Warriors, these are unprecedented, scary times for sure.  We are all doing the best we can to stay safe and understand how our world is changing. Many Americans are have lost their jobs and are unsure when they will have an income again, it's scary.  In this episode, I sit down with Money Coach and founder of Greatest Worth, Nicole Rule.  She is a self-proclaimed recovering budget avoider and Target run addict.  She started her journey of helping others find joy in managing their money after she and her husband paid off over $100,000 in debt in just 26 months.  She wants to help others avoid going into debt, as well as create healthy budgets to live the life they want to live.   

She also has an amazing e-course available now, the Emergecy Budget Blueprint.  It is available on her website and is a "pay what feels good" course.  In this time of crisis, Nicole wants everyone to have access to the tools and strategies that she provides in the course, even if you can't pay for it right now.  It's all about paying it forward.

Hey Warriors-

While we are all stuck at home, that does not mean that we can't stay physically (and mentally) strong!  In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Wightman, fitness instructor, QVC On-Air Host, and an amazing mom.  Carrie tells us why she believes your mental transformation (aka mindset!) paves he way for your physical transformation.  We discuss how being home and not having access to the gym, yoga studio, or spin studio does not mean that we stop moving!   Now more than ever we need to keep our energy up and our bodies moving! Carrie helps us do just that! Take a listen now.

Hey Warriors- 

I hope you are staying healthy and safe during this unprecedented and crazy time.  We are all navigating unchartered waters, with worry and fear driving our thoughts each day. Now, more than ever, we need to focus on our mental wellness and daily practices to stay mentally strong. 

In this episode, mindful mommy Bizette Gailewicz, shares her health journey with us and how focusing on positivity and mindfulness helped her heal.  At 27 years-old she was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder. She then battled pre-eclampsia during pregnancy, cardiac and kidney failure, and years of major flare-ups of lupus.  Throughout her journey, she refused to accept the diagnosis she was given and was determined not to let it define her.  She reached out to holistic healers and used practices such as mindfulness and meditation to help guide her through her journey.  Today, she is healed and has dedicated her life to empowering children to help control big emotions so they grow into healthier and happier adults. She teaches meditation to children and has written a children’s book on meditation. She believes giving them the tools they need at a young age will help them to deal with the challenges that we all inevitably experience in life. I couldn’t argee more! Take a listen to this inspiring episode to hear how Bizettte healed herself by focusing on what she could control in her life, her mindset!

Hey Warriors-

I hope that everyone is staying healthy, safe, and sane as we all adhere to social distancing and do our best to support our local healthcare providers and all essential workers at this time.  They are truly our heroes, keeping business moving and leaving their homes so that we can have food, medicine, and all the essentials that we need. We are extremely grateful for you! 

This is a scary and devastating time for many business owners. Many of us live in a small town where the local businesses are the heart and soul of our town.  They are there for us, supporting our community, and brining us together through their food, services or entertainment.  In this weeks special episode of Suburban Warrior Podcast, I interview two small business owners from very different businesses.  Sean Coyle, owner of The Goat's Beard Restaurant in Manayunk and Wayne, PA and Maureen Doron, owner of SKIRT Fashion Boutique in Bryn Mawr & Philadelphia, PA and Stone Harbor, NJ.  Two very different businesses, both forced to reevaluate how they do business during a shut down.   These brave owners share their journey of how they had to instantly and consistently pivot their business model just to keep the lights on.  And not only are they thinking outside the box as to how they can still serve their customers, but they are giving back to the community as well, putting those less fortunate first and extending a hand to neighbors in need.  A true example of what it means to be a small business and support a community.  Take a listen!  My hope is that if you own a business of your own, this may help you to think differently as to how you can support your customer base and if you are a customer or a client, please consider supporting a small business if you can.  Now more than ever, they need us just as much as we've always needed them.
