Join me in this short meditation today. Be aware of your energy. Shift your energy to be where you want it to be. Just stop, take 3 deep breaths, and relax your body & your mind.

I’m sitting on the banks of Lake Norman, NC, as I record this and I’m feeling especially sentimental and emotional. There are several reasons why, but none more than the fact that my Mom, “Muffy” Durkin, is aging and she turns 92-years old this week. She’s down in Florida resting-up and I want to celebrate her with all of you in my podcast community. As a matter of fact, I want to dedicate this episode to her today.

My family has been spending a lot of time down in FL the last several months as she needs round the clock health care. Well, I’ve shared before that Mom has not thrown out too much sentimental stuff over the years (remember, I’ve also shared that’s where I received this bad “pack-rat gene” from) and I’ve joked that it will someday come in handy. Today is ONE of those days…

Here is what I share in this week’s episode:

• A birthday letter I wrote to my Mom in 1986 (when I was just 15-years old).

• 4-special traits I want to share about Momma Durkin.

• Why it’s important to know “You’re Day is Coming.”

• WOW Book Chapter #10.

• The best thing Momma Durkin ever did for me and my family.

• ACTION Steps to take to become an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.

• What are a few of your fondest memories of your Mom…and/or your Dad?

• What traits do/did they have that you most admire?

• How do you best exhibit those traits now as a parent (or as a mentor, friend, or colleague)?

• How can you even better display these traits, characteristics, and commitment?

• A “fitting” close to the episode from one of my favorite conversations with her a few years back.

It was an emotional episode. Thanks for celebrating Momma Durkin with me and I hope it spurs you into taking action into becoming an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.

In this powerful episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Janelle Trujillo, a dedicated health-habit coach with an inspiring story. Together, we explored the significance of self-reflection, the impact of surrounding ourselves with positive energy continuously, and the essential role healthy habits play in achieving overall well-being. Janelle shared her transformative journey from overcoming personal challenges to becoming a coach who now empowers many others.

I invite you to tune in to Episode 389 of the IMPACT SHOW for powerful insights on nurturing your spirit, cultivating healthy habits, and creating a meaningful IMPACT in your life and the lives of those around you.

Here are some Key Takeaways and Janelle’s Top 6 Life-Habits Tips:

1. Assess Your Energy:

I encourage you to reflect on what you allow into your life. Are those influences enhancing your light or dimming it? Janelle emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and surrounding yourself with ongoing positivity.

2. The Value of Seeking Support:

I ask Janelle what advice she would give to her younger self, prompting her to share the importance of reaching out for help. Janelle inspires young people, especially women, to use their voices and seek guidance from trusted mentors and friends.

3. Build Healthy Habits:

Success in fitness and wellness isn't just about having a good body, or even eating right, and it’s not just about having the right plan; it’s about making ALl this a part of your daily lifestyle. Consistency is key if you want to be healthy, vibrant, and happy!

4. Empower Young Women:

Janelle shares heartfelt advice for teenage girls navigating societal pressures, reminding them to find their voices and seek wisdom.

5. Spiritual Grounding:

A lot of people don't like to talk about the spiritual battle young people face, and Janelle encourages seeking wisdom and grounding in your values and spiritual faith to help navigate life’s challenges.

6. Coaching for Impact:

Janelle highlights her mission as a coach to be a Lighthouse for others, helping them discover their paths and purposes while overcoming their struggles. I ask her what "IMPACT" means to her, and she beautifully describes it as helping others find their way.

WOW, what a powerful episode! Janelle’s journey from facing personal struggles to becoming a beacon of hope for others is truly inspiring. Her insights on self-reflection, the importance of seeking support, and building healthy habits resonate deeply, especially for young women navigating the complexities of life. It’s a reminder that we’re not alone in our challenges and that reaching out for help can lead to profound transformations. I hope this episode inspires you to reflect on your own habits, seek wisdom, and step boldly into your journey. Remember, you have the power to create a positive impact in your life and the lives of others. Let’s continue to uplift and empower each other as we strive for growth and purpose!
