The Living Full Out show with Nancy Solari encourages you to think about the people or things that you are grateful for in your life. Perhaps you failed to obtain the dream job you were aiming for originally. It could be that you and your partner are in a fight. By remaining grateful for the positives in your life, you can overcome the obstacles you are faced with.

Our first caller, Joe, needs advice on types of activities to participate in during quarantine. Nancy reminds him of the importance of alternating between alone time and enjoying board games with others. She also recommended him to switch up the atmosphere in his house or apartment by opening a window or playing cards by candlelight. Tune in to hear how it is possible to enjoy life in a new way by looking at your situation in a different light.

Our inspirational guest, Kechi Okwuchi, is a Nigerian-born singer who lived through a plane crash on December 10, 2005. She was one of two survivors out of a total of 109 passengers. She suffered third degree burns over 65% of her body and had undergone multiple intensive surgical procedures in South Africa. Instead of succumbing to survivors’ guilt, Kechi decided to keep moving forward and honor the lives of those who passed away by continuing to work and accomplish her goals. She relied on her faith and family as a support system, and finished high school in America and went on to college. She later auditioned for America’s Got Talent and became a top 10 finalist. Listen in to hear how Kechi speaks about how she is thankful for the wonderful people who assisted her through her obstacles, making her a better person.

Our final caller, Parisha, needs recommendations on how to decline her mother’s cooking in favor of healthier options so she can lose weight. Nancy advises her to start slowly and ask her mother to make small changes to the meal, like leaving the salad dressing to the side. Another option Nancy suggested was preparing a separate meal from her family while still eating with them. By taking control of your physical wellness, you can live an active and joyful life.

Maybe your plans or goals for the future have changed unexpectedly. It could be that you were hoping to travel around the world but had to use the money you saved for an unplanned event. If we instead cherish the little moments with the people we love, it can be more priceless than any scheduled trip. By being grateful for the happiness found in everyday life, we can live full out.
