This is the process I use that really helps when good old 'perfectionist triggered self blame' rises up! I like to journal it out but you can think it out or talk it out with a trusted being, like your dog! I made this into a downloadable worksheet, too, in case you want to keep the process handy.

We need to talk about this. If you're in your 40s-50s (ish) you most likely are/will be helping your aging parents or another relative or neighbor ... 48 million Americans are already doing this. And it's freaking stressful because all families are dysfunctional families, then adding an illness and different opinions about how to help onto the dysfunction.... it's just a lot. Let's get this conversation going and get empowered!

What the heck do we mean by REAL? Let's get into it! This episode lays out the framework of Real World Real Health ... what your real world truly means, what real health actually represents for YOU, and how we are going to move toward real health while we still take care of our kids and our aging parents. And guess what? Real health doesn't have a dang thing to do with how we look. But it has a heckuva lot to do with how we feel. Once we know how we want our bodies, minds, and spirits to feel...then we can use simple practices to get into that good feeling place more and more often! 

Let's do this!

Small Tiny Practices are bonus episodes that give us thoughtful self-care breaks and extra moments of peace. Just a few minutes of listening can re-align your whole day. This episode is a simple guided meditation for people who can't meditate.

In this episode I share my story and the experiences that led me to push record for this podcast. Then we talk about ways the Real World Real Health community is going to empower us to live our best (mid)life!
