Do you compare yourself to other people? I don’t think it’s a new topic, but I want to talk about how it’s really not equal - you, comparing yourself to other people because we’re all created differently and that’s the beauty of life is that we’re all different and I just want to let you know there are no two people -  even twins, identical twins are not exactly alike. So because we’re not alike, you can’t compare yourself to other people.  I know it’s a natural human tendency to compare yourself, and I know i’ve done it before, but I try to I make it a practice of how I live my life now not to compare myself and its’ great when you’re older, you get a lot wiser and you know better and you realize that we’re all different and there’s nobody else like me. I can’t be like somebody else that I admire.  I can admire the qualities that they have, but it would be really doing myself a disservice to compare myself to them because we all come to earth with our own gifts and our own talents. If you focus on what you h

Today I want to talk about the topic that every woman has secret feelings about how she feels about her body! I wanted to start off by letting you know that this is really common.  Every woman has secret feelings about she feels about her body. Secret feelings don’t just show up one day in your mind and heart, it’s like with anything that you struggle with, it starts when you were a baby. The one thing that I have always thought was really fascinating is how little baby girls are so aware of what’s going on around them.  If you’ve ever watched little babies, you’ll understand what I’m talking about - it’s really fascinating. They seem to be so much older than they really are!  I think it’s just amazing how these little spirits that have come to earth and they’re so much more valiant than ever before, they’re just so much smarter. And for that reason, I want to focus on baby girls that become toddlers, pre-teenagers, teenagers and then women because, those are the stages in a woman’s life that she becomes more

It’s Time for Fashion! It’s time to add the FASHION into the FashionableFianance.com! For a while now I’ve only been writing, talking, and podcasting about you and your finances.  While learning about your finances is extremely important, so is fashion (in my opinion of course). I say that fashion is important because everyone has to wear clothes! That’s just the bottom line right?  There’s just no way around it, especially when the weather is really hot and humid and you don’t really want to put clothes on, we don’t have a choice - we all have to wear clothes. I will continue to talk about finances in between all of the fashion information I share, because…what you wear does have an impact on your finances!  I know you’re thinking “what?”  I will be sharing with you why and how in the coming months.  So stay tuned! For right now I want you to know that It’s important to care about what you wear. I have a question for you: Did you ever stop to think about what you wear every day? Think about that for a minute

I hope you get a lot of value out of listening to this podcast.   I wanted to let all of you listening know that I didn’t forget about you.  I’ve been working on incorporating fashion, style, and clothing fit into fashionable finance.   So far I’ve only been talking about is how to deal with you finances and to have JOY at the same time, while letting women know that it’s OK to talk about money and ask for help.  I also love to share and teach on the topics that can help you  improve your life, because I always want to inspire and help women and moms who are really busy and to have them be able to learn on the go.  Sometimes it seems like that’s the only way we can get things accomplished and learn  Helping women has always been really important to me my entire adult life.  I think about all of you listeners all the time and wonder what I can share with you that will make a difference in your life. I think about it constantly because I love to share. It’s time now to incorporate the style, fashion and clothin

The topic of doing things differently in your life is a really interesting one and you’ll understand what I mean. I’ve always been the kind of person that I've always tried to do things a little differently in my life.  I think it started from when I was a little girl because I can remember when I was a kid having that thought and feeling of wanting to do things how I wanted to do it and when I wanted to do it.  You might want to call it rebellion kind of sounds like rebellion, I think I did become rebellious when I was a pre-teen(I hope it didn’t start when I was a kid in elementary, that wouldn’t be good!)     (Sorry Mom!)  I have to apologize to my mom because I'm pretty sure I gave my Mom and other family members a lot of stress at times or shall I say quite often.  As I think about it now, I think I felt and acted that way because of the amount of creative energy that I had from a really young age. As a kid I always went with that creative energy that was moving and flowing, isn’t that what we’re su

I want to share with all of you about Not Looking Back: Unfortunately It’s something that we all do...a lot!  I, myself have caught myself looking back at all the things that I’ve done in my life that was either - wrong, crazy, hurtful and way to much more that I don’t even really want to think about.  A number of years ago I realized that I had a tendency to always look back at the negative things instead of the positive things that I did.  Why do we do that?  We tend to always look back at the negative and not the positive. We’re all growing and learning were here on earth to learn and grow, we’re not perfect.  So, that’s why sometimes we do those crazy things like looking back at the negative instead of trying to find out what was really good to and think about all those good things we did. Now, looking back on the negative is only a good thing when you going to try and learn from it, when you’re going to try and make better choices and maybe change direction in your life and really be on a good path a

I want to talk to you about service. What comes to your mind when you hear that word?   I’m talking about the kind of service that you would render to someone. Service brings all kinds of thoughts to our minds.  Sometimes people haven’t had the best experience with service and some people haven’t  had any experience serving. Everything that we do has some kind of impact on other people’s lives,  whether you’re working at your job, or in a community. Let me ask you another question.  Have you ever been a recipient of  someone doing service for you or to you?    Serving someone if one of the greatest things you could ever do in your  life and I can say that because I have experienced it, I have talked to many, many people who give service and have received service.  I have found  that serving other people is not something most people think about on a  daily basis.   Now, I’m not talking about the kind of service that you sacrifice your health,  family or anything like that.  That’s why the word service sc

Women usually have a plan for something that they  really want and sometimes they don't even realize  that they've made a plan because it's been something  that they do naturally and have been doing it for so long, that they don't feel the need to have it written out. Sometimes I think that as little girls we have this natural ability to see what we want, figure out a way to get it (a plan) and then go for it - no matter what. Have you ever watched a little girl playing house, having a tea party or doll dress up?  If you have, you probably have witnessed that little girl in action: setting things up, organizing everything and telling her playmates what to do and, what not to do (some might call it being bossy).  I think it's pretty funny, her playmates are at her mercy. Isn't that how it is as grown women, we continue that same pattern just like when we were little.  The only difference is that we have a lot more people that are in our life to organize (boss around). Even though that might come easy and writt

I  share with you the10 questions you need to include in the conversation you have with yourself everyday. The person we have a conversation with the most every single day is ourselves. You may not have even realized it until now, but if you just take a moment to think about all the things that you think about every day of your life, you’ll come to realize that most of it were talking to yourself, also known as: conversations with yourself. It’s pretty amazing when you think about it, that we have these conversations all day long and I wonder how in the world can we do that when we have so many things going on. These conversations actually do one of two things: they either help us or hurt us.  And this is what I mean, it so easy for us to say negative things to ourselves when we feel like we’re not smart enough or when we compare ourselves to other people and much more.  By doing that and saying these negative things to ourselves, it really has such a hurtful effect on your mind, body and spirit.   Now when o

Have you ever had a time in your life where things were so stressful and there was a lot going on?  Are you going through it now? Because life throws curve balls at you and you may not be prepared or feel like you’re ready to take on those curve balls, that you just feel like screaming or maybe even crying! Curveballs a.k.a.: a flat tire or a car accident on the freeway and now you’re going to be 30 minutes late to work or an appointment, or as soon as you get to work you get a phone call from your child’s school that he or she is feeling sick and you need to pick him or her up as soon as possible, or you get home from work and somebody in your family reminds you that you signed up to bring snacks to a school or committee meeting that night, or how about all of these things happening in one day! At this point you’re thinking no way…this cannot be happening! And you start to wonder if you can make it through the rest of the day. This is just an example of a few of the many endless things that have happen

NEVER EVER go to the store without a shopping list of some kind, whether it's written on paper or on your phone, and try to limit the number of times you go to the store.  Here's why... 1.    As soon as you walk in the door you forget what you needed to get in the first place. 2.    There's a whole marketing psychology on shoppers that the stores use to make everything you see very appealing and makes you want to buy it. (I know because I used to work in retail) So.... that leads me to the 3rd reason... 3.    You don't buy what you actually came to the store for. 4.    You end up buying things that you don't really need. 5.    You spend way more money than you can afford.  And, a lot of times using credit to make the purchase! Everything listed above is from experience.  So a few years ago what I decided to do was to make sure that before I went to any store that I would write down on a piece of paper the exact thing or things that I needed.  I still do that to this day.  I make sure that I write my li

Aloha, in this episode I talk about shame. I referenced episode #011 on Fear and episode #012 on Doubt.    Fear, Doubt, and Shame are the three main things that women  suffer from. Shame is a painful emotion that we need to talk about, woman  want to just hide it under the rug, but I don’t want that for you.   We need to figure out how to get rid of these feelings that are  not serving us. There’s no room in our lives for fear, doubt, and shame. Growing up, have you ever had an adult say to you “shame on you”?  If you did, said, or behaved in a certain way? We don’t think about how it’s going to affect our kids when we say those things to them. Everything that goes on in our lives shapes who we are and who we become and the feelings we have.  We take things on. We need to work on letting go: First - acknowledge that you have shame within yourself. Shame will look different for everyone - some people have shame about how they look, shame of being in public, or speaking up, there are so many because we are all

I think a lot about all of you listeners every day and what I can share with you, and to share the things that I’ve learned and the experiences that I had.   I want to talk about Doubt-It Doesn’t Have To Be!   I have met so many people who suffer from doubt, we have so much that we doubt in our daily lives. I wanted to see the dictionary’s definition of ‘doubt’ and it says: to be uncertain about, to consider questionable or unlikely, hesitate to believe, to distrust, to fear, to be apprehensive about, to be uncertain about something to be undecided in opinion or belief. How many of you have a lot of doubt within you? Fear and doubt have a strong connection. Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and they say to you “I doubt it” without even doing the research and finding out if something is true or not? Have you ever questioned your doubt? You should always doubt the doubt before we just accept it. Women suffer from Fear, Doubt and Shame. What do you doubt in your life?  Doubt comes from different

Aloha, in this episode I talk about the dreaded topic of FEAR! Fear is everywhere, it so pervasive. Fear shows its ugly self in so many different ways and starts in childhood at such a tender age. Everything we learn for the first few years of our lives is from our parents, grandparent, or aunts & uncles that raise us and it will look different for everyone. We're here to gain knowledge, to grow and learn and to experience things, and to prepare to live in the eternities with God. One of the steps you need to take to overcome your fear is to be creative.  Being creative allows you to be in that space of “what’s possible” because being in that space of fear shuts you down. Everyone on this planet is given that gift of creativity from God. It’s amazing how creative we are, it's possible to be creative every day and have joy, you just have to want these things. Everybody has their own interest in the creative space, so take the time to find that creative gift that’s in you.  Once you get on that path, you wi

Have you ever wondered if your finances were controlling you? In this episode, I talk about why you need to get  control of your finances, some of the ways in which to do that and how you are affected by not having the necessary control of money coming in and money  going out each month. What women think about their finances:It’s a humbug, they don’t like to manage it, they don’t like to think about it, deal with it, it's boring or stresses them out. Your finances involves: Rent or mortgage, electric, water, cell phone, food,  gas and more. You need to have a system in place: Need to write things down, get a notebook, take 15 minutes, write down all the bills you have, set up a system that works for you, and set up bill paying to be deducted automatically from a checking account. Need to control what money you have: Have a strong desire to overcome and to get a system set up, if you need help, ask!, it’s good to have   support. Women want freedom: To do the things we want to do and women like to have co

Bridgit Danner who is an online womenʼs health practitioner at bridgitdanner.com. Her career in healthcare began in 2004 as an acupuncturist in Portland, Oregon. After honing her skills in community and private acupuncture clinic, and the Yoga- Health studio, Yoga Pearl, she opened her own clinic in 2007.  Her clinic, Blue Sky Wellness Studio, is located in the bustling, eclectic neighborhood of North Mississippi Ave. There she leads a team of two acupuncturists, 4 massage therapists, a naturopath and a chiropractor in integrated, holistic care.  In the excitement and stress of opening a clinic, getting married and having a baby all in one year, Bridgit became disconnected with health and spirit.
