Tuck Talk

The celebration continues! On this special episode, we have your Top 10 Favorite moments from our first year. Thank you for listening!

Who is this Rebel Belle?

Tuck Self is a "personal  growth enthusiast" and catalyst with a passion for squeezing as much  juice and joy out of life as possible. As a southern woman, she was raised  to do what is "appropriate" making everyone else around her comfortable,  even at the expense of her own happiness. Her journey has been one of  finding and reclaiming her voice and boldly expressing that to the world.  Her passio...

‘There’s  party going on around here. Celebrating Tuck Talk for 52 weeks this  year. We’ve had some good times, with some laughter too. It’s sure been  fun sharing wisdom with you. Come on now. CELEBRATION! It’s time to  celebrate and have a good time!’

Happy Birthday and CONGRATULATIONS to Tuck Talk Podcast for One-Full-Year in the Playing! How  fun has this been?! I’m grateful for your listening. I’m grateful for  your allowing me to share my love of life experiences, my love for song  and dance, as well as my favorite poems, quotes and new words.

‘God  is the ocean of Spirit; we are like waves that rise and fall on the  ocean's surface. To one involved in the drama of relative life, who is  attached to success and fearful of failure, attached to good health and  fearful of illness, attached to physical existence and fearful of death,  human experiences appear to be the only reality. To one who is  established in nonattachment, everything is perceived as God’. ~  Paramahansa Yogananda

Freedom,  Fun, Spiritual Community, Connection, Contribution and Flow. THESE are  the feeling experiences of life that bring me present to the moment. In  these moments...

‘Ending  hunger and war in the world is easier than you might think. Walking  your path without fear-this is the more challenging task.’ ~ Spotted  Eagle

Human  beings are instinctively and intuitively designed to navigate fears of  survival, safety, value and security. These fears are natural. They are  also necessary. They build our intelligence, and they actually alert us  to the dangers ‘out there’. Now, our fears also influence us ‘to think’.  To think that we need to know, be certain, safe and secure about our  lives and futures.

The  truth is, we’ve been conditioned and encouraged from birt...

‘If you own this story you get to write the ending.’ ~ Brene Brown

If  YOU were listening to you, if you were listening to the story of your  life, what happens during your day, the current state of your job,  relationships as well as your health, would you listen to you? And, how  would you listen to you? If ALL of what you were saying to describe your  life was a book, the latest and greatest book on the best seller list  that you had picked up to read, would you keep reading? Would you love  it? Or, would y...

‘God  help you if you are a phoenix and dare to rise up from the ash; a  thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy as you are just flying past.’ ~  Ani DiFranco

OMG’D!  I LOVE this quote. It reminds me of my life. LOL How come I say this?  For most of my life I’ve lived large and passionately, creating fun,  fulfilling and thriving relationships, careers and experiences, only to  ‘phoenix’ them, rebirth and re-invent myself and move on. Frequently  folks would say, ‘What is it Tuck that has you not able to stay with  one relationship, one caree...

Are  you doing what you love and loving what you do? Are your relationships  empowering? Is your heart open to life, love and work? Are you squeezing  every little ounce of joy possible during your precious time here on  earth?

If  your answer is a resounding YES, I’m excited for you! CONGRATULATIONS!  If not, it’s an easy-peasy fix. You simply have a glitch somewhere in  your life, and have NOT given yourself FULL permission to be the DASHING  person that you are. Your ‘Dash’ is your mark on life, the time between  when you got here and when you...

‘You are here to bring light, bringing out the God-colors in the world’ ~ Matthew 5:14 The Message

OMG’D!  I’m inspired to share another new word. This one I didn’t make up.  However, I love it just the same - it inspires me!! The word?  INSPIREMENT!!

INSPIREMENT  is the act of becoming motivated, encouraged, and ENTHUSED to the point  of making a significant change or difference. It’s being moved by  spirit, the breath of life, and the divine power that inspires change.  It’s making the world a brighter place for yourself and others.

'Could  you imagine what a wonderful world it would be, if you listened to you  and I listened to me? Could you see how strong we each would become, if  once we did listen, then we became one? Would you stand at the gate of  heaven and say, ‘each day I listened to what God put in my way’. For  when I listen to me, and you listen to you, we’re able to hear what God  meant us to do.' ~ Vaun Gramotovich

OMG’D, I LOVE this poem. Powerful. It’s called , ‘Imagine Listening with Love’.  I’m reminde...

There is nothing but love, all else is an illusion.’ ~ John F. Demartini

One  of my favorite topics as a Math Major and Physics Minor is Quantum  Physics, and specifically a concept called Full Quantum. What is Full  Quantum? Full Quantum is light! Full Quantum is LOVE. It’s  enlightenment….

Here’s  a li’l Quantum Physics for ya…. All atoms, matter AND the experiences  of your life come Full Quantum. They come fully charged with two  opposing forces. There is a positive charge referred to as a positron,  and a negative charge referred to as a neutron. When t...

‘Reality is the output of your mind. Actuality is what is going on in the world.’

Did  you know that your reality is between your ears? It’s what goes on in  your mind? It’s the thoughts that you think as well as everything you  remember from your lifetime of experiences. It’s what you have the mind  energy and brain cells to see. Your mind thinks and responds to what’s  you’ve programmed into it. And, what’s programmed into your mind, what’s  between your ears then outputs your mind. It creates the experience of  your life...

‘Home is where your mom is.’ ~ Unknown

OMG’D! I have another new word to share. It’s AFFIR-QUESTION! What’s an Affir-Question? Thanks for asking the question!

An Affir-Question is a powerful and affirming question that changes your focus, feeling and ultimately your future - your reality!

So what do I mean by a ‘powerful and affirming’ question? Again - thank you for asking. However, allow me to ask you one - ‘What will be possible for your life, love and career, once YOU listen to the Tuck Talk Podcast this week?’

Now, THAT my friends is a powerful and affirming Affir...

‘There is nothing absent or (lacking); everything is present, already in potential.’

~ Lopon Tendzen Namdak

Did  you know that nothing is missing from your life? You might think that  what you want is missing, however it is not! Anything and everything  that you could ever possibly desire and imagine is waiting and available  for your receiving and experiencing. Sobering thought, yes?!?

Here’s a li’l Rebel Belle Truth (AND Universal Truth): Creation  has been created. Energy IS. Energy is not created or destroyed. It  simply changes form - it transforms. So, any reality that yo...

Reality is only as valid as it’s last observation.’ ~ Larry Farwell, Harvard-trained physicist

Do  you wake up with the assumption that your coffee maker or tea pot is on  the counter to the left of your refrigerator where it is every morning  when you unconsciously drag yourself there to sip yourself awake? Are  you comfortable knowing that as you arrive home after work your garage  is where you left it so that your car is once again safe overnight?

While  it is important that we are able to depend on the familiar in our  lives, it i...

‘Life  is hard. And life is wonderful. “The Invitation” is about finding what  we need - the inspiration, the intimacy, the courage and the commitment  to live fully, every day.’

~ Oriah Mountain Dreamer.

Thank  you Oriah Mountain Dreamer and YES, we are living in a time of great  challenge AND we are living a time of great change - great possibility.  Our world is presenting us with opportunities to be ‘opened by life’s betrayals OR to become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain’. These  are the words of Oriah Mountain Dreamer in her poem, ‘The Invitati...

‘People  come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you  figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do for each person.’ ~  Traci Smith

Do  you have the experience that people do indeed come into your life for a  reason, season and/or a lifetime? I do. It’s fascinating. I LOVE  reflecting on the relationships of my life, past and present. I feel  deep gratitude for their presence as well as lessons gleaned from the  friendship, and times shared. Simply and profoundly precious!

How about you? Have people entered...

‘No  one can teach you how to love yourself. This is the work of each  individual soul. You demonstrate love by giving it unconditionally to  yourself.’ ~ Paul Ferrini

That’s the Healing Power of Love! Recently I was invited to speak at a beautiful Non-profit organization called www.loveisinfinite.org about The Power of Self-Love. What I shared initially is this. ‘Love is not what you do. Love is who you are’. Also, that SELF-LOVE is our key to happiness, wholeness and well-being.

Now, for most of my life I was told to ‘love myself’ and ‘to be the love t...

‘A  single word has the power to influence the expression of genes that  regulate physical and emotional stress’. ~ Andrew Newberg, M.D.,  Neuroscientist

‘I feel good. I feel fine. I feel this way all the time. I’m alive. I’m awake, and I feel great!!

Today is your lucky day! As many of you know (some of you don’t know) I’m a passionate advocate of The Human Energy Design System, and also the body of work brought forth by Richard Rudd in The Gene Keys, and The Golden Pathway.

‘When I’m inspired, I get excited, because I can’t wait to see what I’ll come up with next.’ ~ Dolly Parton

I  have another NEW WORD you all. It’s AFFIRM-I-TUDE! So what’s an  affirm-i-tude? An affirm-i-tude is the synthesis of two words, ‘affirmation’ and ‘gratitude’. So an affirm-i-tude is an affirmation that is affirmed and spoken with an attitude of gratitude.

Why  an attitude of gratitude? Why the frig’ not?! In my world an attitude  of gratitude feels good. It creates positive emotion and vibration. It  feels true (unless it doesn’t!). So, what does positive emot...

‘We have two ears and one mouth so that we can LISTEN twice as much as we speak.’

~ Epictetus

“Listening  is the single most important component in communication that you and I  do. Yet, LISTENING is the least practiced component in communication.  The rarest component in communication is Empowered Mindful Listening™.”

Empowered  Mindful Listening™ is the ability to listen with all four quadrants of  oneself. The four quadrants are the mental quadrant, the physical  quadrant, the emotional quadrant and the spiritual (intuitive)  quadrant.

Imagine  the possibilities when one is present and communicating with a...

“If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.” ~ Thomas A. Edison

I’m in the mood to astound myself!! How about you? Are you a ‘Possibility Thinker’?

If  you are asking what IS a possibility thinker, I’d love to share. A  possibility thinker is someone who believes the impossible is possible.  They walk by faith and not by sight. They creatively ask themselves, how  may I make this happen - make the impossible possible!

‘When I’m inspired, I get excited because I can’t wait to see wha...

‘Love is not what you do. LOVE is Who You Are’ ~ Glenda Green, Love Without End.

Happy Heart Day on Sunday! This being Valentine’s Day celebration week, I had the idea to inspire contemplation around the theme of LOVE.What  is love? Is it a feeling? Is it a longing to connect with another  individual? Is it an emotion that draws you to another or it is  something you seek within yourself?

However  you define it, LOVE is connecting. It is connecting with yourself and,  it is also connecting with another. It’s connecting in a way that...

‘Truth is so rare, that it is delightful to tell it.’ ~ Emily Dickenson

Today, I’m telling it! One of my favorite hobbies and past times, and actually my 2ndcareer  path has been personal growth and empowerment. Nothing blows my skirt  up more than to bask in the energies of a teacher, coach or mentor who  expands my capacity, and unleashes my next level of growth and  evolution. My journey over the past 2 decades in self-discovery has  taken me across the globe to meet many of the greatest minds on our  planet.

Boldly  sharing their voices these...

Is  this how you were raised? Were you encouraged to be your authentic  playful self, doing what you love to do for the sheer exuberance of  life? That  certainly was not how I was raised. That was not my conditioning. I was  encouraged to be proper, appropriate, and social, as well as  achievement oriented and obedient to the societal structures of what  defines worthiness. I was inspired to make my presence known however it  was not for the sheer freedom and liberation that it brings, it was to  prove my worth not only to myself, but to others as well. Now...

“The  joy of Being, which is the only true happiness, cannot come to you  through any form, possession, achievement, person, or event - through  anything that happens. THAT joy cannot come to you - ever, it  emanates from the formless dimension within you, from consciousness  itself and thus is one with who you are.” ~ Echkart Tolle – A New Earth

I  am joy. I am happiness. I am. Joy and happiness is who I am. It’s what I  am right now. VERSUS, proclaiming and waiting for some far-off, longed  over, pined for future goal that can only be obtained when I...

‘Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.’ ~ Roald Dahl

According to the Solar Calendar Year in The Human Energy Design System, January 21st is the 1st day of the New Solar Year.

So, almost Happy New Year you all!! I  personally find this to be an exciting opportunity for a fresh start. I  actually find myself exhausted already from the energy wave of New Year  proclamations and resolutions.

So, I have a question to pose and send your way……What would happen if you DIDN’T set goals, intentions and resolutions f...

‘The better it gets. The better it gets.’ ~ Abraham Hicks

Happy  New Year You All! I LOVE this time of year. I’m always excited to begin  a new year, to start over, to hit the re-set button and re-create  mySELF all over again. I really do believe Abraham’s quote: ‘The better it gets, the better it gets!!’ I’ll translate that to, ‘the better I get, the better I get!’LOL

I  LOVE the possibilities that come with each new year for growth,  evolution and expansion. It gobsmacks me actually! Generally I begin  each year poised on the e...

“Sometimes, you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead.” ~ Yvonne Woon, Dead Beautiful

OMG’D you all….2020 is almost over! Twelve months have passed us by! Where did this year go!!

It  seems like yesterday I was reflecting on the past decade, and excitedly  looking forward to ‘2020 vision’ in the new year, and BAM! This year  has come and gone. It’s been quite the year with the pandemic, schools  and businesses closing, and people doing their best to stay calm amidst  the storm.

In  a year that’s been filled wi...

To  all of my LISTENERS both near and afar, I’m casting my WISH for you,  upon the brightest of stars. That YOU will receive in this new 2021  year, boatloads of Love, Prosperity and Abundance– and – without any fear.

With Passion, Purpose and a whole lot of Play, I invite you to wake up to a brand NEW DREAM, each and every day!

Join  me for a short, lively and poetic Tuck Talk Podcast today. Thank you  for your listening. I wish you a Merry, Merry Holiday!!!

Tuck Self is...

Do you know your friend the Matrix? Do you even know what your Matrix is?

Your  Matrix consists LITERALLY of the entire contents of your Mind. Your  Matrix is constructed from ALL of the thoughts that have tricked through  your Mind your entire life-time. This is your Matrix - the Matrix of  your thought-forms…and… your Matrix creates your literal agreement with  the Universe as to what you reality will be. Your Matrix becomes your  perceptive filter for what you will allow into your reality (or not)!

So here’s a powerful question for you; What’s in you...

‘Deep  within you is the voice of your eternal Self saying, ‘Remember me? I am  the Source (and voice) of all you need.’ ~ Sandra Anne Taylor

I was told to sit down, be still and be quiet WAY too much of my life.  This did NOT jive with who I internally knew myself to be. So what did I  do? I squashed my voice. I played myself small. I was little, and I  tried desperately NOT to be loud. That was until I Unleashed My Voice!  

Join me today on Tuck Talk for a fun, inspiring an...

O.M.G. - ‘Oh my God!’ Have you ever wondered what this abbreviation and expression means? According to Louis Schwartzberg it means the following:

‘Oh’ means something caught your attention, makes you present, makes you mindful.

‘My’ means it connects with something deep inside your soul.

‘God’ is that personal journey we all want to be on to be inspired and connected in a way that celebrates life.

O.M.G.  may be in response to the beauty and seduction of nature, the innocence  of a new-born baby, the friskiness of a dog or a connecti...

“Owning your story is the bravest thing you’ll ever do.” ~ Brene Brown

Do  you know who you are? Do you know what you want? If someone asked you  what was really important to you, what would you say? Would you answer  from years of conditioning about who you ought to be, what you ought to  have and what you should be doing? Or, would you answer like a free bird  who has spread her wings and given herself permission to soar?

Join me today as I share my S.T.O.R.Y. on my Tuck Tal...

When was the last time you FULLY let go into the laughter of your soul? You  know the kind of laughter I’m talking about; where you tap deeply into  the belly laughing so hard and loud that your sides ache and your cheeks  get sore from smiling? Did you  know that many of the most authentic moments of your life are when you are laughing? 

This  week on my Tuck Talk Podcast, I’m spreading a little love, light and  laughter. Most of the authentic moments of my life include the  experience of laughter where I have released...

Are  you living as the unique, powerful and magical being you are born to  be? Are you shining your star so brightly that others are unable to  handle your glare? 

Given  you are, YAY YOU!! I’m giving you a Rebel Belle Yell! If not, I invite  you into a world of freedom and liberation fully celebrating the  uniqueness of who you are, as well as the gifts, skills and talents you  are here to share.

Join our Tuck Talk Podcast today, as we remind you... You are born a star. It’s your time to shine.

Did you know that you are a born GENIUS? That EVERYONE is born a genius? That  GENIUS refers to an overseeing spirit or guardian that watches over you  from birth, and that this spirit guides and governs your life? Your  Genius refers to your wit, talent and prophetic skill innate in your  nature that carries a generative power.

What if you had access to this power, genius and talent? Would it change your life? It  did mine!! Join me today for our Tuck Talk Podcast as I share my 3  Epipha-gasms for being your Power, living your Genius & creating...

I  remember the day as if it were yesterday, I was running through my  daily goodwife and Mom routines, and suddenly I came to a screeching  halt. I remember looking at my life, all of it – how I dressed, how I  decorated my house, where I worked, how I lived, how I raised my kids – I  came to a screeching halt, and I said to myself:

"Oh My God - I’ve finally become my mother!"

In  that ONE present moment I came to the gobsmacking realization that I  had finally become my mother. Or, had I? Join t...

My  name is Tuck Self and I have a confession to share. I’m a Quota-holic! I  love, love, love quotes. I love that they inspire me, expand my  ‘thinking’ and motivate me to greatness. I also love the ones that make  me Laugh Out Loud.

Tuck Pan’s  story is one of belief and trust in her dreams, and the power of spirit  to soar. From an early age, Tuck Pan wanted to take flight, however  someone clipped her wings. She bought into a belief system of the world  around her and was grounded…. but only for a moment…… listen in... Be sure and join me on my Tuck Talk Podcast today for the Tale of Tuck Pan.
