1. 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday: Save Your Soul - Don’t Feed the Monkeys 2:16

Hello to you listening in Helsinki, Finland!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

These days it takes more than the usual effort to stop trying to burst people into flames with my mind.  

What’s going on? What isn’t? The craziness is triggering our uncertainties, raising our blood pressure, interrupting our Sleep, and worse.

My dad used to say, Diane, Nie mój cyrk. Nie moje małpy. Not my circus – not my monkeys!  

Practical Tip: Do not sell your soul for peanuts to feed the monkeys at the circus. It’s not your circus. It’s not your monkeys. Instead, find a moment of beauty and shelter in that for now.

You’re always invited: “Come for the stories – stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe and spread the word with a generous 5-star review and comment – it helps us all – and join us next time!

Diane Wyzga Story Guide/Coach, Podcaster, Speaker & Trainer

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars? And then because it felt fun and scary you did it again until you were streaking down a hill with the wind blowing in your face and your hands up over your head screaming, “Look ma! No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
