  • Hello to you listening in Fort Collins, Colorado!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Two Old Women by Vella Wallis recounts an Alaska legend of betrayal, courage and survival. Based on an Athabascan Indian legend passed from mothers to daughters of the Upper Yukon Valley in Alaska this tale tells how 2 old women abandoned by their tribe during a brutal winter famine create a means to survive. After being left behind in a snowy woods one woman says to the other, “We may die out here - at least let us die trying.”

    My prayer goes like this: “One day I will die. Let me die doing - no try.”

    Story Prompt: I imagine you have a prayer of your own. Where did it come from? What inspired it? How does it help you? Write that story!

    Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something. All that matters is you have a story.

    You’re always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe, share a 5-star rating + nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Maybe like me you have spaces in the year when you are not overly busy. In fact, you might be underly busy.

    Perhaps your reaction is to scramble to be productive.

    But productivity is not always related to action.

    What if there’s another valuable way to use the underly busy times?

    Amos Tversky, an expert of decision making, wrote, “The secret to doing good research is always to be a little underemployed. You waste years by not being able to waste hours.” [Amos Tversky — An Amazing Man]

    Practical Tip: Think about this for a moment. What’s the rush? There is time to devote to day dreaming or staring out the window while giving our wonderfully creative imaginations time to breathe, show up, solve a problem.

    Question: What would be so wrong about giving ourselves permission to be a little underly busy? How might that notion play out in your world?

  • Hello to you listening in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories from Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Do you FEEL it inside? Nagging at you? Just out of reach?

    You have something to say. But you can’t find the words. So, your story can’t create the change you want to see.

    For 30 years, I’ve helped people take their story from a message only they could hear to the publishing world, the courtroom, hospitals, board meetings and more.

    Stories that swayed juries. Built markets. Spread ideas. Changed things.

    Today, I help socially conscious women professionals and entrepreneurs create their origin story with the spirit of who they are. It may be the most consequential story you’ll ever tell; the one that reveals how you got from There to Here.

    If you can feel the story in you, that’s enough to get started. I’ll help you find the words you didn’t know you had so you can give voice to the heart of your message and the message of your heart. Then we’ll launch it so you can create the change you want to see and be.

    CTA: If you are a professional or entrepreneur who's committed to building her origin story with the spirit of who you are, for branding, marketing, speaking, your About page, or something else, let’s work together to create the change you want to see!

    Feel welcome to DM me: Diane on LinkedIn, check out all the wonderful offerings on the Quarter Moon Story Arts website, or email me at [email protected]!

    Let's make 2024 the year you create & tell your origin story!

  • Hello to you listening in Bordeaux, France!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Maybe like me you find yourself stuck in a line at the post office, the grocery story, the ferry terminal, or just everyday traffic red lights as far as the eye can see.

    You feel yourself growing increasingly impatient, chest clenches, heart rate ticks up, shoulders squeeze, lips tighten.

    No peace of mind to be had.

    Practical Tip: You are not only the master of your fate - you are also the master of your mind. All it takes is a little practice. Try this:

    Breathe in slowly and mindfully saying to yourself, “This is my in-breath. I know I’m breathing in.” Pause for a moment and breathe out slowly and mindfully saying to yourself, “This is my out-breath. I know I’m breathing out.” After a few of these in-breaths and out-breaths (or maybe more than a few) you’ll feel yourself softening, your shoulders relax, your heart rate slows, your mind a bit more calm, peaceful, steady and ready to continue on your project, on your way.Remember that this practice is available to you at any moment to restore and refresh. Guaranteed!

  • Hello to you listening in Perth, Australia!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Recently I read a blog post by my friend and colleague Leanne Gordon. Leanne's Drip by Drop blog posts are designed to be “A daily dose of thinking helping you to make change happen in your work and life.”

    Joy In The Making caught my ear. In brief the idea is that we often arrive at the end of something and wonder why it took us so long to get there. Or, we listen to others who chide us for taking so long. I remember a galpal who moved away a few years before I did. She said, “When you finally move you’ll wonder what took you so long.” Not!

    What we’re forgetting here is the process of our productivity. Making the journey gets us to the destination. As Leanne writes: “The meaning and joy is in the making.”

    Story Prompt: I imagine you are making something. What is the joy you are taking in the making? Write that story!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Here’s a scary thought: Saying No to someone when we're used to saying Yes. What are you afraid of?

    Many of us, especially girls, are taught that saying Yes is right, good, proper, helpful even and saying No is just plain wrong. The problem is the more we say Yes when we mean No we forget how to make choices in our own best interest and well-being. This self-sabotage robs us of our ability to choose wisely, of our personal power, of our legitimate right to say No with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

    Of course, there’s nothing wrong with agreeing to a request from certain people in our lives so long as we are not limited in our options, feeling compelled, thinking we will be rejected or worse. It takes practice to practice No. What do you get? What do you want? Name it! Claim it!

    Practical Tip: A simple response to a request to take on work or favors you want to decline is to say, “No. It’s good work; but it’s not my work.”

    Question: How does it feel to value and appreciate your own good self saying what you mean and meaning what you say?

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Perhaps like me you have walked a long road to find out how to use your voice to shine a light into the world that would be vastly incomplete without you. Perhaps you might still feel self-conscious about using the power of your voice.

    Hear me when I say this: it’s your time! You did not come to Earth to be quiet. Set aside your limiting beliefs. They are of no use to you! The world needs what you have to give. If what you have to give is a cup of water would you deny it to a world that is thirsty? Of course not!

    The more you get to the heart of your message and the message of your heart the more likely it is that you will speak your truth, live your truth, and the world will be less thirsty.

    CTA: You can always read another "How To" book; but let's stop wasting time and get to the heart of your message to connect with, engage and influence your audience. If you are curious message me on LinkedIn or email me at [email protected] to set up a Discovery Chat. Let’s get to the heart of your message!

  • Hello to you listening in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire, England!

    Click HERE for more on Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire, England.

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    The salmon are running here. The ones that left our estuaries as small fry, headed out into the Pacific Ocean and return home a few years later as fully grown adults to spawn, their wild adventure at an end. Like the salmon there have been moments in my life when I risked it all, on a dream, a vision, a hope. My risk-taking ways have rewarded me with chances I could not have taken from the comfort of an armchair. But of late I find myself feeling rusty, maybe drifting in the current, anxious to feel alive in the old way.

    I know what calls me. David Whyte’s (our Whidbey Island, Washington poet laureate) poem A Song For the Salmon, gives voice to that deepest longing, to be gone again on a great journey. Perhaps it will call to you...

    A Song For the Salmon

    “For too many days now I have not written of the sea,

    nor the rivers, nor the shifting currents

    we find between the islands.

    For too many nights now I have not imagined the salmon

    threading the dark streams of reflected stars,

    nor have I dreamt of his longing

    nor the lithe swing of his tail toward dawn

    I have not given myself to the depth to which he goes,

    to the cargoes of crystal water, cold with salt,

    nor the enormous plains of ocean swaying beneath the moon.

    I have not felt the lifted arms of the ocean

    opening its white hands on the seashore,

    nor the salted wind, whole and healthy

    filling the chest with living air.

    I have not heard those waves

    fallen out of heaven onto earth,

    nor the tumult of sound and the satisfaction

    of a thousand miles of ocean

    giving up its strength on the sand.

    But now I have spoken of that great sea,

    the ocean of longing shifts through me,

    the blessed inner star of navigation

    moves in the dark sky above

    and I am ready like the young salmon

    to leave his river, blessed with hunger

    for a great journey on the drawing tide.” [by David Whyte ]

  • Hello to you listening in Vigo, Galicia, Spain!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Society does not approve of laziness. Imagine what society would say about establishing a Lazy Monday!

    My teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, encouraged us to take a Lazy Monday. What’s the point? “A lazy day is a chance to train ourselves not to be afraid of doing nothing. You might think that not doing anything is a waste of time. But that’s not true. Your time is first of all for you to be - to be alive, to be at peace. The world needs joyous and loving people who are capable of just being. People sometimes say ‘Don’t just sit there, do something’. But we have to reverse that statement to say ‘Don’t do something, just sit there’ in order to be in such a way that peace, understanding, and compassion are possible.”

    Question: You absolutely can afford a Lazy Monday! What’s it worth to you to give it a go?

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    There is so much noise about the many ways available to us to open a new door, more doors, better doors to your life, your business, your heart, your relations... it’s exhausting! Do we need all those doors? Might there be another way? Yes.

    Perhaps you’re familiar with the Brazilian novelist Paolo Coelho de Souza who wrote the best seller The Alchemist, as well as The Pilgrimage about his road of self-discovery on the Camino de Santiago.

    When I read what he had to say about doors I paid attention. "Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere. Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere."

    Story Prompt: Begin here: decide which door or doors you will close today? What might happen next? Write that story!

    Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something. All that matters is you have a story.

    My very dear friend, colleague and newly launched podcast host, Mark O’Brien, invited me to share 60 minutes of radio air time with him on his program The Anxious Voyage talking about living life, making a ruckus, and lifting up this tired world as only two storytellers can.

    Together we demonstrate how much we can overcome, how much we can accomplish, and how much farther we can get when we believe in ourselves.

    Our conversation was intimate, insightful, and illuminating ranging from adversity to accomplishment, tragedy to triumph. As Mark said, “If you don't know Diane Wyzga, you should. If you watch this show, you'll want to.”

    You are in for a real treat! Recently I sat down with my friend and colleague, David Marlow of Ikiquest, on his newest venture: Podquest. It’s billed as a journey of rich conversations exploring our lives as quests in uncharted lands to learn ways to support our questing.

  • Hello to you listening in Kailua, Hawai’i!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    Life is language and stories. When we speak our truth with clarity, confidence and conviction we are seen, heard understood, and listened to while transforming the lives of those we serve.

    What communication problems do I solve with you? I help professional women - like you - find the words they didn’t know they had so that they align the power of their voice and words with clarity, confidence and conviction to connect with, engage and influence their audience to action to make the change they seek.

    For example:

    "Perhaps you are a business owner looking to advance your business or practice but you have no story. I help experienced women - like yourself - discover and shape the story they need to clarify their ideas and amplify their messages in their own voice with the spirit of who they are."

    "You are challenged telling someone who you are, what you do, and why it matters. Let’s uncover your talents and create your story so you confidently and intentionally say what you mean and mean what you say."

    "You want to sell an idea or share a vision but don’t know where to start. Imagine transforming your uncertainty into a stunning presentation, keynote, About Page, or something else. I'll help you manifest your dream."

    CTA:

    How do I work with you? Through a mix of personalized one-on-one consulting, self-guided learning, and production assistance. The key to our partnership is focusing on your potential to bring your desired future into reality; it’s a collaborative journey.

    Curious? Direct message me on LinkedIn or email me at [email protected]. It’s time to say what you mean and mean what you say!

  • Hello to you listening in Sparta, New Jersey!

    Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

    “Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly but the bumblebee doesn’t know that so it goes on flying anyway.” [Mark Kay Ash]

    How often do we get caught up in our ego, our expectations of what we can or can’t do based on the next fellow or gal’s accomplishments. The next fellow or gal doesn’t matter.

    To keep me on an even keel and headed toward my own horizon I find grace and courage in these words from M.F.K. Fisher because when I pay attention I know they are true:

    "I am more modest now, but I still think that one of the pleasantest of all emotions is to know that I, I with my brain and my hands, have nourished my beloved few, that I have concocted a stew or a story, a rarity or a plain dish, to sustain them truly against the hungers of the world." [M.F.K. Fisher]

It grew from interviewing wonderful women with stories to share to daily episodes with theme-based stories and messages. Today there are close to 1,100 episodes all designed to inform, delight, inspire, motivate, provoke, illuminate, and provide story prompts. I’ve grown as my podcast has grown following a mission to explore the power of stories to engage, connect with and enliven listeners to action. I trust I have met a world-wide need: offering hope and delight no matter where your feet touch the ground!

    My gratitude to you and each of you who have listened, subscribed, generously reviewed, shared, supported, and spread this podcast all around like grape jelly on a toddler. I would be nowhere without you. My success is your success.

    CTA: Let’s Celebrate that by adding a wealth of 5-star reviews on Apple Podcasts!
