Embracing What Makes You Different | Kym Gordon Moore
<p>Are you different? Or simply finding your purpose?In this inspiring episode of The Life of Try, host Wynne Leon talks with author and educational advocate Kym Gordon Moore about her children’s book, Hennie and Her Poetry Eggs, a powerful story about courage, compassion, bullying prevention, purpose, and embracing what makes us different. Through the story of Hennie, Kym invites children, parents, teachers, and adults to have meaningful conversations about social rejection, self-worth, empathy, literacy, and building bridges for people who may feel left out. This conversation explores why standing out can feel vulnerable, how support from others helps us recognize our gifts, and why trying again after disappointment is part of growing into our purpose. Here are key take-aways for this episode: → Our differences are often where our purpose begins. Kym’s story reminds listeners that what makes us stand out may feel uncomfortable at first, but it can also become the source of our greatest gifts. → Kids absorb the language and attitudes around them. The episode highlights how adult fear, division, and intolerance can spill over into children’s behavior—making conversations about compassion, empathy, and bullying especially important. → Bullying and social rejection can hide someone’s gifts. Hennie’s journey shows how shame and exclusion can make a person feel small, but encouragement from others can help them see themselves differently. → We all need bridge-builders. One of the strongest themes is the idea of building bridges for people who feel like they are facing a ditch—offering support, kindness, and a way forward. → Purpose is personal; we can’t borrow someone else’s vision. Kym emphasizes that each person has their own dream, voice, and path, and trying to copy someone else can keep us from discovering what is truly ours.If you’re looking for encouragement, personal growth, children’s literature with a message, or a hopeful conversation about kindness and resilience, this episode offers a beautiful reminder that our differences can become the very thing that helps us shine.🔔 Subscribe for more:Subscribe to The Life of Try for more conversations on:personal growth, creativity, reinvention, resilience, writing, and mindset.📌 Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel & Stay Updated: → https://www.youtube.com/@thelifeoftry?sub_confirmation=1ABOUT MEHi, I’m Wynne Leon — host of The Life of Try, a personal growth and self-improvement podcast exploring resilience, reinvention, uncertainty, and the courage to keep trying.Through thoughtful interviews, reflective conversations, and real-life stories, I share insights to help you navigate change, get unstuck, and move forward with more intention.🌍 Website: https://wynneleon.comBook: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hennie-Her-Poetry-Eggs-Courage-ebook/dp/B0GZYK6TR8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Hennie and Her Poetry Eggs</a>🎥 Watch Next➡️ <a href="https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/RNuPDk0kh3b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">How to Reclaim Fun in Adult Life | Burnout Recovery, Joy & Resilience with Mike Rucker</a>➡️ <a href="https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/xFAeAiJjt3b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">How to Celebrate Small Wins | Tiny Habits, Resilience and Personal Growth</a>➡️ Fun: The Key to Habit Formation<a href="https://youtu.be/37ICdxs3168" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtu.be/37ICdxs3168</a>🔗 CONNECT WITH ME:• Website:→ https://wynneleon.com/• Instagram:→ https://www.instagram.com/wynneleon/• Facebook:→ https://www.facebook.com/wynne.leon/ • Amazon: → https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B002IKWX14</p>

Motive + Means = Opportunity: A Life of Try Story
<p>Are you waiting for easy? Here's a formula to get you moving!</p><p>In this episode of The Life of Try, Wynne Leon shares a personal story about turning a long-held dream of visiting friends in France into a real-life adventure through courage, creativity, and community support. What began as an expensive and seemingly impossible trip became an opportunity to rent out her home, ask for help, and take the next step before the whole path was clear.</p><p>This motivational personal growth episode explores what it means to stop waiting for perfect timing, listen to the quiet tug of what matters, and move forward even when life feels uncertain. Through stories about Airbnb, travel logistics, helpful neighbors, pet care, and unexpected solutions, Wynne reflects on the powerful formula: Motive + Means = Opportunity. </p><p>Listeners will come away with memorable takeaways about taking the first step, paying attention to the sparks around them, saying their dreams out loud, accepting support, and trusting that the path often appears one step at a time. </p><p>Key take-aways for this episode: </p><p>→ Don’t wait for easy—move because it matters. The right time may never arrive, but meaningful goals often begin with one brave first step. </p><p>→ Pay attention to the sparks. A casual comment, a book passage, a flyer, or someone else’s story can become part of the solution once you start moving. </p><p>→ Say the dream out loud. People can’t support a goal they don’t know about, so communicate what you’re trying to do and be willing to accept help. </p><p> → Use the formula: Motive + Means = Opportunity. When your why meets the resources, people, and ideas already around you, new possibilities begin to unfold. </p><p>→ Take the next step, not the whole staircase. You don’t need to solve every problem in advance; you only need to meet the next real step in front of you. </p><p>If you’re looking for encouragement to get unstuck, try something new, pursue a meaningful goal, or find courage in the messy middle, this episode offers inspiration, practical wisdom, and a reminder that you don’t need to see the whole staircase to begin.</p><p>🔔 Subscribe for more: Subscribe to The Life of Try for more conversations on: personal growth, creativity, reinvention, resilience, writing, and mindset.</p><p>📌 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thelifeoftry?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Subscribe To Our YouTube Channel & Stay Updated</a></p><p>ABOUT ME</p><p>Hi, I’m Wynne Leon — host of The Life of Try, a personal growth and self-improvement podcast exploring resilience, reinvention, uncertainty, and the courage to keep trying.</p><p>Through thoughtful interviews, reflective conversations, and real-life stories, I share insights to help you navigate change, get unstuck, and move forward with more intention.</p><p>🌍 Website: https://wynneleon.com━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</p><p>🎥 Watch Next</p><p>➡️<a href="https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/RNuPDk0kh3b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> How to Reclaim Fun in Adult Life | Burnout Recovery, Joy & Resilience with Mike Rucker</a></p><p>➡️ <a href="https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/xFAeAiJjt3b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">How to Celebrate Small Wins | Tiny Habits, Resilience and Personal Growth</a></p><p>➡️<a href="https://youtu.be/37ICdxs3168" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> Fun: The Key to Habit Formation</a></p><p>🔗 CONNECT WITH ME:</p><p>• Website:→ https://wynneleon.com/</p><p>• Instagram:→ https://www.instagram.com/wynneleon/</p><p>• Facebook:→ https://www.facebook.com/wynne.leon/ </p><p></p>

<p>What does it means to keep showing up when life asks more of you than seems possible?</p><p>In this episode of The Life of Try, Wynne Leon talks with Kathryn M. B. Johnson, author of Invisible, Until I’m Not, a memoir-in-essays about chronic illness, caregiving, grief, and resilience. Together, they explore what it means to live with fibromyalgia and invisible illness, how caregiving reshapes identity, and why being seen matters so deeply when pain is hard to explain. </p><p>This conversation offers honest insight, emotional validation, and hope for anyone navigating chronic pain, caregiver burnout, loss, or the daily work of endurance. </p><p>If you’re looking for a thoughtful podcast episode about chronic illness, caregiving, trauma, faith, and finding strength in difficult seasons, this episode is for you.</p><p>In this episode, we discuss: </p><p> → Chronic illness can reshape identity, relationships, and daily life in ways that are often invisible to others. </p><p>→ Caregiving is an act of love, but it also carries grief, exhaustion, and the need for self-compassion. </p><p>→ Writing can become a lifeline—a way to process pain, preserve connection, and reclaim a sense of self. </p><p>→ Being believed and truly seen matters deeply for people living with chronic pain or complex health conditions. </p><p>→ Rest is not laziness; caring for yourself is part of being able to care for others.</p><p>📘 Order Invisible, Until I'm Not: https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Until-Im-Not-Illness-ebook/dp/B0GSB7QQMH/</p><p>🌍 Show notes and more inspiration: https://wynneleon.com🔔 Subscribe to The Life of Try for more conversations on: personal growth, creativity, reinvention, resilience, writing, and mindset.</p><p>📌 Subscribe & Stay Updated: → https://www.youtube.com/@thelifeoftry?sub_confirmation=1</p><p>ABOUT ME Hi, I’m Wynne Leon — host of The Life of Try, a personal growth and self-improvement podcast exploring resilience, reinvention, uncertainty, and the courage to keep trying. </p><p>Through thoughtful interviews, reflective conversations, and real-life stories, I share insights to help you navigate change, get unstuck, and move forward with more intention.</p><p>🎥 Watch Next</p><p>➡️ Letting Go Of Outcomes: The Mindset That Keeps You Moving</p><p>➡️ 48: How to Get Unstuck: Michael Yang on Saying Yes, Resilience and Coming Alive</p>
