Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk. You'll recognize yourself in these true-life stories from women who are walking their lives while their lives walk them and the lasting difference these journeys have made. I'm your host, Diane Wyzga.Today my guest is Jane Duncan Rogers, founder and Chief Officer of Before I Go Solutions and Before I Go Academy who's joining us from North Scotland. Like many of us who were walking their lives until Life walked them, Jane enjoyed a successful career in retailing, trained with the wonderful Louise Hay, offered You Can Heal Your Life study groups, became an award-winning psychotherapist before finding herself face-to-face with Death at the age of 54 when her  husband, Phillip, died. Three years later Jane published a book called Gifted By Grief. Where is the gift in grief? I've invited Jane to talk with us about the absolutely vital end-of-life planning work that she and her team are spreading around the world. Welcome to the podcast, Jane!    Minutes 29:1500 to 2:00     Intro2:00 to 5:15     Start From Where You AreOne fine day I will get to Scotland to spend time hiking and trekking. If I met up with you on one of your favorite walks, what's the first thing I'd notice about you?  Jane's energy, passion and honesty. It seems to be who she is! No matter where she is and the topic she's talking about that's what she brings to itAnd if we had some time to walk along together what might I get to know about you?On the outside Jane looks pretty ordinary and normalBut on the inside is different and had unusual life in many respects A bit of a teaserWhen we parted ways what would I remember about walking with you?How the host felt How we make people feel is what we remember Remember the walk as nourishing and fun and  learning and excited to return to our livesHost recalls how wonderful it would be to live next door to Jane and inspire each otherLet's try and inspire the world here!  5:15 to 7:50     Professional Life Experiences Unexpectedly Set Stage for Current RoleWe all have a back story. Before we get to the very BIG story of Before I Go Solutions, I have a question: Those who have listened to your TEDx talk or heard your recent interview with Tara Nash on her Conscious Grief series might be aware of what started you on the road to Before I Go Solutions. Before we get to that story I'd like to know a bit about your own growth and learning and how it prepared for your current work:Had been an award-winning counselor and coach for over 25 years, having originally trained personally with the famous Louise L. Hay in 1990, working in the personal growthWas helping small business owners to reach their full potential when Philip died.Jane says past didn't really prepare her for current work; other than saying when she looked back and learned that everything done before prepared for todayAlways interested in behind the scenesAt age 16 Jane wanted to study psychology to learn how human minds work which isn't what she learned at university; but it is the beginning of formal behind-the-scenes learningAlso interested in how businesses worked; Jane brings that to the present day in end-of-life planning facilitation trainingLoved Louise Hay for the fantastic blend of spiritual and practical; Jane has that spiritual connection to Life and being in Life which translates into a practical way that is joy in purposeJane inspires others from a bedrock of loving what she does that is also practical and helpful to people7:50 to 12:15     Preparing for the ExpectedWhich brings us nicely to the next chapter. You've written and spoken that because of questions your husband Phillip answered in his last year you were prepared for some things, but not all things. Would you share with us a bit of the story about the unexpected diagnosis and preparation for end-of-life; in particular, what you didn't know about, what you had to decide, both alone and together.October 2010 Jane's husband Phillip was diagnosed (out of the blue) with stomach cancer; no reason to suspect anythingCaught early so they had hope it would resolve well and Phillip would recoverAfter chemotherapy and surgery that was not completely successful they realized they were facing the endDifficult and made every moment even more preciousThey received an email from a mutual friend with a list of questions that Jane ignored, ignore again and then the 3rd time finally looked atTogether Jane and Phillip answered a list of very practical questions (passwords, coffin, body dressing, and so on)Actually had a “good time doing it, believe it or not!”Jane recalls that this was like a project; she and Phillip had been good at doing projects together (home renovation, books, etc.)This felt like they were creating something together even with the reluctance to begin. And the project helped a lotWhen Phillip died 4 months later Jane met with funeral director and when asked how the body should be dressed Jane knew what to sayWhat made that lovely? Phillip had told that her that he  wanted to be dressed in his dressing gown which Jane had made for him.Jane didn't know: body could be brought home to lie in the house where friends could come to pay respects; didn't need to get the funeral home involved right away; and so on.What Jane later learned opened up choices12:15 to 17:00     The Effect of Grief on Loved Ones Who Are UnpreparedHost finds the story remarkable that a friend sent the triggering email. How did that come to be?An old friend of Phillip's was a nurse specialist who was familiar with end-of-life and either prepared or found the questionsMost importantly, the nurse friend had seen the effect on families with these things not being addressed until it is too lateJane knew it would have been helpful to investigate a crematorium but could not; today she organizes crematorium tours for her clients which is interesting when you are “researching” and there's a lot to learnIf we want to re-do the kitchen, say we will get bids from 3 contractors, compare and decide whom to go with. Do we do this with funeral directors? No. Why don't we do it? Because at the time we need one we are faced with loss and griefShopping around is sensible - before the grief - well in advance of needing itHost's personal experience with her mother's passing and the role of the 7 siblings jumping in to scramble and get ready with the myriad of details when death happened rather quickly. Versus when her father passed and had a simple pine coffin in mind but still the link to purchase was shared with a friend who was able to track down coffin. Start to plan now because your loved ones will be in no position to make big decisions at the time. As Host has written, “End-of-life is a GPS for our loved ones.”17:00 to  19:50     Avoiding Unnecessary CostsEnd-of-life decisions can be an enormous expense or not, depending on so many factorsChoices abound if you know about them ahead of timeDo the researchYou don't need a funeral at all; all that's required is the proper disposal of the body remainsCan easily and appropriately keep costs down if you knowPeople are unaware of the shocking impact that grief has;  even when you know that death is imminent and how that translates to your thinking and behavior which becomes muddledUnless you've had this experience you probably have no clue how you will reactBest advice: have the conversation well beforehand and translate that conversation into writing19:50 to 22:45     First Book: Gifted by GriefHow did your first book, Gifted by Grief come about? What prompted you to write this book some 3 years after Phillip's death and what might be the gift in grief?When Phillip was ill Jane was practicing as a small business coach and writing a blog on the topic of living while a loved one is dyingJane's writing style is direct and honest: who she is is what you getJane knew one day she would write a story from her view point and Phillip's; but not right awayJane trusted that she would know what was the right time to write; proceeded to a mind map of the bookIt took a few more months before Jane began writing the book and it all poured out in 6 weeks timeJane's experience was very cathartic and part of her healing journeyMaking the end-of-life experience a proper book was the way to honor Phillip, the journey and help other people22:45 to 25:40     What Followed Gifted by GriefFollowing the book Jane offered small workshops to those who wanted to work on griefJane was shocked to learn that the chapter on The Questions was a popular and necessary topicWhere your Life walks you is how Jane felt: maybe I should show these folks what to doA waiting list appeared which said, “Something's here.”Jane believed she was being shown what to do, knew how to take training on line“It was just me doing this.”Jane came to understand she needed to create a not-for-profit enterprise with a name, directors and suchBefore I Go Solutions  name came easily to Jane; “just popped into my head.”The enterprise grew as Jane followed energies and impulsesJane keeps checking in to ask if this is what she should be doing and the answer is still a big “Yes!”25:40 to 29:15     Frustrations, Challenges and Return Next Week for Part 2   Host: You have so beautifully articulated the path through the woods about how something comes into being and doing wonderful work in the world growing out of one's own sadness, grief, loss but Life and Jane in concert made this happen. When you follow what you are really truly meant to be doing here. I'm curious: You said you knew you were on the right path because of the resounding “Yes!” as you kept checking in; but what might have been some of the frustrations and challenges as you were putting all this together? Here we are, at the end of the road but not the journey.

Academy.When my husband Philip died, I never for one moment imagined  I would end up working in this field.I had been an award-winning counselor and coach for over 25 years, having originally trained personally with the famous Louise L. Hay in 1990, working in the personal growth field in many different aspects. I'd  published books and tapes (well before the internet) and was helping small business owners to reach their full potential when Philip died.Because of the questions he had answered in his last year, I was well prepared in some respects for the admin side of things afterwards. But there was much more we simply did not know about.Fast forward to 2018, a year during which both my parents died.  They had completed a comprehensive end-of-life plan each, the one that Before I Go Solutions offers, now known as the Before I Go Method®.This was very different to my husband who had answered some things, but there was a lot more that I simply had to decide about myself.And that difference was huge – as my parents' executor, I simply had to follow all their thoughtful instructions.What's more, it was easy to find everything, and I took great solace from knowing I was carrying out what they wanted (and that they had known I would do this).My three siblings and I had no arguments at all, over what was a pretty stressful period (they both died unexpectedly within the same week).I am so incredibly grateful and appreciative for the organisation they had so carefully thought through.So I know from personal experience how hugely important this preparation work is, and I want to help you to help others do this too!Jane's background of 25 years in the psychotherapeutic and training fields has been perfect for the not-for-profit - Before I Go Solutions - she founded and helps to operate. Together with her team of trained End of Life Facilitators, she provides products and programmes to help people complete their end-of-life plans, something about which many have good intentions but never quite actually get around to doing.Jane lives in the North of Scotland, re-married during COVID lock-down, and she and her new husband are building not only a new life but a new eco-house/home together.  How to Stay in Touch With Jane Duncan Rogers Jane Duncan RogersChief Officer Before I Go Solutions CIC, www.beforeigosolutions.com- Author of: Before I Go: The Essential Guide to Creating A Good End of Life Plan and Gifted By Grief- Speaker on TedX talk: How to Do A Good Death- Training in End of Life Plan Facilitation:  https://beforeigosolutions.com/big-training-intensive/- Facebook: End-of-Life Conversations Group: https://www.facebook.com/beforeigosolutions/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/giftedbygrief- Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janeduncanrogers-5aa3b591   

On today's episode, Jane Sagalovich is joining us. Many entrepreneurs and coaches I have met want to create a course, a group coaching program, or more one on one experiences, and most of the time they don't ever try to combine these into one singular program.  What Jane does is help people scale their genius by combining elements of a good course, a good group coaching program, and a one-on-one coaching experience into something that is powerful, memorable, gets great results, and creates a premium experience for your clients.  We are going to dig into that on the interview today.  This is a very tactical, action-packed episode especially if you are looking to create an excellent program or raise the prices and improve an existing program.   Jane is the founder of Scale Your Genius and she is on a mission to inspire and guide coaches, experts, and consultants towards reclaiming their time, building more wealth, and creating more impact. Over the past four years, Jane has helped hundreds of experts create their online courses and programs with clarity, confidence, and ease. As a result, they get to monetize their expertise in new ways, create additional income streams, and serve more clients without working more hours.  In This Episode: By keeping the magic of you in the process, your clients get really, really amazing experiences. You also get to serve more people.   One myth is that you need a big list to be able to make a lot of money.  Just setting those clear expectations of here's what the experience is going to be like is super powerful in the onboarding experience.   And so much more!!!

Did you know that many of our chronic health issues stem from the gut? By changing the foods we eat, reducing our stress levels, and creating a mindful morning routine, we can vastly improve our health. Jane Hogan, “The Wellness Engineer,” joins me to talk about how she healed her rheumatoid arthritis using these methods.   The Benefits of Heart-Focused Breathing: Heart Coherence Increase Heart Rate Variability Helps PTSD and Anxiety   About Jane Hogan Jane Hogan, "The Wellness Engineer," is passionate about helping people release joint pain by naturally letting go of inflammatory foods, thoughts, and feelings so they are free to become the most magnificent version of themselves.  Her personal experience of overcoming crippling rheumatoid arthritis using natural solutions inspired her to leave a nearly 30-year engineering career and become a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach - Jane hung up her hard hat and followed her heart!  Through Jane Hogan Health, Jane applies her engineering problem-solving skills to help others build a solid foundation of mind-body wellness and design their own unique path back to strength, vitality, and freedom.  Hogan is the creator of Wonderful Fine: An Anti-Inflammatory Living Membership Program, helping others see they can achieve optimal health by intentionally designing a life based on what our own body needs. Jane has inspired over 150,000 people to take control of their health with natural solutions and features on multiple media outlets.   Healing Chronic Health Issues in the Gut Jane Hogan shares her personal story of how she, seemingly overnight, developed severe rheumatoid arthritis. Instead of letting this diagnosis define the rest of her life, she began a journey that eventually saw her leave her 30-year engineering career so she can help others heal their chronic health conditions. Jane explains how she applied mathematics principles in her quest to heal her arthritis. She then went through the process of removing potentially problematic foods from her diet. Jane shares the struggle she had reintroducing these foods and what realization she came to in the end. What Jane really wants you to know is that many of our chronic health conditions start in the gut. This means focusing on improving our gut health can solve many problems. Jane talks about some of the ways lousy gut health can show up in the body and stresses that inflammation and pain can be so different for different people.   Mental Health Practices to Improve Your Gut Health Once Jane started healing her gut health, she discovered other potential causes. She began noticing how stress manifested in her body and set out to reduce her stress levels. To start, she discovered, and now actively and regularly practices, heart-centered breathing. One of the ways that heart-centered breathing benefits us is that it increases our heart rate variability. Jane explains why this is something we should strive for in our health. Jane is also a convert to the miracle morning. She claims that when she implemented a morning routine, her stress levels reduced significantly, and her gut health, and therefore her other health issues, improved dramatically. Jane recommends Hal Elrod’s books on The Miracle Morning for more in-depth information. Finally, Jane believes that we all have the power to dramatically change our lives. It’s about envisioning the type of life we desire and manifesting it into reality. The solutions to all your problems lie within you. Have you tried mindful breathing exercises to improve your health? What benefits have you found from putting a regular morning routine in place? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.   Quotes “A lot of people don’t realize that inflammation in other parts of their body is due to their gut.” [13:42] “Our brain works in pictures so if you can visualize a picture in your head of what you want, then it helps it actually come to fruition.” [21:13] “Drink enough water. A lot of people just aren’t drinking enough water. That helps so much.” [29:54] “Think about putting good in. Good food, good thoughts, good feelings, good water, good air, good things on your skin, good people around you. Just exposing yourself to the best environment possible because the environment is what changes our gene expression.” [30:06]   In This Episode Why you have to cut out and reintroduce foods methodically [9:30] How symptoms of gut health issues can show up differently for different people [13:30] How heart-centered breathing can help you reduce stress and improve your gut health [15:00] Why you want to increase your heart rate variability [18:00] How a morning routine can improve your gut health [20:15] Why you need to understand that the solutions to your health and life lie within you [31:30]   Links & Resources Use code LIVERDETOX for 10% off the Core Restore Liver Detox Buy Adrenal Calm 3 Simple Ways to Help Calm Inflammation While Eating Find out More About The Miracle Morning   Find Jane Hogan Online Follow Jane Hogan on Instagram | Facebook | Pinterest   Find Your Longevity Blueprint Online Follow Your Longevity Blueprint on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online    Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray on Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast Production by the team at Counterweight Creative    Related Episodes  Episode 31: Gut/Brain Connection With Dr. Lauryn Lax Episode 33: Biohacking With The Ingredientologist Shawn Wells Episode 32: Happy Hormones For Life With Dr. Deb Matthew

Do you suffer from joint pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus, osteoarthritis, gout, or fibromyalgia?

Today’s guest is Jane Hogan, a civil engineer turned Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. When crippling joint pain from autoimmune disease entered her life in 2016, she turned to functional medicine to heal using food and lifestyle changes. Now, as a health coach, she helps other people find freedom from joint pain, and regain health and vitality. In this episode, Jane shares her experience with rheumatoid arthritis, finding functional medicine and the root cause, and the parallels between engineering and holistic medicine. She also talks about the importance of nurturing mind, body, and spirit, how childhood events can effect our perceptions, and her new membership program called Wonderful Fine, as well as the modalities she uses during coaching.Key Points From This Episode:• Rapid fire questions: Jane introduces herself in five words, mother, wife, engineer, and coach.• Currently, Jane says she is inspired by the work of Gregg Braden and Dr. Joe Dispenza.• As a holistic health coach, Jane focuses on joint pain and empowering people in their health.• Engineering to holistic health – Jane shares a personal experience with rheumatoid arthritis.• Turning to functional medicine and dealing with the root cause.• The parallels between functional medicine and engineering.• We are always striving for abundance and growth; it motivates us to make our lives morebeautiful, using our bodies as a compass.• Jane says that stress and anxiety are common underlying triggers for autoimmune conditions.• Jane talks about the ACE score for trauma, which stands for adverse childhood events.• The importance of being conscientious as a parent about what we say to our children.• What Jane is excited about in her business – her new membership program, Wonderful Fine.• Modalities Jane uses during coaching, like affirmations, visualization, and creating relaxation.Shareables:“I figured out that, really, there is so much that we can do, because chronic illnesses don’thappen overnight. They happen because the environment changes, and the environment canbe our thoughts, it can be the food that we are eating, it can be our relationships, it can be theamount of sleep that we are getting, all these things, and that causes the genes then to express an illness.” — Jane Hogan [0:08:27]“We’ve had our fair share of issues and [our] fair share of things that are stacked against [us],but after is when you can embrace that feeling of gratitude.” — Cassandra Shuck [0:17:24]“As much as possible, [try] to bring peace and calm into your day, so that you’re more often in arest/relax mode than a fight/flight mode. We don’t realize how much we are in fight/flight, and as long as we’re in fight/flight, the immune system isn’t working, there is no healing happening.” — Jane Hogan [0:28:33]Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Jane Hogan HealthJane Hogan on InstagramJane Hogan Health Newsletter SubscriptionWonderful Fine Membership ProgramBest Kind Private CoachingGregg BradenDr. Joe DispenzaCassandra ShuckFrom Hustle to Healing

Tibetan teacher Mingyur Rinpoche said, “The only difference between meditation and ordinary social interaction is that the friend you’re gradually coming to know is yourself.” If you’ve ever practiced meditation, you’ll know this to be true.  Conversely, if you’ve never tried meditation, you might be thinking it sounds too difficult or too abstract. I can relate to this, because the first time I tried meditation, I had to suspend disbelief. But this simple practice brought me awareness, consciousness, and ultimately led to my passion for helping others. And I owe it all to today’s guest, Jane Wambui Kaberere. Jane is the most requested guest on the Model Health Show, my biggest inspiration, and she also happens to be my mother-in-law. She is the epitome of overcoming obstacles in order to make a positive impact on others. Her story encompasses all levels of health and wellness, including nutrition, mindfulness, and self-care. Learning from Jane has truly been one of the biggest gifts in my life, and I’m so grateful to be able to share that experience with you today.   In this episode you’ll discover: What Jane’s culture taught her about the role of women.  How Jane’s mother motivated her to strive for more and defy traditional gender roles.  A thought that inspired Jane to uncover real happiness.  The power of asking questions and having the audacity to experiment.  What inspired Jane to pursue an education.  The extents that she went to in order to learn and grow.  How meditation can help you overcome your fears.  Why meditation is like driving a car.  The story behind how meditation led to the creation of the Model Health Show. How meditation can teach you compassion and connection. The different types of mediation that Jane has experimented with. Why Jane loves to teach meditation.  How emotional pain can manifest into physical symptoms.  Jane’s inspiration for learning more about nutrition.  How the naming system works in Kenya.  The power of practicing self-care and self-love.  Why accepting support from those around you can be so powerful.  Items mentioned in this episode include:  Thrivemarket.com/modelhealth ⇐ 25% off your entire 1st order + free shipping!
