Auntie Angie's List




Some ideas if you need a pick me up, some of my favorites from the past week or so:

-Songs: 1. Follow the Sun by Xavier Rudd

            2. Things you Can't Control by SOJA

            3. Keeping Score by High Water

            4. Guitar Dreamers station

-Shows: Love on the Spectrum

-Books: All In by Billie Jean King

-Nature: Go for a walk in the trees or buy a plant (coleus is my favorite right now)

-Donate to a charity: Tusonge Ministries (started by Dustin's late Mom and others)

        https://www.tusongeministries.org/

-Maui Food Bank: still devastated by wildfires    https://mauifoodbank.org/

-Another great resource is my friend Blair. A few years ago, I was having sleep issues and she wrote a blog on that exact subject that so many of us deal with!

-Socializing: Of course my main activity is tennis, both exercise and socialization-good for the brain!

-Writing: write in a journal, write a short story, write a poem, write a song, even start a book. It's amazingly therapeutic!

My book has inspired me to try to help more people with life advice, so I am thinking of doing a website with a lot of links for various subjects, but I thought I would start here. I am also throwing around the idea of being a life coach, which would be a big change and it is scary, but I think I'd like to try it at least. I would still do physical therapy and writing as well. 

Those thoughts arose from the Brooke Castillo podcast. I've listened to 250 out of her 500 episodes and  she motivates me! I just learned that she is now done with the podcasts, but offering trainings on her website. It is odd because I am now listening to Episode #252 Should I Become a Life Coach? You can listen to it on Youtube or Amazon or wherever you'd like.

I recently bought both of her audiobooks, How to Have a Better Life and What's Possible and I'm excited to read both!

A friend recently started dabbling in life coaching and was telling me about it. I then started thinking that I might be a good fit because I have accomplished a lot of my goals and I could help others accomplish theirs. After listening to the podcast above, I realized I've been coaching myself for years, and I've continued to love self help books, apps, and challenges. I've always been great with time management, juggling 2 sports in college plus the grueling PT classes. I've done 5 Ironman Triathlons, a 50 mile run and a 62 mile "run." I have changed my nutrition plans and workout goals throughout my life, depending upon that stage of life. I have won a few tennis tournaments with my husband, and I most recently published my first book, Pier Luck, about our Navy love story.  I'm experienced with goal setting and active listening because of my 25 years as a physical therapist. 

I recently listened to Atomic Habits on Audible and I got a LOT out of that too! It has helped me to drink less alcohol and be more productive. 

If you've actually made it to the end of this entry, please leave a comment on the FB or IG feed to let me know your thoughts about this post and about my possible life coaching.

Evolve Life Coaching

  Aloha Friends! As summer ends and we transition into fall, it reminds me of how we, too, should always strive to keep growing and evolving. That's why I'm so excited to share some news with you all.   After 25 years as a physical therapist, and with my master's degree in rehabilitation counseling, I’ve decided to take my passion for helping people and start a new adventure in Life Coaching. Following my additional coach training, I’ll be pairing that with my unique background and expertise to help people navigate major life changes, build confidence, and create clear, actionable plans to achieve their personal and professional goals. You might be wondering, "What exactly does a life coach do?" Think of me as a partner who helps you get from where you are today to where you want to be tomorrow. Maybe you want to find a better work-life balance, or need support in tackling a new challenge. Maybe you want to redefine yourself or rediscover that joy and enthusiasm f...

Pier Luck is already a Success!

I've been overly posting on social media about my book release and we had an amazing book launch party and it has me really invigorated to do more! I set my goal pretty high because I want to sell 600 copies of Pier Luck. I haven't told anyone that goal except Dustin, so having it now in writing is a little scary!  It has been a whirlwind of emotions in the last few weeks and I am so thankful for all the support. So far about 70 people have purchased my book. At first I was thinking I just wanted to write this for Dustin and the rest of our family. I didn't really want to "put myself out there" but now I'm glad I did. I'm getting great feedback from readers so far and some people finished it on the first night of reading it! I felt like it was good, but I wasn't sure anyone else would think it was good, so to get that feedback literally made me cry!  My Mom is a little biased, but she is claiming that I have her laughing and crying and reminiscing old ...
