Michele – Recovery From Alcoholism, Coping with Her Husband’s Head Injury, Parenting and Autism<\/p>\n

I have been sharing a lot of book recommendations, but today I\u2019d like to share a visualization exercise that\u2019ve done several times to help me get focused on manifesting my goals. Its called a vision board and I first learned about this on Oprah about 15 years ago. John Assaraf also talks about it in the movie \u201cThe Secret\u201d and shares an amazing story about it.<\/p>\n

The idea is that you cut out pictures that represent things, places or experiences you\u2019d like to bring into reality, then put them on a poster board that you place somewhere you can easily see it. I\u2019ve had some cool experiences with them. For instance, just a few months ago I created one and had a picture of Cabo San Lucas on it. I had taken a picture of my vision board and put it as the background of my phone, so everyday I would see it and as I was chatting, I\u2019d look at the pictures and think about Cabo as if I was already there. Not long after, I was notified at work that I had reached my annual goal and that I qualified for President\u2019s Club\u2026and the trip was to Cabo! That\u2019s just one example of many I could share. If you go on Pinterest you can find hundreds of examples. It\u2019s a great exercise to help you retrain your brain to be more positive and focus on what you do want.<\/p>\n

In this episode I\u2019ll be talking with Michele. We have a wide wandering conversation that covers her family of origin and how that shaped her self image, dealing with a spouse who suffered a head injury in sobriety as well as coping as a parent of a child who is on the Autism spectrum. Michele has long term sobriety, she\u2019s a kick in the pants, really a lot of fun, and she has dedicated her life to helping others. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!<\/p>\n

Peace & Love,<\/p>\n
