Vicki Wagoner - The Practical Intuitive

11/28/2025

This week on "The Practical Path," we explore the powerful, practical, and spiritual muscle of Gratitude.

It's more than just saying thank you—it's a complete mindset shift that re-wires your brain from lack to abundance. We dive into five ways to make gratitude an active, daily micro-practice, moving beyond the journal to find blessings in the most unexpected places.

Plus, our in-depth segment analyzes a groundbreaking article on why our relationships are essential for brain health, examining the neurochemical rewards—like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine—that fire when we truly connect. Learn how social connection isn't just a choice, but a biological necessity that dramatically affects your physical health, emotional resilience, and ability to pursue long-term goals.

Don't miss this episode on how to cultivate a more thankful heart for a happier, healthier life!

This week, a discussion of a list prepared by one of Bill's favorite bloggers, a person who writes about the "minimalist" lifestyle. For those not familiar with minimalism, it's important to remember that it's not about "doing with less," it's more about having exactly what you need in life, and not going overboard with collecting all that "stuff" that can get in the way of of a happy life.
So this week, a few intersting thoughts, including (minimalistically speaking) how life can be so much better by doing less. Worrying less about what others may (or may not( be thinking of you... Creating more happiness through the process of subtraction, not addition. A little weird? Yes. A lot helpful? We think so…

This week, the question is... are there really "coincidences" in this life? We put the word in quote marks because honesly, we don't think so. For us, those fun, interesting, and often amazing coincidences are a wink, nudge or something else from the Universe, getting our attention... asking us to be aware. Maybe there's a lesson to learn here!
We mention that because there's a really good story to be shared this week with a friend of the show, and how a "coincidence" showed up on the most interesting (and cool) way!

Also, this weeks' main disucssion is about a super-intereting idea to help keep yourself in times of - shall we say - challenge. While it's always good to have a friend to share with (and to get good, calm advice from)... that's not always possible. Why not do it for yourself? Easier said than done, you say? Well yes...and that's brings us to the cool idea we've got for you this week.

It's from a blog post called "Give Yourself a Ripcord to Pull." Here's the link if you'd like to read it yourself: https://www.raptitude.com/2025/07/give-yourself-a-ripcord-to-pull/ Enjoy it... we certainly did!

First, something new we mentioned on the show this week We'd love to hear from you! No matter if you're a brand new listener to The Practical Path, of you've been with us from the start, you know we talk about all kinds of "real life" experiences, and what they have to teach us about personal and spiritual growth.

So... How about you? Is there anything you'd like to hear more about? Is there any particular question you may have...? We're no experts, of course, but both Vicki and Bill do enjoy sharing and helping and offering whatever wisdom and experience they have have that could be of service to our listeners.

Do this: Stop by the podcast page. Just do a search for "The Practical Path Podcast" in the Facebook search bar to find us. Even easier...here's the direct link:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61564867676308 Stop by, say hello. Leave a comment, question or experience. We'd love to hear from you!

Why didn't we think of this a long time ago? Good question! At least for making up for it now...
On this week's show, some of those "challenging" real-life lessons experienced by Bill in just the past few days. A little painful and frustrating, to be sure... And yet, we're always on the lookout for the lessons to be learned, yes? Let's see if Bill can make some lemonade out of the lemons life gave him this week.
Thanks again for joining us!

This week, a new quote to kick things off: "If you aren't experienceing failure, then you are making a far worse mistake: You are being driven by the desire to avoid it."

What does that mean for you? Bill takes some time to "unpack" his thoughts on the topic, as he considers his own actions (or lack of them) when it comes to building his online business... something he says is important to him. Seems the question is; how important? Something to think about in lots of different life-aspects. Relationships, jobs, and more.

Also, an interesting blog post on "YAMO." What's that? "Youre' Always Mission Out." Kinda like YOLO (You Only Live Once).. it's a way of looking at all the different choices we have - with just about everything! - in life, and making good decisions. Ones based out of what we truly want, not out of a fear of missing something else.

YAMA is the radical acceptance that missing out is inevitable, so there’s no need to stress about it. Rather than trying to optimize every decision or avoid regret, it reminds us that we’re finite beings in an infinite world.

This week, more about learning patience! Bill is working his way through that lesson when it comes to his eye-surgery recovery. To say it's been a "long and winding road" would be an undertatement.

More impotantly, Bill and Vicki talk about the differences between "respond" and "react." Hint: one is more proactive, the other is a more emotion-based. One is more "in-the-moment," the other is definitely more thoughtful.

Also, there's a talk about how to build and develop better "resilience." Here's the link to the post we talked about:

This week, to paraphrase The Beatles, "life is a long and winding road." In other words, we may have a good idea of where we'd like to go (or maybe not!), but the way we get to that desination very rarely follows the path we first imagined.

On the show this week, a good discussion of taking charge of your own life, following whatever path you choose, and maybe even doing some stuff along the way that scares you!

Along those lines, we talk about a recent Instagram post from popular author and personal development speaker Mel Robbins. It's all about finding the courage to do those scary things, and hopefull have fun along the way.

This week, a little bit more on the great conversation we started last week on "gratitude." There's plenty to talk about on the subject for sure.

Also this week, a discussion on a new post we found, called "How to walk the path of “everyday enlightenment.” Hint: It's a lot easier than you might think... Second hint, it's not so much about hours of meditation... it's more about your daily actions.

This week... a really, REALLY good discussion and deep-dive, prompted by an Instagram post talking about how to determine if you are living with a "wounded" inner child. Spoiler Alert: You very likely are. Why? We've all had some "interesting" early-life experiences. Where they all bad or negative? No, but we all have some "recovery" to do.
Listen in for the signs of an inner child that needs love and care, and of course some great ideas, tools and concepts of what you can do to help yourself become a better YOU.
