Inspire Me Forward
Inspire Me Forward is a series of conversations where guests from all walks of life and every corner of the world Share Their Stories. We talk about life, love, and everything in between.
We are now on Season 7 entitled:
Positive Foundations for when Life throws a Time Shift
There are times in our lives when our relationship with time changes. Sometimes it is a slow burn, sometimes a U-turn. Your perspective of time might evolve into a space where you value it more, perhaps it speeds up, or maybe it slows down. However you are affected, life does throw time shifts, and in those moments, we are called to look for positive foundations. Resources that help us hold our bearings and tend to our resiliency. Helping us stay grounded and not float away altogether.
This season, we will speak with folks who have experienced those time shifts and stayed upright through the dynamic force, the change, and the landing. We will discuss what kept them standing. What did they hold onto so they could settle into that new time perspective with a gentle heart and feet firmly on the ground?
Welcome to Season 7. Let’s talk about Time Shifts.

At Inspire Me Forward, our belief is that we inspire others when we share our stories and share a collective connection. We let each other know that they are not alone in this big, beautiful world. "The courage it takes to share one's story might be the very thing someone else needs to open their heart to a brighter tomorrow".

Inspire Me Forward, Episode #31, The Support We Offer our Dogs with Alyssa Giles from Utah, USA. What ana fascinating conversation we had.
Alyssa and I delved into a discussion about our beloved family members, our dogs. We spoke about Affective Behaviour and Affective Dog Behaviour. We looked at the science behind our dog's emotions and how we can enhance our connection with them. We talked about what is behind that connection and how it builds on their feelings of safety, reduces their stress, and helps meet their needs. So much wisdom, and science in Alyssa's repertoire. As is so important in that relationship, we touched on us, the humans who so love their dogs. What we can learn from being there for our dogs and supporting them better.
Thank you, Alyssa, for sharing your knowledge and your heart. Our beloved canine family members thank you.
Here are some of the folks and teachings We also talked we spoke of, as well as Alyssa's website.
