Beyond Retirement

Laura’s eary life involved bullying, abuse and bankruptcy and culminated in burnout. But at the age of 19, she still managed to create, build and run the award-winning marketing company, Vision Advertising. She was a 40 Under 40 winner at only 23! She continued as CEO of Vision Advertising with major success until 2018, when she turned over active control to her successor and retired, at only 37! 

Since retirement, she has learned the formula to build a life of joy and now follows her passion to share this message with others. Her belief is that by recognizing and turning these six characteristics into habits...actions done completely on autopilot every day...you will gain mastery over your life and achieve true happiness. She explains all in  her book, "The Six Habits, Practical Tools for Bringing Your Dreams to Life."

Laura now lives in tropical bliss with her husband and pets on the island of Maui.

Nothing special in the notes today! It's always important to plan ahead when you're going to be away from home and the security of your "normal life". Of course you can't plan for everything...but even acknowledging THAT can save you some heartache.

Unless you're an eternal daredevil who lives for the boost of adrenaline that comes with big adventure, you'll want to do some research before you take your trip. Knowing what emergency services are available at your destination, as well as where to go to get help, will go a long way toward making the unplanned events easier to manage.

Most major countries have embassies or government offices in many locations around the world, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find assistance when required. Your country's embassy will not incur any expenses on your behalf, but they can probably help you figure out what to do in your unique situation.

Chelsea started her career in the health and exercise field as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer. While her background and education are in Exercise Science, she had a desire to help people more than just in their physical health. So she combined her interest in personal development with wanting to help people live healthier lives with less stress and created her Self-Care focused coaching business. She empowers busy, high-achieving women to put themselves first so that they can have the energy to accomplish all that they want in their life. When she's not working, you can find Chelsea curled up with a book or playing with her dogs.

8:00 - Five Pillars of self-care - discover what you need to gain energy, confidence, ability to take on the world each day. For Chelsea these are body movement, fuel for the body, rest, stress management, and mindset.

10:45 - being busy isn't a "bad thing".
