On the last Monday Message for the season, Frantzces talks about what it means to live a life you love. What does that mean? It will mean different things to different people. But living a life you love means living a life on your terms. Living a life that mostly allows you to feel good. The reason most aren’t living a life they love or a life they are proud of is because somewhere they disconnected to what used to make them feel good. This can also mean, living a life that isn’t in alignment. Whether that’s professionally, in your relationships or even spiritually, the question is do you feel good most of the time or some of the time? So, listen as Frantzces explains why this matters.

On today's Monday Message Frantzces talks about anxiety. Many people suffer from anxiety, yet it's highly treatable. But, most people don't receive treatment for it. It's crippling and it hijacks your emotions and your inability to move forward in life. Anxiety comes up for you because you have difficulties remaining in the present. You have both feet planted in the future or the past. Or you may have one foot in the future and one foot in the past. This causes a lot of fear and worry. You are not your anxiety. You can overcome it. But you can't overcome it with medication alone. So, listen as Frantzces explains the different ways to tackle anxiety and why it matters. So tune in!

On today's Monday Message Frantzces talks about different lessons we can learn from the fall season. It's not just falling that can teach you a lesson its nature in general. Nature doesn't interrupt the inevitable which is change. Nature trusts the process. This is something you can learn and apply to your own lives. With fall comes many changes. From the colors to how dark it becomes. The sun doesn't show up or stick around the way it does during the summertime. But that's okay because by doing so it allows nature to do its thing.  So, listen as Frantzces explains how fall is a metaphor for our lives. So tune in! Would you like to continue the conversation?

On today's Monday Message Frantzces talks about the phrase "I can't." It's a phrase that the minute you say it you cut your human potential the same way you cut a tree. You don't know your fullest potential until you find yourself living outside of your comfort zone on a regular basis. And remember your words are powerful, so the more you say it the more it becomes part of your value system. A part of the way you make decisions. It becomes a way of life. You have to teach yourself to stop saying I can't. You have to practice it so instead, I can, becomes a part of who you are. So, listen as Frantzces explains the impact of that phrase on our lives.

  On today's Monday Message Frantzces talks about focusing on the big vision. Turn your focus around. It's necessary to focus on the big goal and the big mission. If you don't you find yourself wasting time. Some of you are juggling multiple things including multiple side hustles. But doing so is distracting you from your mission, from your big calling in life. If what you're doing isn't serving your bigger why then it's time to reevaluate.

It's okay to not be okay. Life comes in waves. Because of this, we must accept our down days as part of the experience of the living. We say we're fine when we're not. We say we'll be there when we really emotionally we can't. We don't have to be strong all of the time. We can take a moment to not be okay. In fact, it's necessary because lying to ourselves can only go so far. Use this episode as a friendly reminder, that it's okay to not be okay. So tune in! Would you like to continue the conversation?

There's this idea that being rejected by something or someone is a bad thing. In this Monday Message, Frantzces explores what this means. When we accept the story of rejection we create more suffering in our lives. It makes us feel unworthy when that indeed isn't the case. We often carry that story on with us for years to come when we're rejected. It goes as far as childhood and into adulthood. As a result, our relationships suffer and our purpose becomes mangled with despair. It's crucial to begin to reframe what this means for us in our lives. The sooner we accept the perspective that rejection is a gift, the quicker we can live beautiful and fulfilling lives. So tune in! Would you like to continue the conversation?

  When you're in a lot of pain it's kind of hard to think about how to transform it. Especially, if at first, you haven't accepted pain as part of the human experience. Pain is inevitable, however, suffering is optional, says the Buddhist quote. Suffering is the idea of prolonging a painful experience and holding on to it. But, by holding on to it for extended periods of time isn't useful. Elizabeth Gilbert says, "Never waste your suffering. If you don’t transform your pain, you’ve suffered for no reason." What does this mean? This quote encourages you to take a look at your pain through a different lens. A lens that helps you to manage and transform your pain in ways that are beneficial and useful. Pain is powerful because it creates wisdom and helps you to strengthen your resiliency. So as much as many of you want to eliminate it, that's not possible. As much as you want to ignore it, it'll still be felt. Knowing this to be the case, what are you going to do now? So tune in! Would you li

Toxic work environments are a real thing. Are you in a toxic relationship with your job? If you're at a job that's causing you chronic stress then it's time to decide whether this is something you can continue doing. Chronic stress in your life causes a whole host of mental and physical health issues. Stop working in environments that don't value you. Stop working in environments that you don't feel safe enough to speak up. Stop working in environments where there is no trust. Did you know that levels of depression and anxiety among people who are unhappy at work were the same or greater than those who were unemployed? "Those who feel they have more control, who feel empowered to make decisions instead of waiting for approval, suffer less stress. Those only doing as they are told always forced to follow the rules are the ones who suffer the most. Our feelings of control, stress, and our ability to perform at our best are all directly tied to how safe we feel in our organizations." Simon Sinek

Have you ever asked yourself why these obstacles and struggles are in your life? Do you feel singled out? Well, you’re not alone in this. Everyone deals with obstacles on a regular basis. However, not everyone knows how to approach obstacles effectively. It’s important for you to reprogram how you see the world. It’s important to examine your relationship with the world. If you find your framework riddled with negativity then, well, it’s difficult to find the opportunities in the struggle. But in this episode, Frantzces shares how there are opportunities in the struggle. She then provides three questions to ask yourself when you’re facing a challenge. So tune in!

Abby is the host of The Wanderlusters Mind. A podcast that interviews world travelers from around the world who are transitioning back to their home countries. Abby spent most of her life playing competitive sports. But, after a terrible sports injury, Abby had some time to think about her life. She was inspired to travel by a family member. After some thinking, she decided to buy a one-way ticket to Buenos Aires. When she was about to run out of moneyinstead of going home she applied for a visa to Canada. She ended up living there for three years. She's visited 30 plus countries since then. Abby says it's important to put yourself out there. By putting herself out there she was able to have many wonderful experiences with other travelers on her traveling journey. Upon returning home, she was unable to connect with friends. There is such a thing as reverse culture shock! But, she didn't want to return to the 9-5 and people couldn't understand that. Abby wanted to create a lifestyle that she loved. Now as a l

Have you thought about the programming that’s in your mind? You’re either programming your mind or being programmed. This matters because much of what you learned was given to you or fed to you. Either by your caregivers, by TV, and even by social media. It is up to you to question the programming that’s running through your head. This means finding material and information to replace the old programming. How do you do that? By filtering the information and messages that you receive. By creating an environment so the unhelpful programming doesn’t seep into your mind. When Frantzces went on this personal development journey 7 years ago, she accumulated a lot of audio, videos and books that changed her life. Would you like the list?

What is the tomato story? Well, first, do you have a scarcity or an abundance mindset? How do you know the difference?  The scarcity mindset believes, “There will never be enough.” Whereas, the abundance mindset believes, “There will always be more.” The idea that there isn’t enough isn’t true. It’s a story that you told yourself that keeps you in either scarcity or abundance mindset.  Exploring which mindset you are is important because what you think holds power in your mind, which translate to your words and in the end your behaviors. These mindsets will dictate the life you would like to live. Most of the time these ideas come from old stories that you’ve learned growing up as a child. You’ve continued the narrative but in your own way.  In this episode, she shares how tomatoes can show us enough is enough.  So tune in! Would you like to continue the conversation?

It’s been a whole year since Chronicles Abroad launched the Monday Message. It was an idea that Frantzces sat on for a few months, but with the encouragement of her co-host Nubia, she launched the Monday Message. The messages shared over the year were things Frantzces either personally experienced, things that she was currently dealing with or conversations she had with people. It’s clear that everyone isn’t that different from each other. No matter where everyone is along their journey, there are still struggles and things that have to be overcome so everyone can live a life they love.  In this episode, she shares the three goals of the Monday Message. And how absorbing information like this will help you as you continue to make positive changes in your life.  So tune in! Would you like to continue the conversation?

Kenya says travel has been very introspective for her. She isn’t new to living and traveling abroad. Kenya has been to 30 countries thus far. She first moved abroad to teach ESL in South Korea in 2013. Then she taught in Saudi Arabia. The teaching job in Saudi Arabia went sour after a teaching agency pulled the rug underneath her. But she tried to make a difficult situation into a more positive one. Now Kenya, is 100% remote, working as a content writer and an online ESL teacher while living in Colombia.

She’s learned to be okay with herself and by herself. “Solo travel is hella introspective.” She says. In this episode you’ll be inspired by the following: 1. Even when things don’t go your way and you don’t get what you want, just go with it. 2. Make a plan and just try it out. 3. You always have options. Want to see keep up with Kenya? Check

This is a mid-year check-in. Can you believe that we’re half way through the year? Where are you along your journey? Some of you had set out to achieve certain goals for the year and some of you may have achieved those goals. But for some of you, who are still having a hard time figuring things out, it’s not too late. Each day is a new day to start again anew. Start where you are, no matter what.  A mid-year check-in is a great way to reflect on where you’ve been and where you’re going. Frantzces provides a step by step process to work through what is getting in the way of you doing the things you had set out to do. Is it the goal or the mindset that needs adjustment? Without checking in with yourself, it’s kind of hard to know. So tune in! Would you like to continue the conversation?
