Highlights include the ‘triple threat' of healthy aging — engaging in physical activity, maintaining a whole foods diet, and fostering social connections. They introduce attainable habit strategies that allow anyone to kickstart their journey to age-proof their life, regardless of their current age or physical condition.Key Takeaways:Social connectedness is a vital ingredient for healthy aging, possibly contributing up to eight additional healthy years to one's life. It encompasses aspects like a sense of purpose, feelings of belonging, spiritual practices, reasons for waking up each morning, and the state of personal relationships.Regular movement and a diet consisting primarily of whole foods each have the potential to add up to four healthy years to one's life.Small steps or simple lifestyle habit changes play a significant role in introducing and sustaining new routines focused on healthy aging and social connectedness.Age is not a barrier to learning new skills or developing healthy habits; in fact, it is never too late to start embarking on these practices.Prioritizing self-investment and self-love are paramount for promoting overall well-being and form the basis of effective healthy aging strategies.Resources referenced in the episode:Kristine on LinkedInKristine on IGCycling Without AgeDebi's Website

Common examples include "I'm too old to try new things" and "Every ache means the worst."Why do ANTs Matter?Left unchecked, ANTs shape how we see the world and limit our actions. Debi explains how the brain seeks to validate thoughts, directing focus. This impacts feelings and behaviors.Recognizing Your Own ANTs  Debi guides visualizing ANTs as separate from ourselves. See them as tiny ants crawling on sentences apart from you. This gives the power to choose different perspectives.Questioning Deeply Held BeliefsSome ANTs feel completely true, but asking if all people agree reveals them as stories, not facts. Writing thoughts down helps objectively analyze what's belief versus reality.Shifting to Supportive ThoughtsNotice which thoughts inspire your dreams or hold you back. Intentionally choose thoughts that support goals rather than ANT-dictated limitations. You have control over your perspective.Find out about Debi's community Busy Being Flawsome for group coaching on discovering your potential beyond ANT-imposed boundaries at JumpseatCoaching.com.

My desire is for you to pause….give yourself the chance to percolate on this. Be Sherlock-like and ignite curiosity.The reason I want you to stop believing your past should have been different is because when we're past-focused we can start to feel “meh” about life. Being past-focused can make life feel like you're pushing a big bolder up a really steep mountain. A struggle, something to survive.As you start to flip the script, start to focus on the future life becomes exciting and compelling.I also want to be real with you here on this podcast. Teaching your brain new ways of believing is work. It's ongoing. It takes being willing to feel all the feels, being present with yourself, thinking about your thinking, and deciding on purpose what you want to think.Yes, you can get the “how-to's” from books, webinars, podcasts, videos, etc. Here is what I know….success in every area of life….whether you're trying to exit the drink, over drinking shame & regret cycle or doubling or tripling your income, or if you want to have a better relationship with your spouse or your kids….whatever it is you're wanting to transform….success comes from 20% of what you learn from books, podcasts, workshops, seminars, courses, etc. and 80% comes from mindset.What I'm sharing with you here on Aging Flipped is the mindset side of the equation. If you'd like to chat with me about how you can incorporate some of the same techniques and tools and strategies I've picked up along my journey that makes me a successful coach, whether it's in my business as a leader of business masterminds or ending a decade of daily over drinking alcohol to effortlessly in control without feeling miserable or deprived or my journey with taking charge of my adult ADHD or transforming my relationship with myself from one of judge, jury, and executioner to being my own raving fan and falling in love with my flawsome self.

In honor of ADHD awareness month, I'm bringing you a special episode.When you've got ADHD, getting support can be a traumatic experience.It can be hard to describe what's happening for you.....You can feel ashamed that you're not able to "get it together" like other people seem to be able to. Today's podcast is a conversation between myself and my dear friend Jennifer.  Jennifer is a self-proclaimed rebel, a stand-up comedian, and a former comedy club owner. She had always embraced her ‘party girl' status as a badge of honor until the ramifications of her drinking and her impulsive lifestyle became destructive and unmanageable.When Jennifer was diagnosed with adult ADHD in her 40s she realized that she had spent more than 20 years self-medicating her symptoms with alcohol. Drinking was the easiest and fastest way to shut off the constant chatter in her brain. She also discovered that alcohol abuse among people with ADHD is much more common than it is in people without the condition.Jennifer and I both have ADHD. We're sharing our story. Sharing things that have worked for us and opening up the conversation so others don't feel so alone. So, take a listen and let me know what you think. I know this is an important discussion for both the person with ADHD as well as the person who loves someone with ADHD. The doors to Busy Being Flawsome are officially open! If you're ready to get off of the hamster wheel of thinking, feeling like, and believing you're not good enough while hanging out with other women exiting the shame train, creating radical self-acceptance, and breaking through barriers, join us right now! 

All this kind of thinking does is make us quit going after what we want the second something goes wrong.Life is filled with quitting. We just aren't taught which quitting is good for us and which quitting is holding us back. Most of us associate quitting with being "bad." We only do it when things fall apart. We quit because we run out of willpower, we overdrink alcohol, overeat food, do some retail therapy or binge-watch TV after a bad day, or when we don't do things perfectly. None of those things are worth quitting over. Listen to the episode to learn what you need to quit in order to stop feeling "meh" about life and start flipping that script in your head about what's possible for you in this season of life. And, do me a favor after you listen. Take a screenshot, post why you loved it on social media, and tag me on TwitterIf you're ready to flip the script around what's possible for you in this season of life, join me inside Busy Being Flawsome. 

I think this is, ultimately, the biggest freedom we have. People can do countless different things to us but they can't tell us what we can make it mean. They can't tell us how it should feel emotionally.This realization is what began my journey to untangling many unwanted habits and behaviors. The biggest domino for me is eliminating my desire for alcohol. This is also what's giving me the freedom to create an epic life. The freedom to embrace all of life. To fall in love with my flawsome self! WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVERWhat's possible when you believeThe importance of understanding that we can choose to believe anything we want.How life changes when you flip the script in your head about what's possible. Connect with me at JumpseatCoaching.com

So often, we have the urge to push away our emotions, especially when dealing with substance abuse issues. In fact, that could be a lot of the reason we decide to drink, because it's a way to “take the edge off” of our emotions. But, I've come to learn that trusting myself to feel and experience my emotions has made a world of difference in living my epic life.Understanding our behaviors is the first step in changing your approach to your emotions and beginning to unblock your EXIT. That's what I talk about in today's episode, which focuses a lot on the Tiny Habits book and training that I'm a strong believer in.Here is what I cover in this episode:Getting Rid of the Need to “Take the Edge Off”The Tiny Habits Behavior ModelThe Phases of the Behavior Change Master PlanIt's really not about getting rid of any behaviors, but rather, untangling them to gain a better understanding of them.

You didn't think it could happen in your own home, did you?Or that it could be the child you know from across the street?How about the boy or girl whose face gets lost in the crowd because they don't have a family and a solidified place to call home?Human trafficking is all around us, and it is not just an international battle that we're facing. Right here, right in front of us, it's prevalent and we need to be more aware, start having those conversations with our kids, and look out for signs.January is National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Every year since 2010, the President has dedicated the month to raising awareness about the different forms of human trafficking, also known as modern slavery, and educating people about this crime and how to spot it.I want to really bring this forward and remove the stigma surrounding human trafficking, so I invited this week's guest, Catharine Paterno, to join me in this conversation and provide her own knowledge and experience. She is dedicated to serving all the families and children she meets and is beyond thrilled to be working for Opportunity. Cat is devoted to providing families with the support and resources they need to create happy, healthy, and safe environments for their children.With the right resources at our disposal and this newfound knowledge from this podcast episode, you will know what signs to look out for and to help prevent human trafficking.

On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I talk about how your common thought patterns are sabotaging your success with getting out of the toxic drinking cycle. It's easy to fall into negative thought patterns, but there's one word to avoid that can help change that.Some of the topics I discuss in this episode are:Symbolism of changeExamining your thoughtsThe one word to avoidHow I can help youThe way you think about yourself and talk to yourself dictates how you are. Sometimes, I know we find ourselves in a rut where it seems it's impossible to change your thoughts. But it's a practice pattern, meaning that when you do it so much, it becomes normal. Once you know the one word to change, your EXIT will become that much easier.You've already embodied the EXIT mentality in other aspects of your life, and if you can do that with what you've already achieved, imagine how you can apply that to finally getting out of the cycle and knowing that you can achieve the impossible with exiting the drinking life.Thanks for listening!

On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I'm conveying just how much the words we tell ourselves impact our ability to exit the drinking life. The word “can't” makes it into our vocabulary far too often, prompting us to feel deprived, restricted, and all out miserable. When we're giving up drinking, we need to hack our brains and replace the “can'ts” with all of the positive reasons we're looking to make a change.Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:Words evoke certain emotionsPost-Traumatic Restriction Disorder (PTRD)Changing the words inside your head I hope that this episode ignites your curiosity around the way you're talking to yourself and what the words you use mean for your attitude towards your own exit strategy. Sometimes, allowing yourself to feel less deprived and more empowered is as simple as deleting a “can't” and reframing your own thoughts.Thanks for listening!

On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I'm sharing my revelations on how nothing outside of us actually creates the feelings that exist inside of us. The reality is that we create our feelings and the experiences of our lives through our own thoughts and actions.There are so many feelings that society imposes on us, dictating that we “should” feel a certain way when XYZ happens. But what happens when the opposite is true? I explore that here, along with how you can change your thoughts around alcohol throughout your EXIT journey.Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:The power of reframing our thoughts Reliance on alcohol to dictate feelings Challenging yourself to think differently I hope that this episode ignites your curiosity around the way you're approaching your feelings and how you alter them with the power of your thoughts and mindset. As you make your EXIT from drinking, it can be hard to imagine who you'll be or how you'll be happy without your beverage of choice. But approaching your feelings and thoughts differently can go a long way in easing these worries.Thanks for listening!

On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I'm diving into how important it is to imagine a future you, free of the hold alcohol has on you. Our brains are wired to either assume we can't reach this new version of ourselves or to think we'll wake up a completely different person through this change. However, if you go about imagining this future you with the right frame of mind, it can be a really powerful part of your journey.Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:How I struggled during my EXIT journey to envision the “future me”The natural human tendencies that stand in the way of envisioning your journey to successThe importance of this “future self” in your EXIT journeyI hope that this episode brings awareness to the fact that even when it feels like a complete impossibility that one day alcohol will be an irrelevant part of your life.

On this episode of Exit The Drinking Life Podcast, I'm questioning what you view as your drinking identity and whether it's currently serving you. While many of us realize that we want alcohol to stop being so important to us, we fail to realize that the current drinking identity we harbor keeps us from attaining the freedom we desire. Some of the topics and questions raised in this episode are:How does focusing on where you don't want to be, rather than where you do want to be, impact the way you see yourself and approach your goals?Is taking your current identity into the future with you sabotaging your success?Recognizing the cycle of experimenting, acting out, igniting curiosity, and trusting yourself to achieve the ultimate goal: the exit.The importance of naming your current alcohol identity and questioning if you want to keep it.I hope that this episode motivated you to really examine what your current drinking identity is and whether it's something that can help prompt the permanent transformation that you seek. I believe that significant life changes come from applying the lessons you learn and discovering your own self-image, as you journey through your metamorphosis. Thanks for listening!
