Rate ShowMessage in the Middle...FROM PEOPLE 'LIVING' IT!
As the world continues to feel like it is spinning faster than ever, and new technologies seem to pop up daily...WHAT ABOUT US, the people 'in the MIDDLE'?!?
At age 57, I feel it.
And in my recent spot as a featured guest on Marianne's podcast, we got to discuss many of the challenges WE have felt...and he we navigated through them, to help shine a light for others who may be feeling lost, confused, frustrated and pressured.
Marianne's energy is amazing, and I was honored to be invited to share what my life (despite all the highest highs as well as the crashed & burns) has taught me about Visualization, Kindness, Gratitude, Grief and so much more!

Podcast offers such great topics that are relatable.
I listen weekly and the topics and guests are just amazing. I highly recommend the most recent which is a two part series. The guest is Ashley McCombs Mizell who suddenly went blind after being diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. She is a mom of three boys. Her strength and courage through learning her new normal stopped me in my tracks. Listen to her story and subscribe to this podcast. You will not be disappointed.

Great listen!
Such lovely insight. Thank you sharing your lovely “messages” ❤️ I loved the episode with Katrina McGhee and designing your life with intentions. She said “it’s ok to fail and failing actually gets you closer to your success”. Love that inspiration!
