52 Weeks Podcast

Meredith and Heidi kept Josh and Steph accountable with the spicy hot challenge. A few weeks ago, Steph and Josh challenged that if they didn't meet their goals they would eat a pepper, they are pansies when it comes to spicy food so this provided motivation for several weeks. During the week of thanksgiving, they missed their goals. Josh by one percent Steph by a lot more, and so today they will both be eating a pepper. Listen as we review our goals and push play and listen to our guest for this week Jake Reed.

Guess whose back? It's been almost a year since Meredith and Steph have recorded with Kellie. To all those who listened to the first season, you will remember Kellie's quick wit and lovely Australian accent. Kellie shares what she's learned from 2021 and how her apple watch has become the ultimate accountability buddy.

After several weeks of traveling, Heidi is back in the studio with us today. We catch up on our thanksgivings weeks and discover that some of us did better with our goals than others. Cough Cough Steph just put hers in vacation mode the whole week. Guess who's back? Kellie from last season. Make sure to play the next episode and hear about how her apple watch has been a game-changer in 2021.

This week we talked with Rob Adams, founder of Thanksgiving Heroes. When Rob was younger one holiday season his Dad lost his job and his parents couldn’t afford Christmas dinner. Thankfully they had generous friends, who fed them at their lowest points. At a young age Rob knew he wanted to one day replicate such an overwhelming gesture for others. Seven years ago Rob had a goal of feeding ten families. Word spread and the goal was more than met by feeding 755 families. Tune in as we go over his adventure in being a thanksgiving hero and how you can also!

This is a quick recap of our goals. Steph and Josh are safe and don't have to do the spicy food challenge because both of them got 91 percent on their goals. Meredith killed it with her goals and made some amazing Christmas tree ornaments. Heidi is out traveling and wasn't able to make it. We all feel recharged after listening to Rob Adams and are excited to start manifesting our goals.

Meredith went on a family trip this weekend to Southern Utah, Josh's sister got married, Steph got in a bunch of steps, and Heidi was finally out of Covid quarantine so she celebrated Guy Fox day. We sat around the recording table today discussing big hairy goals and how they add excitement to life. Brian Tracy talks about dream big dreams! “Imagine that you have no limitations and then decide what's right before you decide what’s possible.” As you go about this week remember to dream big, start small, and act daily.

We get the special treat to talk with Shannon about her tea company oh teas. They have a line of teas that are good tasting and good for you. We go into why she started this company and her goals she made on the way.

With only two months left of the podcast, we're reviewing our goals and deciding what's realistic to accomplish before the end of the year. How do we add consistency to our routines? What should be dropped from our lists? How do we prioritize our goals? These are just a few of the questions we are asking each other this week.

I am so excited to have my good friend, Kelli Sharp join us this week. I have wanted Kelli to join us since we started this podcast last year. Kelli shares with us what it's like to raise a family and keep setting goals for herself and her kids. One of my favorite quotes from this episode is "Knowledge comes from the mind but understanding comes from the heart". In order to commit to your goals, you need to understand the why, feel it. She is such a good example of consistency and diligence. Come meet Kelli!

This week we have a visit from author Paula Jean Ferri. Paula has always been in love with books even before she learned to read. Once she learned how there was no turning back! She read so much growing up that she was once grounded from books for an entire summer during middle school. She has dreamed of being a writer for as long as she can remember. She grew up in Logandale, NV, leaving her hometown to attend both Snow College and Brigham Young University-Hawaii to obtain a degree in International Cultural Studies with an emphasis in Communication.

In her senior year of high school, Paula started making noises. At 24, she was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. This has given her a unique perspective that she wanted to share with the world.

She currently resides in southern Utah with her family and two cats. In addition to reading and writing, Paula loves singing and dancing in almost any genre. She loves being in and watching theatre productions, especially any musical performances. She is usually up for almost any activity, as long as it involves people. She enjoys all things island-related and would love to travel the world.
