    It's now just about a year since starting Ignite the Human Spark and we have all, had to dig deep and find our strength, grit and determination to keep going. To find our purpose and through it become more than serving of ourselves but serving of others.

  • What else is there that I can do?
    Sep 30 2020

    As we approach the final months of 2020 it is tempting to fall into wishful ideas of 'wanting this year to end.' But the real questions that will prove the most beneficial are the ones we intentionally choose to ask ourselves that challenge our mental position to do better, be better and evolve together. Join me as I share my thought as we carry on, reflect and find a better way after 2020.

  • Reality check on mindset resilience
    Sep 21 2020

    Developing our mindset resilience has become the crux of our ability to evolve, and 2020 has been anything but forgiving. Still, it is our responsibility for the direction we choose, and we do have a choice. We can choose to be consumed by the totality of a year that pushes us to 'lack', or we can use our resistance to our advantage to grow our resilience. To become the solution, to love, care and propel hope within our ecosystems. Join me as I dive deep into some of the misconceptions as we seek to gain greater mindset resilience and lay the foundation by asking the questions most needed.

  • A message from the Curator
    Aug 11 2020

    Welcome! I am so happy you're here listening. I've wanted to start this podcast for a while but timing plays a big part in anything we set out to do. The experiences we have all had to endure living through a pandemic, making decisions for our children, keeping the motivation and wondering 'what's next' is the crux of why I started this podcast. I wanted a space where we can without the glitz and glam, get real with ourselves, what we feel and how we can together, ignite the human spark. Welcome to Mindset Bootcamp!

    xo, Nerissa J.
