Painting Your Path
If you’ve asked yourself “Am I living the life I want to live or have I been living for someone else?” Maybe you’re 40+ and asking: “What do I really want to do when I grow up?” If so, this podcast is for you. It’s time for you to do the thing you’ve been waiting to do but maybe didn’t think it was possible. Here’s what I know: You can be, do, and have whatever you set your mind to. Create life on your terms. This podcast features interviews with inspiring people who share their stories about stepping out and creating a life they love.

Resilience, Healing, and Post-Traumatic Growth: Interview with Emiliya Zhivotovskaya
In this powerful episode of Painting Your Path, I sit down with Emiliya Zhivotovskaya, CEO of The Flourishing Center, to explore resilience, post-traumatic growth, and the power of mindset in the wake of adversity. Emiliya shares insights from positive psychology on how we can process trauma, navigate challenging emotions, and support ourselves and others during difficult times. She also discusses the impact of the language we use with ourselves, the difference between sympathy and empathy, and how to reframe our personal narratives to foster healing and growth.
Emiliya and I reflect on our own experiences with loss, including my journey dealing with aftermath of the Eaton fires. Emiliya offers a free resource—her Mind Over Chatter program—to help listeners manage mind chatter and cultivate resilience.
