Mind Your Midlife: Confidence and Success, One Thought at a Time, with Cheryl Fischer
Did you wake up one morning and realize that you’ve hit midlife? Your forties (or fifties!) are here. You thought by now you’d have six figures in your retirement fund, have the confidence to speak up at work and in your relationships, and would have learned to love your body by now. You’ve read and listened to all the self help and taken the experts’ advice, whether it’s thinking positively, joining the 5am club, or posting notes to yourself around the house. With every next attempt, though, you’re left with even more frustration - or wanting to numb the pain with wine and Netflix. But what if personal development could actually work? Have you ever considered that it’s not what you do, but it’s how you think and the emotions you feel that create real change? What if you could wake up each morning looking forward to the day instead of hitting snooze four times? What if you could feel confident and beautiful in your body instead of comparing yourself to others? What if you could spend each day doing work that matters and brings you success instead of trudging through and wishing for the weekend? As an award-winning Life Coach, teacher, and trainer, Cheryl Fischer has helped hundreds of women in midlife find success and confidence. This transformation does not have to be about adding more tasks and habits to your day; change comes from inside and you can start now. Join us each week as Cheryl, her guests, and her clients share with you how to feel confident in your body, your decisions, and your goals - and create a midlife that you love.

A gut feeling... a hunch... a thought that comes out of nowhere... a sense that something is just off... We've all noticed our intuition warning us about simple things or major things.
It sounds like a good idea to listen to your instincts or trust your gut, but how can we learn to do this better? How can we get better at making sure our intuition catches our attention, and how can we tell whether it truly is intuition or it's just the fear talking in our brains?
We're talking about practical tips and fun exercises to learn how to listen to your inner voice, help that inner voice (your subconscious mind) speak more loudly, and know whether it's actually intuition talking. This is a fascinating topic and it will make a difference in your decision making, and your life.

I'm fairly sure none of us had a laughter class in school, and what a shame because there are laughter benefits that affect our mood, hormones, health, and relationships in a powerful way.
Sara Alepin and Kristina Kury from the Laughing with Gingers podcast join me today to talk (and giggle) about all things laughter!
We're spending some time on the power of laughter, being your authentic self, laughing for emotional well-being, and making sure to be the leading character in your own life.
Did you know that laughter is good for stress reduction and gives us an immune system boost? Or that gut deep laughter may actually help us release fat?!
Listen in! And if you aren't laughing at the end of this episode, I'll be surprised. ;)

OMG, we really do need to sleep! When sleep becomes difficult and when we deal with sleep deprivation and sleep problems, we know we need to do something differently.
What about when we are trying to live in a healthier way? Sleep affects our immune system and our hormone levels, and there is a direct link between sleep and mental health.
This week I'm joined by Cherie Tripp, a Certified Health Coach and Licensed Brain Trainer, and we're talking through sleep and well-being. Cherie explains what the body and brain are doing while we sleep (hint - important things!), and how much sleep is typically ideal.
She provides us with some bedtime routines and some tips on what to do when you can't fall asleep or wake up during the night. Healthy sleep habits are a major piece of a healthy lifestyle. And once you hear our chat about jet-lag and trying to sleep on airplanes, let me know your solutions too!
Find and connect with Cherie by following her blog at www.cherietripp.com. She has a recent article on foods to fight insomnia that you will want to see. You can follow Cherie on Instagram @cherietripp, Facebook at Cherie Tripp, Health Coach, and Linked In at Cherie Tripp, CPA.

Our world is rife with political rhetoric and arguments over both the facts of a situation and the solutions. If we know that minimizing stress is a significant part of living healthy, how do we manage our stress while being informed politically? How do we keep our blood pressures low and avoid sticking our heads in the sand about major issues in the world?
My guest today is Laura Vaught, who leads the Federal Affairs office for a major energy company and has had many years of experience on Capitol Hill as well. I'm asking Laura how we can be informed, take an interest... and not drive ourselves nuts.
We talk about:
the idea of taking breaks from all the news sometimes,
having a group to act as a sounding board,
starting with issues at the local level, and
even just changing the subject when things get tense.
This episode does not take sides on any political issue (we're a safe space!), and does provide you with some ideas for how to navigate the next year or more during turbulent political times.
I would love to continue this discussion with you. Please find me on Instagram, Linked In, or Facebook and let me know what you think!

Faith Hoskins joins me this week for an episode that you may want to listen to a few times. We're talking about self-talk... that voice in our heads that is going all day long. Our brains have a bias towards negativity, so Faith walks us through ways that we can start to shift that negativity and allow ourselves to consider a positive outcome.
Why is this so powerful? Our thoughts impact our emotions which impact how we show up in the world. Some of the tips and advice in this episode will help you show up a little more powerfully - and definitely more kindly towards yourself.
Find Faith at furtherup.org and @furtherupcoaching on Instagram.
Her book recommendation is on the podcast recommended list here and you can find all the podcast resources here.

You want a new job or a promotion or a leadership slot or a new business... so what do you do? How do you make it happen?
Let's talk about three steps: break down the skills, find people to look at for evidence, and grow your belief and self-worth. I share lots of tips in this episode to help you navigate whether a challenge is a healthy challenge or whether it's too far out of reach.

"All disease begins in the gut, which also means all health begins in the gut..."

She shares exactly what to eat (did your mom tell you to eat your veggies?) to bring your gut back into a healthier state - and we talk about how to recognize when your gut may not be so healthy.
You've heard of gut health and microbiome and probiotics, so let's find out exactly what all those terms mean!

If you are a dog lover, a parent, a teacher or all of the above, this episode is for you. If mindset and nature and fun are empowering and important, then bringing them into our classrooms while kids are still young seems even more important. Let's start teaching with fun early!
Dr. Barbara Vokatis joins me this week to share how she works with her therapy dog in classrooms with kids of all ages. As a former teacher myself, I loved our discussion and I loved the idea that a few adults who want to try something new and bring nature into the classroom can make a huge difference.
This episode is my love letter to teachers; you are out there making a difference every day and we see you.
If you'd love to use your dog as a therapy dog, bring this idea into your school, or simply want to know more, make sure to reach out to Barb!

This week is all about finding ways to help girls and women to act with empowered kindness. What are the ways we can do that and demonstrate that? I'll share lessons I learned from amazing women mentors in my career, and character traits that we absolutely can learn and maximize within ourselves and our girls.
