Are the Holidays a time for nostalgia and joy for you or a time of pain and loneliness?

We can’t offer a solution to change this, but we can be a voice to say to you or anyone you know - no matter what the holidays mean for you, you’re not alone.

Grief is universal, something we will all experience at some point in our lived. Communal grieving offers something that we cannot get when we grieve by ourselves. Through validation, acknowledgement and witnessing, communal grieving allows us to experience a level of healing that is deeply and profoundly freeing.

We need to begin to see grief not as foreign entity and not as an alien to be held down or caged up, but as a natural process. As the recipient of someone’s grief we also must understand that it is OK for someone to express pain.

In today’s world, most of us carry grief and do not even know it. The consequences are that even with your most intimate and trustworthy friends you might feel like, “I am burdening them.” Crying in front of others is too often a forbidden fruit. We learn to compartmentalize our grief because expressing it in an unwelcoming place will only lead to more grief. We are taught that the people who are closest to us have no way of holding us when we fall apart.
Each of us has a basic human right to that genuine love, happiness and freedom.

Success- What matters more, talent or hard work?
Does success truly breed success?

Have you ever met someone so successful in their field of business that it seems like they were born to do it? Some individuals make the entrepreneur life look so effortless that you start to wonder if it's in their DNA. In this episode Cat & Jen discuss the importance of early exposure as a stepping stone to success.

Success in any field of life is not due to inborn traits. Rather it is achieved through experiences, knowledge and passion. The same goes for business. Entrepreneurs are not marked from birth; they are people who made a series of good decisions in their businesses and lives.

What does your personal energy say about?
Simply put, personal energy is the amount of stamina, vigour, or "juice" you have to complete a given task or engage in a particular activity. Your energy is an integral part of who you are and how you perceive the world. Energy awareness ensures that we pay attention to the things that are important to our happiness and well-being, while they are happening.

Why is Energy Awareness Important?
When you have low energy, it can affect your life in many ways:

Physically – you may find it more difficult to work or do what you love.
Emotionally – you may feel burdened by the demands of others and lash out at them, causing your relationships to suffer.
Mentally – you may feel confused, make poor decisions, or let others decide things for you.
Spiritually – your life may feel empty, hopeless or overwhelming.

BUT when your energies are strong and healthy, your life improves dramatically! You have energy to spare. Your relationships become fun and joyful. Your love flows. Your mind is clear and decisive. Your sense of self expands and your creativity bubbles up with new ideas for self-expression. Life becomes exciting and meaningful.
