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.

We’re diving into a topic today that no one really wants to think about but absolutely everyone needs to: estate planning. This episode is packed with must-know info that could make your life (and your loved ones’ lives) so much easier.
I’m joined by the amazing Andrea Bryk from Bryk Law, who’s here to break it all down in plain English and with a whole lot of compassion. We’re talking about:
📝 Why you need a will – Spoiler: No, you’re not too young or too single for this!
📑 The power of a power of attorney – What it is, why it’s essential, and how it could save a TON of headaches.
🚨 Emergency plans – Because life happens, and being prepared is a gift to everyone around you.
🏡 Revocable trusts – What they are and why they might just be the superhero of estate planning.
Andrea is sharing real-life stories, busting myths, and giving us all the motivation we need to take that first (or next) step in getting our affairs in order. You’ll walk away feeling informed, empowered, and maybe even inspired to check “estate planning” off your to-do list.

You've hit midlife and you are pondering some changes... you're making decisions (or you want to be able to make some decisions!).
It's easy to get stuck in indecision and wonder whether that gut feeling you had actually makes sense to try, or whether it's more responsible to talk yourself out of it.
David K. Richards, micro school founder and life coach, joins me today to share with us his principles for navigating these decision-making challenges.
You'll hear us talk about:
30 days of listening to every gut instinct,
Post-it notes for following intuition,
The power of meditation and movement (it's simple, really) to tap into your creative ideas.
Overall, we're talking about trusting yourself.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is sneaky.  If you're a woman with a job, a household, kids, activities, or any combination of the above, raise your hand if you don't ever get tired...  I'll wait...
We all get tired.
Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, ND, joins me today to help us figure out whether that tiredness is simply a signal to us that we need to treat ourselves better or whether it's CFS/ME, which is a complicated syndrome that is sometime difficult to understand.
Interestingly, we talk a little bit about long COVID in this episode as well, and the symptoms are very similar.
This episode's goal is to partner with you in your self care.  Let's see if it helps you to decide what you need, how to help yourself feel more energized, and where to find help if you need it.

Relationships are all about trust - whether we're talking about work relationships, family relationships, parent/child relationships, or partner relationships.
Not only does that mean that trusting each other is important, it also means that self-trust is key.  We need to be able to recognize our emotions, be present in the moment, and be truthful about what we are thinking and feeling.
How can we improve? Courtney Clifford, psychotherapist, joins me this week to share with us the power of equine assisted therapy.
Horses have such a sense of emotion and energy, and they absolutely know when we are saying one thing and doing another or when we aren't trusting ourselves to lead.
Courtney works with professional teams, couples, families, people with PTSD, and many others in her equine therapy practice.

It's a trend lately to slide money or a gift card anonymously into a diaper box or some other product in a store.  Why? Let's talk about it.
Your relationship with money if often about difficultly or scarcity.  That tends to come from our money stories and experiences we have in childhood.
One way to start healing that relationship is the give money away - and do it anonymously.  It's not about being thanked, it's about doing something good for someone else and at the same time creating a fantastic emotional experience for yourself.
I'm giving you a few ideas in this episode! Tell me what else you come up with and how your experiences have gone when you tried this: www.bit.ly/omgspeaktome.  
Here are the money episodes I referred to:
Ep. 29: How to Use Your Finances to Create the Life You Want
Ep. 30: How to Redefine Your Relationship with Money and Wealth
Ep. 71: Money Thoughts: Healing Our Judgments Around Money
Ep. 72: Money Thoughts: What is your Money Personality?
Let's dive into this popular trend and make someone's day (and yours)!

This episode is a life-changer.  Amy Kemp joins Cheryl today to talk about the "should" energy we often use on ourselves.  I have to... I need to... I should... These are obligation statements coming from our subconscious beliefs about what life should look like.  How can we switch to, "I get to...," or "I want to..."?  Amy shares a visual and a verbal method to interrupt our thought habits.
If we're not going to "should on ourselves" then how can we make decisions in life? Try Amy's triangle of key aspects of life: quality of life, paying you what you're worth, and passion and purpose.  She walks us through exactly how to use these to make decisions that align with your boundaries around your goals and ambition.
And maybe my favorite part, we're expanding this discussion into thoughts and energy around money.  Amy is encouraging us to allow money to flow in and out, because when we do that, the flow can grow.  Cleaning up our obligation energy and thoughts around money is a powerful change.
You'll want to save this episode, listen again, and share with your friends!

Affirmations are one of my favorite tools for transforming your mindset and belief about various aspects of your life.  But, if your brain immediately argues with you as soon as you affirm something about great success or exciting things happening, you are losing the benefit of the affirmation.
What to do? Include a "but" in the middle!
Today I'm sharing a method for creating affirmations that you actually CAN believe, get excited about, and use over and over again to start moving toward to your goals.
Make sure to listen to the full affirmation episode:
