  2. #94 - Finding Your True Match this Valentine's Day and Taking Care of Yourself in the Process

    #94 - Finding Your True Match this Valentine's Day and Taking Care of Yourself in the Process

    Happy Valentine's Day! Today's episode I discuss the importance of remaining happy during this Valentine's Day whether or not your have a partner. Valentine's Day should be a thoughtful reminder of the importance of self-love, self-care, and your true emotional well-being. Every year it seems that Valentine's Day places these large expectations on one saying that if you don't have a partner, it is a waste of time to celebrate it. well, phooey on that I say! I began giving "self-love shopping tours" back in 2015 to help women remember that it's O.K. NOT to have a partner. They are still worthy of love. Instead, it should be a reminder that we can put ourselves first and take great care of ourselves since we're always at the hand of taking care of others. Today I discuss some of the things to think about when looking for your best partner. It's also important to take care of yourself as well with or with one. Self-care isn't selfish, it's imperative to keep you sustainable as you reach your goals. There's nothing more important than finding happiness within and not thinking of all of the externals that might help bring happiness to your heart. There's a huge misconception that happiness is dependent on our external factors such as being in love, having a fancy car, a big house, a new baby, etc. But true happiness comes from within. It is a choice we must make for it to be true. Today's episode is a little nudge for you to find joy and fulfillment within yourself. I also cover the importance of celebrating all forms of love including platonic, familial, and self-love. So grab your chocolate heart, your hot cocoa and join us. I'll see you inside. Here's to hearts, puppies and rainbows, Love Always, Dawn-Marie XOXO

    #89 Live Joyfully with a Purpose with Juliette Valle

    Seasons Greetings My Lovely Drumsters,  I hope you had an amazing holiday season and that 2022 brings you all the love, dreams, and fun goodies life has to offer. Do you love Christmas songs?  They immediately seem to make the season of the holidays festive and I don’t think Christmas would be the same without them.  They seem to be a genre of music that can make you cry, laugh, or just have fun with the family and friends for some sing-alongs.  I started a collection of Christmas albums after my parents passed because it was one of the traditions we had in our house growing up.  They always made me feel like they were there when I’d listen to them.  You’re probably asking me, “Why are we talking about Christmas tunes?” Well for starters it's because today's guest is the lovely Juliette Valle who has created her first album, a wonderful Christmas album titled “Joyfully”.  Not only is it one of the most beautiful sounding Christmas albums, but there’s also a great cause that will be helped as it sells.  She is donating 100% of the profits to the National Kidney Foundation (a cause near and dear to her heart).  And, this means to the world to me as both my mom and brother were Dialysis patients.   Juliette is here today to discuss her current title holder of The Miss Florida Pageant (a title not to be taken lightly). Her new album, and how she’s making an impact with it, and how she balances it all.   Juliette is not only a young beautiful woman on the outside, but, she seems to have a heart of gold.  She’s a tremendously talented opera singer (and she’s only a junior in college).  She’s been a classically trained vocalist since she was 8 years old.  She holds two state MPA Vocalchampionships for the category of Opera Performance in a Foreign Language.  In 2015 she was admitted to Florida Grand Opera's teen program and became a prodigy for its Young Artists Learning Academy (YALA).  Juliette is currently an undergraduate at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami majoring in Political Science with minors in Broadcast Journalism, Music,...

    #88 Have Yourself a Celtic Angel Christmas with Olivia Bradley & Molly Elizabeth Gibson

    Do you believe in Angels? I do. On Thanksgiving morning I was sitting at the beach doing some editing when along came a few folks strolling along the shoreline. They stopped to have a chat and I overheard one of them say "we kick off our tour tomorrow" so, of course, my ears perked up. I asked them what they did and Olivia said "we have a group called The Celtic Angels" she sings, dances, and plays the Irish drum. Olivia Bradley and Molly Elizabeth Gibson of the Celtic Angels Christmas show are here today to share their journey on the tour and how you just never know who and how you'll get your next gig.  Olivia is a vocalist, performer, and Irish dancer based out of Atlanta, Georgia.  She has performed with professionals such as Emmet Cahill, Sarah Brightman, John Doyle, and Dave Curley.  Olivia has won the Ambassador Award in 2015 and Senior Scholarship in 2020 from Irish Traditions Atlanta, a regional branch of Comhaltas which is an organization involved in the preservation and promotion of Irish traditional music. Additionally, she serves as a private voice instructor with the First Redeemer Conservatory of Music and Fine Arts in Cumming, Georgia. Olivia is thrilled to be touring with Celtic Angels and feels incredibly blessed for the opportunity.Learn more about Olivia and stay in touch with her at:FB:  Olivia Bradley MusicIG:  CelticAngelsShowFB:  CMIPresentsCelticAngelsWant a sneak peek of the show?  Check out the video highlights here:https://youtu.be/HdOW3e9nSAMLet's stay in touch:IG:  @lildrummergirl55FB:  facebook.com/groups/lildrummergirlIf you like the show and would like to support it, please go to https://patreon.com/podcastnetwork Thank you for your support and happy new year!!
