EP: 17 Survival Is Not The Enemy, The #Sparked Life Podcast

Purpose Peep,

Have you heard statements that pit surviving against thriving?  Some sound like, “go from surviving to thriving.” I went so far in one of my tag lines to say, “end survival as a lifestyle to thrive in your life of purpose.”  During my exploration of yes/and strategies,  I heard the divide and could see another possibility.

Screenshot (549)Surviving and thriving are not at war with one another or at opposite ends of a spectrum.  We are wired to kick into survival mode when needed and to return to our homestate when the danger is no longer present.  The issue lies in staying in survival mode in a defensive posture, which can be problematic to thriving in life, which requires being open, vulnerable and available to our path to purpose journey and experiences.

I realized my desired outcome for myself and clients is not to end survival as a lifestyle but to transform survival as a lifestyle by letting it be just what it is–a temporary strategy.  We are all living through temporary survival strategies as our response to the COVID19 pandemic.  Life will shift as we live and heal through this experience.

I believe that as we co-create our new normal, what we learn and cultivate during this time will become the bedrock, the strong foundation, for what will come.  In this episode, let’s unlock and face our survival patterns of old and hold them up to the light of now and who we are becoming as Purpose Peeps.

Listen here.

NEW EPISODE AVAILABLE

Hello Purpose Peeps!

In this episode of The #Sparked Life, we uncover great synchronicity that’s been building throughout the last 5 podcasts.  Don’t you love when life teaches us something over time–sort of like a slow build?  I wonder if life chuckles when we recognize the connections?  Cool thought, don’t you think?

Learn how:

  • How our last episodes were taking us on a journey about our journey (say that 3 times really fast)
  • Why now is such a great time for intentional sparked life living
  • How we have been building a bridge to reconnect with our child while being equipped to support the younger Purpose Peeps in our lives
  • What the Be Your Type of Super movement is about
  • Our assignment and mantra to explore until our next time together

As promised here are some cool links:

The #Sparked Life Podcast EP 10: The Purpose & Power of Your Story

The #Sparked Life Podcast
The #Sparked Life Podcast with Dena Wiggins

Hello Purpose Peeps!

In this episode of The #Sparked Life, we unlock the purpose and power of our stories.  This is a great follow-on from recent episodes!

In our last time together, we unlocked the milestones in our story that reveal what we are graced for.  Then we layered our experience map with our distractions that we experienced and how we perceived them at the time.  Our homework after this session will be adding our major relationships!

I am so excited to share more about my purpose story and how I experientially learned the power of the sparked life mindset and intention.  Check out how these lessons were reinforced with recent events.  Purpose Peeps, this is sooooo juicy like biting into a Georgia peach!

Build Awareness

  • How purpose unfolds
  • How we relate to life events
  • Affirming synchronicity

Intentional Practice

  • Choosing to have the sparked life mindset and intention is a choice
  • Adding the relationship lens to our path to purpose story
  • The duality of living the authenticity of your stories and experiencing the bigger messages

Mastery

  • What are the themes do you see?
  • What are your breakthrough patterns?

EP 9: The #Sparked Life: How Distractions Serve Your Sparked Life

The #Sparked Life Podcast
The #Sparked Life Podcast with Dena Wiggins

Hey Purpose Peeps!

In this episode of The #Sparked Life, we have a real-life experience of how April showers bring May flowers! You know how we say things so frequently that they lose their impact?  Today, at the beginning of May we will have a purposed resultant experience to revive to the power of processes that are for us!

What’s required for this revival? Great question.

What is required is a mindset shift about our relationship with the distractions in our lives.  In this episode, we will have a Cross Pollination Key To Success experience.  Cross Pollination occurs when we combine things that do not seemingly go together to create something new. This is the secret sauce process of good strategy and we are applying it to our personal strategy to leverage everything living the sparked life has to offer!

Discover:

  • The process to unlock distractions
  • Mindset shift about distractions
  • How to integrate distractions into our Sparked Life toolkit
  • To fully realize the purpose of distractions

Our exercise is a carryover from episode 8, What Are You Graced For. It’s powerful and will allow you to see how April showers brought forth May flowers in your life, repeatedly through evidence of your life story.  This element of The #Sparked Life toolkit does not replace faith, which activates by believing before you see it; instead, it activates bigger faith through your story until now! Bigger faith allows you to take bigger inspired action steps towards your results that matter.

Pay it forward and share with other Purpose Peeps who need a sparked life aha quickly followed with some steps and exploration to make the aha stick and integrate into their lives! Don’t forget to subscribe!
