Talking Smack 415

In this episode of Talking Smack 415, Jamie the Great and I interview a hospice nurse.  We keep it funny and real as we chat about everything from constipation to end-of-life care.  We get advice on how to navigate if you're in the sandwich generation. Spoiler alert - talk to your parents now about a living will and what they want to happen when they get ill.  Which is a perfect segue for Jamie the Great to plug her husband's business.   Reach out to us if you need an attorney to help your parents with their will. 

We chat about the moment of transition and how you leave this life how you lived it.  

We had lots of sound issues while recording which led to a little on-mic bickering that we kept in for you because we keep it real.  

Please share this episode with a friend who is going through this right now.   It is insightful and served up with laughter and friendship to feed your soul.

In this episode of Talking Smack 415, I speak with Jamie Greenwood.  Jamie is a coach, speaker, and facilitator, who loves a Nooworks jumpsuit, bold lip, and curly hair as much as I do.  Plus, she teaches and coaches high achieving, big-dreaming women to reconnect with themselves & place care at the center of their lives.   

She is an eating-disordered survivor, lives with two little kids a 13-year-old bonus child and colitis, and has faced divorce.

We talk smack about her divorce and go deep into other topics you are going to love like:

• The conflict of knowing not knowing things in your life.  Because if you know it will blow up your life. 
• Staying silent to keep other people happy. 
• How you can support a friend going through a divorce. 
• Moments in life where you get reorganized.
• How not telling the truth to yourself is the missing piece of care. 
• Instead of brutal honesty, practice loving honesty.  Which is truth with love and compassion and tenderness.   

And,  listen to the end where we talk smack about Burning Man. 

Jamie teaches a class that sounds awesome called, Quit your Shoulds for Good.
