[185] How to Escape the Body Comparison Trap This Summer Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

One of the things that I absolutely love about the summertime is going to the beach. And whenever I go to the beach, I will catch myself looking around and seeing some other women and their cute little swimsuits and thinking, "Oh, well, I don't look as good as she doesn't my swimsuit." Or "I wish I could wear a swimsuit like that, but my stomach would look terrible in that."
Then I start going down this rabbit hole of comparing my body to everyone else's. And you've probably been there and have gotten into this comparison trap, especially when it comes to your bodies. But I want you to know, first of all, that you're not alone.
Today, I'm going to share with you some tips on how we can do better about this comparison game with my guest. We are breaking down some of the ways that we can escape the body comparison trap this summer. So if you're like me, and you want to do better about this comparison trap, stay tuned to this episode.

Summertime comes wanting to try out some new hobbies, whether it is indoors or outdoors.
I'm pretty sure the kids have probably asked you to go ahead and buy a canoe or buy some new rackets to play racquetball or tennis. Or maybe they wanted to do some knitting or build a Lego castle. And while all of that sounds like a whole lot of fun, it comes with a price. And it comes with space. You have to have somewhere to put all of the stuff that comes with these hobbies. So what are you going to do?
How are you going to try out some new hobbies, but not have the house be a cluttered mess? That's what we're going to talk about in this episode.

[181] Empowering Your Kids About Money May 24, 2022

Show notes

Send me a text

53% of adults are financially anxious. That is a statistic that makes me nervous. It also makes me uneasy to think that my kids could grow up to be a part of the statistic.
The truth is we can teach our kids financial literacy so that they know how to budget and have emergency savings for a rainy day. But where do you start if you have no clue?
Start with this episode.
In this episode, my guest breaks things down to be the simplest form when it comes to talking to our kids about money. My guest is Dr. Caroline Clerisme who is known for helping doctors get a game plan and pay off their student loan debt. In this episode, she shares:

How we can start to talk to our kids about money
How we can start to introduce those conversations, especially if we're not confident in finances.
The difference between financial freedom and generational wealth, and why it's so important for us to be working towards both of those things.

So if you're like me and want to get a bit better at having these conversations with your little ones, stay tuned to this episode.
ABOUT CAROLINE
Dr. Caroline Clerisme is a general dentist, wife, mommy, and author. She is also the founder of Doctors out of Debt, a company that helps doctors get out of debt and create generational wealth. Dr. Clerisme received her doctorate degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Clerisme has been on several podcasts and is an avid speaker at several professional schools and business clubs regarding debt repayment and generational wealth. She is also an entrepreneur and investor and has several businesses that she operates. When Dr. Clerisme is not seeing patients, coaching doctors or writing children's books, she can be found spending quality time with her husband and daughter.
