summary
I am joined this week by Psychotherapist, Ordained Interfaith Minister, teacher, author, and former drag queen Matt Cartwright who shares insights on living authentically, the importance of joy and love, and overcoming fear.
We explore how childhood experiences shape our identities and the patterns we develop, the significance of being present, the power of imagination, and the need for connection and community.
Matt also reflects on his colorful life journey, the impact of social media on identity, and the importance of living with purpose and values.
Living authentically means embracing joy and love in every moment.Fear is a natural response, but it can be overcome by focusing on possibilities.We often repeat patterns instead of addressing the underlying problems.Childhood experiences shape our identities and how we perceive ourselves.Labels and identities can mask our true selves and hinder authenticity.It's essential to focus on who we are being rather than what we are doing.Imagination plays a crucial role in creating the life we desire.Our responses to life's challenges define our experiences and outcomes.Living with purpose and values leads to a more fulfilling life.Connection and community are vital for personal growth and healing.
takeaways
"You have to lift it to shift it.""Fear is the absence of love.""It's either all love or it isn't."

About our guest:
Dr Ghaz Samandari is a keynote speaker, founder, female empowerment expert and transformational coach.
Her career in women's reproductive rights spans over 20 years, driven by her personal experiences with oppression and harassment. This work has given her a deep sensitivity to suffering and a strong commitment to justice.
Transitioning from research to coaching, she now focuses on empowering women through developmental coaching, not as a traditional life coach, but by "being with" them in their journey. Her goal is to create a supportive community where women can realize their true power and potential, fostering collective growth and agency.

Reflection time!!
People are craving more life and reflecting on how they want to live.The power and resilience of women is celebrated and emphasized.Community and support are essential for living a fulfilling life.Change is hard, but there are tools and steps that can be taken to design the life you want.
I started this year with a vision for my life, my businesses and this podcast. I had no idea how much I would learn, grow and change over the past 12 weeks.
They say if you want to make God laugh, tell Her your plans...
First she laughed. Then she said, no - BIGGER.
These past 12 episodes have taught me so much about myself, my audience, my community and what we are all craving - more life!
I've also learned how stuck many of us are feeling in the lives we've created so far. The desire to gain clarity about what a good life means to each of us individually and how we can learn so much from each other.
Join me as I share the nuggets of insight and wisdom I've gained and the inspiration and vision I have for the future. I'm being called to go bigger, go deeper and dive into what it really means to live a life and live it well.
I have some amazing new guests, experiences and special surprises in store for this amazing community. But first, we will be taking a mini break as we get ready to leap into the next level of Remember(ing) to Live.

I abandoned mine for a long time as I was busy being a responsible adult and doing what I was "supposed" to do.
