Being Present in the Moment Matters EP 168

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/09/10

The passing of time is weird isn’t it? When we have a day with difficulties or set back, or maybe if we’re just not feeling great it can feel like a day that won’t end. This is going live the second week of September, a month that brings us autumn and a distinct change of season here in the Midwest where I live. Which makes me feel like this year is zooming by. I feel like summer always goes by quickly, and even though I truly like the change of seasons, I am always sad to see the long days come

I’m sure you’ve heard a version of the Starfish story. It goes like this: A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to

I’m glad you’re here. I know I say that every time, but I want you to really hear it because I am really glad you’re here, listening and sharing hope with me. I started this back in January and there’s no way that I’d still be doing this if I hadn’t received encouragement and support from you, the people who are listening. I truly appreciate you for helping me see that being hopeful isn’t pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking. I’ve learned and now experience hope as a practice. The daily steps we all

Celebrating Progress Over Perfection EP 165

Your Daily Dose of Hope - Fresh Start Mindset Series We've traveled together this week, from embracing beginner's mind to taking small steps, learning from setbacks, and building community. Today, I want to talk about something that ties it all together: celebrating progress over perfection. Because here's the truth nobody talks about enough, perfect is not just impossible, it's the enemy of everything we've been building this week. Perfect doesn't ask curious questions, it already knows

But here's something I've learned: all that gets easier when you don't have to do it alone. Today we're talking about building your support network. Because growth happens in community. I'm talking about finding your growth partners. The people who see your potential and aren't afraid to lovingly challenge you to reach it. We all need people in our corner who

Welcome back to Your Daily Dose of Hope. I'm Phyllis and this is day three of our Fresh Start Mindset series.We've talked about embracing curiosity and taking small steps. But in life sometimes those steps don't go where we planned. Sometimes we stumble. Sometimes we fall flat on our faces. Today, we're talking about setbacks. And why they might be the most important part of your journey. Here's what I want you to consider: what if setbacks aren't roadblocks? What if they're actually data

Your Daily Dose of Hope - Fresh Start Mindset SeriesWelcome to Your Daily Dose of Hope. I'm Phyllis, and we're on day two of our Fresh Start Mindset series. Yesterday we talked about embracing beginner's mind, the curiosity that sees possibility everywhere. Today, I want to talk about what you do with that curiosity: how small steps create big changes.

Good morning, and welcome to Your Daily Dose of Hope. I'm Phyllis Nichols. Today we're starting something special, a five-day series I'm calling "Fresh Start Mindset."

Dance Like No One is Watching EP 160

We’ve all heard the phrase, dance like no one is watching. It’s not really about dancing (though moving your body with abandon feels amazing). It’s about freedom. It’s about showing up without the weight of judgment, expectation, or perfection holding you back.We’ve all heard the phrase, dance like no one is watching.

This Might Not Work EP 159

There’s a kind of freedom in saying those four words out loud: This might not work.Honest plans begin with honest uncertainty – Seth Godin Admitting that something might not work isn’t pessimism, it’s planning and preparing for multiple possible outcomes. How many things in life would you have accomplished if you only tried what you knew for certain would work out? How many things ended up differently, but ultimately for the best? We can’t always know where we’ll end up, but isn’t it worth the

Why Paying it Forward Matters EP 158

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/08/27

One of the most powerful ways we can create ripple effects of kindness and opportunity is by paying it forward. When someone has helpedus, believed in us, or given us a chance, we carry the gift of that moment forward, not by repaying it, but by extending it to someone else. Sometimes it’s as simple as sharing encouragement, making an introduction, or offering a resource. Other times, it might mean stepping up in a bigger way to mentor, sponsor, or advocate for someone who needs a hand. The

The Ripple Effect: Finding Hope in Unintended...

2025/08/26

Sometimes the biggest shifts in our lives come from unintended consequences.We usually think of those words in a negative way, the deal that fell through, the partnership that fizzled, the choice that rippled further than we thought. And yes, sometimes the consequences hurt. They stretch us in ways we didn’t ask for. But unintended consequences can also be surprisingly good, the unexpected client referral, the person we met by chance who becomes a dear friend, the mistake that turned into

How to Turn Around a Bad Mood EP 156

2025/08/25

In a perfect world, every day would be lovely, and we’d always feel great and be in a great mood ready to take on the world. But that’s not real life. Some days just don’t go as planned, or we’re just not feeling it. We all slip into a bad mood sometimes; it’s part of being human. The good news is, we don’t have to stay stuck there. With a few intentional shifts, we can redirect our energy and lift ourselves into a better place.

What Does it Mean to be an Advocate? EP 155

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/08/22

What does it mean to be an advocate? A hope advocate? I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. The dictionary defines it this way: a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy. The “publicly supports” part of that is everything, isn’t it? What does it mean to publicly support something? Does it mean putting out a flag, putting a bumper sticker or my car, posting memes on social media? I think all of those things could be included but I’m learning from others

When Despair Is Easier: Choosing Hope Anyway EP 154

2025/08/21

This is an excerpt of an article written by Marc Elias. You can find the entire post here It usually comes as a question: What gives you hope? Sometimes it is more of a demand: Tell me something hopeful! Everywhere I turn — in person and online, from lawyers to retirees, activists to students — people are searching for hopeful words about the future of democracy. I know what they want. They want me to say that I have special knowledge, a hidden plan, some inside information that will assure them

It’s easy to focus on what we don’t have, the goals still out of reach, the business milestone we’re chasing, the life upgrade we want next. We forget that someone out there is looking at us right now and thinking, “Wow, I wish I had what they have.”• Maybe it’s the freedom to work from home. • Maybe it’s the courage you had to start your business. • Maybe it’s the confidence you carry into a room (even when you don’t feel it inside). • Maybe it’s the family, the friendships, or the simple

We often wait to celebrate until the “big win” shows up like landing the client, finishing the project, hitting the revenue goal. But those milestones don’t happen without the tiny, consistent steps that got you there. The small steps are worth celebrating, too. ✨ Sent the pitch email you’ve been putting off? Celebrate that courage. ✨ Posted your first piece of content, even if only 10 people saw it? Celebrate that start. ✨ Showed up to your desk and wrote for 20 minutes when you didn’t feel like

Some days the motivation just isn’t there. The spark is missing, the energy feels flat, and the work ahead looks heavier than usual. But here’s the truth: success isn’t built on feeling it every day, it’s built on showing up anyway. You don’t have to feel inspired to do meaningful work. You just have to keep going step by step, even on the off days.

There’s No Such Thing as Perfect EP 150

Your Daily Dose of Hope ·

2025/08/15

We’re taught early on that decisions have “right” and “wrong” answers. That if we just think long enough, research enough, prepare enough, we’ll land on the perfect choice.But life doesn’t actually work like that. Many decisions aren’t about right or wrong—they’re about options. Each one will take you somewhere different, each with its own mix of challenges, surprises, and rewards. I love how Elisabeth Kübler-Ross put it: Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You're not suddenly

When Reaching Out Feels Awkward EP 149

You’ve been thinking about them for weeks.Maybe it’s been years since you last talked. Maybe the last conversation ended in hurt feelings, silence, or something that still feels unfinished. And now you don’t know how to start—because it’s been too long or because you’re not sure if they even want to hear from you. Here’s the truth: there’s no perfect script. There’s just an opening. And the courage to take it. Only you can know what’s right for you. If someone harmed you and separation led to
