On this episode of This Is Woman's Work, we tackle fear and rejection—how to face it, move through it, and ultimately conquer it. Why? Because everything we want is on the other side of fear, and building bridges to cross it is essential for growth and fulfillment. I'm joined by Jodi Wellman, a former corporate executive turned executive coach, with a Master's in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Jodi teaches in the Master's program at Penn and is a trainer for the Penn Resilience Program. She is also the author of You Only Die Once, has a thought-provoking TEDx Talk on using the reality of death to inspire life, and leads Four Thousand Mondays, dedicated to ensuring people live life fully and without regret. In this conversation, we'll explore why letting go of fear, the weight of others' opinions, and the risk of rejection leads to more fulfilled living. Regret, we agree, is far scarier than failure. The truth is, we regret the things we don't do more than the things we try and fail at. There's a quote I love that says something like: when I stand before God I want to be able to say I used all the gifts I was given, I have not a bit of talent or love left, I used it all up. It's a powerful reminder to live boldly, love deeply, and give generously.

Life's brevity is its greatest gift, reminding us to savor each moment and live with intention. Jodi Wellman, founder of 4000 Mondays, inspires us to embrace the finite nature of life as a tool for living boldly and purposefully. Drawing from her expertise as a positive psychology practitioner, Jodi shares how practicing gratitude, savoring everyday experiences, and creating meaningful routines can transform how we experience time. She challenges us to use the awareness of our limited Mondays not to stress but to prioritize joy, connection, and the things that truly matter. Key Highlights: Use "mortality math" to heighten your awareness of time and create urgency to pursue meaningful goals. Shake up routines with novelty to add vibrancy and excitement to everyday life. Gratitude letters are a powerful way to deepen relationships and enhance personal well-being. Savoring the mundane—like enjoying a favorite drink or completing a simple chore—can provide surprising joy and fulfillment. Boldness and intentionality are essential for living a life that feels complete and regret-free.   About the Guest:  Jodi Wellman is a speaker, author, and facilitator on living lives worth living.

Today's guest is a self-described “Grim Reaper's cheerleader” and author of You Only Die Once. In this episode, we explore a fascinating approach to breaking out of autopilot: counting how many Mondays you have left to live. With a blend of humor and urgency, Jodi Wellman challenges us to think differently about mortality and how it impacts our choices, passions, and the way we live each day. Our host, Gabe Howard, calculates his own remaining Mondays, where he's hit with the reality of limited time. This sparks a conversation about how the knowledge of a final “deadline” can help us seize the moment. Jodi reveals how facing our own mortality — without an existential crisis — can motivate us to act on our dreams and live with intention. With insights from positive psychology and a unique perspective on life's ultimate countdown, this episode will change how you look at the life you have left. “It is not remembering we're going to die so that we can just be dour and have a really morbid conversation and talk about how well that sucks. I grew up and my mom had a button that she wore on her lapel, like on her acid-washed jacket. Like, life sucks and then you die. We're not talking like that. No, this is about remembering that you're temporary so that it does help you to refine what your priorities are, to feel a little bit more of that sense again, or maybe that intensity and urgency.” ~Jodi Wellman, MAPP To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the official episode page.

Thoughts on the episode? Let us know.Let's get started because we don't have a lot of time.At least that's the perspective of today's guest, Jodi Wellman. Jodi is an executive coach and speaker, and the author of You Only Die Once. And she's a big fan of Memento mori, Latin for "remember that you will die."Acknowledging the scarcity of our time, she insists, can help us make the most of the time that we have.And it doesn't have to be morbid. It can be fun. Jodi keeps skulls as decorations, and they're surprisingly cheerful-lookingRemembering that we don't have infinite time and infinite opportunities can provide a much needed push when we're stuck. So we can live the life we want, rather than waiting and rationalizing and looking back with regret at the end.In our conversation, I get free coaching on making some bold moves in my life.We talk about my fear of "indulging," even a little — that it will turn into a one-way highway to depravity — and how I might explore some balance between self-indulgence and Puritanical austerity. In summation: "Life is short. We gotta get on with this shit."Click to subscribe to the Mindset Mastery Memo.Support the show

A few weeks the NewYork Times published an article, written by Emily Labor-Warren, that examined the practice of conducting something called a life review.    It was in the article that host Michael Azevedo learned about the life and work of Jodi Wellman, his guest on this episode of Making Media Now.   The Times' article begins by laying out a bit of Jodi's story: Jodi Wellman was devastated when her mother died of a heart attack at age 58. Cleaning out her apartment made her feel even worse. Drawers and closets overflowed with abandoned projects: unpublished manuscripts and business cards for ventures that had never gotten started.   At the time, Jodi was in her early 30s, living in Chicago and working her way up the corporate rungs at a fitness club chain. But, over the course of five years, that work began to feel empty. Determined not to stagnate like her mother, Jodi quit her job to become an executive coach, eventually entering a master's degree program in positive psychology. There, she developed a strategy for living fully: Think about death, a lot. Now also a speaker and the author of “You Only Die Once,” Jodi believes that focusing on how short life is makes you less likely to squander it.  To help her clients figure out how to spend their limited time, she asks them dozens of questions, organized by life phase — things like what activities made them happiest as a child, and what they would change about their 40s and 50s. Her approach is a twist on the practice of conducting a “life review,” where people systematically reflect on their past, through conversations or in writing, to identify character strengths and develop self-awareness and acceptance. In addition to being a speaker, coach, and author, Jodi is the force behind the website Four Thousand Mondays which helps visitors vividly calculate approximately how many Mondays they have left and use that information as a catalyst to live life on purpose, inspired and totally alive. Jodi joined Michael from her home in Palm Springs, CA.  Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum.

In this episode, I sit down with Jodi Wellman, who calls herself "The Grim Reaper's Cheerleader," to dive into the deep stuff—how thinking about our own mortality can actually help us live more fully, with no regrets. Jodi breaks down her 4000 Mondays project and how we often get stuck fantasizing about our goals instead of taking real action. I also share a bit of my own journey after selling my company, where I had to rethink what really matters. We talk about the power of breaking out of our routines, why journaling can keep us on track, and how small, intentional changes can make a big impact on living a meaningful life. Some highlights we explore: The dangers of positive fantasies and how the idea of "temporal scarcity" can kick us into gear. Why shaking up your daily routines can break the autopilot mode and bring more vitality into your life. The role of reflective practices like journaling in staying true to your goals and living with purpose. And more... Enjoy!

How many Mondays have you lived, how many Mondays do you have left?  It may be a provocative or even unsettling question for some, but today's guest looks at it more as motivation over morbidity.  We speak to Jodi Wellman, author of the book, “You Only Die Once, How to Make it to the End with No Regrets,” on the topic of Making Friends with the Grim Reaper.  She discusses how taking inventory of her mother's personal items, following her death, was a catalyst for writing her book as well as for her general outlook on life.  During the episode Jodi explains how facing the inevitability of death can really help us to live in the here and now and accomplish our goals.

Following this episode, will you “count your Mondays?”   Are you really present in your life currently or do you find yourself more stuck in the routine? If you sat quietly right now, like Jodi mentioned during the episode, what are some of the unfinished things you still want to accomplish?     

It's easy to feel like you're just going through life on autopilot sometimes without making every day count. That's why it's important to design the kind of life you want to live. Positive psychologist Jodi Wellman says we can take control of our time and design the kind of lives we want to live. She's the author of a new book called You Only Die Once. Some of the things we talk about are: Why you should count your Mondays and how this can motivate you to make the most of your time. How to proactively design your life so your activities contribute to your happiness and well-being. Why you should assess your regrets and how to turn your regrets into motivation to take action now. How to balance routine and novelty to keep life exciting and avoid falling into autopilot. How to align your daily actions with your larger goals and values to live a more meaningful life.

You may think that a conversation about death and how we want to live our lives is a serious one—but I can assure you that this podcast episode is full of fun and laughs.   While Jodi's work is steeped in research, she makes this conversation (and her book) so digestible that you'll find yourself laughing along the way—and getting some clear action steps.

In today's episode, Sarah interviews Jodi Wellman on her work on mortality and how the concept of death / our finite lives can inspire living a life with vitality, meaning, and -- for lack of a better term, more "aliveness."

“Here is a small fact: You are going to die.” – Markus Zusak, The Book Thief This week, Kurt and Tim confront death. Well - they confront death and Jodi Wellman, author of “You Only Die Once” in a lively discussion on how we can use mortality and a motivator for living life to the fullest. Wellman bring an irreverent humor to the conversation, as well as inspiring insights on how we can prioritize joy and find meaning in our daily lives.  The trio dives into the heart of Wellman's philosophy and explores the idea that life is about more than ticking off a to-do lists or sticking to routings. With a mix of anecdotes and insights, they explore how we can shake things up and be more intentional with our time. After all, we only have so many Mondays left to live! In their grooving session, Kurt opens up about how a brush with death can remind us of life's preciousness. As they wrap up, they emphasize how the power of gratitude and the importance of connecting with loved ones can help us do more than just breathe - but actually live.  Whether it's finding joy in the everyday or reaching out to someone you've lost touch with, the episode is a reminder that living fully means being present, purposeful and - at times - a little irreverent. © 2024 Behavioral Grooves Topics  [0:00] How often do you think about death?

Well, our perception of its value definitely increases. If we knew we would live forever, which sometimes is a fantasy. And to be honest, other than it sounding exhausting, if we knew we were going to live forever, we would never take action on anything because there'd be no real literal deadline. You'd just say, Yeah, I'll go and take that college course maybe like in the next thousand years, because you could do it. But we'd never get anything really done. We unfortunately need the deadline and it can be a bummer, but it's the activating force that can help us to get going on our dreams and our intentions." On the Life Calculator "So my company, I called 4,000 Mondays, because we roughly get 4,000 weeks, with the math of working backwards. First of all, if you want to calculate how many Mondays you have lived so far, good for you. And let's celebrate those years and Mondays. That's amazing. But more importantly, what do you have left? So for example, I know I have 1,814 left if I live an average female life to 83. Men live till an average of 78, at least in the US to make this a localized calculation. And the math would be that you take either the 83 or the 78 or 80 if you don't identify with other gender, and minus your current age, and then multiply by 52.
