P.S. We Expire with Morgan Motsinger

Ep15: Tragic experience that made her leave her 20yr corporate career to educate women in entrepreneurship with Kim Trathen

Kim left her 20-year corporate career after a tragic personal loss as a result of domestic violence. We discuss what emboldened her to make such a profound shift in her career from corporate to business coach and why entrepreneurship, especially for women, is her passion. 
 
We discuss the cost of staying silent truly is. We talk about how to manage the overwhelming amount of input people have into our lives via the internet and how to be okay with speaking with vulnerability. 
 
Kim is launching her small business education program Small Business School AP Track April 1st. If you want to learn more about marketing, sales and building a successful small business, visit her website: https://kimthebusinesscoach.com/enroll

Ep14: Resilience (Part 3) Embracing Personal Responsibility

This episode is for you. Not your husband. Not your obnoxious neighbor. Not your mother-in-law. 
 
This episode is all about personal responsibility. When we shift the narrative from being a victim, full of blame and shame, to the understanding that we have much more choice in our lives than we give ourselves credit for, possibilities open up.
 
We'll examine personal responsibility in relationships, in our mental and physical health. We will discover what the number one implication of embracing personal responsibility truly is. 
 
Join me on Instagram for lots of little blips of insight into mindfulness, healthy habits for mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing, and more.

Ep13: Resilience (Part 2): Gaining Perspective

Everything we believe is because we've thought something over and over and over again. This is good news because it means our beliefs are optional. 
 
Knowing that we can consciously choose our beliefs is empowering and contributes to our ability to be resilient. We are not stuck with the beliefs we've always had about money, relationships, or the hard things that have happened to us.
 
Today, I'm sharing 3 helpful thought reframes:
1) Both/And
2) Asking "What now" or "What next"
3) The power of "or" and always looking for another story

Ep12: Africa Brooke on Self-Censorship and Choosing Courage Over Comfort

Why do we self-censor? What are the risks of not living with integrity? We are rarely comfortable having difficult conversations, even (or maybe most especially) in our intimate relationships. Fear, conditioning, or experience may keep us from being totally honest with ourselves and with others. We can learn how to stop censoring ourselves and choose courage over comfort. 
 
My guest today is an expert in self-censorship. Africa Brooke is a consultant, accredited coach, strategist, and international speaker who specializes in helping public figures, established entrepreneurs, teams, and individuals with personal or professional challenges related to self-censorship and self-sabotage.

Ep10. Religion and Spirituality: leaving the evangelical faith of our childhood with Geneva Bennett

In this episode, I brought on my sister, Geneva, to explore various view points of religion and spirituality.
As I started to have questions about the belief system I grew up in, I started to see a lot of the harmful messaging that can be present in a fundamental and evangelical culture.
As I began to explore further into this, I see that while there can be beauty in a religious community, there are many other sides to this coin. And my mission today, is to share mine and my sister's experience with the whole picture.
I'll be sharing how I began to understand more about myself in the process, and feel like I really grew from that.I'm so excited to have Geneva join me on this episode as she really adds a wonderful perspective to this whole journey that both she and I shared.If you feel like you have benefited from this episode, or know someone who you think would, please share it with them. Know that you are not alone in your own "spiritual" journey, whatever that may look like.If you'd like to connect with me further, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/morgan_motsingerOr, if you'd like to dive more into the other content that I am happy to share, you can catch me at:MorganMotsinger.com
