It’s easy to make excuses that we’re too young or too old or don’t know what to do next. As leaders, we often need to simply step out and take action. The founders of Big and Mini (Aditi Merchant, Allen and Anthony Zhou) teach us to work through dull tasks, persist in spreading our ideas, and believe in our mission enough to keep going. Founded in early April 2020 by 3 teenagers in Texas, Big & Mini is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to combat social isolation and bridge the generation gap by connecting youth and seniors through video calls. This organization has more than 300 volunteers from 37 states and features in The Houston Chronicle, MSN, and SoulPancake. They’ve been awarded the Blackstone Summer Startup Fellowship and have partnered with several aging and youth organizations, including the Texas Aging and Longevity Center and Aging Well. Going forward, they hope to further expand their platform to include more seniors in care homes and begin the implementation of local chapters to increase the sense of community within Big & Mini.

On this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast, Kimi talks about turning 2019’s setbacks into a success strategy for 2020. Looking back at what happened in 2019 and thinking about the progress you made – or didn’t make – towards your goals is only half of the process. Here are the 5 ways that Kimi recommends you move forward in 2020: 1. State your setbacks – Be honest and transparent with yourself about what got in your way this year, but don’t dwell on these setbacks. Claim the goals you had set for the year but didn’t quite reach because it is important to keep these in mind as you plan for next year. 2. See the value in the experience – Reflect and really try to glean everything you can from the lessons you learned through the ups and downs of 2019. Be thankful for the things that happened and analyze the reasons why, allowing yourself to let certain things go. 3. Step out of your comfort zone – As was discussed in the previous episode of the podcast, it is likely that some of your unmet goals were the result of avoiding change. Next year, be prepared to do things differently and take steps towards where you want to be, even if they are micro-steps. 4. Select your alternatives – Take some time to define what exactly is going to be different, whether it means modifying or intensifying your process, streamlining, or outsourcing. Recognize that the way you have been doing things hasn’t been getting you the results you want, and you do not have to do it all alone. Coaches and accountability groups are a great resource as well. 5. Set small goals – If you have a big goal, it can be intimidating to wake up every morning thinking about how big the goal really is. It is much easier to break down the goal into smaller, shorter-term goals that are much more attainable from day-to-day and week-to-week. Setting smaller goals helps keep your motivation up and makes it easier to be consistent in your pursuit of the small and big goals. Celebrating these smaller milestones along the way builds your momentum on the way to achieving your big goal. Topics Covered in this Episode: • Taking action on lessons learned • Stepping out of your comfort zone • Setting smaller goals to gradually work towards a bigger goal • Deciding how things will be different from now on Connect with Kimi: http://www.kimiwalker.com/ https://web.facebook.com/kimiwalker https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimiwalker https://www.youtube.com/user/KimiFitWell
In this Episode: Taking inventory on the people around you Deciding where you want to level up in your life Expanding your inner circle Growing into the person you’re meant to be At a conference I attended recently, I heard a quote from speaker Trent Shelton, “if you don’t have friends who clap when you win, you don’t have a circle, you have a cage.” Wow, talk about a MIC DROP. Because truthfully, that is SUCH a powerful statement, and it got me thinking about how as much as society likes to focus on the people who naysay or the haters, we also have to realize that if we’re spending our time with people who ONLY clap for you, you’re also not going to GROW. In today’s episode I wanted to share 3 simple & tangible tips for finding that balance between people who clap for us but give us feedback or inspire us and also people that don’t get us so that we can learn & build up our confidence. I really think this is going to resonate with you & I can’t wait to hear what you think girl! Quotes: “If you wanna uplevel in any part of your life, it's really important to be intentional about those people that are around you constantly who are really damn comfortable being comfortable.” “You might need someone who’s doing more than you in an area in your life that you want to excel more at.” “It’s difficult to BE what you can’t SEE.” “Your physical environment is hugely impactful on how you show up in this world.” “You owe it to yourself to think bigger, to live bigger. To live a life that you are so freaking obsessed with and you owe it to the people who are going to be inspired by watching you.” Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?

On Today’s Episode Taking back control and changing the conversation around food Trusting your body and finding your natural set point How eating more and working out less could actually make you feel better Destroying the social stigma connecting low weight and self-worth Customizing the fitness experience in a way that fits your lifestyle Quotes “Most women think they are doing good things. You know, this is what they need to be doing, this is what they, “should” be doing, and they spend the majority of their lives trying to accomplish this and feeling like a failure when they cannot maintain it. So we are just giving people the freedom to eat again, the freedom to eat in a way that is right for them” (7:28) “Our society is so terrified of gaining weight that we would rather starve and starve and restrict and restrict ourselves and keep running, we’re like running from something we can’t escape. The more and more you try and lose weight, often the harder and harder it gets.” (14:42) “If you pay attention to how you react to things and are really intentional in how you are responding to that, then you are working with your body, right, and you can experiment with different things and take care of symptoms as they come up and all of a sudden you realize that the things you thought you always had to live with you actually maybe don’t. You can maybe play with them a little bit and you can help them. And you also don’t have to live in this like psychological warfare mentality you have against your body because it really can be more like you are just friends in a field of daisies or something.” (34:52) “You are not a bad person and you don't deserve to be punished and your world isn't going to end if you did something that you think puts you in caloric excess. You just have to keep focusing on what your goals are. And for us, goals mean physical and psychological health first and foremost.” (54:51) Resources Mentioned In This Show Join the Fierce Love Collective For Ongoing Support, Community, and Kick-Ass Content Well Fed Women Podcast Coconuts and Kettlebells Website Coconuts and Kettlebells The Book Paleo For Women Strong From Home Workout Programme Sexy by Nature Book Follow Noelle on Instagram Follow Stefani on Instagram Check out the full show notes here!

Summary:On this episode of Taking a Walk with Resiliency, Ashley talks listeners through some of the implications of our culture of instant gratification and not being willing to let the grief process run its natural course. There is an element of narcissism in this “emotional drive-thru” culture that permeates social media – and consequently society as a whole – where it is assumed that all people grieve like you grieve and everyone should be able to quickly get over their loss and get back to engaging with their friends’ statuses. This expectation is not fair and it creates an unhealthy system of emotional processing, especially for an emotion as deep and painful as grief. Far be it from us to judge how others handle their grief or to project our own opinions of how they should be behaving in the aftermath of the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, a dream, or anything deeply personal. Everyone grieves differently, and the most important thing is for us to empathize with their pain and support them as they work through their process. Pointing out to someone who has just experienced a loss that death is a part of life is not helpful at all, and could even be hurtful. However, this inevitability can be helpful for you to recognize and comprehend as you consider how you are living. Are you taking things or people for granted? How do you want to be remembered? How could you have a bigger impact? What do you need to say to those who mean so much to you? What do they need to hear?Topics Covered in this Episode:•Taking your life back•“Emotional drive-thrus”•Grief and loss•Natural process of grieving•Showing empathy and understanding for others•Being mindful of what you say•Intentionally living every momentKey Quotes:•“Everyone deserves a ‘hello’ and a ‘goodbye.’”•“We live in a world full of instant gratification.”•“The reality is: when you lose someone you love, there is going to be a natural process for healing.”•“Pain is pain.”•“Everybody experiences life in their own way.”•“Death in and of itself means that what once was no longer is.”•“Death does not feel natural.”•“Love and pride do not fit in the same sentence.”•“Stop sweating the small stuff.”Connect with us:https://doveriverconsulting.com/our-podcast-series https://www.spreaker.com/show/taking-a-walk-with-resiliency
