This week, Jackie Cummings Koski, author of "F.I.R.E. For Dummies," sits down with us to share her personal experience and offer some wisdom for anyone, no matter how late they are in the game, to begin building their financial future.

As a Black, divorced, single mom who retired with $1.3 million at age 49, Jackie's got the receipts and the real talk about what it looks like to navigate personal finances when your story is a little more complicated than the usual "quit your job, sail the world" narrative. Jackie's story is one of resilience, of taking on the challenge of reaching back to help your family when you're the first one to make it, and even more importantly, it's a story of recognizing that you have time on your side, even when you are a late starter.We discuss: The Great Un-Representation: Why the financial world needs more diverse voices, and especially more Black women, in the conversation.From "F.I.R.E. For Dummies" to Family Dinners: How the psychological aspects of money shape our choices, and why helping those closest to you often means reaching back instead of up.The Truth About Social Security: Jackie breaks down the reality of Social Security for early retirees (spoiler alert: it's a powerful backup, but don't expect it to be a cash cow).Beyond the Numbers: Living a life of purpose and leaving a meaningful legacy can be more important than just the final dollar figure.Is the 4% Rule a Myth?: Jackie shares her experiences with the 4% rule and how it can be adapted to your own circumstances and goals.Links:Get Jackie's book F.I.R.E.

From an early age, our guest Carlene Sullivan had developed a pristine spiritual attunement and her wisdom on today's episode showcases the results of a lifetime spent honing that ability. Though spiritual in nature, this episode nonetheless draws valid conclusions through observation of patterns in our everyday lives. For instance, if we were to all view the same pen, would we not have independent thoughts associated with it? What natural behaviors in animals could characterize us also? Or that we can take control of techniques like manifestation and vision-boarding, treating them not powers above us but ones we are above. This wisdom and more is the essence of today's episode. Find Carlene online https://www.carlenesullivan.com/ Find us online https://impactfulcoachingpodcast.com/ Show Notes: 2:31 Joseph informs the nature of today's episode is one about intuition and spirituality, he then asks what Carlene does on a daily basis. Before delving into the response Carlene makes a point about the difficulty in being able to fully articulate her role within the confines of language. 7:05 Joseph reflects on the “For Dummies” series and the humility it offers compared to other literature out there and asks Carlene if any literature had aligned to her role. 12:03 Carlene notices the phrase “I know” said by people she works with, for even the most basic of suggestions. And yet despite what we know there are still vast barriers keeping us from being able to actualize that knowledge. 16:11 Joseph reflects on where some of his generation's anxieties stem from, particularly that our array of skills pale in comparison to skills that more reflect the human experience like hunting or building a log cabin. He asks Carlene to reflect on what anxieties she's seen based on generational experience. 22:27 Carlene asks Joseph to visualize what a dog does when it gets out of water, and how that specific behavior is tied to its instincts and judgment. 28:36 Carlene relates the story of our evolution from the stubborn neanderthals and that so few of our ancestors carried the weight of what is now our human race. it stands to reason that the same is happening to use again now. 35:00 There is an immutable truth to the trajectory of our growth, Carlene emphasizes this by pointing out, quite logically, that a seed becomes a plant not a zebra. 40:33 Joseph, while being mostly passive this episode, shares an insight that has stemmed from hearing Carlene's words of wisdom and posits that we have been the machines all along, we were practically cogs during the industrial revolution. 46:21 Joseph thinks about the infamous Charlie Chaplain story where he won 3rd place in a competition to see who could be the Charlie Chaplain. Joseph brings this up because it reminds him of our unique imprint and how that imprint changes moment to moment, what others recall of us is always in the past. 51:51 Carlene and Joseph discuss the premise of humanity's evolution ten thousand years from now, what will we become?
If you're a listener of my original boundaries podcast, Beyond Bitchy, first I want to thank you for being a listener and second, I want to give you the backstory about Boundaries Queen. In the summer of 2023, I received an unsolicited email from the publisher of the “For Dummies” series asking me if I'd like to write a Dummies® book about personal boundaries. The opportunity to share what I've learned about boundaries with an even wider audience was irresistible, and my new book, Personal Boundaries For Dummies, will be released on May 7, 2024! Contrary to popular opinion, healthy, effective boundaries aren't “mean” or “harsh.” Instead, they create space and freedom—in the same way that building a fence allows you to experience your backyard in peace and privacy. If you're skeptical about the need for good boundaries, ask yourself this: what would a world without boundaries look like? How would you function without walls, schedules, deadlines, arrival or departure times, standards, or laws? Tune in to this first episode of the new show to learn how to create peace, protection, and connection by identifying, creating, and maintaining healthy, effective boundaries. I'm thrilled that you're here, and I look forward to continuing this journey together into an even deeper appreciation and understanding of boundaries. Biggest Takeaways From Episode #1: You probably fall into one of three categories: you've recently realized that boundaries are “a thing,” or you have a pretty good grasp of boundaries but know you have more to learn, or you're a counselor or coach working with clients who need solid information about boundaries but have struggled to find a good resource. Boundaries are a skill just like learning to ride a bicycle. You can learn the principles here, then take them out into the world to practice and experiment with what you've learned. I hope you'll go out there and make a lot of mistakes! That's the way you learn. As you start or improve your boundary work, you'll encounter pushback and resistance. This is completely normal, so know that it's actually a good thing—a sign that you're doing something different. Highlights from Episode #1: Welcome to the very first episode of the Boundaries Queen Podcast! This episode will orient you to the new show and help you get started with boundaries. [00:31] Victoria talks about how orienting calms the nervous system, using the example of finding the perfect spot to sit in a restaurant. [01:18] We hear about Victoria's thoughts on ending the Beyond Bitchy podcast, and what's happened since then that led to the launching of Boundaries Quuen. [03:03] Victoria talks about her new book and shares her love for helping people understand how boundaries work. She also explains the backstory for the name of this podcast. [06:43] Let's talk about you and your boundaries! [09:47] Victoria shares some important facts about boundaries. [11:48] Boundaries give you space, freedom, and peace. [14:11] What exactly are boundaries? To illustrate the answer, Victoria explores the most fundamental ways that boundaries operate in your life. [15:51] We hear a short list of the benefits of boundaries (a topic Victoria will address in detail in future episodes). [18:29] Are you listening to this episode before May 7, 2024? If so, you can still take advantage of the preorder bonuses Victoria is offering for Personal Boundaries For Dummies.

What does your Linkedin profile say about you and your organization? Using Linkedin to project your personal brand Episode 193 (Donna is based in Pennsylvania) In this conversation with Donna Serdula we explore: What can executive leader gain from enhancing their Linkedin Profile Why Linkedin is more than a job board Why leaders should help their employees enhance their profiles How to clarify the purpose of your Linkedin presence Is your profile current or ancient history? Who are you and what do you stand for? Why your profile must not look like a resume even if you are searching Why the company might help their staff look better on Linkedin About our guest Donna Serdula: Donna wrote a "For Dummies" book on the topic of Linkedin profiles. She started her business in 2009 and has since branded over 8,000 executives, entrepreneurs and professionals on Linkedin and beyond. Review and upgrade your Linkedin profile by visiting https://www.linkedin-makeover.com/order-today/ ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Donna Serdula: The LinkedIn profile, it's not the resume. It's a digital introduction. It's a first impression, it is your manifesto. ----- If you want to be a thought leader, if you really want to dominate the platform, you want to post more than less, but at the same time, you can truly engage with your network and get seen by posting once a week. It's not so much the quantity as much as it's the quality. ----- LinkedIn wants fresh profiles showing up active people, people who have something to say. So by making sure that your profile is up to date, it would be more apt to show up in the search results, versus one that hasn't been touched in six months, right. When you think of it like that, it makes sense. Keep your profile fresh, you're going to do better in search results. ----- How do you decide when you connect versus simply let them follow? Oh, that's a great question because there is a difference right? connection versus a Follow Follow is one one way street. It's you saying, hey, I want to subscribe to that person's updates. Whereas when you connect, it's saying, Hey, I know this person, I like I trust this person. And not only am I subscribing to them, but they're going to subscribe to me, and they're going to be in my network, they're grew to become first degree connections, and all of their connections are going to become second degree connections, and all of those connections, connections are going to become third degree connections. So it really does extend your reach when you connect, when that's a good thing. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more.

For anyone who missed the 93rd Academy Awards earlier this month, Krista leads off with a masterpiece that deserved to be on the short list to win Best Documentary Short Film. In a pleasant twist from revealing the shortcomings of employees at Muddy Waters, we learn that Krista is proficient with sign language. Many find such a skill worthy of celebration, but we come to find out it was Krista's interpretation of Freddy's learner's permit that led him to believe he had earned his driver's license. With the not-so-sudden downfall of Credit Saudi, Carson laments the final ZFG segment of Credit Suisse First Loss. While the crew revels in the downfall of Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), Freddy confesses to making a shameless plea to SVB by detailing another one of his business ideas. Not to be outdone, Carson goes on to share his learnings from the weekend – a glorious and infamous creature popularly known as the Cheetard. And as a parting gift from the esquire himself, Carson provides a few excerpts from an old book he co-authored on ‘Doing Business in China'… For Dummies.

To improve quality of life for as many people as possible, the places to start are cities.

Veram durvis uz Apgaismības laikmeta "smagsvara" Gotharda Fridriha Stendera bagātīgo mantojumu. Pievēršamies Vecā Stendera devumam latviešu literatūrā un valodniecībā. Šonedēļ par Stendera dzeju un ziņģēm, "Augstas gudrības grāmatu" un "Bildu ābici", pasakām un stāstiem. Šonedēļ iesāksim stāstu par vienu no ietekmīgākajām Apgaismības laikmeta personībām latviešu kultūrā: Gothardu Frīdrihu Stenderu. To pašu Veco Stenderu, kurš uz savas kapa plāksnes lika iegravēt parakstu “Latvis”. Nācis no Kurzemes vācu izcelsmes mācītāju dzimtas 15 paaudzēs, Vecais Stenders bija ne vien baznīckungs, bet arī rakstnieks un valodnieks ar lielu interesi par latviešu valodu un dedzīgu misijas apziņu – izglītot latviešu zemniekus. Viņa daudzpusīgo devumu atklāsim divu raidījumu sērijā. Šonedēļ – par Stenderu kā latviešu laicīgās daiļliteratūras pamatlicēju. Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas Reto grāmatu un rokrakstu nodaļā tikšanās un saruna ar trim erudītiem pētniekiem: literatūrzinātniekiem Māru Gruduli un Paulu Daiju un folkloras pētnieku Gunti Pakalnu. Stendera grāmatas mūsu priekšā tiek izpakotas katra no savas baltas kartona kastītes. Latvijas Universitātes profesore Māra Grudule daudz pētījusi latviešu senāko laiku literatūru un pēc Stendera 300-gades 2014.gadā sastādījusi kolektīvo monogrāfiju "Gothards Frīdrihs Stenders un apgaismība Baltijā Eiropas kontekstā". "Es domāju, ka šī monogrāfija arī ir atbilde, kāpēc par Stenderu ir vajadzīgi divi raidījumi! Stenders ir ļoti daudzpusīgs, noteikti būtu gana daudz tēmu arī trešajam raidījumam, jo viņš rakstīja ne tikai latviski, bet arī citās valodās," vērtē Māra Grudule. "Viņa vāciski rakstītais arī ir ļoti interesants un dažā ziņā novatorisks tā laika Eiropas tehniskās apgaismības kontekstā. Piemēram, ja runājam par viņa aprakstu par veļasmašīnu. Bet latviešu literatūrā viņam ir īpaša loma, jo viņu uzskata par laicīgās literatūras aizsācēju. Viņš ir pirmais, kurš devis latviešiem pasakas un stāstus vai precīzāk – fabulas dzejā un prozā; pirmo populārzinātnisko grāmatu, ko mēdz dēvēt arī par “zemnieku enciklopēdiju”, proti – “Augstas gudrības grāmatu”; ilustrētu ābeci un, protams, virkni ziņģu, ar laicīgajām dziesmām papildinot latviešu zemnieku repertuāru. Ir vēl daudz kas jauns un interesants. Viņš aicina baudīt grāmatu ne tikai kā kristīgās pasaules daļu, bet arī grāmatu kā informācijas avotu un izklaidi." Stenderu dzimta Kurzemē ieceļoja jau 16. gadsimtā, un Gothards Frīdrihs Stenders latviešu valodu un zemniekus pazina jau no bērnības. Kā vairums Baltijas vācu jaunekļu, viņš vēlāk devās studēt uz Vāciju, vēlāk jau kā četrdesmitgadnieks piecus gadus dzīvoja Vācijā, Dānijā un Krievijā. Iespējams, tieši šo gadu pieredze vēlāk rosināja Stenderu paplašināt savu apgaismības misiju arī caur literatūru. Par to, cik apbrīnojami Stenders izjutis latviešu valodu, savulaik intervijā Latvijas Radio 3 “Klasika” kolēģei Intai Pīrāgai jūsmoja arī diriģents un senās mūzikas pētnieks Māris Kupčs. Par godu Stendera 300 gadu jubilejai viņš ar kori un orķestri atskaņoja vācu baroka komponista Kārļa Heinriha Grauna oratorijas “Jēzus nāve” fragmentus ar Vecā Stendera atdzejojumu latviešu valodā. Gotharda Frīdriha Stendera atdzejojumu un oriģināldzejas krājumu ar zinātniskiem komentāriem 2000.gadu sākumā izdeva apgāds “Zvaigzne ABC”, un tajā redzamais dzejnieku saraksts, kuru darbus Stenders tulkoja latviski, vēlreiz apliecina viņa augstos standartus dzejas atlasē, saka Pauls Daija. Un būtiski, ka Stendera darbs latviešu literatūrā guva lielu popularitāti jau viņa paša dzīves laikā. Lasītāju netrūka, jo, kā stāsta Pauls Daija, Stendera dzīves nogalē 18.gadsimta beigās Vidzemē lasīt prata jau divas trešdaļas iedzīvotāju un Kurzemē – viena trešdaļa, kas tolaik bija augstākie rādītāji visā Krievijas impērijā. Līdzās ziņģēm Gothards Frīdrihs Stenders šodienas lasītājam vislabāk pazīstams ar savu paša ilustrēto “Bildu ābici”, kas ļoti atšķīrās no agrākām lasīt mācības metodēm ar apgaismībai raksturīgo uzskatu, ka skolai ir jāsagādā prieks un mācībām ir jābūt tuvākām bērna uztverei. Līdzīgi ir arī ar Stendera slavenāko darbu – “Augstas gudrības grāmatu no pasaules un dabas”, ko vēsturnieks Gvido Straube reiz trāpīgi salīdzināja ar 20.gadsimtā populāro grāmatu sēriju angļu valodā “For Dummies” jeb “iesācējiem”. Stenders prata runāt ar lasītāju vienkārši un aizrautīgi, vienlaikus izglītojot par dabaszinātnēm, ģeogrāfiju un pat astronomiju. Bet ar to viņa devums nebeidzas: Vecais Stenders ir uzskatāms arī pirmās pasaku grāmatas autoru latviešu literatūrā. Vairāk par projektu:
Food prices rose 13% in 2022. Yet American's waste about $218 billion of food the U.S. and food is the single largest component taking up space inside of our landfills. RDN Rosanne Rust offers practical ways to reduce food waste in the home to save money and help the environment. A prolific writer, she's published eight books, including several in the popular For Dummies® series, including her latest include Zero Waste Cooking For Dummies® (Jan 2022, John Wiley & Sons), and the 2nd edition of DASH Diet For Dummies® (November 2020). Rosanne believe's there's more than one way to consume a healthy diet. "We understand the big picture, including human physiology, human nutrition, and food science. We take behavior into account and understand how to help people make changes that they can accept. We also understand how to evaluate the evidence and put diet into perspective for overall health. People come up with strict rules. They hear so many soundbites of misinformation (like "sugar is toxic", "carbs are killing you", "organic is best". This all-or-nothing approach is affecting the mental health of many people who may feel they are failing because they aren't reaching some unrealistic goal. At a time when food budgets (and all budgets) are tightening, we need to take this fear away. And also help those who HAVE a choice (to shop at fancy food stores) to understand that demonizing the rest (with no evidence of inferiority) is detrimental to everyone." Rosanne received her bachelor's degree in Dietetics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and her M.S. in Nutrition from the University of Pittsburgh. Owner of Rust Nutrition Services, she provides a variety of nutrition communication services. Her philosophy has always been to take a fad-free, doable approach to healthy eating, in order to help people put food and nutrition into perspective and set realistic health goals.

If there's 1 diet that continues to stand the test of time when it comes to heart and metabolic health it's the Mediterranean Diet. While anti-carb diets, diets paired with psychology, and intermittent fasting come and go (they're going soon right?), the Mediterranean Diet still holds its own in the health-related scientific literature. A search in PubMed brings up 1865 different research studies on the Mediterranean diet since it first rose to popularity 30 plus years ago. But what happens when our Thinness-wellness-obsessed culture grabs on to this traditional lifestyle and tries to make it the diet to end all dieting? Fellow non-diet dietitian Wendy Jo Peterson RDN has been a culinary dietitian, educator, and author for over 20 years. One of her many cookbooks for the For Dummies book series, Mediterranean Cooking for Dummies, aims to make the Mediterranean lifestyle and flavors accessible to anyone, anywhere without the added pressure to "get the diet right" as is the case with so many other diets. Listen to hear Wendy Jo's thoughts on how the diet culture lens has influenced her career and how she's evolved as an author, dietitian, and mother in spite of diet culture. Why so many food and health-related topics are now under the guise of diet culture and have been hijacked over the years - from healthy eating to clean eating. The difference in the relationships people have with food, health, and their bodies living in Europe vs living in the US. Finally how Wendy Jo navigates raising a 6-year-old daughter while steering clear of diet culture messaging at school and among friends and family. Like what you hear?

On Episode 12 of Yoga Revolution, despite a few connection issues along the way, Jivana and De Jur Jones share a moving conversation about teaching yoga in prisons, trauma-informed yoga, generational trauma, and yoga service. A yoga devotee since 2001, De Jur attended Loyola Marymount University's Yoga Therapy program and teaches a therapeutic style of yoga suitable for most students. Along with having taught countless mainstream classes, De Jur offers programs to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people, unhoused populations, mentally challenged seniors, foster youth, those in recovery, human trafficking victims/survivors, and staff who serve all these groups. De Jur is a contributor to the Yoga Service Council's best practices book series “Best Practices for Yoga in the Criminal Justice System," an Accessible Yoga Ambassador, and a featured model in “Accessible Yoga, Poses and Practices for Every Body”, “Yoga After 50 For Dummies," and "Embodied Resilience through Yoga: 30 Mindful Essays. De Jur co-chaired at the 2019 International Association of Yoga Therapists Conference and moonlights as a flight attendant. From prison lockdowns to class cancellations to navigating endless streams of bureaucratic red tape, De Jur offers a glimpse into the various difficulties she encounters teaching in prisons, as well as how problematic the (in)justice system is, particularly for folks of color. She also offers pointers around shifting language to be more inclusive and equitable (as well as her hilarious, yet useful phrase and practice of “third eye rolling”).

Several years ago, Christine's husband Pat literally wrote the book on fasting, the For Dummies book to be specific. At the time, Christine and Pat adhered to intermittent fasting on a regular basis but purely for physiological reasons. The research behind fasting is nearly unanimous in terms of fat loss and overall health. But since their conversation to Catholicism, fasting took on all new meaning and substance. The spiritual underpinnings of this ancient practice are rich and quite beautiful. So in this episode of The Catholic Mama podcast, Pat and Christine dive into the theology of fasting: The Catholic foundation for this practice, why we should be fasting in our modern age, and practical guidelines on how to get started.
