The holiday season is upon us. The Black Friday ads are already coming. And I don't want you to regret any of your purchases. Because the more money we all spend on dumb shit we don't really want or need, the less money we have to put towards the things we really care about. As we move into January, we are gonna need to lean on that now more than ever.

On this episode we talk about:

• The things to consider if you want to avoid buyers remorse & feel good about your spending.
• Why you might wanna make a list in advance.
• How to avoid scarcity and urgency.
• How to spot fake deals that aren't really deals at all.
• Hacks to sometimes get extra $$ off.
• Voting with your dollar.
• How to bring all of this into your holiday gift giving
• Fitness specific considerations.
• All sorts of other fun and festive things!

Today I'm pumped to be talking to my friend and long time co-worker Britt-Marie Sivertsen. So often you hear about ADHD from a clinical perspective, but today we're sharing our lived experience with it!

Britt-Marie is an Orangetheory Coach of 8 years, Head Coach of Chicago-Andersonville location for 5 years, Personal Trainer of 12 years, former yoga teacher, former gymnast, cat mom, plant based human of 10 years, Chicago performer, company member of Comedy Dance Chicago, volunteer bird rescuer, and Renaissance Faire goer.

On this episode we talk about:

• ​Her experience with having late diagnosed ADHD.
• ​How we both used to move our furniture around our rooms as children (an ADHD thing?!)
• ​Being a trainer with ADHD and how it shows up in her life and job.
• ​Why we think women like us were missed for a diagnosis as children.
• ​How things like imposter syndrome, rejection sensitivity dysphoria, and justice sensitivity show up for her.
• ​Hacks we've found help ourselves and our clients do the things we want to do.
• ​Our current hyper fixations.
• ​How we connect with our neurodivergent clients.
• ​How we use labels to understand ourselves and how to use that understanding as an explanation but not an excuse.
• ​So many other fun things!

Yesterday I cried for most of the day. I have been through every stage of grief over the election results and now I'm attempting to answer the tough question "WTF are we gonna do now?"

On this episode we talk about:

• ​The surprising conversation I had with a woman at my son's school that reminded me that there are good people hiding all around us.
• ​Why I'm leading with vulnerability.
• ​How moving forward needs to be treated like a relay race--tapping in and out as we need to.
• ​What I said to my adult tap class to acknowledge our shared grief without making it awkward.
• ​Why our power as women is in having our own money, creating our own safe spaces, and sharing that with each other.
• ​How I'm planning to take action AND take care of myself.
• ​So many other shitty things. 🙃
