Episode Description
Chaos and change have birthed galaxies, stars, planets, and even life itself. While overnight, businesses have shut down, unemployment has skyrocketed, and public health concerns have changed the way we live, there is also the birthing of new ideas and possibilities – if we can tap into it. In the best of times, even good change is stressful on the body, mind and spirit as we grapple with the unknowns. In difficult times, basic worries and fears can grow into depression or even anger as our bodies are flooded with fight, flight or freeze hormones. But there are solutions and tools available to not just help us cope or “get by,” but help us expand our creativity and problem-solving skills, re-define who we choose to be, and re-envision the “normal” we want to live in. Join us as we talk to two extraordinary women, Kimber A. Leigh and Holly Duckworth, about how to live from the inside out and create calm in the chaos.
Rise ‘n Shine! Not Just for Mornings Anymore.
Tuesday at 12 Noon Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Variety Channel
Our program helps create a world that works for everyone by focusing on how to rise and shine as individuals each day. We strive to remember that there are no small acts, and all choices have ripple effects. To create lasting happiness, healthy families and a thriving planet, we must challenge pre-conceived thoughts, beliefs and habits, while cultivating deeper gratitude.
Throughout the show, we talk with authors, musicians and innovators. Some guests may remind you of things that you already know but appreciate hearing again. Others may stretch the limits of what you now consider reality, presenting the opportunity for growth and transformation.
All our guests have one thing in common though: like us, they are actively engaged in helping make the world a better place in their own unique ways. They’re taking risks, rising above the past, and shining their most authentic light to help create a world where even our grandchildren’s children can thrive.
