*NOTE*  Our deepest apologies for the audio challenges on this week’s interview.  Jill’s microphone has some reverberation which was only noticeable after the interview was recorded. While we worked hard to edit this glitch, you will still hear this reverb while Jill is talking.  Thank you for hanging in there with us.

How much change do we REALLY have control of in our lives.  Doesn’t genetics play the largest role in our life path and outcome?

Welcome the science of Epigenetics which states that only 10% of our life is determined by genetics which means 90% of our life is under our control.  

“The message I want the listeners to get is to have hope that you can alter your course.  It’s up to you.  It’s in your control.  You are not destined to any pre-determined path.  I am proof that things can change and we are not bound by our genetics.”

How do adult women, who are now in the throws of caring for aging parents, give themselves permission to live and expand their own lives?  Kim shares her insights on this topic as she is learning how to balance care for her parents with the building of her own expansive life, i.e. training for Iroman.

Self-imposed ceiling and grasshoppers?  WHUTTTT?  What could these two possibly have in common? Hint:  it’s time to push the limits.   

Who are Lazy Lou and Electric Blue?  Kim talks about her alter-egos and how she has shifted the dominant voice in her head to support positive patterns resulting in feeling happier more often, enjoying life A LOT more and experiencing achievement in many areas of her life.

Three Techniques to Shift the Dominant Roles:

  1. Practice – repeat, repeat, repeat making the shift
  2. Patience – be kind and patient with yourslef – change takes time
  3. Persistance – keep going, don’t give up

Kim shares with us her thorn, bud and rose for this week and also talks about why Conviction of the Heart by Kenny Loggins is this week’s song.
