S1E10: Glimmers!

In Episode 10, we discuss the unexpected, fleeting moments in life that bring lightheartedness and joy: glimmers! We’ll define not only what glimmers are, but what they aren’t, and how glimmers present themselves to us when we are open to seeing and experiencing them. This podcast is for you if you believe that: • Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must. • Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit! • It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!” • There’s more than enough for everyone. • Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process. • People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in. The top three takeaways from this episode are: • It’s important to be intentional when noticing glimmers. Train your brain to be open to them, to acknowledge them, and to share them with others, then write them down. • Everyone’s glimmers are unique to them and reflective of their core values.  • Grant yourself permission to notice the small, synchronicities of your lived experience.  Follow us on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelley-sanchez/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jill-johns-international/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Special thanks to the amazing musician featured on our podcast, Brandi Harvey.
