The Cup of Glo Podcast

What can we do to make our lives better? We can start with being kind to ourselves. You may have spent a good amount of time being kind to others including your spouse, your kids, other family members, friends and co-workers. You get the idea. Along the way you may have forgotten that you need kindness too. You need to be kind to yourself. Today we’ll discuss 5 ways to kind to yourself. Remember your flaws give you style and personality. Accept that rejection proves you’re doing something courageous. Life is too short to “should” on yourself. Find your Spark Team of people who think you’re awesome, and Be Bold – Live your life your way! Thank you for listening to The Cup of Glo Podcast.

Sue Healy is a 73-year-old belly dancer. That may seem incongruous, but Sue says, “I don’t care. I am not wasting any time getting on with my life.” Tallahassee has been her home since she came to Florida State University as a freshman 56 years ago. Sue grew up on a small farm near the edge of the Everglades, in Miami. Her mother taught her to draw and be self-reliant. Her father taught her how things worked and how to write. In addition to being a dancer, I she is a painter, a gardener, a writer, an editor, and most importantly, she is fearless. Sue’s strengths helped save her when she was diagnosed with metastatic cancer three years ago. She had a horrendous surgery, daily chemo and radiation and spent two months in the hospital. When she could not walk, she dreamed of dancing again and made it happen. The day she was discharged she went to the gym with her hot pink glitter walker and climbed on the treadmill. Sue said, “Cancer taught me how many friends I have, how to let go of pride and accept help, what is really important, and how strong my mind and faith really are.” Sue’s outlook on life is be healthy, happy and strong and embrace change as another metamorphosis.

  A few months ago, over a period of 5 weeks, we published a series called, 5 Keys to Happiness in Retirement. Based on the feedback we received, we decided to provide you with an abridged version of the 5 Keys regardless of your retirement status. You may consider yourself too young to think about retirement, or you’re thinking about retirement and started planning or you’re well into retirement but can appreciate a few pointers anyway. Happiness is the best state of being for all of us. Have you ever noticed that there are certain people who seem to be happy and in control all the time? It seems as if stressful situations bounce off them rather than knock them down. Do you want to be one of them?

How many women do you know with the deep understanding of their faith as well as with the ability to communicate their knowledge with us in a comfortable and easy manner? In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re exploring various positions women hold in church leadership. I grew up in a Baptist Church and as child I was accustomed to seeing only men as pastors of the churches in my local area. Times have certainly changed. It is now commonplace for women to be pastors of churches. It is my honor to discuss some of the leadership roles of women in churches, with our guest Pastor Doris Simpson, from Polished After the Furnace International Ministries, located at 1230 Blountstown Street, Tallahassee FL Pastor Simpson was born and raised in Perry Fl. She is the mother of five and grandmother to two. She was called into ministry in 2003 as a Prophetess. In 2018, she was given the vision for Polished After the Furnace International Ministries. Additionally, she is the owner of: CosMe The Experience (hair salon), Paideia Academy (private school), and Accurate Collection (drug screening).

When did you mark your last milestone? What was it? Your milestones are significant events in your life. While there is no special time for any milestone what is important is, what you are marking something of interest. It could be the beginning of something new or the ending of something accomplished.

When was the last time you felt joyful? What have you done recently that’s contributed to your happiness? Babs Plunkett is a passionate advocate for positive aging. To help herself and others live joyfully, she became a Life Coach and Certified Professional Retirement Coach. As the best-selling author of Choose Joy: Three Keys to Investing Your Time in Retirement, she interviewed over 100 people across the country, gaining their inspiration and insights on positive aging. Babs said, “The original source of my passion for aging well was my crabby grandma who moved in with us when I was 13 years old and her unhappy presence made a lifelong impression on me.” For the next four decades, Babs studied positive aging and paid attention to people who chose joy. She asked those who were living joyfully if they had always been that way. Were they upbeat as a kid or did they decide to be positive? Babs has indicated that she felt genuine relief to learn we’re not destined to crabbiness. Aging well is a choice. We can choose joy.

Kelly McGrath Law is here to help you. Let’s Get You Some Financial Peace! If you’re barely able to pay your bills, or if you’re falling behind, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault. The country is going through a crisis and we want you to feel supported. You can get out of this financial struggle with help and you do not have to shoulder this alone. Family and friends are often more understanding than you might think! Talk to those you love and share the burden of your financial stress. And if you’re depressed or thinking of suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. This struggle is temporary and there are places you can go to help with your financial burden. If the amount you owe has become an overwhelming burden in your life, here’s how filing for bankruptcy gives you a fresh start and lets you breathe again: Bankruptcy is a legal process that can wipe out or restructure many of your debts. Your current income level determines what kind of bankruptcy you qualify for. Either your unsecured debt is forgiven (Chapter 7 Bankruptcy), or restructured on manageable, low-interest terms (Chapter 13 Bankruptcy). Filing immediately protects assets you depend on such as your home and the vehicle you need. Bankruptcy also protects your wages from being garnished by any credit card companies After bankruptcy is complete, credit for high-ticket necessities can become available as quickly as within 3 months. Mortgages no later than 4 years. Here’s what you need to know about repossession: The state can legally repossess a vehicle after just ONE delinquent payment. The creditor does NOT have to notify you or take you to court to repossess your vehicle. They can just come get your car anytime if you’re behind on payments, without notice. Here’s the deal with falling behind on your house payment: A mortgage lender has to file a lawsuit to begin foreclosure. The homeowner will receive a summons if this happens, and they’ll have 20 days to respond before the foreclosure happens. If you’re struggling to make ends meet, get support – call for a free consultation about your debt Kelly McGrath, Esq. – (850) 273-8698 – website www.kellymcgrathlaw.com Or, if you just want to talk to someone about other legal problems and get some advice, call Kelly McGrath, Esq. at (850) 273-8698. Kelly is trained in Nonviolent Communication and will give you compassionate legal counsel focusing on your needs.

What are some indicators of wealth you had growing up? A friend asked me that question recently. At first, I thought It’s all about money, Millions and billions of dollars. If you define wealth as living in a mansion, owning a private jet and having a personal banker at your beck and call then my family was definitely not wealthy. If you describe wealth as having enough food and clothing, comfortable housing, and loving parents then I experienced wealth growing up as well as continued the happy family life with my own kids. The reality is, that your interpretation of wealth is unique to you. Think about your ideas about money when you were in your twenties or thirties compared to your fifties and sixties. The amount of cash, also known as money, is the greatest measure of success, wealth, and a fabulous life in our society. However, counting your cash, flaunting it or even hording it does not guarantee happiness or fulfillment. For that, you need to build relationships with family and friends, find hobbies and interests to explore or purpose your purpose. Spend your retirement years using your cash to enjoy the life it can provide. Ask yourself, how can I serve rather than how much cash do I have? Today’s program was brought to you by Replay Fitness, Inc. offering life transition and retirement coaching services. Your transition may be a job change, divorce, widowhood, empty nest or retirement. If you’re ready to own your power, feel good again or develop your retirement mindset, for your best phase yet.

Ray Lewis is attributed with the quote: “Before anything great is really achieved, your comfort zone must be disturbed.” Are you cheating yourself or holding yourself back due to fear or getting too comfortable? As you move through your 2nd or 3rd Act or 4th Quarter, open yourself to change, try new things, get out of your comfort zone. The following are two quotes from anonymous, for your consideration: “By leaving your comfort zone behind and taking a leap of faith into something new, you find out who you are truly capable of becoming.” “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” Today’s program was brought to you by Replay Fitness, Inc. offering life transition and retirement coaching services.

Have you ever noticed that certain people seem to be content and in control all the time? It seems as if stressful situations bounce off of them rather than knock them down. Even in retirement they appear happy, joyful and free. It’s never too late for you to have contentment in your life as well. First, you need to start identifying what you want… and why you believe you will be happier if you have it. Will it really make you happy? Or will you just get it, have a temporary period of happiness, and then start desiring something else? After you identify your desires, the next step is to find out if they are YOUR desires or if you’ve been programmed to think you want them. The good news is you have a choice. Happiness is a choice! You can learn to control your emotions so you can feel good NOW, no matter what’s going on in your life. I know, this sounds really hard. When things are going on around you that are painful or scary or stressful, it can be hard to find your footing and remember that there are things you can do to be happy in the moment while creating contentment for the longer term. Today’s program was brought to you by Replay Fitness, Inc. offering life transition and retirement coaching services. Your transition may be a job change, divorce, widowhood, empty nest or retirement. If you’re ready to own your power, feel good again or develop your retirement mindset, for your best phase yet.

Imagine, the clock reads, 11 pm, when you answer your cellphone. You’re startled. Your heart is pounding in your chest. In your head, “OMG!” you answer, “Is everything okay?” Your adult son replies, Yeah, everything is okay. He laughs, you relax and he continues, you’re so busy that your own child has to wait until bedtime to just say hello. Some of you may think that a call just to say hello at 11pm is a problem. I say, it’s a good problem to have when you’re transitioning from pre-to post retirement. That says that you were out and about doing interesting and hopefully new things. In Episode 32 we discussed cultivating community for your social well-being in retirement. Another step as you go from pre to post retirement is to celebrate curiosity, that will lead you to new discoveries and a new you. Once you retire and the outward trappings of what you did and who you were while doing it go away, you must find other ways of presenting yourself and getting the validation you need. Look at it as, you’re now a clean slate. You can start over and be whoever you want and do whatever you want. You may even find your true self and like yourself so much that change is not an option. You can now release your inner artist, dancer, jewelry designer, author, singer, small business owner, foster parent or fulfilled grandparent. Post-retirement is the best time to celebrate curiosity. You now have the time and money to experiment with the various interests and projects that you’ve previously set aside in deference to work. You may overlap the steps of cultivating community and celebrating curiosity as you re-frame your identity.

Imagine, that you’re taking a break from checking your morning email when you notice the retirement countdown clock, at the corner of your desk. The clock was a joke from one of your actively retired friends, 2 years earlier. At this moment the clock reads, 665 Days, 7 Hours, 30 Minutes and 40 Seconds. You’re suddenly in a state of panic. Financially, you’re good to go. All annuities are sufficiently funded, your Social Security strategy is in place, and your checking, savings and emergency fund accounts are just where you want them. Dave Ramsey, Chris Hogan and Suze Orman would have no issues with you. However, you’ve neglected to plan your transition from pre-retirement to post-retirement activities. What are you going to do? How are you going to feel the first morning after the giddiness of your retirement party has worn off and you wake up with freedom from your alarm clock, a morning commute or even a scheduled team meeting? You are not alone. On this podcast, we always provide opportunities to recognize and celebrate birthdays with our listeners by offering a fun story or fun birthday trivia. Today’s birthday trivia is: Noisemakers were used to scare away evil spirits and demons on someone’s birthday.
