Less than 7 minutes. No excuses. Listen while moving your fine young assets! 

Have you ever wondered whether it's time to quit... or simply pivot?

In this short episode, Bethanne shares why changing direction isn't giving up—it's often the smartest move you can make.

You'll discover:

•  Why pivoting can be a power move, not a failure
•  The truth behind taking a pause—and how it might relate to your own life
• 3 Tiny Tweaks to help you recenter your energy when life feels off course

And a little life update...

Since recording this episode, I've chosen to chase one squirrel instead of many.

I've temporarily pressed pause on my podcast so I can pour my heart into my newest adventure:

📖 Adventures With Butchy: You Can't Chase Two Squirrels at Once

My very first children's book launches on September 1st—Butchy's 9th birthday! 🎉

Inspired by my retired racing Greyhound, Butchy (episode 6 in case you need a refresh,) the book shares 12ish Tiny Tweaks, BIG life lessons, lots of laughs, and a little more JOY for kids (and the grown-ups reading along).

Sometimes the greatest pivot isn't about quitting...

It's about choosing the squirrel that's meant for you.

*I'm aware that I made a numerical oopsie with the tweak counting, but isn't that the beauty of not having to be perfect as well as using the suffix "ish"?

Welcome back, JOYster! In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, I’m sharing life lessons straight from my brindle-coated, counter-surfing, couch-cuddling, stair-conquering retired racing Greyhound—Butch. That’s right, the 4-legged life coach who trotted into my world mid-pandemic and flipped it in the best way possible.

You’ll discover a few of my favorite lessons from Butch’s journey—everything from chasing squirrels (real and metaphorical) to healing fast, living full out, and reinventing yourself. Butch’s wisdom is for everyone, whether or not you’re a dog person.

Plus, you’ll pick up 10ish tiny but mighty tweaks inspired by Butch—from climbing stairs like a champ and easing into your car without moaning, to learning a new lingo, eating real food, and yes, slowing down that feeding frenzy. (Spoiler: You’re probably thirsty, not starving.)

Packed with humor, healing, and motivation, this episode will help you move, feel, and live with more JOY and less OY. Press play and remember—you can’t chase two squirrels at once.

So yeah… PAIN.
 It’s not just four annoying letters strung together.
 It’s a signal. A spark. A slap and a hug rolled into one.

And no, I didn’t coin the phrase PAIN is a gift—but now I truly believe it.
 Capital letters and all.
 Wanna know why it’s capitalized? You’ll find out.

Up until now, I’ve been as sweet as a slice of yummy peanut butter pie.
 But this episode?
 It’s the swift kick upside your (fine young) assets
 that even your doctor, your BFF, and your mirror are afraid to give you.
 But guess what? I’m not.
 Because someone’s gotta tell you the truth—JOYfully.

Keep listening. To your body. Your gut. Your gorgeous, glitchy, glorious self.
 This episode shows you how to do just that—how to actually listen to you.
Tiny Tweaks lead to big shifts.
And big shifts? They bring the JOY.

Now go move something. Feel something.
 And remember: You’re not broken.
 You’re becoming the full-fledged JOYster you are meant to be!
