Our Empty Nest and Doing Life With Your Adult Children

For me as a Dad I sensed this empty nest state would equate freedom, my wife Jen has a different take on this - everything and everyone revolved around Jen with the kids here - she knew her role in all of our lives (mine included) now that keep the plates spinning season is over, and it feels strange.

I heard our guest on another podcast and he was talking to our situation - he had such wisdom and a heart for what we are living and I had to have him on - and to my great surprise and delight he said, yes!

EPISODE 84 -

We get the best legal advice yet from James Voigt - what kind of advice?  How about how to give your 2 weeks notice before going solo - how to build something before you quit your job.  By investing in yourself and growing who you are, you can gain clarity as to your next step in your career and in your life!

Author of Going Solo - Leveling the Playing Field in Professional Services

That nagging voice in your head is probably right.

I am not on a crusade to convince everyone to go solo. My crusade is to reach those who want to go solo but are afraid to try to pull it off.

Jim Voigt had had the spirit of a solo professional from a young age, starting his first business "Corporate Start-Ups" at the age of 14. After a successful career in sales, Jim turned to law and put his sales skills to work building a strong book of business. But traditional employment never "clicked" and Jim longed for more freedom both financially and personally. His transition to solo practice went well, but he saw other solo professionals struggle. He wanted to help.

Going Solo is the result of his research into the struggles and successes of his own career and those professionals he met along his journey. Jim now brings his practical message of the attainability of solo freedom to others who feel trapped in traditional firms or underperforming solo practices.

EPISODE 79 -

Dr. Orlena Kerek - Pediatric doctor turned family health advocate and author - I'm going to show you how to make healthy living fun and easy so you can lose weight, get more energy and love your amazing life. I help ambitious mums have bucket loads of energy and overcome the frustration of not losing weight by teaching them to eat and be healthy, to look after themselves and feel fit and fabulous.

I'm here to show you it can be easy to lead a healthy life, wake up every morning full of energy and ready to take on the day!

And if weight is an issue for you, I'll show you how to ditch the yo-yo dieting and enjoy a healthy relationship with delicious, tasty and healthy food.

I worked as a doctor in the UK. It broke my heart to see so many sick people in hospital dying of “lifestyle disease” that could have been prevented with a healthy lifestyle.

I moved to Spain in 2011 because I wanted to lead my “ideal life”. I moved away from clinical practice to helping families establish healthy habits. What I love is seeing changes in families and knowing that I’m helping people lead long healthy lives and avoid all those nasty lifestyle illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and even some cancers.

EPISODE 76 -

Our guest today is Alison Tedford is an author, consultant and a mom. I’m Indigenous (Kwakiutl First Nation) and based in Abbotsford, BC. I have over a decade of government experience contributing to culturally sensitive data storytelling, policy analysis and program development and seven years of private sector experience creating information products that educate, inform and delight.

I’ve helped entrepreneurs, governments and brand leaders design their visions of inclusion, strategize about how to get there with practical, concrete action and find the words to talk about it. I create an inviting space where questions are encouraged and welcome and that allows for growth and experimentation.

Doing Good and Telling Better Stories
I take an intersectional approach and collaborate with non-profits and businesses that honour that Black, Trans and Indigenous Lives Matter, that disability access is a right not a privilege and that further the equality of women. I believe in creating an affinity based on shared values to create a committed community instead of driving action through fear, pity and shame.

The Right Words At The Right Time
I believe in telling stories that centre the strength of communities that are served, sharing perspectives respectfully, through consent-based practices and in a way that’s culturally sensitive. The best way we can respect our partners, the people who benefit from social impact work, is to share about these collaborations in a way that is anti-exploitative, does not centre narratives of saviorism and protects the dignity of all involved.
