017 So excited to bring the author of How to Pay Off Your Mortgage in Five Years.  Natali and her husband's mission are to help families run their wealth building like a business.

Natali's money mindsets literally have changed the trajectory of our family's financial future.  We are soul sisters in this respect and our family have 100% used the strategies that Natali shares.

• Your family is a business whether you like it or not.  
• You can only save so much, but the amount you can make is infinite.
• Why you need to own geese and why the "nest egg" is pointless.

016 It's really possible your most important conversations without blowing up your relationship.  Today I uncover how to calm others and yourself when you feel like the convo gets out of control and so much more from one of my fave books, Crucial Conversations by Patterson, Grenny, McMillan and Switzler.

 

Key takeaways:

• Keep it safe.
• Focus on what you really want out of the relationship.
• Refocus brain on a problem to bring it out of fight or flight and into problem solving.
• Fools choice:
  • Speak up - make an enemy
  • Suffer in silence while a bad decision is made
• Learn to dialogue where what you say is a 100% honest and respectful
• Key:  Keep it Safe
• Start with the Heart:
  • When you're under attack, your heart changes
• Focus on what you want:
  • Refocus your brain
  • Our motives unconsciously change when adrenaline pumping
  • Brain goes into fight and flight
  • Refocus brain on a problem to solve to get out of fight or flight
• What do I really want for myself?
  • For others?
  • For this relationship?
  • How would I behave if I want these results?
• Refuse the fools choice and instead
• Look for the "AND"
  • Clarify what you really want.
  • Clarify what you really don't want.
  • Present your brain with a complex problem.

Make it Safe:  How to Talk About Almost Anything

• Step out.  Make it Safe.  Step in.
  • Step out:  remove from what is being said
  • Return to start with the heart
• Which condition is at risk?
  • Win:Win
  • Mutual purpose
  • Respect someone through empathy
• What to do once you step out:
• • Change the heart.
  • Confirm mutual purpose.
  • Brainstorm new strategies.
  • Apologize.
  • Contrast.
  • Create a mutual purpose:  C.R.I.B.
•  
  • Change the heart.
• Make It Safe:  How to Talk about Almost Anything

• What to do once you step out?
  • Change the heart.
  • Do:  confirm mutual respect and purpose
  • Use as prevention or first aid
  • Commit to seek mutual purpose out loud/publicly
  • Recognize the purpose behind the strategy 
    • Often people stuck on the mode, define the purpose.
  • Invent a mutual purpose:  higher or longer term
  • Brainstorm new strategies.
  • Apologize when appropriate:
  • Contrast to fix misunderstanding:
  • Create a mutual purpose: C.R.I.B.

015 Dr.: "Has anyone told you you have a prolapsed organ?"

Me: "What?" Dr.: "Yes, I can see it." Me: "WHAT? What organ are you seeing???" Dr.: "It's either your uterus or bladder." Me: "What?!?" . 7 months earlier I'd started experiencing aching pain in my hip area. Andrew was 5 months old & I'd started upping my workouts. I hadn't been as cautious rebuilding my core after Andrew, but my pain didn't seem directly correlated to my workouts.  .

• I'd seen my OB for a 6 week pelvic exam.
• So, I saw my primary care physician.  Stopped working out for 6 weeks in case it's a hernia. The pain was still there. It wasn't a hernia.
• My OB gave a 2nd pelvic exam. Good.
• Get an x-ray. They saw a lump. It could be cancer.
• I had a cat-scan. Not cancer. UTI.
• I saw a physical therapist for 2 months. "Don't do any exercises that cause any pain or may be causing the pain." I continued to do little exercise & hold onto my baby weight. The pain was still there.
• My PT was stumped & said she couldn't help.
• Get another x-ray. Perhaps some ligament got detached from your pubic bone during delivery. Nope.
• Idea I had: what if this is related to my round ligament pain from pregnancy? I email my PT.
• You should see our Women's Health & Pelvic Pain Specialist.

 

Wait, what?

.

I've had 4 vaginal deliveries in 7 years. 3 babies go 2 weeks overdue. 1 miscarriage at 12 weeks. My pain for the last 7 months has been in my pelvis. I'm a woman. . Within 10 seconds of seeing the Pelvic Pain PT, she diagnosed my issue. . 6 weeks of pelvic floor PT & the pain was mostly gone. I wasn't scared to workout bc I knew the root cause. . I asked my OB why she missed this during 2 vaginal exams. Said it can be hard to diagnose if you don't know what you're looking for. So, I share my story so other Mamas don't need to go through this fiasco. . A prolapsed uterus/bladder is caused by a weak pelvic floor. Pain can be in back, pelvis, during sex. Having to pee all the time & bladders not full is a symptom. Incontinence isn't NORMAL.   If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, I encourage you to check with your doctor!

014 I still remember feeling almost angry two summers ago. I was drowning in work from my businesses, our church and exhaustion from our recent 4th child. Then, my now business coach shared with me this new online business model. I honestly couldn’t believe no one had ever explained this to me before.

The benefits were glaringly obvious after owning other businesses and this wasn't a network marketing deal (not that there's anything wrong with those, it's just not my jam). I believe everyone (especially Moms) should own some form of an online business because it is one of the best ways to achieve the time and financial freedom we all crave. So, what the heck is online business and why is it so magical? An online business packages your knowledge and expertise into an online format in which other people can buy.

Benefits of Online Businesses: •Hugely satisfying because you’re changing people’s lives. •Effective in sharing your message to a lot of people. •Delivers the highest levels of the time and financial freedom. •Create passive income. •Easily pivot.

Types of Online Businesses: •Ecourses •Group Coaching •Membership Sites Discover the pros and cons to each type in this epidsode!

013 Get your free, editable Simplified Strength Training Matrix at www.joywilder.com/workout!  Little known fact: I’m a former, ACE personal trainer and indoor cycling instructor! 

The way I like to think of it is to invest in yourself in the front end or pay for it on the back end. So invest in working out now and don’t pay for it with no energy, illnesses, heart issues, etc.

 

4 Keys to working out from home:

 

1.  Give 24 hours for muscles to rest between strength training

Strength training basically breaks down the muscle and then the muscle needs at least 24 hours to rebuild that muscle back up.

 

If you don’t give it the 24 hour rest, you’re not getting the highest ROI on that workout. So give it a rest and rebuild that muscle while you sleep. 

 

2.  Workout all 10 muscles groups on a regular basis

1. Chest
2. Back
3. Biceps
4. Triceps
5. Core
6. Quads
7. Hamstrings/Glutes
8. Inner Thighs
9. Outer Thighs
10. Calves People generally break up their days in two ways: all strength training one day and all cardio next day OR upper body + cardio one day and lower body + cardio next day Power Tip: Vary your workouts to get max results. I developed my Simplified Strength Training Matrix that you can use and/or edit! This helps me to keep track of workouts I’ve done for the week so I can easily switch it up on the next day or every couple of days.  Make sure your Strength Training Matrix lists all 10 muscle groups and various workouts for each and that it’s designed around equipment or space that you have.

3. Have the right equipment. When working out at home, you need some key workout equipment that doesn’t break the bank and that can still give you a full body workout. Here are some of my faves:

• Exercise Bands: This is probably the easiest thing to invest in. These alone can handle a total body workout.
• Weights (in various sizes)
• Exercise ball or dinosaur eggs 
• Exercise bar 
• A Step
• Elliptical or exercise bike 
• Heart rate monitor 
• Bluetooth 
• Protein Shake 

 

4. Join some sort of community while working out from home. It can be really easy to not workout at home, so find a group to help encourage you along the way and your success rate will be a lot higher than if you did it by yourself.

012 My Top 3 Tips for Working Out Consistently Even if You Have Zero Time and Energy…⁠⠀

Join us tomorrow for Part 2 and your FREE Simplified Strength Training Matrix!

 

I absolutely LOVE working out!!!🏋️‍♀️⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ BUT, once I became a wife and mom and my family continued to grow, it got more and more difficult to make it into the gym. ⁠⠀

I really wanted to find a way to still workout even though my life seemed to be consumed and my body exhausted with daily mom duties... ⁠⠀ Here are my Top 3 Tips for Working Out Consistently Even if You Have Zero Time and Energy…⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 1. Set the bar low and set yourself up for success:⁠⠀ This just means to set attainable goals for yourself so you can take small steps that get you closer and closer to your end goal.⁠⠀

 

2. Remove all barriers of resistance:⁠⠀ Identify the barriers and figure out solutions to overcome those barriers. What is it that is keeping you from working out?⁠

 

3. Visualize your goals :⁠⠀ What do you want to get from working out? Do you want to lose weight? Gain more energy? Feel healthy?⁠

011 Ever get in a funk and don't want to leave the house? Especially for work at home folks and solopreneurs, you gotta get out of the house - even when you don't feel like it!

 

I share how this was a game changer from my first experience of a friend finding out her husband was having an affair to a work related networking event.

 

Some places I mention to help you get moving:

• Facebook groups
• S.C.O.R.E.
• National Women's Business Center
• Community Business Partnership
• Local Chamber of Commerce
• Meet-ups

Congregate, don't isolate.

010  Did you know having blue light shown behind your knee within 2 hours of bed decreases your sleep quality?!  And, sleep, my friend, is the game changer to your whole life!

 

So, we have to watch out for blue light 2 hours before bed!

You can change settings easily on a phone and laptop, but what to do if you watch a show before bed?

 

Da, da, da, da...intro blue light glasses!  These are the ones I use - nothing fancy and seem to work just fine!
