Enlightenment of Change Connie Whitman

“Balance is not better time management, but better boundary management.  Balance means making choices and enjoying those choices.” – Betsy Jacobson. Lately, many people in their 30s have asked me how I was able to start a business, raise my two boys (who played travel hockey from the age of 5), and maintain a marriage for 32 years. 
The short answer is that I just put one foot in front of the other. Truly, there was no master's plan when I was in my 30s, knowing how to create a wonderful business and life.  I’ve learned to set clear boundaries with every choice, but that has come over time. 
This is why I chose this quote for today. It always boils down to boundaries and choices. We are the only ones who can control our future, so setting clear boundaries that you can live with is crucial.

“When you begin to talk in stories, your black-and-white words turn into color.  Your drab requests turn into a mission.  People find you to be more compelling.  And once that happens, others will see that stories work, and they’ll start telling stories, too.”  – Annette Simmons

As a multisensory learner, I learn much easier when I can see, hear, and try out new skills.

The human brain is so interesting, and stories are a wonderful tool if used properly.

“Decide which direction you are going in and take action. One decision at a time, one moment at a time.” — Akiroq Brost. I chose this quote today because you have heard me end my podcast episodes with the notion that learning new information is a beautiful thing. Doing nothing with that new knowledge and not taking action is a choice you and I get to make every day.  
 
It's not uncommon to hear of people who strongly desire to change their lives, seek knowledge, and then do nothing with the information they've learned. I know I am an action-taker.  Are you an action taker to create the change you are seeking? 
 
Today, I will discuss WHY we sabotage the change we’re seeking with my guest so that we can be aware of how it happens. Hopefully, this will help us keep moving forward.

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind, and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.” - B.K.S. Iyengar. I have changed many habits over the past 20 years, where I practice mind, body, and spirit daily so I and my business can thrive. It took me a long time to consider self-care a necessity, not a luxury.  Initially, I thought taking time for myself was selfish, and I felt like I was letting all the people around me, including my family, down.   
 
We are all works in progress.  We must keep reiterating to build our best habits and sustain a healthy, happy, long life.

“Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can't.” – Johnny Depp. Growing up, my older siblings took piano lessons.  I wanted nothing to do with it.  I wanted to go outside with my friends, run, play ball, ride my bike, jump off the swing set in our backyard, and just be free to play. 
 
Today, there are so many benefits for children's brain development that music can tap into and help children learn quicker just by understanding that music can be learned like a native language.  I want to repeat that - Music can be learned like a native language. 
Are you intrigued?

“Video marketing solidifies your online presence while building deep and meaningful relationships with your customers. It adds a personal touch to your brand while increasing your conversions!” - Lisa Lubin
 
A few years ago, the owner of WebTalkRadio, Mary Lou Davidson, was coaching me on becoming a better host and making my podcast interesting, fun, and engaging.  Then, one day, she told me, “You need to start recording your show using video.”  I couldn’t hear anything after that, as if in a time warp.  In my mind, I was thinking, “Did she tell me I need to record the show using video?  So people could see me! That’s crazy and not happening.” After a few minutes of her sharing the benefits of video, I buckled and embraced her recommendations.  That was about three years ago.  That is the best advice ever! 
 
I have become so comfortable on video that being on Zoom was like breathing when COVID hit.  I created a digital class, and yes, you guessed it, I use short videos to teach the content of our weekly group coaching calls.  Basically, for most businesses, using video isn’t an option. It’s a must-do. Do not fear; I have an expert to break this down into actionable pieces so you, too, can create some binge-worthy videos.
