Welcome to Start In The Middle, I'm your host Kristi Falany. Today, we're delving into a topic close to my heart: embracing solitude for personal growth and self-discovery.

Hey there! On this episode I'm here to help you see how powerful your voice can be! Right now, I'm getting ready for a fun cruise, and I want it to be super relaxing. When we say positive things out loud, it's like we're telling our brains to look for good stuff. Instead of feeling down, we can lift ourselves up with our words.
We can learn a lot from a saying in the Bible, Philippians 4:8. It tells us to focus on the good things about ourselves. We can use positive words to make our dreams come true, no matter where we are in life.
The words we use are really powerful. They don't just affect how we feel now; they also shape our future. I'll show you how saying simple "I am" statements can help you grow and find new passions. I want to invite you to a special call where we can talk about the plan for your future and how I can help you create what you want in your life starting with the sentences you speak to yourself.
I'm excited to work with you on this journey. If you're interested in using positive self-talk to change your life, visit Kristifalanycoaching.com. We can make a plan together to make your dreams come true.

Let's find that excitement for life together! I'm Kristi Falany, and as a certified life coach, I'm here to help you discover yourself and feel strong. We'll start by talking about your dreams and using a cool idea called the 'be, do, have' principle. It's like a map that shows you how to be successful.
We'll learn why trying to get everything all at once can cause problems. Instead, we'll see how, in different parts of life, your dreams can come true if you take your time. And when things get tough and you start feeling negative, I'll teach you ways to stay positive and focused on your goals.
This is especially for women in their middle years who want to feel passionate and purposeful again. I want to work with you personally to help you use your imagination and dreams to create an amazing future. If you share this with friends who might be feeling lost, it could give them hope and direction too.
Come join our community! Together, we'll help each other reach for our dreams and live the life we really want.

Have you ever stopped to consider that the root of relationship challenges might not be communication, but our own perceptions? Join me, Kristi Falany, as we journey through the complexities of how we perceive the world and its profound impact on our interactions with those we hold dear.

This isn't just talk; it's a pathway to transformation. As your guide and life coach, I'm extending a hand to those ready to rediscover themselves in midlife and beyond.

This is a true story about a big moment in my life where I had to make a tough decision. It's about how we sometimes hold back when we're right on the edge of something we really want, and how we wrestle with ourselves about what to do, like whether to get baptized again.
I'm here as someone who helps people through life's challenges, and I want to tell you my story to inspire you. I want you to pay attention to those feelings deep down inside you that tell you what you really want, and I want to encourage you to go for it without doubting yourself.
This talk is especially for women who feel like they're at a turning point in their lives. I want you to imagine a life where you're not held back by doubts, but instead, you're full of happiness, courage, and lots of joy. Whether you've been following along with us for a while or you're new here, I want to encourage you to have faith in yourself, go after what you want, and be brave enough to take the opportunities life gives you.
Come join us as we celebrate what can happen when we trust ourselves and embrace everything life has to offer.

As we welcome the year 2024, let's raise our coffee cups for a cheers to new beginnings and the exciting journey of "becoming." It's a time to be thankful, look back on the past, and set strong goals for the future. This story is about how a simple habit of writing down things we're grateful for turned into a year full of unexpected good things, like getting more clients and starting a group for empowering women. I'll share how embracing change, even when it's a bit uncomfortable, has been a key to my success and why the word "becoming" is guiding me in the coming year.
The "Level Up 2024" workshop and its workbook will be our guides for the year. We'll talk about the ups and downs of the past year, finding strength in the tough times. So, let's celebrate the progress we've made and look forward to the journey ahead. Share your goals, stories of personal growth, and dreams with me. Together, we'll step into a year full of promise and discover more about who we're becoming. This conversation is more than just thinking about the past; it's an invitation to grow, laugh, and trust in the amazing story we're all creating with our lives.

Welcome to 2024.
I offered a workshop the last Saturday of 2023 designed to help women decide for themselves their desires for the new year. We followed a specific framework to help them bring to the forefront all that they hoped for in 2024.
Of course our brains are going to offer up all the reasons why achieving our dreams will be hard. That is exactly why I shared with them my failproof strategy to create new beliefs around achieving hard things.
Let this year be the year you Level Up your life. For the replay of the workshop simply email me with "Level Up" and I will share with you both the workshop video and the workbook.

Have you ever felt really confused about what to do in life? Well, at 42, I felt that way too. Hi, I'm Kristi Ballard Falany, and I want to tell you about my journey through a tough time when my parents decided not to be married anymore. It was a bit like the movie "It's Complicated" with Meryl Streep. In the first part of our talk, we'll go through the ups and downs of finding hope and starting a new life. We'll also talk about how things changed with my kids and how having someone to help, like a coach, made a big difference.
But the story doesn't stop there! Making your life better often begins with changing how you think about things. In the second part, I'll talk about this thing called a "mindset." As a coach, I've seen how important it is. I want to help you have a better, more exciting life. We'll chat about getting rid of old ways of thinking, and I'll tell you about a fun quiz on my website that can help you see how you think. Let's make sure we're living our best lives, full of things we love to do. Come listen and be part of this big change with me!

Ever feel like chaos is your constant companion? Ever think you might even be subconsciously seeking it out? Join me as I peel back the layers of my own disorderly experiences, specifically during my son's high school transition. His hockey passion left our lives spinning like a rogue puck and guess what, I discovered I was the one wielding the hockey stick.

We've got a crew of holistic healers collaborating to provide you tools and perspectives to break free from chaos.
This isn't just about understanding chaos, it's about breaking the habit. Our brains can get hooked on disarray, spinning a web of self-sabotage and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Confession time: I've been stuck in that destructive loop and found my way out. We're here to support you on your journey, whether you're just contemplating making a change or ready to dive headfirst into a new peaceful paradigm. Our mission? To help you rediscover and stoke the embers of the passionate, enthusiastic woman within. I'm here, eager and ready to join you on this journey, as your life coach.

Listen in on this special episode I recorded with my own coach Dave Moreno. Together we talk about how lack trust was keeping me from what I truly wanted in my life.
Before I started working with my coach, I really didn't know how big of a role lack of trust was playing in my life. I thought it just extended to personal relationships until I learned I wasn't even trusting myself.
We must first build the trust in ourselves to be able to extend it to others, to our businesses and to how we show up in the world.

I've been through that rough season of divorce, and emerged stronger on the other side. After 21 years of marriage, I found myself navigating new waters, from resetting my personal boundaries to redefining my relationship with my children. What kept me going? I surprisingly found comfort in the smallest of things - a movie, a heartfelt chat, a session with a life coach. One movie that helped was "It's Complicated" and I'll share how Meryl Streep's character resonated with me.

As I enter a new year around the sun, I find myself reflecting on the journey of personal growth and development. I have a captivating story to share - a tale of a client who, despite being content, yearned for more and took the initiative to make that happen. It's a conversation starter about why we often wait for social invitations, rather than understanding that we need to be the ones to initiate social interactions.
Venturing out of your comfort zone can be daunting, but let me tell you, it's transformative. My own journey of overcoming fear and stepping into networking events led me to encounter meaningful relationships and business connections. But to do this, you need to invest in yourself - set attainable goals, build your own support system. I can't stress this enough - discomfort is your friend, a catalyst that helps you rediscover your passionate, enthusiastic self. And that's exactly what I aim to help you achieve through my coaching, to help you uncover the woman you were always meant to be. So buckle up and join me on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

What if you could revolutionize your relationships with just one simple question? Today, I, Kristy Ballard Falany, will be your guide on this transformative journey. Imagine the power that comes from asking, 'How do you want to be treated?' This question, simple yet profound, can open up a world of deeper communication and understanding. By stepping into the shoes of others, we not only foster empathy and compassion, but also ensure our own needs are met. Let's explore together how this question can shift the dynamics of your relationships and bring them to new heights.

It's during this time that we often lose sight of our true selves. This is where having a life coach can be immensely beneficial; they can assist in guiding us back to our authentic selves, rekindling our passions, and reigniting our zest for life. As we delve into this journey of self-discovery, we'll be sharing personal stories and practical examples, providing you with the tools to strengthen your relationships and rediscover the person you were destined to be.

Ever found yourself caught in a whirlwind of chaos? This episode unpacks the role chaos plays in our lives, often distorting our perception and making it difficult to accept change and growth. But there's power in vulnerability and connection, and these can be our anchors in the storm, offering healing and a fresh viewpoint.
Chaos can be more than just a momentary whirlwind. For some, it's a constant storm, a trauma response that leads to self-sabotage and a perpetual state of high alert. The seeds of this cycle are often planted in childhood, continuing to disrupt peace and clarity in adulthood. We delve into this pattern, discussing how to break free, how to support friends without being swept into their drama, and how to empower your adult children to stand strong independently.
Lastly, we turn the spotlight on you - the passionate woman within who is ready to break free from chaos. As a life coach, I share my own transformation journey, highlighting how a coach can reignite passion and enthusiasm. If you're eager to end the cycle of chaos, foster inner peace, and rediscover your passion, you won't want to miss this episode. We're here to share our stories, explore different perspectives, and arm ourselves with the tools to navigate through life's chaos.

Ever caught yourself in a spiral of negative self-talk as soon as you open your eyes in the morning? That was me, Kristi Falany, a certified trauma-informed life coach, until I stumbled upon the profound power of intentional self-talk. In this enlightening journey, we’ll explore the concept of 'emotional home' - the three dominant feelings that unconsciously become our go-to emotions. These can often be negative, particularly during midlife transitions, shaping our life in ways we may not realize. Drawing from my personal experience, I reveal strategies to help pivot those default feelings into more positive ones, transforming not only your days, but your life.
Midlife is a tumultuous period, brimming with change, but what if it could be a time to rediscover the woman you're meant to be? Coaching could be the key to unlock your authenticity and passion. I share my insights into the transformative power of coaching, which helped me navigate through my own midlife changes, prompting a major lifestyle makeover. Know that it's never too late to create new habits, routines and mindsets that you love. I've been where you are, and I'm here to help guide you through this journey. Let's get started in the middle, together.

Have you ever found yourself starting over in the middle of your life, after a major change like divorce or an empty nest? That's where I was at 42, and it led me to become a certified trauma-informed life coach dedicated to helping other women navigate similar challenges. In this episode, I'm exploring the concept of renewal and how to overcome resistance to change as we journey together toward creating a life we truly love.
I share my own experiences with renewing my sense of purpose, creating autonomy in my life, and helping other women do the same. I discuss the importance of identifying your "why" in order to take action, and the three areas in my life that I'm focusing on for renewal: my relationship with my husband, the growth of my business, and my relationship with myself. I also address the role of pride in resistance and the value of reaching out for help when needed. So, let's embark on this journey of renewal together and make our lives truly exceptional!

There is a reason you are already not choosing to make things better in your life.
It's called resistance.
There are a few different ways that resistance can show up. When we allow the patterns of resistance to exist, we are blocking ourselves from creating the lives we actually want.
We are blocking ourselves from better relationships with others and ourselves.
In this episode, I'm giving two examples of why we choose to resist a renewal.

In this episode, I take a look at the mindset that is keeping me from really putting myself out there in order to be into community.
Often, our fears lead back to "I'm not enough". And that is what holds us back from the community we want to be in.

If fear or rejection are the thoughts that are holding you back, I encourage you to dive into what your "Midlife Mindset" is and how it may be playing a part in what is holding you back from the life you really want.

I totally get when your brain says “ I wish they cared about me as much as I care about them.”
This type of mindset happens at mid life, when we are still parenting as if we have control over what our adult children do or don’t do.
So you don’t answer messages, or you sit in silence protest over some thing they did or didn’t do that you don’t agree with.
And then, when you’re ready to return to your loving self, you re-engage.
**This completely breaks down their trust in you. If they never know which person they are going to get.
Are you ready to make a shift in your "Midlife Mindset"?
In this episode, I give you actionable strategies you can try today.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Kara Hackleman, the host of Concierge Weight Loss podcast.
We talked about relationships, creating your identity in midlife, and even weight loss.
When she asked me what I was passionate about, I explained that my passion was in helping midlife women live there best lives for the second half of life.
The biggest sentences that cause us pain at midlife are:
- I've taken care of everyone all my life. When will it be my turn?
- Not knowing what is next at midlife. Are the best years behind me?
- Unhappy and you just don't know why.
These are all part of the "Midlife Mindset" that holds us back from living our best lives.
Because I am so passionate about helping "Midlife Women" shift their mindset around these areas, I have created a quiz to help them identify the type of mindset that is hold them back.

Travel is good for your soul. It is good for your relationship with yourself, as well as the relationship you have with those you choose to travel with.

Motivation can look different for everyone.
There is a certain feeling that I get when I step up to the start line at every race.
Then 10X that feeling as the sense of accomplishment sets in when I cross the finish line.
This is what motivates me to run.
I am often asked "How do I stay so motivated?"
"I don't know" is a very common answer that midlife women give me when I ask them what they are passionate about.
I get it. You've raised your kids, done the career thing and basically kept the household running to get to this point of......"What Now".
In this episode, I am giving you actionable steps to start dreaming again.
You get to decide for yourself............what happens now!

Your biggest source of pain is the lies that your brain keeps bringing up.
This may look like something someone said to you long ago. Maybe you believed it then, and you've taken it on as part of your identity.
"You should be ashamed of yourself." That is my lie from way back as an 8 year old. I didn't know that believing that was a choice, so it became part of who I was.
Here is how it continued to show up in my life.
I was ashamed of my appearance.
I was ashamed of who I was.
I was ashamed of what I did to deserve the title.
In this episode, I will share with you 3 Steps for Changing and Reframing the old lies your brain brings up for you.
Those lies are not WHO YOU ARE. They no longer have to a part of your identity.

One of the most painful questions you can ask yourself is "How did I get here?"
In this episode I explore the 3 answers to that question. Our behaviors are driven by our emotions. And because we are still carrying around a primitive, our emotions are often negative and on high alert for harm. We also don't realize that we have a set of habits that are keeping us from what we truly want our lives to be. And the last reason of how you got to where you are is not advocating for yourself. Not listening to your own inner wisdom and following through with it.

What stories have you been telling yourself about money?
I know mine were pretty sucky.
😱 I'm the spender in this relationship.
😱 I'm not good with money.
😱 That's how our parents did it.
This type of relationship lead to a ton of fear of never having enough money. It also lead to behaviors that continuously proved there was never enough money.
You don't have to have this type of relationship with money. After reading the book, The Psychology of Money, I quickly learned how to turn my ugly thoughts about money into curiosity about my behaviors with money.
Changing my behaviors is transforming my thoughts of how to live an abundant life with the money that I have.
That is ultimate happiness creation!

Friendships can happen in the most unexpected way. You simply have to keep an open heart about letting someone new into your circle.
Amanda and I found each other on Instagram. I loved what she had to say about life and how she lifts up other women through her coaching practice. When we decided to meet up over Zoom for coffee, we discovered that we have so much in common.
In this episode, she shares the struggles with moving and finding new circles, and she shares the unique ways that she has tried to find friend connections.
The biggest message that I hope you get from this episode, if you struggle to find friends, is that you have to put fear aside and let your own light shine into the world.

Assuming that your children are going to do something, Mom, because YOU ask is only setting yourself up for heartache.
When we assume, we are telling our brain we believe it to be true. We tell ourselves that we know something will happen, but here is what we don't consider.
💎Other people have agency of what they want to do, or what they feel is in alignment for themselves.
💎It is actually pretty healthy for them to decide for themselves when they don't want to do something.
💎It does not mean that they don't love and respect your wishes.
Rather than assuming things about your adult children try having an open line of communication. Provide for them a safe space free from guilt and shame.
This will alleviate a ton a heartache on both sides. They don't want to hurt you, but they do want to honor their wants, needs and desires.

It is becoming increasingly clear that at midlife besides the big M, our biggest changes are occurring within our relationships.
These women want more connection with their spouse especially those who are empty nesters or getting ready to experience empty nest. I’m hearing from a lot of my clients it feels like we just don’t really know each other any more or we make really good roommates.
The same type of connection they are seeking is with their adult children. Often in this season of our lives, we didn't really anticipate how much our relationship with our kids was going to change once they left the nest.
And last, a lot of my clients are experiencing true loneliness and are struggling with how to create friendships.
I am prepared to support me clients in all of these aspects. I am a huge advocate for human connection. I am firmly rooted in the belief that we were not meant to do life alone.

Self help books is where I started on my journey to creating a life I love and want to live. But I didn't stop there. The information in the books were valuable, but I noticed that I wasn't consistent with following all of the advice and the concepts sometimes just didn't stick.
That is why having a coach was so valuable. I didn't know that I could change old beliefs. I didn't know that the same crappy stories I was telling myself was holding me back. It's no wonder I couldn't just implement what the books told me.

Your past, present and future are not all separate entities. You are the same person now that you were when you were 8, 48 and 80. You may look completely different, you may think completely different, but to your core you are that same soul………….you still have that 8 year old human inside of you and at 80 you will too.So why not let your past teach you about who you are today and let who you are and want to be guide you into an amazing well lived life so that when your 80 you look back with admiration at what you accomplished.
Sometimes we cannot even see for ourselves what is happening with our own thoughts. We know that something is off, but we struggle to find the right questions to ask ourselves to determine what it is. Your coach can help you to identify the sneaky patterns of your brain. Your coach can also help you uplevel the practices you already have in place. Your coach will help you create your future with confidence, and help you to shift your focus from who you were to who you want to be and start living your life on purpose.
Over the last couple of months I have been going through some changes. Some have been completely unexpected and kind of weird. But I get to decide if I want to sit in worry and confusion over what is going on, or if I want to be proactive and embrace the changes.
I am using the model in a different way to help me to create the results I actually want in my life.
Listen in to see how this works.
Here is the intentional model I discuss in this episode:
Circumstance: changes- rash, unexpected flow, career move
Result I want: I am embracing that these changes are happening for me and not against me
Thought: Natural life changes are not harmful to my happiness
Feeling: hopeful
Actions: I’m not allowing worry about what the future holds, I continue to work towards helping women through my coaching practices, I continue to create content for you and my clients that I know will help you to navigate the circumstances of your midlife, I reach out for help from my doctor over this fluke mother nature is tossing me, I reach out to my amazing network of friends who have gone through menopause before me, the allergies- continue the treatment my doctor has given me and not let my brain make it a problem, and just continue to tell my brain these are natural changes
Last week, I had an opportunity to spend some face to face time with my business coach as well as 14 other entrepreneurs. Even though we were not all coaches, each person had unique experiences and wisdom to offer.
My biggest take away that has already changed me is uncovering my top 5 strengths. Wait until you hear about what I thought they actually were.
Shout out to coach Lee Koles for bring this wisdom to our retreat.

Don't leave your brain unsupervised. When you are not questioning the thoughts you are thinking, the feelings you are creating for yourself are probably less than ideal.
The model can be a little complicated to understand when first presented with the idea that it is our thoughts that create our feelings. My coach broke it down for me in a super simple way. Courtesy of Dave Moreno............I am sharing with you this super simple way.
For previous episodes on the model please go to the following episodes:

Why don't some friendships last?
It doesn't have to mean that you did anything wrong or that the other person did any thing wrong. But each party does have to do their part in order for it to survive.
And if it doesn't survive, it is ok to mourn the loss.

**Do you struggle with not liking the women looking back at you in the mirror? Do you wish that she were different. Ladies, I promise you, I did for such a long time. I did until it was just too exhausting. And when I finally discovered that all of my happiness surrounded my acceptance of myself, is when I decided for the last time that I am truly worthy. You see it has taken me years to understand that how I feel about myself, the way I treat myself and how I talk to myself, is a direct reflection of how I will show up to the world.
So when you say ugly things about yourself out loud to a group of other women, I can only imagine what you say about you in your head.**
Too often we create a ton of undue drama for ourselves by saying "yes" when we really want to say "no". You do not have to listen to all of the objections that your brain gives you. You do not have to feel the regret and discomfort that your brain is going to tell you may happen if you say no.
It is totally ok to say no. In fact, it is an act of self love and self care.
You are causing yourself so much undue suffering by using the sentence "I have to". The truth is you don't have to do anything. You do get to decide, however, if you want to.
Listen in to see the difference I have to and I want to.
Connect with me if you'd like more information on how to stop using this sentence and create an abundant life full of things you WANT to do.

Second installment of Aging Powerfully.
**I believe that aging powerfully means that you intentionally choose to do things that stretch you, that you intentionally choose to do things that are out of your comfort zone, maybe a little uncomfortable and even a little scary.

This episode is about aging powerfully. I'm giving you 3 must know steps to follow so that you are intentionally creating the life you want.

I was listening to a group of women who are devote in their prayer life. This is such an amazing thing of course, you prayers are a huge way to connect with Christ as he wants you to communicate with him just as you would your birth given mother and father. But here is what I have noticed is missing from your prayer life and your relationship with Christ. You want God to answer your prayers on your terms based on the stories that are in your thoughts and beliefs, but what if what you are thinking is not true? What if it is in fact a story that you have been telling yourself for so long that you do believe it to be true?

In this episode, I am introducing to you the power of a Super Think. It is a skill I learned from my own coach. I use it often to dig deep on what I want to create in my life. I encourage you to try it for yourself using the question, How do you want to be different in a year?
Reach out to me if you would like to discuss this concept further or if you are ready to start you unique plan for how you are going to be different. Just click this link https://calendly.com/kfalanycoaching/kfalanycoaching
Your past, present and future are not all separate entities. You are the same person now that you were when you were 8, 48 and 80. You may look completely different, you may think completely different, but to your core you are that same soul………….you still have that 8 year old human inside of you and at 80 you will too.So why not let your past teach you about who you are today and let who you are and want to be guide you into an amazing well lived life so that when your 80 you look back with admiration at what you accomplished.
**This does not have to look like your momma’s midlife crisis. You don’t have to learn to knit. Your circle of friends doesn’t have to be just the ladies you lunch with at work. You don’t have to sit around the house waiting for your children to come around. You don’t even have to babysit the grandkids, if you don’t want to. Mind blowing, right?
Reaching midlife doesn’t have to mean that life and adventure are over. You get to create the confidence to make this time in your life your grandest exploration ever!**

There is a distinct difference between arrogance and confidence. Listen in and discover which one you align with. If you ready to start feeling more confident in yourself. I encourage you to connect with.
I help midlife women create true self confidence so they can stop feeling like they don't matter.
Being a future focused thinker can either work in your favor or work against you. In this episode, I give you examples of each of these. From there you can decide which one will be of benefit to you as you are creating your future self.
Sometimes we cannot even see for ourselves what is happening with our own thoughts. We know that something is off, but we struggle to find the right questions to ask ourselves to determine what it is. Your coach can help you to identify the sneaky patterns of your brain. Your coach can also help you uplevel the practices you already have in place. Your coach will help you create your future with confidence, and help you to shift your focus from who you were to who you want to be and start living your life on purpose.
The problem with being a past focused thinker is that you block your brain from creating the future you want for yourself. Past focused thinking looks like regret from missed opportunities, not taking action when you thought you should even pain from lost relationships. Your brain will use these all against you as evidence and keep you stagnant.
Over the last couple of months I have been going through some changes. Some have been completely unexpected and kind of weird. But I get to decide if I want to sit in worry and confusion over what is going on, or if I want to be proactive and embrace the changes.
I am using the model in a different way to help me to create the results I actually want in my life.
Listen in to see how this works.
Here is the intentional model I discuss in this episode:
Circumstance: changes- rash, unexpected flow, career move
Result I want: I am embracing that these changes are happening for me and not against me
Thought: Natural life changes are not harmful to my happiness
Feeling: hopeful
Actions: I’m not allowing worry about what the future holds, I continue to work towards helping women through my coaching practices, I continue to create content for you and my clients that I know will help you to navigate the circumstances of your midlife, I reach out for help from my doctor over this fluke mother nature is tossing me, I reach out to my amazing network of friends who have gone through menopause before me, the allergies- continue the treatment my doctor has given me and not let my brain make it a problem, and just continue to tell my brain these are natural changes
That is can you trust yourself? I know your family, friends, employer can count on you, but do you trust yourself enough to ALWAYS have your own back?
In this episode, I give you 3 simple ways to begin to trust yourself.
Your purpose can be ever changing. It is not always going to look the same. Your purpose will have seasons just like your life has seasons. For a time, I was a stay-at-home mom until I started my teaching career and when that was no longer satisfying my appetite for growth. I decided that my purpose was to help other women realize that they don’t have to settle for a ho hum life at midlife. I decided that my purpose was to be an example to other women who are just like me.
Comparison is a sneaky little villain. Often we don't even realize we are doing it, but then we wonder why we have that love/hate relationship with the people we say are our friends. Comparison can also bring bring out the worst in you. In this episode, I give you three simple steps you can do to avoid the trap of being in comparison to others.
"What if" can propel us in two different directions. If you are going to choose "what if" be sure to give both sides equal air time because it doesn't always have to mean something negative. You get to decide.
I reached out to my ex-husbands significant other who is no longer my friend. I am sure that you can read between the lines as to why we are not friends. However, I put aside the fear of her not responding to me, the fear of what she would actually say if she did. The point is that it takes healing to overcome hurt and rejection so that you can move forward and allow other humans forgiveness.
Making big changes in life can be scary. They don't have to keep you stagnant. Today, I am talking about the four things I did before I resigned from my teaching career. You can implement all four of these strategies to any area of your life that you want to see change in. You can make big changes in your life that will move you towards your purpose and the fulfillment you desire. Don't let fear keep you from having an amazing life!
This week I revisit "manuals" with you. Manuals are those unspoken expectations we have on other people we have relationships with. We like to say things like, "My husband should know that I need help". We also use manuals in that we like to give our adult children our unsolicited advice based on our own experiences. Listen in for some easy tips to keep harmony with those you love by not having unmatched expectations.
I had a huge breakthrough in my own coaching practice, and I know this breakthrough will benefit others. There are beliefs that we have been carrying around for some times, and we often don't realize how those old beliefs cause us to react to circumstances that happen to us today. It is called a trauma response. When you hear how this actually works, you are going to be so much more aware when it does. And the good news is....................you can change.
It can be painful, but it is true. And without realizing it, that person just might be you. Listen in to see what I mean by you wanting yourself to fail.
You may not even realize that you are. In this episode, I outline different ways that we people please. We also tend to do it for different reasons. Listen in to see if you notice yourself in any of these examples. You also get to decide if this is a behavior that is pleasing YOU!
In this episode, I share with you a time recently when I found myself in a negative model. I explain to you just how the model works and I also talk you through discovering that what I was thinking was crap I don't have to believe. It was one of those situations where what they say about assumptions is really true. But as always, I decide how I want to show up, and I decide what I want to believe. Connect with me if you want to learn more.

Circumstance: Race day, I say words, they said words (unknown to me)
Thought: They are saying mean things about me.
Feeling: Disappointed
Action: look inward to all the things that are wrong with me, judging myself, thinking I shouldn't have reached out, I should just stay small
Results I am creating for myself: I am saying mean things about me.
Did you know that they thoughts you have been believing about yourself all this time is just a story? It is just something you have been believing on repeat all this time that your brain thinks that it is true. I hope this podcast gets you curious about the stories that you have been believing so much so that you are ready to start changing your story. You have that power.
Criticism from others can be extremely painful if we allow it. You do not have to believe other's opinions of you. It is completely your choice. In this episode, I do share with you a criticism that I do believe, but I also show you how I am changing so that this criticism no longer fits with who I am. I also urge you not to share our own self criticism aloud. It opens the door for others to agree with you which hurst more that what you were probably intending in the first place.
Let's let hard just be an adjective that describes something rather than allowing our brain to turn it into a feeling. When we tell ourselves something is hard, the likelihood of us pushing through hard to achieve the goal is so less likely. Let hard be an adjective and do the thing anyway. Midlife ladies you can do hard things to achieve what you want for your life!
I believe there are two different types of regret: the regret we feel when we don't do something we may have wanted to or the regret of doing something we "think" we shouldn't have. Let me help you navigate how to overcome both of these types. It takes stepping out of fear or allowing forgiveness.
Hot off the presses or into the mic I guess. In this episode, I tell you how I am keeping my hot flashes at bay! Hope you find this helpful!
This week I want to focus on your relationship with your significant others…………..note I say others because I think this work goes for all those significant relationships you have in your life. I mean all of those people who hold the closest spaces in your heart………..so I mean your spouse, your children even your parents because these are the people who are generally closest to us, who know the most about us, who we tend to love unconditionally, but also the ones who we tend to have expectations for…………..people who we expect to show up for us, but also people who also sometimes expect to hold our key to happiness.
How do you want to show up in the world? In this episode, I give you some practical things to think about as far as what we think we know and what is actual reality for how we show up for others in the world.
Your relationship with yourself will dictate how you can be the best version of yourself in all of your relationships. How you treat yourself truly does matter. Let me help you change your relationship with yourself.
Are you finding yourself in a rut after the hustle of the holiday season? It’s totally normal and most of us get it. Listen in to discover some tips on moving forward and recapturing your energy.
These are the things that will happen once you start making changes to your mindset. Keep showing up anyway. You get to choose the best version on you.
Have you done your Year End Review? What a powerful way to reflect on all the 2021 had to offer you as well as some things you don't mind getting rid of in 2022. In this episode I also give you some practical ways to brainstorm and set your goals with intention.
Did you even know that you had an inner mean girl? A voice in your brain that likes to criticize what you do, how you dress and even what you say! Although she will always be there to offer up her wisdom (not), you get to choose if you want to believe her. You get to decide if she's just talking smack!
In this episode we revisit manuals and discuss why manipulation never works. We cannot manipulate people into doing something we want them to do and still feel good about who we are.
We have a number of stories our brain tells around the things that happen to us on a daily basis. The model will help you to identify the thoughts you are thinking about those stories, and you get to choose if they are true or not.
Example of the model from this episode:
C- text, breakroom, treats, snacks
T- I have no control when it comes to holiday treats
F-guilty
A- eat off plan, judging yourself, "I can't do this", screw it eating for remainder of the day
R- Your brain is out of control-it is looking for the evidence it needs to prove your thought right
There are several factors that are holding us back from the life we truly desire. Listen in to hear about the stories we are choosing to believe vs the stories that we could believe.
I did not know that you could still have dreams as an adult. I thought you just did your adulting and that was it. Listen in to what happened to me once I started to allow myself to dream, and what is happening now that I am making my dreams a reality.
Let me help you make your dreams your reality.
Are your thoughts around the holidays trying to create drama in your brain? What if you had the power to choose something different? Guess what, you do. Listen in to see how I changed the drama in my head to honor myself and my family.
The holidays can sometimes bring up a ton of different thoughts and emotions. How are you handling the holidays? It is totally your choice and your decision!
There are ways that you can handle things without overthinking them or indulging in worry. When you are in constant doom and gloom your brain will automatically look for that emotion even when there is no reason to.
When we are not taking care of ourselves, we sometimes come to a point when we hit a wall. Our body and our mind are so exhausted that enough is enough. Take some time to yourself before the wall comes.
Did you know you are not responsible for other peoples feelings? You are only responsible for your own. You get to choose your happiness! Best news ever!!!

Navigating midlife is scary. There are so many obstacles our brain tries to throw at us. We are not always confident with the direction our lives are going. In this episode, I ask you to ponder one important question. Who do you want to be?
Love for our self is an emotion we have the opportunity to choose. Also, the capacity for others to love does not depend on if we are loveable or not loveable. We are 100 % loveable right now just as we are.
In this episode, I encourage you to recognize the thoughts that keep you focused on your past. I also provide an exercise to examine how much of your time is spent on creating your future.

Are you using food for more than just fuel? There are so many ways we use food that will definitely hinder or derail your weight loss goals. It's going to take changing your relationship to make lasting changes.
In this episode I talk about recognizing the thoughts that we have about ourselves and questioning if they are true. I also talk about the " not enough" thought.......................and how do you even know if your not measuring up.
Part I-This is a two part episode. In the episode, I explain that lasting weight loss cannot come from counting calories or cutting out food groups. You must change your relationship with yourself as well as with food to make lasting weight loss changes.
In this episode, I share with you how fear and overwhelm go hand in hand. I share with you four thought patterns that lead us to feeling overwhelmed, and three suggestions of things you should think about when you are feeling overwhelmed.
We have the option to create whatever feelings we want. This episode teaches you how to be mindful about what you are feeling, and that it's important to listen to your body for the feelings that are available to you. You have the power to choose.
Why is examining your thoughts so important? This is important because there are going to be so many times throughout your life's journey that you're going to find yourself questioning, you're going to find yourself curious about where you're at, what's brought you here and where you want to go next. So it’s extremely important for you to realize how powerful your thoughts are in creating this next chapter of you.
In this episode, I explain how the Model can be utilized to identify your thoughts which create your feelings. Using the Model in our daily lives allows us the opportunity to examine any problem or situation in our lives and determine on a deeper level the thoughts we are thinking and how they are affecting our outcomes. The Model can also help us to mindfully create the outcomes we actually want in our lives by deciding ahead of time the thoughts that we will need to think in order to get us to where we want to be.
C=Husband didn't take out the trash
T=Wife said she "had to take out the trash".
F=mad
A=complaining, judging husband
R= creating evidence for herself the thought that she has to do it in order for it to be take care of
