Kate Beck [00:00:03]:
Welcome to the Timeless Vitality podcast where co-hosts Kate Beck and Amber Stitt explore the unique journeys, inspiring stories, and timeless wisdom of those who embody vitality and resilience.

Amber Stitt [00:00:17]:
Together, we discover what it means to thrive well beyond 100, sharing insights that empower you to live with purpose and create a lasting legacy.

Kate Beck [00:00:27]:
Let's get started with today's episode. Hello and welcome to the Timeless Vitality podcast. My name is Kate Beck. I'll be your host and my co-host is Amber Stitt. Amber: Hi. We are welcoming Dorice Horenstein to our show today. Dorice, tell us a little bit about yourself.

Dorice Horenstein [00:00:44]:
Hi, Kate and Amber. First of all, thank you for having me here. I am feeling really blessed by being on your podcast and in the premiere season. So thank you.

Dorice Horenstein [00:00:55]:
Okay, about me in a sentence, or two, or three. I came to the United States in 1986 from Israel with one suitcase, $600, no coat, in the month of December to Portland, Oregon. It was my first time on a plane ever. And when I came, I started immersing into the Jewish life here in Portland, Oregon. And I thought, what can I do to share my talents and my gifts? And naturally, I went into Jewish education because of my knowledge in Hebrew, my knowledge in Jewish life, my knowledge in knowing the spiritual essence of Judaism, the Bible. And so I made that my home for 30 years. The last 16 were actually running a school from kindergarten to middle school and then even adult education. And I left all of that beautiful world, which I loved because the impetus was my sister was diagnosed with cancer.

Dorice Horenstein [00:01:54]:
And I thought to myself, what can I do when she is 10,000 miles away from me? How can I help her? Of course, I couldn't go to every chemotherapy appointment. So I decided to create these videos every Saturday night about positive living, hoping that she wakes up in the morning and she will read and see those messages and it will give her some kind of positivity. And so I did it for an entire year, every single Saturday, like clock. My youngest son was, back then 9 years-old, and he would tape me on the iPhone. And that's what we did. And that weekly videos were the impetus of my book, "Moments of the Heart".

Amber Stitt [00:02:36]:
Wow.

Dorice Horenstein [00:02:37]:
To get that book out in the world, I felt that I needed to change where I was because no longer was I only focusing on the Jewish target. I wanted to focus on humanity as a whole. And so I wanted the world to be my classroom and my stage. And that led me into being a speaker. And I started traveling all around the country. When Covid hit I was invited again to look at what's there and to choose the opportunity out of the restriction that I experienced. And that's how I got introduced to Positive Intelligence and became a coach. Number 45 in the world. So today I am a Positive Intelligence expert, which leads me to many places to speak either about resilience, which is my own talk, my book, "Moments of the Heart", my "Train Your Brain", which is mental fitness, and how we can show up in our best even though we have challenges.

Dorice Horenstein [00:03:37]:
And so I call myself the "Oy to Joy" from challenges to triumph, from difficulties to then finding the joy in the everyday life. And looking at my life, it seems like that every time around the corner where I needed to pivot, I knew why. Because for me, connection to your essence has been a driving method and factor for me to never hide, to never push down. In my coaching, I talk about awareness. I lead my clients and my speaking audiences into what gives you meaning and purpose. "Okay, how do you not shut down now?" Through this work with the coaching, I realized how imperative making the right choice for a human being is. And I've seen the struggle of people making choices.

Dorice Horenstein [00:04:28]:
So after a year and a half, I am proud to say that my book, "Choosing: The 6 Step Playbook to Making the Right Choice for You" is actually going to come to fruition. And that's my second book, and I could not be more excited about this. And you guys are the second podcast that I'm doing about this phase in my life, which is so gratifying and I am feeling so blessed that I'm here with you sharing this story. Thank you.

Kate Beck [00:05:00]:
Dorice, speaking in terms of choosing, how does someone choose to have a positive life when they're overcoming challenges? I mean, you're teaching and leading a mental fitness program day-in and day-out, and many times people come and they're exhausted or overworked or under recognized. And what is the common theme that helps them get over that hump?

Dorice Horenstein [00:05:22]:
Yeah, what a wonderful question. I think the first thing that when people come with challenges and difficulties is honor the feeling that they have at that moment. It's not about pushing it down and positive intelligence. The whole coaching normalizes the negative feelings that we have. The guilt, the shame, the blame, the anger, the disappointment, the stress. We normalizes it and it's okay. It means that you are a human being. That's what it means.

Dorice Horenstein [00:05:53]:
So welcome to this world. You belong here. You know, you do. And how do you then intercept that? Because you can still be with your negative feelings, but it will be as if you are with the hand on the hot stove and not picking your hand up, right? Think of the negative emotion as like a physical pain, right? Because we do feel bad. Just think about it just in our brains. So how do you then lift your hand from the hot stove so you don't continue to burn yourself and burn yourself deeply? So in the book the "6 Steps", I actually took the word choose, C H O O S E and made it an acronym for a person, company, masterminds, conversation among friends. To go through a choice that you have and to come and land in a place that your heart is at ease with that choice.

Dorice Horenstein [00:06:47]:
Because if your heart is not at ease, you will have this nagging sound in your brain and this knot in your stomach. And then you may choose to go that way. But before long, you will realize that that may not have been the right place for you. So in this book, what I try to demonstrate and illustrate through my own stories is how do you derive into the right choice? Now, the good news is that whatever choice we make, most of them, you can remake a choice, okay? It's not like, "Oh my God, you know, I've done this choice, I'm forever stuck." Unless it's a choice that is what I call eternal choice. Eternal choice, like let's say becoming a parent, okay? It's a choice you made to become a parent. You cannot renege on it. I mean, this is it.

Dorice Horenstein [00:07:36]:
You got a kid, you know, you can't say, "Oops, didn't mean to do that." So some choices are eternal and some other choices are internal also. So some of the internal choices you can change. Because isn't that what life is? You know, I mean, life is all about changing all the time. If you haven't changed...Well, listen, even your skin, your skin changes every year. It replenishes it, right? The cells you can go to exfoliate it. New things come about, right? So your skin changes. If your skin and outside changes, why not your mind and your brain and your thinking, you know, why not? So let me take you, with your permission, into the "6 Steps" in a concise way, so you can see where I'm going.

Amber Stitt [00:08:22]:
Perfect.

Kate Beck [00:08:23]:
Yes. We love it.

Dorice Horenstein [00:08:24]:
You love it. Okay.

Kate Beck [00:08:25]:
Yes.

Dorice Horenstein [00:08:25]:
Just so you know, the book that...I know, just so you know, the book that I am writing that will be out will also have a workbook with it. And yes, there is going to be a QR code and you can download for free the workbook. And it will have videos links in the workbook. It will have audio links with me leading people through a contemplation, visualization of some things. And the workbook will build on these cards that I...I have like a card deck that I created, so you can see.

Amber Stitt [00:09:04]:
Beautiful.

Kate Beck [00:09:05]:
We love it.

Dorice Horenstein [00:09:06]:
Yes. So each step I'm going to show you just the first part. So this first step is "Clarity." So each card has the essence of that step and invites you then to integrate Positive Intelligence modalities into your choosing phase, whatever that phase is. And this has been a labor of love to me because I keep myself extremely busy with speaking engagements and coaching, and yet I felt that this book is a beautiful complement to the first book because the first book came from my sister having cancer and it was steeped in Jewish tradition and Jewish wisdom, of which I am very knowledgeable. In the second book, even though it's clearly that I'm Jewish, clearly that I speak Hebrew, because I bring the Hebrew component into that second book. It is more directed to the professional person that just wants to know how do I deal with teammates, how do I deal with children, or with siblings, or with my boss about this? How do I choose the right thing? And in the long run, how do I become the person of my own choosing? Because we are the product of our choices 100%. So the first step, "C" stands for "Clarity". Are you clear about your options and the information about it? Like, find out sometimes.

Dorice Horenstein [00:10:33]:
Here's what I found. Sometimes the choice is not even ours and yet we make it for other people. I'm like, so the first thing, is it even your choice to make, or are you butting yourself in? You know, like, whose choice is this? Right?

Amber Stitt [00:10:45]:
Like, stay in your lane is what you're saying. You can have other lanes, but are you staying in, you know...

Dorice Horenstein [00:10:52]:
Yes, so let's get clear of this choice, understand what is the decision that needs to be made. So that's the first step. And explore all the details that are in front of you about that. So, of course, I use Positive Intelligence the explorer game within Positive Intelligence. So I kind of marry together this Positive Intelligence and the idea and the persistence of can we choose rightly for us? And I capital, they're making the right choice for you, YOU, capital, because your choice may not be my choice yet I need to respect you. That's YOUR choice. As a coach, I'm invested in your well being, but you are an adult and an independent mind and I can coach you. I can maybe even advise you to some degree. But bottom line, YOU have the innate wisdom to make the choice for YOU.

Dorice Horenstein [00:11:47]:
You have that within you. So the second step is the "H", and that's "Honor". Honor your feelings, again, not push them down. And then understand that these feelings are originated in a particular value system that you have. So connect your feelings to values, connect it to the thoughts in your mind. Understand why is this not in your stomach? What is the impetus of the feelings that you have, and ask yourself, what is the fear that is hiding behind those not in your stomach? Because all the negative feelings that we have stem from a place of fear. So bring it to the surface. If it's always down, we cannot face it.

Dorice Horenstein [00:12:30]:
Only when it's up, we can face our fears. So when you go and you do like a triathlon and all that, you face your fear, it's like, "Darn it, I'm going to do this 5K." I'm going to face your fear. So now it's mentally face your fear and reflect also on the intuition piece, because intuition is valuable, you know, connect with that when you make a choice. So that's the second part. That's the honor. The third part, the "O" is "Openness" to options.

Dorice Horenstein [00:12:58]:
Are we keeping our mindset open? Can we think of other...sometimes it's more than one choice. Sometimes there's different things and we somehow have a tunnel vision. "Oh, only this or this, black or white." Can you bring more things in? Can you be open to what's really out there? And then we use the innovate game for this in Positive Intelligence, and we can play this game. So when I'm hired, that would be definitely a thing. I'm doing a game about different choices that we can have.

Dorice Horenstein [00:13:29]:
And in that place, also the openness kind of accepting that you don't know what you don't know. A bit forgiving to your own self. Don't say, "Oh, my God, how did I not know that?" You know, as my angel says, "When you know better, you do better." So, all right, take it. The next step, the second "O" is "Oneness". I love that word. Because oneness in Hebrew is shleimut, and shleimut means being complete. Being complete.

Dorice Horenstein [00:14:00]:
So when you think about the particular choice that you need to make, do you feel unity and completeness and oneness with the choice that you have? Are you aligning with what I say, the champion within you? Because I do believe that every person is a champion in their own right, yet sometimes we don't know it. Sometimes we beat ourselves so hard and we are not recognizing that piece in us. So are you in oneness with the choice that you're making? Because if you're not, that should bring a red light bulb in your brain. And you know when you're not because your feelings, your honor piece will also suffer. Okay, so in that place, I always invite people to go into the navigate like meet yourself and I go through this visualization thing. Meet yourself 10 years from now, 15 years from now, 20 years from now, and ask yourself, "What is the meaning and the purpose in what I'm doing now? What choice will lead me into a place that is aligned more with my principles?" And my principles are things that don't change, right? If you know what your principles are, these are consistent over time, regardless of where you live, what you do, how old you are. It's principles that you have adopted into your existence.

Dorice Horenstein [00:15:20]:
So that oneness is one of the most important parts. Then we go to the "S" and the "S" is "Strategy". How do you strategize your success? Okay, so you decide to choose whatever. Is there a timeline? What is the timeline? Are you bringing other people into this situation because your choice may affect other people? Are they coming in to this road with you? Have you shared your choice with them? Are you clear? Think of a CEO of a company, think of a parent with a child, strategize, bring more people. Because the more collaboration you have, the more buy-in you have, the more successful you become. Because then people can literally line up behind you and says, "Yes, we're going with that train, where that train is going, we're going, because we know the mind, we know what's behind it." So that to me is important to have.

Dorice Horenstein [00:16:13]:
And understanding the implication if somebody's not willing to jump on board with you, it's a way for you to actually analyze a lot of this. And then the last piece, which is the last piece of everything that we do, the "E" stands for "Enactment", taking an action and execute your choice. You can do all of these five things, but if you don't actually do it, what good is it? You know, like think of yourself like you wanted to do a podcast. If you talked and talked and talked and went through all these amazing five steps before, but you didn't actually record and open it up, nothing would happen, right? So the enactment is the action piece. Now a lot of the time with the choices that we make in that place of enactment, you will have your saboteurs try to preempt your success. "Oh, you're not going to be successful. Nobody's going to buy your book. Nobody's going to listen to the podcast." I mean, you just name it and our brain goes. So understanding and preempt your saboteurs because they will come. So how close are you again with your five steps? Now these six steps, they can be done simultaneously or they can be done in phases.

Dorice Horenstein [00:17:26]:
What I found out because I gave that talk to two other groups already so far because I wanted always to test it with people. And I've learned that for everybody, some steps are easier than others, some steps are more, they're more in than others. So I always say, what is the easy to do step for you? What is the most difficult step for you? And then how do you bridge between that and that? How do you connect? What is your element? And through sometimes coaching is a great thing to do in order to bring something to fruition. That's no shame in the game. So what is the help that you need to get there? So that is my book, "Choosing".

Amber Stitt [00:18:13]:
Beautiful. So excited to see those cards.

Kate Beck [00:18:15]:
I know, I'm very excited for the cards. And what I love about how that works beautifully with Timeless Vitality is we are here talking about what happens for a timeless life and what kind of conversations can we have with each other, our community, our families. What difficult topics are we avoiding, or not talking about? And specifically the legacy of how you want to have end of life decisions. So imagine planned or unplanned, something happens and you can't go potty by yourself, you can't take a shower by yourself, or you're completely reliant on someone. Have you had the conversation with your spouse, or your children, or your neighbor? Or, do you have something in line that's going to be setting you up with what happens when this happens? And many people don't even want to talk about this difficult, "Oh, I'll always be healthy. I'll always be able to go potty and do these things." But who's going to wipe your you know what? And does that person know that they were designated? Do they know? Have you had the conversation? And I feel like your book choices is the beautiful segue into wow, this is a legacy conversation that I need to have while I'm healthy, happy and of a joyful space and spirit and before these negative emotions get involved.

Kate Beck [00:19:31]:
So I ask you, I'm passing the baton to you, Dorice, to say how do you, or how would you encourage people to start thinking about or exploring these difficult conversations before they come up?

Dorice Horenstein [00:19:44]:
Wow. So one of the entries, just so you know. So my book, once it's split to those six steps, within each step there are entries and the different entries always conclude with your moment to choose, blah, blah, blah. And so it's, choosing to lead, choosing to control my thoughts, choosing to be in the ease and flow. One of them is choosing to age. One of the entries in the book is choosing to age. And in that section I'm actually interviewing an 81 year old woman that I've known for 30 years and she wrote her choosing to age mantras and her story. So I can't wait for you to read this because I mean, when you spoke, I'm having goosebumps.

Dorice Horenstein [00:20:33]:
And when I think of choosing to age or the legacy of aging, I'm right now like as you were speaking, my thoughts of my parents came before me. My parents are alive, my mom is doing okay, my dad not so good. You know, he has dementia, he's got Parkinson's, he's got all of other things there was yesterday, blood work coming, not so good. So what am I learning? Because you learn from other people, you learn from what you see. If you're willing to open your eyes, right, and not be stuck in your way. "Oh, my way or the highway," right? When you're willing to look at that choosing to age and age as gracefully as you humanly can. Because let me tell you, there is nothing physical about timeless. We are all going to go die.

Dorice Horenstein [00:21:20]:
We're all going to go face down, six feet down. That's the name of the game. The question is, what do you do when you have your capabilities to set yourself up? So for myself, I'm already having a conversation with my 3 adult children, who, two of them live on the east coast and one of them is still here, but he's in college, so he may be moving also, God knows where. But I have a plan and a timeline and a strategy because I went through this choice. I have a strategy of a timeline of when we're moving from where I live to the east coast to be closer to my family. I also strategized it in a way that is not in the time that I need them, but in the time that I want. It's a different moving. I don't feel that for me is I need to go there when they need to clean my butt, okay? I want to move there so I can drive the grandkids everywhere.

Dorice Horenstein [00:22:16]:
I want to move there so they can enjoy all the good things that I can bring to them on a daily and a weekly basis. So that's part of the strategy of choice that I have made, is that as much as I love where I live, I would love other places too, because that place is where I'm going to live and invest my last phase of life.

Amber Stitt [00:22:36]:
Dorice, all of these things that you're saying, we go into this, let's say, finish high school. What are we going to be when we grow up? And we put all this emphasis on training for this career. Why are we not training for 60 and beyond and building strategies around that so that you can relocate not because you're ailing, but because you're aging and you have different goals now and you want to have an amazing 40 years doing something else, you know, so we talk about, Kate and I, there's no retirement age. At what point do you move from one career and maybe transition to some other passion project? Maybe it's making you money as you travel and speak. Maybe not. It doesn't matter. It could be anything. Can't you see your card stack in your book being the roadmap into the next phase of, like, have a strategy around that? Why are we not doing that?

Dorice Horenstein [00:23:24]:
I think people having a lot of fear. I think people having a lot of fear and they try to line up with the norms of the society in which they live. You know, it's like, "Oh, I gotta have a job. I gotta make money. I gotta build that house. I gotta do this." And let me tell you, when I left my job of 30 years, I said goodbye to a lot of known factors in my life. And I did not know if I'm going to sink or soar.

Dorice Horenstein [00:23:53]:
I did not know that. I think intuitively I trusted myself and I had faith. Maybe that's what it is. It's the idea of faith. And I'm not talking about religious faith. It could be.

Dorice Horenstein [00:24:05]:
It could be for some, you know, whatever you call it, that source that you say that is beyond you. Okay, whatever it is, some people it's God. Some people it's the nature, whatever it is. But it has to be, in my opinion, above human. Because you can't put all your trust in humanity. Because look at what's happening with humanity now. Just look out the window. Okay?

Amber Stitt [00:24:27]:
Yeah, and that's the point. We could not turn on the news and still be doing our thing. No fear. We need to have awareness. But I'm not saying completely separate. But if we can operate on this higher level and not be having all these extra external factors just derailing and distracting us constantly.

Dorice Horenstein [00:24:47]:
Yeah, exactly, Amber. So it's not reacting to life's happening, but it's acting in life's journey. It's so that I think is a beautiful way of looking at it. And that actually what made me jump ship, quote unquote, from the education world into this ocean where I did not know anything. And slowly, slowly I met amazing people like Kate doing this. I never would have met Kate if I continued my work in the education field. Never. Most of the people that I mingle now are my gift from this step that I've taken. And you also change and you develop, or you explore other ways of living and you get more open minded.

Dorice Horenstein [00:25:32]:
It's such a beautiful journey if you're all 100% invested in it. It's just a beautiful thing. Yeah.

Kate Beck [00:25:40]:
So Dorice, in your opinion, how would someone be timeless? What does timeless and living a timeless life mean to you?

Dorice Horenstein [00:25:48]:
Okay, you sent me that question and I am just giggling with excitement because I may say something that you have not heard before, but that's what comes to me. And I was actually having a conversation with my husband yesterday on this because I love the word timeless and yet I don't know if anybody, someone can be timeless. Because our time is very scripted in this world that we know, that we see, unless we're talking about the world to come, you know, after you die. And that's a whole big thing. But when I thought about timeless, I thought about something, some entity that was, is, and will be. Right? That's timeless. How amazing it is that the word in Hebrew for God, the highest word for God, what we call in Judaism the Tetragrammaton, which is the most holiest name of God, is a name we can't pronounce. But it means was, is and will be, which is timeless.

Dorice Horenstein [00:26:58]:
And so that when we talk about that, we think timeless it also means transcendent, right? Transcendent over time. So then when I thought about what does transcendent over time mean? There were products that people have put forward, like Picasso and Chagall and things that we see the product or a beautiful necklace that is collectible. Right? These are the products that human beings created that are timeless and that's what makes them timeless. So the picture of a particular picture, particular thing makes that artist timeless. Same thing goes with characters. I'm sure for a Christian person, Jesus is a timeless entity. Because you think, you pray, you think about Jesus, right? For me, since I don't have the Jesus part going, maybe it's Moses, right? It's not necessarily the person, but it's what their message was that connected us to that person. So when I think of timeless, I think about the wisdom.

Dorice Horenstein [00:28:10]:
I think about the product. In the end, whatever, if it's tangible product, or if it's not a tangible product. But that's what makes the entity timeless. So what do I suggest for people to do? Lean into the champion of you. Because you will produce products that will be timeless. But you yourself are not timeless. Because it goes against what I believe in in my heart, which is be humble and have a sense of humility. Imagine if some people will stand like, "Yeah, I'm timeless."

Amber Stitt [00:28:45]:
"I am timeless, immortal."

Dorice Horenstein [00:28:47]:
Exactly. It will be like, "I'm immortal." No, timeless is an adjective that is being given by somebody else about you. Somebody else tells you, "Yeah, your wisdom, what you said is timeless."

Amber Stitt [00:29:01]:
The thing that I was thinking of as I'm listening to you talk today. And to kind of close out this episode and really closing out the series. I want people to know if we're saying there's outputs, these products. You're speaking of your book. I've just been watching the last decade as a business owner. Now I'd see other people and I'd see them have this hesitation of what's my next thing? You can choose your outputs. And that will then become this timeless legacy that you can provide. I think there's so many people that don't realize there's this movement where there's these people changing, transitioning, and starting their whole new world and having a lot of fun.

Amber Stitt [00:29:37]:
There is a whole movement of this happening at any age. For example, did you ever think going out to Portland and being a teacher, you're going to fly and be a speaker for a big organization that insurance producers know, "The Million Dollar Roundtable". This is an output of other product that you've put together. And that event is going to be timeless for those attendees. And then who knows what else is going to be out there. So I want our listeners to know it's really up to you. And I'm really putting a challenge out there. You have our community.

Amber Stitt [00:30:08]:
If you need something, you reach out. We're going to point you in the right direction, to Dorice. And we'll talk about how people can find you here in just a moment. But to really close this out, the power is in your hands. Right, Dorice? Like, people can choose this literally?

Dorice Horenstein [00:30:21]:
Yes, absolutely. I believe that each one of us has the light within themselves to make the right choices. They need to be sometimes directed but that's okay because the impetus which is the will, comes from them. You know, I cannot make you want. I can't. I can't make you want. The want is the desire that is within you.

Dorice Horenstein [00:30:44]:
And that's what I always say to people. Connect with other people who can inspire you. "The how to." And can go with you together on this journey. Because living in this world is not a single human process. We need our village. We need our group of people with us. And we have to understand that belonging to a group is one of the most crucial things in your resilience in achieving what you want. I call it the chamber of relationships.

Dorice Horenstein [00:31:13]:
It's important to have that. So choose that and then stick with them.

Amber Stitt [00:31:18]:
So how do people find your resources?

Dorice Horenstein [00:31:19]:
Oh, thank you so much. DoriceHorenstein.com is my website. You can find all sorts of information where I am. The link to my YouTube channel is in there. Of course, LinkedIn, @DoriceHorenstein. And you can always email me doricehorenstein@gmail.com or dorice@doricehornstein.com and if you want to be an ambassador for my "Choosing" book, when it is going to be out, I will do a pre-event for ambassadors only. They will get a free PDF and also just now we'll be celebrating on Zoom. They will help me, those ambassadors will help me to spread the message so I will have more and more people hearing that messages that I have. And hopefully serve them and make their lives better.

Amber Stitt [00:32:06]:
Can't wait. That is so exciting.

Dorice Horenstein [00:32:08]:
