Before finding the sport of track and field, Sarah was cut from every high school team she tried out for. It was thanks to a teacher who suggested she try running - that teacher believed in her before Sarah ever did. Together that teacher and her became coach and athlete and made the Olympics together just a decade later. Beyond athletics, what Sarah is obsessed with is storytelling. Sarah wants to be able to tell the story of resilience and how you can truly make an impact in the world. She wants to inspire people to pursue excellence, and she understands that not everyone is going to have that high school teacher to believe in them, so she hopes to be that person for as many people as possible. After speaking all over North America to thousands of people, Sarah is encouraged to continue this work as she sees the impact it can make in schools and organizations. In this episode, Sarah talks about how she overcome setbacks in her athletic career and re-invented herself to pursue new and exciting goals in her life after sport.

LUYL 059: How to Balance Growth with Safety
Welcome to the Level Up Your Life podcast hosted by the awe-inspiring, motivating, and passionate Mark Black. As a double transplant survivor Mark has a very exclusive and different take on life. Mark is what all motivational speakers aspire to. He is kind, spirited, and animated with a pure and honest heart. When you listen to Mark speak you can’t help but become excited. Mark cares about helping you get to the next level in all areas of life, work, home, mental, physical and emotional.  In this episode, Mark discusses the covid-19 pandemic and how you can deal effectively with it and the challenges it has created. It is all too easy to become overwhelmed when things like this happen, but Mark will help you think through the challenges with a level head and calm heart. In this episode, we discuss how to strike a healthy balance between striving for continuous growth and improvement, with maintaining stability and safety, especially in challenging situations. In the episode we focus on three key strategies: Acceptance - It is impossible to move forward constructively until we are willing to face the current reality completely. Even if our current situation is difficult, even dire, until we face it head on, we have no hope of moving forward constructively. Adapt: New realities require new strategy and tactics. What worked before, may not work now. Goals you set previously may no longer be realistic, they may not even serve you anymore. Discover what works by being adaptable and trying new things. Thrive: Some people survive challenging times, others thrive through them. Without discounting very real constraints, the difference between these two groups is mostly their mindset. Do you choose to learn and make progress despite obstacles, or are you only in self-preservation mode?  JOIN OUR COMMUNITY on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/levelupimpact/ MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY:Are you ready to take your life ot the next level?

LUYL 058 - The New SEO You Need Right Now
Welcome to the Level Up Your Life podcast hosted by the awe-inspiring, motivating, and passionate Mark Black. As a double transplant survivor Mark has a very exclusive and different take on life. Mark is what all motivational speakers aspire to. He is kind, spirited, and animated with a pure and honest heart. When you listen to Mark speak you can’t help but become excited. Mark cares about helping you get to the next level in all areas of life, work, home, mental, physical and emotional.  In this episode, Mark discusses the covid-19 pandemic and how you can deal effectively with it and the challenges it has created. It is all too easy to become overwhelmed when things like this happen, but Mark will help you think through the challenges with a level head and calm heart. In this episode, we’re talking about a new kind of SEO. You may be familiar with with Search Engine Optimization, but today we’re talking about the SEO that will allow you to be your most effective during the covid-19 crisis: Sacrifice, Empathy, and Optimism. Sacrifice - While this word has taken on a lot of negative connotations in our convenience culture, sacrifice is really just giving up something for the sake of something else. When we make intentional sacrifice for something that is meaningful to us, not only is the sacrifice more meaningful, it is also easier to make. Can you re-frame the hardships you are enduring now, as sacrifices that are worth making for the sake of others? Empathy - One way to ensure that we know our sacrifice is meaningful, is to become more empathetic. While it is very easy to become selfish and self-focussed during times like these, if we become more empathetic, we will better connect with the pain that other are experiencing and be more willing to take action to help. Optimism - It is very easy to be negative right now. If you are struggling with depression and anxiety, please reach out for professional support. It is normal, and getting help can make a big difference. But if you are not clinically depressed, but just feeling down because of all of the negativity around you, take matters into your own hands. Nurture positivity. Fill your mind with information about what is going well right now. Seek out opportunities - they always exist in times of great change. We need optimistic people now more than ever before.  JOIN OUR COMMUNITY on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/levelupimpact/ MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY:Are you ready to take your life ot the next level?

LUYL 057 Do These 5 Things to Take Advantage of the Quarantine
Welcome to the Level Up Your Life podcast hosted by the awe-inspiring, motivating, and passionate Mark Black. As a double transplant survivor Mark has a very exclusive and different take on life. Mark is what all motivational speakers aspire to. He is kind, spirited, and animated with a pure and honest heart. When you listen to Mark speak you can’t help but become excited. Mark cares about helping you get to the next level in all areas of life, work, home, mental, physical and emotional.  In this episode, Mark discusses how to use the downtime that we have been given to prioritize the things that really matter so that we can come out of this hard time better than how we went into it. Time: You are always saying “there aren’t enough hours in the day”. We all struggle to find time to do everything we want to get done. For most of us, we now have time we never had before. How can you use this time well? Relationships: If you are stuck in the house with the people you care about most, you can drive each other crazy, or you can use the time to nurture relationships that you may have been neglecting. When else in your life will you have this much time to truly connect in meaningful ways with the most important people in your life? Goal-Time: What if you spent the next several weeks (or months) focussed on accomplishing one specific goal. We can accomplish much more in bursts of focussed time, than we ever could using an hour here and there. What goal could you work on in the next few weeks that would make you a better person after this is over?  Priorities It is very rare that we have an opportunity to take a step-back and evaluate what matters most to us and whether we are living our lives according to our values, but this is just such a time. Take some time our to think about what really matters most to you and whether or not you are happy with where your life is going. Health If you aren’t doing it already, now is THE TIME to prioritize your health. If you never have time to exercise, now you do. If you struggle to get enough sleep, use this time to catch up. If you typically depend on the drive thru and take out, start cooking REAL food. This is great time to make time for your health.   JOIN OUR COMMUNITY on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/levelupimpact/ MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY:Are you ready to take your life to the next level?

When your worries are vague and unnamed, you can’t hope to deal with them well. Rely on Habits and Routines Humans are creatures of habit. We need our routines to keep us focussed and on track. If you don’t have good habits and routines already, start to create and implement them now. They help relieve a lot of the unknowns in your life and give you a greater sense of direction and control. Diversion This isn’t about indulging in useless distraction or numbing out from reality, but rather using this tactic to break harmful habit loops.    Aim What do you want?

In this episode, Mark provides a 5 step framework for thinking through the challenges presented by covid-19 including:     Assessing the Reality With so many details and news stories, it can be a challenge to discern fact from fiction. You can’t deal with any problem effectively until you know exactly what you are dealing with. Getting an unbiased, objective assessment of the situation is critical. Accept what You Can’t Control In any situation, there are variables you control and those you don’t. It’s important to differentiate between the two and spend your valuable time and energy focused on the things you control.  Aim What do you want? Any goal is more easily achieved once you know specifically you want. Act Situations like this cause overwhelm and analysis paralysis. The best remedy is to get out of your head and simply take some action. Almost any action will do. What’s important is that you DO something.
