  • 252. Creating the Life of Your Dreams

    Melisa Nielsen at Waldorf Essentials shares her life experience with creating the life of your dreams. 

    Melisa and Erik Nielsen had been visiting California for Comic Con for many years. With each visit they began to fall in love with the area and the idea of living in California. 

    Instead of just letting it be a wish. They started planning. 

    Grab a piece of paper and start writing all the details out. 

    How much will it cost?

    Where can things shift inn a budget?

    Where can you grow you income?

     

    Never stop dreaming. 

    When you find yourself challenged, that's the reminder to start dreaming again.

  • 249. How is Your Smart Phone Usage?

    Melisa Nielsen at Waldorf Essentials brings up two challenges for you today.

    1. Is your partner's smart phone usage the problem or yours?

    2. How much are you using your phone throughout the day?

    - Instead of raging and ranting on a Facebook group of "what should I do with my children?". Go outside and get them running that energy out.

    - Tips and ideas for while you're nursing instead of grabbing a phone.

    - White board idea to remember the things that pop in your head without needing to grab your phone.

    It's hard, when we pick up our phone we have access to so much! Remember to reflect on your usage regularly.

  • 248. The Child at 18

    The Child at 18 is a part of Melisa Nielsen's series of the child every 3 years.

    - Are they going to college?

    - Taking a gap year?

    - Moving out of the house?

    - Getting a job?

    - Joining the military?

    What they say they want to do, support them. How are they going to make it happen?

    Resist the urge to plan out their life for them.

    Ask questions.

    Listen.

    Be supportive.
