Live Your Life Like Laura: A Tribute to My Beautiful Friend Taken Too Soon

June 06, 2023 03:00 - 31 minutes - 25.2 MB

My friend Laura Beisser and I recorded this episode back in early 2020 to encourage people to find your community at the gym. Just as I was getting ready to release the episode, the pandemic hit, and people were advised not to go to the gym, so we decided to hold off on the release. In the summer of 2021, I was getting ready to ask Laura if it would be a good time to release the episode, as more people were getting back in the gym. Before I got the chance to ask, Laura shared the devastatin...

Dear Heidi From 2010

February 02, 2022 19:00 - 5 minutes - 4.22 MB

After reading a Facebook memory from 2010 and reading Brené Brown's book, Atlas of the Heart, it got me thinking about how to handle disappointment. Brené Brown says, “There are too many people in the world today who decide to live disappointed rather than risk feeling disappointment.” While dating may continue to result in painful emotional experiences, I think it is worth the risk.

What Are You Learning?

September 23, 2021 10:35 - 6 minutes - 5.24 MB

It’s been a long time since I have been in school, but I still feel that back to school vibe when fall arrives. I start to think about what I want to learn or accomplish next. This year, I was caught off guard by what I learned and how I felt about it.  I traveled to Wisconsin for my parents’ 50th anniversary the first week of September and stayed at my sister’s house for a week. I wasn’t sure what we would do during that week, other than buying wine and cheese curds for the party and enjo...

Do You Have the Twisties?

August 01, 2021 06:25 - 6 minutes - 4.89 MB

Transcripts: We all stood in awe as Simone Biles withdrew from the Olympics. While some thought she should toughen up and stay in it for the team, most of us applauded the strength it took for her to stand up for her mental and physical health. Many of us heard the term the “twisties” for the first time, as the media attempted to explain what was happening to Simone. Gymnasts use this term to describe a mental block that causes them to lose spatial awareness and lose control of their body....

As a planner, it is difficult for me to wander without expectations. On a recent trip to Scandinavia, I found some amazing moments when I let my guard down and wandered.

Being vs. Doing

June 14, 2019 12:24 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MB

The biggest lesson I learned this week was about the value of being vs. doing. It is easy to get caught up in a world of doing and feeling burnt out. Consider who you want to be when looking at goals you want to achieve, rather than just what you need to do. One way to find a state of being is to explore your values and live them throughout your goal process. Another method of journaling is to record yourself. You can tell a story or talk about your day. You don't need a fancy microphone...
