All The Stuff

The holidays…  A time for family, a time for cheer, and traditionally a slew of indulging activities such as endless parties, shopping, eating, drinking and gift giving which often leaves us feeling less than joyful when it is all over.     Our “All the Stuff” ladies Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach, along with Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, and Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women, discuss how navigating the holidays can be a challenge, and what steps one can take to make the holidays go smoothly and without excesses.     Listeners will hear how going back to their “whys”, making choices that serve them and knowing their triggers are so important in staying the course to a happy holiday season.    They will also learn how quality versus quantity is the key to celebratory eating, spending and gift giving and how staying conscious will not only enhance the holidays but also provide a great start to the new year without excess weight, debt and clutter.  

Let’s face it, we are all getting older. For all of us, there will be days where we realize that our bodies are not quite the way they used to be - more aches and pains, decreased vision, hormonal changes to name a few.  Fact is, aging is a natural part of life.  However, there are things we can do to make these changes less impactful and enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle well into our elder years.   Join the “All the Stuff” gals Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach, Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women, and Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, as they discuss their personal experiences with aging and how they incorporate self-care to ensure that they too will enjoy healthy and vital golden years.   Be sure to connect with the ladies over on their facebook group where they continue the conversation at https://www.facebook.com/groups/allthestuffpodcast  and their individual websites listed below.  You will also find  links below to their respective signature prog

In this episode of “All the Stuff”, our resident experts Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach, Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women, and Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, explore the concept of “Self-Care”, what it really is (and isn’t!), and how it is absolutely non-negotiable for you.     So many of us fall into the habit and unconscious behaviour of ignoring our bodies and just existing, only to wake up one day depleted, and feeling defeated.  Listeners will hear how self-care is NOT selfish - and that paying attention to what they need to do to feel good, whatever that is, will only help support them in their daily lives and relationships with others.     Be sure to connect with the ladies over on their facebook group where they continue the conversation at https://www.facebook.com/groups/allthestuffpodcast  and their individual websites listed below.  Here are the links to their respective signature programs:  Lisa Carpenter’s Program E.A.T!, http://www.l

When it comes to investing in our homes, businesses, families and selves, most people either fall into either the “Just in Time” or “Just in Case” categories.  Last minute, “Just in Time” investments of any kind (time, money, etc), can be very efficient, and create a streamlined system that is free of clutter and over-expenditures. But they can also bring stress and anxiety when there is a bump in the road that so often happens…  As simple as not having enough toilet paper, or a key player on your team getting sick just before a big launch…   On the flip side, “Just in Case” proponents are seemingly always prepared, which can lead to less stress, until the excesses become stresses of their own.  Wastefullness, excess clutter and debt can all come out of over-zealous “Just in case” behaviours.     Join our “All the Stuff” gals Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women, along with Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach as they discuss

For many folks, “doing it all” defines their self-worth - they have each day filled to the brim with things to do for everyone and everything - kids, school, spouse, parents and family, work, community, you name it.  And for these people, who are always running ragged and exhausted, there is no time for self-care and self-love.  Instead, they “push through” the exhaustion, and become victims of their behaviour.  The things that really light them up get put by the wayside and their health suffers.   Join our “All the Stuff” gals  Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach, Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, and Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women as they discuss how getting conscious of our “Stuff” is the first step in achieving freedom from the ball and chain we often create for ourselves trying to do it all.  This episode has some great tips and tricks on how to say no to time spent on extraneous things and leave some space for the things that nurture us.     If yo

  Words are very powerful.  The words that we tell ourselves every day become our truths, and dramatically and powerfully play a huge role in our lives.  For many people, these words and stories are abusive - diminishing all that they are, and all that they could be.     Join our “All the Stuff” gals Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women, along with Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach in this discussion about a very important topic that we all need to be mindful of.  Listeners are encouraged to get curious about their self-talk, and become conscious of the stories they so easily go to out of habit and programming.  They will hear how the experts have dealt with negative self talk themselves, and how the process of being conscious and deliberate can rewire their internal words from abusive to supportive so they can take action towards a better life.   If you are looking for a safe place to share, be sure to check out their face

Is there something that you “treat” yourself to on a regular basis?  Something that could quantifiably accumulate into a lot of money spent over the long term?  Most of us do.  But what are the driving forces behind buying the “latte”, or the lunch out, or any of the impulse purchases we so often make?   Perhaps the day has not gone as well as you had hoped, and you are wanting to soothe bruised emotions, so the dopamine rush from buying  the “thing” gives you the temporary lift that you are seeking. Or maybe you need some self-love and that gorgeous pair of Manolo Blahnik stilettos is calling your name.     Join our “All the Stuff” gals Lisa Sharp, Empowerment Coach and Clutter Expert, Jen Turrell, Financial Personal Trainer for Women, along with Lisa Carpenter, Transformational Life and Nutrition Coach as they discuss the what, where, why and how of the “latte effect” and junk spending.  Learn what questions to ask yourself about your purchases and spending patterns so that you can become more conscious and

At one point or another in our lives, sometimes chronically, we try and control situations and others.  This inherent human behavior, especially for women, is one of the most silently destructive as its effects creep up on us slowly over time, until the day when our physical and emotional selves can no longer take it…   Fact is, trying to control when so many external factors are at play is a losing game for the controller.  The more you seek control, the more you are out of control. It’s like hitting the breaks on ice…   When we try to control, we completely let go of ourselves, our feelings and our self-care.  The cumulative lack of sleep, good nutrition, exercise, and personal time and the resulting stress that this causes our emotional state and body, lead us to health issues, weight gain, clutter, financial chaos and literally losing touch with ourselves.  Many of us are caretakers by nature, and in so doing, feel like we have to take on everything, and everyone.  Why do we do it and how do we help ourse
