The first six months of the year are behind us, and now is the perfect time to reflect on what's been happening. What do you love? What don't you love? Where might you need to pivot?  There's no rule saying we have to wait until December to have this conversation with ourselves. And there is definitely no rule saying that whatever we set in January must continue throughout the year. So join Stacy as she reflects on the lessons and experiences of her year thus far and give yourself the space to ask the questions, listen to your answers, and design a plan on how you can move forward in the months ahead. KEY POINTS: Have you achieved the goals you set in January? What has made you the happiest thus far? How did you handle the challenges and surprises encountered? Stacy's favorite books and podcasts in the last 6 months Habits and behaviors helping or inhibiting your growth  Are you nurturing your relationships? Why investing in your rest and self-care is productive  Lessons learned, blind spots, and moving forward QUOTABLES: “Just because you started a certain way doesn't mean that's how you have to end. You want to make sure that you take the time and remember that you deserve the time to reflect within yourself on the experiences you've had and where you want to go.” - Stacy Ike Like what you're hearing?

Finding intuition by releasing the reins PART ONE There are times when we are ready to step into our intuition fully, and we think we do, but somehow we still feel lost. There is this in the middle zone between releasing control and letting go where it feels like we missed a step along the way when it feels as though nothing is happening. How do you fully let go and release the fear to lean into intuition? Key Points: Have you released expectations, even the expectation of signs from intuition? Can you let go of all control? Do you feel any hold-backs that could be underlying that will dull your ability to hear your intuition? Are you expecting intuition to give you specific immediate direction? Are your emotions, worry, fear, desperation, or "positive thinking" blocking your ability to see signs from your intuition? It is not as easy as one two three, but it is possible to let go and lean into intuition fully to guide your life and business. There is a freedom that you experience when you can live through the signs of your intuition like nothing else. Until next time, keep it simple, be at ease with yourself, trust your intuition with light the way.

In this episode, I will talk about how you can start using your feelings more effectively for success on purpose, intentionally. I will also discuss the fact that our thoughts create our feelings, not our circumstances. Also, I will explain why you need to have awareness first, you can't change anything effectively without being aware of what's truly causing it. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss and discover that action is driven by the feeling you're having, you're trying to avoid, or you're trying to get. You don't have to wait to achieve something in order to feel how you want to feel, you can already have the life you want now based on how you chose to feel on the inside. Key Points: Have you ever had something so bad but you just keep on sabotaging yourself and your efforts? Why do we truly badly want something to sabotage ourselves, why do we not commit to what we agreed to do? The same thing that drives us towards success is the same thing that keeps us from it Everything we do or we don't do is because of the feeling that we're having or we're trying to avoid, or feeling we're trying to get. Feelings drive action, and the action that we take or don't take is how we get the results that we have in our life. Understand that every action in action, indulgence, and sabotage is all coming from a feeling Identify the feeling, what is the feeling that is actually causing this action. Identify the thought causing the feeling that's driving the action. What do I want to be feeling and what thoughts do I need to believe in order to feel that. You don't have to wait to achieve something in order to feel how you want to feel, you can already have the life you want now based on how you chose to feel on the inside.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

What type of retirement goals do you have for you and your spouse? How will your financial needs change during different phases of retirement?

Bill and Pete have the answers for you.   Episode Highlights:   01:37 – Bill Bush and Pete Bush introduce the topic of planning for a confident              retirement. 03:17 – Social Security is typically not enough to rely on for retirement. 03:51 – When you get to 50 the clock towards retirement starts ticking. 04:47 – What is the date and amount you need for retirement? 06:09 – What are your retirement goals? 07:29 – What are the three stages that some retirements fall under? 08:04 – How should you go about taking out extra money earlier in retirement? 09:49 – How does healthcare play into retirement planning? 11:15 – Mortgage debt is a huge problem in retirement. 12:06 – Which unique factors should retirement planners prepare for? 13:26 – What are all the things that a financial advisor does to help clients prepare              for a confident retirement? . 3 Key Points: Have a dollar-specific/date-specific plan.

Enjoy this episode Milwaukee’s Premier Tech Shop What Defines Roger: I’m a people person and I want to help people navigate through the confusing world of technology. I strive for understanding when I educate people and try really hard not to talk over people’s head – which is real easy to do when it comes to technical topics. What do I do? With the many ways technology solves problems, I evaluate a situation and narrow down solutions specific to the needs of the person I’m working with. For instance, a customer of mine with Parkinson’s disease has different requirements from his technology than our carpet cleaner or hair stylist. I performed on the Fox 6 Summerfest Stage when I was in High School.
