Retirement doesn't always look like the dream we imagined. In our first three years of retirement, we faced surprising challenges and transformational opportunities that changed our lives forever. From navigating relationship struggles while suddenly spending every hour together, to building healthier routines that completely reshaped our physical and mental well-being, to finding balance between a traditional retirement and building a second career, we learned powerful lessons that can help you design a more fulfilling future. Retirement isn't just about money, it's about lifestyle, health, relationships, and purpose.

One Year Retirement Checklist: https://bit.ly/RTchecklist. Five things I wish I knew before I retired and why the first six months of my retirement were filled with regret. In this video, we share the truth about retirement that no one talks about: too much free time, loss of identity, strained relationships, health struggles, and the myth that money will solve everything. You'll hear the story of a highly successful business owner who sold his company only to regret retirement until he rebuilt his life with purpose, passion, and a new identity. If you're entering retirement, already retired, or preparing for your discovery phase, these lessons will help you avoid the painful mistakes so many people make. What you'll learn in this video: - Why too much free time can cause stress and anxiety instead of freedom - How career success can hide your true identity – and how to reinvent yourself after retirement - Why love and friendship get harder, not easier in retirement, and how to strengthen relationships - The truth about money in retirement – and why it can't buy health, purpose, or joy - Why you need to treat retirement like a job with structure, habits, and intentional planning Whether you're 55, 60, 65, or 70, this conversation will show you how to create a retirement filled with meaning, energy, and happiness. #retirement_transformed #retirementcouple #retirement BUY MARK'S BOOK!

Thriving through Menopause with Fitness, Fat Loss and a Focused Mind
“Can someone just tell me what to eat?” If that's you, this episode is your simple, done-for-you day of Trim Healthy Mama meals—built for the midlife metabolism. I'm Coach Kris, menopause fitness specialist and host of The Menopause Makeover Podcast. Today we cut the noise and get practical: a straightforward meal planning rhythm that helps women in perimenopause and menopause lose weight with consistency—without complicated recipes or all-day prep. You'll learn how to anchor every plate with 25–30g protein, pair it with fiber and smart fuels (E and S), and space meals 3.5–4 hours to calm blood sugar and cravings. We'll map out energizing E breakfasts (think kefir smoothies, oats with a side of lean protein, sweet potato + chicken sausage), satisfying S options (eggs + egg whites, veggie scrambles, smoothie “soothies”), easy lunch frameworks (hormone-supporting salads, simple sandwiches with added protein), and no-fuss snacks that actually keep you full. Dinner? Think bowls or “protein + two veg” you can repeat all week with my “2-2 method”: bulk cook 2 proteins, 2 veggies, and prep 2 E carb bases for automatic meal planning. Inside: Why simplicity beats variety for fat loss after 40 (hello, consistency) The protein + fiber formula that stabilizes hormones in menopause How to use E vs S meals strategically to support energy, thyroid, and cortisol A rinse-and-repeat menu rhythm that saves your brain and your waistline A faith-forward nudge to nourish (not punish) your body this season If you're a Trim Healthy Mama who's tired of overthinking meal planning—or you're brand-new and just want a plan—press play. Let's make losing weight in menopause simpler, calmer, and sustainable.

Welcome back to the Autism Little Learners Podcast. I'm Tara, and I'm so glad you're here today. If you've been following along, this is Part 2 of our series on potty training autistic children with compassion. In our last episode, we talked about why potty training can be harder for autistic kids, how to prepare the environment, and how to build comfort and readiness before we ever expect a child to actually use the toilet. We also talked about some of the common pitfalls to avoid—like forcing kids to sit on the toilet every 10 minutes, or relying on outdated “3-day potty training” advice that just doesn't work for many of our kids. If you missed that episode, I highly recommend going back to listen first, because it really sets the foundation for everything we'll talk about today. In this episode, we're moving into the “how.” We'll go over practical strategies for implementation, how to track progress and make adjustments, and we'll spend some time troubleshooting common challenges—things like fear of flushing, withholding, resistance, and nighttime dryness. This episode is going to be full of tips you can use right away, so let's dive in. Takeaways Potty training is not linear—setbacks are normal, and small steps forward are worth celebrating. Visual supports like cue cards, schedules, and step-by-step sequences give structure and predictability. Pairing bathroom trips with natural routines (after meals, before leaving the house, before bed) helps build consistency. Incorporating a child's special interests into social stories, visuals, or play makes potty training more engaging. Tracking data helps you see patterns and know whether strategies are working or need to be adjusted. Fear of flushing can be reduced by covering sensors on automatic toilets or using noise-reducing headphones. Resistance behaviors like excessive flushing or playing in toilet water can be redirected to alternative sensory activities. Withholding urine or bowel movements is often about anxiety or routine preference—focus on relaxation, stability, and medical checks if needed. Nighttime dryness is a separate developmental milestone and often comes much later—don't let it overshadow daytime progress.

Are you following Trim Healthy Mama but feeling like menopause has changed all the rules? You're not failing—your hormones are shifting, and your body simply needs a new strategy. In this episode of the Menopause Makeover Podcast, I break down why what worked in your 30s doesn't work the same way in midlife—and how to confidently adapt Trim Healthy wisdom so you can lose weight with high protein meals, balance hormones, and simplify food choices without frustration. You'll learn: Why midlife hormone imbalance makes weight loss harder—and what to do about it. The role of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid in fat storage and metabolism. How to anchor every meal with 25–30 grams of protein to preserve muscle and fuel fat loss. The simple way to rotate meals, add healthy carbs, and stop fearing E meals. How to manage stress, sleep, and exercise so your hormones start working with you, not against you.

In this special two-part series we're tackling one of the biggest challenges many parents and educators face—potty training autistic children. I'll be sharing compassionate, practical strategies that take into account sensory differences, communication needs, and interoception, so you can feel more confident guiding your autistic child or students. Whether you're just getting started or stuck somewhere in the process, this series will give you the tools and encouragement you need. Takeaways Potty training autistic children is not a sprint—it's a marathon (or at least a half-marathon). Progress looks different for every child. Sensory sensitivities, interoception challenges, and communication differences are three of the biggest reasons potty training can be harder for autistic kids. Collecting baseline data (when accidents happen, how often they go) helps you build a roadmap for success. Making the bathroom inviting and sensory-friendly is a first step—soft lighting, calming colors, and incorporating favorite characters can reduce anxiety. Visual supports (bathroom symbols, step-by-step sequences, cue cards) build predictability and reduce uncertainty. Exposure without pressure is key—start with goals like entering the bathroom or sitting on the toilet fully clothed. Modeling helps—siblings, parents, dolls, or stuffed animals can demonstrate potty routines in a playful way. Social stories provide a predictable narrative that prepares children for what happens during potty time. Imitation skills (like copying silly faces or clapping) build the foundation for imitating potty routines later. Avoid common pitfalls: don't put kids on the toilet every 10 minutes, don't force long, stressful sits, and don't expect “3-day training” timelines to work for every child.
