Sara and I have a lot in common; we're both getting married in the pandemic, we're both Type-As, into fitness, similar names. So this was a lot like interviewing myself. A lot of what she talks about is going to make it sound like Type-A's have it easy, because we kind of just do things to get through things... But before you get down on yourself for not being like that, consider some of the other difficult things we have to overcome in exchange - perfectionist beliefs that can really get us down, not being able to use typical strategies to calm ourselves (looking at you, meditation!), overdoing it to the point of injury, and being incredibly hard on ourselves. I encourage you to listen to this episode and consider what you might need to "just do" next or what mental health routine you need to develop sooner rather than later.

For Jason there wasn't one monumental loss, but many considerable loses along the way to discovering what makes his heart sing. We don't even get to go through all his career changes, so hopefully this brings some hope to someone still trying to find their true passion and changing up their career a lot. It's especially relevant with what we're going through now when many people could use this as an opportunity to try something new. We talk about the value of college and why you may or may not want to wait to go.

Join Lori and I as she tells me her journey of owning a thank-you cookie business for 11 years. It wasn't until a friend said to her that her business was similar to an abusive relationship that she really woke up to what she was losing. What was she afraid of losing by hanging on so long? What did she lose by "giving up" the business? Find out on today's episode!

I'm really happy Amanda decided to be on my podcast because it brings a different perspective to my typical weight loss stories. Amanda had a career in acting before she realized it was destroying her emotionally and physically. She didn't intend on leaving acting for good to take care of her depression and eating disorder, but when she realized that acting was a piece of her life puzzle and that she could move on, she was able to recover and move her focus to other passions. 

I highly suggest you check out her Instagram:

Join Kim and I for a conversation that is very intriguing to me; becoming a mom. Kim and I share a similar passion in wanting to accomplish and live a purposeful life beyond managing kids. Is it possible to do both? Listen as she talks about feeling like she lost her identity when her kids were born and how she regained it over time. Here are additional ways you can explore more of Kim's work:

Eli joins me today to talk about his weight loss surgery. The doctor was reluctant to give him the surgery, but through some determination and sharing his motivations, the doctor agreed. Find out what those motivations are and other things he learned along his journey that have helped him. 

Angela is a life coach who works particularly with people struggling with anxiety. She didn't start there, though. She owned her own cleaning business, became a chef, and was in an abusive relationship all while raising three kids. It definitely didn't happen overnight and there were bumps in the road. Hear how she managed to get where she is in today's interview!

I think it's really easy to be bitter, resentful, and depressed coming out of a layoff. While there was some of that, Bobby shares about how he turned the situation around to find a new, equally awesome job and how to be better at being a member of the corporate world. Part of his journey also inspired him to start a podcast and community of his own, "We are Boss People" https://www.wearebosspeople.com/

Here specifically is the interview with his college mentor:

Join me on this interview with fellow podcast host Tim as he talks to me about his divorce. Was it scary? Of course. Was he afraid of losing a lot? Absolutely.

Please check out Tim's podcast, "We're only Human" here!
