Beyond The Stethoscope

Favorite quotes of the episode: "Two people in a relationship with different attachment styles is like playing a board game with two different sets of rules."

"This isn't a diagnosis, it's a subconscious set of rules we have for relating."

"Our attachment style can always change, it's reprogrammable through new neural pathways."

"The subconscious is programmed through repetition plus emotion."

Episode Overview

In this episode, I talk with Thais Gibson. Thais is an author, speaker, and co-creator of the Personal Development School. She is extremely passionate about personal growth, the subconscious mind, and connecting with others. With an MA and over 13 different certifications ranging from CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to hypnosis, Thais strives to continuously learn and grow.

She is best known for her contributing work and research on Attachment Theory and the impact of attachment trauma on our adult romantic relationships. She overlaps attachment trauma challenges with personal core wounds, limiting beliefs and emotional patterns at the subconscious level to give us deeper insight into ourselves and our relationships.

Her book, The Attachment Theory Guide, was written on this topic and her Youtube channel often focuses on educating people on how to subconsciously reprogram this area of their lives.

After overcoming her own challenges with addiction in her early years, Thais is profoundly determined to educate people on how they can reprogram painful or limiting programs in their own mind. She is focused on helping people retrain their brain to achieve relationship fulfillment, abundance, and personal freedom in their lives.

TOPICS

• The difference between a limiting belief and a limiting program.
• The four attachment styles.
• How our early childhood experiences with attachment affect our subconscious minds.
• How we can retrain our mind to transform any limiting program in each of the seven areas of life.
• How busy professionals can use this knowledge to get closer to that ever-elusive work-life balance.

5 Questions Segment

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I meditate every morning for 20 minutes. Then I spend 5-10 minutes journaling and setting my intentions for the day. In the evening I spend another hour before bed, twenty minutes meditating, and 40 minutes journaling with anything that I want to focus on and fine-tune.

Q2. What's your definition of Success? My definition of success is happiness! What brings you joy in your life. What do you want to create in the seven areas of your life? Then when you are taking action and you feel fulfilled then you know you are in success because your emotions are giving you that feedback.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? My definition of happiness or fulfillment is when we are really clear about what our personal needs are and they are being met, our cups are full.

Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I would have known a little bit earlier to be more compassionate and gentle towards myself.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? You can be so focused on the mindset of achievement and getting ahead that you can lose a little bit of the relationship to yourself. If we don't take time to care for ourselves then eventually we are forced to take time away from our career to give time to your physical health that has been neglected, or to your relationships that are falling apart. Balance across all seven areas of life is key to having long term success.

5 Questions Segment

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? In the evening, I enjoy sitting out in the backyard with our 5-year-old boxer named Arlo and throwing his flying squirrel (toy) over and over and over again for him. It's quite meditative, actually.

Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, success is recognizing that I've inspired a change that lasts and reaches beyond my own reality or sphere of existence. Having made a difference in the world that lasts outside of yourself, to me, that's a success.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? For me, happiness is about contentment and feeling generally good about where you are in life. Enjoying the moment, enjoying the people around you, and taking pleasure in just being there.

Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I've really come to appreciate the work that you all do in the military. It's been a real pleasure to get to know the people behind the uniforms. I used to be intimidated to talk to people in uniform and now I enjoy it so much, I wish I would have known 10 years ago not to be so worried about having those conversations.

And my silly answer is that ten years ago I wish I would have known that you don't have to wear heels to conferences!

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today?

Creating space and enjoyment in the little moments in life. In the long term managing the frustration that can build up when we realize that the projects and tasks we take on always take longer to complete than we anticipate.

This week, I talk with John Stoj about personal finance around navigating life, career transitions, and being a stay at home dad! We discuss how to find a personal investor and the questions to ask in order to keep more of your money in your pocket.

Favorite quotes of the episode: "The first question you should ask is, 'How are you paid?' Something like 85% of advisors don't even list how they are paid, so it's very opaque. The second question is, 'How much in total advisory fees and investment costs will I pay?'"

"The most important thing is saving, investing, planning your financial life versus picking a stock, or a set of stocks."

"Simply being invested in the market can contribute up to 84% of your returns over time."

Episode Overview

In this episode, I talk with John Stoj. After years of climbing the Wall Street corporate ladder, John, a financial advisor became disillusioned with false promises of outperforming the market. He eventually started a sushi delivery company only to return to his first love – financial planning. But this time, things are different. With Verbatim Financial, John's gone rogue with his pricing model and is applying his decades of experience & personal touch to help clients simplify their financial lives. John believes sincerely that, done well and delivered fairly, good financial advice is more valuable than its cost and worth buying. Unfortunately, he knows first-hand that banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies, etc. do not have their customers' best interests in mind – they have their profits in mind.

TOPICS

• What was it like to go from managing an investment portfolio of almost $4billion, being wined and dined by wall street, to starting your own business and becoming an entrepreneur then transitioning again to be a stay at home dad?
• Career Transitions and re-entering the workforce.
• How can small business owners defend themselves against wall street while still getting professional financial advice without breaking the bank?
• What are some things to watch out for when looking to hire a financial advisor for individuals and for small businesses?
• Fee-only, fiduciary, assets under management, passive vs. active management, and what do these terms mean?
• John Bogel's philosophy and how it applies now.

5 Questions Segment

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? It's our coffee! The alarm goes off at about 4:40 every morning, I make the coffee, and my wife and I watch 30 minutes of mindless TV in the morning before she heads into the hospital for work.

Q2. What's your definition of Success? If I'm helping folks and I'm contributing in some fashion and I'm getting paid for it, that's my definition of success.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? My definition of happiness is not needing to worry about my family.

Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I wish I would have known the markets would have recovered as quickly as they did. I would not have left the markets or gone conservative.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Work-Life Balance!

In this episode, I talk with Shaunestte Terrell. She is an attorney on the Sexual Abuse Litigation Team at Cohen & Malad

Shaunestte brings years of experience prosecuting crimes of rape, child molest, human trafficking, and other crimes against protected persons.

As the sole Deputy Prosecutor handling sex trafficking in Indianapolis, Shaunestte frequently participated in undercover investigations which she then prosecuted in state court or referred to the United States Attorney's Office.

Considered the subject matter expert in sexual assault and domestic violence for Indiana's 91 elected Prosecuting Attorneys, Shaunestte developed state-wide prosecutor-based preventive law programs and developed curriculums for trial advocacy and substantive courses specific to these subject matters.

Shaunestte served as Chairperson of the Indiana Sexual Assault Response Team Advisory Council, Chairperson of the Governor's Council on Domestic Violence Prevention & Treatment, on the Indiana Supreme Court's Domestic Violence Advisory Council, and the Indiana Protection for Abused and Trafficked Humans Task Force, amongst others.

She's also the host of the Support for Survivors Podcast.

5 Questions Segment

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I'm an evening person so when I leave the office at night I make sure I have my list of priorities for the next day. Once I get into the office, I get my coffee, I do a morning meditation, then I get to work on that list of priorities.

Q2. What's your definition of Success? For me, I think success is just trying to figure out what you love to do and then be your very best at that.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? I think it centers around two things, an overall sense of purpose and wellbeing of your life, the big picture items, and then some of the more fleeting emotions, joy, and contentment, and it's going to ebb and flow throughout life.

Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? How little it really matters what anyone else thinks about you. Your own opinion is the most important.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Work-Life balance can be extremely difficult. It can be really easy for work to take over and you need to do what you need to do to recharge.

"Being mindful about our food. In its simplest form, being mindful means being aware of when we are hungry and honoring our hunger when we can. Being mindful when you are starting to get full, being mindful when you are full, and then stopping eating at that time and hopefully having satiety because you've eaten something that you really like."

"Yo-yo dieting is what can disrupt your internal hunger regulatory system."

"Intuitive eating is recognizing hunger-fullness-satiety."

Favorite quotes of the episode:

"What stands in our way, is the conflict between who we really are and our need to survive."

"I need to find a better way to be successful and not so driven by this identity I have for myself."

"What do you value, what do you want, and are they aligned?"

"I'm a big proponent of being who we are every step of the way, and not just saying that when I get there then, I can be happy, or let my guard down or enjoy life."

"Most of life, as we know it, is of our own creation as far as how we interpreted the things that have happened."

"Perfect is all that is and all that is not. All we have is now. It's like that saying, yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery and that's why the present is a gift."

Favorite quotes of the episode: "One thing I say to business owners right now is that we are consumers too. We are balancing personal and business finances through rough waters. I recommend preserving cash as much as possible."

"The most important thing you can do with personal credit, make sure you don't have late payments on your credit report. If you have to carry a balance for a bit, then once we get through this, you can pay off that debt."

"Don't feel bad about taking advantage of deferments right now, it might be a way to help preserve cash flow during these tough times."

"Keep up with your financial system and accounts right now, run your business numbers every month."

"What is essential? What do I really need? It's a great question to revisit from time to time in both our personal and professional lives."

Episode Overview

In this episode, I talk with Gerri Detweiler. Gerri has more than 20 years of experience guiding individuals through the confusing world of credit and has earned a reputation as a reliable and independent source on personal and small business credit.

She serves as Education Director for Nav, the only site to give business owners free access to credit reports from all three major commercial credit bureaus and tools to build financially healthy companies, where she develops educational programs and content for entrepreneurs and works on advocacy issues.

A prolific writer, Gerri contributes regular columns to AllBusiness.com, Forbes, and Home Business Magazine. Her articles have also been featured on Yahoo!, MSN Money, ABCNews.com, CBSNews.com, NBCNews.com, The Today Show website, and many others.

She is also the author or co-author of five books, including her newest title, Finance Your Business: Get on the Financing Fast Track, co-authored with best-selling author and corporate attorney Garrett Sutton; and the free e-book Debt Collection Answers: How to Use Debt Collection Laws to Protect Your Rights.

Previously, Gerri hosted her own talk radio programs and she has been interviewed for more than 4,000 new stories including Dateline NBC, The New York Times, USA Today, and Reader's Digest. She has also appeared multiple times on Fox Business, CNN, and other nationally televised programs. A driven advocate for credit protections for business owners and consumers, Gerri has testified before Congress on the topic.

5 Questions Segment

Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? Learning that I'm not a morning person and giving myself permission to take that time to get my day going is really helpful to me.

Q2. What's your definition of Success? I feel successful and happy when I've helped someone.

Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? I am the happiest when I feel that I've been helpful, that's what motivates me.

Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? You can live with so much less than you think. I downsized dramatically about 3 years ago from a 2200 sq ft home to a tiny home. It's been an interesting process and something I wish I would have started earlier.

Q5. What do you think is the biggest issue facing busy professionals today? Distraction is mine and I would guess it's the same for a lot of us. We are constantly interrupted from so many different places. My favorite app to minimize distraction is Focus Booster.
