When the economy gets rocky, smart businesses don't panic—they prepare. They focus on what really matters, streamline what they can, and make sure they're flexible enough to weather the storm. In this episode, we're borrowing that same mindset and translating it into the way we think about our own self-care routines and health habits. Because whether it's travel, stress, a challenging diagnosis, or just a really busy season, life will test your systems.We'll explore six ways businesses recession-proof themselves—and translate them into strategies you can use to build more resilience into your own routines. Not to control every variable, but to stay steady when things get wobbly.Key TakeawaysIdentify your non-negotiables--the routines, supports, and boundaries that keep you grounded and functional.Once your essentials are clear, you can consciously pause or scale back the “nice-to-haves” without guilt. This prevents burnout and preserves energy for what really matters.Don't rely on just one strategy. Have multiple ways to meet your needs so you're not derailed by a single point of failure.Build your reserves--whether it's food in the freezer, margin in your calendar, or emotional stamina. In a pinch, shift from growth to resilience mode. Maintenance is a win when your capacity is limited.Strengthen your relationships with the people, tools, and systems that support your follow-through. Don't wait until things get rocky to realize how much you depend on those connections. Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

Will you succeed in reaching your next big goal? Only time will tell. Because success (or failure) generally comes at the end of the process. Except that every success or failure is actually made up of countless smaller successes or failures that happened along the way. And paying more attention to those can save us a lot of frustration and disappointment. In this episode, I'm borrowing a powerful concept from the world of business that can help you notch more wins, build confidence, and feel more in control of your progress—whatever you're working toward.Key TakeawaysLagging indicators reflect the results of your actions—but only after the fact.Leading indicators are the consistent, controllable actions that move you toward your goal. They help you stay engaged with the process, even when the payoff is weeks or months away.When you define progress by your actions, you create more opportunities for wins—even before the results show up.Clarifying what your outcome is meant to make possible helps sustain motivation—and shapes smarter action plans.If progress is elusive, look upstream. Ask: "What behaviors am I consistently tracking—and are they the right ones?" Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

This episode is the second part of a series discussing the intersection of mental health and the opioid crisis, particularly its impact on youth and families. If you haven't heard part one, I strongly encourage you to do that! We continue our examination of the topic with Kristen Genovese, CEO of Not My Kid, a nonprofit organization based in Arizona. We explore the lack of support from schools for children dealing with critical health conditions, the mental health crisis in Arizona, and the challenges schools face due to high student-to-social worker ratios. At the heart of the tie in between the great work they do and who I reach with this podcast is the considerable value of a resource like this to parents in the workplace. I dive into the natural fit that provides struggling parents with resources that create a value within an organization that is viewed by employees as one that truly cares. It's time to take a harder look at the role of employers in supporting parents through corporate wellness programs. We have such a strong need for community and corporate involvement to address these issues and we'll provides insights into how Not My Kid is striving to support families on a broader scale.

Hey humans, on this episode, I talk with Kristen Genovese, CEO of Not My Kid, as part one of a two-part series discussing the critical intersection of mental health, the fentanyl crisis, and its impact on children and families. Kristen shares her extensive background in behavioral health and her journey to Not My Kid, emphasizing the organization's focus on prevention and early intervention. I am on the board of Not My Kid, and as those of you who know my background, this is a critical area of personal and professional focus for me, too. We discuss the evolving nature of the opioid crisis and the importance of adapting support systems to meet the changing needs of families. Our conversation gets into the challenges of addressing substance use and mental health issues, particularly in the context of generational trauma and the stigma surrounding these struggles.  We talk in specific about connecting these resources both within communities and workplaces to go beyond conventional workplace resources like Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), which often fall short in providing adequate support. We also talk about "Not My Kid" celebrating its 25th anniversary and focusing on expanding its reach and impact in the next 25 years. They are developing a full continuum of care model that includes prevention, intervention, and treatment, as well as family navigation services. The organization is also adapting its approach to engage with parents and children in the digital age as well. Again, this is part one of two, and the next episode will further explore the mental health crisis and actionable steps for parents, grandparents, and employers to support children.

If you feel like your progress (or your motivation) has stalled, you have options. You can redouble your efforts. You can take an entirely different approach. Or, you might even decide to walk away. In this episode, we'll talk about figuring out which route serves you best. Key Takeaways1. Taking a break can help protect the quality of our work, create space for creative insights, and ensure that we're using our time and energy in the most meaningful way.2. The urge to step away can sometimes be a form of avoidance. When something feels hard or tedious, pushing through may be the key to progress. The challenge is knowing when persistence serves us and when it doesn't.3. Just because something was valuable or necessary in the past doesn't mean it still is. We can get stuck in commitments out of habit, sunk costs, or fear of change. It's important to ask: Would I choose this again today?4. Unplanned breaks can still serve us. When life forces us to pause, we can reframe it as an opportunity for reflection, skill-building, or re-evaluating our direction. 5. Clarity comes from asking the right questions. 1.  What would taking a break or stepping back make possible? Would you use that freed-up time and energy to do something else that is important and meaningful to you? 2. Are there clear benefits to continuing? Are you willing to give those up, or would you regret it?3. Are you seeing the results you had hoped to see? If not, why not?4. Might you be better off pursuing the same goal but in a different way? 5. Is this goal still meaningful to you?6. Am I continuing in this effort because it still makes sense, or because I'm having trouble cutting bait on the time or effort I've already invested? 7. Has my objective changed? Is this goal still aligned with my current objective?8. If I were starting from scratch today, would I still commit to this?MentionedEp 488 of the What Works podcast with Tara McMullinThe Change Academy will be on hiatus for the next several weeks.

Whenever we make plans or set goals, it's important anticipate the inevitable bumps in the road, and be ready to adapt and course-correct. But sometimes, life doesn't just serve up a bump in the road. It delivers an earthquake that shakes us to the core and opens up a chasm into which our entire life--and all of our fancy plans--are thrown.  In an instant, the goals, projects and ambitions that have been driving our thoughts, activities, and even our identities become irrelevant.Today, psychologist Bethy Campbell joins me to talk about how to handle it when life goes completely off the rails.Key TakeawaysMany of us tend to define ourselves by the goals that we set and accomplish. Consider the possibility that how we deal with life's catastrophes may be even more revealing of our character and identity. Even when you're stuck with something you didn't choose, you still have the power to choose how you respond to and learn from those experiences.Before we go looking for those silver linings or opportunities, it's important to allow ourselves to acknowledge our grief and disappointment over what we may have lost. Even if we are forced to radically recalibrate our goals or our definition of success, setting doable goals gives us something to work toward and celebrate.MentionedLife Directions Consulting with Dr. Bethy CampbellWellness Works Here Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

These final few days of the year are a great time to reflect on the year that's past and think about what we'd like to focus on or accomplish in the New Year. And in this episode, I'm sharing a three-part process that might just become your new end-of-year ritual.  Instead of your New year's Resolutions being a well-intentioned flash in the pan, we're going to kindle a flame that will burn brightly all year. Key Takeaways- Reflecting on our past successes, however modest, helps build the self-efficacy needed for future change- Connecting our goals to our values helps us tap into the intrinsic motivations that fuels sustained effort. - Link each goal to an identity statement that reflects who you want to become, not just what you want to achieve- Focus on no more than 2-3 goals at a time to avoid overwhelming yourself and diluting your efforts- Create "if-then" commitments for how you will handle potential obstacles when they arise Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

Struggling with hard-to-quit habits? Whether it's the nightly glass of wine, mindless snacking, or endless social media scrolling, in this episode we're talking about why these habits are so sticky - and more importantly, how to finally change them. You'll learn how your brain's reward system actually works (it's not what most people think!) and practical strategies for making lasting changes without giving up pleasure altogether. You'll learn specific techniques for navigating cravings, resetting your reward system, and creating new habits that satisfy your brain's needs in more constructive ways. If you're tired of feeling stuck in cycles of pleasure-seeking behaviors, this episode offers a fresh perspective and actionable solutions for lasting change.Key Takeaways1. Some habits are simply routines, but some habitual behaviors engage the brain's reward centers, which makes them harder to break.2. Dopamine doesn't make us feel good. It motivates us to pursue certain anticipated rewards. 3. The reward we get from unwholesome habits often gets less potent over time. Recognizing this can be a powerful step toward breaking the cycle.4. Instead of exhausting your willpower trying to resist these habits, focus on pursuing something else that provides a similar neurochemical reward but without the negative consequences.5. Changing the context in which a habit occurs can help weaken its hold. The more cues you disrupt, the easier it will be to weaken automatic responses and create new habitsMentionedEp #156: Why we resist positive changeEp #157: What to do with negative thoughtsGet email notifications when new episodes publish Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

Our thoughts powerfully impact our lives—but we don't always pay enough attention to what we're telling ourselves. In this episode, we'll take a look at four distinct categories of thoughts: those that are both true and helpful, those that might not be proven but serve us well, those that are true but get in our way, and those that are neither true nor helpful.I even made you a cool decision tree worksheet to help you apply these concepts to your own thoughts and move forward with more clarity and confidence.Key TakeawaysRemember that not all true thoughts are helpful—reframing them can better support your growth.Keep an eye out for absolute statements like "always" or "never;" these are red flags for cognitive distortions.Thoughts that are neither true nor helpful can be safely disregarded.Building your "True and Helpful Thought Library" can help keep you focused on your growth and progress. Mentioned in this EpisodeDecision Tree WorksheetEpisode #156: How to Overcome Your Resistance to ChangeWorkbook/Listening Guide: 8 Things You Need to Create Positive Change Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

 In this first episode of a three-part series, we are digging in to why we so often resist making positive changes in our lives. Resistance isn't simply stubbornness or laziness; it can be your brain's way of keeping you safe. The key is to recognize what our resistance is trying to tell us, so that it doesn't hold us back.   Key Takeaways:Remember that resistance is often a self-protection mechanism, not laziness or stubbornnessBe alert to the four ways that resistance might show up: emotionally, cognitively, socially, and physicallyInstead of fighting resistance, get curious about what it's trying to protectTake the smallest possible step toward desired change to build confidence graduallyLab ExperimentStep 1: AwarenessThe next time you notice yourself pushing back against a change - even a positive one - pause and notice what's happening in four areas:Your emotions: What feelings are coming up? Your body: Where do you feel the resistance physically? Your thoughts: What story are you telling yourself? Your relationships: How might this change affect your connections with others? Step 2: CuriosityWhen you notice resistance, instead of saying "Why can't I just do this?" try asking "What might I be trying to protect?" Step 3: Incremental Action. Ask yourself "What's the smallest possible step I could take toward this change?" Related ListeningEpisode #137: How to do the things you don't want to do Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

Craving a break from your routines? Discover why that might actually be sabotaging your happiness…as well as your progress.Molly Watts returns to the Change Academy to help me unravel the counterintuitive link between structure and relaxation. Learn how to craft routines that boost mental and physical well-being, make your time off more enjoyable, and ease the transition back into your normal schedule.Key Takeaways- It's important to challenge our assumptions about what "freedom" really means in our lives. True freedom often comes from embracing structure, not abandoning it. - When it comes to improved mental and physical well-being, the consistency of our routines matters more than optimizing them.- Building awareness of how routine disruptions affect us can help us make better choices.- Structure and routine are not the opposite of freedom, but the scaffolding that makes freedom possible. With practice, we can learn to find freedom within structure, leading to greater life satisfaction and achievement of our goals.Mentioned- Alcohol Minimalist Podcast with Molly Watts- Weighless Program for sustainable weight management Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

In today's episode, Ben and Ernie chat with Veronica Brashler, who is in charge of the Corporate Wellness program at YNAB. Veronica's YNAB story starts with working freelance as a wedding photographer with a highly variable, and seasonal income. Both she and her husband were self-employed at the same time, while raising a young family, and the stress of variable income was high. In her words, they felt like they always had to take the next job, because they weren't sure where the next paycheck would come from if they said no. This made it difficult to plan vacations or just take time off to relieve stress (during peak wedding season she would typically work multiple weddings every weekend!).   When she discovered YNAB, the stress relief was immediate. All of a sudden they had clarity around their true expenses, and how much was "enough." Today, Veronica helps others find this sense of relief with her work at YNAB. Her current job is to work with companies to provide YNAB to their employees as part of their benefits package. And she's brought lot of YNAB goodies for the Budget Nerds community!   Share YNAB with your workplace and get some swag! Tell your employer about us and we'll reward you with some exclusive YNAB things. Here's how to make it happen: Write a message to your HR team requesting that they consider YNAB as an addition to your benefits package. You can use the templates at ynab.com/wellness/share for inspiration. Forward or bcc: your message to wellness-sales@ynab.com We'll thank you (profusely) and collect your mailing address.
