[This episode originally aired on April 4, 2023]  Meditation practice doesn't happen in a vacuum; it happens in the context of our life, and our life situations can vary tremendously  •  in extreme situations it can be easy to lose our connection to practice  •  one extreme is when our situation is really cozy and going really well  •  the other extreme, which I would like to focus on here, is when our lives take a dramatic turn and we are faced with dire situations of pain and loss  •  the idea is to bring our practice to bear, no matter what the situation is  •  there's a saying that goes “whatever you meet, join with practice”  •  this does not mean laying on some kind of idea of practice as a band-aid to avoid the harshness of the situation; it means that our practice cannot be separated from the immediate experience, from each moment, no matter how painful or difficult that experience may be  •  mindfulness practice trains us in the ability to bring our minds back so we can face what's happening on the spot  •  the practice of cultivating loving kindness and compassion allows us to make a deeper connection with others through our own pain.

So many experienced professionals hit a point where corporate life stops making sense. But knowing it and doing something about it? That's a different challenge. After a long career in financial services and tech, Carmen Orr found herself at a crossroads. She'd built high-performing teams, navigated executive leadership, and thrived in complex business environments. But then layoffs, ageism, and the slow realisation that the traditional job market wasn't built for people like her. So, she decided to do something radical: to bet on herself. In this episode, Carmen shares: The gut-punch of applying for jobs and getting one interview in nine months The invisible barriers of ageism in hiring and how fractional work flips the script Why she almost didn't go out on her own (and what changed her mind) How she landed her first clients The secret being a successful fractional leader Plus, she reveals the song that sums up her career transition—now added to the Change Unfiltered Playlist on Spotify.   Connect with Carmen: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmenorr/ Think2Perform website: https://www.think2perform.com/about-us/#team   Carmen's book recommendations: The AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter Decisions – Geoff Woods Team-Based Strategic Planning: A Complete Guide to Structuring, Facilitating, and Implementing the Process – C.

Hello, my lovely listeners! This week, I'm diving into something crucial for every family day care educator—being prepared for when things go wrong. Whether it's natural disasters, unexpected closures, or financial hiccups, too many educators are one emergency away from financial stress. This episode isn't about fear—it's about empowerment. It's about taking control, planning ahead, and making sure you have the safety nets in place to protect yourself, your business, and your well-being. Because no one is coming to save you—you have to take charge of your own future. What I Covered in This Episode: Why Charging Your Worth is Essential One of the biggest mistakes I see educators making? Undervaluing their work. You are not “profiting off the children” (let's shut that idea down right now!). You are profiting off your hard work, your resources, and your expertise. And that's how it should be! If you're still operating at the CCS cap, you're working below minimum wage—and that's not sustainable. The Importance of Emergency Funds Imagine you had to close for a week—could you afford it? Having an emergency fund means you can take time off without stress. Even setting aside one day's pay per season can make a difference. Why You Need Income Protection & Disability Insurance This is the one thing I want you to take action on today. Pick up the phone and call your super company. Make sure you have income protection and total permanent disability insurance. It's a small cost now but could be life-changing if you ever need it. How Clear Policies Can Save You From Stress If you're still accepting payments from families yourself, you NEED a strict policy in place. No more chasing unpaid fees! If a family won't pay now, they won't pay later. Have a clear payment policy, enforce it, and protect yourself from financial loss. The Power of Community & Self-Care Your support network matters. Whether it's fellow educators, a professional mentor, or a trusted friend, having people to lean on can make all the difference. And don't forget to look after yourself! Regular self-care (yes, even in the chaos!) helps you think clearly, problem-solve effectively, and avoid burnout. 5 Ways to Protect Yourself & Your Business Charge your worth – Your work is valuable, and you deserve to be paid fairly. Build a financial buffer – Start small, but start today. Sort out your insurance – It's not a “nice-to-have”, it's a must. Set clear policies & enforce them – Stop letting unpaid fees drain your income. Lean on your community – Support makes all the difference. A Few Final Thoughts: Tough times will come—that's life. But with the right financial, practical, and emotional safety nets, you can navigate challenges without spiralling into stress. Your challenge this week: Call your super company. Check your insurance cover and make sure you're protected. This is one small step that could make a huge impact on your future. Let's Keep the Conversation Going: Did this episode hit home for you? What's one thing you're going to change in your family day care business to be better prepared? Send me a message or leave a comment—I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for spending this time with me today. Let's continue to advocate for slow, intentional, and heart-centred education. Speak soon!

The tea is spilling over! I brought two of my very close MBA friends to share more intern-at-28 stories. We're getting real about career expectations and comparing ourselves to others. PLUS, I really put them to the test as we play a game to test whether money really buys happiness - will they choose financial stability over creative passion? And of course, we're spilling the MBA tea—was it worth it, what surprised us, and why does it sometimes feel like high school all over again?

She lives in Langley, BC, with her husband, two daughters, and two dogs—embracing both the chaos and the love that come with it.

CAREGIVER CURVEBALLS PREPPING FOR THE UNEXPECTED Episode 259Ever feel like caregiving is less a smooth glide and more a wild rollercoaster?

One of the things we say time and time again is that the “perfection infection” happens when we compare our insides to other people's outsides. When we do this, we often come up with inaccurate conclusions about ourselves AND others.Falling into the trap of the perfection infection is especially easy when you're on social media. Not only are your favorite influencers putting the best parts of their lives on public display, but all your friends and family are often doing the same. It's natural to want to highlight happy moments, but constantly scrolling through everyone's best bits can sometimes make you feel like you're not measuring up.This is one of the reasons why we share so honestly and openly about the real stuff in our lives…even when that stuff is ugly, hard, or imperfect.Our guests today can certainly relate to this sentiment. Rebecca St. James and her husband, Cubbie Fink, illuminate the heartaches and triumphs that have shaped their story as a married couple, as parents, as musicians, and—most of all—as Jesus followers in their first co-authored book, Lasting Ever.In this episode, you'll hear:How authenticity shows both the highs and the lows of lifeWhere to find security in who we areWhat to do when you are going through a dark seasonAnd so much more…We so enjoyed having Rebecca and Cubbie share their story and we hope it helps to take some of the perfection infection's weight off your shoulders today.Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/rebecca-st-james-235Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

The last five years have been one adventure or crisis after another. The only things that have stayed consistent have been her faith in Jesus, her marriage to a great guy, her four cool kids, and IF. She has fasted daily since October 28th, 2019, through all the following.   Homeschooling four children, three of them through high school. Teaching art classes as art director of drama productions for four plays in which the three older children were actively involved with set design and prominent speaking roles. Organizing and speaking at ladies' conferences two times a year. The husband has several job changes, one with a lengthy commute.   COVID need to say anymore?  Youngest daughter loses the ability to use her legs intermittently for about a year, which involved lots of specialists with super scary treatment plans.   The oldest daughter has severe vitamin D deficiency, losing all of her hair and experiencing severe exhaustion during school, work and soccer.  Mother-in-law broke her hip twice and is diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, which involved her having a brain tumour removed and subsequent radiation and chemotherapy. Two of her daughters-in-law shared her care, one of whom was Juliette.  Oldest son captains in two varsity sports , football and wrestling, made for year-round hectic sports schedules.  The same son gets a severe concussion, making him unable to work or go to school for several months. There was a personality change for a time, which was terrifying.   Husband had five surgeries on his eyes, two of which were emergencies and weren't guaranteed to save his eyesight as the optical nerve was damaged.   Starts working at Kohl's 3 days a week just to get out of the house and see people.  Family takes an epic road trip across the country to see the Colorado Rockies.  The oldest child has a cyst on her spine, which creates such excruciating agony that her pain can't be managed from home. Lots of MRIs and specialists and no real answers until… leukemia diagnosis.  Daughter starts her 2-3 year treatment plan for leukemia and all the hard stuff that comes with that.  Juliette begins running and training for 5K races, a sprint triathlon, a half marathon and her favourite, obstacle course runs.   Just before this podcast, her closest friend of 20 years was diagnosed with a stage four brain tumour.   Perimenopause ramps up, making for an unusually cranky mom and wife on occasion.   Celebrating 26 years of marriage in June!  How did she stay so disciplined with IF through all of this? It is because she never could have done 90% of those things prior to IF. She was so ill with a host of issues (see episodes 40 and 185 for her full IF story) that she was often bedridden and in a wheelchair. IF gave her the fuel and health to thrive amid all these crazy hardships and adventures.  It can do the same for you. She wants to Remember not to let your current circumstances keep you from “seizing the day” wherever you are treading water in your life.

Hey hey, my friend! I've got a bit of a personal one for you today, and honestly, I wasn't sure if I'd even have time to sit down and record this, but here I am, because I think that this message is so important.   So, life threw my family a major curveball recently. My husband— God bless him—tore his Achilles last week, and let me tell you, the recovery for that is no joke. I'm officially wearing ALL the hats right now: nurse, mom, wife, all around holiday magic maker, and oh yeah, business owner of 2 Etsy shops, a podcast, and Etsy Coach. It's A LOT, especially during the holiday season, but here's the thing—it's also a reminder of why I am SO grateful for this business model I've built with Etsy and digital products.   Today, I want to talk about why passive income is an absolute game-changer, especially when life doesn't go according to plan. Whether it's taking a break for something like a vacation, for the holidays, or, in my case, stepping away to care for a family member on TOP of the holiday season, having a business that works for YOU —even when you're not actively working—is such a gift.   xo, Jacqueline   | LEARN FROM ME | Etsy Profits PRO - Course + Coaching Program www.jacqueline-butler.com/etsyprofitspro    | OTHER STEPS | Join My Email List & Get a FREEBIE! www.jacqueline-butler.com/freeguide  FREE Masterclass: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freemasterclass  FREE 5-Step Starter Guide: www.jacqueline-butler.com/starterguide  FREE Facebook Community: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freegroup  Website: www.jacqueline-butler.com  Get In Touch: jb@jacqueline-butler.com  Instagram: www.instagram.com/jacquelinebutler.co
