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”.

Lupus gets a swift kick in the pants from this amazing doctor who was diagnosed at age 16 with stage 4 kidney disease, endured 2 years of chemo and yet still attended and graduated medical school while giving herself shots daily to prevent strokes.  Through all of this she is indeed the eternal optimist who like her mother and grandmother are powerful and strong warrior women who “hover with love” in helping others achieve their dreams and kick diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis to the curb.  I’m not talking about remission here, ladies…I’m talking about HEALING from lupus and other autoimmune diseases.  It can be done!  Dr. G talks hope, love, optimism, and green smoothies in today’s episode of Lauri’s Lemonade Stand.  “You weren’t born to suffer” - let the healing begin.

“Self-care is not selfish. It is the foundation for serving others.” If this was the only thing I knew about Kim Maravich I could have based this entire podcast on this one point, but she also helped me find grace in my New Year’s Resolutions being completely derailed unexpectedly last month. These two things are enough to have you dive into this podcast headfirst and without hesitation. Come on in, the water is glorious! If that isn’t enough for you, we also talked about Kim’s latest book, 360 Health, Your Guide to Cancer Prevention, Healing Foods, and Total Body Wellness which proves that cancer can be avoided by forming some good habits are your food and well-being. Join us inside for this special treat with Kim!

Who Am I?  What Do I Want?  How Do I Get It?  Christine Hassler knows what it’s like to answer these questions, find answers, then ask these questions again to continue our journey’s on what she calls “Our spiritual beings that are having a human experience”.  We are human which means that our human selves are going to make mistakes and trip up now and again.  But each time we go through having a “breakdown to get to our breakthrough’s” we add more tools to our toolbox that put us on the path to building our better selves.  This interview is nothing short of inspiring and I can’t wait for you to hear it and find one thing that will help you in your journey towards your dreams.

Potato Love!  I have always loved potatoes.  I’ve even read about a few people who have experimented with a mono-food diet for 30 days and even a year.  I’ve read about marathoners eating nothing but potatoes, but Jeannine Elder is the first person I got to visit with one-on-one and learn her “why” behind her system called “The Potato Reset”.  I am so convinced it can work that I’m trying it myself as this podcast airs!  From an incredible back story of bad health and bad relationships (including the one with herself) to this HUGE following of potato lovers and Jeannine’s new book/cookbook called the Potato Reset, she is a YouTube sensation at “Potato Wisdom” and gives us a special insight to why it works here on The Lemonade Stand.

Goal Setting is a beautiful, messy, frustrating, sometimes overwhelming, but totally fun thing to do.  Goals in our heads rarely get accomplished.  Goals written down?  Way higher potential of coming true…but goals that are written down and throw in an accountability partner?  90% chance of coming true!  Listen in to my report of last year’s goal-setting and what I decided to do different in 2018.  Wishing you health, happiness, fun and success in 2018!  Let’s Rock This!

Merry Christmas, Lemonaders!  No interview today, but I didn’t want to leave you hanging on such a special holiday, so today I’m simply reading you a Christmas Story to enjoy by yourself or with your family and friends.  Have a lovely holiday and see you next week!

Experts in financial independence, early retirement, and debt pay-off…these millennials are well-versed in the art of making (and keeping) money.  2018 has me focusing on financial matters and turning Lauri’s Lemonade Stand from a philanthropic stand into a money-making venture.  That means learning from the experts and while these wonderful ladies are not in their 40’s, their lessons can help any of us ladies who are looking to find financial independence in 2018 (or just pay off the holiday debt you just got yourself into).  From financial apps, to their separate blogs, to their new FireDrill Podcast, these ladies are rocking it with sound ideas to incorporate right now into your new financial goals for 2018!  Have fun and get busy!

Deep self-care can mean different things for different women, but Jamie’s Self-Care Manifesto is one of the most complete descriptions I’ve seen out there that has me screaming from the rooftops that YOU can accomplish it!  Imagine…expressing yourself completely, showing your wild side, talking to yourself with kindness and compassion, doing more of what makes you happy and less of what doesn’t.  Don’t just dream about it…make it a reality!  Jamie offers tips that you can put into practice immediately, but I guarantee you’ll be begging for more by the time you get to the end of this podcast interview.  We had a great time together and that really comes through during our visit.  Kick sugar to the curb, get out of your own head, believe in yourself this holiday season and into the new year with Jamie Mendell.

Magical moments are happening to us and around us every day, but we can have blinders on that block them out.  How do we make an extraordinary life?  By practicing joy and celebrations in the every day extraordinary moments.

If I could get a t-shirt made that says “SADIE NARDINI IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL” I would wear it often.  And because she has just moved to Southern California (found out the night before this interview) I’m thinking we will have to find some time to get together, karaoke, hit the piano bar in Santa Barbara that we talk about here, and grab some fries from Veggie Grill for the perfect girlfriend date!  Sadie has given me a new perspective on yoga that will never be the same and I’m betting the same thing will happen for you once you learn all about her.  She is kind, creative, on a mission, fierce, fun, and deeply generous.  (She is also a rock and roll star, but if you want to learn more you have to listen in!)  Check out today’s amazing podcast of this Warrior Woman, Sadie Nardini!

The Art of Sacred Self-Care.  That was this year’s theme to The Well-Nourished Goddess Virtual Event held in October 2017 hosted by Dr. Mary Pritchard.  I was honored to be one of the speakers at this event and thankful that Dr. Mary gave her permission to publish our interview together as today’s podcast.  Incredibly awesome!  It is packed with amazing insights and best of all, it gives the link to my 30-Day Power of Positivity Challenge (FOR FREE!) at the end of the interview.  Enjoy today’s podcast and remember that your oxygen mask goes on first so that you can show up better in the world for your loved ones.

Positive Minded People the book is sure to impress!  Michelle is one of nine authors who were asked to share their stories of turning lemons into lemonade and she doesn’t disappoint.  Michelle has learned through struggles to trust her intuition and find gratitude in her daily living.  From moving across the country to follow her gut (and her gut was right since she’s been in California now for 19 years!) to staring down doctors until one listened to her when she knew something was truly wrong, this woman has learned what it takes to stand on her own two feet and be heard.  No one knows you like you do.  Welcome to this positivity podcast where we share our ills and celebrate our joys…together.

Mind blown!  Yep, that’s pretty much the gist of my conversation with Lauren during this interview.  She just downright knows her sh**, is proud of it, and best of all is willing to share it with the world!  In her latest book, “Maybe It’s You”, Cut the Crap, Face Your Fears, Love Your Life, she gives you the straight up framework to truly make this happen by finally being honest with yourself and others.  It is seriously hard core!  If you find that it isn’t hard core enough for you and are dying for more (or just a different style of learn said framework), check out her latest offering called Inner.U at handelgroup.com.  And if you just want some good love advice?  Listen in to find out if all three of YOUR H’s are screaming YES!  (Details inside)  Ready to change your life?  This episode will most surely do it…bring it on!
