Hello and Welcome to Siren Soapbox. Since January, the Siren’s have explored the idea of manifestation. It started with our very heated conversation of “The Secret”, then “Manifestation Babe”, “Begin with Yes”, and later this year we will be discussing “The Artist Way”. Today we are focusing on a program called “Optimal Self”. According to https://www.optimalself.today it is the “art of becoming the best version of yourself.” All the Sirens took the Identity Creator Course offered for free on the site and today we are going to explore the topic of “I AM” Statements. Here are the guidelines- do not lie to yourself and close your “I AM” statement with an action statement. This action of identifying what you are committed to and why followed by action steps helps to reprogram your brain to become your optimal self! Challenge of the Week: Create your own “I AM” statements using the Optimal Self Method #SirenSoapbox #SirenSoapbox #Siren #Soapbox #DiveIn #StayCurious #BeHappy #DiveInStayCuriousBeHappy #optimalself #selfimprovement #iam #findyourwhy #friends #discovery #why #selfhelp #self #optimal #MakeADifference #ChallengeOfTheWeek #Explore #Adventure #Challenge #GetOutOfYourComfortZone #Podbean #Spotify #Pandora #IHeartRadio #Audible #Amazon

Start your engines Explorers because today the Siren’s are going to Soapbox about their adventures with getting their tails on a motorcycle. This topic came about through a listener challenge through our website! Some just recently learned for the first time and others have some stories-maybe some misadventures of their own to share. The goal was to be able to successfully start the bike, get our feet on the pegs, shift gears, and turn at the end of the parking lot, come back and come to a nice slow, controlled stop. How did the Siren’s fare? Let’s find out! If you have a challenge for the Siren's fill out the contact us section in the www.SirenSoapbox.com Website. Zee Traveler- Her motto of continuously pushing boundaries is right in-sync with the Siren philosophy. Not only does her website www.ZeeTraveler.com  cater to motorcyclists of all skill levels, she dives into new adventures on her motorcycle courageously exploring over 35,000 miles in the continental United States and even extending out of the comfort zone of her own country to explore Canada, Eastern Europe, and the Philippines.

Her and her friends go to an antique store and you are only allowed to spend $5 or less on the person AND the item you choose has to be related to the person you picked it for. Then when you exchange gifts you have to try to guess who got you what and why. Did anyone guess correctly? Dive in with us as we discover a little bit more about each other. Challenge of the Week: Tell us about your favorite gift you have received or given and why? Bonus points if you have pictures! #SirenSoapbox #SirenSoapbox #Siren #Soapbox #DiveIn #StayCurious #BeHappy #DiveInStayCuriousBeHappy #ChristmasInJuly #Christmas #giftexchange #friends #discovery #qualityoverquantity #quality #antique #MakeADifference #ChallengeOfTheWeek #Explore #Adventure #Challenge #GetOutOfYourComfortZone #Podbean #Spotify #Pandora #IHeartRadio

The media loves a good scary shark story to incite fear in the public. Sharks have long been feared as a mindless man eating machines. As divers, the sirens know that when you are in the water, you are entering the shark's realm. While swimming with them, it is hard not to be in awe of these magnificent creatures. Even more important is that without sharks, we are ALL in serious trouble. Since it is Shark Week on Discovery Channel this week we are going to soapbox about it! We even have some special guests from Shark Guardian (www.sharkguardian.org) and Ocearch (www.ocearch.org) to help us dispel some of the popular myths around sharks.  Challenge of the MONTH!- Take the edx.org free class on sharks and Shark Guardian’s class and then join us on Facebook Live on August 18th 7pm EST to test your shark knowledge in our first ever Trivia Night! Yes- there will be PRIZES involved!   #SirenSoapbox #Siren #Soapbox #DiveIn #StayCurious #BeHappy #DiveInStayCuriousBeHappy #sharkweek #shark #sharkweek2021 #sharkweekdiscovery #discovery #sharkguardian #ocearch #reefbox #MakeADifference #ChallengeOfTheWeek #Explore #Adventure #Challenge #GetOutOfYourComfortZone #Podbean #Spotify #Pandora #IHeartRadio

What do you do when you gotta go when you are on the go and have no place to um go? We have the tools to discuss this topic and that is what the sirens are going to dive into today. For the past few months the sirens have been testing different female urinal devices. Trigger warning, if you are easily offended or squeamish hearing about human body functions, then this episode probably isn’t for you. But we are glad that our newest guest siren, Nessie, trying out her deep purple tail for the first time, isn't easily offended or squeamish! Challenge of the Week: Tell us about a simple device that you discovered that makes something in your life much easier (maybe we will even try it out in a future episode!) #SirenSoapbox #Siren #Soapbox #DiveIn #StayCurious #BeHappy #DiveInStayCuriousBeHappy #shewee #gogirl #pee #relief  #socialexperiment #femaleurinal #urinal #MakeADifference #ChallengeOfTheWeek #Explore #Adventure #Challenge #GetOutOfYourComfortZone #Podbean #Spotify #Pandora #IHeartRadio

Recently, we have been dealing with a lot of topics on self discovery and are going to do something a little bit more light hearted today- the topic is Geocaching, the world’s largest treasure hunt! The first geocache was placed on May 3rd, 2000. The rules are simple: download the app, geocaching, follow the gps navigation and clues to the cache. When you find it- make sure to act cool, you don't want to give away the secret to “muggles” (these are non-players), take a prize and leave a prize of equal value and sign the log book. Make sure to put the cache back in the same hiding spot for the next player. Then you log your find into your app. Be sure to always be aware of your surroundings and follow local rules. It is always nice to “cache in, trash out” as they say.. Meaning as you are on the trails, leave them prettier than you found them by taking out any garbage you see. Tune in to hear about the Siren's experience with geocaching! Challenge of the Week: Get out in your area and have an adventure! Go on a treasure hunt! Geocache, and tell us the best treasure you found, maybe it’ll be in a cache you find OR maybe it’ll be part of the journey! #SirenSoapbox #DiveIn #StayCurious #BeHappy #DiveInStayCuriousBeHappy #Geocache #geocaching #treasure #hunt #treasurehunt #MakeADifference #ChallengeOfTheWeek #Explore #Adventure #Challenge #Podbean #Spotify #Pandora #IHeartRadio
