One of the greatest regrets of the dying is that they didn't live life on their terms because they were afraid of what others would think.

Detaching from the opinion of others is an action item, not a 'one and done' scenario. We must detach and align over and over again so we stay on course to live the life we want.

In this episode I share the 4 strategies I use when other's opinions creep in and try and influence how I show up.

I hope that you will share with those that dim their light and not show up authentically because they are afraid of what others will think. If someone you know is always taking things to heart and taking things personally, I hope you will share this with them. It's normal, and then it's also necessary to detach.

This podcast has been active and dormant so many times. I was ready to say that's it - I'm done with it. I needed some time to decide what to do.

We had our last minor hockey game with our son on Sunday. It left me feeling like someone punched me in the gut. It made me get curious and dig deep about what was really going on.

I've also had one of my kids going through endings of a job/clients and also a move with a lot of beginnings - location, school, business, everything is new.

In this episode I talk about my beggings journey, how endings are a call for us to pause, reflect and soak it in, while beginnings require us to take action, make decisions and move forward.

Endings are part of life, beginnings get more rare as we age. Status quo becomes our default as we age. I love getting curious about how it impacts us as we age.

A bit of a shift in focus for this podcast, but moving forward I will be weaving in agriculture based topics and conversations. I have been working with farmers and farm families over the last 20 years as a consultant and I know I need to start sharing more about the industry.

After the last 5 years (or so) there has been a huge shift in how people talk about farming, agriculture, food production and how it impacts the environment. As farmers and those of us involved in the agriculture community, it's important that we take back the conversation and shut down the false information shared.

In this conversation I talk high level about the industry and how it's being vilified with false information. Let's keep talking and let's keep exploring the truth.

It has been a year away from the podcast and for a good part of that year, it was on the chopping block. I wasn't sure if it still had a place in my business that aligned with my goals. I'm happy to say that it's back! I promised myself that on March 1st, I was bringing her back to life,..and here it is. In this episode I talk about why I needed to take a step back, and share some lessons learned along the way. I hope you enjoy.

If you have struggled with perfectionism, feeling overwhelmed, and you freeze as you face your long to do list. You waste more time than you would like to admit, and your are craving more order and control over the small moments of your day.

If this resonates, then this episode has been shared for you.

I have found myself freezing and not doing anything because I was raised to believe that if I couldn't do it right, not to bother doing it all. What if i didn't have the time to do it right? I found myself leaving things because I didn't have enough time over and over again - in my house, my health, and my business.

This mindset shift has helped me to use the small moments to make them matter and they have helped me to feel the momentum of simply moving the needle.

If you have been a perfectionist, I would love to hear from you if you try this and it helps you feel a little more in control and a little less overwhelmed.
