Bouncing Back From Betrayal Ep 55
Note: There is a minor wording error in the show intro. It should state 'author, poet, and hobbyist nature photographer' instead of 'author, poet, hobbyist, and nature photographer.' Thank you for your understanding! In this episode of Your Creative Chord , I explore how to transform painful experiences of betrayal into opportunities for growth and self-empowerment. Drawing from personal stories over the past eight years, I discuss the lessons learned about setting boundaries and reclaiming personal power. Here, I offer practical steps for navigating betrayal, empowering you with tools like reflection, safe emotional expression, and using creative writing as a healing tool. To illustrate the transformative power of creative expression, I read my poem "Rocked" from my book Kaleidoscope of the Heart , accompanied by my original piano composition "Karmic Thread" (2014). This combination demonstrates how creative outlets can help navigate challenging scenarios and foster personal growth. Additionally, I introduce my two books with the soothing backdrop of "Moonlight in My Heart" (2018), another original piece. These examples highlight how using creative tools can support you in transforming difficult experiences into opportunities for growth and inspired living.

Transforming Musical Challenges into Strengths Ep 53
In this episode, we explore how the concepts from my new book, Start Piano: What You Need for Successful Learning , help us turn our musical challenges into strengths. I'll share book excerpts from the section 'How My Musical Challenges Became My Source of Musical Progress,' discussing how my personal struggles with music theory, repertoire, piano technique, and performance skills deepened my empathy for others and my understanding of piano learners' motivation to succeed. I'll recount my journey through learning gaps, performance anxiety, and classical music elitism, which fueled my self-determination and lifelong learning philosophy. These challenges led to growing confidence and success as a piano player, composer, and educator. In 'How Having Music Credentials Affects Your Piano Progress,' I share insights on what truly matters in piano study: a genuine connection with music, a solid foundation, and effective tools. I've discovered that a strong foundation is the key to overcoming struggles and gaining momentum in piano progress. Personally, I've used and shared these strategies with thousands of students, helping them build a solid piano foundation, maintain progress momentum, and transform performance anxiety into successful energy. Many aspiring piano players face recurring issues due to a lack of foundational knowledge. I'll highlight that my book includes effective practice methods and confident performance strategies designed to help you avoid these pitfalls. Join me to learn more about creating a heartfelt environment where you feel confident in your musicality and self-expression. Want to achieve consistent, long-lasting progress and tap into your confidence for a flourishing start to piano playing and continuous advancement?

To Remember You
I share a few creative ideas on preparing a creative goodbye. Pandemic2020 and my personal experiences with multiple tragedies motivated me to launch my Creative Memorial Planning Facebook Group, a webinar, and my 2-month Coaching Program, "Explore, Choose, & Plan Your Creative Memorial." I help 40+ adults explore alternatives to traditional funeral plans with less or zero corporate &/or religious involvement—and map out a personalized, meaningful, creative memorial plan. HIGHLIGHTS:"I address life and death as one with the understanding that we die as we’ve lived and that we can live more mindfully once we address death.""I’ve served as an unofficial celebrant for more than 20 memorials —including 3 personal losses.""We die how we live. Whatever inner life state we build during our lives, we take with us into the next natural chapter of death. Living an inspired life with creative energy stems from living fully—with mindfulness in the present moment as well as having the courage to face the difficult things.""The ability to manifest my full potential and enjoy life—comes from doing the hard thing—preparing for my end of life NOW as a way to polish my inner humanity. Polishing my inner condition is self-care—that leads to fuel for living an inspired life and brightening the path of others.""One idea for your creative goodbye ritual is poetry. It could be a poem or collection that you wrote, by a loved one, or from your favorite famous poet. Poetry is a beautiful way to express the richness and joy of creativity within your loving legacy.""My poem, To Remember You, as my tribute to my late brother, John.""How to prepare a collection of your legacy documents as a memorable family activity or a creative project of your own."

Using Struggles As Stepping Stones To Happiness Ep 36
This episode of YourCreativeChord Podcast shows how to use struggles as stepping stones to happiness and my poem, How To Feel The Sun . My message of encouragement for enduring the pandemic and other stress factors of the past few years. HIGHLIGHTS: It's easy for any of us to be defeated by our problems. Whether they are big or small doesn't matter. They're our problems and because of that, they can seem tailor-designed to knock us down. Regardless of specifics, when faced with difficulty, having the attitude to work toward a solution or win victory, is the first step to creating forward momentum. You Get Stronger Through Challenging A Problem If we first work on strengthening the attitude behind our actions, we stand a greater chance of overcoming the problem or reaching a goal. Actions we take are only part of the solution or winning strategy. Excerpt from my poem, How To Feel The Sun : In your heart, you have everything you need to break throughYou must awaken to the fact that it all depends on youThere, inside, a battle wages between your darkness and lightYou must focus all your energy on keeping victory in sight. There’s an Einstein quote I love, 'It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.' Problems can function as beneficial to our lives because they push us into the proverbial corner until we learn to strengthen our belief in the unlimited potential within ourselves and humanity.

Empowering Others Through Art

HIGHLIGHTS:Talking with Florida artist Jean Schienle about her art and the motivation that drives her to paint reminded me of something my life mentor, Daisaku Ikeda said,“Culture and the arts create a resonance of shared feeling in people’s hearts and bring them together.”I asked Jean what motivates her art and she immediately responded with her desire to use art for personal development and the encouragement of others.

Empowering Women With A Queen Mindset Episode 2
YourCreativeChord Podcast Episode 2 of 2 With YourCreativeChord Podcast Guest, Empowerment and Productivity Coach, Agnese RudzateSwitzerland-based Agnese Rudzate is a productivity coach helping female entrepreneurs thrive in their businesses without 24/7 time investment. Her Freedom Business Formula is designed to bring structure so business owners can get rid of overwhelm and constant hustle by working smarter.Agnese is a firm believer that any business can increase its productivity by implementing her formula. With years of experience as a certified quality manager, she has gained insight, skills, knowledge, and confidence in creating, maintaining and implementing structure, systems, and processes that bring RESULTS.HIGHLIGHTS:“You just have to take the first step. You don’t have to see the whole staircase.”“You don’t climb a mountain in a day. Just take that first step and celebrate it.”“You are worthy and that’s the end of it.”On Having A Queen Mindset, “We need to wear that crown and really own it. Don’t be ashamed of it. You deserve it. Straighten your back and wear that crown proudly.”On Rudzate’s Guided Meditations Album, “I have 10 specific guided meditations with this sound background. These were all created for empowerment, motivation, clarity, and focus.”“I didn’t just want to do ‘a meditation.’ I didn’t want to just do something that everybody does. I wanted to be very specific in the results and what I’m creating. Something unique.”On her Video Workshop, “My new video has three questions you should ask yourself to get more effective and focused.”Rudzate offers a quick productivity tip:“For better decision-making: Really listen to yourself. If you’re struggling, or you’re just not sure, ask yourself, ‘Is this a Hell Yes?’ If it’s not a ‘Hell Yes!’--it’s a ‘Hell No.’”“This is how you know that things are aligned with your vision, mission, or your goal. If it’s not… you’re not fully in there, you won’t give your full attention, and quality will decrease. If it’s a ‘Hell Yes,’ then go for it.”Connect with Agnese Rudzate:https://agneserudzate.com/work-with-me/freedom-business-formula/https://agneserudzate.comhttps://www.instagram.com/agneserudzate/https://www.facebook.com/agnese.rudzate.3https://www.linkedin.com/in/agnese-rudzate-577948186/https://twitter.com/AgneseRudzate If you enjoy this podcast, you can help me by leaving a review on iTunes at the link here!--Even one sentence helps keep YourCreativeChord top of mind for others to find inspiration!

With years of experience as a certified quality manager, she has gained insight, skills, knowledge, and confidence in creating, maintaining and implementing structure, systems, and processes that bring RESULTS.HIGHLIGHTS:Rudzate’s Freedom Business Formula Involves: Mindset, Commitment, Implementation“Find that weak link, what’s not working. Focus on things that bring results. You increase your profits but decrease your hours because you focus on the right things.”‘Ask yourself, “Are you being active? Or are you being productive?”“If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?”This puts things into perspective.’Rudzates’s Mentors: Vanessa Ross for her directness, Marie Forleo for her entrepreneurial advice, and Gabrielle Bernstein for her spiritual approach.“Without Mindset, there can’t be big results because you are your business.”“When you start to see results, you get empowered. It all really comes down to the mindset.”“List all your business tasks or processes. What can be delegated, automated, or eliminated?”“Prioritizing is about what brings results. If it doesn’t, why is it there?”“Just reach out to your mentor or role model. It doesn’t cost anything. Why wouldn’t you reach out?”On mentors, “You have to be careful from whom you’re learning because there’s so much noise out there.”On how to get out of your comfort zone, “It’s just… do it.

“Go After Your Dreams - Increase The Joy In Your Life!” Episode 2 YourCreativeChord Podcast
Jenny Leigh Hodgins interviews Certified Holistic Living and Wellness Expert and Certified Life Coach, Lynnis Woods-Mullins, who is currently sponsoring a trip to Costa Rica from April 29, 2020! Stay tuned for Episode 3 next Tuesday!HIGHLIGHTS:“REMEMBER to let go of perfectionism, and that you’re doing your best. I want to do my best. Sometimes you have to learn what that is.” "What's interesting about balance is--when you're in the creative zone--you wanna really protect yourself against distractions. Allow it to flow.""I've also learned to recognize when I'm not in the zone. It's time to push away--go do something else." How African Americans push themselves: "It's ingrained in us as children that you have to be 5, 6 or 7 times as good. You start to apply the need to prove yourself, the need to show that you are worthy, that you have value, that you're trying to do the right thing. It bleeds into everything you do."Why younger women have a perspective advantage on keeping balance better than most women in mid-life. "A little narcissism is healthy. Putting yourself first is not selfish. Put self first so you can be there for others." "It's an integral part of your overall health and wellness to understand that taking care of yourself and loving yourself isn't about being selfish or even narcissist[ic] at all."It's about loving everyone around you enough to know that you have to take the time for yourself so you can be there and continue to be the role model for so many people who depend on you."The one thing women can do to increase their wellness: "Give yourself permission to breathe. It's okay to take a deep breath."Find Lynnis Woods-Mullins: https://www.wellnesswoman40.comhttps://praiseworks.biz/wellness-woman-40-and-beyond-magazinewww.twitter.com/praiseworkswww.twitter.com/wellnesswoman40www.facebook.com/PraiseWorksHealthWellnesswww.facebook.com/PrasieWorksWellnessWoman40https://www.facebook.com/groups/WellnessWoman40Groupwww.instagram.com/WellnessWoman40https://www.pinterest.com/praiseworksiihttps://anchor.fm/vibelivingpodcast https://wellnesswoman40andbeyondholisticacademy.teachable.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnM9z2iN1FH-59lR9mWyEfw - https://selfdiscoveryradiotv.com/2015/10/21/new-wellness-journey-show/http://praiseworkshealthandwellness.blogspot.com/***Join me at YourCreativeChord to get ways for nurturing creativity and inspiration:https://www.yourcreativechord.com/getinspiredhere.htmlIf you enjoyed this podcast--Please LEAVE A REVIEW here! --Even one sentence helps! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yourcreativechord-nurturing-creativity-inspiration/id Support the show Grab your Inspirational Bookmark Trio to nurture your creative flow!

How To Transform Your Anxiety Through Awareness 2
"How To Transform Your Anxiety Through Awareness 2" is part 2 of 2 YourCreativeChord Podcast episodes with my guest, Transformation Success Coach, Tiffeny Town!After a long career in the financial and accounting industry, Tiffeny was constantly seeking her life's purpose with a focus on how to help others. She’s followed many paths—from network marketing, career coaching, and the medical field. She returned to the recurring theme of coaching, mentoring and inspiring other women, specifically with removing emotional and mindset blocks so women could create the life desired. Tiffeny’s story is an inspiration itself, and—in my mind—establishes her credential for turning her personal struggles into an altruistic mission. She uses her life experiences of being an adult child of an addict/alcoholic, overcoming abusive relationships, surviving financial hardships and bankruptcy, divorce, infertility, and having the courage to launch her business —as a foundation of her coaching practice. She’s done her share of working things out internally with her Life Coach. She’s gotten “serious about stepping into my own power and serving my purpose.” HIGHLIGHTS:How to create awareness by sitting still with yourself, breathing deeply, and thinking about the problem. Finding the root of your anxiety or negative belief to reframe it.Asking yourself questions and taking time to listen to yourself. The most important thing we can do for ourselves on a regular basis to ensure we maintain the balance of body, mind, and spirit.The impact of daily gratitude practice and why gratitude is not hard. Setting your intent for the day with a solid gratitude practice. Feeling the emotion of your gratitude.What we can do every day to stay positive and focused on the present and not succumb to our past, negative self-talk and beliefs.Ready to step into their power of financial, spiritual, and emotional strength?

"You Are Enough Just As You Are!" YourCreativeChord Podcast episode 2
"You Are Enough Just As You Are!" YourCreativeChord Podcast episode 2 (Part 2 of 2) features my conversation with my guest, Dr. Tara Sanderson, a “Licensed Psychologist, Author, and Clinical Supervisor in Oregon.” Dr. Sanderson has been “helping people learn the skills to live their best lives” for more than 20 years.Our conversation is relevant for those who struggle with perfectionism, overachieving, anxiety, depression, and “the inner critic.”Sanderson breaks down the process for writing, editing, and publishing her book, including why she opted for hybrid publishing. “Through international choices, you are enough just as you are.”“Be non-judgmental, on purpose, and fully present.”“This juxtaposition of feeling like what you are going through, who you are, and how you navigate the world is too much. And yet you’re not enough at the same time.”“It’s not because of intentional choices or because you’re working really hard that you’re enough. You take off all those chains and those shackles of ‘too much-ness’ and ‘not enough-ness’ by just feeling confident and comfortable with the decisions you are making. You are enough.”“The Mindfulness ‘SOBER’ tool = Stop. Observe. Breathe. Examine Options. Respond.”“Take time before your decision, pause your auto-pilot to match your decision with your values.”Checkout her book, "Too Much, Not Enough A guide to decreasing anxiety and finding balance through intentional choices." at:amzn.to/2NWSRB9Read my blog,"How To Decrease Your Anxiety & Live More Mindfully; An Empathetic Perfectionist Helps You Balance Your Life," reviewing her book here:https://www.yourcreativechord.com/inspiration/how-to-decrease-your-anxiety-live-more-mindfully-an-empathetic-perfectionist-helps-you-balance-your-lifeFind Dr. Tara Sanderson on Twitter Instagram Facebook and through her website, https://www.drtarasanderson.com***Join me at YourCreativeChord to get empowering ways for nurturing creativity and inspiration:https://www.yourcreativechord.com/getinspiredhere.htmlIf you enjoyed this podcast--Please LEAVE A REVIEW here! --Even one sentence helps! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yourcreativechord-nurturing-creativity-inspiration/id1467240333&ls=1Consider including your Twitter or IG handle so I can thank you personally!This is a podcast by YourCreativeChord.comCreated/Produced/Hosted by Jenny Leigh HodginsContent & Music © 2020 Jenny Leigh HodginsGet empowering strategies for nurturing creativity and inspiration at:https://www.YourCreativeChord.com/getinspiredhereYourCreativeChord offers positively transformational advice and action plans for achieving creative energ Support the show Grab your Inspirational Bookmark Trio to nurture your creative flow!
