And She Rises with Grit & Gratitude- Rise above your past trauma, loss and grief and transform into the woman you are destined to become

"Expectation is the mother of all frustration." - Antonio Banderas

A huge cause of frustration in our lives is simply unrealistic, unmet, or unclear expectations. That’s why properly managing expectations matters so much.

In today's episode we talk about the expectations we place on ourselves and the expectations we place on others, and the expectations that others have of us. We also discuss how you can effectively communicate with others about the expectations you have of them, to avoid any frustrations or conflict that could arise.

988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (now known as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), and is now active across the United States.

When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.

The previous Lifeline phone number (1-800-273-8255) will always remain available to people in emotional distress or suicidal crisis.

Fall is Harvest time here in Upstate New York. Here we are equal parts farming and wine country. This season of winning/harvesting/reaping what was sown really got me thinking about the seasons of life. 

One year ago today, on October 6, 2021, I planted a seed that I had no idea if it would produce fruit and I talk about the journey of that one decision and how it has changed the trajectory of my life. 

Tune in to hear my take on Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.
