Join me, Terri Kellums, on a heartfelt journey through the world of gratitude on our second day of the 12 Days of Christmas series. While exploring this theme, I opened up about a tradition close to my heart—one that began with my daughters and a daily group message to share things we're thankful for. This practice not only strengthened our family bond but led to an expansion of my circle of gratitude, enveloping friends and loved ones in a shared experience of appreciation. I'll take you through the highs and lows of maintaining a gratitude practice, touching upon those challenging days when finding things to be thankful for seems like an insurmountable task.
This episode offers you a 'life hack' for those tough mornings, starting with identifying five things you're grateful for, from the familiar aroma of coffee to the cozy caress of your bedsheets. Whether you're looking to enhance your relationships, boost your health, or enrich your emotional and spiritual well-being, this episode is your invitation to cultivate a habit of gratitude that can profoundly shift your perspective and bring renewed joy every day. Let's learn how to turn the ordinary into an opportunity for thankfulness.

As the holidays wrap us in their familiar embrace, I find myself navigating a sea of emotions that many of us know all too well. In this heartfelt reflection, let me take you on a journey through the joys, the stresses, and the poignant absences that shape our yuletide celebrations. My personal narrative intertwines with a special 12-day series of episodes, each a beacon intended to light the way toward finding renewed meaning in our cherished traditions and the closing chapter of another year. Together, let's explore the symphony of Christmas music that has become a thread in the fabric of my family life, and I'll share why it matters so much.
Stepping into the realm of sustainability, I recount the spark that ignited my eco-conscious voyage—a simple garden compost. This week's discussion unveils the surprising cascade of choices that followed, from a dramatic reduction in plastic bag usage to embracing glass over plastic. I draw a parallel between these modest, personal shifts and their potential to ripple outwards, influencing greater change. As we unwrap the symbolism of the "12 Days of Christmas," I invite you to reflect on the themes of protection, nurturing, and the abundance that growth brings, just as I have. Woven into our conversation, these themes serve as an undercurrent, challenging us to consider the impact of our own protective layers and the nurturing we grant to others and ourselves.

Ever wondered if the way we perceive ourselves dictates our behaviors and emotions? Or if the people we choose to surround ourselves with are more of a reflection on us than on them? Tune in as we dissect these intriguing concepts through the enlightening metaphor of 'The Three Chairs', introduced by Dr. Karyn Gordon on the Resetters podcast. The chairs stand symbolically, each encapsulating a different attitude and representing the spectrum of self-perception - from self-doubt to arrogance to the golden middle ground of confidence laced with humility.
We further plunge into the depths of self-perception, analyzing its impact on our behavior and emotions, all through the lens of the acclaimed TV show 'Six Feet Under'. We'll also touch upon the natural evolution of friendships and the paramount importance of being around positive influences. We share our personal experiences and reflections on the subject, aiming to provide valuable insights for our listeners. For those keen on exploring these themes further, we recommend Dr. Karen Gordon's book "The Three Chairs" and Dr. Mindy Pelz' Resetter podcast. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom, underlining the significance of self-awareness, intentional actions, and personal growth. So, ready to take the plunge into a journey of self-discovery and transformation? Buckle up!

There's something sneaky that creeps into our minds around the holiday season - expectations. We've all experienced the disappointment that can come when expectations are not met. This episode is all about unpacking these mental projections, figuring out how societal norms and personal experiences shape them, and, most importantly, how to manage them effectively. We'll take a closer look at the thin line separating realistic from unrealistic expectations and equip you with strategies to avoid disappointment.
Beyond the disappointment, we delve deeper into how unmet expectations can impact relationships and stir personal growth. We'll share insights on how crushed hopes can create a chasm between people and instigate resentment, yet also present invaluable opportunities for candid communication and better understanding of one another. You'll hear us talk about disappointment's surprising role in self-reflection and personal development, pushing us to foster resilience, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. Expectations are everywhere, from our careers to our personal relationships and body image. Join us as we explore ways to manage them effectively through self-awareness, understanding our values, identifying patterns, practicing mindfulness, and seeking feedback.

Let's start by defining these two types of stories.
Redemption sequences are described as narratives that transition from negative emotion toward positive emotion, while contamination sequences are narratives that transition from positive emotion toward negative emotion.
Imagine how your life might change if you could harness the power of your personal narrative to influence your mental health and overall well-being. In this thought-provoking discussion, we draw on the compelling research of Jonathan Adler to explore the transformative potential of turning pain into purpose. We uncover the fascinating contrast of redemption versus contamination narratives, and how one's life story can significantly shape their reality.
Life is composed of alternate realities and the paths we choose to follow. One such journey took a woman from the precipice of military boot camp to the unexpected discovery of motherhood. Her narrative, stretching over a decade, helps us to understand the weight of our decisions, and how they can redefine our personal stories. Moreover, we venture into the realm of cultural narratives, investigating their major role in shaping our identities, and how therapy can help reconcile the expectations born from these narratives with our personal experiences.
Finally, we navigate the concept of agency, considering how it can guide us toward making the right choices in life. We reflect on the impact of leadership changes within a company, and how these can cause a drastic shift in the work environment. The allure of 'golden handcuffs' is another facet we explore and how this can create a barrier to leaving a job, even when it might be the best course of action. We close by acknowledging that our hardships can be woven into redemption narratives and that we can choose which parts of our stories to emphasize. So, join us for an enlightening conversation that may inspire you to see your own story in a different light.

Well, hold onto your headphones because we're about to give you a fresh perspective on this. We've been thinking the same and have decided to revamp the podcast to reflect our vision of helping women become the best versions of themselves.

Our honest chats are not just about making us feel good but to help others think differently and grow in their relationships with themselves and others. As we look to the future, we're excited about the new season focused on relationships, but we're also taking a break to focus on our health. Join us on this thrilling journey of self-discovery and growth, and be part of this incredible ripple effect.
POEM
I will not die an unlived life
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.

Through this difficult time, mentors like Jack Becker provided unwavering support, helping her finish her doctoral degree and reshape her identity in the world of academia. We also delve into the concept of location grief as Amy navigates starting anew in Phoenix, discussing the challenges of building a sense of community and the fear and anxiety that come with beginning a new chapter.
Finally, we reflect on the importance of strong friendships and supportive relationships in our lives, celebrating the cheerleaders and partners in crime who lift us up during our darkest moments. Dr. Diaz's story serves as a powerful reminder of our capacity for growth and reinvention, even in the face of adversity. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and join us for this heartfelt conversation – and don't forget to connect with us on social media to continue the discussion!

Allison Jayne Ewing, a psychotherapist and EFT practitioner. Being a divorcee herself, she co-founded http://DatingAfterYourDivorce.com a date coaching platform to help women find healthy relationships. (visit her website for a free ebook)
Surprised to be divorced at midlife, Allison realized none of the fairytales she read growing up said what happened when you did NOT live happily ever after.
Dazed and confused by her sudden single status, she embarked on the dreaded task of having to date again.
Allison noticed she wasn't alone. Many of her single friends struggled with dating and meeting shitty guys while desperately searching for ‘the one’.
The turning point was when she found the secret to turning on her feminine energy and attracting adoring men.
As a psychotherapist and an EFT practitioner for 25 years, Allison decided to focus on helping other midlife women find healthy available single men who will love and adore them. She has worked with hundreds of women to clear their unconscious blocks and manifest the life of their dreams.
A sought-after and entertaining speaker, Allison is frequently requested to speak at events and conferences.
Her book "Find Love Again" is a guide to igniting your inner goddess and finding the man of your dreams.

In this episode, Amanda and I first celebrate the big news that the “What Women Want Today” podcast has been ranked in the top 5% globally!! Thank you, loyal listeners! Next, I take the hot seat and Amanda guides me through a series of questions designed to determine whether I am well-suited to a career in coaching, speaking, and training. She draws on the work of Mark Savickas, author of the Career Style Interview, who looks at a person’s life as a “novel” being written with clues that lead to themes and unresolved issues that are expressed and healed in their careers. Listen until the end to hear my answers to these questions and see if this process could also HELP you find a dream career:
- *Who did you admire when you were growing up?
- *What magazines did you read regularly?
- *What do you like to do with your free time? What are your hobbies?
- *Do you have a favorite saying or motto?
- *What were your three favorite subjects in high school? What subjects did you hate?
- *What are your earliest recollections?

In this episode, I invite my long time soul sister, Amanda Kieper, to the show. Amanda is a professor of speech and leadership development, a certified John Maxwell coach, and a clinical mental health counselor in Rockford, Illinois. We have a blast discussing:
*How we met and why divorce led us to a deeper connection
*How female friendships grow, evolve, and sometimes dissolve
*How personality impacts communication choices
*The importance of travel and adventure with friends
*Interrupting generational patterns of withdraw and avoidance in midlife
*Self-awareness and blocks to growth
*Grieving the death of your parents
*Designing a life with fewer regrets
*Gottman's emotional bank account and sustainable relationships
*Building resilience
*How growing up in the trailer park influences our perspectives on life and love
Amanda was born and raised in the midwest about 90 minutes from Chicago, IL and 30 minutes from Beloit, Wisconsin. She earned a master's degree from Northern Illinois University in Interpersonal Communication in 1999 and went back for another Ms. Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling after she was diagnosed with panic disorder in 2004. Her passion and personal mission is to help others intentionally design a life with fewer regrets. She works with corporations, schools, and independent clients every month and it's the variety, adventure, and challenge of helping each new person uncover blind spots and reach personal mastery that fuels her flame. Her guiding values for 2023 are to live WHOLEHEARTEDLY in HARMONY with self and others and to cultivate more ORDER and discipline. She currently works at Rock Valley College and Forest City Consulting but dreams of one day living on the beach and continuing to do the work she loves. She enjoys spending time with family and friends and suggests that everyone read, Irving Yalom's, "Momma and the Meaning of Life."

During this week's episode, I interview Deanna Kuempel, a survivor of Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking.
This is a heavy topic and could trigger some listeners.
- Who is at risk for human trafficking
- Physical abuse versus emotional abuse and control
- Repeating the cycle of abuse
- Why the victim protects the abuser
Learn more about Deanna in her BIO.
Deanna was born & raised in Chicagoland and studied Business & Accounting at Harper College. Before meeting her husband, she had a small event-planning business & offered personal training services. Deanna has an extensive background as an entrepreneur & leader. She was VP of Key Accounts & Business Operations for a $20 million transmission remanufacturing facility with 150 employees. She simultaneously ran four other entities (3 commercial real estate holding businesses & 1 installation arm for our manufactured transmissions) for 10yrs. Before a life-changing event, she closed one of the most significant contracts in my career with the State of South Carolina for 5yrs, estimated at $20 million. In one contract, she doubled the size of the business. She has many multi-million contracts/Key Accounts (FGA, Verizon, AER Dhamer Powertrain, and more). All have given her stellar recommendations.
But In 2016, she was forced to start over. Deanna always had a passion for Fashion. So she engaged a design company out of Soho, NY, to start on that journey. In 2017 she founded Deanna Marie Label - where she designed, produced, and launched three collections over a few years. I successfully fulfilled a Kickstarter campaign raising over $5k to make my first collection. I was on the runway in Rhode Island at StyleWeek. Deanna was a finalist for Style Chicago for the Cadillac Design Challenge and ended her fashion adventure with the last collection at a significant runway charity event against Human Trafficking at Stan Mansion in Chicago. During that time, she also rolled out a skincare line with her label and still has a steady client base.
In 2019 she read an article on how to start a podcast and thought, "I don't know who the heck I think I am, but I'm gonna do it!" Deanna says, "I have overcome much abuse & trauma, so I decided on the name Label Free with the help of my best friend, Julie Bryant. I truly live my life free of any labels. I focus on talking to entrepreneurs that are living life on their terms and can offer insight or a piece of wisdom for the audience." Since then, it has been such a great experience as I have grown and extende

Think about how often you've been angry with your spouse over something that didn't matter. You know, like the time they left the toilet seat up when they went to work or the time they forgot to take out the trash before bed.
It's okay to be angry about those things—I mean, we all have our little pet peeves and things that irk us. That's normal! But when it comes to co-parenting with your ex, you need to put aside that anger and focus on being a team that works together for the sake of your kids.
In this episode, we talk about some ways that you can forgive and move forward with a positive attitude so that everyone wins: you get to be happy without holding onto resentment, and your kids get two parents who are working together in their best interests.

Like many women, you may feel invisible once you reach middle age. You may feel pressure to mask the signs of advancing age. You may be feeling your body changing...drastically. You may have had to make difficult choices about family and career that men your age did not have to make.
Studies shows that midlife, the age range that spans between 40 and 65, can be quite tumultuous for women.

On the flip side, there are a whole lot of positive changes for us as well.
- We know who we are.
- We experience a great deal of freedom once we've established our identity
- We have meaningful relationships.
- As we age, we shed our superficial friendships and spend more of our precious time with people we care about.

What is it?
How can we increase our Mastery?
What roadblocks can stop us from growing in this area.
Highly effective people understand that they have power and influence over their enviroment. The have the ability to take action, utilize resources and are not as easily overwhelmed and stress.
Trust in your self creates a deeper sense of self confidence.
We learn by doing, we learn from the mistakes and we grow.
Mastery is both physical and mental and you have to be aware of the traps like negative self-talk, indecision, comparison and self-judgement and holding our self to an unrealistic level of perfection.

Jean Kuhn, is a serial entrepreneur who became self-employed on April 29, 1985, at 8:52pm, when the nurse put that first baby in her arms, and she immediately knew she wasn’t going back to a job she hated.
In 2002, Jean bought her first bankrupt franchise business, and turned it into a profitable cash generating machine in 12 months.
In 2006, she bought a second bankrupt franchise business and created another cash generating machine in less than 12 months.
In both cases, Jean added $100,000 to the bottom line for each company in the first year. She did this with no list, no help or training from the franchise, and no budget for marketing. She created low cost/no cost marketing strategies that she still teaches her clients today.
Jean, has been a successful business strategist since 2006, when she started helping all types of businesses grow and scale their businesses.
She is here today to share some low cost/no cost marketing strategies with you.

Mother to 2 children (Jazz 16 years and Sol, 8 years).
Tracy is a Group Class Trainer, Personal Trainer, Training Manager, Mentor and
Fitness Business Consultant, Podcaster.
After 33 years in the fitness industry, Tracy still continues to coach and
lead group classes to feel what the people in her classes are
experiencing.The energy, the vibe and the shared love of movement are a
reflection of the passion she gifts to to every person in every class.
Tracy has grown up in the fitness industry, from a youthful 18-year old
“aerobics” teacher through to managing personal training and group
training teams in New Zealand.
As one of the original Master Trainers for Les Mills New Zealand, Tracy
was head hunted to support the growth of Fitness First Asia and moved to
Hong Kong and then Malaysia. Over 5 years, she trained 1000’s of
instructors and built a support management team for the rapid roll out of
group classes.
Setting up a support business for Les Mills in South East Asia required
building teams across business and training. After 7 years and a new
trainer team of 80 international trainers across 8 countries including China,
Tracy joined her husband in setting up their own brand of fitness boutique
clubs - FIRE Fitness.
Tracy’s vision for fitness is to mentor and build teams to deliver engaging
fitness experiences across multiple platforms - LIVE workouts and digital
workouts - reaching a wider audience to change more lives.
“I love to see the potential in others when they may not have realised it for
themselves. They are aware that they have a passion for fitness but don’t
have the game plan to turn that passion into action. I thrive on helping
them navigate the steps to make their passion a fulfilling and growth-
fueled career” Tracy
After 20 years in Asia, Tracy and her family repatriated to New
Zealand and whilst in Managed Isolation, Tracy started to build out
the concept of her podcast “Sexy Ageing” - a community that
celebrates the gift of ageing and debunks that notion that life after 40
is all “downhill”. Conversations with experts, scientists, advocates and
entrepreneurs across the physical, mental and social challenges with
ageing and how to make the second half of your life the best part of
your life.

On today's episode, Part 2 of Hormone Secrets with Author and retired MD Robert Yoho we continue our discussion of his book and have some straight talk about the benefits of hormone therapy.
Robert Yoho's Book Hormone Secrets Buy it HERE
PREFACE: If you do not know by now that corporations have disfigured healthcare, you have been living under a rock. For example, hormone therapy is claimed to be hazardous, but a century's science and experience prove its value. When these natural substances are low or absent replacing them may be the safest and most effective treatment we have. In contrast, drugs are foreign substances that cause side effects and worse.Hormone supplementation potentially treats or improves:Longevity: Low levels of thyroid, growth hormone, estrogen, testosterone, and DHEA are linked to premature death.Cancer: Estrogen, DHEA, testosterone, progesterone, melatonin and human growth hormone all have protective effects against cancer.General Health: In women under age 60, long-term estrogen replacement therapy decreases strokes, blood clots, colon cancer, diabetes, and macular degeneration. It reduces the likelihood of tooth loss, depression, osteoporosis, and death because of bone fracture. Breast cancer is unaffected, contrary to common opinion. Avoidance of estrogen was estimated to cause 50,000 excess deaths over en years in a Yale StudyAlzheimer's Disease: When long-term care costs are included, this is the most expensive ailment of all. Estrogen decreases the chances of getting AD significantly when it is started within 10 years of menopause.Heart disease: Over 40 observational studies have shown that giving estrogen to women reduces coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and deaths. When men have higher levels, they have less heart disease. Giving natural estrogen to deficient men improves cholesterol but does not increase blood clotting.Depression: Estrogen, DHEA, progesterone, testosterone, and melatonin all have anti-depressant effects. Thyroid has been studied and used for depression for over fifty years.Obesity: Thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and human growth hormone reduce unhealthy belly fat and promote weight loss."Bio-identical" hormones are the same as those found in humans. These are safe, affordable, and have few side effects. But since these natural body substances cannot be easily patented, they are barely profitable for big PHARMA. So the drugmakers concoct proprietary limitations from chemicals or animals. Their prices are extortionate.Stories have been spread that hormones such as estrogen and testosterone cause cancer, heart disease, blood clots, and other diseases. With few exceptions, these are false. And for insulin, growth hormone and others, we have allowed the drugmakers to exorbitantly increase their fees using proprietary manufacturing. The result is that hormones are overpriced and difficult to prescribe. Doctors are pressured to use toxic, expensive patent drugs instead. These trends are squandering our resources and costing us years of healthy life.
Part One of the podcast we have a lively discussion about menopause and the benefits of hormone supplemenation. We dive into the differences between the types of HRT and the benefits. We also begin our discussion on thyroid.

We want to feel seen and heard, respected, appreciated and loved.” Sondra admits “the truth is ..

How is your purpose related to my laundry room? On today's show, I talk to you about how sometimes you have to tear something down that you feel like you've already worked on. If you are working toward a purpose you need to make mental space and time to work on it. Clearing out your mental clutter is all about creating a new mindset for what you are trying to achieve and that means you might have to throw out old beliefs to make room for new ones. On the path to discovering purpose watch for the SHOULDS, HAVE TO's and other people's expectations for your life.

She launched Revive Your Midlife Marriage after 25 years as an educator. After going through a difficult time in her marriage, she and her husband were at a crossroads. Either they changed things, or the marriage wouldn't last. By learning new skills of relating to each other, they were able to rebuild their marriage from the ground up by learning essential skills that few couples ever learn. This experience birthed a passion for helping other women be an impetus for change in their marriages. While Deanna believes it takes two to tango, one partner has to invite the other to the dance. She offers a 3-month program for women taking them from where they are to where they want to be in their marriages. You can visit her at reviveyourmidlifemarriage.com.

Lorna Shannon Episode 2 On today’s show, I interview Lorna Shannon. Lorna has an impressive list of credentials. Her background is in Nursing, Midwifery, and Family Planning (Sexual and Reproductive Health). She is certified in: Advanced Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) as well as being a Master Life Coach. She specializes in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) for Stress and Anxiety, Insomnia, Confidence & Self Esteem, Addictions, and Weight Issues. She has a BSc (Hons) in Health and Social Care, Post Graduate Diploma in Specialist Community Public Health Nursing (SCPHN), and Diplomas in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Applied Social Sciences, Health and Social Welfare, Criminology and Asthma. She has always been intrigued as to the reasons for different human behavior, which lead her to study: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and ultimately Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). RTT lets you review an issue, not re-live it and when you get to see things from a different perspective, you get to let them go. RTT is powerful, transformative, and life-changing. So change your thoughts - change your life! Lorna and I had a great discussion on the benefits of combining Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and ultimately Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT). I share how she used her form of therapy to help relieve my 10-year case of insomnia in one session followed by a nightly recording to retrain my brain. We discussed the long term detrimental effects long term insomnia has on the body. It literally touches every organ, can cause diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, depression, stroke, and even some forms of cancer. Long term insomnia left untreated can shorten your lifespan. Lorna shares how we can update our brain’s software by using affirmations. She recommends present tense 3-4 words starting with “I am” … She says put it on your mirror with lipstick, put it on your screensaver. Repeat it often, the brain loves repetition. “Every behavior begins with a thought.” Don’t use the possessive form of a pronoun unless it is something you WANT to own. Don’t say “My depression, My anxiety, My insomnia. Be mindful of the words you say to yourself.. Your brain’s software is listening.

What are the dangers of taking gabapentin? Gabapentin is generally a safe drug when taken according to a doctor’s instructions, but there are some risks. Side effects can include sleepiness, loss of coordination, trouble with vision, and dry mouth. Less common side effects are weight gain, edema, fever, headaches, abnormal thoughts,...
