Your Unapologetic Life

In this episode of Your Unapologetic Life, I had the opportunity to connect with my dear friend Cindy Hirsch, someone I've admired for her directness and curiosity since we first met nearly ten years ago. Cindy's journey has been incredibly challenging; she has bravely faced eight brain surgeries and recently received a Parkinson's diagnosis. Through it all, she has found a way to reclaim her sparkle time and time again, reminding me to stay resilient in the face of life's trials.

Our conversation took a heartfelt turn as she shared her realization that her marriage was no longer the right fit for her, a discovery sparked by the metaphor of trying to fit a round peg in a square hole.

Cindy's candidness about her experiences truly resonated with me, including the emotional struggles she faced after her amicable split from her ex-husband. She navigated the difficult process of rebuilding her support network, ultimately finding love again with an amazing partner who wants to share life with her, no matter what challenges arise. They now live joyfully together in the Villages, Florida, savoring each moment.

Be sure to listen until the end, as Cindy drops a powerful truth bomb that everyone needs to hear. It's a beautiful exchange between two friends, and I'm so grateful to have had the chance to share her inspiring story.

In this episode, I dive into a recent experience that reminded me of the importance of not apologizing for our choices. After deciding against an exciting move to Spain, I initially felt foolish for building up the anticipation and then changing my mind, but my supportive girlfriends helped shift my perspective.

During our weekly "Heart Check Monday" calls, one friend encouraged me to explore what was truly missing in my life that drove my desire to move abroad. Her insightful words and the reminders from my other friends helped me realize that it's okay to change course and prioritize what feels right for me without the burden of guilt

Join me as I reflect on this journey of self-discovery and the incredible power of friendship. Together, we'll explore the importance of listening to our inner voice and embracing our decisions, no matter how they may change.

In this episode of Your Unapologetic Life, I chat with Christina Paul, a family coach who specializes in helping families align their money, goals, and time. Many of us aren’t trained to manage our finances effectively, and we often struggle to set boundaries that truly reflect how we want to spend our time. Christina believes that families deserve the same level of support and strategy that businesses receive, along with the compassion that comes from someone who understands the journey.

During our conversation, Christina shares her unique approach to helping families become friendly with their finances. She emphasizes creating and communicating family goals while ensuring there’s space in their schedules to live lives they genuinely love. Unlike traditional financial advisors who focus solely on numbers and projections, Christina digs deeper—she examines current behaviors and aligns them with desired goals. If those goals aren’t in sync with our actions, she guides clients on how to shift their behaviors for lasting change.

I found Christina’s insights incredibly valuable, and I know you will too. Tune in to discover how you can start aligning your family's finances and goals to create a more fulfilling life!
