Strong Willed

Autum talks about opening good ol' social media to be slapped in the face with negativity and what to do when someone else couldn't just keep scrolling!

Autum has a conversation with her good friend, Kelly Posner, about finding your own happiness through the struggle, creating it, and not chasing it. Kelly and Autum met years ago but strengthened a friendship over open conversation about how life can happen to you and what you get to do with it!

Are you always trying to follow others' rules around them in order to "not wake the bear?" Or to make sure they are "pleased" with you? Free yourself. And them. Here's my take on this aspect of creating that internal happiness so many spend too much time chasing externally,

Is the critic really the highest level thinker in the room? What are we getting out of life in the various states of mindset? Here to discuss thinking "outside of the box" is Autum's partner in work/business, teacher, wife, and just an inspiring human Katie Newgard.

Welcome to Season TWO! We will talk about where I've been, how imperfect growth is, and what we can do to come out the other side! I want to focus on thinking outside the box for our happiest life this season! OMGGGGG.... it's good to be back!!

Autum is just quickly talking about the importance of owning your self care and resting when you need to. Also a recap of some of the most popular episodes.

Do you have a goal but feel like life gets in the way?  Maybe you've started it 1,000 times and have had to stop. Maybe you feel like there are people in your life who are making it really difficult for you?  This episode is for you!  And, Autum talks about how to submit your questions for her future Q+A show.

Autum talks about how she parents can be inclined to teach their daughters to be "nice" or polite over following their truth because we don't want them to experience hurt.  But, by teaching them how to assert themselves (which is different from being aggressive), to know who they are, and to be kind..... they can all coexist to create less hurt later.

Autum talks about taking control of your happiness and stopping the blame game that leads to us creating more unhappiness within ourselves.

Autum is talking today about how trying to stop everything and setting goals can hurt you.  Instead she will discuss the focus on habit creation.  Focus on what you want to grow.  And somehow she does go on a little tangent about nutrition and food.

Happy October!  Autum is talking about the Autumn Season, her birthday, and what it really means to her when this day comes around.  We hope you listen adn decide to join in on celebrating Autum's birthday with her!

Autum's going to talk to you about some of her favorite books for shifting mindset, growing, learning, and creating a healthier headspace.  Not someone who loves personal development or really "gets" it?  She will discuss that also!

The Obstacle is the Way.  Autum is quickly sharing what's on her heart as she wants to encourage others to reframe their excuses.  Someone out there is making their dreams come true because their reason they must is the excuse someone else is using for why they cannot.  Which side of the fence are you on with this?  Is it the side you want to be on?  What can you do about it?

Autum is going to talk her take on money.  Attracting, having, giving, flowing.  The way she was raised (("Money is the root of all evil")) and the way she has grown to think of money.  She is so excited to share this in hopes it empowers more women.  But, first she had to mention the full moon and her take on that... and the crazy dreams that came with it. 

Autum talks about how and why she created 100 Walks and invites you to join her in doing it.  She also shared a mindset hack that can help you find answers to problems in your life.

100 Walks template can be found on her Instagram page in the Highlights @autumchetock

Autum talks about how she stays motivated.  One of the main pieces of advice people seek from her.  Then she goes into a decision she's made that makes some people mad-- but she won't back down from.  She will continue to encourage others to do it-- and to reframe their mind going into conversations that turn this way.

Autum welcomes Travis back as a guest while she talks about owning who you are, relabeling the things people might point out to you as your imperfections, and being so you others incorrect opinions about you don't matter.  Travis brings in a voice of reason (as he always does) that it can be beneficial to consider others while still being so you.... Coexist with love, friends.

Autum will recap on some of the conversations she had with some of you about last week's episode on balancing being a mom and being YOU and the double standards moms vs dads have.  

Then she will go into the importance of protecting your energy and why/how vibing high is a real thing! What can you do to take control of how you feel and what you attract in life.

Autum has shared before she had a big wake up call when she became a mom and didn't feel like being a suburbia mom the way she though suburbia moms were supposed to be was for her. Today she'll talk about family adventures, time with her kids, being present, and being away.  She'll talk the balance of being Autum who is a mom vs being MOM. The gifts of being imperfect and being so YOU can enrich your kids' lives.  

Autum is just going for it!  She has to tell the crazy fire alarm story that just won't quit.  It's been her sign to keep sharing the things on her heart that she has kept close.  So, after you hear about that she'll dive into relating with being an empath, the first time she heard about it, some signs, and what she does to do to protect her energy.

Autum introduced her email and hopes you use it to connect!  strongwilled.autum@gmail.com

Then she talks to Travis, her husband.  The time flew by because ti turns out although people think Travis is quiet; he likes to talk, too!

They discuss men dealing with strong women, the evolving mindset by building relationships-- with people who are authentically themselves AND people different than us, how the marriage works with two people living their passions, raising strong children, and so much more!

Should Travis come back?  Let us know!

I had an amazing Dad who passed away in 2009.  Never in a million years did I thing this test I took "for something to do" would uncover such a shock!

Happiness isn't what you need to get to.  It's inside you.  It's a daily practice. It's a mindset and it's completely within our control.  I'll share some thoughts and takeaways I have on this from my own journey through this realization and practice.

Welcome to my first episode!  I was always the strong willed child and that was nothing to brag about; I thought.  But, what once upon a time left me ashamed  has now served me as I've opened up and accepted who I am.  I will talk about breaking free to be me, how ridiculously long this has been on my mind and heart and why I want to help others not spent so much time trying to fit into a mold that does not serve them. From a serial people pleaser to learning how to make myself happy instead... join me for the adventure!
