Love Your Story: Stories and discussions about personal growth, mindset and living with intention

Written by: Lori Lee
  • Summary

  • Love Your Story is a podcast about the power of our personal story, how we can use our stories to empower us, take the prerogative to reframe the stories that hold us back, all while celebrating the unique heroic journey we each take. I interview people who have experienced deep difficulty and Olympic-style accomplishment so we can hear their stories and see how to walk those paths. We talk about techniques for changing the stories that keep us small, we celebrate true life stories, and we empower ourselves to live with intention. Story is a powerful tool, and when you know how to use it on purpose you become powerful.

    Episode 269: Quick Chat - Consciously Creating a Meaningful Life with Cortney McDermott


    Welcome to the Love Your Story Podcast. I’m your host Lori Lee and you’re here today for a Quick Chat. That’s one great inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less.

    Today’s show is about this thing Corney calls Dimensions of Design. In a nutshell. Today’s quick chat is on manifesting. Stay tuned for our quickie discussion with Corney McDermott, Author of Give Yourself Permisson, as we explore the ideas behind manifesting.

    Do you know how to manifest? Are you really good at it? I’m trying to understand it better, so if you’re with me, tune in.

    Cortney and I look at:

    1. What Cortney has noticed about people not knowing what they want.
    2. This is to help people ask the right questions about what they want.
    3. Model includes distraction, delusion, demand, and design.
    4. Focus on the things you know are important to you, but that you don't have to do right now. When you focus on those things it clears out all the things that don't matter.
    5. Ask yourself this question: What are you putting off that you know you need to do?
    6. Focus on the really important things, let the less important things go and lots of time gets freed up.
    7. Designing your life by prioritizing this dimension makes time expand.
    8. We mold our lives from the inside with the decisions we make about our time.
    9. We talk about manifesting and how our attention is key to what we manifest.
    10. Allowing our attention to be fragmented slows down what we manifest.
    11. How much attention are you giving to guiding your thoughts and surroundings toward that vision?

  • Episode 268: What is Success? Interview John Ply

    Episode 268: What is Success? Interview John Ply

    Welcome to the Love Your Story podcast. John Ply is a successful business man who started his own company - twice - and made millions. His father - Ziggy - was a Polish immigrant who was captured by the Germans in WWII and survived the horrors of a POW camp and then moved to America with nothing but the clothes on his back.

    Both men personify different types of success, and on today’s show John Ply joins me to share stories and lessons learned from both lives.

    Stay tuned as we talk about stories of his father turning in a lost $20 bill when it would have paid his mortgage for a month, or when he refused to shoot a woman the Germans in the POW camp demanded he kill or be killed.

    John Ply has taken the stories of his father and the things he learned from him and written a book about both of their lives. The book is called YOU CAN BE THE BEST.

    Today John is here with me and we are going to share stories and some beautiful ideas for successful living.

    Tune into the audio to hear our conversation with topics like:

    A. Tell us all about you - your story - Let me give you a jumping off point: In one of the first chapters of the book you have a section entitled “You never know where becoming the best is going to take you.”

    I love this idea of doing the best you can do at anything you try and stirring that in with the magic of the unknown - how that translates into opportunity. So lets start in the summer after 8th grade….


    B. Let’s talk about “Being the Best You.”

    I loved how you said, “Be the best “you” and everything else tends to take care of itself.”


    C. There are so many culturally dictated ideas of success. Let’s talk about a couple different things here:


    1. Our own individual definitions of success

    2. What your definition of success is.

    3. What did you learn about success from Ziggy?


    D. Ziggy - Your favorite stories about him and what he taught you.


    E. You have a concept called “The Clubs of Success” Will you run through those for us?

    • Amazon: https://geni.us/youcanbethebest


    In his book John says, “ America has been called the land of opportunity, but the thing about opportunity is that it comes down to choices. My father eded up having an incredible life in America because he built that life.”


    There are so many powerful concepts in the book, and I’ll just end with this one: Ziggy came with nothing but a lot of trauma, a great work ethic, and a sense of morals and ethics. Despite having come from undoubtedly experiencing horrors in that war and POW camp he made choice after choice to keep a good attitude, to work hard, to take...

    267: Quick Chat - How to Transform Your Perception of Wealth with Cortney McDermott


    Welcome to the Love Your Story Podcast - Quick Chat: That’s one great inspirational idea in 15 minutes or less. I’m your host Lori Lee. Today’s show is about how to transform your perception of money and wealth and our quickie discussion is with Corney McDermott, author of Give Yourself Permission.

    We explore the idea of shifting the way you think about something as crucial as money, for a different more abundant mindset.

    Join the audio program to hear me and my co-host Cortney McDermott:

    Mindset is everything and a right mindset about wealth - creating it with intentions - is a key to survival and living big. This is part of creating the life we want on purpose.

    We’re talking about money and wealth today for 3 reasons - 1 - it was one of the top content topics on the show for 2023 so I know the audience has an interest. Who doesn’t want to learn how to live more abundantly? 2 - I think the right mindset to something as important as wealth is key to achieving it… what story are we telling ourselves about money and 3 - the ideas we’ll discuss around this concept are really beneficial to simply living well - which you’ll see as Corney gives us a quick run down.

    Cortney, In your book there is a chapter called “Make a lot of Money.” In that chapter you have 5 principles you say are related to wealth accumulation. Let’s talk about those.


    Tune in to hear the principles...


    We talk about

    *Where love is Money is.

    *Gratitude is the foundation of wealth

    *Wealth is inside work

    and much more...
