You may have heard that laughter is the best medicine, I totally agree!

When was the last time you’ve laughed until tears flowed down your face?

Our guest today, Stephanie McHugh is a funny lady who knows how to bring the laughter.  She has appeared on the TV show “America’s Funniest Mom” and was on The Steve and Stephanie Morning show on KOOL 105 in Denver, Colorado. She was invited to perform at the Great American Comedy Festival and is a co-founder of the MentalPause Comedy Show.

When Stephanie isn’t performing comedy on cruise ships (which sadly was most of 2020), she is a humor coach for entrepreneurs and speakers, helping them use humor to connect with their audience. Since her days in radio, Stephanie also records voice over projects out of her home studio.

You can check out some of Stephanie’s comedy, at www.stephaniemchugh.com

Episode 32 Your Retirement Mindset-Part 1 Cultivating Community

Imagine, that you’re taking a break from checking your morning email when you notice the retirement countdown clock, at the corner of your desk.  The clock was a joke from one of your actively retired friends, 2 years earlier.  At this moment the clock reads, 665 Days, 7 Hours, 30 Minutes and 40 Seconds.  You’re suddenly in a state of panic.

Financially, you’re good to go.  All annuities are sufficiently funded, your Social Security strategy is in place, and your checking, savings and emergency fund accounts are just where you want them.  Dave Ramsey, Chris Hogan and Suze Orman would have no issues with you.  However, you’ve neglected to plan your transition from pre-retirement to post-retirement activities.  What are you going to do?  How are you going to feel the first morning after the giddiness of your retirement party has worn off and you wake up with freedom from your alarm clock, a morning commute or even a scheduled team meeting?  You are not alone.

On this podcast, we always provide opportunities to recognize and celebrate birthdays with our listeners by offering a fun story or fun birthday trivia.  Today’s birthday trivia is:  Noisemakers were used to scare away evil spirits and demons on someone’s birthday.

Today’s program was brought to you by Replay Fitness, Inc. offering life transition and retirement coaching services.

Your transition may be a job change, divorce, widowhood, empty nest or retirement.  If you’re ready to own your power, feel good again or develop your retirement mindset, for your best phase yet.  Please join our waitlist at [email protected] to be informed when new sessions are open.

In this episode Vickie Goodman shares wisdom with us.

Vickie Goodman who like many of us has a varied and interesting life.  She’s a mother, grandmother and business woman.  Family is a major aspect of her life including being a contractor with her son and having the life’s rewards of raising a special needs child along with several other loving and well-rounded children.

Vickie is a Life Long Learner who’s been active in Toastmasters International local clubs in Tallahassee for about 30 years.  She also enjoys participating in a variety of educational opportunities through Florida State University’s Osher Lifelong Learning Program, the Senior Center and other things that spark her interest.

Vickie likes to know the what, why and how of things and enjoy taking on new challenges or participating in classes or activities about which she knows very little just to increase her personal knowledge.

She’s the only female construction contractor I know.  This is extra special because she’s doing it with her son.  Vickie said it’s fun because it involves a lot of problem solving.  While she’s less inclined to do the actual physical work, she loves knowing how to do it or how things work.  Vickie also enjoys reading and writing and especially loves creating educational, motivational and inspirational presentations for a variety of audiences.
