My Money Story Part Two

Please make sure to listen to part one here.

In this episode, I share my old money beliefs and how I believe they came to fruition. Also, my new beliefs, budgeting, and multiple streams of income, and how to plan for 2020 to reach your BIG scary goals.

I've decided to do a shedding series in the last part of December and in January on the Sitch each week.

I want to shed publically on how I feel about my BLOCKS and what I think about: Money, food, post-menopause and aging, and being a parent, and body image, aging + social media, podcasting and not selling out, and marriage.

Grab a journal and do this with me.

Acceptance + Willingness - Which Comes First?

Join the conversation that I share today where I talk about acceptance of your willingness to change, and your willingness to accept what isn't working in your life.

Thank you so much for listening!

Topics include:

1. What are you accepting in your life?

2. What is your willingness to change what isn't working

3. What may be holding you back from taking the first step towards change?

4. Choosing a word of the year and why it's a good idea

5. Why you should step into acceptance + willingness with fear and self-doubt until you are willing to believe there is something BIG waiting for you

Bonus Episode: Counting Action vs. Counting Days

My hope for this episode is that I will help you to see where you are putting pressure on yourself to accomplish a goal, either short-term or long-term so that you allow yourself some grace.

Ease off of yourself sister or brother and believe that if someone else achieved the same goal that you want, then you can too.

The most important part of this picture is what do YOU want? Identify one thing that you want to work on most and align yourself with that one thing.

Example: If you want to lose 10-pounds - reverse engineer the process of what you need to do to get you to your goal.

Actions: Sleep more, drink at least ½ your weight in water, add more veggies, fruit, healthy fats, journal your thoughts and feelings, and lean proteins, track your steps, sweat 5x a week, get accountability to stay on track.

10 Steps in total.

At the end of each day, you celebrate each action you did and know that you are one step closer to reaching your goal. Say "I'm doing it, no matter how long it takes."

Are you ready to create an action plan for yourself and work towards what you want in life?

Episode 93

Part Two: Swimming for His Life with Dean Hall

This episode is full of hope, grit, and living your dream life, no matter your circumstance.

I talk with Dean Hall, a licensed clinical therapist for over 30 years. He specializes in helping clients recover from trauma, anxiety, and health conditions like chronic pain and cancer.

Dean is an author, a highly sought-after speaker, advice columnist, and expert in the field of neuroacoustics. Dean is also a two-time cancer survivor, widower, and world-record-setting extreme distance swimmer. He was the first person to swim the entire 187-mile length of the Willamette River in Oregon in 2014 (which he did as an active cancer patient) and the River Shannon in Ireland (150 miles) in 2017. He accomplished these feats of endurance to prove to fellow cancer patients that you don't have to give up your dreams or your drive simply because you have received a diagnosis.

One of Dean's greatest achievements, however, is chasing and catching the gorgeous fitness competitor, Bobbi Parker Hall, and falling in love again with a woman who is as beautiful on the inside as she is the outside.

Topics include:

• His aging parents and how they taught him to take care of himself at a young age through exercise
• Dean's first cancer diagnosis in 2007
• Given six weeks to live in 2007
• Trauma and illness
• HIs first wives cancer and death fifteen days before his 30th anniversary
• Coming out of years of grief
• Asking healthier questions to get different answers
• His childhood goal coming to life in his fifties
• Training for his first big swim
• Dean's sleep schedule during his cancer years
• His second diagnosis in 2013 and how Dean knew it had come back

Make sure to listen to Part One to learn more about Dean's story and how he is today.
