  • Today we're diving deep into the concept of illusions and how they shape our lives. Whether they deter us or drive us forward, illusions play a significant role in our mindset and actions.

    Inspired by a recent trip to the Museum of Illusion in Cleveland, I'll be unpacking how our minds often create barriers that aren't real and, more importantly, how we can flip these illusions to fuel our visions for a phenomenal life. With a handy model I've developed called PIVOT, you'll learn how to turn negative thoughts into positive, actionable steps.

    Go grab your favorite beverage, and let's get ready to shake things up—because you're just one choice away from changing your reality. Join me as we explore the power of illusions and how to pivot with passion.

    PIVOT Model:

    P = Phrase (must be stated in fact form)

    I = I believe...(what do you believe about your phrase?) (<<THIS step is where you can create a positive illusion to propel you forward!)

    V = Vent (what emotions come up for you when you hear your "I believe" statement?)

    O = Observe (what might others observe you doing in response to your P, I, and V phrases?)

    T = The End (what is the ultimate outcome of you believing everything stated in P, I, V, & O?)

  • Welcome back to another inspiring episode of Pivot with Passion! I'm your host, Penny Casselman, and today we're diving into a topic that resonates deeply with each of us: the power of listening. But first, let me share a quick update on my birthday celebrations and the joy of gathering with close friends. As we lift our spirits with chatter and cheers, it got me thinking about the art of truly hearing one another.

    In this episode, we explore how listening is a beautiful gift we can offer freely, and transform all our interactions. We discuss common barriers to effective listening such as technology distractions, discomfort, self-centeredness, and the assumptions we carry. To combat these barriers, we'll introduce techniques that can enhance your listening skills and deepen your connections.

    And as a special treat, I’ll share a unique drink recipe, the intriguing 'Spaghett,' which promises to tickle your taste buds while we delve into profound ideas from Warren Buffett on making personal investments.

    So grab your beverage of choice, and let's learn to pivot with more passion by mastering the art of listening!

    00:00 Believe in claiming what you truly desire.

    15:45 Discomfort in silence hinders listening, self-centeredness, assumptions.

    17:57 Acknowledge, validate, and build on active listening.

    20:28 Reflect on interactions, identify improvements, aim for 1% better listening.

    .
    CLARITY COCKTAIL RECIPE—The Spaghett

    One bottle Miller High Life

    1.5 ounces of Aperol

    0.5 ounces of Lemon juice

    Sip the beer until the contents sit at the bottom of the woman's feet on the top label. Then, pour in the Aperol and Lemon juice. Enjoy! (no mixing needed!) You can thank me later! 😉

    .

    Here's another Aperol cocktail from Episode 5! Aperol Cider Spritz: 

    1 1/2 ounces apple cider // 1 ounce Aperol // 3 ounces Prosecco // 1 1/2 ounces soda water // Add ice

    Stir and garnish with an apple slice or orange slice; or both! 

    Feeling fancy? Add a cinnamon & sugar rim

  • Today's episode is all about discovering opportunities by helping others. We're diving deep into the mantra "Today, I can help someone," which is not just a feel-good approach, but also a powerful catalyst for change.

    During difficult times—whether you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or burnt out—looking outward to be of service to others can be transforming. By extending a hand, you'll find a sense of purpose that reignites your own passion and pulls you out of the rut.

    Join me as I explore this idea further and share my personal experiences of overcoming challenges such as loss, divorce, downsizing, and cancer. With each hardship, I've been able to lend a helping hand to others, which, in turn, has helped me heal and grow.

    Remember, sharing your story can give hope to others, and small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Let's dive into this episode and find out how we can help someone today—because when we extend our second hand out to others, we make the world, and our lives, a little brighter. Don't forget to check out this episode on YouTube as well, and if you're inspired, share the podcast and leave us a review. Here's to pivoting with passion, and cheers to the journey ahead!

  • Today, we're diving into the transformative power of turning "priorities" into "non-negotiables." Many of us end our weeks feeling like we've fallen short, beating ourselves up for tasks left undone. We're familiar with setting priorities, yet still find ourselves not sticking to them, which leads to a cycle of frustration. But what if we treated these priorities not as options but as non-negotiable must-dos?

    In this episode, I'll share my own struggle with not using my planner effectively and how I decided to stop the cycle of self-blame. I'll invite you to discover—and possibly redefine—your non-negotiables. We'll explore how this firm commitment can steer you away from the child-like mentality of "I don't wanna," and propel you towards crushing your goals.

    We'll sip on today's clarity cocktail—an inspiring quote by Earl Nightingale that reminds us not to let the fear of time needed to achieve something stand in your way. Remember, time is going to pass no matter what; it's up to us to use it wisely.

    Get ready to stand firm in your commitments and drastically alter the trajectory of your week, month, and year. Grab a red marker, jot down your non-negotiables, and join me as we pivot towards a passionate and purpose-driven life. Share this episode with a friend who could use that extra push, and let's get started!
