we just need to be human beings.  making connections with others keeps us healthy. listen in

time of transitions. 

where are you on your path?  do you look forward to the summer turning into fall?  Or not so much.  There is no wrong answer. There is an opportunity tho.  Learning to be present in the moment can make a huge difference on how your day goes.  acceptance is a big word.  It doesn't mean you accept what is going on but that it is going on whether you like it or not.  Letting go of expectations of what to accept can be a life changer. 

This is just a start.  I took a hard look at myself mostly after I talked to you.  Found some interesting things about myself You never know 

I know I usually am upbeat and share good things.  but in this episode Im being very vulnerable, honest and a woman.  The United States of America went back 50 years.  Roe vs Wade is about a a woman to make decisions about her own body and reproductive life.  Ive Never had an abortion and not sure what my decision would have been if I had been in a crisis in my life.   The whole point is that women are being shackled AGAIN.  and women are doing this to other women.  of course its a political thing.  I am learning more and more about this subject.  if you are in a crisis please call your physician or planned parent hood to help you.  The bottom line is abortions will happen no matter where a woman is or if they are legal or not.  It's a point of safety at this time.  That's all.   

What is your take or understanding on Mental Health?  Everyone has mental health and its not what you think it is.  Every day life involves how you react or respond.   In this episode I repeat again that I am a "reactor"  (sounds nuclear doesn't it.!) vs a responder.   My daily life involves practice with my meditation and breathing necklace.    I didn't know what I was feeling was anxiety.  Mostly just apprehension or trying to be in control of others.  It wasn't them, it was me.  Listen in 

NOTE". I changed the date.  I have wanting to do my part to help my fellow compadres in the healthcare field. We all have taken a hit. I really want a shout out to all who have stayed the time and worked relentlessly even when you didn't want to.  Please seek a therapist or someone you trust if you find yourself in a greater need.   Love you all Jan

Its also Colorrecetal cancer awareness month.  Kim and I discuss the journey her husband has gone thru.  Hopefully to those listening, we can help prevent that,  Along with it being Womens Health and Wellness month, once again I encourage you to just take a walk,  Walking especially outside, clears your mind and really separates what is important to you and what doesn't matter.  try it. it work 

I know I said in the beginning of this episode. "how is your summer going".  Im putting the cart in front of the horse here.  I think I really really wanted it to be summer.  In the long run I don't want to hurry it along.  I came to the realization that when we want something that is in the future, we aren't partaking in the present.  And wanting the future is asking for others lives to change really quick.  sometimes we just need to be where we are. If by wanting it to be Friday for instance I might hasten something bad that will happen. It really doesn't matter as time is time and it won't happen anyways unless we live in a distopian world.  

I had a great opportunity to share my weds walk with Jan and Pepper with my good friend Stacey.  We met while we both worked together at a hospital then she moved up the ladder.  I also became her Optavia coach but most importantly we became friends.  We share the love of helping people along with having dogs to walk with.  Stacey became a mother for the 2nd time and remember what it was like to not get sleep.  listen in and see if anything resonates with you.
