The Heather Bonham Show

The routine that REALLY matters.  There’s a routine that’s more important than your morning routine.  I explain it all in Episode 044.  Plus, a downloadable freebie!

Too busy?  Cold and flu season?  Do you want to optimize your eating and wellness routines?  Are you patient with your family and considerate to your co-workers?  What's the ONE area of focus that can help you reap benefits in all of these areas (and more)?  

042 - Do people REALLY want to move to Italy and buy a dream home for $1? What is it that they are looking for? Does it appeal to you?

How you feel on Fridays and Sundays can help you know if it's time for a job change.  The change can be one of two things:  a new perspective and attitude at your current job, or a different job.  In this episode, I talk about the signs I noticed when it was time for a change.  Your feelings can be fickle, but with time and perspective (and prayer!), the situation can become mo...

The podcast is changing. The Learning Coach is being archived and Midlife Best is the new podcast and website. Why the change? I explain it on this episode. Thank you to my listeners and I hope to stay connected through the new podcast and website! (Coming soon to www.midlifebest.com) My new email is Heather@midlifebest.com

The Learning Coach 039.  Happy 2019!  Take good care of yourself this year - Body, Mind and Spirit!  It won't just happen magically.  You have to plan.  The resources for this episode can be found at www. StudySkillsSurvivalGuide.com under Freebies!

The Learning Coach 038 - Money reflects our values. How you spend your money (and your time!) can show you what you value. Also, you can honor your values by planning some of your spending around what really matters.

The Learning Coach 037 - Unexpected

036 - This is possibly the busiest time of the year. Gifts, Travel, Commitments, Work, School ... Are you missing out on fun by putting extra pressure on yourself?

Sure, I enjoy creating my own podcast, but it started with being a listener. I share the benefits of listening to podcasts and make my recommendations for 2019.

Minor setbacks can distract us. We need to take care of ourselves, especially during the Holiday Season, and be minimalists when it comes to stress. Turbulence doesn't hurt the airplane, and we can learn to fly right through.

033 - Enjoy the holiday! It's not about what you "have to" do, but about following the traditions that work for you and your loved ones.

Creativity and problem solving require time to think. It may be driving, fishing, hiking, or sitting in a hammock, but we all need time to let our brains do their work.

031 - Did you learn the "Magic Word" when you were little? You probably did, but there may be an even more powerful magic word that you need to use now.

What's the real purpose of fear? How does fear connect with worry? What should you do if you really want to do something, but there is still some fear holding you back?

I can safely assume that most of us didn't win the lottery this week - but that's OK. The real benefit may not be in winning any money.

028 - The journey AND the destination - Enjoy both, not one or the other.

Are you self-motivated? Great! It will help you succeed. But be careful that you take on a reasonable work load, and leave some margin for rest.

Review of "Boundaries" by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. (Abridged audio book).

This episode is especially for moms. Don't accept the Bad Mom Award! P.S. - all moms work, and all moms are teachers to their kids.

I share why I have always been a fan of self-help books.

A simple sign facilitated communication on the interstate, and three simple steps that I learned from my sixth grade English teacher.

Three lessons from my summer road trip.

This episode is a reminder that we don't need to have all of the puzzle pieces in a given situation - and in fact, sometimes it's better that we don't. I tell the story from more than ten years ago, "The one where God saved me from a bad job." In all fairness, that job might not have been all bad, but it was for the best that I ended up quitting before I really even started.

The Learning Coach 020 - Can you be excited about something new, and be a little afraid at the same time? Are you OK with that? Sure, "new" can be scary - new job, new school, new career, new place to live ... usually regrets come from the things we said "no" to, and success comes from the things we say "yes" to.
