04/05/23 • 55 min

In this episode, Amanda and I first celebrate the big news that the “What Women Want Today” podcast has been ranked in the top 5% globally!! Thank you, loyal listeners! Next, I take the hot seat and Amanda guides me through a series of questions designed to determine whether I am well-suited to a career in coaching, speaking, and training. She draws on the work of Mark Savickas, author of the Career Style Interview, who looks at a person’s life as a “novel” being written with clues that lead to themes and unresolved issues that are expressed and healed in their careers. Listen until the end to hear my answers to these questions and see if this process could also HELP you find a dream career:

*Who did you admire when you were growing up?
*What magazines did you read regularly?
*What do you like to do with your free time? What are your hobbies?
*Do you have a favorite saying or motto?
*What were your three favorite subjects in high school? What subjects did you hate?
*What are your earliest recollections?

Living Fully

In this episode, I invite my long time soul sister, Amanda Kieper, to the show. Amanda is a professor of speech and leadership development, a certified John Maxwell coach, and a clinical mental health counselor in Rockford, Illinois. We have a blast discussing:

*How we met and why divorce led us to a deeper connection

*How female friendships grow, evolve, and sometimes dissolve

*How personality impacts communication choices

*The importance of travel and adventure with friends

*Interrupting generational patterns of withdraw and avoidance in midlife

*Self-awareness and blocks to growth

*Grieving the death of your parents

*Designing a life with fewer regrets

*Gottman's emotional bank account and sustainable relationships

*Building resilience

*How growing up in the trailer park influences our perspectives on life and love

Amanda was born and raised in the midwest about 90 minutes from Chicago, IL and 30 minutes from Beloit, Wisconsin. She earned a master's degree from Northern Illinois University in Interpersonal Communication in 1999 and went back for another Ms. Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling after she was diagnosed with panic disorder in 2004. Her passion and personal mission is to help others intentionally design a life with fewer regrets. She works with corporations, schools, and independent clients every month and it's the variety, adventure, and challenge of helping each new person uncover blind spots and reach personal mastery that fuels her flame. Her guiding values for 2023 are to live WHOLEHEARTEDLY in HARMONY with self and others and to cultivate more ORDER and discipline. She currently works at Rock Valley College and Forest City Consulting but dreams of one day living on the beach and continuing to do the work she loves. She enjoys spending time with family and friends and suggests that everyone read, Irving Yalom's, "Momma and the Meaning of Life."

Allison Jayne Ewing, a psychotherapist and EFT practitioner. Being a divorcee herself, she co-founded http://DatingAfterYourDivorce.com a date coaching platform to help women find healthy relationships. (visit her website for a free ebook)
