Parenting In a Pandemic - The Littles

Parenting In a Pandemic - The Littles

Yes, this is an interesting topic to tackle and we're going to be totally honest about how we're doing.  Rita is with us again and will take the lead since she's the only one currently home schooling middle school and elementary aged kids.  How she doing?  Tune in for the good, the bad and the absolutely hilarious!

Oct 21, 202026:07
HEY! HOW YOU DOIN'?

HEY! HOW YOU DOIN'?

Yes, we are your biggest ch'eerleaders but today we just want to know how you're doing.  We are good somedays and struggling on other days.  But we continue to find ways to pivot especially as we approach the holidays.  Lets acknowledge the suck and talk about ways to make things better.

YAY ME! - THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF VALIDATION

YAY ME! - THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF VALIDATION

Hi Friends!

We've missed you and are so glad to be back with a message about self validation.  On this journey we want to be able to celebrate, encourage, validate and put ourselves on the back.  We also start with a great tribute to the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  What a powerhouse.  We are better for having had her in our space.  Thank you RGB!

Remember Rita from the Time for Some Action Episode?  Well she and her washed face are joining us as a guest host!  Welcome Rita!!

So Whatcha Want?

So Whatcha Want?

This might be one the hardest questions you can ask yourself. This week we discuss wants, feelings, relationships and of course, the Spice Girls! Let's chat friends. We've missed you!

LET GO OF THE PAST

LET GO OF THE PAST

One of the very best things anyone can do for their future is let go of their past.  Join us as we share our experiences and how letting go of the past has been extremely liberating!  Failure to do so can keep you stuck behind memories that no longer deserve your attention.  Make a list of the things you need to let go of, crank up the soundtrack from Frozen and let Elsa guide you the rest of the way!

Walkin' on Funshine Follow Up

Walkin' on Funshine Follow Up

If you've never taken one of our challenges, I hope you do this one.  Playing hard is as important as working hard.  Do both and you strike a balance that is golden!  Taking time to chill is imperative in goal setting.  You won't burn out if you get the levels just right.  See you next week for another fun-filled challenge.  Peace!

Aug 10, 202011:57
WE'RE WALKING ON FUN-SHINE

WE'RE WALKING ON FUN-SHINE

We can't wait to hear!

Clutter Cutter

Clutter Cutter

Time to cut the clutter you guys! There're so many things that are roadblocks when you are working hard to get your goals off the ground and clutter is one of them. It's almost impossible to keep your projects straight when you have piles of paper to organize or a bunch of emails in your box. How many times have you forgotten about something important because it wasn't on your calendar? Well this week, we're putting on our clutter-busting gloves and going for a knock out! Put on a Rocky theme song and let's get in the ring to take down your disorganized work space.

Time For Some Action Follow Up

Time For Some Action Follow Up

We all had a great week and hope you did, too. Here's what we learned. You simply can't make big changes in your life without assessing where you're wasting your time. Social media, Netflix and chill way too much, or whatever your time wasters are have to be identified. Once you do that you will be so surprised at the time you recover to put towards those important goals. I hope you found more time in your day to get those things that have been on the back burner done. If you didn't what are you waiting for?
Jul 26, 202017:27
Time For Some Action!

Time For Some Action!

Ready for a week of action and no excuses? Well this is it! Your challenge is to do one thing successfully this week. Plan it and be aware of your time waster. Time for some action! Good luck!

FREE FROM FEAR FOLLOW UP

FREE FROM FEAR FOLLOW UP

Say the title fast as many times as it takes to start taking those chances you've been avoiding.  The time isn't later, or one day.  The time is now ya'll.  

This week we all had some great fear busting moments.  Someone even bought a MOTEL!  Yeah, we are serious fear.  You'd better watch your back!

Jul 20, 202028:40
PLEASE DON'T FEED THE FEARS

PLEASE DON'T FEED THE FEARS

Feeding your fears is as bad as feeding bears.  Okay well, they both come with challenges, but fear can hold you back from so many amazing experiences.  What is holding you back?  Fear of failure, of disappointment, of what others might say?  We've all been there.  This week our challenge is to tackle something that makes you scared.  Just one thing. We've got your back, Friends!

SUCCAPPINESS FOLLOW UP

SUCCAPPINESS FOLLOW UP

Join us as we share the things on our Happy List.  We even rediscovered old passions.  This was a great journey that reminded us that happiness is. extremely attainable if you allow yourself to be on the lookout for those things (big and small) that bring you joy.

SUCCAPPINESS (WHEN SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS COLLIDE)

SUCCAPPINESS (WHEN SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS COLLIDE)

LOOK AT JWF COINING NEW WORDS! Yes, It's possible to combine happiness and success. This week, we challenge you to make a list of things you love to do and find ways to incorporate them into your personal life, and maybe even your professional life! Disclaimer: Do not just quit your job. (I felt we had to say that again). But if you really look at your gifts, you might just surprise yourself.

ME, MYSELF AND I FOLLOW UP

ME, MYSELF AND I FOLLOW UP

Follow up with Dawn, Cindy and Jamie to see how the week of self care went.  There were break throughs, professional wins and challengus interruptus (I think that's Latin for room for improvement).

The important thing is that self care is not part of our daily routines and we're all for it!  How about you?


Jul 07, 202017:02
JUST ME, MYSELF AND I

JUST ME, MYSELF AND I

If you want to have great self care clap your hands, (clap clap!). Yes you should have sang that to the tune Happy and You Know It and yes, you should have both hands up!  This will be a week dedicated to mind, body and soul!  I found a wonderful video on YouTube that I'd like you to view (it's only 5 mins, no excuses).  It will put you on a journey to understand why great self care is a must in order to pursue any other goal.

Here it is and here we go!

CONNECTION FOLLOW UP FRIDAY

CONNECTION FOLLOW UP FRIDAY

Were we all successful in our connections? I'm going to say yes, because we all did something that took us out of our comfort zones. Well, sure Dawn was picking fights in a bagel shop (not really, she was hugging people - how much more of a connection can you get?) but it was still a lesson learned for all.
Make these challenges your own and before long you'll see that you're stronger than you think you are.

Winning By Celebrating your Itsy Bitsy, Teeny, Weeny Victories!

Keeping motivated by celebrating your small wins is one of the best ways to keep it moving.  Every little victory leads you to that major win!

Friday Follow Up - Into the Uh Nooooooooo

How we do saying no?  Well, unexpected challenges came up that had us really fighting to stay on course.  Darn Entenmann's Donut sale!  But we definitely had some wins as well.  We have to celebrate small victories, right?  Plus all these changes are going to make people a little uncomfortable.  But it's all good.  Keep moving'!

INTO THE UH-N00000000

No, we aren't discussing any recent movie song that parent's have heard for months in quarantine.  Today's topic is the awesome power of the word no.  Here's how this two letter word can leave lots of time for the things you believe you don't have time for.  Join us as we take the challenge to say no this week.

Mind Your Thoughts...Avoiding Negative Self Talk

This week we are trying meditation as a tool to destress and block negative self talk. It's been said that words have power...so do thoughts. And the ones we think all day  have more power than we realize.  On your goal busting journey it's important to find ways to avoid derailing your own success.  Join us in our meditation challenge.

***Forgive the wonky audio.  I put my audio editing skills to the test and well, the results were less than stellar.  I'll fix that on Friday!  Thanks everyone!***

Namaste.
