On this episode, special guest Rachelle Atkins, is sharing stories from her memoir with us, and excerpts from her new book Sleep like Starfish.Sleep like Starfish chronicles how a couch-surfing, disassociated teenage high school dropout with debilitating chronic illness, a constant loop of intrusive thoughts, and a haunting abandonment wound goes on to marry an underage musician with a fake ID and become a loving, responsible mother of two who graduates from college with high honors.Rachelle Atkins not only examines the way childhood traumas manifest in the physical body, but also how a child who feels like "a body with no skin" can become a woman who lives with a middle-finger faith, believing that she is seen and held by something bigger than her tiny human self, even when her anxiety rumbles and her body acts like a traitor. Holding the tension between the bad that was and the good that is and can be, this memoir is a turnabout tale of discovering self-worth and learning to heal a dysregulated nervous system by coming to terms with a traumatic past, imparting levity whenever possible, and cultivating a deep sense of belief.Interact with Rachelle Atkins via:Instagram | FacebookBuy Sleep Like Starfish via:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Google Books | Park Road Books Contact UsSupport the showSupport the Show | Buy Me a CoffeeText or Voicemail | 980.355.9665 Interact with Mediocre Mystic via:Web | Email |Instagram | X Twitter | Facebook | TikTok | YouTube Subscribe & Follow | Rate & ReviewApple | Spotify | YouTubeMusic by '86 Aerostar | Logo by Bizri Creative Group

Are you ready for the new retirement? The old-fashioned "full-stop" retirement simply doesn't work for everyone. For many people, to retire happy, it includes some form of work - on your own terms. In a hybrid retirement, work - paid or unpaid - can provide meaning, connection, purpose, fulfillment - and some income. There are more options available today to create a hybrid retirement that works for you. But that may mean changing lanes. You'll need to plan ahead and lay the groundwork. Justin Smith, CFP., CAP, CFA of Savant Wealth Management, offers his tips and a tool to help you think outside the box and navigate career crossroads. Justin joins us from Phoenix, Arizona. ________________________ Delaying retirement?  You could wait until you retire and ask What Now? – and then scramble – or drift. Don't be that person. Instead, start planning for the non-financial side of retirement now. Delaying when to retire doesn't mean delaying your preparation. Apply the same principles of design thinking that Nike and other leading companies use to design your future. Learn more about my One-on-One coaching and small group programs. Take the first step toward designing your new life today – schedule a call. __________________________ Bio Justin specializes in helping executives and successful professionals navigate the chapter between full-time work and full-stop retirement, which we call a “Victory Lap.” He has been involved in the financial services industry since 2005. Prior to joining Savant, he was a partner and portfolio manager for an independent Registered Investment Advisor firm in Chicago. Justin earned a bachelor of business administration degree with a concentration in finance from the University of Michigan. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and has earned the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® (CAP®) and the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) designations. He is a frequent speaker on the topics of Victory Lap Retirement and tax-smart retirement planning.

Nobody announced it, but it's becoming more and more popular. 20 years ago there was really one path where it was somebody in the C-suite and then they would go serve on a board and they went from working 80 hours a week to working 20 hours a week. They'd still fly around and go to board meetings and things like that. But now that has been democratized and there's countless different ways that people can take a hybrid path. And the big change I'm seeing is that a more people have access to these hybrid paths. Basically anybody who puts in the work can find something that checks all the boxes for them. And the other thing I'm seeing is that people are not waiting until 65 or full retirement age, or the point where they feel fully financial independent. They're jumping off the treadmill earlier and then they're playing that hybrid game longer." On Planning Ahead "In the retirement planning game,

And that's Number Five: You Already Possess What You Desire Most. And of course Dorothy's companions are classic examples of that in the most wonderful way. But to take that in, what does that really mean for me? What does that mean for you? It's really profound. We're rushing around looking outside ourselves for the things that we think matter most for money, for success, For me it might be courage. I tend to suffer from anxiety. And so courage. I would never think of myself as a courageous person but this Emerald is telling me I am a courageous person and that courage, I'm not going to find it elsewhere." On Mistakes "The notion that there are no mistakes, only lessons. And that's so huge. When I grew up and it was all about getting the answers right in school and not making a mistake. And what you really don't want to be is wrong. But what if you could just remove that? And what if it's just that life is a series of experiments and explorations and it's not going to be right or wrong, it's just you're going learn from them. So I'm going to take a different approach next time. What a relief that would be to be able to approach life that way." On the Beginner's Mind "As I look at the Emeralds, the first one is Listen to Your Longing. And that's from the amazing moment in the barnyard where Dorothy begins to sing. And what a valuable place to start that is for all of us to listen to that longing. What is it we long for? But the second one is See the Situation As If For the First Time. And that one comes from the moment when Dorothy steps out into Munchkin Land because the expression on her face is just this appreciation for the miraculous. It's like, Oh my gosh.

Those of a certain age remember those classic C7 incandescent Christmas bulbs and the soft glow they produced. Sure, LEDs are longer lasting and more energy efficient, but they're just not the same. Michigan artist David Andora is the founder of Tru-Tone, a maker of LED lights that are indistinguishable from the real thing. I recently spoke with David about the company's unlikely origins, its recent viral success, and a certain music star who was blamed for cleaning out their inventory.  Mentioned in This Episode Tru-Tone Website Tru-Tone on Instagram Tru-Tone on Facebook Tru-Tone on Youtube Tru-Tone on TikTok Tru-Tone on Twitter Music in This Episode "This Christmas" — Hot Music, via Pixabay "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" — Kevin MacLeod, via Incompetech Buy the Christmas Past Book!

Rebecca G. Adams, she's a sociologist, describes it as having repeated unplanned interaction and shared vulnerability. So that's school, right? You see someone every day, you have recess, you have gym, you have lunch, right? For some people that's work, for other people not, because sometimes people go to work and they're not quite vulnerable, which is why one study found that the more time we spend together at work, the less close we feel. And I think, in general, as we move forward to adulthood, we just don't inhabit those same types of settings that really foster connection. So if we rely on this concept of making friends that we had when we were kids, we're just going to be like, it should just happen, right? And then we don't. We're not realizing we're not in that setting anymore. So it's not going to just happen for you. And in fact, there is a study on older adults that found that people who thought friendship happened based on luck were lonely five years later, whereas those that saw it as happening based on effort were less lonely five years later because they made that effort."

Am I ready to retire? Should I stay or should I go? Who will I be if I retire? Planning for retirement brings a plethora of questions to ponder. Esteemed LA Times columnist Steve Lopez shares his year-long exploration of these, and other questions, in his new book Independence Day: What I Learned About Retirement from Some Who've Done It and Some Who Never Will. His journey included conversations with a wide range of people with different perspectives on retirement that informed his own decision on whether to retire, keep going - or do something else. The observations and insights can help you retire smarter - in a way that's right for you. Steve Lopez joins us from Southern California. Bio Steve Lopez is a California native who has been an L.A. Times columnist since 2001. He has won more than a dozen national journalism awards for his reporting and column writing at seven newspapers and four news magazines, and is a four-time Pulitzer finalist for commentary – in 2012, for his columns on elder care; in 2016, for his columns on income inequality in California; in 2018, for his columns on housing and homelessness; and in 2020, for purposeful pieces about rising homelessness in Los Angeles, which amplified calls for government action to deal with a long-visible public crisis.

One thing I had not given a lot of thought to, and I was persuaded by among other people, a woman by the name of Nancy Schlossberg, who is in her nineties and lives in Sarasota, Florida. I hope her house is still there after the storm. She talked about how much thought should go into this time in your life, because this is a huge transition. And it's not just going from work to not working. There's a transition in every aspect of your life and your relationship, say, with your spouse, or with your colleagues who will become former colleagues - do they still have time for you? Have you developed enough friendships, hobbies or causes that when you do finally leave your job and have all of that extra time, do you know what you're going to do with it? Do you know if it's going to be fulfilling?
