In today’s conversation, Judy and I dive into the fashion fads that shaped us and how we view fashion today. From bellbottom jeans and go-go boots to conservative wear and big hair, our stories capture the essence of our past. But here's the kicker: writing these stories isn't just about preserving the past; it's about exploring what these memories reveal about us and how they shape our present lives. With curiosity and reflection, we uncover real gems about ourselves. And let me tell you, we're all in for this introspective journey!
This summer, the Sidetracked Sisters will be blogging and talking about topics that resonate deeply with us. We hope they resonate with you too! We'll explore health and wellness, personal development, family, relationships, retirement, hobbies, leisure, and more. Come September, we'll narrow things down based on your feedback.
So, tune in for some juicy writing and fascinating conversations. Let's make the next chapter of our lives the best one yet! Now, here we go…

In today’s conversation, Judy and I discuss the writings the Sidetracked Sisters did this week about "A Funny Memory of Childhood," and let me tell you, the stories were golden! Three of them were about our kids or grandkids, and only one was a personal trip down memory lane. We laughed a lot, reminiscing about these priceless moments. They were fantastic to capture on paper, but here's the kicker: writing these stories isn't just about preserving the past. It's also about digging deep to see what these memories reveal about us and how they still shape our lives today. With a bit of curiosity and reflection, we can uncover some real gems about ourselves. And let me tell you, we're all in for this introspective journey!

In today’s conversation, Judy and I discuss “Giving Yourself Permission”. I read somewhere that answering machines ask you two questions: 'Who are you and what do you want?' Most people live their lives without answering either. So, we have a challenge for you today... Give yourself permission to decide and create your answers!

“If you’re alive, you’re a creative person.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear Today, Judy and I are thrilled to revisit another favorite inspirational book--Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert. If you're ready to ignite your creativity and live a more vibrant life, you're in for a treat. In this episode, Judy and I embrace our curiosity and let go of needless suffering. We dig deeper into some of Gilbert's thoughts on how to live our most creative lives. We'll share personal insights, practical tips, and some of our favorite passages from the book. We'll also discuss how Elizabeth Gilbert knew from a young age that she wanted to be a writer, focusing with unwavering dedication on that goal. Unlike her, Judy and I are generalists, flitting from one interest to another. We'll explore how this approach has its own unique strengths and challenges, and I'll offer a valuable exercise to help you tap into the power of possibility and commit to what’s possible for you. So get ready to be inspired, get curious, and embrace the magic of creativity with us! #SidetrackedSisters #SidetrackedStories #SidetrackedLisa #SidetrackedJudy #LisaHoffmanCoaching #CreativeLiving #BigMagic #ElizabethGilbert #Inspiration #CreativityUnleashed #PodcastEpisode #SidetrackedStories #LiveYourBestLife #BookRecommendations #UnlockYourPotential

Some days you eat salad and go to the gym, some days you eat cupcakes and refuse to put on pants. It's called BALANCE. Throughout the episode, we candidly discuss the moments when joy seems elusive, from the everyday doldrums to the pursuit of genuine fun. While I find joy in the simple pleasures of life, like the companionship of my furry friends during morning walks and the artistry of calligraphy, Michelle explores the complexities of joy and its elusive nature in her own life. We share intimate anecdotes and reflections, inviting you into our journey of self-discovery and exploration of what truly brings us joy. One thing we can all agree on is our skepticism towards the pursuit of 'balance' as a source of joy—it simply doesn't resonate with our lived experiences. So, grab your favorite beverage, cozy up, and join us as we embark on a heartfelt conversation about JOY. I promise it'll be a ride filled with laughter, introspection, and maybe even a few surprises along the way.

Buffering masquerades as a friend, yet it's truly the enemy of progress. It's the subtle skill of evading the present, only to face regrets tomorrow. Today Judy and I are taking a closer look at buffering – you know, those little detours we take when the going gets tough. Imagine this: you're charging ahead toward your goals, full steam ahead. But then, out of the blue, you find yourself sidetracked by activities that offer nothing but temporary relief. People use a variety of "buffers" to soothe: food, alcohol, Netflix. Often it takes the shape of overeating, overdrinking, Netflix binging... sound familiar? Well, fear not, because, on today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of buffering. We'll uncover the sneaky ways it creeps into our lives, and more importantly, how to kick it to the curb. So, grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let's navigate these distractions together.

Remember the days when making friends felt as easy as sharing crayons in kindergarten? Life was simpler, schedules more predictable, and friendships seemed to blossom effortlessly. But then adulthood came knocking, and suddenly, the playground of life became a maze of responsibilities and routines.
Join us as we dive into the perplexing world of adult friendship. From the carefree days of schoolyard camaraderie to the complexities of middle age, we'll explore why making friends as an adult feels like navigating uncharted territory.
In today's episode, Judy and I peel back the layers of this phenomenon. We'll reminisce about the days of dorm life, coffee breaks, and playdates, and ponder why, as the years go by, friendships seem to slip through our fingers like grains of sand. But fear not! We're not here to dwell on the problem; we're here to find solutions.
So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let's embark on a journey to rediscover the art of making friends in the grown-ass world. Because in a world where connection is everything, we refuse to let middle age put a damper on our social lives.

Welcome to episode 168 of the Sidetracked Stories podcast, where we dive into the wisdom of Mark Twain's timeless advice: "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if your job is to eat two frogs, eat the biggest one first."Today, Michelle and I embark on a journey inspired by this quote as we explore the insights from Brian Tracy's book, 'Eat That Frog.' Join us as we dissect the notion of tackling those 'ugly frogs' and devouring even the most daunting challenges head-on. We delve into the concept of having a 'frog-eating partner' and how it can elevate our pursuit of goals. Tune in as we share personal anecdotes and discuss how these principles resonate in our lives, propelling us towards our aspirations and keeping us steadfast on our journey."

As we embark on this literary adventure, we'll briefly overview the book and share why it resonated deeply. But that's just the beginning.

It's a fascinating exploration of human psychology and productivity. Moving forward, we'll focus on the importance of intentionality in our actions. Living with purpose and direction is key to making meaningful progress. And finally, we'll emphasize the value of consistent daily action. It's not just about setting goals; it's about actively working toward them every. single. day.

Buckle up as Judy and I dive into the world of habits, inspired by none other than James Clear's groundbreaking book, "Atomic Habits."
I don't know about you, but when I cracked open this book, it felt like fireworks of revelation were going off in my brain! Each page seemed to hold another "aha moment" just waiting to be discovered.
