208. The Four Tendencies - Learn How To Motivate Yourself

If you've ever wondered how you can better motivate yourself, this episode about The Four Tendencies is for you! Sammie and Michelle are big fans of The Four Tendencies.  Sammie is an Upholder and is the go to person to get things done, for herself and for anyone in her life. Michelle is a Rebel. She does not like to be told what to do, whether that's from the outside or even listening to herself. They also cover Questioners (needing to know the why) and Obligers (better at meeting outer expectations) in this episode. Sammie and Michelle found that understanding their tendency was a huge key in unlocking their own success.

198. The Final Push: There Are Only 60 Days to Level Up

The holiday season can quickly derail our year's progress as we face an onslaught of parties, rich foods, and shopping obligations from mid-October through December. Instead of letting these final months become a slide into chaos, this episode explores how to create a strategic game plan to maintain our healthy habits and stay focused on our goals. By setting clear boundaries and prioritizing rest during the holiday rush, we can finish the year strong rather than starting over in January.

193. The Financial Barriers to Escaping Domestic Violence & The Resources Available with Rychelle Moses

Rychelle Moses is a relationship coach and Doctoral Candidate in the Criminal Justice department with a focus on domestic violence and sexual assault. She has worked as a domestic violence victim's advocate and prevention specialist. 

Sammie and Michelle brought on Rychelle to discuss the financial barriers to escaping domestic violence because we believe it's an under appreciated struggle of people who find themselves in domestic violent situations. In speaking with Rychelle, we realized we hadn't even begin to consider all the details involved. Rychelle also shared the myriad of resources available to people in this situation and ways to give if you are looking to donate and support a domestic abuse shelter in your area.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month - Sammie and I encourage you to consider donating to your local shelter if you feel inspired by this episode. For our friends in South Carolina, we recommend My Sister’s House!

Also, if you’re listening to this the day it comes out, Rychelle is hosting a free Confidence Workshop on tomorrow, October 2nd, for any person who is interested - Sign up here: https://lu.ma/28af8aeh
