The Living Full Out Show with Nancy Solari wants to give you the tools to handle disappointment. Perhaps there was a time that you were frustrated when you were overlooked for a promotion or praise for your hard work. There may be times when you see co-workers or people to close to you succeeding where you are stalled. Instead of focusing on the achievements of others, you can take pride in what you do. By pressing forward with a clear goal in mind, you will gain purpose and be less distracted by others.

Our first caller is Sarah, who wants to communicate better at her job without coming off as aggressive. Nancy tells Sarah to keep in mind how the actions of her co-workers produce consequences. Sarah can reinforce the idea of camaraderie to provide motivation. By showing her colleagues how their output impacts the group, they can take strides towards making the team stronger. Through positive praise, Sarah can inspire her co-workers to earn good feedback.

Our second caller is Brooke, who wants to know how to balance school and personal time. Nancy reminds her that while pressure remains a part of life, Brooke can overcome it with passion. Visualizing her end goal can give Brooke purpose when stress gets overwhelming. By being intentional with self-care and personal time, Brooke will be better prepared to make an impact in her career choice down the road.

Our inspirational guest is Michael Montgomery. Michael struggled to get good grades in high school, so in junior college he shifted his strong work ethic in sports to academics. By actively seeking out a network, Michael found the support he needed to get into a division one school. However, when Michael collapsed during training, he discovered a rare heart condition that meant his football career was over. Instead of giving up his dream, Michael continued to play and make strides towards his goal. By staying resilient and keeping his struggle in perspective, Michael found success as an NFL Green Bay Packer.

Our final caller is Finn, who feels anxiety at work is getting in the way of his enjoyment. Nancy teaches Finn to ask his supervisors for advice on how to do his job better and show integrity. Finn can take any mistakes he makes and use them as opportunities to work harder and find ways to learn. By reminding himself that he was chosen for a reason, Finn can have renewed confidence.

Sometimes, a plan of yours may fall through, leading to discouragement. You may be too embarrassed or afraid of failure to try again. Creating realistic dreams that take into consideration the possibility of set backs can give you a positive perspective. By learning acceptance, you can avoid disappointment and live full out.
