In this episode of Waking Oz, Sue & Deirdre chat with life and business coach Lisa Couturier from R2R Life (R2Rlife.com) about creating a lifestyle and work balance that honors your values. She encourages us to think about whether our work inspires us, whether we feel satisfied and fulfilled. If not, what are we doing about it?  Listen in and get empowered to use the "power of the shoes!" (You're already wearing them, get clicking!!)

In this episode we discuss committing yourself to regularly practicing self care and the impact it can have on both your physical and mental health. We interview Amy Moore, a wife and mother who describes her transformation from a stressed and overworked marketing specialist to someone who routinely practices self care by eating well, practicing meditation and spending time doing something she truly loves. Amy is now an esthetician for Faces in Newburyport, MA where she can help her clients feel as good as she does!

We talk with mountain biking enthusiast Galit Lev-Harir about her new-found passion - how she explored a new talent, developed her interest and connected with a network of like-minded women - all while managing a family and career.

In this episode of Waking Oz, Sue & Deirdre (from separate studios!) discuss the difficult times we find ourselves in as we self quarantine to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Although all of us are feeling some amount of anxiety, we all have more time to reflect on goals, learn new skills, write, exercise, rid ourselves of things that are taking up physical and mental space and practice self-care. This is the silver lining of an otherwise difficult period in time. We are all in this together and we hope we can provide some comfort and practical tips to help get you through! Stay safe and healthy everyone. 

In this episode of Waking Oz we explore the process of discovering what you're good at - what would people assume you'd do a TED TALK on? What do people come to you for help with? How do people describe you? Listen in to Deirdre and Sue discuss this topic with candor and humor!

In today's episode of Waking Oz, we'll talk about giving up STUFF. Stuff that gets in the way of putting you first. Stuff that isn't important, that someone else can do or that you can just kick to the curb.

Don't put your life on hold while you are raising your kids! We talk to college professor turned self-care expert Karletty Medina about her journey and how she has managed to transform her life while balancing the demands of family and career. 

How are you spending your time? What will people say you were all about? No one give two sh**ts about how clean your house is or how organized your linen closet is. What do you DO? What will your kids say was your greatest accomplishment? Get moving ladies. Strap on your red shoes and kick some a$$. The time is NOW - no more excuses. Your passion is waiting. You've got this and we'll be along for the ride!

We talk about FEAR ladies - how to respond to it, how to get over it, how to move past it! Our guest Annie Grant talks about discovering a new passion, taking a risk and moving into a a brand new space with a new business venture! Listen to hear her journey toward Oz and you'll be inspired to take action too!!
