In this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, I'm joined by special guest Kim Avery. She is the inspired voice behind the "Pace of Grace" podcast. We discuss the profound shifts that can occur when we pause and listen to the divine whispers directing our path. It is Kim's mission to offer solace from the hectic pace of modern life through bite-sized spiritual information on her show. Kim's pursuit of a life aligned with her spirit is not just shared in theory, but also demonstrated through her dedication to personal spiritual growth and meaningful service.

In this intimate and personal episode of the Doing What Matters podcast, I share a tradition I have upheld for the last few years - sharing a Christmas song that I wrote over three decades ago. With the Christmas season upon us, it is my hope that this tradition will inspire and resonate deeply with you. Through the song titled "I Wonder", we reflect on the emotions and thoughts of Mary and Joseph on the night of Jesus' birth, and how I've related to their humility and ordinariness in my own life. Be present in the moment. Seek out the moments this Christmas season and reflect upon the deeper meaning of the holiday. I hope this episode provides a moment of pause and reflection for you amidst the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. Merry Christmas. On This Episode: 00:00 Teresa shares her Christmas song reflection. 03:25 God chose simple, ordinary people, giving hope. 08:54 Experiencing new wonders as grandchildren bring joy. 10:30 Reflecting on the extraordinary in ordinary life 16:03 Imagine, hope, and gratitude for the extraordinary.

On this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, host Teresa McCloy explores the power of connecting the dots in our life stories. As we approach the end of the year and the holiday season, it's a perfect time to reflect on our experiences and gain insights into ourselves. Teresa shares her own story of a recent vacation with her family and the realization she had about how her father influenced her love for adventure and travel. She reminds listeners to stay curious about their own stories and to be open to learning more about themselves and their connections. Teresa recalls a childhood memory of her father buying a small wooden boat and taking the family on trips to the lake. This sparked her love for travel and adventure, which she had always attributed to her father's work ethic. However, during their recent trip, Teresa realized that her father's desire for adventure and new experiences was just as influential. She connects the dots between her own longing for travel and her father's influence, leading to a greater understanding of herself and her desires. Teresa emphasizes the importance of reflecting on our stories and making connections. She introduces the "my life map now" tool from oneLife Maps, which helps individuals uncover the value in their life stories and see themselves through new eyes. By staying open to learning and resolving past hurts or celebrating successes, we can continue to grow and uncover new aspects of ourselves. Teresa encourages listeners to be curious and approach holiday gatherings with a different perspective, looking for opportunities to gain new insights. For those who have never documented their story, Teresa suggests checking out oneLife Maps and their series of maps that guide individuals through the process of connecting the dots in their life story. Teresa also mentions that in the new year, The REALIFE Process will be launching a community with free resources for further exploration of personal stories. By connecting with others and engaging in conversations about our stories, we can deepen our understanding of ourselves and find support and inspiration along the way. As the holiday season unfolds, she concludes by encouraging everyone to remember that there is value in each person's story and that by connecting the dots, we can find meaning, purpose, and grace in our lives. 00:07 Welcome back to the Doing What Matters podcast.

In this episode of the Doing What Matters podcast, host Teresa McCloy shares her annual tradition of taking a whole day to plan for the year ahead. Teresa emphasizes the importance of living from rest, not rush, and how this planning exercise helps to create a life that truly matters. She walks listeners through the step-by-step process of planning for the year and offers practical insights and tips that can be applied to any business or personal life. Teresa starts by highlighting the significance of community and the power of doing life together. She expresses her gratitude for the listeners who join her on this journey and sets the stage for discussing the planning process for the year ahead. Using a giant 8 by 5 write-on wipe-off calendar, Teresa and her team spent several hours mapping out the events and appointments for the upcoming year. They color-coded different aspects of their business and marked reoccurring events, vacations, retreats, and marketing activities. This visual approach allowed them to see the big picture and set the foundation for their plans. Teresa emphasizes the importance of the "jar of pickles" analogy, where the big rocks are the essential elements that need to be placed in the jar first. By identifying these critical events and aligning them with their vision and goals, Teresa and her team were able to prioritize and ensure that they have a solid plan for the year ahead. She encourages listeners to order a big calendar to gain a visual perspective and begin the process of mapping out their own big rocks for the year. By taking action now and getting ahead of the planning process, they can enter the holidays and the new year with confidence and a clear direction for their businesses and lives. Lastly, Teresa provides a sneak peek into an upcoming community platform launch in January. Listeners are invited to join the community mailing list to be the first to receive updates and access to free content. This new platform will offer resources and support for those who want to live from rest, not rush, and use the real life process framework for creating a meaningful and purposeful life. In conclusion, Teresa's annual planning tradition serves as a reminder of the importance of intentional and strategic thinking. By dedicating time to plan for the year ahead, individuals and businesses can gain clarity, set priorities, and create a roadmap to success. So go ahead, order that big calendar, and start filling it with your big rocks for 2024. Your future self will thank you for it. 01:59 Plan for next year, fill calendar with events. 04:49 Schedule and events organized, color-coded for efficiency. 09:59 Bringing everything together to serve clients. 11:47 Calendar organized, confidence to move forward. 18:01 Summary: Use calendar to plan and prepare. 21:26 Join now for free content in 2024.

In this episode of Doing What Matters, host Teresa McCloy dives into the importance of building meaningful relationships and creating intentional spaces for connections in our lives. As a believer, entrepreneur, and recovering workaholic, Teresa shares her personal journey of living from rest, not rush. She reminds listeners that if they're tired of the constant grind and crave a settled and meaningful life, they're in the right place. Teresa reflects on her recent travels and experiences, highlighting the importance of choosing how we spend our time. She emphasizes her preference for avoiding the word "busy" and instead focuses on making intentional choices that enrich and fulfill her. During her travel, she led a retreat for her church's core leadership team and spoke at a community event in Florida. Teresa recognizes the value of stepping outside of our comfort zones and seeking new relationships and connections. One of the key insights Teresa gained from her recent experiences is the danger of becoming siloed in our own circles. She encourages listeners to approach relationships with open hands and to be intentional about nurturing connections in various areas, such as family, friends, work relationships, community, and long-term friendships. She shares her own journey of expanding her network and the joy she found in connecting with new people. Teresa also emphasizes the importance of nurturing these relationships and being open to where they may lead. Teresa acknowledges that loneliness is a prevalent issue in today's work culture, especially for those who work from home or are entrepreneurs. She encourages listeners to be proactive in seeking connections and not falling into isolation. She shares her personal approach of regularly reviewing her calendar and intentionally making time for people blocks. Whether it's family, friends, colleagues, or new connections, Teresa believes that healthy relationships are vital to a fulfilling life. In conclusion, Teresa invites listeners to join the new REALIFE Process Community, an online space where like-minded individuals can connect, access resources, and support one another in living a more purposeful and intentional life. She explains that the community will cater to various interests, from entrepreneurship to spiritual formation, and will provide opportunities for deepening connections and finding support in a community setting. Teresa concludes by reminding listeners to be open to the extraordinary moments that arise from personal connections and to keep seeking meaningful relationships. 01:20 Practical tools, inspiring stories, community, restful living. 04:55 Shorter time in business mastermind, lost friend, seeking new relationships. 09:19 Seeking pre-determined time for meaningful relationships. 13:23 Reconnecting with old friends brings joy. 17:21 Build great, healthy communities.

She explains that stillness provides an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our inner wisdom and discernment.

In episode 252 of the Doing What Matters podcast, host Teresa McCloy opens up about her recent struggles with feeling overwhelmed and living with her hair on fire. She discusses the pressures she has been facing in her personal and professional life, including the purchase of another company, team adjustments, and the birth of her grandchild. Despite feeling disheartened, Teresa shares her journey of rediscovering balance and finding hope in the form of a 90-day reset. Teresa walks the listeners through her process of resetting and regaining control of her life. She emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with one's core values and needs, and taking the time to reflect on what truly matters. By getting in touch with her being, Teresa is able to create a solid foundation for her actions and decision-making. She discusses the concept of a rule of life and shares her experience of deviating from it, leading to her current state of overwhelm. The second part of Teresa's reset process involves the doing aspect. After reconnecting with her being, she revisits her real life view document, in which she has captured her true self and her values. By reviewing this document, she gains clarity and is able to prioritize her actions based on what aligns with her vision and goals. Teresa encourages listeners to take this opportunity to pause, assess what is working and what isn't, and make intentional choices for moving forward. Throughout the episode, Teresa highlights the transformative power of a 90-day reset. She shares her own personal growth and the positive impact it has had on her life. By taking the time to reset, listeners can break free from the cycle of living with their hair on fire and find ways to live from a place of rest rather than rush. Teresa's vulnerability and hope provide inspiration and practical advice for those who may be feeling overwhelmed and seeking a way out. In the conclusion of the episode, Teresa expresses her renewed sense of purpose and determination as she embarks on the next chapter of her life. She encourages listeners to embrace their own 90-day reset and discover the clarity and peace that come from aligning their actions with their core values. Teresa's true confessions serve as a reminder that everyone faces challenges and setbacks, but with intentionality and a commitment to self-care, it is possible to overcome them and thrive.

In this episode of the Doing What Matters Podcast, hosted by Teresa McCloy, we delve into the profound concept of the rule of life and its integral role in behavioral change. Teresa begins by defining the rule of life as a commitment to living life guided by patterns of behaviors, routines, and rhythms, shaped through discernment in collaboration with one's values and divine design. This rule of life serves as a dynamic framework, assisting individuals in making life decisions and aligning their daily activities accordingly, emphasizing the shift from a human "doing" to a human "being." The journey toward behavioral change is a key theme explored in the episode. Teresa explains that the transformation process starts with recognizing the need for change and then progresses through stages: behavior, routine, rhythm, and spiritual rhythm. It is a thoughtful shift from managing behaviors to establishing new routines and, eventually, embracing these behaviors as practiced rhythms in daily life. Over time, these rhythms become a spiritual practice that fosters a deeper connection with God in the everyday moments of life. Teresa provides personal examples to illustrate these principles. She shares her journey of turning a seemingly selfish desire for a hot tub into a spiritual practice. The daily ritual of enjoying her hot tub became a sacred moment, allowing her to notice the extraordinary within the ordinary. Another example she offers is her practice of capturing everyday moments as extraordinary moments, which has now persisted for nearly 1,900 days. The podcast concludes with practical takeaways. Teresa encourages listeners to reflect on areas in their lives where behavioral change is needed and emphasizes the importance of a rule of life in guiding positive behaviors and rhythms. She reminds us that transformation is an ongoing process, and we must remain vigilant in nurturing our spiritual rhythms. Listeners are invited to join the podcast community and explore further, including information about the coach certification program. Teresa leaves us with a powerful message: "Every ordinary day has an extraordinary moment. You just have to look for them." The Doing What Matters Podcast continues to offer valuable insights and practical guidance for those seeking a life of purpose and rest over rush.

In this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, host Teresa McCloy dives into the valuable insights offered by Michael Gerber's book, "The E-Myth Revisited." She reviews the book's significance in helping individuals (especially those in the coaching profession) understand the critical factors that contribute to the success or failure of businesses. There is a common misconception that expertise in a particular skill automatically equates to effective business management. Teresa introduces the three pivotal roles every business owner should embrace: the Entrepreneur, the Manager, and the Technician. "The E-Myth Revisited" highlights the importance of balancing these roles within a coaching business. The Entrepreneur, characterized by visionary thinking and future-oriented planning, sets the direction and possibilities for the business. The Manager, on the other hand, focuses on creating systems and processes, often resisting change to maintain stability. Finally, the Technician thrives in the present, engaging directly with clients. Teresa breaks down the ideal time allocation for each role, offering practical guidance for coaches looking to effectively manage their businesses. She also introduces the concept of the REALIFE Process's 90-day reset approach, emphasizing the need for visioning and planning to ensure long-term success. Furthermore, Teresa underscores the necessity for coaches to embrace all facets of their business, not solely focusing on client interaction. She invites listeners to explore the upcoming REALIFE Process coach certification program, highlighting the value of joining a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to personal and professional growth. The episode concludes with a reminder that building a coaching business takes dedication and effort but ultimately leads to fulfilling work that aligns with one's values and goals. Teresa provides a glimpse of the exciting developments on the horizon for the podcast and the REALIFE Process community in the upcoming fall season.

What is the difference between a project and a goal, and how might shifting your mindset lead to more action? In this episode, I’m sharing about the second component of the REALIFE Process®–REALIFE Action–and how you can move from dreaming to taking action on what matters to you. We’ll talk about: Why a project mindset will help you do more than dream about what you want How using the tool of the mindmap helps you get your thoughts out of your brain and onto paper Why mindmapping a project can eliminate decision fatigue How pre-deciding action steps can give you focus during chaotic seasons Having dreams for our life is important, but it takes breaking those down into actionable steps if we’re going to make progress and move forward. This episode will give you tools and ideas for how to do just that.

How can the Enneagram help us process through grief and loss? Today, we’re revisiting a past episode of the podcast where I had a conversation with Shawn and Kathleen Loughrige. We talk about how the Enneagram has helped both of our families as we have navigated the loss of both of our sons. On this episode, we'll share openly about: How we all grieve differently The value of huddling together as a family Leaning into grief as a way of healing Holding space for others who are grieving The importance of being gentle with yourself as you grieve Grief is a lifelong journey. It’s not something we move on from but move forward with. As I revisit this conversation several years later, I’m reminded of the healing and inner work that is still taking place for me. I hope our conversation helps you navigate and process your own grief and loss as together, we learn how to practice grief in healthy and authentic ways. Meet this week's guests: Shawn and Kathleen Loughrige live a full and joy-filled life with four children and five grandchildren! They are both pastors on staff at Crossroads Church in Marshall, Michigan. Kathleen is the Connections Pastor and also has her own business, Purpose-Filled Coaching where she offers Enneagram coaching and does Vocational Coaching for the State of Michigan. Shawn is the Missions and Evangelism Pastor, a Varsity High School Football Coach, and retired State Police Commander who served over Violent Crimes, Biometrics and Forensics. Both have the heart to serve with young people and see them flourish and move forward in healthy ways! To connect with Shawn and Kathleen visit: Purpose-Filled Coaching Crossroads Church at ccmonline.org I've Got Your Backs Website or Facebook Page - A foundation established in October 2009 in celebration and memory of Isaac Loughrige.

Are certain self-care practices just a luxury? This week, I’m sharing a practice I’ve done for years–getting a massage. I’ll share why this is important for me, and the role it plays in my life and wellbeing. I’ll talk about: Why I felt resistance to this practice at first, and what led me to try it out How this practice helps me care for my body, and why we often dismiss this aspect of our care How pre-deciding a block of time weekly for my self-care helps me prioritize it What you can do to get started if you have been neglecting self-care What might seem like a luxury is actually essential to caring for my whole self in heart, mind, and body, and it impacts the rest of my everyday life. I hope this episode inspires you to name what you need and to seek out the self-care that will enable you to live out what matters in your life and work.

How can spiritual practices help you create a foundation of rest and growth? In this podcast episode, I’m sharing a book that has been one of the most impactful that I’ve ever read–Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation, by Ruth Haley Barton. I’ll talk about: Why this book came at such a pivotal time in my life The practices from the book that continue to form the foundation of my rhythms, behaviors, and routines Why spiritual formation books are my favorite to read and how they have impacted me How the practices in this book influenced the creation of the REALIFE Process® If you’re in a season of feeling sped up, the genre of spiritual formation books can invite you to internal growth instead of external work. I hope you’ll pick up this book, and I believe it will impact you as much as it did me.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by one of our REALIFE Process® Certified Coaches Annette Bechtold as she shares what this looked like for her. We talk about: Why being able to say a confident “yes” to something doesn’t necessarily make it the right choice What made Annette change course after nearly 40 years in the same industry Why stopping to reflect on your chosen path is so important, even when it appears to be going well How to know when it’s time to make a shift, and how to identify what’s next We also talk about a specific practice to help you name what brings you joy so you can incorporate more of it into your life and work. Annette’s story will inspire you to deliberately choose a life of doing what matters to you, even when it means walking away from a successful career.

What would it mean to do life differently and help others do the same? In this week’s episode, I’m talking with Winston Faircloth, one of our REALIFE Process® Certified Coaches who has dedicated over 40 years of his professional life to nonprofit leadership and technology. We talk about how Winston moved from burnout to doing the inner work to live from rest, and how that impacts the way he shows up with clients. We’ll cover: How Winston recognized his mission statement was neglecting the most important parts of his life What happens when the marketplace doesn’t respond to your “brilliant” idea, and how to pivot Why Winston narrowed his niche to a very small number of people, and the growth that resulted How reviewing the numbers with his accountant led to surprising clarity about Winston’s purpose You’ll be inspired by how Winston first did the hard, inner work for himself, and how that led to incredible growth in his business. If you’re looking to do life and business differently, this episode is for you!
