    Ep.169 The Friendship Challenge for Grown-*ss Adults

    Ep.169 The Friendship Challenge for Grown-*ss Adults

    Remember the days when making friends felt as easy as sharing crayons in kindergarten? Life was simpler, schedules more predictable, and friendships seemed to blossom effortlessly. But then adulthood came knocking, and suddenly, the playground of life became a maze of responsibilities and routines.

    Join us as we dive into the perplexing world of adult friendship. From the carefree days of schoolyard camaraderie to the complexities of middle age, we'll explore why making friends as an adult feels like navigating uncharted territory.

    In today's episode, Judy and I peel back the layers of this phenomenon. We'll reminisce about the days of dorm life, coffee breaks, and playdates, and ponder why, as the years go by, friendships seem to slip through our fingers like grains of sand. But fear not! We're not here to dwell on the problem; we're here to find solutions.

    So grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let's embark on a journey to rediscover the art of making friends in the grown-ass world. Because in a world where connection is everything, we refuse to let middle age put a damper on our social lives.

    Ep.168 How Do You Eat Your Frogs?

    Ep.168 How Do You Eat Your Frogs?

    Welcome to episode 168 of the Sidetracked Stories podcast, where we dive into the wisdom of Mark Twain's timeless advice: "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if your job is to eat two frogs, eat the biggest one first."Today, Michelle and I embark on a journey inspired by this quote as we explore the insights from Brian Tracy's book, 'Eat That Frog.' Join us as we dissect the notion of tackling those 'ugly frogs' and devouring even the most daunting challenges head-on. We delve into the concept of having a 'frog-eating partner' and how it can elevate our pursuit of goals. Tune in as we share personal anecdotes and discuss how these principles resonate in our lives, propelling us towards our aspirations and keeping us steadfast on our journey."

    Ep.167 Exploring "The 12 Week Year"

    Ep.167 Exploring "The 12 Week Year"

    Today Judy and I are excited to delve into the wisdom found within the pages of "The 12 Week Year" by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington.
    As we embark on this literary adventure, we'll briefly overview the book and share why it resonated deeply. But that's just the beginning.
    Thinking back to our previous discussion on the emotional triad, we'll explore how "The 12 Week Year" concepts intersect with our innate desires for pleasure, avoidance of pain, and efficiency.
    Then, within our reflections, we'll confront a common hurdle: the allure of comfort. We'll discuss how stepping out of our comfort zones is often necessary to achieve our goals and dreams. It's a fascinating exploration of human psychology and productivity.
    Moving forward, we'll focus on the importance of intentionality in our actions. Living with purpose and direction is key to making meaningful progress.
    And finally, we'll emphasize the value of consistent daily action. It's not just about setting goals; it's about actively working toward them every. single. day.

    Ep.164 Do You Have Atomic Habits?

    Ep.164 Do You Have Atomic Habits?

    Buckle up as Judy and I dive into the world of habits, inspired by none other than James Clear's groundbreaking book, "Atomic Habits."

    I don't know about you, but when I cracked open this book, it felt like fireworks of revelation were going off in my brain! Each page seemed to hold another "aha moment" just waiting to be discovered.

    To prep for today's episode, I went down the rabbit hole of Clear's wisdom. I listened to interviews, read articles, and guess what? It's like peeling an onion—every layer reveals something more profound!

    But here's where things get juicy. When Clear was asked about the one thing he wished he emphasized more in his book and what extra chapter he'd add, our curiosity was piqued. And guess what? We're sharing those insights with you today!

    So, if you're ready to turbocharge your habits, and your life, join us as we unpack these gems with enthusiasm, laughter, and maybe even a dash of wild inspiration!
