What’s better than a first-hand recommendation?

Here, you’ll find a number of items that I find useful in life and in business. Below, you’ll find products, services, and information I’ve come to trust and rely on. Many of the items that I’ve recommended are free or have a free option. Other’s are for sale or subscription.

While I use and freely recommend the items on this list, some of the links are to affiliates who will pay me a commission if you do business with them. This is my way of making the production of this podcast affordable for me while supporting businesses that I believe in.

It’s also my way of supporting your own desire to spend your attention and money on business and things that will make your life better, without having to put the time that I have in researching quality options.

Disclosure: When you make a purchase through one of our affiliate links, we get a (small) cut of the sale. It’s incremental, but it’s incredibly helpful.

I hope you find something here useful to your life’s journey.

Regenerate Your Reality

House sitting is a growing trend and, like most things, can be done with the guidance and wisdom of those who've come before, or you can just wing it and wonder why things didn't turn out the way you hoped.  Nat & Jodie have put the time into studying and experimenting with what works and what doesn't.  Let them tell you all about it.

Kitchen Staples

Revolutionize the way you grow sprouts!

The toughest part about sprouting is finding a convenient place to leave a bunch of glass jars dumped upside down to drain.  What's worse, your sprouts are always touching a wet surface increasing chance for mold.  Not anymore!

Curb your coffee habit or replace it altogether!

I've been drinking matcha for years.  It's a carefully prepared green tea powder that you can mix into hot water, smoothies, or bake with it.  It's high in antioxidants & other nutrients and is a more gentle stimulant to drink first thing in the morning. It helps me resist the coffee until closer to midday when I'll get the most use out of it ;0)

The food staple I miss most living in Costa Rica

I love starting my morning off with a serving of this delicious drink.  Stand alone in water, is my regular approach, but it's great in smoothies, too.  The best part is that all of my boys love it!  It's a great way to get your daily greens, especially in the winter.

Speed up or slow down ANY video!

If you're like me, watching info videos in regular speed can be a drag.  YouTube and some other players have a setting for speeding things up, others don't.  This extension allows you to control the speed of absolutely any video that you're viewing in your browser, from social media to online courses!

The last password you'll ever need!

I've been using Lastpass for a few years, now.  I just recently upgraded so that I can securely share passwords with my virtual team (& easily remove them when the time arises, without having to change all my passwords!)  This is far more secure than letting Chrome or Safari store your passwords.  I can even access them from the phone app!

Phone Apps

Take the guesswork out of what to plant, when!

Predict the angle of the sun throughout the year!

This app isn't only useful, it's fun to use! When planting a tree or garden, or you'll want to know how sun and shade will fall on the spot.  The free version helps you see movement throughout the day, but for a small fee, the upgrade will help you see movement throughout the year. This app can provide some valuable info for your design.

Meditation is the skill to improve all skills!

This app has been a gift to 100's of thousands of people working to improve their mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

Business Tools

30 Day Summit

This is a book and interview series that Russell Brunson did, asking 30 self-made millionaires how they would rebuild their wealth in 30 days if they lost all of their assets and had to start from scratch.  These stories and blueprints have inspired me to take new action like nothing else I've come across in my studies!  

Easily build sales funnels right into your WP Site!

Time have changed and, as you may have heard, the age of the website is dead.  Well, kind of.  Relying on your standard website design to convert customers is definitely no longer dependable. New education and technology are available and I've found Thrive Themes to be the perfect solution, and an alternative to other programs with expensive membership fees. If you use WordPress, Thrive Themes can be your perfect companion.

Turn Email Marketing into Conversations

I did a lot of research before choosing Active Campaign for my email needs.  What I like most is the ability to easily segment audiences so that I can communicate with each person in a way that recognizes the relationship that we've already created. It allows me to specialize my communications depending on a limitless string of conditions.  The pricing is more than fair for what it has to offer.
