Ep. 86: How Absolutely Anyone Can Inspire the Next Generation

Get ready for some serious inspiration in this episode! Cheryl chats with Tatiana LaBello, a motivational speaker, youth mentor, and self-described "recovering perfectionist," about self-esteem, dreaming big, and finding your inner superhero.   
Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s conversation:
Why waiting for perfection is *so last season*—just get started, even if it’s messy.
Tatiana’s motto: **Dream it, Believe it, Do it**
How her work with kids and teens helps them discover their unique superpowers, build confidence, and dream without limits—complete with dream boards and mic-drop moments. 🎤  
Cheryl and Tatiana also dive into topics like:  
Overcoming perfectionism and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success.
How parents (and adults in general!) can model self-care and pursue their own dreams to inspire the younger generation.  
The magic of saying “no” to things that don’t serve you and prioritizing what lights you up inside.

Ep. 85: Three Tips for Making Life Changing Decisions

You've hit midlife and you are pondering some changes... you're making decisions (or you want to be able to make some decisions!).
It's easy to get stuck in indecision and wonder whether that gut feeling you had actually makes sense to try, or whether it's more responsible to talk yourself out of it.
David K. Richards, micro school founder and life coach, joins me today to share with us his principles for navigating these decision-making challenges.
You'll hear us talk about:
30 days of listening to every gut instinct,
Post-it notes for following intuition,
The power of meditation and movement (it's simple, really) to tap into your creative ideas.
Overall, we're talking about trusting yourself.

Ep. 84: What You Didn't Know About Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is sneaky.  If you're a woman with a job, a household, kids, activities, or any combination of the above, raise your hand if you don't ever get tired...  I'll wait...
We all get tired.
Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, ND, joins me today to help us figure out whether that tiredness is simply a signal to us that we need to treat ourselves better or whether it's CFS/ME, which is a complicated syndrome that is sometime difficult to understand.
Interestingly, we talk a little bit about long COVID in this episode as well, and the symptoms are very similar.
This episode's goal is to partner with you in your self care.  Let's see if it helps you to decide what you need, how to help yourself feel more energized, and where to find help if you need it.

Ep. 83: The Surprising Way Horses Can Help You Strengthen Your Relationship

Relationships are all about trust - whether we're talking about work relationships, family relationships, parent/child relationships, or partner relationships.
Not only does that mean that trusting each other is important, it also means that self-trust is key.  We need to be able to recognize our emotions, be present in the moment, and be truthful about what we are thinking and feeling.
How can we improve? Courtney Clifford, psychotherapist, joins me this week to share with us the power of equine assisted therapy.
Horses have such a sense of emotion and energy, and they absolutely know when we are saying one thing and doing another or when we aren't trusting ourselves to lead.
Courtney works with professional teams, couples, families, people with PTSD, and many others in her equine therapy practice.

Giving Anonymously - Money in a Diaper Box (OMG Take Five)

It's a trend lately to slide money or a gift card anonymously into a diaper box or some other product in a store.  Why? Let's talk about it.
Your relationship with money if often about difficultly or scarcity.  That tends to come from our money stories and experiences we have in childhood.
One way to start healing that relationship is the give money away - and do it anonymously.  It's not about being thanked, it's about doing something good for someone else and at the same time creating a fantastic emotional experience for yourself.
I'm giving you a few ideas in this episode! Tell me what else you come up with and how your experiences have gone when you tried this: www.bit.ly/omgspeaktome.  
Here are the money episodes I referred to:
Ep. 29: How to Use Your Finances to Create the Life You Want
Ep. 30: How to Redefine Your Relationship with Money and Wealth
Ep. 71: Money Thoughts: Healing Our Judgments Around Money
Ep. 72: Money Thoughts: What is your Money Personality?
Let's dive into this popular trend and make someone's day (and yours)! 

Ep. 82: Escaping the "Shoulds" and Redesigning Your Life

This episode is a life-changer.  Amy Kemp joins Cheryl today to talk about the "should" energy we often use on ourselves.  I have to... I need to... I should... These are obligation statements coming from our subconscious beliefs about what life should look like.  How can we switch to, "I get to...," or "I want to..."?  Amy shares a visual and a verbal method to interrupt our thought habits.
If we're not going to "should on ourselves" then how can we make decisions in life? Try Amy's triangle of key aspects of life: quality of life, paying you what you're worth, and passion and purpose.  She walks us through exactly how to use these to make decisions that align with your boundaries around your goals and ambition.
And maybe my favorite part, we're expanding this discussion into thoughts and energy around money.  Amy is encouraging us to allow money to flow in and out, because when we do that, the flow can grow.  Cleaning up our obligation energy and thoughts around money is a powerful change.

The Power of Affirmations with "But" (OMG Take Five)

Affirmations are one of my favorite tools for transforming your mindset and belief about various aspects of your life.  But, if your brain immediately argues with you as soon as you affirm something about great success or exciting things happening, you are losing the benefit of the affirmation.
What to do? Include a "but" in the middle!
Today I'm sharing a method for creating affirmations that you actually CAN believe, get excited about, and use over and over again to start moving toward to your goals.
Make sure to listen to the full affirmation episode:

Ep. 81: How to Ask Powerful Questions that Help You Change Your Perspective and Change Your Life

Perspective is powerful.  We all look at the world through a lens of our own experiences and our own core beliefs - about how the world works, our abilities, what's possible, etc.
So, how can we change that perspective if we see that we're holding ourselves back or if we'd like to grow and change?
We can use powerful questions.
Luann Horobin, Executive & Leadership Coach, joins me today to explain what exactly powerful questions are - and why they can help us.
If you think about it, you may fall into the same trap I do sometimes in which I'm asking myself, "Why can't I do that?" or "Why doesn't this ever work?" If our brains set out to find the answers to the questions we ask (they do), then asking questions like those is just going to bring us answers about why we CAN'T.  
Listen in to find out how to ask questions that help us figure out why and how we CAN.

Your Brain, Creativity, and How to Remember Your Great Ideas (OMG Take Five)

Do you get creative ideas or solve a tough problem while doing something else, like walking, showering, driving, doing the dishes, etc.? I definitely do.
Today I'm sharing with you WHY that happens (hint: your subconscious brain is occupied), and HOW to actually remember that great idea that can flit away quickly.
I like to text myself! :)
We can also throw it all the way back to episode 2 and the benefits of walking, because the two things are very much linked.

Ep. 80: Personal Branding and Creating Your Personal Style

When you get dressed in the morning, do you think about how you are presenting yourself throughout the day? Are you happy with what you see?
Cyndy Porter of Success Thru Style joins me today to help us figure out what a personal brand it and how to create that with style choices.  
You'll hear us talk about choosing five adjectives to describe how you'd like to come across to the world - and then how to put that in practice with your clothing and accessories choices.  I found this to be such a fun discussion!
We're building on what Amanda and I talked about in episode 12, so grab that link to listen again: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-zsuc5-1451259
