Part 1 of my interview with Marci Shimoff – Episode #5 Hope, Strength & Courage Podcast
“Take some time every day to self-nurture, self-feed, whatever that is just for you. Because when you feed yourself you feed everybody around you.” Marci Shimoff
Summary: Today’s episode features part 1 of my interview with Marci Shimoff #1 New York Times bestselling author, a world-renowned transformational leader and an expert on happiness, success and unconditional love as we discuss how to remain happy even during difficult challenging times.
What I love most about part 1 of my interview with Marci is her reminder fill my own cup first. It’s like in the case of an emergency on an aircraft – put your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others. I’m no good to anyone if I’m running on empty.
In this interview I asked Marci if she would share with my audience the keys to remaining happy even during difficult challenging times. She shares her house analogy, comparing the 7 steps she learned about being happy with the framework of a house based on her research and interviews with thousands of experts and extra-ordinary people living happy lives.
During part one of our interview we also cover the first of 3 pieces of advice for cancer moms. I hope you’ll tune into this episode and part 2 where she shares her second and third pieces of advice as well.
