    Today, I'm sharing my conversation with Meg Lefauve, Oscar-nominated screenwriter for the Disney Pixar film, Inside Out.  
    It was so cool to be able to talk to Meg and learn more about the inner workings of a movie that has had such an impact on me and my parenting journey.
    We talk about the importance of embracing our inner Anger (especially as women), the power of self-awareness and emotional intelligence, lava, and so much more.

She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for co-writing the script for Pixar's INSIDE OUT.  She wrote the script for Pixar’s THE GOOD DINOSAUR which was nominated for a Golden Globe.

    Conditional vs. Unconditional Self Esteem and How it Impacts Our Relationship with Money

We learn what they both are and how we conditional self-esteem sets us up for a relationship with ourselves (and our money) rooted in lack of self-trust. I also share my thoughts on how to move out of conditional self-worth and into a space of unconditional self-worth.

    Learning to Be OK with What Is

    “Favorable situations are vitamins for the body; unfavorable situations are vitamins for the soul.” ~Dadashri
