  • Fred Waitzkin @fred_waitzkin is the author best known for “Searching for Bobby Fischer,” the story about his son Josh, who was a chess prodigy at age six. It’s with great pleasure that I have Mr. Waitzkin on the show to talk about his new book, “Deep Water Blues.” ⠀ ⠀ Having been familiar with the story of Josh, and his journey in the chess world, it was a treat to get to talk to Fred about his role as an author, father, a fisherman, and story teller. As a child, Fred loved fishing, and he loved hanging out with his own father. While he didn’t love school, he did love reading, and devoured Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea” when it was released in Life Magazine for free, two weeks before it came out as a book. It’s no surprise that Fred’s latest book is a tale about the sea, and the idyllic city of Rum Cay, filled with fishermen. ⠀ ⠀ To join us for the whole discussion, listen in and subscribe to @jumpstartyourjoy in Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify , visit the the link in my bio.⠀ ⠀ #doitfortheprocess #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #creativelifehappylife⠀ #carveouttimeforart #creative #podcast #jumpstartyourjoy #fredwaitzki

  • How do you find your own happiness, and make it the core of what you do?⠀ In this week’s podcast episode, Anabell @personal.dreamcatcher talks about happiness coaching being all about looking at your limiting beliefs, and recognizing how much you actually hide your happiness under so many layers of limiting beliefs, often of things, often going back to beliefs that you grew up with. She says, “It's so important to really know your core and what makes you personally happy, what happiness actually means to you personally, because it means something different for everyone.... And because we live today in a society that is so loud, and it's there's so much noise around us, we get drawn into that noise and we don't really know anymore.” ⠀ ⠀ It’s by finding your center, and identifying what’s going in your internal landscape, you can grow from a place that is authentic. And that’s where your happiness is.⠀ If you haven’t yet tuned in this week, you can find the link to the podcast in my profile.⠀ ⠀ And, tell me, how have you found happiness this week?⠀ ⠀ #choosehappiness #joy #laughter #love #innerhappiness #innerjoy #smile #spreadlaughter #enjoylife #carefree #sharekindness #spreadjoy #sharegoodness #giggles #loveyourself #podcast #jumpstartyourjoy

  • Mission San Jose in Fremont. I drove past it on the way to my dentist appointment this morning and after the dentist only took 20 mins to do a filling (she’s clearly a wizard) I decided to use that extra time and take a tour. Having moved to California at the end of 4th grade I missed the Missions and state history stuff. I don’t think that excuses me from not realizing that there’s a Mission about 20 minutes from my house 😂 #missionsanjose #missionsanjosé #fremontcalifornia #hometowntourist #missionsofcalifornia #franciscan #northerncalifornia #thingstodoafterthedentist #play #choosejoy #stopandsmelltheroses
  • Guest Kedma Ough @kedmaoughmba considers a super hero cape to be a part of her uniform when she is working because it acts as a powerful reminder that each of us can make amazing things happen in our lives. In her journey as an entrepreneur, Kedma chose to follow her own heart, and is a successful consultant for differently abled people and their needs. She also helps entrepreneurs secure funding for bringing their dreams to life. She’s a powerful example of what happens when you follow your dreams regardless of what society may tell you is not possible or won’t be lucrative, and proving people wrong on both fronts. As entrepreneurs, it’s important to let go of the “shoulds;” and to find a way to make a window where people tell you there’s a wall.⠀ Thank you for joining me, Kedma!⠀ If you want to tune in, you can find the link in my profile. ⠀ #empoweringwomen #womeninbusiness #successfulwomen #mompreneur #womenentrepreneurs #independentwoman #personalgrowth #businesschicks #joy #podcast #jumpstartyourjoy
  • I love my son's very earnest question about Halloween, and his hope / surprise that it was not a national holiday! I hope you all have a happy day filled with lots of new, endless possibility (isn't that what dressing up is all about?), lots of free candy, and are filled with the childlike joy that makes it absolutely possible for today to be a day off.⠀ ⠀ #halloween #happyhalloween #kidsquotes #cutequotes #happinessquotes #quoteoftheday #kidsareawesome #behappy #happinessproject #jumpstartyourjoy
