Join Julie Riga as she sits down with Dr. Kimberly Linert, behavioral optometrist, author, mentor, and host of the Incredible Life Creator podcast, to explore how gratitude, expanded vision, and daily visualization can transform not just your mindset, but your entire approach to purpose-driven living, personal growth, and authentic leadership.
In This Episode:
✨ How a 1999 wake-up call led Kimberly to rearrange her work life around what matters most
✨ The difference between happiness and internal joy, and how to find peace moment by moment
✨ Why constant screen time narrows your vision and your choices, and how seeing the whole puzzle creates freedom
✨ How morning light and syntonic light therapy support healing, focus, and balance
✨ Why journaling by hand and two minutes of daily visualization help your goals expand
✨ How reinvention at any age can lead to five sweet romance novels in six months
✨ Julie plays two original songs, "Fall in Love with Your Life" and "There's a Light in You"
Key Takeaways:
📌 Gratitude is the starting point: find one small thing to be grateful for, then find the next
📌 When you can see the whole puzzle, you have choices, and choice creates freedom
📌 "Someday" never arrives unless you put it on the calendar
📌 Writing by hand and imagining what you want engages your brain and your imagination
📌 Focus on what you want instead of what you do not want
📌 Life is a sine wave, so stay as close to the center line as possible
📌 Find your gift, master it, and share your light, because everyone loses when you do not
