Marnie Nir is an Executive Life Coach and the Chief Creative Officer at Handel Group. Marnie graduated from UCLA with a degree in Russian Literature and spent several years travelling, working in music and, most notably, working for the Moscow circus. After settling down in Connecticut with her husband, Marnie found herself in need of purpose and direction. Her sister, Lauren Handel Zander, introduced her to the Handel Method and, from there, the two embarked on a partnership as coaches and leaders. Marnie also continues to explore her creative work as a blogger, columnist and co-created the animated show MotherUp!, which ran on Hulu in 2013.

She outlines the modules for the Handel Method and offers her insights into why the steps are effective and how to incorporate them into your life.

She also discusses how letting go of negative self-talk can be the key to understanding our true nature and to finding happiness and inspiration in our lives. “You don’t have to lead a perfect life. You just have to walk the talk and be able to talk about it when you trip and fall.” Marnie Nir This Week on The Power to Live More Podcast: What the Handel Method is and why it’s effectiveHow to create lasting changeWhy the Handel Method takes a holistic approach to help you find and follow your dreamsAn outline of the Handel process of self-exploration to achieve happinessWhy it’s so hard to keep promises to ourselvesWhy you should keep a thought log every day The power in moving past our cerebral minds and discovering who we really areHow to get rid of your negative inner dialogue and be a better friend to yourselfWhy letting go of your past is vital to achieving your dreams Connect with Marnie Nir: Handel Group WebsiteBook: Maybe It’s You: Cut the Crap.

She suggests an exercise called ‘Morning Pages’. You get up and first thing you do is handwrite write three pages of anything. Paula says “it works on a on a psychological level, it’s like a brain dump, can get rid of all the rubbish. It works on a creative level, because I find it just gets things flowing”.

Loretta Breuning founded the Inner Mammal Institute with the aim of guiding people in naturally rewiring their brain chemistry. She has also penned a number of books that have brought her knowledge and expertise of the subject to the public consciousness, including the best-selling Habits of a Happy Brain.  She has been featured in numerous media outlets and online publications, such as Forbes, NPR, Fox, The Wall Street Journal, NBC, Psychology Today, Cosmopolitan, Inc, Men’s Health, Fast Company, and Dr. Oz.  Loretta joins me today to discuss her research and published work with regard to how brains work in animals and in human beings. She shares her insights on how society has shaped our idea of happiness, how animal behavior is reflected in human behaviour, and why it’s important to set short-term, middle-term, and long-term goals. She explains the functions and effects of neurotransmitters (dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin) on the human body, and how and why they affect our behaviour. She also shares some tips on how to control our impulses and achieve a state of happiness in our day-to-day activities.  “Many people are effectively motivated by big dreams, but the problem is often that the dream is too big, and then the person doesn’t see progress.” Loretta Breuning This Week on The Power to Live More Podcast:  What Loretta does for a living, working from her home office.  Why she decided to do extensive research and write books in the field.  The fallacy about happiness that we’re conditioned to believe.  How understanding animals can also help us understand why we make ourselves miserable.   How the animal brain reacts to stimuli in the environment, affecting the chemicals it releases into your body.  Understanding how neurotransmitters such as dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin affect our moods and bodies.  The hierarchical tendencies of animals and how that reflects in human society.  The field of ethology — the science of animal behavior.  The core thing that we need to focus on when studying human behaviour.  The endless self-criticism that is often marketed in the mindfulness world – and why Loretta isn’t a fan of it.  The capacity to anticipate consequences which sets us apart from animals.  Why it’s hard to build a new pathway in adulthood — and what it takes to successfully do that.  The need for a long-term goal, a short-term goal, and a middle-term goal.  How our unrealistic expectations lead to the dissolution of trust and the emergence of disappointment.  Taking small steps towards happiness and personal wellbeing.  Tips and ideas for people to rewire their brains and return to a happier state.  The concept of creating “self-soothers” that could cheer you up at a bad moment.  The sense of threat and how you can avoid it.  The idea of “victim olympics” and how society rewards anxiety instead of handling it the right way.  Why you should model the behaviour you want.  What Loretta does when she has a bad day, from a rational perspective.  What a day of “living more” looks like to her.  Connect with Loretta Breuning:  Inner Mammal Institute  Connect, Share, Inspire  Thank you for joining me for this week’s episode of the POWER to Live More Podcast!

After graduating from university with a degree in business management, Linda Harris knew that she wanted to do work she felt passionate about. She had done a fair bit of travelling during her university years and ended up taking a job in travel. When COVID started, Linda found herself furloughed and eventually made redundant. Instead of seeing her unemployment as a setback, Linda took the opportunity to reevaluate her priorities, discover her strengths, and look to move into an industry that would challenge her and allow her to give back. After months of reading, reflection and fine-tuning her CV, Linda landed a job as the Head of Marketing and Communications for a children’s charity. This new opportunity has also granted her the ability to return to her home in Wales. Today Linda and I discuss her journey from travel expert to charity worker and YouTuber. She shares how the challenges of the pandemic helped guide her into a more balanced life. Linda offers some tips on creating room for the things that bring you joy while still being a productive employee or business owner. She also discusses her tendency to be an “achiever” and why being passionate about her work has helped to vitalise her personal interests. “It feels quite nice to have ticked off something that is just for me, that was not something that I had to do but something that I wanted to do.” Linda Harris This week on The Power to Live More Podcast: How Linda prioritises tasks and stays organisedWhy losing her job gave her a chance to discover her super-strengths and align them with her valuesThe importance of making space for the things that fulfill you and respecting your limitsThe joy Linda’s received from creating her YouTube channel, “Better you Books”How taking time to prepare and prioritise what she wanted led her to the right jobWhy Linda prioritised quality over quantity when it came to job huntingWhy you should pay attention to your energy and what you can actually achieve each dayLinda’s daily gratitude practice and how it has affected her perspective over the past yearHer approach to life as an “achiever” and someone always wanting to be challenged Resources Mentioned: Everything Is Figureoutable by Marie ForleoThe Pomodoro TechniqueThe Squiggly Career by Helen Tupper & Sarah EllisHelp Me! by Marianne Power Connect with Linda Harris: Better you Books on YouTubeBetter you Books on InstagramLinda Harris on LinkedIn Join the POWER to Live More CALM Membership Attention home-based coaches and consultants!

She is location-independent by choice and her movement Career Revision focuses on redefining modern education, unlocking vocational confidence and mastering professional destiny. With her considerable experience in helping professionals advance their careers, Grace has deep empathy for those navigating change and loves to share her knowledge on her YouTube Channel and her Career Revisionist Podcast.  Grace joins me today to share how the loss of her mother impacted her early life and how her change of circumstance was ultimately why she chose to pursue formal education. She discusses how her interest in converting traditional knowledge into a way to make a living and earn money evolved while she was studying for her Ph.D., and why she began to offer workshops and seminars on determining what you’re looking for from your career and life. She also discusses why she prefers not to talk about ‘days that go wrong’ but instead to see them as opportunities to learn as well as simply part of her journey.  “Have clarity. What are your career goals? Where do you want to be?” Dr. Grace Lee This Week on The Power to Live More Podcast: Why Grace saw formal education as a way to achieve fulfillment and why her views have changed Why she began to coach and mentor other educated, career-driven women  How she established her initial career workshops  Why it’s important to have clarity on where you’re starting from professionally, and where you intend to go  Why you don’t necessarily have to have formal education to have a fulfilling career Why she loves helping people go from good to great not only in their career but in all areas of their life Why it’s critical to figure out the purpose of your life How Grace works with her clients, and her process of teaching and mentoring Why she considers the process of mentorship so important in becoming the person that you want to become The tools and apps Grace uses to keep on top of her day-to-day tasks  How she keeps herself moving forward professionally Why she thinks that non-traditional career paths are on the upswing  Resources Mentioned: Zoom Telegram Trello Teachable  ClickFunnels Google Calendar One Note Connect with Dr. Grace Lee: Instagram Website LinkedIn Facebook YouTube Twitter Join the POWER to Live More CALM Membership Attention home-based coaches and consultants!
