Stressed? Overwhelmed? We all as humans are likely to do the dance with stress and overwhelm. The human experience is not easy.

Deep Breath. It is often so hard to keep going when you get beaten up left and right.

But guess what? You have the choice to do things differently. Every day you have the opportunity to start over. This is the gift that we are given as humans. We get caught up in the minutiae of life. We think that what we are doing is the right thing to do because it is comfortable. Comfort is just like routine. Routine is necessary but it is like living in a comfort zone.

According to the website science of people:

Comfort zone

If you’re starting at ground zero, this is the state you’re in. It feels secure, and you feel in control because you’re familiar with this space and know what to expect.

For instance, eating the same breakfast every morning and denying any other food because it’s not in your routine is a perfect example of staying within your comfort zone.

Learning zone

The learning zone is the cure to the fear zone. As the zone title suggests, this is where you learn about the new endeavor you’re about to engage in and acquire new skills to overcome the challenge.

Perhaps you learn about how oat milk is great for you. You watch YouTube videos on how it’s made, making you feel comfortable about adding it to your breakfast menu.

Growth zone

Here is where you take what you’ve learned and try it out.

The growth zone is where you learn to set new goals and live them out, regardless of how well you do. The goal is to realize your strengths and use them to obtain new outcomes.

Get Obsessed with us. Collectively we are a nutritionist, a master certified life coach, an attorney, and a self-esteem expert. We dive into topics that uncover the essence of the human experience. Our stories are one of kicking fear in the face and taking a leap of faith.

We are equally obsessed with the works of Brene Brown and are inspired to study and understand the 30 core emotions. Each week we will explore another emotion, talk to experts in their field and inspire you to live the life you are meant to be living.

We are Julie Lokun, JD, Tia Morell Walden, Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and Mika Altidor, Certified Life Coach. Join us for the conversation, and more importantly be a part of the conversation.

Romance novels have been brushed off as undeserving of literary value for years. In recent years, however, there has been a shift in how people view romance novels. Writers of romance novels are beginning to earn respect for their work, and readers are beginning to see the value in them as well.

There's something about a good romance novel that just draws us in, and we can't help but root for the characters to find their happily ever after. These stories have a way that can transport you to another world and believe in the power of love.

If you're like Julie, you love a good romance novel. But have you ever wondered how these great authors come up with the stories and characters? And more importantly, why have they chosen this as their purpose in life?

In this episode, we will explore the minds of seven fantastic romantic authors from the Wild World Press and find out what motivates them to write stories of love and passion. From personal experiences to simply following their heart, these writers have different reasons for doing what they do.

The Wild Rose Press’ new series, Passport to Pleasure, revolves around erotic romantic stories having an American character traveling to exotic international places where they meet their happily ever nows or afters. The Wild Rose Press was founded in 2006 by RJ Morris and Rhonda Penders, who believe there should be a better, friendlier way to publish books.

Obsessed with Getting Real with Ourselves ft. Theresa Agostinelli

The way we think about our lives is something that can hold us back or propel us forward. Too often, we allow negative thinking to take control, preventing us from reaching our potential. If we want to change how we think about our lives, we must get real with ourselves.

What does it mean to be real with ourselves? It means being honest about who we are and what we want. It means letting go of the things that hold us back. However, it can be challenging and hard to sort through all the noise to figure out what is truly important to us.

Our guest Theresa Agostinelli is on a mission to change how we think about our lives, and she's getting real with us in this episode. In her new book, "The GRID System: Creating More of What's Good in Your Life," she leads the way in achieving our goals and reaching our potential.

In the beginning, all the odds were against Theresa. But her perseverance led her out of survival mode and to a thriving life. She is showing us that it is possible to live a life that is authentic and fulfilling. She is helping us to see that we are capable of so much more than we ever thought possible.

Professor Theresa Agostinelli, LCSW, is a prolific writer and motivational speaker. She is the CEO of Glen Mills Coaching and Consulting, a licensed therapist, and now a renowned speaker worldwide teaching the tools of The GRID System. She leans into the inspiration of building community and profiting with purpose for business professionals and those on a personal development journey.
