Continuing Education for Mental Health Counselors: Therapy Show with Lisa Mustard

When you turned 40 did you feel like your body gave you the finger? Because that happened to this episode's guest, Kim Barnes Jefferson. She knows what it's like. She's been in your shoes. You feel like you've been dieting for what feels like forever and you are OVER IT!

Here's the truth: We've all been programmed to believe that in order to lose weight, get fit, get healthy, you have to rigidly follow some particular program, meal plan or diet. Uggh!! You've believed for years that there is some magic blueprint program that you need to follow PERFECTLY if you want to have any results.

Kim understands as she spent years searching for that same damn plan only to find that she held the keys to the plan the entire time. In this Midlife Magic episode, Kim breaks it all down for us. She shares the keys to reaching our goals and the habits we need to create.

And if you can't take another Body Pump class, down another green juice or spend one more minute sweating it out on cardio, then you'll want to grab her Over 40 Healthy Living Guide: https://kimbarnesjefferson.lpages.co/over40guide

Before I jump into the intro for this episode, I wanted to share something that's been brewing within me for a while.

When I began podcasting, I wanted to focus on talk therapy topics and issues yet I'm also really passionate about another topic. And that is helping women live their best lives as they move into midlife. You may or may not know that when I hit 40, that's when I made the decision to start living my life differently. So for the past 7 years I've worked to live more authentically and congruentally.

And now I want to start bringing this information to the podcast! I'm lining up guests that will not only inspire you to see mid life differently but will also bring you the know how to do so.

I'm unsure yet if i will start a whole new podcast or rebrand this one. Podcasts are a lot of work and it's just me right now behind the scenes (well except for my audio engineer and editor, Laura and my website developer, Michael) so creating and producing 2 separate podcasts feels overwhelming yet also at the same time it feels possible. Right now I'm just hanging out in the land of possibilities. I hope you stay tuned to see and hear the upcoming shifts in my podcast world!

Here's my first shift and I'm so excited to share this week's interview with you all. It's the FIRST MidLife Magic podcast episode!

I titled it Strength At Any Age With Dani Shugart for a few reasons:

Number one, I truly believe that you can acquire strength at any age. While in this episode we are talking about strength gained in the weight room, we also talk about how finding the weight room has given us both self confidence and physical and mental strength, two things my guest and I both were looking for in our younger years. And finding the weights helped us tremendously in these areas.

Number two, research has shown us that there are incredible benefits of building muscle such as improving balance, reducing the likelihood of falls, improving blood-sugar control, and improving sleep and mental health. The average person starts losing muscle as early as age 25. And From 40 to 70 years old, muscle loss averages 8 percent per decade and then accelerates to 15 percent after age 70. Our eventual physical decline is inevitable, but the more muscle we have when our bodies start rapidly breaking down, the longer we can last with our physical function.

I often get asked why I'm so crazy about telling people to hit the weight room. It's not because i want to look good naked, that's a byproduct of wanting to increase my confidence and put off my physical decline as long as possible! I want longevity and quality of life!!

And when I decided I wanted to talk about this on my first episode of Midlife Magic, I headed straight to my friend Dani Shugart.

Dani Shugart is an editor for T-Nation.com, a lifetime natural lifter, and co-host of the Fit Pants podcast.

Dani shares her story on finding the weight room, how progress in the weight room has built her confidence, why consistency and accountability are keys to reaching your goals, how to get into fitness if you're brand new as well as how to get back into fitness if you've fallen out.

Plus we talk about tips for growing muscle in midlife, why assessing your efforts for effectiveness is important, and reassessing your efforts if it's not getting you to your goals.

Listen to the Fit Pants podcast here.

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Bill O'Hanlon is a Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist, author, and speaker. He co-developed Solution-Oriented Therapy, has authored or co-authored over 39 books (ranging from brief therapy for various clinical topics to those about publishing and now song writing). He is also a musician who plays guitar and writes country music. And yes, he was also on Oprah with his book, Do One Thing Different.

In this episode, Bill talks about meeting Dr. Milton Erickson for the first time and why a story about African Violets completely shifted how Bill viewed problems, how he disrupted the psychotherapy field with his approach to talk therapy, how he got onto Oprah, and his love for writing country music.

And stay till the end because he sings us a song.

I get a little teary at times throughout this interview. Bill doesn't mean to make me cry but his passion and energy remind me why I decided to become a therapist in the first place...to live in the land of possibilities and solutions and to help others do the same.

I'm so grateful for the time he gave me and I really enjoyed this chat. We hope you do as well!

After over 15 years of being in the field of psychotherapy, Lee Chaix McDonough decided to pivot and shift her skill set after a major life transition. When they moved from Germany back to the US after her husband retired from the military and he bought a dental practice, she decided to press pause on her professional career to help her family transition to civilian life and to assist her husband in growing his business.

As she immersed herself in understanding the mindset of owning and running a business, she became more and more interested in combining her strengths of intuitive work and coaching. From there, she started her coaching business: Coach with Clarity.

Lee is the CEO and Founder of Coach With Clarity, a business coaching and training company. She became credentialed as a coach through the International Coach Federation and now provides ICF-accredited continuing coach education for intuitive, heart-centered coaches. She is also the host of the Coach with Clarity podcast and author of the #1 Amazon book, ACT On Your Business: Braving the storms of entrepreneurship and creating success through meaning, mindset, and mindfulness.

In this week's episode, Lee discusses how she got started, how coaching is different than counseling, things you need to consider if you want to add coaching to your services, why it's important to niche down and define your audience, and do you really need a coaching certification? Lee covers these points and much more!
