Lauri's Lemonade Stand

Forged into Noella’s very being is a sense of strength that is coupled with courage and the innate desire to serve those in need.  Her story from her youth will move you.  Her story of her young adulthood will make you proud.  Her story now will inspire you, empower you, and all at once make you grateful for everything you have in this world, both temporally and spiritually.  I was honored (and did not realize until this podcast interview) that Noella’s very first podcast interview was this one here on Lauri’s Lemonade Stand.  I am honored, humbled, and blessed to know Noella Coursaris Musunka and to have learned about her during our time together.  I have no doubt you will be moved by her story and hopefully, be moved to make a difference in your part of the world - wherever that is.  Enjoy and learn in this beautiful interview with Noella of Malaika and the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

Honesty is at the heart of this conversation with The Handel Group’s, Laurie Gerber.  If you can define your dream (and we give you The Tool on how to do that by taking your very own Current Reality Quiz), you can start learning how to stop complaining to find happiness, have a phenomenal relationship with your significant other (including intimacy), learn how to befriend your fears, and do some serious emotional decluttering.  Who doesn’t want a piece of that?  Laurie talks about her own “Near Divorce Experience” and how life coaching saved her marriage through integrity. This interview will have you doing some of your own soul-searching, laughing, relating, and hopefully will even have you finding your own “ah-ha” moment.  Laurie will give it to you straight up in this amazing interview!  (Not appropriate for little ears)

Body Language Expert?  Yes!  RB Kelly is just that.  I’m reminded of the scene in Little Mermaid when Ursula is convincing Arial to become human and she says “Never underestimate the power of body language” as she shook her enormous hips before stealing Arial’s voice.  Arial then needs to convince Eric to kiss her without just any kiss, but true love’s kiss.  Without Ursula’s ensuing interference she would have done just that - all without speaking a word.  Body Language is oh so important in our romantic relationships, our business relationships, our friendships, even as a defense against would-be predators.  RB is amazingly gifted in her training of speaking the right body language for corporations, for personal relationships, and even teaching teenagers how to talk to each other without using texts or Snapchat.  This episode will teach you methods you can employ straight away to improve your relationships - my favorite was all about playing footsies!  Come on in and enjoy this super fun episode with RB Kel

The Void is real, but it is not the end.  Stephenie Zamora talks all about how we need to walk through our struggles and face our pain, instead of skirting the issue.  We are meant to be happy, but sometimes we want to throw positive affirmations in the fire place and watch them burn.  Difficulties are a certainty in our life, but Stephenie has found a way to help you through The Call of the Void with her brand new offering called Journey Mapping. She eats ice cream with a fork. She doesn’t use her pinkies for anything, even typing (yes, she knows that’s weird). She would make an excellent getaway driver, and I am honored to call her friend.  Enjoy this upfront and honest talk about dealing with our challenges and know that there is hope no matter where you might find yourself in your journey.

“Actively loving ourselves in a society that does its hardest to tell us we need fixing is a major accomplishment.  Saying “I’m worthy as I am” is pretty rebellious when every brand, every commercial you see wants you to believe you are too fat, too thin, too saggy, too perky, too old, too young, too grey or too vibrant to be whole.” This quote is by Sarah Sapora who is not afraid to be irreverent and bold in getting her message out into the world about self-love while at the same time showing grace, compassion and sensitivity to those in need.  Sarah says that, “Life is meant to be lived. It is beautiful, messy, and colorful. It is our job to show up, live authentically, and spread the Love in whatever way we can.”  Come join her at her table (or in this case this podcast) and “Rise the Eff Up!”  If you love what you hear, please consider joining Sarah at her amazing Body + Love Workshop in Las Vegas next month!  Just go to bodyloveworkshop.com and join the party!  (Seriously amazing pricing on this by the w

Word games are a passion of mine. From Scrabble to Words with Friends and I adore Crosswords from Dell.  Mary Shores is all about words - words that count and words that can make a difference - if you let them.  Come on it to this podcast and learn about powerful words like “Cleanse or Clog”, what the “Core Four” is, and how you can stop that negative self-talk reel that’s stuck on repeat in your head. Mary has said, “Everything we say, everything we do, every choice we make in the thinnest sliced moments of life is either creating a connection to what we want or it’s driving a disconnection.”  This interview gives examples of this so powerful that it truly can be life-changing.  Mary even offers our listeners a Free Daily Desires Diary Bundle which includes the Daily Desires Diary, a new daily practice to help you reflect, set goals, and take action, as well as a bonus excerpt of Conscious Communications to jumpstart your motivation.  Simply go to this link and start your transformation today!

Smoked cinnamon.  5-spice powder.  The microplane. Vegan parmesan cheese.  Smoked sea salt.  These are all things I decided to add to my kitchen after this beautiful and fun interview with Chef Charity Morgan.  Turns out we grew up an hour apart in Northern California (you never know what you’re going to find out during a podcast interview!) and that Charity has loved to cook since age 5, made a full meal at age 8 that blew the mind of her father, cooked for her friends after school as a teenager, learned about the word “culinary” as a young adult and that propelled her into attending and graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena.  Take this a step further and Charity is not only making amazing meals for her family, but for her husband, Derrick Morgan (linebacker for the Tennessee Titans) when his nutritionist says to cut back on inflammation and recovery time and that he should try going plant-based.  Charity followed suit and now not only is entirely plant-based, but cooks for a bunch of those team members

Connections are the lifeline of women.  Connections with our authentic selves, connections with family and friends, connections with our business colleagues and Sara Blanchard is an expert in all of them!  Break out of your cycle of making yourself power through something and do what Sara suggests, “The reality is, humans are social creatures, and we do our best when we are connected in a web of relationships that support us.”  This podcast talks all about these connections and teaches you how to get to know yourself better through encouraging play and even laughter (can you imagine?). Since learning about Sara and doing this interview I have upped my game in my connections with girlfriends.  I’ve reached out through voicemail messages, set up movie dates and even a double date with one with our hubbies.  The proof is in the pudding - this works!  Sara is an inspiration.  If you are feeling like you could improve your relationships, this podcast is DEFINITELY for you!

Eidetics was foreign to me as a word and a practice, but after this interview, the imagery inspired by the direction of Wendy Yellen - mind blown!  This interview brought tears and emotions and feelings rising to the surface, but with Wendy’s soft touch in guiding brought about joy, lightness, and ultimately love.  Don’t dismiss Eidetics out of hand just because it might be something new to you.  Learn about it, see it for what it is - life-changing.  Life-changing in a way that sticks, not in your mind kind of change, but in your heart and soul kind of change.  Don’t be a skeptic or think this is just another “woo-woo” type of healing.  Open-minded will find you with the results you seek. Wendy has my vote and I’m going to her website, www.MeAsIWantToBe.com, taking the imagery challenge and contacting her for my complimentary Transformation Acceleration Meeting because the work we did together felt so good!  I’m challenging you to jump on over – watch the video, experience eidetics for yourself, and then app

Integrity is like Honesty on Steroids - it is a whole new level of honesty that encompasses being honest with yourself (even when no one is looking).  Kelley Kosow’s new book, The Integrity Advantage is chock full of inspiring stories from herself and other women who have found their best selves from the inside out, instead of the other way around.  Kelley teaches women how to love themselves with the same love they would give to others.  She coaches that it’s ok to be human, but that our goal of our souls is to evolve.  In this podcast we not only talk about her book, but how we can add in self-care and gratitude to our lives to create the highest level of self-satisfaction, confidence, hope, empowerment, and above all, INTEGRITY.  Come on in and enjoy this beautiful podcast with the CEO of The Ford Institute, Kelley Kosow.

Empath’s and HSP’s (Highly Sensitive People) were a conversation I had wanted to have for months now and I was honored to have Priscilla Pancoast-Crockett step up to the plate and talk about not only her own experiences as an HSP, but all about her new book, Care and Feeding for the Highly Sensitive Soul - A Real Talk and In Depth Guide for those who care for, protect, and support an empath, intuitive, or otherwise defined highly sensitive person.  This podcast is a fun, empowering, enlightening talk about this subject.  In my learning, I realized that I am definitely at least part HSP, but more importantly I learned that a very close female relative of mine is most definitely an HSP and I was able to learn how I can best support her in her journey.  Priscilla is upbeat, totally knowledgable on the subject and simply a joy to visit with.  Enjoy this amazing LLS podcast episode!

There is a quote from one of my favorite books, The Count of Monte Cristo, that goes like this: “There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another.  Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of ultimate bliss.” Dotsie Bausch reminds me of this quote.  From a debilitating eating disorder and unsuccessful suicide attempts to being a 7-time USA Cycling Champion and silver medalist in the 2012 London Olympics, this lady is living the life of ultimate bliss.  I can’t wait to see her in the upcoming movie, Game Changers coming out this summer and if you really want to get to know her better, follow her on social media and learn about her last week’s rescue of a baby duckling!  This lady is for real and I know you’re gonna LOVE her in this week’s LLS Podcast!

Truly you are guided to what you’re meant to do if you but only listen.  Dr. Rosane’s favorite quote says, “Nothing changes until you change.  Everything changes once you change.”  She is the epitome of her favorite quote and I can’t wait for you to hear about her beginnings in Rio de Janeiro, then to Germany, the University of Illinois, and now UCDavis in Sacramento as the Director of Integrative Nutrition.  She is loving, kind, a lover of books (consuming 3-5 per week), and is encouraging in wherever your journey is currently taking you.  We talk about her twin sister, her education, her whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle, and of course the answers to Lemonade Moments at the end that have us laughing and sharing like women should!  We are stronger together as women and this interview shows that! 

Tap, tap, tapping!  I’ll admit, prior to this interview I was a virgin tapper, but EFT tapping has intrigued me and I’m betting by the end of this episode you’ll be doing a deep dive as well.  Why?  Because anything in our crazy lives that can bring a sense of calm and self-awareness is worth the try!  Pam’s new book, The Power In Your Fingertips: Calm the Chaos and Lower your Stress in 15 Minutes or Less! is available now on Amazon.  Feeling overwhelmed?  Just open up that section of the book and follow the tapping sequence.  Getting kicked around by your inner critic?  Open up the bonus section of her book and tap it away.  Listen, this tapping thing is here to stay and is even now being used on soldiers with PTSD.  Give it a go!  Listen to this episode and then follow Pam Horne on social media - her zone of genius is in deep healing and greater expansion in your life and business.  Happy tapping!
