Episode 113: "Four of a Kind"For the week preceding Memorial Day, JDK tells the story of four young men who served with distinction as fighter pilots in World War II. Each of them achieved the distinction of "Ace" - meaning they shot down at least five enemy aircraft in combat. While each of these men survived the war, their comrades who did not survive remained close to their hearts and minds for the rest of their long lives in peacetime. For these men - as for us - the sacrifices of the men who died serving their country meant far more than any distinctions received by those who came home. Learn more about your ad choices.

Imagine waking up with an extra kick in your step. Oh, how to start the day off right. Change your morning, change your day! Now you might be thinking that's impossible. I've tried it, and it doesn't work. At least not for me. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact If you think it's not going to work for you, it's not! So you might as well stop listening now and go on to something else. However, if you want to change your day, let's talk about your morning. How to start the day off right. Do you know how many different ways there are to wake up in the morning? Even Wikipedia has an opinion. And of course, everything on the internet works. LOL :) Well, let's remind ourselves what the morning looks like now. Snooze 3x, now you're rushed with no time to breathe. You have nothing to wear. The children are crabby. There's split milk that you don't have time to clean up like you really want to. You can't find your keys. You drop the children off for school and you notice you don't have your cell phone. Back to the house you go. Now you are later than you really hoped you'd be, even though you hit snooze 3x at the beginning. Traffic is crazy. What excuse can you come up with this time? Sounds too familiar. This might be "the every other day" routine. At least you know how you shouldn't start off your day. So let's look at how to start the day off right. First, you must go to bed in order to rise early and be well-rested. This is not for lazy people. Don't expect to change your life without a little work. What you put in, you will get out. Assume you have received a good night's rest. Your alarm rings, and your day begins. Time to think on purpose! The K.I.S.S. ~ T.H.I.N.K. on purpose! Your mindset will change the trajectory of your day. Think on purpose. Don't let the world dictate your reactions. Presence: Rise up early and be filled with gratitude. Reverence: Admire God and appreciate His grace and mercy. Be Decisive: Decide in the morning how you will respond throughout your day. Put on the armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18) Prayer: Pray over your temptations. Know your weaknesses, ask for strength. CEO Meeting of Your Mind: Turn off WIIFM and Tune in to God to T.H.I.N.K. on purpose! T - is it TRUE? H - is it HELPFUL? I - is it INSPIRING? N - is it NECESSARY? K - is it KIND? "For the Lord will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught." ~ Proverbs 3:26 Start out your day right by leaning into what God is blessing you with. By what God is challenging you with. By what God is stretching you with. By how God desires to cling to you, so cling to Him. Start your day off right by giving of yourself.

Procrastination is something that has come up a lot with my coaching clients recently, so I thought we should dive into that here. There are many reasons we procrastinate. Sometimes procrastination is wrapped up in our self-doubt. Sometimes it’s wrapped up in perfectionism. Sometimes we’re scared of discomfort. Sometimes we’re paralyzed by anxiety. In this episode, I’ll walk you through 6 common reasons we procrastinate (I think you’ll find a few of these very enlightening) and 8 steps you can take to procrastinate less. We’ll talk about everything from simple habits like setting timers to get stuff done, to deeper ideas around assessing your mental health when find yourself in procrastination habits that you cannot seem to pull yourself out of.

"My goal is to get as many new runners as possible, increase the awesome community, and laugh while doing it." - Beth Baker Beth Baker started Running Evolution out of trying to run and failing for almost a year. She says she made every mistake; bad sports bras, wrong shoes and just, well, doing it wrong. But after falling in love with the sport and helping her friends start running, she knew she was on to something. The business was created 10 years ago and 2000 new runners were made from the program. She has also started her new venture: Coach Running Evolution.com, a online coaching program, where she is certifying and licensing people to start their own coaching program for new runners. Beth is a colleague and friend of mine in Seattle. We are friends because – well – I stalked her and told her I wanted to be her friend. Seriously. This is how beautiful friendships are made. Beth creates running magic by helping women share the experiences of learning to run together. I can’t say enough good things about the impact Beth has had on the thousands of runners she has coached. I am delighted and honored to share Beth with you today. Listen in to hear Beth share: Why the first three miles of running are the hardest Why running with a group is so much more beneficial, mentally and physically The truth about running when it’s really hurt (hint: you’re fine) Why you don’t need to be fast or run far for running to “count” Why running communities are especially valuable to moms Why running slow can be exactly what you need How to build a community and business around running How to become a running coach even if you don’t have any coaching experience (and even if you’re not a fast runner) Links Mentioned: Run with Beth in Seattle: Running Evolution Become a running coach: Coach Running Evolution Beth on Twitter Beth on Instagram Book: Bird By Bird by Anne Lamont Thank you to our sponsors: Bissell: For the easiest and most mess-free way to bathe your dog at home go to: Bissell.

The last couple weeks have been stressful for me on a few different levels. Anyone with me??? Here’s the deal - stress doesn’t have to be lonely and isolating. And we don’t have to sit in helplessness. Because that sh*t does not feel positive or productive. I have had to do some serious coaching of myself to get out of my head and into action over the last couple weeks and I thought it would be helpful to share this coaching with you. Listen in to hear me share what I’m feeling helpless about, how I’m making strategic escapes, what kinds of productive plans I’m making, and how I’m dumping & processing with others so I don’t have to go it alone (NO ONE should ever have to go it alone!)

Once Heather R. Huhman and her husband developed their careers enough to feel financially solvent, they decided it was time to start building their family. Unfortunately, the journey to motherhood was long and traumatic. In five years, Heather endured seven embryo transfers (three retrieval cycles with fresh transfers, four frozen transfers), four miscarriages, and stillborn twins before finally giving birth to her daughter Aurora prematurely in January 2016. Inspired by her own painful experience with infertility and pregnancy loss, Heather launched a twice weekly podcast called Beat Infertility in June 2015. The show features both infertility warriors and fertility experts to empower listeners to educate themselves and become their own self-advocates. In her professional life, Heather is the founder and president of Come Recommended, a PR company, and a regular contributor to Entrepreneur and Inc. Magazine. She resides in the Washington, D.C. area with her husband, their daughter, and their dog, Mackenzie. I have been deeply touched by Heather’s story and I am so grateful to have her on the show to share her experiences with infertility and relating to so many mothers who struggle with loss and grief around pregnancy. Listen in to hear Heather share: Her infertility story of enduring multiple miscarriages and stillbirths Her happy ending, that was still fraught with trauma Why she started an infertility podcast in the middle of her infertility journey How she thinks her podcast changed the course of her infertility The unexpected gifts and lessons of infertility What you can say to someone who is be going through infertility or has suffered a loss Links Mentioned: Heather’s Website: HeatherHuhman.com Heather’s Podcast: BeatInfertility.co Sara’s Interview on Beat Infertility Heather’s infertility journey: Ep 109, 110, 111 Beat Infertility on Twitter Beat Infertility on Facebook Beat Infertility on Instagram Thank you to our sponsors: Freshly: For fresh, fully cooked meals delivered right to your door.

Wanting to be courageous and actually being courageous can be two really different things. Courage takes intention. Courage takes guts – and sometimes grit. Courage takes practice. Today I’m going to share 4 ways you can start practicing courageous acts on a more regular basis, so you can: Stand up. Stand out. Stand when your knees shake. Stand when your voice quivers. Meet fear in the face. Practice scary things. Dream big. Act big. I’m going to talk about how to: Meet fear in the face Admit failure Stand up for something Listen more if you’re an extrovert OR Share more if you’re an introvert Warning: practicing these 4 things might make you a badass.

February is the (arbitrary) month of love. I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a Valentine’s Scrooge. I think I’m still bitter about all those V Days I spent wishing someone would send me some damn flowers and a singing telegram (ok, I know these haven’t really been a thing in like 50 years, but they look cool in old movies.) In spite of my feelings about Valentine’s Day, I’m ALL about celebrating love #everydamnday and I’m more than happy to use V Day as an excuse to talk about three ways to focus on #lovegoals in February. Tune in to hear me dig into these three areas of love: Self Love Demonstrations of Love Receiving Love I get into everything from self-love practices to forgiveness, to the 5 love languages, to graciousness. It’s good stuff. You’ll love it (ß see what I did there?!) I hope your February is full of family snuggles, kiddo giggles, uninterrupted time alone, your favorite chocolates, a reflection of everything you have to be grateful for, and maaaaaybe a singing telegram.

Today I’m going to tell you about the least sexy C word you need to use WAY more often. I think this C words is one of the most impactful words in your life if you put it into practice. In fact, I can see how this word assisted me in running my first 5K, my (only) marathon, and many triathlons. It is representative of how I parent daily. It has been a huge part of my success in building 3 different business platforms over the last 15 years. It truly impacts everything I do. When I want something to stay in my life for the long haul, I commit to fully embracing this word, even when it’s not easy. This word becomes a practice unto itself. I would say this word is one of the most powerful and impactful words in my 42 years of life. It is what keeps me showing up over and over in any area where I want to accomplish great things. You likely need MORE of this word in your life. Every. Damn. Day.

Guest: Robert Thurman is one of the world's foremost Buddhist scholars, a long-time friend of the Dalai Lama, the father of actress Uma Thurman, and a teacher of Tibetan Buddhism and related cultures.He is an eloquent advocate of the relevance of Eastern ideas to our daily lives. In doing so, he has become a leading voice of the value of reason, peace, and compassion. Thurman was named one of TIME magazine’s 25 most influential Americans and has been profiled by The New York Times Magazine and People magazine. He is the author of many books, and played a central role in the new graphic biography, Man of Peace: The Illustrated Life Story of the Dalai Lama of Tibet.Story: After losing an eye in an accident at a young age, Thurman was suddenly confronted with impermanence and death. Shortly after, he embarked on a life-changing journey and exploration of Tibetan Buddhism and culture, building a close relationship with the Dalai Lama, and becoming a prominent Buddhist teacher and scholar.Big idea(s): A lot of spirituality is skewed into an idea of escaping from relationship and transcending into some vastness. What if that vastness existed already in the life you were already living, but you just didn't see it?Every relative thing is empty of any non-relative element.By knowing reality, you transcend the idea that you’re more special than others, and their heartbeat becomes as important to you as your own.You’d never guess: Why Bob abandoned his education in the spring of his senior year of high school.Current passion project:A graphic novel biography of Dalai Lama – story of one man taking on an empire, calling for truth, peace, and justice for his Tibetan people.Rockstar sponsors/supporters:KIND - For $10 dollars, you’ll get a box with 10 KIND snacks inside including free shipping (that's a $20 value for just $10).
