In this episode of Conversations Over Coffee, Susan invites listeners to take a pause and reflect: Are your daily habits pushing you toward the life you desire—or pulling you away from it? From the smallest routines to the choices we make without thinking, our habits shape the outcomes of our lives. Susan shares real-life insights and asks honest questions to help you examine the patterns you’ve accepted, the ones you’ve ignored, and the ones you may need to change.

Change is inevitable, and resisting it only holds us back. Embracing a growth mindset means retraining our brains to accept change, learning how to pivot, and overcoming the fear that keeps us from moving forward. In today’s world—where politics, society, and global events are shifting in unprecedented ways—it is crucial to develop adaptability without compromising our dignity and beliefs.To navigate these changes, we must remain open-minded, seek understanding, and find common ground without losing our core values. Growth comes from learning, adjusting, and embracing challenges rather than fearing them. Change will happen regardless of our readiness; the key is to approach it with resilience, curiosity, and the willingness to evolve.

HOW ARE YOU DOING LIFE? The young people say, Life Be Lifing". I recently read an article that said if you don't make time for your wellness, you will make time for your illness. These words stood out in my mind as a great conversation over coffee. We know how important a doctor's appointment can be, but what about the walks in the park and time with the grandkids? Trending right now is the conversation that seniors who spend time with their grandkids live 37% longer. I'm also reading a book my sister gave me, 'Doing Life: Reflections of men and women serving life sentences '. This book, while not directly about wellness, is a powerful reminder of the importance of mental, physical, and emotional fitness in 'doing life'-a term used to describe the act of living fully and purposefully. It may seem like I'm all over the place with my thoughts, but I'm not. The conclusion of my thoughts ends here. How are you doing life? The book is a compilation of stories of men and women who are doing life without the possibility of parole. While that is another conversation in and of itself, the point is that to endure a life sentence or commitment, you must be mentally, physically, and emotionally fit. For everyone, regardless of where you spend your days, if you are unwilling to make time for your mental, physical, financial, and emotional wellness, your illness, metaphorically or realistically, will dictate the time you spend doing life.
