Ep 18: Exploring suicide, family secrets & monsters with author Sandra Rostirolla...

Today on Living Big Mindfully we are exploring suicide, family secrets, and monsters with author Sandra Rostirolla.

A heavy & important topic for sure

Here in the US, we are seeing increased rates of suicide particularly in our younger populations. Furthermore, the ripple effects of suicide or suicide attempts are devasting.

This conversation with author and mental health advocate Sandra is warm, heartfelt, open, and honest...

As women, we were both raised in families with “secrets”, we connect, share our perspectives, and offer listeners a glimmer of hope.

Sandra has a powerful, lived experience with suicide - so we begin with a bit about her story...

Then we dive in and talk about:

The power of family secrets
Breaking the silence
The importance of honesty & accessing care

Throughout the show, Sandra shares tips & strategies to help with:

Breaking cycles
Improving communication
And what we might say to someone after a loss...

Of course, Sandra wraps up offering us some sage advice... pertinent for all the aspiring writers out there😊

See the show notes for links to connect you with information about suicide, suicide prevention, and, of course, Sandra’s book – Making Friends with Monsters...

Remember, suicide is preventable. Communication, advocacy, education, and access to quality care are vital. We hope you find this conversation helpful.
Here's more about Sandra:

My family has a long history of suicide (my father when I was thirteen & two brothers some years later). I wrote Making Friends with Monsters - offering children and parents a language where they feel comfortable talking about feelings and emotions that often get buried because no one knows how to begin the conversation.

Ep 20: Exploring money, retirement & financial preparedness with money educator Brittany Ballard...

Today on Living Big Mindfully we are exploring money, retirement & financial preparedness with money educator Brittany Ballard

Brittany is a Senior broker at Wealthwave who’s helping people from all walks of life get their financial houses in order.

So, why are we talking about money today? Well, three things:

I believe financial health is a huge part of our overall wellness.
Poor financial health can affect our ability to live intentionally.
And, these are learnable skills – it’s never too late to learn...

Coincidently, this is a topic that’s close to both our hearts – we both have powerful origin stories about money - which is probably why we connected.

So, whether you are scratching nickels or fairly well off. This conversation has something for everyone...

Brittany starts out by sharing a bit about her personal story and her why...

Then we dive in, talking about money. Learn about:

Managing debt
Saving
The power of paying yourself first
Why social security might not be enough...

Then we focus specifically on women’s financial health - with some stats, forecasts, and strategies to get you heading in the right direction.

What if you’re a late starter? No problem. We cover that too...

This episode is packed with actionable tips & strategies. And Brittany rounds it all off with some insightful sage advice...

As always, you’ll find links to everything in the show notes – including access to your gift copy of the book The How Money Works - Which is a must-read!

Brittany and I connected so deeply about this topic – I am excited to announce that Brittany has agreed to do a Money Part II – so stay tuned for more about money, financial preparedness, and how the heck it all works!

Here's more about Brittany:

She's a Senior broker at Wealthwave - The How Money Works Company...
Brittany was previously a dental hygienist who wanted more from life/business. She comes from middle American family who dealt with many financial challenges and learned the hard way through some of them. Brittany says she is thankful for the hard times because "they have helped me to teach and help others..."
