanted to be and I stuck to that path pretty closely.  Materials mentioned and available to watch: Lucky by Britney Spears:  https://youtu.be/4vvBAONkYwI "Framing Britney Spears" Season 1 Episode 6-- A New York Times Special on Hulu  

Original Air Date: Feb 12, 2021* Thanks for coming back! Here are some of the topics Cora-Lynn and I talk about as we finish up our interview: -How sparking connection creates longevity in our business -I ask Cora lynn what she would tell her younger business owner self that would have saved her a lot of heartache and a lot of time had she known this sooner -we chat about how assuming people in society were just overnight successes can hold so many people back from following their dreams -and our most interesting topic that I enjoyed chatting about is society’s obsession with hitting a higher following number on our social media accounts and how it’s distorting our view of humanity

Original Air Date: Feb 11, 2021* In part one of this episode, Cora-Lynn and I dive into topics like the journey to being present and grateful while running a business and how when we focus on the impact and the change we create in people’s lives then the money takes care of itself.  We chat about how no one wants to be looked at like a sleazy sales person and at the same time how not offering our gifts and services to the world loudly and consistently could be holding others back along with yourself.  And y’all we talk about a lot more and this was just part one.  I hope you enjoy this interview I did with Cora-Lynn.  I hope it inspires you and shifts your perspective around your business like it did mine.  If there is something in this episode you feel may help someone else please pass this episode along to them.  Thank you for tuning in today.

Original Air Date: Feb 9, 2021*. I heard this quote while doing a workout yesterday and I wanted to relay it to y'all and get your thoughts.

Original Air Date: Feb 8, 2021* Who has the power over your happiness, your peace, and most of all... your actions?

Original Air Date: Feb 7, 2021*. And how to tweak them to be more productive and proactive.

Original Air Date: Feb 7, 2021*. So I won't lie to you.  I'm not an expert in dealing with stress and overwhelm.  I'm not really sure who is.  This is just how I deal with mine on a day to day and a weekly basis. 

Original Air Date: Feb 6, 2021*. So yesterday was the end of my mini series.  I just felt like I really wanted to share some hard moments in my life so I could paint a better picture of how I got to where I am today. Also, I want to keep sharing my stories.  Instead of sharing them all at once, I will tell a new story every Saturday.  They will be from my travels, from times in Yellowstone, from childhood, etc. I'm excited about this idea. It will be easier for me to do than to just share every day back to back.

Original Air Date: Feb 5, 2021*. When I was 27, I was raped at a casino. This is a little bit about that story.

Original Air Date: Feb 4, 2021*. Today, I talk about why I feel I haven't been sharing my story and it's because of the pain report card or what my coach likes to call the pain olympics.  Ever heard of it?

Original Air Date: Feb 3, 2021*. Continuation of my mini series 

Original Air Date: Feb 2, 2021*. This will be a mini series about my life up until this point.  I feel these stories are valuable to share since every day I wake up and it's my mission to bring something good to your day but you may not know why I do it.    And, you need to know why I do it. It's because for about a decade of my life I felt like I woke up and lived through nothing but bad days.  Days that were so bad, so overwhelming, and hopeless that I perpetually thought about ripping myself out of this world too soon.   And what a f****** shame that would have been. So, I will be sharing a series of stories about that time in my life.  My intention for sharing is to show how I didn't change my perspective, question my thoughts, and push myself to do self-care practices because it's "a good idea" and "everyone's doing it." I did it so I could stay here because without the changes I committed to make for my mind and body... I don't know where I'd be.

Original Air Date: Feb 1, 2021*. In today's episode, I shout out a free checklist from @simplybentley on Instagram.  It's called Fresh Start February Checklist and it's got 28 ideas for how to make your February (and this new year) fresh.

Original Air Date: Jan 27, 2021*. The other day I was listening to "The School of Greatness" by Lewis Howes.  It was episode 1061 with Rich Roll where Rich said, "Divorce emotional attachment to the outcome or the future destination and concentrate on doing the best job with what's right in front of you." And these are my thoughts. Song: Razihel - Love U [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/loveu Watch: http://youtu.be/OJBxNA8cX-E

Original Air Date: Jan 26, 2021*. I won't lie to y'all... sometimes I get upset when I see my friends sharing other people's content and not mine.  It stings a little.  But, I've had to do an ego check and realize maybe my content isn't for them. Maybe they don't understand what I'm doing. Shoot, they may not even like my podcasts.  That's okay... The thing is I get messages every day from people who do.  I get likes and comments from people who are watching and are listening.  Every day I just trust my messages and what I'm trying to spread is getting to the right people, and I keep going. Keep going.  And if you haven't started yet because you are waiting for the support from your inner circle, I'm here telling you to START.  Because if I would have waiting for all my closest friends and family to pat me on the back and tell me what I was making was good... I would have stopped this podcast on day two.  Song: Razihel - Love U [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/loveu Watch: http://youtu.be/OJBxNA8cX-E

Original Air Date: Jan 26, 2021*. In today's episode, I talk about how I prioritize my peace.   How every day I have to be intentional about it, prioritize it, create a space for it, and make it happen.

Original Air Date: Jan 25, 2021* If you're anything like me and you avoid making lists, in this episode I give a couple of tips and perspectives to encourage you to make a list for your day IF that's something you want to start doing.  (I'm not saying lists are for everyone.  This is just an episode for people who would like use them more.)

Original Air Date: Jan 24, 2021* Our brain is an expert at pointing out where we could have done better, how we could have shown up more, and making us feel like there is always more to do and be.  And while I love developing and accomplishing things as much as the next person, I also make sure I pause when my brain is telling me I should have done this better or done more of this. The reality is, nothing is ever done.   This week, I had to give this same pep talk to myself when I was feeling overwhelmed and like I didn't do enough.  I had to encourage myself that if I was going to count my losses then I needed to be fair to myself and count my wins also.

Original Air Date: Jan 23, 2021* Hey everyone so today's podcast episode is actually a podcast recommendation. This recommendation can be found on "The Doctor's Farmacy" with Dr. Mark Hyman.  It's a holistic health podcast that talks about every day ailments from a holistic stand point.   The episode I'm referring ya'll to is the actual title of my episode.   Podcast: The Doctor's Farmacy Episode: Fasting: Hype or Ultimate Health Hack with Dave Asprey Tomorrow, I will be talking more about my personal experience with fasting.

Original Air Date: Jan 22, 2021* Today, I quote Elizabeth Gilbert's book Big Magic.  I remember listening to this book about two years ago while I was driving on my mail route and this section of the book almost made me run off the road... lol.  Not really, but my brain came to a screeching halt when she said these words... “I knew that nobody was ever going to knock on my apartment door and say, “We understand that a very talented unpublished young writer lives here, and we would like to help her advance her career.” No, I would have to announce myself, and so I did announce myself. Repeatedly. I remember having the distinct sense that I might never wear them down—those faceless, nameless guardians of the gate that I was tirelessly besieging. They might never give in to me. They might never let me in. It might never work. It didn’t matter.” This made me realize no one knows what I'm doing in the confines of my apartment.  No one knows that I have a dream of being a coach, a writer, a mental wellness advocate, singer, etc.  No one would even know I was a podcaster if I didn't post clips on my instagram, share them to my stories, or talk about it with friends.   With that realization, I also realized no one was just going to walk up to me and give me what I wanted without showing up and showing out for it.  I have to make myself known.  I have to submit the stories for people to SEE.  I have to share the posts for people to READ.  I have to publish the podcasts for people to HEAR.  I have to make the phone calls and be willing to hear YES or NO.   I can't just WANT IT. I have to show up and DO IT.  Song: Razihel - Love U [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/loveu Watch: http://youtu.be/OJBxNA8cX-E

Original Air Date: Jan 21, 2021*. When I first started this daily podcast, it was just something for me.  It was something I could do creatively to keep my mind in a good space and a way I could connect with others while my life... was changing for a season.   In this podcast, I go over some things I didn't know I would find or cultivate within myself by being more consistent especially in a more public way.  I hope this podcast inspires you to do more of that thing you think will make your heart happy and if you don't know what that thing is yet then send me a message at [email protected] and we can start talking about it.  Let's find your thing.  Song: Razihel - Love U [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/loveu Watch: http://youtu.be/OJBxNA8cX-E

Original Air Date: Jan 20, 2021*. You'll get tired.  You'll wonder if it's worth it.  Keep Going

Original Air Date: Jan 19, 2021*. Hey everyone.  I've been asking myself this question every morning for about a week now and it's really making me more grounded, focused, and happier. It's from "The High Performance Planner" I'm using by Brendon Burchard and the question is: If one word could describe the kind of person I want to be today, then that words is... and why I chose it is... Writing this down every morning has helped me stay more centered, focused, and clearer throughout the day.  With this clarity, I feel it's also helped me have a better day and I hope it helps you too.

Original Air Date: Jan 18, 2021* Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great morning.  I'm taking this day to honor (like everyone else is) one of the most influential men in our history that I'm truly grateful for.   I was reading this book by Adam Grant recently called "Originals:  How Non-Conformists Move the World."  Rightfully so, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has a section in this book surrounding his most famous speech.  I loved learning a little bit more about this speech, how he prepared for it, and how he didn't prepare for it.  I hope y'all enjoy this little piece of history I stumbled across.  Song: Razihel - Love U [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/loveu Watch: http://youtu.be/OJBxNA8cX-E

Original Air Date: Jan 17, 2021*. Today's episode is about Questions.  I give y'all a list of seven questions that will ground you, challenge you, and get you excited for the week ahead. 1) What went well this week? 2) What could have been better? And, how can we prepare to do better? 3) Who did I help or have a meaningful conversation with? 4) Who can I tell thank you to for helping me this week? 5) What something to look forward to this week? 6) What's something I need to do but I've been putting off? 7) If I was my coach/mentor, what would I tell myself? The answers don't have to be elaborate.  This exercise probably took me 10-15 minutes tops, and I felt so much better about my last week and felt clear about what I could do better in the week to come.

Original Air Date: Jan 15, 2021* I got a little HOT in this episode. I was having a conversation with a friend and she said, "You're so much more confident than me.  I need more confidence to do what you do." Y'all when this happened, my brain broke! Lol.  If I waited until I was CONFIDENT to start this podcast then I still wouldn't have a podcast.  If I waited until I was CONFIDENT to start my coffee videos, I would NEVER have coffee videos.  My confidence does get better and I get a little stronger every day that I put myself out there.  It's like going to the gym for my confidence.  Each time I have a thought that tells me "that's stupid, no one cares, or stop posting every day" but I post ANYWAY in SPITE of that thought then I stand a little straighter.  I build a little bit more confidence every day that I do a scary thing or something I'm insecure about. I was not born with confidence.  I create it and build it every day that I do something scary or something that my brain tells me I can't do or I'm not good enough for.  Song: Razihel - Love U [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/loveu Watch: http://youtu.be/OJBxNA8cX-E

Original Air Date: Jan 14, 2021* Hey everyone! Today's episode is special for two reasons. 1) It's my 60th episode which means I've been podcasting for 60 days straight... I don't know that I've ever done anything for 60 days straight except for drink coffee and breathe. 2) We have a VERY SPECIAL GUEST Jakori Savage who is a former LSU football player, now fighter, and a friend of mine who I wanted on the podcast so he could share with me (and my community) how he stays so consistent.   With it being my 60th episode, this topic feels very timely.  This journey is all about consistency and showing up for me.  I'm glad Jakori and I could chat and share with you the foundation of our practices.  I hope something resonates with you.  Maybe you will agree with us and see where consistency has paid off in your life.  Maybe you will start to see some areas that can use more of it.  Either way, I hope you have as much fun listening to the episode as I had recording it.

Original Air Date: Jan 13, 2021*. I'm so grateful to my coach Faith Mariah (Blogging Breakthroughs podcaster) for gifting our community with this phrase.  It's changed my mindset completely. Anytime I feel I'm in the vibe of confusion, I refer to this phrase "being confused is a choice" which means to me that there is an answer I'm not looking for.  I could know a solution but I'm not pursuing it at the moment.  Or, there is an area of my life where I need to learn more, perhaps develop a skill, or get help from someone who has that skill already. There are so many options for all of life's confusions. Maybe I'm not asking the right question or googling enough, but my answer IS SOMEWHERE.   And this phrase always reminds me of that.

Original Air Date: Jan 12, 2021*. I really appreciate everyone who made my birthday so special yesterday.  For my birthday, I gave the gift of growth to myself.  I did the most uncomfortable thing I've done in a long time.  I have this unspoken goal to do one thing that scares me once a week.  Yesterday may have been the start of that. Thank you to all my listeners for such a great birthday! I appreciate everyone who wished, liked, commented, or gave to me on my birthday.  My intention for doing what I did and showing y'all how scared I was while doing it was to hopefully inspire or motivate you to do the same.   Don't be afraid to ASK for assistance, opportunities, etc. Looking back, I'm wondering if I've gone without in certain areas just because I'm too stubborn to ask.  I'm working on that a lot this year.

Original Air Date: Jan 11, 2021*. WOW, y'all!  I did not expect this to be such an emotional episode for me, but I wanted to give y'all a behind the scenes around how much drama I had around linking my PayPal and Venmo on my social medias today for my birthday.   This was an extremely uncomfortable thing for me to do.  I almost don't want to do it because it literally makes my skin crawl to think I'm asking for money on my birthday when really I can reframe that thought. I'm just guiding people to a source where if they wanted to do something special for me and they are thinking, "How can I bless RayLynn on this day?"  "What can I do for my favorite podcaster and friend?" It's been a hard couple of months for me and while gifts are nice.  I'm in a season of my life where money would go a long way for me since I've been out of work with my foot.   I appreciate everyone who shows up to listen.  I hope this podcast gave you a little behind the scenes of how tough and how many stories I have associated with asking for help or feeling like I'm asking for ANYTHING.  I'm working on it and I hope showing y'all that process helps someone else.

Original Air Date: Jan 10, 2021*. I care about my listeners a lot.  My intention for every podcast is to give you some truth or information that will enhance and/or bring peace to your life.  Today, I share a little bit of my story about how I used to blame my father for all of my failed relationships and how at some point I realized it was really holding me back from doing the work on my healing.   Thank you so much for taking some time to listen to my story.  I appreciate you.

Original Air Date: Jan 9, 2021*. The episode may be hard to hear, but I don't think I would be a good podcast host if I didn't share how ineffective blaming is in our every day lives and how our lives can change dramatically when we start doing it. Tomorrow in part two, I can go into more detail about how my life changed by not blaming because it helped me identify when other people were trying to and succeeding in manipulating me through blaming/pointing the finger at me.

Original Air Date: Jan 8, 2021* In today's podcast, I talk about the importance of knowing your people.   You know where you go when you need groceries.  You know you go to a mechanic to fix your car.  You know you go to best friend/co-worker when you want to go on those Happy Hours for lunch.   In this episode, I get CLEAR about who I am for you.  Which person I am in your life.   Know your people.

Original Air Date: Jan 7, 2021*. Hey everyone!  So today is a special episode!  It's longer than my typical content because I have another guest on!   Peygan is a professor at Bayou Jiu jitsu and self-defense. I've been friends with him for over a year now and I've seen him try to do a lot of mindset work in the past year.  And today, I sit down with him in this interview to try to get a feel for what sparked his inspiration to work on his self-talk.  We talk about the challenges that come with being a leader of a gym, especially a leader to young children.  He talks about the mental struggle associated with choosing his passion as a career over taking the college route.   Lots of good things in the interview.  I appreciate Peygan giving us him time and being so open about his challenges and what he's learned from them.

Original Air Date: Jan 6, 2021*. Today, I talk with y'all while I'm frustrated.  In the midst of starting my day off on the wrong foot and I give myself a pep talk.  The one I would usually give to myself as the day went on but instead I just say it out loud in case you are also going through a rough morning. 

Original Air Date: Jan 6, 2021*. YouTube Recommendation for today:  6 Mysterious Facts About Your Subconscious Mind https://youtu.be/WQZ3kguppY0

Original Air Date: Jan 5, 2021*. Today, I chat with y'all about how I feel the New Year has doubled the size of my to-do list.  I don't know if I'm the only one... If I'm not, I believe in you.  I believe you can rise to the challenge and I know you need to be kind to yourself.  Whatever resolution or goal you are reaching for this year.  

Original Air Date: Jan 3, 2021*. I’m going to be here every day.   I’m going to be here on the days when you are tired and the days when you want to take on the world.  I’m going to be here when you are happy and when you are depressed.  I’m going to be here when you are motivated and when you are thinking about quitting. I'm here. I’m also going to be here when you are questioning.  When you’re like ya know Ray, I don’t know if I want this thing anymore... I'll be here to ask you those questions when no one else will.  Are you tired and frustrated with it?  Are you bored? Or did you find out it was something you always thought you wanted but some things have changed? Did you realize it was associated with an expectation you always felt you needed to live up to?  Did you realize it was a dream the world sold to you and not something you truly wanted? I’ll be here on those days too. This year, in 2021, I’ll be here.  I won’t let you forget yourself.  I won’t let you forget the goals you are setting, and I will also be here on the days when you don’t feel like it.  When you need a break.  I encourage those.   But I’m making it my job this year to show up for you, show up for this podcast, and keep YOU curious and keep YOU in the direction of finding the life YOU actually enjoy living.  That’s my job this year.   And, I’m going to be here for you. You deserve peace.  You deserve joy.  You deserve to have someone in your corner on the days when you feel like there isn’t anyone. And, I’ll be right here.

Original Air Date: Jan 1, 2021 *. Good morning!  Happy 2021!  In today's episode, I read some of the comments my podcast listeners shared on my social media pages when I asked them what their word could be for 2021.  What they wanted to feel. I also share some of the questions I asked myself in 2020 that helped me sustain/return to a feeling of peace in my every day life.  These questions may help you retain yours throughout the year as well.

Original Air Date: Dec 31, 2020* Hello everyone on the last day of 2020!  What a year.  Did you ever think it would end?  I didn't... lol On today's episode, I ask y'all if you've ever heard of setting a feeling for the year instead of a goal?  I wasn't always familiar with this concept.  It was introduced to me in 2017 by Sally Hope, my kundalini yoga teacher.   The premise is instead of/or alongside with a goal or manifestation we are trying to call in or work towards in the New Year to also consider setting a feeling.  A tone.  Using a word to guide your year instead of/or with a goal.  That year my word was "Surrender." That word taught me a lot.  It taught me how to let go when I did all I could do.  It helped me recognize the control I had in some areas and where some things were just out of my control.   You don't have to pick a word this year, but if this concept is new to you and you'd like to try it, I'd say do it.  I've actually had more success and better years picking words/feelings than goals and manifestations.   Best of luck with your New Year!  I'll talk to y'all again in 2021!

Original Air Date: Dec 30, 2020*. Today I share some mean comments I've been getting about my podcast and I'm just curious on your opinions and what you would say to these people.

Original Air Date: Dec 29, 2020*. Today I quote GaryVee yet again and what I got from his quote about perfectionism.  I also talk about a response he gave yesterday when one of his followers asked him, "What was your biggest success of 2020?"  He responded, "That my friends and family stayed well and they are still alive." I talk a little bit about this perspective coming from someone who pulls in millions of dollars a year through his company.  His response helped me reframe and remember what internal success I achieve this year and it was a big one.

Original Air Date: Dec 28, 2020*. There are a lot of people in the world who grow up believing their life can only be what it's always been.  In a longer episode today, I interview my sister about how she used to think this way.  We dive into how a trauma she experienced when she was 12 years old began coloring and shaping her adult life into an existence she wasn't happy or fulfilled with.   We talk about how it was important it was for her to surround herself with people who were executing their dreams and we dive into how important her faith was, and still is, on her journey.   I hope y'all enjoy the episode. 

Original Air Date: Dec 27, 2020*. Today I share a pep talk by Will Smith on failure, how we should seek it out and need to get comfortable with it if we ever want to be successful.  I do not own the rights to this audio by Will Smith. The link for this speech: https://www.instagram.com/willsmith/

Original Air Date: Dec 26, 2020* I start today's podcast off with the quote: "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle." This podcast is about not being afraid to promote other people's work.  I also talk about how if you haven't started your own podcast, your own blog, or your own business because "someone out there is already doing that" then I ask you to reconsider and start whatever it is you are thinking. I share on my podcast today how the podcast "Coffee Talk" inspired me and helped me realize I had things I wanted to share every day like Christy Mae Campbell does on her podcast.  Check her podcast out and let me know if we sound the same, talk about the same things, and are exact replicas of each other.   I can't speak for her but the ultimate compliment to me is: "I started something because I saw you doing it and it helped me realize I could, too."

Original Air Date: Dec 25, 2020*. Good morning and Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope y'all are having a good day with your family.  Today, I'm popping in for a few minutes to talk about what my Christmas as someone who is starting to practice minimalism looks like.   I appreciate y'all tuning in! (This podcast is not meant to shame or make people feel guilty for giving or receiving gifts.  That is not the intention.  I just wanted to share what Christmas has been like for me as someone who is currently decluttering and trying to be more intentional with what I buy.)   Also, if you are trying to make more space for your gifts this year and are interested in re-gifting, donating, or decluttering after Christmas, I highly recommend the Minimalist Game. It can be found here: https://www.theminimalists.com/game/ Or just google, minimalism game.

Original Air Date: Dec 24, 2020* I don't take up too much time today.  I just wanted to show up, say Merry Christmas, and keep my promise of podcasting every day, even on Christmas Eve.   I hope your holidays are going well.  I know this time of the year is a happy time.  It can also be sad and stressful.  If you are feeling overwhelmed or grieving this year (feeling the first Christmas without a loved one), my thoughts are with you.  Remember to take some deep breaths.  Control what you can.  Let go of what you can't.   Much love. Thank you as always for listening. 

Original Air Date: Dec 22, 2020*. Today is a double hitter.  I'm reading another excerpt out of "The Subtle Art..." about how we are always choosing our problems and a lot of times we have a more positive experience with a problem if we view it as if we chose it rather than it being forced upon us. I also HIGHLY recommend you listen to this 2:30 minute pep talk by Will Smith: Fault vs Responsibility by Will Smith FULL SPEECH https://youtu.be/USsqkd-E9ag

Original Air Date: Dec 21, 2020*. Today's podcast is inspired by "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***".  Mark Manson writes, "The solution to one problem is merely the creation of the next one... Problems never stop; they merely get exchanged and/or upgraded."

Original Air Date: Dec 20, 2020* (Sorry if my voice sounds like I'm whispering today, I'm podcasting early in the morning at my mom's house.)  Today, I read a poem by Lang Leav called "Selfless." This poem is dedicated to my friends and to followers of the podcast who may be feeling selfish right now for leaving a job or a relationship or limiting time with certain friendships.  My intention is to remind you that if are finding yourself leaving something you really care about then I'm willing to bet you have done all the trying, turned over every stone, and you are making the best decision right now that you know how to make

Original Air Date: Dec 19, 2020*. Today's podcast is inspired by a quote from the book "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.  “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” When I read the word system, I had to dive a little deeper and do a couple searches to figure out what this word meant in this context.  I'm really glad I did.  I share in today's episode how this quote gave me some insight into why I've achieved some of my goals and why I've been failing at others.  I hope this content bring some value to you as well.  

Original Air Date: Dec 18, 2020* This podcast today is a call to action to type in the title of this podcast on YouTube.  It's a TedTalk Mel Robbins did 9 years ago and has over 25 million views.  It's not for you if you don't want a reality check or need some new ideas about how to feel unstuck in your businesses, relationships, or projects. I love this talk and I think you will too.

Original Air Date: Dec 17, 2020* Today, I tell y'all a personal story.

Original Air Date: Dec 16, 2020* I started reading a book that's been in my Amazon cart FOREVER.  It's called "Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World" by Adam Grant.  I was only in chapter one when he introduced me to a phrase I'd never heard before so I wanted to tell y'all about it in case you hadn't either.

Original Air Date: Dec 15, 2020* Yesterday's talk about not pressing snoozed and getting up earlier is followed two other habits we are doing every day which could be ruining our morning. 

Original Air Date: Dec 14, 2020*. This may sound cheesy but I aim to treat my mornings as sacred because I really believe the way we start our day has the potential to influence the rest of our day.  So today, I'm sharing a list of things I aim to not do in the morning because I've found it really helps make my day better.

Original Air Date: Dec 13, 2020* The podcast is for someone going through a tough or uncertain time. 

Original Air Date: Dec 12, 2020* I'm a documentary NERD.  Here are my top five Netflix Documentary recommendations at the moment.  I could probably give y'all a new list every month or two because that's how often I watch Documentaries.  They can all be found on Netflix. I'm not sure if they are streaming on any other platforms. 1) Human Nature 2) Social Animals  3) Minimalism 4) The Bleeding Edge 5) The Game Changers I also have a Christmas movie recommendation right at the end of the podcast. Let me know what y'all think if you watch them.  Thanks for listening!

Original Air Date: Dec 11, 2020* Thank y'all for showing up and listening.  Today I tackle the question I used to ask myself all the time, "What's My Purpose?"

Original Air Date: Dec 10, 2020*. Today, I read y'all some excerpts from a beneficial blog post I found titled "5 Things Productive People Do That Most People Don't" by Michael Thompson featured on the website EntrepreneursHandbook.co I read off his top five things and comment about what I see myself doing on this list and what I see myself not doing on this list.  I hope you guys enjoy it.  Leave your thoughts in the reviews.  Subscribe and shoot this podcast to a friend if you find it adds value to you.

Original Air Date: Dec 9, 2020* This morning I watched a video called "Why You Never Have Enough Time by a Youtube Creator, Nate O'Brien.  Go check out his full video when you have a chance.  He touches on some every day tasks we are doing that may be eating up more of our time throughout the day.  In my episode, I expand on one of his tips which is meal prepping.   Thank you guys for listening. I appreciate the support.  I'd love to know your thoughts about the episode.  Email me at [email protected] or message me on instagram @ray.klugh

Original Air Date: Dec 8, 2020* This is an update on what I noticed during my 30 Day Social Media Cleanse.  I share what I liked and what I didn't like.  I try to describe the changes I felt in my brain.  I also update y'all on my ideas about getting back on social media or staying off.   Thank y'all for listening.  Subscribe to the podcast if you haven't already. Share it with a friend or family member if you find the content useful.  I appreciate all the support.  Talk to y'all tomorrow!

Original Air Date: Dec 7, 2020*. Today's podcast is an update/reflection on how my goal of planning my days the night before turned out.  I let you guys know where I succeeded, where I failed, how I modified and whether or not I will continue with the practice.  I also touch on the principle of aiming for 10% better on goals you set the week before or the month before.  The concept is to look at your progress and only aim to do ten percent better each week or month and eventually you can create a sustainable habit or practice.   Also, Starbucks released a Peppermint Mocha Coffee grounds.  I happily enjoyed that this morning and will be probably drinking it the whole month of December.   If you enjoyed the podcast, share it with a friend or family member.  I'd really appreciate it and let me know what spoke to you by writing a review or emailing me at [email protected]

Original Air Date: Dec 6, 2020* This episode of Good Day with Ray is a podcast recommendation.  Today, I finished up a podcast on "Unlocking Us." It's by Brene Brown and the episode is titled Brene with David Eagleman on The Inside Story of the Ever Changing Brain.  The podcast is an hour long and it talks a lot about what we know about the brain and also touches on what we will never know about the brain.  David Eagleman is a neuroscientist and a best selling author.  I was really excited to come across his research about our brains.  It helped me make sense about why I feel like a different person almost every day.  If you guys listen to the podcast, let me know your thoughts!  Email me at [email protected].

Original Air Date: Dec 5, 2020*. This morning, I share the experience of how I'm learning when to work and when to rest. 

Original Air Date: Dec 4, 2020* This podcast is talking about the struggles I have with self-discipline and how I realized I am always saying 'yes' or 'no' in the direction of my goals with every action I choose to make.

Original Air Date: Dec 3, 2020* This is not intended to be an Ad.  This is a learning platform I've been using to take online courses and I wanted to share it with you guys.  It's helped me create my podcasts.  I've taken poetry classes and financial planning classes.  It's basically like a Netflix for online courses.  Anything I want to learn more about, I've been able to find some expert to teach me more about my areas of interests.   If you check it out, let me know. 

Original Air Date: Dec 2, 2020* Sometimes, I find myself turning to other things to dodge a feeling or a thought.  I feel like the fact it's off my mind means it's gone.  Lately, I've had some wake up calls showing me this was not the case.  The feeling or the problem was quieter while I distracted myself with other things.  Today's podcast was a challenge for me to post because I had to sit with some things.  Some things that may not be solvable right now but I think recognizing a feeling or a problem is the first true step in creating Transformation.  I hope this podcast brings value to you today.  Thanks for listening

Original Air Date: Dec 1, 2020*. Have you ever tried the practice of planning your day the night before?  It's something I used to do a few months ago and it really helped me stay on track by making a list of things I needed to do with times listed next to them for the next day.  I'll be starting this practice again and if you start doing it too then let me know (:

Original Air Date: Nov 30, 2020*. Today, I listened to The Rachel Hollis Podcast Ep. 171 with Leslie Odom Jr. and discovered this perspective shifting quote:  "We're not all in the same boat, but we're all in the same storm."  I enjoyed the realization this quote gifted me so I wanted to share the experience with you guys. 

Original Air Date: Nov 29, 2020* I didn't sleep well last night.  I was tossing and turning about some decisions but I hope this podcast gives something to someone else who may be finding themselves in a similar situation. 

Original Air Date: Nov 28, 2020* This is the last episode for the Core Values series.  I share an exercise with you all I hope helps guide you to define your core values better if that's something you need.  I also share a personal scenario for how I use my core values to guide me in my every day actions and decisions. 

Original Air Date: Nov 27, 2020*. Continuing on our series today, I read again from "The Subtle Art...." by Mark Manson and use some of his definitions to define good values and I compare them with some bad values.  

Original Air Date: Nov 26, 2020*. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!  Today is part two of Exploring Core Values series and I use Mark Manson's book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving an F***" to list some bad values to help us identify what those may look like.

Original Air Date: Nov 26, 2020* This is a series where I will share about bad values vs. good values.  The goal is to get insight on what our personal values are in order to refine or make sure our actions line up with who we are and what we want internally so our world reflects these values externally. 

Original Air Date: Nov 24, 2020* Are you typically a morning or a night person?

Original Air Date: Nov 23, 2020* Do you hate Mondays?  Do you see each Monday as a new week, a blank slate, to tackle new goals?  

Original Air Date: Nov. 22, 2020* Today, I talk about the man, the house, and the bank account I would have if my ideal life existed.  I also share how I deal with the disappointments of not having my "ideal" life, yet. The quote for today:  "Most people overestimate what they can do in a year but underestimate what they can do in ten years." -Bill Gates

Original Air Date: Nov 21, 2020* As promised, I will be talking about some of the content I find and feel has a positive impact on my life.  "The Social Dilemma" Netflix Documentary was a hot, shared topic throughout the social media world when it was first released.  In this episode, I talk about some of my main takeaways and the information that stood out most to me.  

Original Air Date: Nov 20, 2020* Blanche makes a guest appearance while I talk about what I'd like this podcast to give to people when they receive bad news or are going through a hard day.

Original Air Date: Nov 19, 2020* Today, I explore the concept of postponing gratification for those of us who have dreams and goals and why this skill of patience/delayed gratification may be necessary to seeing those goals come to life and thrive.

Original Air Date: Nov 18, 2020* On today's podcast, I let you know why I recorded my podcast at 5:30 a.m. and why I didn't let it wait until later.

Original Air Date: Nov 17, 2020* Today, I'm talking about how after I broke my foot I've resorted to scooting across floors, using crutches, or rolling around with computer chairs to get across the house.  Change is the only thing guaranteed in life and this experience has shown me just how adaptable and resourceful myself/humans can be.   Quote of the Day:  "In a world of change, the learners shall inherit the earth while the learned shall find themselves perfectly suited for a world that no longer exists." -Eric Hoffer

Original air date: Nov. 16, 2020* For those who don't know me, my name is RayLynn.  Some friends and family call me Ray.  About a week ago, I was mail carrier working extra hours, not taking vacations, and paying off loads of debt.  I was doing jiu jitsu and practicing yoga, daily.  Everything in my life felt as if it was falling in place.  I was on a roll until my foot snapped beneath me.  Literally.  I broke my foot. I'm not ready to say how.  All you need to know is when I did, my foot made three loud pops that sounded like 2x4s slapping together.  I fractured three bones going to my middle toes.  And just like that, I'm out of work for 6-8 weeks. Which brings me here...  Even though I can't drive, do my job, go grocery shopping by myself, or workout, I can do this.  I can start the short-form podcast I've been thinking about.  The podcast I've envisioned where I share content like podcasts, books, quotes, or stories that were interesting, helpful, or inspiring to me.  My only intentions for this podcast is for it to make you smile, feel encouraged, and brings in some inspiration.
