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.

I love a heist movie! And today's quote is from Sandra Bullock's character in Ocean's 8.
When we make a choice to step outside our comfort zone into the growth zone, that's where the magic happens. We are choosing to step into bigger possibilities and we are also choosing to be an example that could inspire someone else to do the same.
Be the example. Do this for her.

It would be wonderful if there were a super healthy way to make a substitution for foods we want to avoid, wouldn't it?
Let's talk about whether the gluten-free substitutes (or fat-free or meat-free... insert your own variation) are actually a healthier option.
I'll share my recommendation related to the 80/20 rule - and my fond memories of fat-free peanut butter and jelly muffins (wink).
Eating healthy is a long term sport - it's a marathon - and if we do our best most of the time, that's a huge win.

Episode 46: Spilling the Tea on Gluten Free
Episode 17: Making Gut Health Digestible; Nutrition, Immunity and the Gut-Brain Connection

Have you heard the saying, "dress for the job you want"? Today let's talk about all the situations where acting and dressing the part can get you so much farther.
Most likely, you belong exactly where you are. You might be telling yourself something different, but you belong. So, the more we can walk in with our head held high and feeling like a million bucks with the way we are dressed, the better we feel.
Maybe throw in a power pose as well!

Two guests join me today for a fantastic conversation about what it actually takes to be an entrepreneur. We've all thought about it; some of us have done it... starting a business. Let's talk about the real stories behind the scenes.
My guests, Jennifer Mulchandani of Arlington Strategy, and Tara Claeys of DesignTLC, have done it and done it well. Jennifer and Tara have started multiple businesses and got together with OMG Teach Me to share their ups and downs.
You'll hear:
Failure is part of the journey.
Risk taking - knowing your risk tolerance is key - and then walking through the risk brings growth.
Trust yourself! We talk about trusting your gut and your intuition and how to take and ask for feedback as well.
Money mindset - do you feel WORTH IT?
And in the end, entrepreneurs must be ready to ride the ups and the downs.

Visualizing may sound like a challenge, so I have a practice exercise for you.
Did you know that creating a mental picture of something happening (that you want to happen) and adding positive emotion to it and repeating this mental picture over and over makes it vastly more likely to actually happen?
Let's talk about why and how.
I'm referring to the book Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz. Make sure you check out the full booklist at www.omgteachme.com/read as well.

OMG friends, we are continuing with the complaining theme this week because I missed an important piece in episode 66 (listen here)! Another reason we sometimes complain is to put ourselves down and make others feel better.
No.
Stop doing that.
Please do try to make others feel better, but do not do it by putting yourself down or speaking unkindly to yourself.
Do it by listening, helping, or helping them move to another subject, but not by lowering yourself in the hopes that they will feel better vs you.
Just no.
Tell me what you think! Let's connect on social media (www.instagram.com/omgteachme).
