Conversations On Life, Work, And Love

This week coaches Bonnie Blackstone and Remi Gibbs talk about getting back on track when you fall off the wagon. Blow your diet? Start fresh tomorrow. Quit exercising? Put your athletic shoes next to your bed so they are the first thing you see in the morning. Schedule your activities into your calendar. Just start!

Coaches Bonnie Blackstone and Remi Gibbs discuss how to manage your stress and prioritize your self-care during the holidays. Start with making an honest assessment of your situation, physically, emotionally, and financially. Protect your peace and make good choices for yourself.

Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours! Please enjoy this encore presentation of Lessons In Gratitude.

Life can often come at you hard somedays! We know the benefits of living in a state of mindfulness and acceptance. But, what about those days when you just can't seem to find it within? 

Join hosts Bonnie and Remi on this week's episode for a deep dive into "Gratitude". What does it mean? What are the benefits? And, how do I create a daily gratitude practice? From the smallest enjoyment - a quiet morning, good coffee, comfortable bed, to the greatest appreciation - a loving partner, good friends, a job you love... learn to recognize them and reflect upon them to find joy, purpose, abundance and appreciation everyday!

This week coaches Bonnie Blackstone and Remi Gibbs talk about having the blues and what to do to pull yourself out of them. So much came up in this conversation. Self-care is always the biggest thing we find to be sliding when things go to hell. When you are taking care of yourself things just seem to go better overall. They talk about the importance of accepting and surrendering and just how important it is to have a supportive, non-judgmental community of people to share your struggles and triumphs with.

This week coaches Bonnie Blackstone and Remi Gibbs had a great conversation with financial coach Judy Easley-Marshall. The discussion centered around what to do with your finances when retirement is on the horizon. Most of us aren't rich and we weren't taught how to save for retirement, because our parents didn't generally have to with pensions. Judy's top suggestions are to start with your debt, max out your 401K to the match point from your employer and/or invest in a Roth IRA, invest in mutual funds, and get a side hustle if you need extra funds to pay off debt or contribute to your savings. We have to be real with ourselves about our financial situation, stop being afraid, and build a strategy to get us where we need to go. And lastly, make sure to celebrate your successes!
