Can I read it to you?

Published 3 months ago • 2 min read

Every night, my son asks me to read to him as he's going to sleep.

You'd think he's too old for that now, but as you may know, timelines are quite sketchy when you're living in the realm of neurodivergence.

Frankly, the days can get pretty crazy at times, so I'm grateful for that space of calm and connection. And I know it won't last forever.

Once, we were reading the first book in the Harry Potter series and I got the audiobook for him. I thought that would be a special treat.

(If you don't know, Jim Dale, the voice actor who narrates the series, is quite remarkable.)

Brody "tolerated" the audiobook for a bit, but then said, "I like your voice better."

So, I keep reading.

And I'm telling you that story because...

I'd now like to read to you. 😄

Last week, I brought The Better Life Better Business Podcast out of hiatus with an episode titled "You Should Do That!" (Check it out if you missed it!)

This week, I decided to follow that up by reading my new quick guide to Adapt & Thrive: 5 Keys C's to Cultivate Resilience and Growth in Times of Change.

If you've found yourself feeling anxious, confused, afraid, doubtful, or isolated lately, this episode is for you.

In just 20 minutes, we'll explore the antidotes to those feelings – calm, clarity, courage, confidence, and community – so you have a path to get out of survival mode and get on your way to making this next chapter – of life, work, or business – your best chapter.

I hope you'll check it out, and see if you like me reading to you as much as Brody does. 🤣

Up we go.

Hello Reader, Nice to see you here in the ole inbox again. Thanks for checking in. I've got two mantras that I hope will inspire you today—one classic and one soon to be. Here's the classic: Don't give up. You've probably heard that a million times, but it's fresh on my mind because I just announced that I'm kicking off the Toastmasters International 100th Annual Convention this summer in Anaheim, CA! As I celebrate 25 years in the speaking business (this month!), it's a huge honor to join...

Hello, my friend, I hope this message finds you well as you juggle the inevitably busy moments in your life. Today, I want to share a thought that really hit home for me recently: "You won't find peace by chasing it. You'll find it when you create it." In other words, it's not something to pursue, but to practice. Moment by moment. Breath by breath. Choice by choice. In the past few weeks, my life has been jam-packed with events, deadlines, and to-dos. I'm betting you can relate. (I don't...

Hello, my friend, I'd like to share something about what I've been feeling lately, not because what I'm feeling should matter so much to you, but because I hope that in sharing what I'm feeling, perhaps I can bear witness to what you've felt yourself—whether recently or presently. I speak about navigating change and adapting and thriving in the midst of ever-changing circumstances, but I have a confession to make... I don't like change. I don't always do well with change. Change is hard for...
