Hey there, welcome to What’s On Top!  This is the space where I get to share what’s been on my mind, in my heart, or just in the air around me lately.  Each episode will be a mix of personal stories, trending topics, and things that just deserve a little spotlight.  Sometimes I’ll be solo, and sometimes I’ll have a friend to talk with.  What’s on top is a phrase I have used for a long time. It just describes the things that are sitting closest to the surface, whether they are on my mind or in my heart.  Leave a comment if something resonates with you, or if there is something you want me to explore with you. I really hope you come back and join me for an episode of “what’s on top”.   Until next time, take care of yourself. And don’t forget to pause once in a while and ask: What’s On Top? (What's on Top is the newest iteration of the former podcasts Inside Out and From The Heart. You can still access the former episodes).

    S2 E3: Do Our Choices & Values Align?

    What’s on top for me today is all about choices!   We make thousands of choices daily, but some decisions leave a permanent mark. We don’t always see the impact of our choices right away, but every decision plants a seed.   Join me today as I reflect on how the process of making choices aligns or does not align with the values that bring me closer to the path I want to journey on. “Your life changes the moment you make a new, congruent, and committed decision." — T Tony Robbins www.jstratton.com

    S2 E2: Being Present & FEAR

    I recently discovered a definition of fear that has really changed how I go through my life's experiences. It’s really simple and it’s really hard… Yet, I have practiced it and it works!    Join me today as I talk about tools that work to limit fear and for staying in the present moment.  Music: Beauty Lives in Me by Johannes Bornlof.    www.jstratton.com

    S2 E1: What's Your Happy Place?

    In this season opening episode I share some insight about where my happy place is.  These solo episodes are meant to be short, to give you a short break from whatever you're doing, and maybe even be inspirational.   What’s on top for me today is about perceptions people make by looking at me and where I feel most safe and at home, which really boils down to where is my happy place?   What's on top for your today?  Where are your tanks filled up?  Where, what or with whom is your happy place?

    S1:E1 Is it really procrastination? 7 tools for moving through analysis paralysis.

    In the season opening episode I share some of my struggle with starting this podcast, my "analysis paralysis", but really the podcast is just the event that got me going deeper.  It could be writing a paper, having a hard conversation, starting to take back your health....anything we are not doing and want to do.  Is my perfectionism being used as a shield and stalling tactic?  What is the perfectionism covering up?  I will explore these, and other questions, that come up when we are stuck.  I will also talk you through 7 tools on how to  move through the stage of being stuck.  www.jstratton.com
