How do you live a good life?

If you are interested in people and their journey through change and challenge, then you are in the right place. I choose my guests because they have a story and look like they have some answers.

Our conversation is based on just 5 questions. But that is the route and direction for a life well lived.

    Sacred Values and Red Lines.

    Sacred Values and Red Lines.

    Have you ever wondered where your sense of right and wrong comes from? This week, I had an amazing chat with Marty Cornish, where we explored his journey and the importance of values in his life. That podcast is here. The show and our conversation brought me back to the topic of value and, more importantly, the sacred ones: What are your redlines? Because they are rooted in a value.The point is that our early life experiences, culture, and role models shape our values. However, we are mostly unaware of them or how they control our lives and decision-making processes. 
     
    In this shortcast, we delved into the importance of understanding and expressing our values to live a fulfilling life. Whether it's kindness, honesty, or another core value, knowing what truly matters to you can lead to greater happiness. There is also a little exercise to help you discover your values. 📝

    Miriam Ismail : Here on a Mission

    This release takes us back to October 2021. Miriam had a successful career in finance, working in Fortune 500 companies, getting a PhD, and teaching finance. But she knew there was more to her life.Like all of these conversations, they never date.  If you are looking for focus coaching, the link is here.  Miriam Ismail exudes passion for life and always has. She credits her optimistic outlook to her mother and says she has always had the capacity to see the positive side of things, even when they are challenging.
    Through our conversation you will discover how she has combined her passion and zest for life with her desire to enable others to excel in their own purpose and ‘mission’ in life.
     
    I asked Miriam what she wanted to share with my viewers,, and she responded with three things she wanted to share with you.
    The first is to know that we are energy beings with a human experience and are here on a mission. Once we know and understand this, our whole perspective changes.
    She recommends treating time efficiently and wisely, focusing on learning, and evolving in whatever topic you are aligned with. 
    Miriam believes these three things offer the ultimate step to having a fulfilling life. She believes this is because everything we learn takes us further into life, and that is where we will know what our true calling and ‘mission’ in life is.
     
     
    Although we come at life from different backgrounds and perspectives there is a lot of alignment in what Miriam and I want for our clients.
