Every Day Genius: The Podcast

The Format

Every Day Genius: The Podcast - Daily, short, bite-sized episodes with tidbits of wisdom (usually 5-8 minutes) from your host Michele Jennae and a series of inspired guests.

I take a lovely hour-long conversation and break it into lovely "coffee breaks" so that you can get to know my guest over the course of a few weeks.

Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday - Michele Jennae shares from her heart what's on her mind.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday - Inspired guests share their Genius with you about their personal and professional journeys. The line between professional and personal often fades away.

💞The Week in Review

Recap

Our lovely and insightful guest Lisa Tighe and Michele Jennae continue in conversation about our work in the world. On Monday, Lisa explains how and why she works with women in mid-life [137], and on Tuesday about what that looks like as far as being seen in the world [138]. She rejoins us on Thursday to talk about Doing Big Things! [140] and finishes the workweek on Friday sharing the penny drop of energy work, what it's like to help a client gain healing and insight through Reiki and EFT.

Your host and yours truly Michele Jennae starts off the week on Sunday with the VIA Strength Perseverance [136]. (We are going through 2 VIA Strengths a month as there are 24 of them. More VIA Strengths offerings coming soon to take your StrengthsWork to the next level!)

On Word Wednesday [139], we dive into the roots and ruts of the word "learn." It's a deep and furrowed exploration. 😉 Saturday's episode [142] touches on the power of imagination and story for creating a better future.

Sunday: [136] Perseverance: A VIA Strength

Episode 136

In episode 122 I explored the VIA Strength of Self-Regulation. Today I explore Perseverance, sometimes called Grit, but I contrast it with another VIA Strength, Self-Regulation.

I propose, loosely, that one is about saying no, and the other about saying yes. They are both about commitment, but in different ways.

Monday: [137] Helping Women in Midlife

Episode 137 with Lisa Tighe

Lisa Tighe shares the questions she was asking herself as she entered into "midlife," what we can refer to as a transition period, when our roles change, and we're looking for a new expression for our life purpose.

These are the same questions you may be asking yourself, and it is here that Lisa has a mission to sit with you, be a guide, and hold your hand as you go through your transitions.

Tuesday: [138] On Influence and Being Seen

Episode 138 with Lisa Tighe

In today's episode, Lisa Tighe joins us again to talk about influence and being seen, how she feels about seeking fame and fortune, where purpose comes into all of that, and how in order to help, there is a need to be known.

Listen for an energy shift as we conclude today's episode, as she realizes how much limiting beliefs can actually be unconsciously in the way of how we are meant to serve.

Wednesday: [139] The Deep Roots and Ruts or Learning

Episode 139

Brought to you by your local gardening metaphor, the word learn is related to furrows and ruts, to planting and to cultivating.

It goes deeper though - pun intended 😉 - but you'll have to listen in to find out!

Thursday: [140] Doing Big Things

Episode 140 with Lisa Tighe

Today Lisa Tighe and I continue our conversation about influence and self-promotion and how the language we use both affects and is affected by our mindset, and in a very real way affects how and if we are able to do big things.

Together we change the language we are using for a more holistic way to feel about how we are showing up in the world.

Friday: [141] The Penny Drop of Energy Work

Episode 141 with Lisa Tighe

Lisa Tighe and I both have found energy work to be incredibly powerful and of immense value to many of our clients, not to mention to ourselves. We talk Reiki, Penny Drops or moments of sudden insight, and a synchronous moment for Lisa involving a Batmobile!

Saturday: [142] Telling Stories for a Better Future

Episode 142

My amazing friend Jill C Brown posed a thought experiment in one of her Facebook groups, to be in silence for a half hour or an hour, or basically to be without story. It prompted me to think about this in the context of another "story" I saw on Facebook, an inspiring one! Especially given the nature of media these days with a lot of fake news. What are we to do?
