That tug that you’re feeling is calling you to step out of the routine, step out of the ordinary, and step into the extraordinary. Listen my sweet friends, it’s inviting you to Opt Out. We have not been given unto a spirit of fear., but of power, love and self control. We all, yes, every single one of us on this planet, are each called to live an extraordinary life. This can take many forms, because each of us has different callings that we are passionate about. Don’t worry if you don’t know what you are passionate about at this moment, because on the horizon is your own extraordinary path: the zone specifically designed just for you and all of your experiences and gifts. What are you waiting for? Opt out!
This podcast explores the ins and outs of “Opting Out”. Taking your ball and go home when you realize the game is rigged. Finding out what you love and doing what you love all life long. Doing the unexpected and unexpectedly ruffling feathers, many of them our own.
It is hard to pick just one thing, so expect all the things! Lots of content here: We interview those who have their own opting out stories during our “The Extraordinary Zone” segments. You will also find the “Your Extraordinary Path” series withing the series designed just for you with love. Much of it is unscripted and extremely inspired, so expect the unexpected, you are welcome here.
What Road Are You On …. To Pasture? …Or is it to Slaughter?
Imagine for a moment you could zoom out from your limited first person view and get an omnipresent point of view, like one you would in Google Maps. From this perspective you can see where you are now and the destination. If you were able to see several miles ahead what would be the destination?
Would it lead to pasture or to slaughter? Often times we don’t always fully realize if the path we are on will lead us to where we are wanting to go. Ultimately no one wants to go to the slaughter, but neither do the sheep. How can we know if we are on the right path or if we are on the”… way which seemeth right unto a man…” (Proverbs 14:12)
Do you hide or keep your success and good news to yourself?
Do you fully celebrate and bask in the joy of your hard work?
If you find that you shine a little less bright to make sure others don’t feel bad in the event of your success it’s time to come out and shine friend. Go up to that attic and collect those success boxes covered in cobwebs and dust and let it all out. I totally give you permission to have a blow out retroactive success party. Make sure to send me an invite. ❤
You may ask: “where is my path to success?” It is overgrown and covered by hurts, hang-ups and patterns; by negative thinking and societal influencers. We must clear away the overgrown weeds, thorns and brush if we are to uncover and expose our beautifully and personally designed path. It is just waiting for us to set foot on it and take the first step.
Step one, Dream Big and unapologetically.

The world seems to be getting darker and more negative. With tech there are even more avenues for negativity to spread it’s contagious poison. It is so much easier for the negative noise to get past our defenses and wreak havoc on our minds and the minds of those we care about. The mind is both a powerful and vulnerable part of us. How do we strengthen our defenses, fortify ourselves and our family and friends?
Our newest podcast answers these questions and gives practical tools to be used now to change the trajectory of negative talk and dark cloudy attitudes that inevitably invade our lives.

It’s good to take note of your current relationships. Do they bring nourishment or do they bring toxicity? One can bring you into fulfillment, the other can drain you terribly. This episode asks the question: how does this apply to you?
James came by to help us test out our equipment, and it turned into an amazing story about transitioning from the military, achieving your goals, and giving back.
