Learn how this OCD recovering neat freak and ex-university professor learned how to embrace the mess to honor her child's creative process. Robin Konie realized it was her responsibility, in service of having future leaders who'd be equipped to innovate and problem solve, to keep kids creative, and it started with her and her daughter. It's a perfect Mother's Day story, as this episode airs in North America on May 9. 

Did you know, a long-term NASA study found that 98% of 5-year olds tested at "creative genius" levels. But less than 2% retained that creativity into adulthood. Her business, Munga Punga, offers tools to make sure that number increases! We talk about HOW. Here's her top 10 tips that we cover in the last 20 minutes of this episode:

1. morning meditations
2. breakfast brainstorms
3. daily dancing
4. dinner debates
5. reading rituals
6. friday free time
7. magic moments
8. ready resources
9. familiarize failure
10. pursue passions

Where else are you going to hear quotes like this in a 20 minute conversation? “one of my core beliefs in life and in my coaching is that creativity at it’s best is way for us to be seen expressed, healed and connected”

“I want to tell people that they largely control their destiny… and their destiny will be controlled by their subconscious beliefs and identities unless they make those things conscious.”

“your thinking brain is not the same as your consciousness. your consciousness is like this wisdom, this truth, it’s bigger than what you know and think”

Mastering the mindset, Max shares his awareness of critical thoughts and provides key tools for shifting the narrative. One suggestion he shares, is to consider whether the thoughts even belong to you - (gasp)

I exported a 10 minute dialog from Episode 10 that wasn't published in the original where I asked Max if he'd support me with something big I had coming up. In all my humility I offer this bonus segment for anyone else who might need to face a big opportunity and wonder how to ground themselves.

Esther Loopstra has mined and shined her inner gold to discover her passion for helping others see what gifts lie dormant inside them, waiting to be polished and shared. Her path for expression is art. Her journey to embrace her whole self included a reckoning with her dark side. It becomes clear that to find our magic we just need to accept all our parts, because it’s often in our weird that we find out wonderful (thanks David Rendall from Season 1, E02)
Our episode ends with a surprise reveal about a shared love for the same movie.

If you are diving in with us to this episode, buckle up, because we are going on a ride to uncover the 5 steps of trigger work with Dr. Susan Campbell. Her 12th book is out, called "From Triggered to Tranquil" and the author's got 55 years under her belt as a professional psychologist. I couldn’t think of anyone better to breakdown the mystery and mastery of our nervous systems.

It somehow seems fitting that today’s guest, Keridwyn Deller, is called upon to help individuals achieve their goals. These goals can have something in common with New Year Resolutions, if you participate in those rituals…  She shares the top 3 problems she solves for clients as a hypnotherapist: anxiety, sleep and a desire to quit smoking.
I’m going to drop us into the part of our conversation where we were relating about something we all need more of… SELF COMPASSION!

Today’s guest, is posse member, Seryna Myers. In Season one we talked about her book, Sacred Anger and her Anger Tango workshops, this season she brings up the critical step she’s come to realize is key to feeling it all… PERMISSION. 
Permission to feel your feelings. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Something Seryna said about her emotions struck a chord with me “This isn’t something I need to fix, this is something I need to FEEL” - AHHHH I keep hearing this. Maybe it’s for a reason. Growing up in the ‘fake it til you make it’ mindset has its disadvantages if the thing you are really searching for is wholeness…

As the host of this show, anyone who knows me, knows I am in love with bringing “all of myself to the table”… Leaving nothing behind. 
What I get about Seryna and the work that is ongoing in my life, it’s 
INTEGRATION. INTEGRATION. INTEGRATION. 
this is the key to embracing and loving all parts of oneself. 

And just to double click on the example she offered about her being a talker (oh - #metoo) but finding a lump in her throat when it came time to uttering words about feelings that might disrupt status-quo… she said: “I was speaking truth dis-embodied and now that I am here, present in my body, having these emotions running through me, I was like - oooh, this feels different. it’s not fun. but the more you do it, like using any muscle, the stronger it gets. so now, I give voice to the hard emotions and I take my time and stop for a breath, and the lump in my throat no longer exists. I had to push through the discomfort to get to the other side!”

Today’s conversation is with Posse member, Anna Choi. She’s an energy coach, TedX speaker and Forbes author. IF you listened to our Season One episode, you would know how passionate she is about harnessing all of the energy in your body to activate your life in the most powerful way and she broke it all down for me, I’ll put a link in the show notes if you want to catch up on that. Meantime, today she shares about her new book, her music career, and homeschooling her son.

new father, Randy Desrocher shares what he is learning from his child, even while he was still in the womb, his baby knew that the homeland of his mother is where he wanted to greet them and the parents listened. 
This level of conscious parenting is a topic that we cover in today’s episode. It’s this topic that inspires Randy to pick up the torch and light fires in the hearts of more kinsmen who believe that a better way of raising our future leaders is possible.
