Are You Stronger Than You Think?

Hey, Sparkling One, tell me, what is a sparkling life? Is it the big moments or the tiny rituals that carry you on tired days? Or maybe it's that moment you survived. You know, the one that proved you're stronger than you give yourself credit for. Maybe it's all of it. Today, let's talk about that kind of sparkle.

Welcome to the Sparkling Life Coach Podcast. 

Hey, there's Sparkling one. I'm your host, Dee Diaz, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and your friendly neighborhood sparkle encourager, holistic health cheerleader, and living proof that even glitter needs coffee some days. 

I am so excited. Today is extra special because I'm officially introducing something new, heart-centered, and very you, into our podcast channel. It's called SparkleCast. It's a listener-powered miniseries where your voice, your story, and your sparkle takes center stage. Because here's the thing, I'd like this community to be more than just what I say into a mic.

I'd love for it to be about what we share, what we've survived, what we celebrate, learn, and glow through together. And I thought, what better way to honor that than by actually handing you the mic for a moment. So, the theme of this SparkleCast series is: What does having a sparkling life mean to you? And I wanna hear it straight from your mouth.

Not the perfect answer, not the edited answer. The real human, honest, sparkling YOU answer. What does having a sparkling life feel like to you? How do you reclaim your sparkle when life tries to dim you? Is there a small ritual, a habit, or a reset that brings your joy back online? Or maybe you had a moment, a turning point, when you realized, 'Oh yeah, that brought my sparkle back'.

I want to hear the stories, the lessons, the tiny glow up moments, the "ooh child," wait till you hear this comeback". I wanna hear the tiny victories that shimmer just as brightly as the big transformations, because here's what I know to be true:

When one person shares how they spark their light, again, someone listening feels less alone and a little more brave. Your story isn't just a story; it's someone's permission slip, someone's deep breath moment, someone's I needed this today, nudge. So yes, I'm inviting you in. Actually, I'm practically rolling out the purple and teal carpet at your front door.

Your voice is wanted, your story matters, and your sparkle is definitely welcome here because you're meant to be the heart behind SparkleCast. You know, I've been feeling moved to create this because goodness knows there is more than enough noise, chaos, negativity, and gloom out there, right? 

What we don't get enough of are the real moments of resilience, the quiet victories, the stories of: 'I don't know how, but I made it through'. That sparkle we search for when life dims us a little too long, and I want this space, these mini episodes, to be about that. Not the polish perfection, not the highlight reel, but the real stuff.

Like when we shine brightly without apologies. When things get messy and human, when our brilliance flickers and we whisper, 'Dang, is it just me?' When we refuse to give up on finding the light again. Because that's the truth, isn't it? We don't sparkle because life is always easy. We sparkle because we keep looking for the shine, even when the lights go out. 

That's the good stuff. That's the real glow. That's your sparkle. So, I want SparkleCast to be a space that reminds you, that you are not alone. That being resilient doesn't mean having it all together. Sometimes it means crying in your car and then moving forward like a bruised but determined warrior.

So, here's my invitation to you. I want your sparkle moments, your 'help me understand this' moments, your messy moments, your comeback moments, the tiny shifts, the big wins, the I surprised myself stories. I wanna shape these SparkleCast episodes around your real life, real heart stuff because when one of us says it out loud, 10 others breathe a sigh of relief, 'cause we realize we're not alone.

And that right there, that builds community, that builds hope, that builds light. So, how do you join the SparkleCast? Super easy. No pressure and absolutely no perfection required, and I'm gonna give you a few options. Option One: Record a two-minute or less voice message at Fan list.com/SparklingLifeCoach.

Option Two: Send a video or a voice note, two minutes or less, to: Podcast@SparklingLifeCoach.com with a subject line SparkleCast. 

Option Three: If talking into a mic makes you wanna hide in a coat closet, no worries, you're good. You can email me your answer, and I'll read it on the show in my voice, but I'll be dramatically waving a sparkle wand in your honor.

And Option Four: Join our free community, the Sparkling Life Holistic Health Hub. Drop your message in there and stay to hang out with your fellow sparkly humans.

And if you're thinking, 'but I don't know if what I have to say is that interesting', come on, Sparkling One, trust me, it is. And someone out there needs to hear it from you in your voice, exactly the way you say it. 

So, thank you for being here. Truly. Thank you for caring about the light, yours and other people's, too.

Life isn't about being on all the time. It's about remembering who you are when the world tries to dull you a little. So, keep looking for reasons to shine. Be gentle with yourself when you're searching for the light switch, and never apologize for being a work in progress. Because even on your quietest days, you carry a glow the world needs. 

Because this is what we do here. We lift each other up, we glow together, we share the real and the radiant. We remind each other that sparkle isn't something you find. It's something you return to. 

And speaking of sparkle, if you've been listening for a while. You've heard me say this before, and you'll probably hear it from me again, as long as I have a mic and at least 18 ounces of enthusiasm left in my system.

Your life should sparkle. It should be exhilarating, energized, and filled with that effervescent sizzle that propels you through a brilliant, vivacious life. And we can increase the sparkle. Through integrative nutrition, holistic health coaching, and essential oils. But sometimes it starts by sharing your story out loud and being reminded that your light still matters.

I can't wait to hear from you! 

So, until next time, Sparkle On. And Don't Forget to Sprinkle a Little Sparkle Everywhere You Go. 

Ciao
