    118. Open Tasks

    In episode 118, Temetria explains how too many unfinished tasks, or “attention units” (per Jack Canfield), create mental clutter like open browser tabs or a full inbox. She recommends advanced planning and time management to schedule tasks. She also advises getting honest about long-delayed tasks by fixing, donating, reselling, or mentally letting them go; using a paper list divided into 10-minute, 30-minute, and 1-hour+ tasks to knock out items; delegating or hiring help (including TaskRabbit); learning to say no to avoid overcommitting. She also recommends giving yourself grace and celebrating small wins.  00:00 Welcome to Curate Your Life 00:34 What Are Attention Units 02:03 Plan and Schedule Tasks 03:24 Get Honest and Let Go 04:53 Three-Bucket Task List 06:48 Delegate or Hire Help 07:59 Say No to Overcommitment 08:50 Grace Quick Wins and Next Steps 10:18 Course and Community Updates 11:12 Contact and Sign Off Get Simply Curated Click here for Two Simple Steps to Love Your Life.

    117. Fix Your Face

    In episode 117 of the Curate Your Life podcast, Temetria—a single midlife woman focused on creating a bold, purposeful life—shares a reminder to “fix your face,” meaning to pay attention to the mindset and thoughts that show up in your expression. After noticing widespread scowling on a vacation in Italy, she encourages people to tune into their thoughts and how they affect their feelings (ultimately showing up on their faces) and how they can begin to shift those thoughts. Temetria challenges listeners to stop letting small inconveniences dictate their day and to avoid delaying happiness until life is “together,” while also rejecting toxic positivity and honoring real emotions. She suggests reframing situations by asking how you want to feel, and offers a seven-day practice of noticing frustration and choosing thoughts that create more joy. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:36 Fix Your Face Mindset 01:15 Smiling On Purpose 02:46 Italy Vacation Observations 03:42 Agency Over Emotions 05:04 Stop Delaying Happiness 06:24 Seven Day Joy Challenge 06:55 Connect And Work Together 07:38 Closing Goodbye Click here for Two Simple Steps to Love Your Life.

    116. Travel as Personal Growth

    In episode 116 of the Curate Your Life podcast, Temetria connects travel to her “curate your life” process: have a vision, take away what doesn’t fit, and add what does. She explains how travel prompts growth by pushing you outside your comfort zone through new places, cultures, languages, and routines, and shares that she’s currently headed to Italy for the first time with a day in Barcelona, reflecting on how even buying electrical adapters mirrors adapting what you already have rather than starting over. She encourages listeners to see personal growth as something that can be exciting, like planning a trip, and offers updated travel tips: unpack immediately, keep a ready-to-go toiletries bag, pack a versatile makeup palette and brushes, hang clothes upon arrival, check weather and pack layers, use fresheners and organizers, bring flight comfort basics, always ask for upgrades, fly early, and try the “Sudoku packing method” via @jeanwang on Instagram. 00:00 Podcast Intro 00:34 Travel as Life Curation 01:19 Growth Outside Comfort Zone 02:53 Italy Trip and Adapters 05:35 Plan Your Dream Trip 07:49 Growth Can Be Fun 08:24 Updated Travel Tips 09:34 Packing and On-the-Go Essentials 11:52 Upgrades and Early Flights 12:56 Packing Hack and Wrap Up Click here for Two Simple Steps to Love Your Life.

    115. Identity Shift

    In episode 115 of the Curate Your Life podcast, Temetria explains that if you know what you want but still feel stuck, it’s because your identity hasn’t shifted to match your dream life, and you can’t get new results while protecting the routines, habits, commitments, and beliefs that created your current life. Using examples like marathon training and entrepreneurship, she emphasizes starting with “I am” statements and repeatedly taking aligned actions until they become ingrained. Temetria discusses how discomfort is required for growth and how the brain confuses unfamiliar change with danger, recommending outside perspective through coaching and inviting listeners to schedule a consultation, leave a review, and join the Facebook group. 00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:33 New Recording Setup 01:25 Why You Feel Stuck 03:33 Identity Shift Mindset 04:43 Power of I Am 06:11 Build Habits Daily 07:08 Discomfort Drives Growth 08:04 Brain Safety Stories 10:38 Coaching and Next Steps 10:52 Reviews and Community 11:34 Final Sign Off Click here for Two Simple Steps to Love Your Life.

    114. What Are You Waiting For?

    In episode 114 of the Curate Your Life podcast, Temetria urges midlife women to stop waiting for circumstances—relationships, money, energy, weight loss, kids growing up, a better job, or the “perfect time”—before they start living. She shares her own experience of marrying at 37, divorcing in her early 40s, grieving the life she expected, and realizing she had to turn from “why did this happen?” to “what do I want now?” She explains that acceptance is not giving up but stopping the fight with reality and choosing what comes next, emphasizing intentional “curation” by identifying what you want more of and less of. She offers an exercise: complete “I will really start living when…,” identify what you hope it will give you, and find ways to create that feeling now, ending with prompts to choose one thing you’re waiting for and one small step to begin today. 00:00 Welcome to Curate Your Life 00:34 Stop Waiting to Live 01:15 When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned 02:16 Grieving the Life You Expected 03:36 Turning Toward the Path Forward 05:32 Acceptance Isn’t Giving Up 06:50 Curate Your Life on Purpose 08:04 Midlife Is Your Advantage 08:45 The Waiting For Exercise 09:54 How I Rebuilt After Divorce 11:42 Create Your Life Now 12:34 Final Questions and Wrap Up Click here for Two Simple Steps to Love Your Life.

    113. CYL Process - Deep Dive Pt 3

    Curate Your Life, Step 3: Add and Enhance What Supports Your Vision In episode 113 of the Curate Your Life podcast, Temetria continues her deep dive into the Curate Your Life process by explaining step three: adding or enhancing what’s needed to create your detailed vision after clarifying the vision (step one) and eliminating what doesn’t fit (step two). Using a wardrobe example, she encourages listeners not to settle for “perfectly fine” items that don’t match the feeling of their vision.  She extends this approach to people, advising spending more time with those who uplift and inspire and distancing from those who don’t. She also highlights choosing daily experiences and “stuff” based on how they make you feel, revisiting the vision regularly, and improving life gradually rather than doing a complete overhaul, and invites listeners to connect on Instagram or schedule a 15-minute call.
