Kickin' It with Daree

Have you ever wanted to do something, but stopped yourself with thoughts of, 'What will they think of me?' or 'What will they say?' Sometimes you have to forget about the "theys" and the nays and do.it.your.way. As my guest Trina L. Martin says, "You don't need anyone's approval to do what you need to do in your life." She's a speaker and podcaster in Houston, motivating women and youth to strive for their dreams. Show Notes - http://kickinitwithdaree.com/episode/do-you-what-you-need-to-do

Assertiveness in business and personal relationships is necessary. It's part of a continuum of empowerment. This is the topic for this episode with Crystal Andrus Morissette-- an international best-selling author, and worldwide leader in the field of self-discovery and personal transformation. She and I also discussed the Mother-Daughter archetypes, managing your emotions, and not letting others low standards affect your greatness.

We all face hurdles of some kind in life. The question is, are they stumbling blocks or stepping stones? According to Dr. Dravon James, motivational speaker, Everyday Peacemaker, and author of Freedom is Your Birthright, the answer depends on whether you can find the peaceful space within the outer turmoil, where you can admit to and honestly examine your obstacles. If you can do that, you can tackle them. But if you can’t, they’ll tackle you. http://kickinitwithdaree.com/episode/stepping-stones

Maybe I should have entitled this episode "I don't WANT to call," because that's what I meant. One of my pet peeves is dealing with shoddy customer service-- whether it's by phone or in person.

Friends don’t hurt friends—or at least the way it should be. What about friends who just suddenly stop all communication with you, and give you no reason? How do you deal with toxic friends? Why do some people have a pattern of picking the wrong friends, and end up getting used time after time? How can we choose positive, healthy friendships that enrich our lives, and spot them early on, weeding out the “frenemies” waiting to happen?
