My Favorite Podcasts Today

I really love to listen to podcasts on my ride to and from work, especially as I am so sick of pop music radio again.  I go into waves of hating the radio and I'm on one right now.  I feel like they play the same music over and over again.  For music, I'm a huge fan of Spotify and Pandora, as well as whatever Phoebe downloads when she gets an iTunes gift card, LOL.

Back to talking about podcasts...  I have more that I like than I can ever listen to in a week of commute time, so sometimes I also listen when I'm cleaning the house.  I'd also really like to spend more time with the Coffee Break French podcast, but that would require creating another 20 hours in the week!  Here are my current favorite podcasts:

The Chalene Show - One of the reasons I decided to become a Beachbody coach is that I already listen and follow a lot of Beachbody coaches and trainers.  Her shows are truly wonderful and the topics have been spot on, especially the ones on how to increase focus and find your power hour.



Find Your Tribe - I just started listening to this today.  It's another Chalene Johnson show.  This one is more about tips to build your business.

The Daily Boost - I used to be a paying Motivation to Move Member for the past year and a half.  Then this became free and moved to The Daily Boost podcast.  I really love Scott Smith and his plain spoken, common sense way of talking.  Hopefully, he'll bring back a show with his wife Joi.  She is super fabulous and has lots of knowledge on exercise and nutrition.

The Tim Ferris Show - He's the writer of the 4-Hour Work Week.  I haven't had a chance to listen to this in the past few weeks, but his interviews are usually really good.  I loved his Tony Robbins interview, which came in two parts.

NPR Marketplace - When I listen to the radio, I will listen to NPR for the news.  I don't get to listen to Marketplace anymore as it's radio time is 6:30 PM, when we're smack dab in the middle of dinner time, not driving home from work like I used to when we were pre-kid.  Sometimes in the morning, I'll listen to the prior evening's podcast of Marketplace and I feel like I'm not missing a thing.

America's Test Kitchen, Ted Radio Hour and The Mighty Mommy's Quick and Dirty Tips for Practical Parenting also all appeal to me, but I have less time to listen to them and pick and choose the specific podcast articles that appeal to me.

I also almost forgot a recent downloaded podcast I need to listen to, the Team Beachbody Coach podcast.  I'm looking forward to listening to that regularly as I look to grow this part of my business.

By the way, I listen to podcasts on my old iPod classic that has a ton of space (160GB) to put as much music and podcasts on it.  It works like a champ and I refuse to retire it because it works so well! I have an iPad and an iPhone 5, but I still can't let go of my ancient relic of an iPod!!!

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...
