Love Your Story is a podcast about the power of our personal story, how we can use our stories to empower us, take the prerogative to reframe the stories that hold us back, all while celebrating the unique heroic journey we each take. I interview people who have experienced deep difficulty and Olympic-style accomplishment so we can hear their stories and see how to walk those paths. We talk about techniques for changing the stories that keep us small, we celebrate true life stories, and we empower ourselves to live with intention. Story is a powerful tool, and when you know how to use it on purpose you become powerful.

    267: Quick Chat - How to Transform Your Perception of Wealth with Cortney McDermott
    Welcome to the Love Your Story Podcast - Quick Chat: That’s one great inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less. I’m your host Lori Lee. Today’s show is about how to transform your perception of money and wealth and our quickie discussion is with Corney McDermott, author of Give Yourself Permission.
    We explore the idea of shifting the way you think about something as crucial as money, for a different more abundant mindset. 
    Join the audio program to hear me and my co-host Cortney McDermott:
    Mindset is everything and a right mindset about wealth - creating it with intentions - is a key to survival and living big. This is part of creating the life we want on purpose.
    We’re talking about money and wealth today for 3 reasons - 1 - it was one of the top content topics on the show for 2023 so I know the audience has an interest. Who doesn’t want to learn how to live more abundantly? 2 - I think the right mindset to something as important as wealth is key to achieving it… what story are we telling ourselves about money and 3 - the ideas we’ll discuss around this concept are really beneficial to simply living well - which you’ll see as Corney gives us a quick run down.
    Cortney, In your book there is a chapter called “Make a lot of Money.” In that chapter you have 5 principles you say are related to wealth accumulation. Let’s talk about those. 

    Tune in to hear the principles...

    We talk about
    *Where love is Money is.
    *Gratitude is the foundation of wealth
    *Wealth is inside work
    and much more...

    Episode 266: The Beautiful Life Designer - Interview Edwina Murphy Doomer

    Episode 266: The Beautiful Life Designer - Interview Edwina Murphy Doomer

    Episode 266: The Beautiful Life Designer Interview Edwina Murphy Doomer
    Welcome to the Love Your Story podcast! I’m your host Lori Lee.
    I’m reading a book called Change It Up. The entire premise of the book is a comparison of how scared we get of change, but also how much we need novelty and how refreshed we are by changes we choose - new hair cut, wearing a new color, going to a place you’ve never been, and even sometimes the shifts that happen after a divorce or or a loss. In the moment it’s a struggle, but many times it’s those moments of change, even loss that propel us into some of our best and healthiest paths. 
    Stay tuned for my talk with Edwina Murphy Droomer, the great women empowerment coach, we’ll hear her story of how divorce was the cross-roads to greater things and then we’ll talk about creating a higher purpose master plan.
    Are you ready to create a life you love living?

    Like many women, Edwina's metamorphosis sprung from her darkest hour as a suddenly single, broke mother with four children. With no choice but to sit firmly in the driver's seat of her life, Edwina set about taking back control of creating the life she dreamed of living. Now, as a Professional Interviewer and Women's Coach, Edwina is a powerhouse in the fields of vision building and transformation. She has supported thousands of women to create an exciting vision for the health, wealth, time and love they crave and then provides the support and accountability to bring that vision to life.
    Join the audio program to hear:

    Edwina's story of growing up - as an adult, and learning to source better energy and beautiful results.
    She said, "Like many women, I unlocked my strength and moxie during the darkest hours (weeks, months, year) following the breakdown of my first marriage and becoming a suddenly single, broke mum with four small children. 
    For the first three and a half decades of my life, I was on a mission to prove myself worthy. Worthy of what I was never quite sure of, however, at its core was wanting to feel worthy of love and belonging.
    All the while raising four kids as a single mum and running a flower farm. But still, I suffered from not enough syndrome.
    Then one day, while sitting on my veranda taking photos of my children, I had a ‘what the heck moment’. Looking at my vibrant, happy, beautiful kids running around amongst the roses on our flower farm, it dawned on me…
    I did this. ME! I made this beautiful life for us.

    The proof was in front of my eyes. It is not about comparison or perfection; it is simply about doing the best I can with what I know, being grateful for the life I have now, and striving to grow into all I can be.
    That shift in mindset was the start of a whole new life."

    Join us as we talk about braking through the worthiness barrier, seeing how powerful you are, and how shifting your perception of self changes what you can do. What do you want women to understand about themselves?

    I love the part where we talk about taking responsibility and how an empowered human takes 100% responsibility.

    This beautiful life designer shows us how she did it and shares some of the most important insights she shares with her clients.
    Conclusion:  On Edwina’s website there is a quote that is so compassionate. It...

    Episode 264: How to Tell Your Story - Interview Amanda Edgar

    Episode 264: How to Tell Your Story - Interview Amanda Edgar
    Welcome to the LYS Podcast! Every person I interview on this show has a story. They share those stories with us - the wins, the losses, the heartbreak and the learning. Man! There are some great stories on this podcast. 
    As I’ve spoken with people  - in general - about their stories, often people say, “I don’t have a story. I just have a regular old life. Nothing to hear here.” 
    My guest today is Amanda Edgar. After a life in academia she decided  to leave the university and founded Page and Podium Press, a publishing company that helps people share their stories and create world-changing books. Tune in as I talk with Amanda about finding and sharing your stories.
    Bio:
    Amanda Edgar is an award winning author, ghostwriter, book coach and founder of Page and Podium Press. She is the co-author of the forthcoming Summer of 2020: George Floyd and the Resurgence of the Black Lives Matter Movement. She has been invited to speak at organizations such as FedEx and the US Department of State where she shares philosophy on issues of identity, and socially conscious storytelling.

    Tune into the audio program to hear us talk about questions like:
    Tell me your story - the juicy bits - and how did you come to be a story expertWhat if someone wants to write their memoir - why should they? how do they start?How do we use our personal stories to empower others?I’m told that you like to talk about the science of story telling and how we can make our stories land every time. Tell me about that.Let’s talk about vulnerability - some of the most powerful stories are those that we are the most afraid to share…how vulnerable is too vulnerable? Where is that line?When you help someone write a book about themselves how do you generally organize it - is it stories by theme, or chronologically, what does that look like?I know you primarily work with leaders who want to share and publish their stories to support their teams and career, but what advice do you have for regular folks who are considering writing their personal stories?How can someone find you if they want to work with you?

    How to contact Amanda:

    WRAP UP:
    I’ve been working on my father’s life history. He’s still alive so I can ask him lots of questions, which is huge, but it’s no small task trying to put a life down on the page. I’ve also seen life history companies that send out a question to their clients and their clients write about it and then they compile the stories into a history, one story at a time. I’ve found as I’ve studied story that we use stories - the function of stories is varied - we use them to show that we are part of a group - like someone telling a story about how they rode a certain mountain bike trail to illustrate their prowess in biking. We use stories to warn - telling a story of narrowly escaping a tight situation in a dark park is a warning for others not to walk in dark parks alone. We share stories to teach, for example sharing a personal story about how you learned a lesson - what did you learn from your divorce, let’s say.  I could go on. But as you consider your stories - sharing them and organizing them, recording them or publishing them, let me assure you that YOU do have a story. Your story is not any more regular than anyone else - we all have a heroes journey.

    We’ll see you in two weeks for our Quick Chat episode. Please share this episode with someone who is thinking about writing or sharing their story and hope on a href="http://LoveYourStoryPodcast.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

    Episode 263: Quick Chat - Making Something Beautiful from the Broken and Discarded Stuff of Life

    Episode 263: Quick Chat - Making Something Beautiful from the Broken and Discarded Stuff of Life

    Episode 263: Quick Chat - Making Something Beautiful from the Broken and Discarded Stuff of Life
    Welcome to the Love Your Story Podcast. Today we are starting off the new Quick Chat series - this is the first one. Let me know what you think of it. It's one inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less.
    I’ve always loved thrift shopping. I think it started because I’ve carefully budgeting has been important to me and I love a bargain. I have no serious problem with sharing clothes that have been warn by someone else - just wash them first. I’ve found wonderful treasures, unexpected booty, every summer at yard sales. Every year I find the woman who is retiring all her craft supplies and I buy everything from ribbon, to tiny brads, to unopened packages of name-brand card stock, to perfectly cellophane wrapped embellishments that would be a perfect addition to my card making supplies - my art is making hand-made cards. I take the discarded supplies and make beautiful hand-made cards that I send all over the country, sell, or trade. I dare say that half the holiday accouterment for my home has also been purchased from women who set up tables in their yards to find new homes for the things they were tired of and make a buck doing it. This type of sharing, of recycling, feels fun and woven with hope that you’ll find the perfect treasures for pennies on the dollar. In this way we use and reuse - enjoy an item while it is with us and then set it free to continue it’s life in a fresh new space with someone else who will love the novelty of seeing it anew.  
    The discarded finding new life through new eyes.
    My first dog was an black, curly, eight pound miniature poodle. My ex-husband’s sister had somehow ended up with brother and a sister puppies, and the little miss had been pushed around by her brother, who was slightly larger, as well as the four little boys in that family that thrived on teasing and rough housing. Molly-dog wasn’t doing well.  On a weekend when MY boys were with their dad I got the phone call.
    “Can we bring home a dog?  It’s really nice and little and I promise we’ll take care of it. Just for a few days?”
    I told them absolutely not. I wasn’t going to deal with puppy puddles and shedding in my house. Never. They continued their plight: “She doesn’t shed, she’s been potty trained, she comes with her own kennel, dog dish, and she’s had all her shots.” 
    “Please mom! Just for a couple days while Tina and Doug are in town?” 
    I allowed with the agreement that she’d stay in the garage at nights and that she could only stay for two days.  That darling, bullied little dog never left, and never spent one night in the garage. From the day she entered the front door, until she died years later, she rarely, if ever left my side. She was always afraid of other dogs, and people. But, I was her person. And what an honor that was. 
    The something beautiful that came from this bullied puppy, failing to thrive in her current home, was a love of my life. We made a beautiful life together, and as is often the case with dogs, we think we are giving them a home, but they become the home for our hearts. Something very beautiful came from the broken.
    My own life isn’t so different from these spaces of working with the broken and discarded to create something better, even infinitely more precious. After three marriages and three divorces, broken is a word I understand. Broken heart. Broken home. Broken dreams. These are words we hear all the time but each one of them is loaded with heavy burdens and crippling, dark days. I think it’s fair to say we all know the word ‘broken,’ for life  is always full of unexpected challenges, and everyone will have dark-nights of the soul. But here’s what I found…. years later and with focus and effort I built something better on the ashes of those...

    Episode 262: Lost on the Slopes - Lessons Beyond the Mountain: Interview Nick Shaw

    Episode 262: Lost on the Slopes - Lessons Beyond the Mountain: Interview Nick Shaw

    Episode 262: Lost on the Slopes - Lessons Beyond the Mountain: Interview Nick ShawWelcome to the Love Your Story podcast. Today’s show takes us into the story of the death of a 9-year-old boy after a ski accident at Big Sky in Montana. The tragedy, as you would expect, brought his parent’s to their knees, on a path none of us want to walk. But Nick Shaw - today’s guest -  sought meaning as the life-line to hold to as he moved forward, and part of his healing process involved putting it down in writing, sharing the lessons he learned from his son. Stay tuned as he shares his story and as we discuss his book: My Teacher, My Son: Lessons on Life, Loss and Love.
    Nick Shaw, William’s father,  an accomplished executive coach, and the author of My Teacher, My Son, joins us today to share his story and the things he’s learned along the way.

    Nick, welcome to the show.

    I wanted to read a quick review of your book:
    Kelly McGonigal, PhD, Research Psychologist at Stanford University writes:
    “It seems impossible that a book about unimaginable grief could offer so much hope, yet that is the gift of My Teach, My Son. With breath taking honesty, Nick Shaw shows how love, joy and continued connection co-exist with loss, change and challenge. The courage of Nick’s self-reflection empowers each of us to find a way forward. A truly heart empowering read.”
    Very high praise.

    Tune into the audio program to hear answers to the following discussion questions:

    I know your story - I finished your book last week - but of course none of the listeners know who you are yet, so can we please start with your story? Tell us about your family and about that day.In dealing with this devastating loss, you chose to look for lessons. What have been the greatest lessons you have learned?In your book you say:
    “I took a six-month leave of absence from work to be
    with Susie and Kai and to try to make sense of everything. This pause gave
    me the time and space to reflect and ask, “Is this the way I want to go on
    living my life?” While the answer is important, I found that taking the time
    to ask the question is more important.”   TELL ME ABOUT THIS. I LOVE THE QUESTION.

    As your healing progresses and a year later you and Susan have your third son, you say, In another section of the book,
    “ I had to be able to hold both my despair and my happiness at the same time. I had to accept that I could be happy and sad at the same time. I could revel in the delight of holding mynewborn son and at the same time be devastated by the loss of my oldest son. I could delight in sharing new and exciting experiences with Kai and at the same time be shattered by the fact that I will never be able to share those same experiences with William. I had to stop letting one feeling diminish the other; I made room for both feelings to coexist.
    I feel like this is a healthy mindset that allows room for the complexity of the emotional journey. Talk to us about this idea...

    When we are going through something traumatic, how do we not let the emotion and trauma just take over? How do we maintain our ability to choose mindset?
