Choosing to Create an Ideal Medical Clinic

When I first made the choice to seek out others who’d made a choice that created a ripple effect, Pamela Wible, a family practitioner, was my first connection.  She’d became disillusioned with the industrialization of the healthcare industry and assembly-line medical care and chose to create an ideal medical clinic where she could put the patient in charge.

“I’m opening a clinic that’ll be designed by you.” she told her patients. “Tell me what you want, tell me your wildest dreams.” And, they did. One hundred testimonies worth. [Read more…]

Choosing to Leave her Faith

Tova Mirvis, the author of A Book of Separation: A Memoir, made the choice to both divorce and to leave her orthodox faith and her community.

Raised in an orthodox Jewish community in Memphis, Tennessee she grew up feeling like there was a set path for her; one that her family was part of and one that was always expected would be her own. She knew from a young age that to stay inside a religious community meant she’d always have this sense of community and identity of who she was supposed to be in the world. Trying very hard to be that person, she married at a young age, had children, and was part of a very religious community where every choice was mapped out for her.

Finding Our Way Back: Peek Behind the Curtain

In this podcast I’m doing something different than I’ve done before — I’m taking you behind the curtain to my process in creating a new class that’s evolved from my journey of exploring choices. My vision for Finding Our Way Back: Healing the Rift, is to give you the tools to listen without judgment and speak without anger to those you’re in relationship with, who matter to you, whether it be a child, sibling, romantic partner or friend. It’s for you if you care about the relationship you’re in, but it’s not where you want it to be, and you crave a way to get there.

In this episode I invite you to listen to a conversation I had with my writing coach, Elise, who supported me to pull the brilliance from me (which is usually something I do for others) by asking intuitive questions and allowing me space to answer. If you’ve considered creating your own class or product, this process will hopefully be helpful to you.

Choosing to Speak 50 Times in 50 Weeks

As I’ve made the choice and commitment to host my podcast, because it matters to me (a lot) and I hope it’ll matter to you as well, I interviewed my good friend Patty Lennon about her choice to speak 50 times in 50 weeks.

She made this choice at the challenge of her mentor knowing it would allow her to create the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time. Now, years later, she’s sharing the transformation she underwent, and teaching others how to do what she did so they can get their message out into the world, and break thru the resistance that comes up when you consider speaking, that can only be removed by the action of more speaking.
