• EP 72 Humility: Be Humble or not
    Jun 20 2022

    We are back this week with a very lively discussion on Humility: Be Humble or NOT. Episode 72 for The Heart of Chat Podcast is one that is near and dear to each of us. How do you know whether to be humble or not? What does being humble actually mean? Yes, there is a such thing as being too humble.

    Humility is sometimes taught to us growing up, or we emulate what is around us and what we are being shown. Being humble does not mean living in the shadows and not going after what we want in life. We can be humble and proud at the same time. Pride comes in many forms and one way that we talk about often is celebrating ourselves, our accomplishments, and life in general.

    Being our own cheerleaders in life boosts our confidence and we do not need to dim our light or shrink to make others feel comfortable. Now, the saying where there is a time and a place for everything…yes, this is true and we want to make space for other people when they need us so that the facets of being humble or humility does not turn into arrogance our part.

    In this episode, we share how you can celebrate yourself; have pride in what you have accomplished all while remaining grounded in the process. Don’t forget to shout from the rooftops all you are proud of and this where being humble or not comes into play.

  • Ep 68: The Power of Renewed Energy
    Apr 11 2022
    We love what we do! Speaking to each of you about our journey and how our energy is renewed and comes alive each time we record a podcast episode. We renew ourselves with every episode and each time we connect with you. How do you know when you need to re-energize?  One way is when you are dragging! We think Jeanette said it best. Everything from your inner peace and reflecting on what you need in your life brings you much-needed, renewed energy. Now back to “how do you know when you need to renew yourself?” Think about what you are missing in your life and at that very moment, are you tired, hungry, not getting enough sleep? Take all of this into account and be sure to check on your inner peace early and often. Renewed energy can come in many forms. Lynda talks about just sitting still on her couch and Shauna uses meditation to help renew herself. Entertainment is another way to renew yourself and you know The Heart of Chat loves entertainment! We have been checking out some new shows on TV and our members were able to listen and watch our Insecure recaps weekly during the last season of the show. Join the conversation online everywhere and register for the Owning Your Power Empowerment Session where we further the conversation on consistent practices. Whether you want to tap into organizing your space at home to going after that position you want, do it with grace and most of all, consistency.

    Apr 4 2022

    Celebrating others and ourselves is the focus of this episode on The Power of Celebrating Yourself. Such a fun episode and we drop plenty of gems on how to celebrate yourself, other people, and showing gratitude to those who celebrate you.

    We kicked off the episode celebrating Lynda and her family and the accomplishments of her son, Miles. He plays college basketball for Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. They just won the NCAA Division III National Championship in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Jeanette and Shauna shared in Lynda’s excitement and has been following this journey with Lynda over the years. Each of us have on Randolph-Macon shirts in the episode and be sure to watch the video! It is a fun time!

    Be sure to celebrate yourself and how can you do this? Everything from writing down your wins for the week, reciting them aloud, and grabbing a friend and kicking off a celebration. Bring the balloons, streamers, confetti – bring it all because you deserve it!

  • Ep 66: The Power of Consistency
    Mar 28 2022

    How do you spell Consistency? Con-sistency! That’s how we started this episode, The Power of Consistency. You can already tell how this episode is going to be and wait until you tune in! We talked about everything from being consistent with what you buy, what you watch on television, and of course in your goals.

    We touched on structure being a positive thing and we may have to color outside the lines a bit to re-energize our consistency. And guess what? That is perfectly ok! The main goal of getting to a consistent practice is to take action in your life every day. Take a small goal, a small step, and take the action to bring this to reality.
