Imagine Yourself Podcast

What do you want to be known for? It’s an interesting and profound question to ask yourself. In this mini-episode, a follow-up to our last episode with Coach and Consultant Heather Wolfson,  Opening the Door to What's Next in Your Life, we did just that. Many of us are investigating or full-out heading into new opportunities right now; but are we asking ourselves the right questions and making the right preparations before we jump in? Is it going to serve our values and enhance what we want to be known for? In this episode, we used what we learned from Heather and took an honest look at this for ourselves. Our goal is to help you learn to do the same. Plus, we have a few tips to help you zoom in on the next right step in your journey.

Do you want to learn the art of being able to pivot in life?

For those of us who are motivated to do things differently this year, we invite you to listen in to our guest Heather Wolfson, CEO and Lead Strategist of Maven Coaching and Consulting as she gives us a few pointers on how to redefine our roles, refocus our vision, and reimagine the benefits of taking a risk.

Part of setting healthy boundaries involves those you set with yourself. When we interviewed coach Leslie Hoerner in our last podcast titled Finding Balance Through Boundaries, one of the topics that came up was saying no to ourselves. It had a big personal impact on us both because we had typically thought setting boundaries was all about pointing outward. While setting boundaries definitely includes (and maybe even emphasizes) our relationships and how may need to set limits with others, it’s also about those “no’s” we have to say to ourselves. Of  course doing that is not usually easy; but Leslie gave us some sound strategies to help. This episode is what happened when we followed Leslie’s tips. Hopefully, it helps you too!

Balance is a tricky thing to achieve because it looks different for each person.  However, there’s one thing that forges balance for everyone, and that’s a set of well-defined boundaries. If you take a look at your cellphone “Settings,” you’ll see that there’s an array of choices that range from “Downtime,” “App Limits,” “Content & Privacy Restrictions,” and “Always Allowed.” This week’s episode shows us how to incorporate our own set of limits and allowances in order to strike a perfect balance.

Who better to help us on our journey than our guest from Better Than Balanced,  Leslie Hoerner, Self-Love Empowerment Coach. She took time to teach us how to weigh an important asset we own:  the power to say yes and no in our home life, work life, community life, and even to ourselves. Opening the doors to certain activities, people, places, and opportunities while closing the doors to others is the master key to a life of balance. We’re all different, and it’s time to be honest with ourselves and give ourselves permission to be who we are and put an end to who we are not. If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends or struggling because you’re too afraid to try a new thing, then this episode is dedicated to you. 

Leslie has actionable steps to help minimize the drama associated with saying no when we need to, even when it’s a no to ourselves.  Listen in as we learn to activate our individual balance and boundaries meter.

Is judging in and of itself a bad thing? Is there a difference between judging and being judgmental? Does one automatically lead to the other?  What about the judgmental tape that rolls in our heads? 

We are here to shine the light on our own judgmental thinking.  Judgmental words, actions and attitudes are easy to spot in the world around us. They are in our house, neighborhood and online. However, the “Judgy McJudger” within ourselves can be sneakier and harder to pinpoint. In fact,  much of if the judging we do may be  unconscious. 

We get it. There's a time and a place for judging.  We also are not saying that there is no right and wrong. But there’s a fine line between that and stepping into the role of “I, Judgy McJudger, am here to judge you!”

This is a heavy topic, and we don’t have the game mastered yet, but we promise complete transparency. You’ll hear Lanee’s story of how her judgmental attitude ruined some of her relationships in college and Sandy’s attempt to escape mom-judgement that led to a prayer that produced scary but ultimately life-changing results. Plus we have strategies and tips on how to do a better job of enjoying life, others, and ourselves while ditching most of the negative, judgy thoughts and behaviors.

It’s not like we’re judging you, but you really ought to listen to our podcast

What does it take to be in love with and stay in love with the person of your dreams? Spoiler alert: it takes more than just a magical kiss from a stranger who claims to be your one true love! 

Finding true love and holding onto that love is deep and complex but not impossible. We decided to bring in an expert on the subject to help us define how much of this process starts with us.

 Our Guest, Mary Lewis is the Author of The Princess Chronicles, Happily Ever After:  A Journey to Love. She makes sure to balance those fairy tale ideals with some practical advice by focusing on wholeness, self-discovery, and one’s purpose. She shines a spotlight on the fact that lasting love requires a good, long, realistic look at oneself and one’s past. She beautifully outlines the exact areas that tend to trip us up while also providing the precise ways to prevent those pitfalls.  If you’re looking for or already in a relationship, and if you’re ready for the truth, mixed with grace and love, then this is the episode for you. 

 Laugh a little and learn a little as we share our personal love stories and listen to the steps and strategies from Mary Lewis’ book.

Raise your hand if you want to have an “ageless” body! What if we told you the key to an ageless body is an ageless mindset?  

 Here’s the skinny:  sometimes, we get overwhelmed with messages that bombard us about dieting and fasting and planks and crunches and Stairmasters and Anti-Aging Serums. Some days we would rather roll over and give in to excuses vs. exercise and Nutter Butters vs. Nutrition.

 This is when we all need someone like Nate Wilkins, Founder of Ageless Workout, to step in and help us out! Even the Ageless Workout’s vision statement encourages everyone to stay “centered on taking back and owning their lives at the core level of playing, having fun, learning, loving, connecting and living a better lifestyle through health, fitness and healing.” 

 This episode taught us so much about how to stay fit and fabulous while living a life full of vibrant vitality!

 Click and listen as the guru, Nate Wilkins, teaches us all about the choices, changes, and commitments we’ll need to make in order to get our minds and bodies in tip top shape, because we’ve still got a long life to live with this ageless body!

What areas of your life need a tweak, a pivot, a change? How flexible are you willing to be to reach a place of peace? What if innovation is the key to success? Maybe it’s time to play a new tape in your brain. Time to sing a new song. Time to try new things. Go at your own pace, and you might actually like the new developments in your life, love, career, health, faith, and finances.

 Here’s a simple analogy. If you want to get your truck down the highway, higher gears are required for higher speeds so you don’t blow your engine! The same thing, if you want to make it all the way down the highway of life, a next-level gear is required to live a next-level life so you don’t blow your engine! 

Award-winning author, Octavia Butler, said it best, “All that you touch, you change. All that you change changes you. The only lasting truth is change.”

Welcome to Season 3 at Imagine Yourself Podcast! Make sure to subscribe so that you don’t miss new episodes. Hope you like our new logo, new topics, and new look as we decided to practice what we preach when it comes to the topic of change. 

Listen to the full episode to find out what that one little thing is that will change and transform your life for the better!
