We often hear phrases and buzz words that sound amazing and yet we may have limited knowledge of what it really means to experience or embody what sparked us in the words or between the words. We hear words like resilience, nimbleness, pivoting, the ambiguity that easily lose power and potency without the stories of the experiences of unlocking the meaning and the journey that gives the words high placement as we co-create and write our life stories.

Unlocking Principle: We travel to understand the words that spark us and touch our soul.

When I met Joyce, within our first conversation, I knew she journeyed these words and life experiences--they became a part of who she is! I knew immediately that she had a sparked life perspective worth sharing. Joyce has an aura of authenticity and "loving what she is doing" that takes her on many courageous risk experiences that show up throughout her life, including her work life. Did you catch that sparked life placement?

How do you start a coaching practice at the beginning of a pandemic? How do you balance being a solopreneur and a single mom who is homeschooling during a pandemic? How do you wear many leadership hats within your community of peers and not burn out but burn up and spread out through a flame of intention? Listen and find out!

Joyce is the Founder of Rise Above Coaching, an executive and leadership coaching firm based in Washington, DC that works with international NGO's and Associations. Joyce has coached people from all levels of the workforce and cultural backgrounds, from senior executives to entry-level professionals. Being born and raised in Kenya and moving to the US, her story tells a real journey of resilience and following your inner star no matter how scary that journey appears. Her energy and warmth are liberating. Joyce serves on the Board of Directors for the District of Columbia Society for Human Resource Management (DC SHRM). She partners with Metro DC International Coaching Federation and leads their Racial Equity Community of Practice. Joyce holds a master's degree in human resources management and a master's in business administration from the University of Maryland University College. She is certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources® (SPHR). Joyce has also received the designation of Certified Executive Leadership Coach by Georgetown University's Institute for Transformational Leadership. Joyce is also a founding member of the Lean In Sparked Women of Purpose Circle. Learn more about Joyce at www.riseabovecoaching.comlisten to her CEO interviews here.

During these unique times, you may be experiencing some emerging truths. These truths bubble up on the inside and shake up our lives. You may be thinking, do I really need any more disruption during a global pandemic and unprecedented social justice uprising, and whatever else is on our watch? It is during these times you can gain clarity on what you take a stand for and tap into what will sustain you during the marathon required for significant change.

Like the lotus flower that grows through muddy waters, these emerging thoughts are unclear, perhaps nudges that something is shifting. And this process does not come with an instruction manual and can be beautifully messy!

During this episode, we have Purpose Peep, Brandon Peele with us. Brandon lives and breathes purpose. Listen as Brandon takes us through some recent inner shifts. We touch on some of the inner work that is happening within us that is shaping our responses to the clarion calls for we hear sounding loudly for change.

Purpose Peeps, there is homework! Apply Brandon's heart-centered advice to arrive at your authentic and intentional action towards your vision of flourishing.

Brandon Peele (he/him) is a Midwesterner, best-selling author, international speaker, the Vice President, People Science at ion Learning.

Dena Wiggins (she/her) is a Best-Selling Transformational Author and MBA informed Purpose Doula. She wholeheartedly believes that purpose is the birthright of humanity and intentionally refers to all of humanity as Purpose Peeps. Dena’s sweet spot of service is to transform the many ways of living survival as a lifestyle into the many ways of living thriving lives of purpose. This shift is vital to members of BIPOC communities who have experienced systemic oppression as well as doing our individual and collective parts to the end intentional oppression that is the antithesis of thriving lives of purpose. Her style is to be a voice of shared experience meeting clients where they are on their sacred path to purpose journeys with empowering frameworks reflective of her lived experiences, Divine guidance, and learnings in--spirituality, facilitation, purpose, and strategy--all working in service of clients delivering their purposeful expression into the world. Learn more and grow in connection at www.denawiggins.com.

Donald Jenkins, the CEO of Purpose Development Institute has a unique answer to that question. His perspective is that this time in history is revealing the Purpose Deficit Disorder™ that is at the root of the problem of racism. Focusing on our purpose development in a way that draws from our deep wells of purpose is the key to unlock the grit, commitment, and tools to galvanize the action steps and momentum beyond the protests.

How did Mr. Jenkins develop this insight? How did he tap into his deep wells of purpose? In this episode of The #Sparked Life, we will hear the purpose story behind the soulution that led to the movement. What movement? Check out Donald Jenkin's book, Building The Super Race™: Shaping Race Relations Through Purpose Development. Get the book to learn the six steps to sustainable change in race relations. www.pdiatl.com

As we are months into the world's response to the COVID19 pandemic, many of us are experiencing the extreme stressors of the attack on human life as well as the painful requirements to reduce its impact. During this time, the ailments of our time are revealed in full view as the capacity of the world is too full and stretched to cover them.

During the last weeks, the world mourned with the family of Ahmaud Arbery as we watched the video of his murder amongst intense public outcry. Let me ask the question that is the elephant in the room, does the sparked life matter and exist within such difficult and challenging times? While the world is in survival mode, is thriving an option?

Thanks to a friend sharing his heartbreak about Ahmaud's murder, I was reminded of a part of my purpose story, my family history, that is so painful I locked it away. Locked away with that pain and trauma is also the story of a family hero who in the face of indescribable pain, weaved an amazing story of love, purpose, and social advocacy.

I am thrilled that The #Sparked Life Podcast's first interview format features a painfully complex and beautiful purpose story that will help us answer some of the big questions many have during this challenging time of history. Please open your hearts and hear a story of a tragedy that birthed purpose and societal change with Mr. Kenneth Barnes, Sr., Community Leader, Purpose Prize Fellow, Founder of Reaching Out to Others Together (ROOT Inc.) and father. Here how the unthinkable allowed him to coin the term, Chronic Traumatic Stress Disorder™ (CTSD) that built a platform for change in how we view and treat youth who are repeatedly traumatized by gun violence.

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.

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.

Many of us are experiencing an uninvited guest in our sparked life–it’s an elephant in the room! The more we try to ignore it, bypass it, positive think it, optimism it, or try to jump on its back and drive it out; it looks at us and enters another room in our lives.

COVID-19 is the Divine storm and its disruption is the elephant moving through the rooms of our lives. Daily we see rooms we thought were off-limits being entered. That signals the depth of shifts and changes required to weather this storm.

• The purpose of elephants in our rooms
• What Divine storms reveal

How are you doing? This podcast is number 2 of the “late posts." The beginning of the year was a doozy, or so I thought before the Coronavirus Pandemic! And yet, we know while living the sparked life that late is a relative term in the realm of Divine timing.

Episode 15 was recorded in late-February when several aspects of life that were stable were shaken. It's like being in the middle of an earthquake and holding a potted plant or some valuable when everything is shaking. These events felt as though they were uprooting plans and grounding I felt through years of unlocking and inner work. Think about the times we agree with sayings like, "bloom where planted," or "shift happens." These times are at the intersection of what we believe and the life tests that transition what we believe into our being. Episodes 14 and 15 of The #Sparked Life Podcast will bring all types of juiciness to episode 16 The #Sparked Life Meets The Elephant In The Room.

Back to episode 15, Shifted By Divine Storm... This episode reveals a pattern that exists among Purpose Peeps like you and me who are invested in our sparked life now and tend to guard the sparked life against the "other stuff" that appears dim the spark. Do Divine storm events put out our spark or do they act counterintuitively as conduits to strengthen our spark? Hmmmm...

This episode of The #Sparked Life explores the gifts of our purpose mindset coupled with how we build our faith muscles. Travel with me to unlocking the power of our mantra, "the junk of life, the difficult things of life are fueling my spark.”  It's interesting the different catalysts that birth our shifts and how the things that seem to derail our timing and our plans are actually on time. Listen on Apple here and other platforms here.

How are you doing? This podcast is one of two "late posts." The beginning of the year was a doozy, or so I thought before the Coronavirus Pandemic!

This podcast was recorded on January 1, 2020 before challenges appeared to "jump me." You know, the pile on we experience from time to time, which is really the beginning of a Divine storm (spoiler alert). Divine timing relates to a different clock that is connected to our purpose and destiny. It's when we try to put Divine storm events into the box of our understanding when our sparked life appears to be replaced by storm clouds!  Listen to episodes 14 and 15 of The #Sparked Life, and witness how life was preparing me for this time. Purpose Peep, you may also review the events ending last year and beginning this year differently. These episodes will bring all types of juiciness to episode 16 The #Sparked Life Meets The Elephant In The Room.

Back to episode 14, Your Almosts... You know how we get into the doing zone when we see the light at the end of the tunnel, and we press our foot on the gas to soldier on? First, we may hit a bump in the road, shake it off and keep going. Then we may hit a speed bump, something that is definitely saying slow down. Ultimately, there is a crash when our vehicle is halted and we have to accept that we were almost at the end of the tunnel, just before the finish line and we will not make it.

This episode of The #Sparked Life explores the gifts of our almosts and leads us to our powerful mantra, "Every experience in my sparked life counts and matters."  It is one thing to believe that all things are working for our good and it is another to experience the many ways that truth plays out in our lives and builds a reservoir of faith to take us through the next level of truth experience and faith activation.

Your spark is at the center of living your sparked life. Living from your spark is the secret to living the sparked life, no matter what.

No matter what includes circumstances that do not feel "spark like." No matter what includes the challenges of life. But if we reflect on the words of the intro, "crashing through the dark alright, we all got the spark, we all got the spark tonight." Crashing through dark moments is a part of the process for our spark. Without dark or dim moments, how would we see the spark or appreciate how it operates in our lives?

In this episode of The #Sparked Life Podcast, we unpack the nature of our Divine Spark:

• Divine Spark as a purpose partner,
• Divine Spark as a believer, and
• Divine Spark as a refresher!

We have homework that helps us to close out this year or decade in gratitude and awareness of our spark moments with an affirmation to hold us together in this awareness until we meet again.

Listen here!

XOXO,

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!

What are you graced for? After a chance meeting with a sparked Purpose Peep whose light was so incredibly bright that it filled the room, I realized the experience was not just something to revel at, it was unlocking something for me. But what was it?

After recognizing this as a spark experience, I responded by reflecting. Quietly the answer came. I could see what this person was graced for without a business card, without an elevator pitch or a title or letters behind a name. I saw what this person was graced for by how he served--passionately & without reserve. Then, I learned the other stuff that most of us lead with.

But that aha is not the nexus of this episode. We each get to figure out how to authentically extend purpose. Beyond the example of service and within short purpose stories, I observed how it looks to know what you are graced for and give it away. The timing is amazing because I spent a lot of time creating freemiums to serve and get to know Purpose Peeps but what this person was doing was showing up, giving himself away, having experiences like you would not believe which opened doors of opportunity like you would not believe.

In this episode, we unlock what we are graced for, and end in an activity for you to see the "graced for" signposts in your life! Share with other Purpose Peeps and don't forget to subscribe. Most importantly, share what you are graced for and your experience in doing the work to unlock and leverage it! We are also having an experience of this life lens as our Big Question of the Week in the Purpose Peep Community.

Wow, it's been a minute... Can you believe we are approaching the end of the first quarter of the year? Incredible, right?

In this episode of The #Sparked Life Podcast, we unlock a part of one of my favorite purpose math formulas. It hails from one of my favorite teachers and mentors, Jack Canfield, author of The Success Principles and the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. It is Event + Response = Outcome or E + R = O.

In this episode, we apply E + R = O to being sparked. So the event is being sparked, which we do not own, it's something we experience plus + our response, which we completely own = our outcomes.  Looking at this purpose math, we see that our outcomes are co-created!

Our new podcast includes:

Catch Up! You know how friends that have not spoken in a while pick up as if they spoke yesterday,

Real life examples of the power of our response! It's so juicy,

How the purpose partners spark & nudges work in our lives,

Realizing the true intention of our sparks,

Welcome to 2019! The transition from 2018 to 2019 was beautifully reflective for me. I was led to share a couple of key insights that may have a broader appeal. I call these key insights #keys2success because it requires me to be intentional about the application to get the desired result--success which I define as results that matter!

In this episode learn how:

1. Seemingly unrelated stuff, the life stuff, comes together to weave a purposeful story
2. The significance of Kairos messages and what they require from us
3. Four #keys2success that I was nudged to share
4. A keep it super simple (KISS) technique to unlock more about words that spark us
5. Why it's ok to take our time with setting our theme word or intention for the year
6. Our first The Sparked Life affirmation for 2019

Purpose Peeps, I'm excited about 2019. I am thrilled to be even more intentional this year and being guided through a process to integrate my downloads and nudges. This is what happens when co-creation is in your DNA and a strategic decision for my business.

If we believe life is working for us, what is it preparing us for? How many times have we looked in retrospect to discover we were being prepared for something but missed the clues? Here's a way to respond differently and get a new result.

I have an online program called the Unlock Me Review available at www.denawiggins.com with a Purpose Peep coupon that I share in the podcast, with a mini version available through the podcast. Learn:

• My tried and true technique to "squeeze the sponge" and make room for the new
• How to be at peace and bless a time period before moving forward
• 3 Questions you can apply at any time to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity

Go into the next phase of your path to purpose with perspective, a strong foundation and new tools in your toolkit!

Every learning that we glean in life can be extracted and leveraged as a key to our success.

Part of the ongoing action requirement of living The Sparked Life is to continue to unlock and sharpen the tools in our toolkit. There are some super simple exercises that become a part of our intentional practice that make all the difference in how we experience life.

Enjoy!

With love and commitment to you living your sparked life,

In this podcast we explore, "Have you evah?" No, I did not miss a spell check! This is, "have you ever" with an attitude.

Purpose Peeps, have you evah:

• Had some life events or situations that knocked the wind out of you? AND, you did not share about your experience because you're supposed to be be further along and the event "should not" rock you to your core?
• Had some life events that took you back to your existing or survival toolkit?
• Had some life events that appeared like the thing you thought you conquered or the test you already "passed?"
• 
  

If you answered yes to any or all of the have you evahs, guess what, you are a Purpose Peep living The #Sparked Life with the OPPORTUNITY to have a different relationship with life and as a result, different outcomes! Listen and consider three perspectives to shift the dynamic of have you evah to building your #Sparked Life muscles!

The Have You Evah 3P Shifters:

1. Prioritization shifts your relationship to the event. What is the placement of this event in your life RIGHT now? What is in your CURRENT toolkit? Do you see the path the event cleared to take you to a new resource in your toolkit?
2. Purpose shifts the event from something against you to something for you even if it comes in a challenging package? What is the purpose of the event as it relates to your spark?
3. Past connections can sometimes make the events seem bigger and larger than what they really are! You are not the same Purpose Peep as when you last experienced something like this.

...And of course there is some juicy homework to leverage what we unlock about YOUR #Sparked Life! This time we unlock three activities to:

1. Match your perspective with where you are on the purpose path,
2. Unlock your responses to life events, and
3. Envision your outcomes and Align with your required Responses!
