35. The Incredible Power of Shifting your Mindset and Loving Yourself - with Jevon Wooden

See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

06/06/22 • 63 min

Jevon is a leader, mentor, connector and all around inspiration.
Growing up in extreme poverty in upstate NY, the odds were against him. He found himself going down a negative path with looming jail time and nothing but dead ends in his future.
Somehow, thankfully, just as Jevon faced up to 7 years in jail, he had a sudden awakening, which changed the course of his life and gave him a second chance to rewrite everything.
He found purpose, accountability, hope and most importantly, self worth and self love. He realized that he could change his life, and it was up to him to decide when, where and how to do it.
Jevon never did jail time. Instead, he went on to go to college, then the army, then got an MBA and became a go to expert in cyber security. And now he uses his story and knowledge to help others overcome insurmountable odds and realize their best lives and help them puruse and manifest their dreams..
We talk about many key factors to turning life around, getting what you want, and stepping into a life of purpose and generosity. There's SO much here. It might be my favorite interview so far.
In the interview we cover:

Discovering the power we actually have over our own lives and how it can change your experience completely
Finding spirituality on your own terms and letting go of needing to connect to God through the way we’ve been taught
Why spirituality might be the missing peace to get to self love
How being a leader can help you discover the best version of yourself
Living life for the greatest benefit of all involved and why it will benefit you
How to shift from perfectionism to a finding the lesson mindset
Understanding that failure is a necessary part of success
The importance of believing something is possible in order to make it happen
Approaching success with an attitude of service
Embodying the person you want to be and becoming it
The limitlessness of success and abundance
Why so many people struggle with loving themselves
The simple power of positive statements, compliments and smiling

30. Getting Love Right This Time Around with Relationship Coach Roy Biancalana

See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

03/10/22 • 70 min

If you've been through divorce or a significant break up, you may have some work to do to get into Relationship Shape. Spending the time to understand yourself and the ways you show up in relationships can make ALL the difference between repeating old patterns and attracting a deep, intimate connection that brings incredible joy and fulfillment.

Roy's been there. Through his own relationship journey he learned how to look at himself, get honest and clear about the areas where he wanted to do better and developed a system to help others do the same.

In the interview we talk about:

Why it's not about "finding the right person" but rather looking within
How to know if you're emotionally available and how to know if someone ELSE is emotionally available
Why rebound relationships happen, what they mean and why they usually don't last
Why looking within is the key to healing from break ups and showing up authentically in future relationships
The way your past comes into play in relationships - how it can help and how it can cause problems
How to continue to grow and change while dating
How dating is like sports - it's all about letting go of the past and clearing your mind for success moving forward
Why pain isn't always bad and how to use it to grow and facilitate change
Why understanding what you are feeling is crucial to success in relationships and how to do it
How blame can keep you stuck and why forgiveness is the path to letting go

34. Feeling the Sober Vibes - Getting Real about Going Sober with Courtney Anderson

See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

05/30/22 • 45 min

Ever thought about going sober? I've got several friends and family members who have either drastically cut down or stopped drinking all together. I personally have dialed it back big time from my 20's and 30's. To me, I love the clarity, the way my body feels and the amazing sleep I get!

But there may be things about going sober that you don't know. Like when to do it, or what is the hardest part, what to expect from your body, how long does it take to feel good, how do you know if you have a problem, can you still have fun, will you like yourself? Will you even know yourself?

Courtney Anderson is here to help. She hosts a podcast called Sober VIbes which dives deep into the good, the bad and the just plain hard about going sober. Her frank honesty and incredible sense of humor show us that you CAN get through the really difficult things and not only survive, but thrive.

In the interview we discuss:

Why you don't have to be an alcoholic to want to stop drinking
Why it takes so much energy to be an alcoholic
How you may get to your breaking point with alcohol and what all people who do have in common
The cravings you may get when you quit drinking that you might not be expecting
How to handle if your partner has a drinking issue
What Courtney says about AA and other similar programs
The surprising connection between drinking and eating disorders
Tools to stay on track if you stop drinking

Big life change like divorce can be a challenge - but it’s also an opportunity.

59. Getting off Autopilot and into Soul Aligned Living with JJ Digeronimo

See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

05/14/23 • 45 min

In this episode author JJ Digeronimo gets real about being real with ourselves. So often we can get caught up in the going and doing of life, taking us down a fast moving path where we miss so many of the things that are really important to us and may not even be where we want to be going anyway anymore.
Sometimes, we haven't even checked to see if the life we we are living is aligned with who we are.
JJ shares her story about waking up and connecting with her authentic truth and why it's so important for us to live intentional lives that we love. Her book Seeking is a beautiful way to start, as well as just hearing her talk about how she became connected to herself, found her own inner light and how she helps others do the same.
In the episode we talk about:

The importance of shifting from survival to thriving
How we forget to align life with joy and how to shift back
Why we sometimes forget who we are and why we’re here and how to get back to it
What energetics are and how they can affect your life
How mindfulness can create purpose and fulfillment
Why everyone (including men) should tap into more of their feminine energy hint – it’s about allowing and feeling
Why driving hard makes us feel unfulfilled
How to pull a thought from your head to your heart
How perfectionism keeps us from deep connection

We hit a lot of deep topics, but the heart of our convo centered around when we slow down and connect with ourselves, we give ourselves the opportunity to take stock of who we are and how we want to live, which then gives us the beautiful invitation for transformational change.
We all deserve a soul filling life, but the first crucial part is to slow down and tap in to even know what that is.

42. How to Create and Grow Real Wealth Even After Divorce with Chris Odegard

See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

09/25/22 • 53 min

What if I told you that everything we've been taught about money is wrong? That the best thing you can do to manage and build your wealth is to totally reframe how you think about it?
That's what this conversation with Chris Odegard is all about. Chris believes that we've all been given well meaning, but outdated advice. There are new important ways we can make our money work for us to create and manage significant wealth and freedom, even after divorce.
In the interview we address so many areas of wealth including what being wealthy even means, (hint - freedom!), how we learn about money and why it's not a great place to frame our strategy from, how to get better advice and so many ways we can expand our beliefs and understanding of what's possible financially. Even if we're getting divorced late in life or have experienced significant loss financially. There is always a way to shift that narrative and tangible ways to change our strategy. SO much great info here.
Some of the topics we cover in the interview:

Why being a conventional investor may not build the wealth you think it will
How creating assets that bring in revenue can give you incredible freedom
Why continuing to go to school isn’t always the best way to building wealth
What to do after divorce when your income and revenue streams are diminished
Why changing the way you think about money is the most important first step to building wealth
Why debt isn’t always bad
Working as an employee may not allow you to build the wealth you really want
The reality of your returns and tax benefits from a 401k and why there may be a better way to invest your money
Why the people you hang out with can influence your wealth status
What exactly is passive income and how you can create it
The best ways to expand your knowledge on money and investing
How to calculate the number that makes you rich that’s unique to you
How tax codes determine our investment behavior and how to make them work for you

I am wholeheartedly committed to expanding my own knowledge about money and investing and love getting new perspectives. Every conversation is an invitation to step up and embrace new possibilities and opportunities. I want all women to have freedom to live a life free from worry and stress about money. And we CAN! The first step is to believe it, the second step is to start learning and sharing as much as we can. Take a listen and please share and review. xoxo

In the interview we talk about his new corporate wellness program, how he got so disciplined and motivated, what inspires Charles and how he is inspired by his students.

We also discuss:

How Yoga can reduce healthcare costs for smart businesses
How yoga improves an employees overall health and well being
The power of Meditation

How to be present in your partnerships and why it's so important
What are ways you can enhance your spiritual relationship
My meditation rituals
The challenges of being a type A and ways to manage it

62. Removing Money Blocks, Becoming Financially Empowered and Stepping into your Most Abundant Life with Patti Handy

See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

06/24/23 • 53 min

In this interview with former financial advisor and mortgage broker turned financial coach for divorced, single and widowed women, Patty Handy, we talk all about women and money. From investing to tax strategies, to calling in abundance and overcoming money blocks, we hit every element of how to attrace, build and manage abundance financially and in all elements of life.
In the episode we get into:

How our money story creates our money reality
Why awareness and being honest about your starting point is the key to changing
How financial abundance is available in an infinite amount of ways and we all have the opportunity for it
Creating real financial freedom
How to make your money work FOR you
The one key element to finding your purpose
Why you don't have to be an expert to be able to share your wisdom
How generational beliefs can block your true financial abundance capacity and get lodged into your subconscious
How aligned action fits in to creating abundance and why we are co-creators of our abundant lives
How self worth and our own value of ourselves comes into play in our financial potential
Where our spiritual practice comes in when creating wealth
What a spiritual download looks like and why it's ok if it doesn't make sense in the moment
Why being comfortable being uncomfortable helps us turn obstacles into opportunities

This interview was SO much more than about money and calling in abundance. Money and wealth has so much connection to who we are, what we think we deserve and how we feel. Loved that we went full circle on how it all fits together.
