You've hit midlife and you are pondering some changes... you're making decisions (or you want to be able to make some decisions!). It's easy to get stuck in indecision and wonder whether that gut feeling you had actually makes sense to try, or whether it's more responsible to talk yourself out of it. David K. Richards, micro school founder and life coach, joins me today to share with us his principles for navigating these decision-making challenges. You'll hear us talk about: 30 days of liste...

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) is sneaky. If you're a woman with a job, a household, kids, activities, or any combination of the above, raise your hand if you don't ever get tired... I'll wait... We all get tired. Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, ND, joins me today to help us figure out whether that tiredness is simply a signal to us that we need to treat ourselves better or whether it's CFS/ME, which is a complicated syndrome that is sometime difficult to understand....

Relationships are all about trust - whether we're talking about work relationships, family relationships, parent/child relationships, or partner relationships. Not only does that mean that trusting each other is important, it also means that self-trust is key. We need to be able to recognize our emotions, be present in the moment, and be truthful about what we are thinking and feeling. How can we improve? Courtney Clifford, psychotherapist, joins me this week to share with us the power ...

It's a trend lately to slide money or a gift card anonymously into a diaper box or some other product in a store. Why? Let's talk about it. Your relationship with money if often about difficultly or scarcity. That tends to come from our money stories and experiences we have in childhood. One way to start healing that relationship is the give money away - and do it anonymously. It's not about being thanked, it's about doing something good for someone else and at the same time...

This episode is a life-changer. Amy Kemp joins Cheryl today to talk about the "should" energy we often use on ourselves. I have to... I need to... I should... These are obligation statements coming from our subconscious beliefs about what life should look like. How can we switch to, "I get to...," or "I want to..."? Amy shares a visual and a verbal method to interrupt our thought habits. If we're not going to "should on ourselves" then how can we make decisions in life...

Affirmations are one of my favorite tools for transforming your mindset and belief about various aspects of your life. But, if your brain immediately argues with you as soon as you affirm something about great success or exciting things happening, you are losing the benefit of the affirmation.

What to do? Include a "but" in the middle!

Today I'm sharing a method for creating affirmations that you actually CAN believe, get excited about, and use over and over again to start moving toward to you...

Perspective is powerful. We all look at the world through a lens of our own experiences and our own core beliefs - about how the world works, our abilities, what's possible, etc.

So, how can we change that perspective if we see that we're holding ourselves back or if we'd like to grow and change?

We can use powerful questions.

Luann Horobin, Executive & Leadership Coach, joins me today to explain what exactly powerful questions are - and why they can help us.

If you think about it, you may f...

Do you get creative ideas or solve a tough problem while doing something else, like walking, showering, driving, doing the dishes, etc.? I definitely do.

Today I'm sharing with you WHY that happens (hint: your subconscious brain is occupied), and HOW to actually remember that great idea that can flit away quickly.

I like to text myself! :)

We can also throw it all the way back to episode 2 and the benefits of walking, because the two things are very much linked.

Let me know what you do to re...

When you get dressed in the morning, do you think about how you are presenting yourself throughout the day? Are you happy with what you see?

You'll hear us talk about choosing five adjectives to describe how you'd like to come across to the world - and then how to put that in practice with your clothing and accessories choices. I found this to be such a fu...

If you are picking up a sport or activity for fun... for relaxation... for moving your body, and you don't necessarily want to compete at a high level, are you able to also avoid being overly pessimistic and negative when the game doesn't go so well? I catch myself regularly being WAY too hard on myself when just playing a friendly game - and in today's episode I'm talking about golf and pickleball, for example. What we speak about and expect is what our brains look for. So, if you are ...

Do you wake up ready to enjoy the day or do you wake up with dread and worry? We all have some bad days, but if your thought habit is to immediately spiral into worry thoughts as soon as you open your eyes, this habit will affect your energy, you mood, your personal interactions, and even your health over time. The good news? You can change your morning attitude habit. This week I'm walking you through a very simple morning routine that will shift your mindset to be open and ready for a good ...

Do you struggle with how to trust your instincts? I have a treat for you today - listener feedback! Jill from the US shared that she often struggles between trusting her gut and listening to her intuition versus being empathetic and looking at things from another perspective.

We all want to sleep through the night, or even fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, or even be able to get back to sleep easily when we wake up, right?

Cherie Tripp joined me for episode 22 of OMG Teach Me (listen here) and gave some great tips for sleep hygiene and healthy sleep. After that episode, questions came up about hunger at night. What should we do if we wake up hungry?

Well, there's an easy answer: hydrate.
