  • This guy can’t get enough of these goats at the pumpkin patch. He’s pretty much in dog heaven with the sites and smells. 😂 #dogsbelike #pumpkinpatch #chihuahuamix #fallfun #choosejoy #thosegoatsthough #attaboy #pettingzoo #goatsaregreat #chewiesdayout #jumpstartyourjoy #chihuahuasofinstagram
  • @janine_fischer_therapy be messy
  • Rain and rainbows - I was at my son’s school for the “Fun Run” and this messy and gorgeous rainbow caught my eye. It’s chalk, after a rainstorm, and it reminded me of how things change. After any hard thing we can choose to see the thing that looks like it needs to be cleaned up, or, we can choose to see the part of it that is lovely, new, different, and something that’s never been there before. The rain washed away a bit of this rainbow but the little puddle looks a bit like a wave and it shimmered as I walked past. Change and newness are not always frightening or mean bad. This art and all change is just a reflection of the impermanence of all things. #fridaythoughts #rainbow #melted #changeisconstant #impermanence #beautifulview #rainbowaesthetic #choosehappiness #choosejoy #jumpstartyourjoy
  • How do you get in touch with your deepest values and share them in a meaningful way with the people that matter most to you?⠀ So often our conversations with others get stuck in the space of needing to be right, or wrong. In this week’s podcast interview, Oren Jay Sofer @orenjaysofer joins me to talk about a very different way to approach communication, and one that allows you to build understanding and notice old inherited patterns of how you were brought up using language. They key, as he explains it, is tapping into present time awareness. By using the “power of pause,” you can slow down your pace and your speech, and make mindful choice to use curiosity and care in your discussions.⠀ Oren Jay Sofer is my guest on the podcast this week, and we take a much deeper look at these ideas around “mindful non violent communication” in this week’s episode.⠀ If you are curious about how you can shift the way you communicate, I invite you to join us. The link is in my profile.⠀ #nonviolentcommunication #mindfulness #mindfullistening #compassion #lovingspeech #extrememinimalism #minimalist #simpleliving #spiritrock #joy #choosejoy #jumpstartyourjoy
  • Oren Jay Sofer @orenjaysofer is a communication expert and mindfulness teacher at Spirit Rock in Woodacre, California. He recently wrote the book “Say What You Mean: A Nonviolent Approach to Communication,” and I’m delighted to have him as a guest on the podcast.⠀ ⠀ This is definitely one of those deep conversations that I found engaging on many levels. From a coaching and academic perspective, I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about how to look at and use mindfulness. From a personal perspective, I found this conversation to be so insightful into how humans communicate and default into what is a habitual pattern (as opposed to a natural pattern), that my husband and I have started reading Oren’s book outloud to each other - AND! It’s been a game changer for both of us. ⠀ ⠀ To tune in to the episode, and learn a bit more about mindful non violent communication, check out the link in my profile.⠀ ⠀ #nonviolentcommunication #mindfulness #mindfullistening #compassion #lovingspeech #extrememinimalism #minimalist #simpleliving #spiritrock #joy #choosejoy #jumpstartyourjoy @spirit_rock
  • This is me. 💖 I took this selfie on Saturday night during the @shepodcasts introvert/extrovert party. I felt so very alive and energized by the whole experience that I wanted to capture the moment - because this is joy. It’s about connection, love, shared ideas and altruism. It’s about friendship and being seen. It’s about sharing your voice and your passion and finding others who get you. This is that face. Joy. The thing is - 5 years ago when I started podcasting I didn’t know where it would go. I had the creative nudge and then I ran with it. I kept going when it got hard or when I had no episode ready for the next day and I made shit happen. I kept pitching people I was interested in talking to, knowing they might say no or not say anything at all. But I kept doing the thing because I had to. I just had to. So wherever you are on your journey... whatever is holding you back or freaking you out - just know the world needs your voice and your story. You are here for a reason. Tap into your heart and ask what that purpose is. And then, I want you to be doggedly fierce in going after it. You can do this. You’ve got this. I ❤️ you. #shepodcasts #shepodcastslive #spl19 #entrepeneurlife #lifecoachlife #dothething #joy #sparkjoy #jumpstartyourjoy #jumpstartyourcreativity
  • First rule of podcasting: It’s your own damn show and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. Let it sink in. Podcasting is a creative endeavor. You are making things that have never existed before - and in new ways. It’s vulnerable, it’s hard work, and you are amazing. You can also let go of any “shoulds” you have around what your show looks like. The content, the title, the length of your seasons, the frequency. You get to choose. That’s the heart of my my message from my presentation at @shepodcasts today. Thank you @jesskupferman and @theelsieescobar for having me. It has been a dream come true to be here. 💖 #podcast #podcasting #shepodcasts #shepodcastslive #shepodcastslive2019 #teamclcc #podcastersofinstagram #jumpstartyourjoy #choosejoy
