Life is - with Neil and Veronica

Life is Happy YOU Year

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 14:32:03 GMT

Welcome back! We have missed being here and having our chats.

With a calendar year changing over we discuss how focusing on YOU and making updates to the great you that you already are is a great mindset to have & how the word new is not what we want to use.

Life is not skipping chapters

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 12:01:13 GMT

No matter the season or chapter we find ourselves currently in.

No matter how amazing or hard it is.

In the end not skipping chapters will be what is best to help you grow and move onto the next chapter.

Life is choosing your words

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 12:01:18 GMT

We have said before but it is worth repeating. Words matter

And when we choose them with intent they can carry us through our day, a season and even an entire year.

Join us as Veronica and Neil choose their word for 2024 and discuss the meaning behind them.

Life is making adjustments

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 11:07:04 GMT

Big or small. Temporary or permanent. Sure or unsure and anywhere in between.

Adjustments are a daily occurrence in life and when things that are not in our control come around, these adjustments we choose are part of the control we do have.

Embracing, owning and learning from them is what we most recently learned from our life experiences.

Life is a full plate

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 11:01:27 GMT

When we think about a plate of food it can represent a number of different things when we look at what we take on in our lives.

It can represent a boundary for what you can do or not but it can also start to be how you take control of what YOU add or don't add into your life. Unapologetically of course.

Veronica and I take the time to discuss a quote and this analogy while also weaving in some actual food stories from our past!

Life is sorting your thoughts & feelings

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 11:55:49 GMT

Sometimes we can get our thoughts and feelings all mixed up especially when we are going through negative feelings.

But sorting our feelings from our thoughts and setting our thoughts on the right track can propel our feelings back to an ideal state.

Life is keeping promises to yourself

Tue, 08 Aug 2023 11:01:11 GMT

When we look at self-confidence at where it comes from. It's not from our accomplishments, our professional designation or anything external.

It actually comes from all the promises that we keep to ourselves. And when we can stack one by one these promises we keep, than our true confidence begins to shine.

Life is disappointing others

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 11:00:30 GMT

It is something that we cannot avoid in life but we can change how we feel & think about it.

When we focus on making decision for us we will inevitably disappoint someone and that is ok. If you can honestly answer that you did your best with the time that you have, then you can let the disappointment of others go.

While this is easier said then done just know that this is a process and you can make steps towards getting better at this every day.

Life is a piñata

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 11:00:48 GMT

Sometime we can't see the progress we are making from our daily actions just like each strike on a piñata.

Until that one time, that one more try that breaks the whole thing open and the reward comes flying out for you and all your supporters to enjoy.

So keep going, keep consistent and one day that "one more try" will make all the difference.

Life is admiring your own beauty

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 11:00:10 GMT

Inside or outside. Within yourself or within someone else.

Beauty has so many different facets and when we are able to admire the beautiful qualities we bring into this world, everyone benefits from it.

Life is about observation

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 11:00:23 GMT

When we observe and not watch our world around us, our gratitude and fulfillment will naturally become greater.

It seems like such a simple change but has such a profound impact on our happiness.

Life is refueling

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 11:01:10 GMT

Whether it is throughout your day, daily, weekly or any other length of time, taking the time to refuel is a necessary and important part of looking after ourselves.

Whatever it is that you need, whatever it is that fills you up, be sure to refuel yourself to continue to move forward and even propel yourself ahead. Because you are important and you need it.

Life is knowing your worth

Tue, 02 May 2023 10:01:03 GMT

Depending on WHERE you are and WHO you are with our value can feel different. When we know what we are worth and which person, place or thing makes us feel that value, it is such an amazing thing.

So be sure to know your worth and seek those who value you that in you!

Life is changing the precedent

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 10:01:34 GMT

When we write our own story, we are also able to make changes for the next page or chapter.

And if we happen to have set a precedent in the past, we also have permission to change that at any point.

Life is being bold

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 10:01:35 GMT

Being bold isn't a bad thing. In fact when we are bold enough to take action, make a change or even speak up, it allows us to grow and learn who we are and what we want for ourselves.

Life is worth celebrating

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 10:01:00 GMT

Coming off of some accomplishments these past few weeks, it came up in our conversations the importance of celebrating your hard work that was put in along the way to get you to your goal. Take the time because you have earned it!

Life is pouring into yourself

Sat, 01 Apr 2023 12:24:39 GMT

What is the #1 investment for everyone?

Your first thought may be to think of a financial investment like real estate or the stock market. But in fact the one thing that we should all invest or time & energy into is OURSELVES. Let us tell you why!

Life is taking in the view

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 10:01:12 GMT

As we reflect on a memorable trip we had last fall, we talk about how when we take in the view, be where we are and not live behind our camera too much, those memories become even better thinking back on them.

Life is clearing space

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 10:00:33 GMT

Spring time brings the season of change and fresh beginnings and along with it the thought of clearing space.

Whether it is your closet or your to do list, when we clear out the things we no longer need it lifts a weight off of us we didn't know was there.

Life is magical

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 11:46:20 GMT

Coming off our first family trip to Disney we sit down to discuss how life is magical.

There are many magical moments in each day & when we focus on them, we begin to find joy, fulfillment and happiness more often no matter where we are.

Life is not all or nothing

Fri, 10 Mar 2023 11:00:29 GMT

From our personal experience, getting stuck in our thoughts and spiraling into thinking that our decision is all or nothing can have an impact on our personal mental well being.

When we begin to isolate a decision or event and realize that all the other the dominos aren't going to tumble over then we can begin to end the spiral.

Life is Yours

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 12:23:06 GMT

This amazing thing called life and the time we have, is spent most with this one person....YOU!

And so when it comes to what you do, what you choose or what fills your cup the only person that matters in the end is you, because life is yours and no one else's.

Life is full of decisions

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 11:01:19 GMT

Big, small or in-between we are all faced with decisions daily. And the outcome of these should be separated from what we made as a good decision for us at the time.

As Veronica says "The best decision is the one YOU make"

Life is taking up space

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 11:00:58 GMT

When we take the space we deserve and want it brings the mindset of abundance into our lives. It also helps others around us feel that energy and gives them permission to do the same!

Life is removing perfect

Fri, 17 Feb 2023 11:01:27 GMT

Progress over perfection... attaining perfection is NOT a thing & perfectionism is a mask for our fears.

Whether it's rejection, failure or an external validations, removing perfect from our words and our life, is a step is the right direction.

Life is not an apology

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 11:00:57 GMT

We need to STOP saying sorry for our feelings, emotions, choices and boundaries. And we should only be apologizing when we know we have made a mistake that we want to change going forward.

Life is about significance

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 11:01:36 GMT

When we direct our focus on what is significant rather than what's important we are able to multiply our time and free space in the future.

But what is significant is up to each and everyone of us to decide not only for ourselves but our relationships and our families as well.

Life is about energy

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 11:00:26 GMT

Whether it's the environment we are in, the people we surround ourselves with or the shows we watch, energy is all around us.

And making sure that we are adding to our energy and not draining it can make all the difference!

Life is hard

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 12:06:50 GMT

Being able to know that life can be great, abundant, fulfilling AND hard has allowed us to work through those hard times and situations.

We hope by sharing some of our hard stories that you know whatever your hard is or will be, that having others to connect and discuss with will help when done in the right environment.

Life is not balanced

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 11:00:31 GMT

When we use words that create an unachievable mindset it may be time to yet again throw things in the garbage.

And when it comes to balance, whether its between work, life or anything else, we feel there is a better term we could all use to give us the space for things to flow and change as needed

Life is an iceberg

Tue, 17 Jan 2023 11:01:09 GMT

After an email came through from the kids school showing a "Success Iceberg" we decided to discuss this in our life

Whether it is success or emotions, the visual representation of an iceberg, with the majority of it below the surface where no one can see it, applies.

Life is being unique

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:00:45 GMT

When one golden moment sparked an idea in Veronica, it led to us having a conversation about how we can sometimes question our uniqueness. How we want to be accepted for being our own unique selves.

Whether it the clothes we wear, the activities we do or the colours we love, step into the comfort of being unique, of being yourself and owning what you love. Then at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what other people think.

Life is better slowed down

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 11:00:29 GMT

Life can pressure you to feel rushed and always hustling. After all, isn't there the term "hustle culture". YUCK.

Well today we take some time to discuss some stories that made us realize we needed to slow the EFF down, take some time to pause and just live life is the slow lane.

Life is about the F word

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 11:00:39 GMT

The dreaded F word. It can stir up strong emotions and feelings when we hear it, but maybe it's about shifting our perspective on it and what we can gain from it.

Join us as we talk about some of own experiences and feelings and even find out what Veronica's favourite F word is!!!

Happy New Year everyone! In our first episode in 2023 and in keeping with the "Myself, My Health, My Wealth" focus, I discuss an impactful analogy Veronica was taught early on in her career about prioritizing what matters to you.

Life is about being kind to yourself

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 11:00:21 GMT

Veronica and Neil end off 2022 series of podcasts talking about a very important topic - being kind to yourself.

And as we tip toe into 2023 with our big dreams, we talk about the need to get rid of our inner bully, what we can do to help ourselves be more kind and getting away from the "New Year, New Me" garbage.

We hope you can be kinder to yourself one thought at a time.

Life is about traditions

Tue, 27 Dec 2022 05:32:44 GMT

Coming off Christmas this past weekend, Veronica had a great idea to discuss life and traditions.

Traditions can be such a beautiful thing and can evoke so many memories, feelings and emotions from the past and while being present. With that being said, you have the ability to continue, evolve, change or stop these traditions.

We hope that while you listen to our stories, that they make you laugh and smile all while making you think of your own past traditions and maybe some new ones you'd like to start.

Side note: be sure to catch the YouTube video at 18 minutes to see Veronica's ah-ha moment about Neil's math skills! Check it out here: https://youtu.be/Vh1F6dZ83Vs

Life is taking the time to reflect

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 11:00:47 GMT

Everyone has a story. Join us as we take some time to reflect on our story as a couple and some takeaways on being present. Maybe there will even be some moments that will make you laugh along with us.

Whether its daily, seasonally or annually the power of reflection can have a profound effect on allowing you to appreciate how far you have come in your journey and becoming the best you possible.

Life is having a vision

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 08:17:09 GMT

It's about dang time we started this podcast on what life is all about for us! It only took us 21 years - yup! Today is our 21st "date-iversary"! I asked Veronica to be my girlfriend at our semi-formal 21 years ago on this date. Maybe more on that in a future episode.

So - We're approaching Christmas, the end of 2022 and going into 2023 and conversations are surrounding us about vision boards, resolutions, goals... so, hear us out while we discuss how life is... having a vision.
