In this way, we find "resonance" with the current reality, putting ourselves in phase with a higher vibration.

She shares ways to fine-tune our inner listening skills. Learn Jeanne's success formula as she explains the importance of having a coach in your corner.

In this interview, Carol learns how, at a low point in her life, Melissa accidentally discovered mindfulness. She describes how, over a decade ago, with a divorce looming and thousands of miles from home, Melissa attempted to bend herself into a pretzel in her first yoga class. She was sore for a week, but it was just what she needed to guide her through a difficult time in her life.  The yoga experience launched her into what she would later understand to be mindfulness – helping her become more aware of her body, thoughts, and emotions. It also ignited a passion for being present for others through her entrepreneurial pursuits.  As a logo, website, and user experience designer, Melissa has built her business and her reputation on bringing simplicity, clarity, and meaning to each project, all values that emerged from her gentle introduction to mindfulness.  Today, she is the co-founder of Nobody Life with her husband, J. A., and strives to raise her daughter and live each moment with the same level of awareness she first started practicing over a decade ago.

An Interview with Marisa Raymond, a wife, mom, mindfulness coach and board-certified genetic counselor and founder of Marisa Raymond Coaching. "Find the fun" is a motto that Marisa Raymond believes is necessary to live life with ease. Marisa Raymond, a successful genetic counselor, mom, coach and yoga teacher talks about her journey from being a serious perfectionist attempting to control life to a Fun-preneur who embodies Mary Poppins' philosophy: "In every job that must be done there is an element of fun. You find the fun and *snap* the job's a game." Marisa began her professional career as a genetic counselor in the U.S., a career she loved; however, when her husband was offered a job in France they felt they couldn't pass up this once-in-a-lifetime chance. Marisa shares the thrills and disappointments that came with the decision to move to what she and Concetta call the 'Ex-pat Planet'. They discuss the unique experience of living and thriving in a foreign land, which the stress of ultimately led to Marisa having serious health issues. Listen in to see how she rose up out of that challenge by living life in the moment, discovering that when she let go of control, connecting with her children as well as her own inner child, she actually had MORE control. This led her to find a way to bring together her past work experience, her natural talents, what she loves doing and the element of FUN to create Marisa Raymond Coaching. She and Concetta explore the notion that by tapping into our 'inner Mary Poppins and inner child' we can get curious about the world around us. This allows solutions, connections and possibilities we never imagined to arise naturally. Marisa is passionate about working with families to enable them to release their frustrations so they can create their own unique visions of their family and how they want to live their lives.
