Advertise on podcast: Reflections and Encouragement with Mike Brown

This week I’m joined by fellow ND alum, friend, and former colleague, Jetaun Davis. She’s the third guest to appear on the show. We reflect on her life/career journey, her Journey to Jupiter podcast, and how her interview with me on her show in Feb. 2020 inspired this show, among many other things that have manifested since that time. We encourage everyone during the days, weeks, months ahead to stay focused on navigating our personal purpose journey, because it can help guide us while we navigate what’s happening in our world and local community. Check out Jetaun and her work at: https://linktr.ee/jetaundavis And join/follow the SOULSTIR journey at: www.soulstir.co

This week I process a number of birthdays/anniversaries celebrated the past few days/weeks, and encourage us to allow ourselves to experience all of the feelings we have and use them as inspiration to carry on and put one foot in front of the other as we continue to use our gifts to live out our purpose and make a difference in the world. Reminder: You can still get an AUTHOR SIGNED copy of Little Netta's Gift (while supporting a great cause) at: https://soulstir.co/products/little-nettas-gift

In this message I encourage us to check in on each other.

Comfort Zones and Kindness

My dad, Charles L. Walton, joins me this week as we reflect on the events that have transpired over the past 30 days and beyond, including our relationship, our family, Little Netta's Gift (my first published book), and the Lil' Jeannetta Robinson Gifts of Love program.

This week I reflect on my health, the hiring on ND's new FB coach, and provide an update on the Lil' Jeannetta Robinson Gifts of Love program.  Through all of the things, I encourage us to maintain a positive spirit of it being Open Door season in our lives no matter what we're going through.

This week I share gratitude for everyone's support during my health, entrepreneurial, and philanthropic journey the past several weeks.  Inspired by words of wisdom from Ruby Bridges a few weeks ago, I encourage us to be the ones who make this a December to remember!

Milestones.

This week I reflect on my continued journey with epilepsy and encourage us to stay patient.

This week I reflect on my sister's birthday, my company, SOULSTIR's, first press release, and the aftermath of having 2 seizures in 24 days, which were life darts I didn't see coming.  I'm so thankful for God's grace and mercy, and for all of the thoughts, prayers, beautiful words, and acts of kindness from sooooooo many people.  As we approach the week ahead, I encourage us to stay focused on responding to life's darts with a positive attitude/mindset.

This week I reflect on my follow-up appointment with a neurologist and a beautiful #NDFamily homecoming weekend of sorts with alumni and friends returning to campus for ND's home opener. As we continue to navigate the week, I encourage us to pay more attention to the little things, the little moments, the little details - it can make a BIG difference in your life and life of others. Have a great week!

This week I reflect on two words: Thank You! Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, kind words, and love. I'm grateful for each of you. While I still have more doc appointments/tests, etc ahead, the initial diagnosis for my seizure is pointing toward the need for much more sleep and rest - all things I can def. work on. As we approach the week ahead I encourage us to fill our cups, so we can have something to pour as we try to make a difference in the world. Have a great week. Bonus note: This is message #80, WOW! Thank you for being on this journey with me for 80 weeks. God is good. Let's GO!
