Episode 105

Sparking JOY even in the darkest places

Ever thought about the power of joy, even in life's toughest moments?

Today, I'm joined by Kristen Sparks who has conquered abuse, addiction, and physical trauma to uncover an unbelievable joy and resilience. She emphasizes the importance of discarding obsolete narratives, embracing love's transformative power, and finding happiness in tiny moments of contrast.

"What I'm trying to get at is we have the ability to stop the craziness and the drama that we play in our heads and find that spark that literally does live. I, I say it's absolutely in the solar plexus.

We talked about perception and the importance of remembering that we all see things differently. And not taking things personally.

"That's what life is all about. It's this beautiful dream that we get to dream in any way we want it. And every morning I am so grateful to wake up. And take a good, deep breath. I'm grateful for the pains and the aches and the cat screaming, the dog barking. Because I'm awake. I'm alive. We get another day.

Amen to that peeps!

Why this chubby, bologna and mayonnaise sandwich eating child of the 50's ever ended up with a passion for all things health, fitness, and longevity is a mystery. I wanted to be a doctor as a child but my gifts were not in lab sciences but words and making science easy to understand. (I'm a science and research geek)
My soul insists on freedom and that drives the work I do with women. Freedom from disease, limitation, self-doubt--whatever form it takes--informs what I create and how I coach.
