Let's Get Intentional: Recent Episodes
Leslie Gloor Duncan
Let's Get Intentional is about getting unstuck and finding how to reengage with your life, with your family, with your friends and your career. I am on my own journey and for the past 11 months, I've been committing to myself in new ways. I am learning who I am again. I am turning 50 in 2023 and this is my midlife reawakening. Buckle up! Let's embark on this journey of life together. Topics will include: Fitness, Nutrition, Menopause, Motherhood, Marriage, Career, Life Transitions, Gallup Strengths, Mental Health and more! I'll have guests for some episodes and other episodes will feature moi.
How easy (or hard) is it to be honest with yourself? Do you berate yourself or are you your own best cheerleader? What's your self-talk like? If you have goals (and I hope you do), what happens when you don't accomplish them? These are important questions and ones I explore in today's episode!
This is a harder topic. Today I'm looking at the idea of addiction and aimlessness. I fall into this and it requires me to get really honest with myself. When was the last time you got real with yourself?
Excuse the background noise. 😜I'm reflecting on alignment and talking about how we need to understand we don't reach alignment and stay in alignment. We might reach it one day and get thrown off course the next day.Alignment isn't static. It's not a state we reach and stay in. It's a state we reach, re-reach and then reach again. Do you believe the journey is linear? If so, it's time to rethink your path. This is not one single hill. This is about constantly recalibrating and adjusting. Will you recalibrate this week, this month?
In today's episode, I share about giving myself permission to want more out of life. Life had gotten too comfy. Not only was it too comfortable, but i let my light dim. Can you relate?
The struggle is real they say. It's true. To struggle is to be human. Do you anticipate that things will be hard? How do you honour the struggle?Where have I been? Join me on today's episode where I talk about honouring the struggle.
Have you stopped to consider, are you living in a caged, comfortable or charged way?This framework helps me consider what needs to shift and change when I get stuck.
How do you perform under pressure. Where do you go? Do you struggle to stay present? Today I reflect on this and more 💗
We all know about compound interest in our investments. What about compound interest in your health, fitness, leadership, communication journey?Putting in the daily / weekly work will eventually pay off with compound interest. When we quit, we only cheat ourselves.
I've caught myself going inward lately. When I do this, it's often when I've been feeling overwhelmed. Going inward helps me focus. It also helps me process what's going on. Today I reflect on how going inward helps me stay on track. When do you go inward? Does it help you or hinder you? Would love to hear!
How many times have you started something and quit? How many times have you had to restart? What if you stopped quitting? What if you just kept going? What if you kept going because your life depended on it? I have started and stopped on many occasions. It's hard to get restarted. This time I plan to not quit. What's my secret? Surrounding myself with people who are also on the same path. Don't start with an end goal in mind. Start with your future self in mind. Start with how you want to feel when you reach 50 or 60 or 70. Start with thinking about your 80 year old self! Sometimes we need to embrace the mundane tasks of life. Lean into it. Learn to love it. You'll never regret investing in yourself in those ways!

What is the definition of agency? It is an action or intervention, it is an area where we wish to produce a particular effect. We can choose agency over many aspects of our lives but often we sit back and prefer not to act. Sometimes it's easier to complain or wallow than act. Have you ever felt that way? I know I certainly have! We might not have agency in all aspects of our lives but have you done a bit of an agency audit? Where can you increase agency? Where are you feeling out of control? What are some ways you might be able to choose agency or the ability to act, over choosing despair.

Do you agree that the world needs a bit more love? What if we started a movement of loving people back to life? Who wouldn't want to live in a world where people were full of aliveness. A world where people's light wasn't dimmed. Today's episode we explore the idea of loving people back to life. I'm challenging you to join my movement. Let's start with loving ourselves first and begin a ripple from there.

Reflections on my Family day weekend and how I spent it binging on a Podcast about grief! One of the most human experiences we can encounter is loss yet we don't always do a great job talking about our loss and our grief. Here I share how crying while listening to Anderson Cooper's "All there Is" podcast helped me reconnect with my parents and celebrate Family day with remembering them.

Today is a solo episode. I have had so many people reach out and ask, "How do you do it." How do you continue to show up for yourself? How did you get started? How do you keep going? People desperately want to make changes and feel better and yet something is keeping them stuck. I empathize with that sentiment. I lived it for YEARS!!! I had to finally be open to the idea that there was another possibility. I needed to get really honest with myself and come clean. I needed to set boundaries with my partner and myself. Take a listen, see if anything resonates for you.

Living intentionally has saved me! There's no denying that my life has been transforming as I have embraced the idea of getting intentional. This is my final episode of 2023 and one that focuses on how and where you can begin if you are wanting to be more present in your life. Forget about life happening to you. When you live with intention you begin to direct your path.

Do you have questions about using inclusive language? Are you curious about pronouns and why they matter? Today I'm joined by Kate Barnes, a dear friend, who openly shares their journey. Kate also provides some helpful resources. All of them are linked in the show notes. Let's learn and unlearn together! Let's get intentional about our language!Resources mentioned in the episode: Differentiating between gender vs. sex vs. sexual orientation (Rainbow Health Ontario: https://www.rainbowhealthontario.ca/news-publications/glossary/) Practice exercises and worksheet (UNC): https://showyourlovetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Pronoun-Practice.pdf Unsure of conjugation for pronouns www.practicewithpronouns.com "Imagine a Pair of Boots" from Ivan Coyote's "The Slow Fix" Collection of Short Stories (available via London Public Library). There's an excerpt of their short story "By Any Other Name" linked here (choose "Read Excerpt (PDF)" button) that captures an example of someone who transfers their pain instead of transforming it. Resources not mentioned but equally helpful: Listen to people with lived experience. This includes people in your community who share similar contexts and includes more well-known folks beyond those contexts. Examples I follow include Alok Vaid-Menon (advocacy and stand-up comedy; website: https://www.alokvmenon.com, Insta: alokvmenon), Bob The Drag Queen (Drag Queen from Ru Pauls' drag race; Insta: bobthedragqueen, podcast: siblingrivalry), Mercury Stardust (advocate for making DIY in the home accessible, especially for women; website: https://mercurystardust.com, Insta: mercurystardusttopz, new book called "Safe and Sound"), Jeffrey Marsh (advocate and ....; Insta: thejeffreymarsh), Clara Olshansky (comic and writer; Insta: claraolshansky), and Sam Smith (Insta: samsmith; singer and songwriter). Or find your own folks to learn from, there are non-binary folks in many niches! NPR: A Guide to Gender Identity Terms: https://www.npr.org/2021/06/02/996319297/gender-identity-pronouns-expression-guide-lgbtq (terms about gender/sex, the manners around asking/using pronouns, what different combos of pronouns can mean, and how to navigate when someone’s name is different than what’s on their ID).

Do you ever say, I'll be happy when...Rather than waiting for happiness/ joy to arrive, what if you were in charge of curating it and bringing it into your daily practice?My husband turned to me one day about 10 years ago and said "I feel like I sucked the joy out of you." In that moment, I realized I had lost my way. It took me time but I'm happy to report joy and happiness can be created. Happiness isn't something we wait for. Happiness is finding joy in the small things. It's about gratitude. It's also about focusing on your daily habits and carving out space and time for YOU. This awareness has brought joy back into my life. I'm purposeful now about bringing joy into my life regularly. Are you intentional about doing this for yourself?

Something I have been thinking a lot about in my healing journey is the idea of learning to transform my pain rather than transferring it to others. In this episode I explore some steps that have helped me process and transform my pain. This is a work in progress folks but the first step is creating awareness of the pain. Naming it and then finding ways to transform it.

In this episode, I'm joined by a Connie. Connie and I met almost 2 years ago and she has been one of the greatest gifts I've received from my health journey. I never expected meeting and making friends as part of this journey! I invited Connie on the podcast to share a bit about her personal journey, especially as it relates to bouncing back from injury, healing yourself by listening to your body and not being afraid to try something new even if you've tried it before and created a story about it not being for you.We all experience setbacks. It's how we bounce back from them that matters. I hope you enjoy our conversation!I'd love to hear from you.

I can't be the only person who listens to something and then immediately sends it to as many people as possible.

In this episode I'm joined by Bill Kelly from Bill Kelly Spirit Messages. Bill entered my life about 2.5 years ago (maybe 3.5) but who's counting. Meeting Bill has had a big impact on my life. He shares a little about his past and what brought him to his calling. He shares that we all have a choice to accept healing. Bill shares that when we accept healing, we become open to changing how we think about ourselves. Most of what keeps us stuck is our mindset and the stories we tell ourselves that keep us afraid of growing, changing and shining our innate light. Bill says we all have the capability to do what he does. Would you agree? Listen with an open mind and open heart and let me know what you think!

We all have mental health. Our mental health falls on a continuum. Here I share a bit about my struggles with my mental health set backs and how seeking help got me through the tough times. Having a plan and knowing who you would reach out to if you ever need support is a great first step. Get to know supports in your community. Having a help seeking attitude can make all the difference. I'm happy to report I am in a much better place now mentally, physically and emotionally. It's a journey and it takes daily practice! Drop the shame. Drop the judgement. Show yourself and others radical compassion.

Today I welcomed my first guest on the Podcast! Kelly Howard has over 25 years of experience coaching women. She helps them prioritize their fitness so they can feel great and have more fun in their 2nd act of life and beyond. Kelly is the Author of Fit, Active and Ageless for Life, just released this summer.
We chat about how being intentional leads to more freedom. She shares her insights into why it's essential to build in "play" time, wild card days and finding things that intrigue you. As women, we often focus too much on all of our responsibilities but to what end? Does it ever end? No! It's time to stop feeling guilty about scheduling in time for play.

Feeling frustrated and not sure what's going on? If you're anything like me, you turned 45 and all of a sudden you couldn't figure out what was going on with your energy and that extra weight around the middle. I had two babies and was able to lose that weight in a reasonable time but after 40 things changed. What I didn't realize is that we NEVER learned how to tap into nutrition to change things. I've been on a journey the past 18 months to learn all about how we can use food to heal ourselves. It's an inside job! Most of us (especially women) have been undereating for a very long time. We haven't been getting enough protein, healthy fats and fibre filled carbs to really fuel everything we do in a day. I'm at a healthy weight now, the strongest I've ever been and I'm eating a ton of food. I have lost 70 lbs! This hasn't been about restriction or intensive cardio. I don't even do high impact cardio. It's mostly nutrition, being intentional with my choices, doing strength training and some no impact cardio. At 50 I feel better than I did at 30! Your body is craving all kinds of sugar and processed carbs because it's lacking nutrients. Give it the proper balance of nutrients and it will be life changing. No joke! Stop stressing your body out by undernourishing it.

September is a busy time. It's stressful for many of us. This year our family has added stress with our daughter starting first year of college, my husband is prepping for an intense 8 day retreat in the wilderness and I'm short staffed at work and in our busiest time of the year. September can also be exciting, energizing and fun. I am trying to find something fun and energizing each day. We get to choose what we see. I'm trying not to dwell in the overwhelm, although sometimes it gets the better of us. Take a listen to how I'm working through stress this month. I'd love to know what your strategies are! I'm always looking for tools for my personal toolbox. Thanks for listening!

A group of us have started the Gut Protocol again and it has me thinking a lot about our food system and how much we're sold on "convenience" foods. Have you taken time to read labels and learn about them? Do you look at how much added sugar is in even "healthy foods?"
It this episode I talk about the Gut Protocol program and how it has helped me really learn what not only works for me. It has taught me so much about hidden ingredients and things we need to pay more attention to. Ever wonder why you have some extra weight around your belly? Feeling bloated? It could be an issue with insulin resistance and sugars hidden in your foods. Take a listen. If you'd like more info on the Gut Protocol, reach out. It's been life changing for me and so many others.

Today's the day! I'm half a century. I wanted to share some thoughts and reflections. I hope you can find something useful in the episode. One thing I know is that I don't have it all figured out and that's ok. I'm learning. I'm trying. I'm embracing my humanity more than ever. I feel more like myself than ever before. I'll take that as a win. This is my final episode of season 1. Thanks for listening and have a wonderful summer!
What are you holding onto that is no longer serving you? It's ok to admit it. We all do it. We hold on to thought patterns and ways of being because initially they maybe helped us but then we wake up one day and realize that it's no longer serving us and in fact, it is holding us back. This is your reminder to give yourself permission to let it go. Risk being human. Forgive yourself. Love yourself. I promise if you can begin to do this for yourself, life becomes a bit more meaningful and beautiful 🙏💗.
When we're young we take our mobility, our flexibility, our health and so much else for granted. Until one day we wake up and we realize things have changed. We struggle to get up off the floor. We have aches and pains everywhere. It starts slowly initially and then things seem to slide downhill quickly. Or at least that's what happened with me. Curious what you took for granted in your youth?
Burnout happens over time. Big and small things chipping away at our ability to cope. I was reluctant to label what I was experiencing as Burnout until I knew I couldn't continue on the path I was on. Have you experienced burnout? If so, how have you overcome it? Are you currently experiencing burnout? If so, I see you. I hear you. I'd love to connect. It doesn't have to be this way. We can make small actions every day to support ourselves. Sharing this episode with all of my love.

Do you find fear holding you back? Have you considered that fear and faith are the same? We can't see them, but we know they're there. What if you chose faith over fear? What if you had faith in the process?
I did the Gut Health Protocol program a year ago and it was transformational. I didn't realize how much better I could feel with just a few tweaks to my nutrition. The challenge was for 30 days but what I learned will stay with me for a lifetime. Do you have heartburn, bloating, gas, poor sleep or are you lacking energy? Have you considered it might be caused by issues in your gut? What about inflammation? I had no idea how inflammation was impacting me. If you can relate to what I share, please reach out. I'd love to share more.

Some musings about the weather followed by thoughts conducting a relationship audit. Have you ever considered how much you are influenced by those you spend the most time with? It might be worth thinking about this and seeing if your relationships might be negatively impacting you.
Had an a-ha moment and I wanted to share. I've been so much better at causing pain than processing it and feeling it. Ive caused pain for myself and for those closest to me. I am breaking up with that pattern. It no longer serves me.

I've been sick the past few days but I'm this episode I share what's different this time. I haven't been sick in more than 14 months. I thought I had developed super human immunity. That's not the case but I am bouncing back much faster than I normally would. In this episode I share why I think that might be. I chat about gut health and why I now follow a nutrition program with my gut in mind.
Inner Critics, we all have them. Have you named your inner critic? If not, it's great if you can name it. It's suggested to name it after a fictional character. I met a woman while away who shared that the only voice she hears is her inner critic. She hadn't considered that there were other options. In this episode we explore commitments, accountability, community and inner critics.
Grief and loss impact us in unexpected ways. Join me as I reflect on my own experiences with loss and how it impacted me.
Today I discuss why relationships are important even as adults. We often think we don't need to invest any more time in our adult relationships but that's not the case.
I'm having one of those weeks. You know the type I'm talking about. Sometimes thing happen and the negativity begins to pile up. I wanted to spend some time chatting about what I do to refocus and rebound and how I need to intentionally recommit. I hope this episode is relatable. We all go through this tough patches. How we respond is key. Thanks for listening!

How are you doing with building community? Do you have individuals around you that are positively impacting you? Are they lifting you up? Is this even something you have considered lately? Perhaps it's time to do a relationship check-up. Reflect on your community. Do you need to spend some time building relationships with people who are more positive and are functioning at a high vibration level? I know this was something I needed and didn't even know I needed. I was finding myself surrounded by too much negativity and it was impacting my mental health. I also realized that when I opened myself up and let people know I was working on my fitness and nutrition, it helped me achieve my goals and it helped me attract people with similar goals. It's hard to make friends as an adult but I highly recommend it! We need to build communities intentionally and not leave it up to chance. If you're feeling stuck and like you are in a rut, it might be time to reflect on who is around you. This episode shares what I've learned about building community and why it's so important.
My physical transformation has been truly massive (I've lost 70 lbs and more than 53" total body inches) but what you can't see from my photos, is my mindset shift. When we go inward and focus on our mindset, we begin to fully grasp our potential. It takes a lot of personal reflection, energy, personal development and a willingness to go there BUT it's totally worth it.

In this episode I talk about how I spent years (decades) cut off from my body and using disassociation as a coping strategy. I explore what has changed for me in the past 14 - 18 months and how I no longer wish to feel disconnected from myself. This episode talks about childhood sexual abuse and gender based violence. Please only listen if you're able. This is a difficult topic and if you need support, please contact your local CMHA or Crisis Line. Your well-being always comes first. ❤️
Our energy is one of our most precious resources. Just like our time, our energy can be shared. Have you reflected on how you protect your energy and how you ensure you have mechanisms in place to not only preserve your energy but build it up? How is your daily routine serving you and helping to protect your energy? If it is a precious resource, have you ever considered that you can choose to protect it? Maybe this means limiting your exposure to social media or not looking at the news headlines first thing in your day. Each of us know deep down what serves us and what is sucking energy away from us. Start paying attention to those cues. Journal about them and begin to make small changes that will hopefully end up not only protecting your energy but will provide nourishment for your energy and your soul. You'll learn about how making small changes in my morning routine has created huge dividends in my day to day life. I want this for you and for others. Let's create a ripple of positivity. As they say, "heal yourself, heal the world."

It's FEBRUARY and I want to talk about the importance of self-love. I thought I loved myself but I was engaging in a lot of self-sabatoging behaviours without even realizing it. It's a journey folks! It's ok to not have it all figured out. No matter what your age, we can all make changes that improve our overall well-being. Our winter wellness hub is launching our self-love challenge Feb 6th. Join us to learn more about self-love, self-care and self-compassion.
Are you feeling like you are dreading everyday? Are you tired and exhausted from all of your responsibilities? Adulting is hard! In this episode I share what I've learned about how to rekindle joy in your life.
Learn about why I started on this journey of well-being. I share where I was at, how I was experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue. I was angry, resentful and lacking energy. It wasn't a fun place to be. I'll share how I've been turning things around.
Life changes when you get intentional. You begin to assess who choose to spend time with, you set new habits, you make different food choices. If you are stuck and feeling like you're in a downward spiral, give this a listen. Choose your community. Choose your habits. Set your intentions.
Welcome to Episode 1 of "Let's get Intentional." I am excited to be starting this journey into podcasting. I am a 49 year old woman living in Ontario, Canada. I have been on a midlife awakening journey for the past year. I turn 50 in June and I thought a podcast would be a great way for me to express some of what I'm learning with listeners. This episode talks a bit about my journey so far and what I've learned along the way. I hope that through my sharing, I may inspire others to embark on a path of growth and personal development. Be curious, lean into the discomfort and most of all, practice radical self compassion.
