Lauri's Lemonade Stand

Welcome to the Lemonade Stand, A Positivity Podcast for Women with a focus on serving mature women into the next chapter of their lives in a determined and fun way (cause it’s my favorite age so far!). I am Lauri Mackey, a Certified Holistic Health Coach who promotes three elements of holistic health: psychological, physical, and social well-being. I believe that if you can find and maintain balance in these areas that you have the greatest capacity for happiness in your life. Life experiences and knowledge has made me a cheerleader of hope, a promoter of physical fitness and maintaining a healthy diet (I favor a whole food, plant-based approach), and then showing up in the world with the greatest capacity to serve. This service is why I started this podcast - to bring together the world’s leading experts on having fun, showing up as our authentic selves, and just plain finding tips, hints, ah-ha moments, and life lessons to help in our journey. “Sucking Lemons” moments happen to all of us, but this podcast is here to teach us how to make our own “Sweet Lemonade”.

World 24-Hour Champion in mountain bike racing (along with numerous other mountain bike wins) and Whole Food Plant-Based Eater, Sonya Looney believes in being Brave and Doing Epic Shit.  In fact, it’s her slogan that she has used as her personal mantra for years!  Pushing past boundaries, being courageous in all aspects of life, her daily gratitude practice, her anti-inflammatory diet, not to mention her amazing love life with her dear husband Matt will inspire and empower you.  You might not feel up to riding a 24-hour, multi-day, 50-mile, or 100-mile mountain bike race after listening to this podcast, but there is no doubt you will smile and feel better for having listened.  Want more Looney?  Visit sonyalooney.com or visit Sonya on all of her highly active social media sites!

Love that Simi Botic felt honored that if my dog snored under my desk during the interview (hubby out of town and puppies were with me on recording day) that she would be deeply honored.  It shows the true character of Simi as what I learned of her to be…a woman of character, kindness, and beauty.  Her story from corporate attorney to her own craziness around body image to the deep desire to help other women has me wanting to just hang out with her more often.  Luckily, you can hang out with her here on LLS for the next hour…enjoy!

Miss America 1985 has kissed her share of frogs!  Now, I don’t mean that as a physical truism of course, but Sharlene Hawkes is author of the book, “Kissing a Frog” - Finding Comfort Outside of Your Comfort Zone which I have read and highly recommend.  Quoted as saying, "I decided when I was a girl I would never not do something because I was afraid”, she has lived by this law her entire life claiming nothing goes as planned, but she is the better for it.  Find out how you can replace the word “change” with “adventure”, that anything can be learned given “time and patience” and how you can take your stagnant pond to a growing, thriving ecosystem of amazing life!

Steampunk Romance is Nancy’s new groove of writing and I am in love!  I read her first quest into this new series called Beauty and the Clockwork Beast and can’t wait for her next steampunk in 2018.  But don’t wait to read this and other Proper Romance novels like my favorite, My Fair Gentleman in stores now!  Nancy’s imagination and her ability to take your emotions (ALL of your emotions) to another level is astounding.  The mystery and suspense, the love and passion, the humorous and grit will all leave you on the edge of your seat and when you’re done?…begging for more.  Dive into the world of all things Nancy Campbell Allen in this week’s amazing interview of this incredibly talented author.

Hot Seat Time! Listen to this week’s episode with Kate Arms from Signal Fire Coaching as she puts me in the hotseat for one of her FREE 60-Minute Powerful Coaching Conversations that she offers on her website. Kate left me feeling completely at peace, grounded, and at the same time driven. She took me from my scattered thoughts of inefficiency to giving me ONE insight WITH an action plan to make it happen. She even gave me a date to get it done by. Pretty sure I’m going to hire her as my coach in case you’re wondering after you listen to the interview. See how Kate can help you realize your dreams…I’m not kidding or blowing smoke!  Within one hour of speaking to Kate I had already recommended her to two other people I care about. Enjoy this episode (and my vulnerability) as you watch Kate guide me towards my dreams one step at a time.

Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley…don’t you just love those shows?  I own the entire 8 season collection of Laverne and Shirley and one thing I noticed was that whenever The Fonz cameo’ed on Laverne and Shirley or vice versa, BOTH sitcoms aired the program for that season.  Elizabeth Johnston of Own Your Creativity was a guest on LLS on Episode #10 and just a month ago I was able to be interviewed on her podcast and thought - lightbulb!  Let’s pull a Laverne & Shirley and share our episodes!  So here you have it…an in depth discussion about Lauri’s Lemonade Stand as aired on Elizabeth’s podcast, Own Your Creativity on March 10th, 2017.  Enjoy!

Mindfulness - what does that mean?  It’s a buzzword found in the media quite often and I wanted to know more about it.  Denise Watson is the guru of mindfulness…not only in physical well-being such as mindful eating and yoga, but in the spiritual and emotional well-being…like in mindful eating and yoga!  Not only will you enjoy this interview as Denise bares some of her past that brought her to her mindfulness ways, but she offers a special discount code to you, my Lemonaders on her mindfuleatingtableware.com.  Tune in and get the code and prepare to change your thoughts around eating and being mindful…yes, I’m going to eat my lunch with my non-dominant hand today (see interview for deets!).

Classy, fun, motivated, and inspirational.  These are the words I would use to describe Traci.  She has taken her life from burnout (a couple of times just to be sure) to bliss.  You will be touched by her honesty and transparency of self.  She is brave in her sharing and has now found the courage to help others along their journey as well.  Listen to this podcast and then go find her on her podcast at Journey To There or visit her website for some one-on-one coaching at journeytothere.com.

Hilda is what convinced me to have Coach Jennie on the show.  I LOVE that Coach Jennie has given a name to that dumb little voice in our heads that says, “I Can’t, I Shouldn’t, I Don’t Know, or my favorite, I Don’t Wanna”.  Coach Jennie does not wrap up her coaching skills in a warm fuzzy…she takes her signature cathartic shoves and pushes you outside of your comfort zone to realize our full potential in whatever field of business or personal passion you are pursuing.  Join the movement!  #HildaMustBeStopped!

Profane, but right on the money in showing you how to mentally declutter…I loved this interview with Sarah Knight.  I’ve put her advice to the test and it worked!  To-do lists, must-do lists, her 3-step plan to taking care of what you need to do so you can do what you want to do.  Her two best-selling books, The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a Fuck and Get Your Shit Together are must-haves in your self-help library.

Feisty, fun, connected, and grounded…that’s how I would describe this incredibly talented and creative artist, Erin Stutland.  This interview not only embraces the need for her particular brand of workouts (combining powerful mantras with dance and kickboxing), but takes us on a time travel through her past, her delicious love story, and her new TV show out now called Altar’d on Z Living.  (Look for it on your local cable channels)  Enjoy this amazing interview!

Music that has inspired me for twenty years, I could hardly wait to get Hilary Weeks on Lauri’s Lemonade Stand.  Seeing her live has always been a special treat and I own every single one of her albums.  Her songs have seen me through life’s moments and I can’t wait to share her love for music with you.  After 20 years she finally did a concert tour in 2016 and is planning another for spring 2017.  Check her out at hilaryweeks.com and I hope to see you at one of her events!

“Vibrant Solutions for an Ordinary Life” Yep, that catch-phrase of Dr. Julie Hanks pretty sums up her work in a nutshell. Staying away from Burn-Out, Asserting yourself and speaking your mind without crushing the other person in the relationship or conversation is where Dr. Hanks excels. Listen as I delicately give her a scenario from my own life that she puts into perspective and shines a light on to help all involved move forward. This spunky therapist rocked my socks and if you let her, she will rock yours!
