The 8 Cow Life

Have you ever met a person who just oozes happiness and positivity? Well, if not you are in for a treat with my guest today. I interview the amazing Jeni Allen. Jeni and I have known each other for several years and I have stayed in touch with her via social media. Recently I noticed her many posts about an amazing new fitness class called “High Fitness”.

On the podcast today I talk with Jeni about what her experience has been in teaching “High” and the difference it has made in her individual life as well as her role as a mother. If you happen to live in the Portland, Oregon area, definitely go to her class.

High Fitness is taught throughout the United States and a link to their website it below so that you can find a class near you. I took my first class this last Saturday and LOVED IT! It was fast and fun and I left sweating. I will definitely be going back.

I think this is a great podcast to listen to in December. Just because it’s the holidays and busy, doesn’t mean that you can’t set goals for yourself this month and accomplish amazing things. Don’t wait until the New Year to set those life changing goals. Go H.I.G.H.!

Enjoy!

Unless you've been living under a rock somewhere, you are most likely very familiar with the story surrounding the birth of our Savior. There was a virgin, shepherds, wisemen, angels and gifts. We learn what we know from the accounts of Matthew and Luke. But their versions of the birth of the Savior are very different.

Come listen to what Joel has to say about the importance of both Matthew and Luke's accounts surrounding the Saviors birth and the different message each one is trying to convey. They are both important and essential to the role Christ plays in each of our lives.

Enjoy!

I talk a lot about the importance of coaching, because I’m a coach. Duh! I think everyone should have a coach and get coaching on a regular basis. Having someone who can look at your brain from a non-judgmental and neutral place is so helpful in showing you the way “out of the forest” if you will, that we all tend to get ourselves caught up in.

But just as important as having a coach is, it is equally important to learn how to self-coach. It’s a lot like having a personal trainer. They can only do so much for you. In order to see true and lasting results you have to be willing to put in the time and effort when you are away from them. Today on the podcast I give you three steps so that you can start self-coaching yourself and see amazing results in your life.

Also, since this is Cyber Monday, November 26th, 2018 I am offering hour long coaching sessions for FREE. So if you happen to be listening to this on the 26th, go and sign-up for an hour of FREE coaching. You won’t regret it. The link is below to my online schedule.

Have a great week!

We live in a world made up of boundaries. We have boundaries when it comes to the countries we live in, how we drive in traffic, how we decide on property ownership, and so much more. Boundaries create order and safety. They also allow for a lot of freedom that wouldn’t exist if boundaries didn’t exist.

But there is one area in our life that the majority of us lack in good boundary keeping skills - our thoughts. We think our thoughts just come and go and we have little control over them. On today’s podcast I give you a visual image of how to set up thought boundaries in your brain and then what you need to do to make sure you keep the good thoughts within bounds and the bad ones well outside of bounds.

This last week our family suffered a great loss with the passing of my father-in-law. He was one of the best men I have ever met and leaves behind a legacy of so many amazing traits and qualities. I am honored and humbled to be one of his daughter-in-laws and to know that his life will forever shape that of my husband and children.

Today I share some of the most significant things he leaves behind as his legacy to the posterity that comes after him. I hope his legacy will inspire you to shape and develop your own legacy. Your legacy is something that you can decide on now and start living today. What will it be? What do you want to pass on and be remembered for in generations to come? Legacies happen no matter what, but you can be deliberate in your shaping of the one you leave. I am excited to work on mine more intentionally. After listening today, I hope you are too.

It's the first Monday in November so that means I am interviewing a woman in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who is going after a passion outside of motherhood and boy are you in for a treat today - literally.

Today I am excited to share with you the wisdom of Melissa Kimball owner and founder of "For the Love of Cake" a home baking business that Melissa started just 4 short months ago where she turned a hobby of making cakes for her kid's birthdays into a part-time business. This is a great podcast for anyone thinking of going after something like this but Melissa's wisdom and insight reaches far beyond buttercream and fondant.

Come have a listen and then be sure to go to my website to take a look at all her amazing cakes. You can also find Melissa on Facebook at the following link:https://www.facebook.com/melissakaykimball/

Today Joel and I discuss the change made by Russell M. Nelson for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to go from three hours of church to two hours. Joel puts me on the hot seat to get my impressions as a mother and woman in the church with the changes this will bring. It was a great discussion and I hope you enjoy!

Everywhere you look nowadays, people are on their phones. Have you ever left home and discovered you didn’t have your phone and you felt panic well up inside you? We are addicted to them and all the apps that come with them.

Recently, President Russell M. Nelson asked the women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to take a 10 day social media fast. I have linked to his entire address below. Today I share the insights I gained by taking this fast and the lessons I am taking forward as I have re-entered the digital world of social media.

If you have taken the fast yourself, I’d love to hear what you learned by writing to me at [email protected] and if you haven’t yet done the fast, I highly encourage you to do so. It is something that will only benefit your life.

Have a great week and enjoy!

If you want to get anything in your life done and do it in away that fosters more love and respect for yourself and those around you, you need to start dividing it into "Interruptible" and Uninterruptible" time frames. I have started doing this myself and it has made a huge difference in how I view my time when I work and when I'm with my family.

Come have a listen to why I think every mom needs to be working under these time frames and how it not only helps you in accomplishing your goals but how it helps you be the best mom you can be and teach your children a valuable lesson on how to respect their time as well as others.

Enjoy!

We often hear in the news that the earth does not have enough space or resources to accommodate the ever growing world population. While that is really a discussion for another day, I think far too many women already feel like the world doesn’t need them and that their place on earth is insignificant.

Today I talk about why you are most definitely allowed to take up space and steps you can implement that will allow you to start believing that. I have no doubt in my mind surrounding the truthfulness of this concept.

Enjoy!
