  • Get-To vs. Have-To [Ep. 26]
    2024/07/05

    On this episode we are talking about leveraging the strategy of get-to vs. have-to. When we talk about living a life full of real life positivity this quick tool is a game changer! Any time we catch ourselves saying "I have to do this." or "I have to do that.", we pause and ask a simple question, and that question has the power to change everything!! When we combine this intentionality with gratitude we can experience an authentically more positive life. We hope that you are pausing enough in your life to leverage this tool, and we hope that this conversation will inspire you to use the skill set of get-to to increase the want-to in your life.

  • Radical Kindness [Ep. 25]
    2023/01/21

    On this episode we are talking about living life with Radical Kindness. By definition, we are talking about an unusual way of being thoughtful and how starting with being kind to ourselves is the key to being radically, authentically kind. 

    There is no doubt that our lives, our homes, our schools, and our whole world benefits from kindness. It’s obvious, but how can we make it a natural part of our culture? 

    We’ve got some great strategies like discovery (asking good questions), Noticing (Noticing the goodness in ourselves and others), and proactively practicing confidence (individually and culturally) to help us live and lead in a radically kind way! 

    We celebrate you and your kindness!!! AND …We hope you’ll join our movement to choose to be radically kind to yourself and others.

  • We Are All Just Taller Middle Schools [Ep. 24]
    2022/10/18

    In this episode we are talking about finding our brave.  

    No matter our age, we all find ourselves dealing with the uncertainties of life from time to time. Whether it’s an unfamiliar social situation, applying for a new position, or needing to find a partner during a PD, we can all benefit greatly by having some positive strategies in place. 

    Middle School is such an amazing time of growth, and with rapid growth often comes the experience of growing pains. Here’s the thing though …  we don’t stop growing once we leave middle school.  Life is full of opportunities to stretch and grow, and live, and be the best versions of  ourselves. There are so many things that we can learn from the bravery of middle schoolers, and when we employ the same strategies that they are using to navigate life with positivity we get to experience the joy of living with confidence.

  • I Am Tired. [Ep. 23]
    2022/06/22

    On this episode of Real Life Positivity with Amy + Jaime we are talking about the power of positive I AMs.

    "I am tired." --  That is the number one response that we are hearing from people of all ages when we ask the question, "How are you?".

    We understand. The unpredictability of the past two years has left many of us with a sense of fatigue, but tired may not be the only answer to  that question. 

    When we are tired, fatigued, or experiencing negativity, it is so important that we have positive strategies and just as important that we  remember to choose to use them. 

    Our self-talk directly impacts our confidence and mental wellness, and it directly impacts those around us. 

    Positive I AMs are a critical part of the I AM Noticed Cycle because individual confidence leads to cultural confidence, and when we practice  positive I AMs, we get to choose how we answer the question "How are you?".

  • Belonging [Ep. 22]
    2022/03/25

    On this episode of Real Life Positivity with Amy + Jaime we are talking about belonging, and the value that having a sense of belonging can have  for us as individuals and as cultures.

    We have all felt it before - that feeling we get when we know we don't belong somewhere. It can feel unsettling and even unsafe.  From a  dinner party where you just don't feel like people want you to be there to a classroom or teachers' lounge where not everyone fits in, when we tap into the sense of not-belonging we can quickly realize the value that creating a culture of belonging has for the individuals and the culture as a whole.

    The perspectives, openness, and skill sets needed for creating a culture where a sense of belonging it "just the way it is" are directly tied to those we teach and practice with I AM Noticed.    Encouraging individual and cultural confidence and belonging goes hand in hand, and the value is exponential!

  • Mental Wellness [Ep. 20]
    2021/09/23

    On this episode of Real Life with Amy + Jaime we are unpacking the very important topic of mental wellness. In a way that is very true to the vibe and the practicality of these episodes, we are looking at how we  can apply positive strategies to proactively help ourselves and others create and maintain our positive mental wellness.  We hope to validate the place that each listener is at with their own mental wellness. Just like I AM Noticed is tier 1, for everyone, we want to invite everyone to this positive conversation. We also know that this conversation has prompted a great awareness for some that mental health support beyond these positive strategies is needed. If you or someone you know is looking for mental health supports we want to remind you that you are not alone. You can find many positive resources on our website, including a link to First Step 4 Help at  www.iamnoticed.org/resources We whole heartedly believe that everyone matters and that includes YOU! So thank you for being you!! We want you to feel encouraged to keep your own "oxygen" at a healthy level so that you can continue to live confidently and create positive ripples in the lives of those around you. ~Amy + Jaime

  • What is your Why? [Ep. 19]
    2021/07/08

    On this episode of Real Life Positivity, Amy & Jaime are talking about the value of authentically tapping into our whys. Knowing our why allows us to enjoy it even more when life is going well, and it makes it worth it when we are in challenging times. Like gratitude, this is a tool that can help us refuel and rekindle our want-to and help us show up as the best versions of ourselves no matter what the circumstances. With practical tools and intention, we can increase our individual confidence and, in turn, increase the confidence of the cultures we are a part of. Choosing to live this way creates so many positive ripples, and, as you can imagine, that is one of our biggest whys!
