Jammin the Journey Denise

What is the first thing we do when we see a Construction Zone Ahead sign? If you are like me, you panic! Your mind starts racing. You are already assuming traffic will be backed up. You start worrying if you will make your appointment on time and on and on and on. Our brain automatically goes into "what-if" mode. What if I am late to my appointment? What if there is an accident? What if I can't get off at my exit.....All because we saw a Construction Zone Ahead sign! In life, future events can have the same effect on us. We know of something coming up; a surgery, a visit from a relative, a test, etc. and before we know it, we are consumed with so many negative thoughts about something in the future that we forget to enjoy being in the present. After recording this podcast, I almost didn’t publish it because it is honestly one of the most raw and challenging podcasts I have done to date. I found myself not sticking to my notes, going off “script” and totally fumbling over my words. I actually found my brain going to the “what-ifs” I talk about in the podcast. But then I remembered my purpose for beginning this podcast….to hopefully help anyone who is traveling their journey and find themselves struggling. And y’all, I was struggling! Struggling to talk about a subject I am struggling with on my journey. I too need to stop worrying about future events which can create ideas in my head that may not even exist; stop allowing negativity to take over my thoughts and stop going into what-if mode! I had to tell myself  I’VE GOT THIS and hit publish! So that is exactly what I did! 

I hope as you listen, you feel the honesty and total vulnerability in my voice and it touches you in a very positive and uplifting way. 

Because I am learning how important it is to slow down, pump the brakes and take care of our mental and emotional health, I wanted to discuss some very manageable ways we can make that happen. The way we feel about ourselves and others can be so beneficial in dealing with everyday difficulties and in turn make us more positive and productive as we continue our journey to finding our best self and most purpose filled life.

I’m SO excited about this episode!! Join me as Krista and I discuss not only the detours she has taken on her journey but THE biggest detour.....and how she used it to better her life and get her to the place she is now on her journey.

Join me as I interview Brooke Berry while we discuss her move to Nashville and the impact this decision had on her life. This interview is raw. It sometimes gets staticky and that’s how I like it. I want you to always know you are getting the truth in it’s most natural form. We discuss family, friends and basic roadblocks she encountered as well as the positive changes she’s made and how Changing Lanes on her journey has turned into one of her most positive experiences.

We all hit ROADBLOCKS on our journey but how we deal with them is what counts. Tune in to this episode and discover a peaceful and positive way to manage those roadblocks to keep you moving on your journey to find your best, most purpose filled life!!

In this Episode I get uncomfortably honest as I share some of my own baggage and talk about the dark and lonely place I was when I realized I deserved more and took my first step in Re-Routing my journey!
