Have you ever felt the warm glow of Christmas cheer fade away as the calendar turns? Hold onto that feeling a little longer with our special guest, Santa Papa John, who embodies the spirit of Christmas every single day. In a candid conversation, we uncover the man behind the red suit and explore how his transformation into Santa, supported by his loving wife, has led to delighting children year-round—not just on December 25th. From surprising stories of joy to his "Santa approved" initiative that champions businesses spreading positivity, Santa Papa John's tales weave the festivity of the holiday season into the fabric of our daily lives.

Imagine a world imbued with the kind-heartedness of Christmas in every interaction. That's the reality Santa Papa John inspires as we unpack the profound impact of his work, especially with children of special needs. His account of making children with autism smile is a touching reminder of the power of patience and kindness. The episode shines a light on the importance of inclusivity, detailing how Santa Papa John's joyous outreach extends far beyond the North Pole, touching lives and elevating spirits with the simple, yet profound, acts of love and understanding.

As we bid farewell, I'm reminded of the true essence of Santa's message—authenticity and the courage to be oneself. I leave you with a sprinkling of Santa's love and the hope that you'll carry the lessons of joy, giving, and community spirit from our discussion into each day. Keep an ear out for more heartwarming stories and connections in our upcoming episodes, but for now, let's raise a glass of eggnog to living with the Christmas spirit all year round.

Have you ever sensed that a simple stroll through nature could unlock the secrets to a happier, more present you? Sensei Nancy joins me, Coach Mikki, on a journey through the calming practice of mindfulness walks, unraveling the tapestry of our internal dialogue with the quiet whispers of the great outdoors. Our conversation weaves through the art of grounding oneself in authenticity and the transformative communal space of Sensei Nancy's online dojo, where women unite in support and exploration of self-discovery. It's an enlightening discussion that peels back the layers of the masks we wear, encouraging listeners to find solace and clarity in the embrace of the present moment.

Transitioning from the rustle of leaves to the rustling of societal norms, we address the metamorphosis of women's roles and the symbolic shift from stiff business suits to the comfort of self-expression. Delving deeper, we redefine what it means to be "selfish," advocating for a narrative steeped in self-love and healing. Sensei Nancy and I reflect on the indelible ink of childhood experiences on our canvas of beliefs, and together, we champion the empowering choice to rewrite our life stories. This episode is an invitation to reshape your reality with acceptance and love and to muster the courage to let go of beliefs that have overstayed their welcome.

Imagine enduring half a decade in captivity, with only your wits and resilience to keep you company in the depths of a Venezuelan dungeon as a hostage. On today's show, I sit down with Jose Pereira, who not only survived this ordeal but has transformed his harrowing tale into a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with their own trials. Through his story, which he has now passionately captured in a book, we learn the true meaning of human endurance and the incredible strength of hope.

You'll be gripped by the routines and emotional lifelines that sustained Jose—a sanctuary of reading and writing, the steadfast support from his family, and the camaraderie that blossomed despite dire circumstances. We journey with him from that fateful day of his abduction to the emotional reunion with his colleagues and the life-altering impact of a single phone call home. This conversation with Jose serves as a powerful reminder of our innate capacity to overcome even the most unimaginable challenges.

But Jose's experience extends beyond his own survival; it's a call to action for each of us to reflect on our inner strength. Join us as we explore the broader implications for families in crisis, the resilience showcased by Jose's wife in her relentless pursuit of his freedom, and the way their son provided support in a time of great need. As Coach Mikki, I'm honored to bring you this profound conversation, laying bare the transformative potential of hardship and the journey of using one’s own experiences to empower others.

Coach Lori Anne's own journey from a corporate role to becoming a full-time success coach paints a vivid picture of the courage required to follow one's true calling. Her narrative serves as a beacon for anyone feeling trapped or unfulfilled in their current circumstances. It reminds us that while stepping into the unknown may seem daunting, it is often the catalyst for uncovering our latent potential. This message resonates strongly with individuals at various stages of their lives, whether they're contemplating a career shift, personal growth, or a complete life overhaul.

Embracing discomfort is a recurring theme throughout the episode. Lori Ann and the host delve into the philosophy that growth and success are born out of our willingness to confront and navigate uncertainties. The discussion challenges listeners to reframe their perception of risk and to recognize that every challenge faced is an opportunity for personal expansion and learning. Lori Anne's insights into 'success codes'—the intrinsic abilities and aspirations we all possess—are particularly enlightening. She advocates for an introspective journey to discover these codes, rather than succumbing to societal pressures that often lead us astray from our authentic selves.
​
Furthermore, Lori Anne and Coach Mikki discuss the simplicity and profundity of life's binary choices. They suggest that often, the answers we seek can be found within the core of our being. This segment of the episode is particularly impactful as it encourages listeners to engage in deep reflection and to trust their internal compass when making life's pivotal decisions.
