Stories, Inspirations and Moving Forward

One of the main lessons I have learned that just because plans don't always come to fruition as planned, they still can end up nicely.  My husband says just don't get too attached to what you plan and I quite agree.

I stayed in bed longer than I planned and missed my scheduled interview.  Thankfully my sweet co-host Nyree was able to join me to chat about our planned topic even though our guest was not able to join us.  Hopefully she will be able to guest another time.

On this episode we refer to a youtuber that I have followed for a while.  Her name is Jordan Page and the video we refer to can be found here.

Thanks for following us!!

Join us next Saturday.  Our planned guest talks about designing a coaching program.  But... I am not making any promises.  If he can't make it, we will talk amongst ourselves again!

And... I am planning on continuing to put out a daily reading of the rough draft of my upcoming book The Making of Mia! 

Nyree has her own podcast, which is called Stolen Our Hearts and can be found anywhere, but here is the direct link. Stolen Our Hearts (castos.com)

"The show for ferret lovers, new ferret parents and people who love all sorts of exotic pets and are interested in knowing more about pets and themselves."

Of course we talked about ferrets, but we also chatted about anxiety, her university experience, various environments that she has worked within in her career with children.

Today's show is entitled "Slowly Building Up" because Nyree described her success as allowing herself to grow little by little.  She shared her experience of the results of being under immense pressure to make instant growth before given the chance to even fully understand.  This is really important in a time of constant change. 

If you would like to guest on the podcast, please follow this link and you will be able to schedule a time!

This show is now a learning show primarily so I would like for you to be able to teach the listeners something.

My guest today was the lovely Elena Lubenets.  We met way back in February and I knew I wanted to have her on my show, but was certainly lacking the confidence.  If you would like to schedule time with Elena, she has Calendly (the scheduling software I use) and she would love to chat about how she can serve you.

So what is it that Elena does? Well.... she is in what I think of as one of the most intimidating industries to me.  Her cause is educating and bringing women into the financial sector.  She is a life insurance broker which means she is not tied to one company, she is able to shop around for whichever products and plans best serve her clients.

September is life insurance awareness month and that is why she especially encourages you to reach out to her. Elena explained to me that life insurance is a very competitive industry and there are always more products at different rates becoming available and that is why it is important to regularly look at your plan.

A top question I had in my mind as I planned our interview was how to engage people in talking about something so hard (which is what I want to do in my coaching business SarahAyersCoaching.com) and enabling them to take action on something of such great importance.  I also asked what the most common misconception there is in life insurance.  

Without a moment's pause she said it is the idea that getting life insurance is hard and that they will not qualify due to weight, smoking, drug usage, terminal illness and so on.  With great confidence Elena told me that she can get high-quality life insurance for anyone and makes herself very available to serve.

There are two last questions I try to remember in each interview and that is a piece of life advice and their favorite song.

Today's advice: "Eat orange on Thursdays for joy."

Elena's favorite song: Happy!

"Thank-you" to Elena for your time! I absolutely love your energy and your kind spirit!!
