What About Me?

What About Me?

Author: Transformation Talk Radio November 12, 2022 Duration: 0:00
Where is your energy and where are your thoughts right now? Right this minute, if you listed your top 10 priorities, how likely is it that YOU are on that list? When was the last time you made yourself the number one priority and made time for YOU? If you can't remember, lets talk! (503) 317-8072! Think about it. Everything for the kids goes on the calendar almost as immediately as you learn about them: PTA, sporting events, swim and music lessons, fund raisers, practices, tutoring, and teacher conferences. After the kids, work and spouse probably take precedent. Then come the house choresand family obligations. I'll bet the dog, cat or hamster are probably higher on the list of things to care for than you are. My friend Trish Campbell mentioned her work place shifted to a 4-day work week and that Friday's are now called "This Is Trish Day". What an amazing concept: dedicating one day a week to our own personal self care! It's true that a whole day of self care sounds luxurious. But how many of us actually block out any quantifiable time on the calendar at all? It shouldn't be either or, and it doesn't have to be all or nothing. We can't stop the the external demands on our time and energy, but we can choose how we reorganize the priority list and build in in some ways to pur ourselves first with soul feeding "ME TIME". Squeezing in a bubble bath at the end of the day helps, but that method of self care often comes at the days' end when it's abut surviving for the next day. Planning and protecting "ME TIME" on the calendar is a method to thrive not just survive. We owe it to ourselves to make ourselves the highest priority, or at least as equitable in value to our jobs, spouses kids, and pets! Don't wait for burnout or fatique to slow you down and pay attention to yourself! Today's show highlights easy to implement practices and methods to guiltlessly put yourself first so that you can serve others at a higher, more energized, engaged and purposeful way. Author Trish M. Campbell talks about her "Love Me" journey, that includes stepping away from trying to check all the boxes and putting others first. We'll talk about her poetry that came from that journey that continues to feed her "LOVE ME" mission that empowers others to live, work and play with a sense of self and freedom. Tune in to hear the inspiring words of a woman who chose to be her own advocate and live the authentic life she was meant to live. Trish M. Campbell https://www.thisistrishcampbell.com/ @thisistrish

Hosted by Diane McClay and presented by Transformation Talk Radio, The Diane McClay Show-Empowering Life Through Choice speaks directly to the complex experience of modern womanhood. It addresses the specific weight of juggling professional obligations, personal relationships, and community roles, and the quiet frustration that arises when effort feels unseen. This podcast explores that internal whisper-the sense that your current path lacks the depth and purpose you know is possible. Conversations here are built on the understanding that feeling stuck or secretly unhappy is a signal, not a sentence. Each episode is a practical and compassionate dialogue focused on the central theme of agency. You’ll hear honest discussions about identifying the areas where you feel undervalued or unheard, and more importantly, how to navigate toward a different, more fulfilling reality. The core philosophy is that empowerment isn’t about a sudden, dramatic overhaul, but is accessed through the cumulative power of daily, intentional choices. By listening to this podcast, you engage with stories and strategies that translate restlessness into actionable steps. It’s a resource for anyone who recognizes that “more to life” isn’t just a vague hope, but a destination reached by reclaiming your voice and making deliberate decisions about your health, your time, and your contributions. The tone is both supportive and straightforward, offering a sense of camaraderie and concrete tools for building a life that aligns with your authentic self.
