Conversations Worth Having

Greetings! We are so glad you are with us again today. As a 40 year old woman who is just an average human trying to survive, I want to leave you with 12 different tips on how to stop living in the past. This has been extremely important for me lately because I have learned and grown a lot over the last three months. Growth is painful but the same goes for staying stuck in the past and the inabili...

In this podcast we are focusing on 20 different things we can do to find more joy in our lives. This is specifically for women over 40, BUT can also apply to men as we all are ultimately looking for the same things; connection, healing, love, joy and good health. I am hoping the 20 things you can apply today will bring you value, clarity and some ideas on how to find joy in your life daily. We are...

Today we are focusing on ten things we need to learn by the age 40. 1.) Life will humble you if it already hasn't 2.) 9 out of 10 of us are not Princesses, you need to understand that especially as a woman....I will explain in the podcast. 3.) No one is coming-SAVE YOURSELF! (But how you may ask...listen until the end) 4.) Get into Real Estate-Best Money and flexibility for Homeschoolers (I ca...

In this podcast we are focusing on forgiving ourselves for the mistakes we have made and the mistakes we are yet to make. I overdosed at the age of 16 and it almost took my life. It took me years of therapy and self forgiveness. I still struggle with forgiving myself for the things I feel I need to do better. I am here for you and you are not alone with this. The past is not your life sentence. Lo...

"Can you forgive your parents for not becoming the parent you thought they would be?" I know I have struggled (still do) with the version that my parents were and now are. It has been a difficult journey to accept parents for who they are and work on forgiveness and growing up as a human being. Stay with us until the end. You are welcomed here. Remember, you are loved and we are so glad...

Hey there, welcome back to our channel. I am leaving you with some hope and practical tips on what to do when the world feels overwhelming. Many of the things I am talking about in this video I apply to my daily life. Homeschooling stress, overwhelm and daily anxiety can truly take a toll on your health. Before things pile into a big ball you can no longer control, use these tips to make sure you...

We are going to cover a lot in today's podcast. From changes after 40 to things we are no longer able to negotiate and neglect, our mental and physical health. We are also briefly covering social anxiety and hoping to cover this topic in more depth in another episode. Stay with us until the end and remember, you can always email us on the topics you would like us to cover at conversationswithk...

Let's dive in to todays podcast. "What if things don't work out the way YOU planned?" Stay until the end friends. We are so grateful you are here.

In todays episode we are exploring CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and how it can help ease our mind and anxiety. Tara is a licensed therapist in the San Diego, CA area and a life coach for anyone outside of the San Diego area. She has helped me through numerous sessions with CBT and in turn, this has helped me focus on my breath, the good in my life and my own healing. Let's dive right int...

"If life is measured in moments, then today feels like one worth sitting in for a while. One billion seconds of laughter. Mistakes. Adventures. Heartbreak. Growth. One billion ordinary moments that somehow became an extraordinary life.

Have you ever noticed that somewhere around the age of forty, something begins to shift? Not just in our bodies. In our priorities. The things that once felt so important slowly begin to lose their grip, and the things that truly matter start demanding our attention. Welcome back to  Conversations Worth Having  with Kai. I'm so glad you're here today. And before we begin, I want to let you...

Have you ever wondered what beauty really is? More than 2,300 years ago, the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who lived around 427 to 347 BC, explored that very question in his work Symposium . Through the teachings of Socrates and Diotima, he suggested that physical beauty is only the beginning. The highest form of beauty, he believed, is found in wisdom, character, goodness, and the way a person...

Have you ever wondered why the ancient Greek philosophers spent so much of their lives asking one simple question: What is beauty? Not what is fashionable. Not what is desirable. Not what sells. But what beauty truly is. Long before advertisements, airbrushed magazine covers, social media filters, and billion-dollar beauty industries, philosophers sat beneath olive trees discussing beauty, truth,...

Hello, beautiful people. Welcome back to "Conversations worth having" with Kai and Tara. Thank you for being here with me today. Whether you're driving, folding laundry, walking your dog, sitting with a cup of coffee, or just needing a quiet moment, I appreciate you spending a little time with me. Today's episode is called Your Health Is Your Health. We hear people say that healt...

This one is from my heart as I am realizing I am grieving my dog badly. We are hopefully renting out our home to a fantastic military family who have two dogs. They even sent videos of the dogs to our email and this morning, around 7:45 am I started sobbing. I miss my dog. He was so much more than my dog. He was my rock when we got orders to Edwards and I had no friends, no family, no trees, nothi...

In today's episode we talk about the control our phones have over us. Look into your own life and time the moment that could of been spent with loved ones instead of doom scrolling. Get honest with yourself and we will meet you here. We are so grateful for you and cannot wait to explore this topic with you.

Today we are focusing on the "need" to ask permission to leave the room. I always thought I had to make sure everyone around me is ok before I left a room I was uncomfortable entering to begin with. It has taken me years of therapy, self love and awareness to finally set healthy boundaries and leave when I am ready to leave. It is freedom on a brand new level. We hope this podcast will h...

Today we will be focusing on men's mental health and how we can support the men in our lives. If you ever need help NAMI is a fantastic resource and 988 is another one Tara and I recommend. I have personally used NAMI services in Ocean and Monmouth counties. You are not alone and help is available to you. We are so grateful you are here and we hope this podcast brings value to your life.

Greetings, we are so glad you are here. Today's episode focuses on acceptance and letting go. Boy, this is one I struggle with. It is so much easier to talk about acceptance than actually accept. Tara is going to give us some tips and tricks we can all apply today to accept certain people and situations for what they are and not what they could or "should" be. Stay tuned.

I want to start today with something that completely changed my life. I decided to treat every single person I meet as my teacher. Not just smart people. Not just successful people. Not just older people. Everybody. The billionaire. The cashier. The athlete. The exhausted mother. The arrogant person. The insecure person. The quiet person. The person I disagree with. The person I secretly judge. Ev...

“STOP COMPLAINING… and Start Appreciating.” Simple title. Aggressive title. Necessary title. Because honestly? A lot of people have turned complaining into a personality trait. Everything is a problem. Everything is unfair. Everything is exhausting. Everything deserves commentary. People complain about: their job, their body, traffic, weather, their family, money, social media, being busy, being l...

A lot of people are not okay right now. Not falling apart in some dramatic, movie-scene way. But quietly, steadily overwhelmed. And if you’ve found yourself googling things like“Why am I so tired all the time?”“Why do I feel anxious for no reason?”“Am I burned out?”You’re not alone. Not even close. Let's dig in and get some answers. We are so grateful you are here.

Today we will be talking about control and how we truly have very little of it. Personally, I have struggled with trying to control for a very long time. After pondering about it, I have realized this is anxiety in disguise. Tara is helping us navigate through some of the ways we can manage control and make it our friend.

Today's podcast is fitting for listeners who are always waiting for permission from others. My incredible mentor Tara could not join me in todays podcast due to the many clients she had this week, which made me think of....Doing "it" alone. There will come a time in your life (and mine) where you just cannot wait anymore. You and I have had something on our hearts we needed to do for...
