    Episode 120: Following Your True Calling with Emily Carpenter

    Hello Define YOU Crew! I am so excited YOU are here! Welcome to the Define YOUniversity Podcast! In this week’s episode, Emily Carpenter is joining us on the podcast! I was recently introduced to Emily via social media, as we are both local to the Rochester, NY area! I immediately fell in love with her business and knew I wanted to bring her on the show! Emily is the founder of SAGE Rochester which stands for Support, Advocate, Grow and Educate. On her website https://www.sagerochester.com/ her mission reads: Our mission is to support families and individuals with different abilities across multiple environments, cultivate independence, and foster growth. When asked, “Why SAGE Rochester?” Emily shares: "​As a special education teacher, I commonly see the disconnect between a student’s routine and independence at school and their routine and independence at home. Often, a child is more independent at school. Schools provide supports and/or strategies such as visual schedules, visuals, timers, etc., to foster independence in the classroom.  When the strategies and supports used in schools are available for the home, a child is able to cultivate more independence, growth, and success.” ​​ -Emily Carpenter Founder, SAGE Rochester As Emily shares in the episode, she was a special education teacher who turned her passion of helping students learn social skills into her career. She has built SAGE into an amazing company today and I know it will continue to grow each year! Her message is simple, yet profound! If you have an idea on your heart…go after it! I love that so much! I hope YOU love this episode, as I know I was inspired by Emily’s energy and passion for the field! Enjoy!

    Episode 116: Purposefully Present: 5 Action Steps for Staying Present

    Hello Define YOU Crew! I am so excited YOU are here! Welcome to the Define YOUniversity Podcast! In this week’s episode, we’re focusing on being present! In today's fast-paced world, it's so easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of constant distractions and thoughts about the past or future. Sometimes, it feels like my mind is going through it’s own version of tug-of-war. Constantly being pulled from worries from the past and fear about the future. On the other hand, we constantly hear about how important it is to stay present as this is essential for finding inner peace and fulfillment. So with that, how can we find common ground to understand our thoughts and practice being present in every moment? In true transparency, this is something I continue to work on each day - after all it is a process we get to practice every day! But, I do have some steps I have found great momentum with, and I’d love to share those with YOU. These five action steps have helped me stay present lately even among the busy days of being a behavior specialist, wife and mom of two young girls, entrepreneur and more! By implementing these steps, YOU too can cultivate a greater sense of calm and be ready to stay present even when faced with ‘all the things’. Five Steps Shared in the Episode: Letting go of the Unfinished  Ditching Arbitrary Timelines  Leaving Shouldville behind - connect to beliefs  Being comfortable with uncomfortable  Saving Nothing for Later Take a listen and of course let me know what resonates with you and what you will taking away from the episode!
