Podcast appearances and mentions of sandra beck

When you spend years focused on raising a family, it's easy to lose touch with the quieter parts of yourself—your preferences, rhythms, curiosity, and needs. The role works. The structure holds. And then one day, the intensity eases, and you're left wondering who you are without constant responsibility guiding every decision. On this episode of Motherhood Talk Radio, Sandra Beck explores how to reconnect with yourself after the family-raising years without guilt or urgency. This conversation looks at the disorientation that can come with role changes, the grief and relief that often coexist, and the slow, deliberate process of remembering what matters to you now. This episode isn't about reinventing your entire life overnight. It's about listening again—paying attention to what energizes you, what drains you, and what deserves space in this next chapter. You didn't disappear while raising a family. You were evolving. Now it's time to come back to yourself.

Some changes we chase—new goals, fresh starts, long-overdue decisions. Others arrive uninvited, disruptive, and poorly timed. Job losses, health shifts, relationship endings, or sudden responsibilities that reroute life without asking permission. On this episode of Coach Talk Radio, Sandra Beck explores how to navigate both kinds of change—the ones we choose and the ones forced upon us—without collapsing or pretending everything is fine. This conversation looks at why resistance is natural, how meaning can be built even when choice is limited, and what it takes to regain agency in the middle of uncertainty. Rather than framing change as something to “embrace” or “stay positive” about, this episode focuses on steadiness, discernment, and adaptive courage. Because growth doesn't come from controlling the change—it comes from deciding who you will be while it unfolds. Change will happen either way. The power is in how you meet it.

Change and loss have a way of stripping life down to the essentials. What once mattered may suddenly feel irrelevant. What once motivated you may no longer move you at all. And in the quiet aftermath, a hard question often lingers: What gives life meaning now? On this episode of Powered Up Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck explores how meaning is rebuilt—not discovered—after loss and major life change. This conversation looks at why old sources of purpose may fall away, how grief reshapes identity, and why rushing to “move on” often delays real healing. This episode isn't about finding silver linings or reframing pain into something inspirational. It's about learning to live honestly in the aftermath, allowing meaning to emerge through integration, choice, and values rather than force. Because meaning after loss doesn't come from replacing what was lost. It comes from deciding how you will live with what remains—and who you choose to become next.

Family events and holidays can feel heavier when you're showing up solo. The questions. The assumptions. The empty chair no one knows how to talk about. Even well-meaning gatherings can stir grief, fatigue, or a quiet sense of not quite belonging. On this episode of Military Mom Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck speaks honestly about navigating family events and holidays on your own—without shrinking, overexplaining, or pretending it doesn't affect you. This conversation explores how to manage expectations, set boundaries without drama, and decide what participation actually looks like for you now. This episode isn't about powering through discomfort or opting out entirely. It's about choice—choosing when to engage, when to step back, and how to protect your emotional energy while still honoring what matters to you. You don't need a partner or a perfect story to take up space. You get to show up as you are—and that's enough.

There comes a moment when more money, more responsibility, more visibility, and more pressure stop delivering what they once promised. The ladder keeps going, but the view doesn't improve. And quietly, a harder question surfaces: What is all this for? On this episode of Coach Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck explores what happens when “more” no longer equals meaning—and why that realization isn't a crisis, but an invitation. An invitation to redefine success, reassess what actually matters, and realign life and work with values instead of volume. This conversation cuts through hustle culture and the myth that fulfillment comes from accumulation. It looks at why ambition without alignment leads to exhaustion, how purpose evolves over time, and what it takes to build a life that feels coherent, grounded, and genuinely satisfying. Because at some point, more stops being impressive—and meaning becomes non-negotiable.

Handling the holidays solo can feel exposing. The noise gets louder, the expectations multiply, and the absence of what used to be—or what never was—can sit front and center. When you're on your own, the pressure to either “power through” or fake cheer can be exhausting. On this episode of Powered Up Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck talks honestly about navigating the holiday season solo without numbing out, overcommitting, or losing your footing. This conversation explores how to manage emotional landmines, decide what traditions still serve you, and protect your time and energy in a season that often demands more than it gives. This episode isn't about pretending solitude doesn't sting or reframing it into forced positivity. It's about leadership—self-leadership. Choosing how you participate, where you show up, and when you opt out. Being solo doesn't make the holidays empty. It makes them different. And handled well, different can be powerful.

At some point, the roles that once defined you begin to shift—or fall away entirely. Active-duty spouse becomes veteran spouse. Full-time parent becomes guide-on-the-side. Caregiver, coordinator, fixer, leader—suddenly the job description changes, whether you asked for it or not. On this episode of Military Mom Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck explores what it means to navigate changing roles later in life without losing your sense of self. This conversation addresses the grief that can come with identity shifts, the discomfort of no longer being “needed” in the same way, and the quiet opportunity hidden inside role changes. Rather than clinging to old identities or rushing to replace them, this episode focuses on integration—honoring who you've been while making room for who you're becoming. Because changing roles doesn't mean you're irrelevant. It means your life is evolving. You are not starting over from nothing. You are starting from experience.

After 50, friendship changes—and pretending it doesn't is how people end up isolated. Careers shift, families scatter, marriages change, and the built-in social structures of earlier life quietly disappear. What worked at 30 won't work now, and that's not a failure—it's a wake-up call. On this episode of Coach Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck talks honestly about how to build a large, meaningful, and sustainable support system later in life. Not surface-level acquaintances. Not “holiday-only” friends. Real people who show up, tell the truth, and walk beside you through the next chapters. This conversation explores why adult friendship requires intention, how to stop waiting for invites and start creating connection, and why vulnerability, consistency, and shared values matter more than proximity or history. Building community after 50 isn't about being likable—it's about being available, aligned, and willing to invest. Longevity isn't just about health or finances. It's about who has your back when life shifts again—and it will.

At some point in life, the old circle thins out. People move, priorities change, seasons end—and suddenly the support system you relied on isn't there anymore. What no one talks about is how vulnerable it can feel to start building connection again as an adult. On this episode of Powered Up Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck breaks down what it really takes to build a new circle of friends for genuine support—not networking contacts, not casual acquaintances, but people who show up when life gets complicated. This conversation explores why adult friendship requires intention, how to recognize aligned people, and why waiting to be invited keeps many people isolated. This episode isn't about collecting more people. It's about building reciprocal relationships rooted in honesty, availability, and shared values. Because support doesn't come from history alone—it comes from consistency and mutual care. You don't need a bigger circle. You need the right one.

For many women—especially military moms—saying no feels wrong. You're trained to be capable, dependable, and accommodating. You step up, fill gaps, and carry more than your share because that's what keeps everything running. Until it doesn't. On this episode of Military Mom Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck breaks down why learning to say no is one of the most important life skills you can develop—and why it's so uncomfortable at first. This conversation explores how over-yes-ing leads to exhaustion and resentment, why guilt shows up when boundaries are introduced, and how saying no actually strengthens relationships instead of damaging them. This episode isn't about being difficult or disengaged. It's about recognizing that your time, energy, and emotional bandwidth are finite—and treating them that way. Saying no isn't a rejection of others. It's a commitment to yourself.

Life rarely gives us a clean slate—but it does give us do-overs. The problem is, they almost never arrive when we feel ready, confident, or fearless. More often, opportunity shows up disguised as discomfort, uncertainty, or risk. On this episode of Coach Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck explores what it really means to take a second chance in life—especially when fear is loud and certainty is nowhere to be found. From missed opportunities and false starts to unexpected openings that demand courage before clarity, this conversation cuts through the motivational clichés and gets honest about how growth actually happens. If you've ever hesitated because you were afraid of failing again, being judged, or stepping into the unknown, this episode is for you. Because the truth is simple and uncomfortable: the do-over doesn't wait until you're brave. You become brave by taking it. Sometimes the second chance isn't about fixing the past—it's about choosing yourself now.

What happens when the power of the human brain meets the speed of artificial intelligence? On In Your Head, Dr. Leigh Richardson and Sandra Beck dive into the intersection of brain capital, automation, and AI. Together, they explore how investing in brain health is no longer optional—it's the competitive edge in an automated world. From resilience and decision-making to creativity and adaptability, they discuss why brain capital is the currency of the future, and how leaders, businesses, and individuals can strengthen it to thrive alongside AI. Rather than fearing technology, this conversation shows how we can use it to elevate human performance, safeguard mental health, and ensure that the most valuable asset of all—the human brain—stays at the center of innovation.

In military families, saying yes often feels automatic. Yes to helping. Yes to covering down. Yes to one more obligation, one more favor, one more demand—because that's what strong, capable people do. Until one day, you're exhausted, resentful, and running on empty. On this episode of Military Mom Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck tackles the hard truth about learning to say no and why protecting your time isn't selfish—it's essential. This conversation explores how overcommitment erodes mental health, why guilt shows up when boundaries are set, and how to stop treating your availability as unlimited. This episode is about reclaiming control over your calendar, your energy, and your emotional bandwidth. Not by becoming rigid or uncaring—but by recognizing that time is a finite resource, and how you spend it teaches others how to treat you. You don't owe everyone access. You owe yourself sustainability.

People pleasing rarely looks like a problem—at least from the outside. It looks like being helpful, agreeable, dependable, and “easy.” But underneath, it often hides resentment, burnout, and a slow erosion of self-worth. On this episode of Coach Talk Radio, Sandra Beck takes a clear-eyed look at why people pleasing becomes a survival strategy, how it's reinforced by family systems and workplace culture, and why it eventually stops working. This conversation isn't about becoming selfish or cold—it's about learning the difference between kindness and self-abandonment. You'll explore how chronic over-giving trains others to take more, why guilt shows up when boundaries are finally set, and what it takes to rebuild relationships on honesty instead of obligation. Because being liked isn't the same as being respected—and peace doesn't come from keeping everyone else comfortable.

Military life is built on change—new orders, long separations, sudden returns, and constant uncertainty. For military moms, starting over isn't a dramatic event; it's a repeated reality. Yet even in the middle of exhaustion, grief, or burnout, there comes a quiet moment when you realize: I don't have to wait. I can begin again today. On this episode of Military Mom Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck speaks to the courage it takes to reset emotionally, mentally, and practically in the midst of military life. This conversation explores how to reclaim steadiness after disruption, release what no longer serves you, and take small but meaningful steps forward—without needing perfect timing or complete clarity. This episode isn't about pretending everything is fine or pushing through on empty. It's about choosing renewal where you are, with what you have, right now. Because beginning again doesn't require a new posting, a new year, or a new life. Sometimes it starts today.

Starting over isn't dramatic—it's exhausting. It often comes after loss, burnout, divorce, career upheaval, or a moment when the life you built no longer fits the person you've become. And unlike the first time around, there's no illusion that reinvention is easy. On this episode of Coach Talk Radio, Sandra Beck speaks candidly about what it really means to start over again in life—without pretending it's inspiring in the moment. This conversation dives into the grief of letting go, the fear of repeating past mistakes, and the quiet strength required to rebuild when you know exactly what's at stake. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or motivational slogans, this episode centers on practical courage: taking the next right step, tolerating uncertainty, and trusting yourself enough to begin again without guarantees. Because starting over isn't a failure. It's a decision. And sometimes, it's the bravest one you'll ever make.

The holiday season has a way of spotlighting what's missing. Empty chairs, changed traditions, quieter mornings. And when you're entering the holidays solo—by choice or by circumstance—it can feel like the world is built for everyone else. On this episode of Coach Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck talks honestly about navigating the holidays alone without sugarcoating it or spiraling into self-pity. This conversation explores how to reclaim agency during a season loaded with expectations, how to create meaning without forcing cheer, and why being solo does not equal being broken. Rather than chasing old traditions that no longer fit, this episode invites you to design new ones—ones rooted in self-respect, clarity, and emotional truth. Because the holidays don't have to look crowded to be full. Sometimes being solo isn't a loss. It's a pause. And in that pause, there's power.

Sandra Beck of Coach Talk Radio recently sat down with Dr. Andrew Wittman to uncover the truth about willpower, why it often fails us, and how to get the most out of what we have. Dr. Wittman, a renowned motivational keynote speaker and founder of the Mental Toughness Training Center, draws from his diverse experiences as a Marine Corps infantry leader, a State Department security contractor, and a coach for high-performance leaders. His insights challenge the traditional notion of willpower as an unlimited resource, instead offering actionable strategies to harness its potential effectively.illpower is often romanticized as a superhero-like trait that can push us through any challenge. Dr. Wittman debunks this myth by explaining that willpower is a finite resource. Much like a muscle, it can become fatigued after repeated use. “When you rely solely on willpower,” he explains, “you're setting yourself up for failure. It's not a question of strength; it's a question of strategy.” Dr. Wittman highlights several factors that drain willpower: Decision Fatigue: The more decisions you make, the more depleted your mental resources become, leaving you vulnerable to poor choices. Emotional Overload: Stress, anxiety, and frustration erode the mental toughness needed to sustain self-discipline. Lack of Preparation: Without a plan, even the strongest resolve can falter in the face of temptation or unexpected challenges. Strategies to Maximize Mental Toughness Dr. Wittman emphasizes that the key to overcoming the limitations of willpower lies in mental toughness—learning to control your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and actions, particularly under pressure. Here are some of his core strategies: Automate Decisions: Reduce decision fatigue by creating routines and habits that eliminate unnecessary choices. For example, decide your meal plans or workout schedule in advance so you don't have to rely on willpower in the moment. Reframe Your Perspective: Shift your mindset to see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. Dr. Wittman suggests asking yourself, “What can I learn from this situation?” Develop a Clear Vision: A well-defined purpose provides the motivation needed to push through difficulties. He stresses the importance of identifying your “why” to stay focused on long-term goals. Train Your Brain: Through mindfulness, visualization, and mental rehearsal, you can build resilience to stress and prepare yourself for high-pressure situations. Dr. Wittman likens this to combat training: “You don't rise to the occasion; you sink to your level of training.” Create a Support System: Surround yourself with people who share your goals and values. Positive reinforcement from your environment can bolster your resolve when willpower wanes. A special thanks to our sponsor, Monarch Money!
