This is a podcast for anyone who wants to renew their mindset. It’s for those who want to step out of their comfort zone to learn, grow, and expand their knowledge. It’s for those who want to embrace change, vulnerability, and the messiness of life. And it’s for those who don’t mind listening to raw, honest stories. (Although my podcast is under the self-improvement category, I cannot guarantee that I will not be talking about my love of comedy, space, and vegan baking on the show.) Have questions for Vanessa?

    Lessons of 2024: Reframe Your Perspective

    In my last few episodes, I've been talking about the book "How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill and Their Caregivers" by Toni Bernhard and how it has helped me navigate the physical and emotional recovery process after getting into a car accident recently.   My final episode on this book is another lesson I've been relearning this year...reframing your perspective.

    Lessons of 2024: Small Changes, Big Results

    Happy 2024!  It's a new year!  Which means, a new you…right?  Not necessarily!  I believe it's more about sticking to your values with whatever choices and decisions we are making in our lives, at any point during the year.
