In this intimate and personal episode of the Doing What Matters podcast, I share a tradition I have upheld for the last few years - sharing a Christmas song that I wrote over three decades ago. With the Christmas season upon us, it is my hope that this tradition will inspire and resonate deeply with you. Through the song titled "I Wonder", we reflect on the emotions and thoughts of Mary and Joseph on the night of Jesus' birth, and how I've related to their humility and ordinariness in my own life. Be present in the moment. Seek out the moments this Christmas season and reflect upon the deeper meaning of the holiday. I hope this episode provides a moment of pause and reflection for you amidst the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. Merry Christmas.   On This Episode: 00:00 Teresa shares her Christmas song reflection. 03:25 God chose simple, ordinary people, giving hope. 08:54 Experiencing new wonders as grandchildren bring joy. 10:30 Reflecting on the extraordinary in ordinary life 16:03 Imagine, hope, and gratitude for the extraordinary.   IMPORTANT LINKS: https://www.therealifeprocess.com/ https://www.therealifeprocess.com/join   Coach Certification Link https://www.therealifeprocess.com/   FREE RESOURCES: Take the FREE Intro to Needs & Values Assessment Ready to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

On this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, host Teresa McCloy explores the power of connecting the dots in our life stories. As we approach the end of the year and the holiday season, it's a perfect time to reflect on our experiences and gain insights into ourselves. Teresa shares her own story of a recent vacation with her family and the realization she had about how her father influenced her love for adventure and travel. She reminds listeners to stay curious about their own stories and to be open to learning more about themselves and their connections. Teresa recalls a childhood memory of her father buying a small wooden boat and taking the family on trips to the lake. This sparked her love for travel and adventure, which she had always attributed to her father's work ethic. However, during their recent trip, Teresa realized that her father's desire for adventure and new experiences was just as influential. She connects the dots between her own longing for travel and her father's influence, leading to a greater understanding of herself and her desires. Teresa emphasizes the importance of reflecting on our stories and making connections. She introduces the "my life map now" tool from oneLife Maps, which helps individuals uncover the value in their life stories and see themselves through new eyes. By staying open to learning and resolving past hurts or celebrating successes, we can continue to grow and uncover new aspects of ourselves. Teresa encourages listeners to be curious and approach holiday gatherings with a different perspective, looking for opportunities to gain new insights. For those who have never documented their story, Teresa suggests checking out oneLife Maps and their series of maps that guide individuals through the process of connecting the dots in their life story. Teresa also mentions that in the new year, The REALIFE Process will be launching a community with free resources for further exploration of personal stories. By connecting with others and engaging in conversations about our stories, we can deepen our understanding of ourselves and find support and inspiration along the way. As the holiday season unfolds, she concludes by encouraging everyone to remember that there is value in each person's story and that by connecting the dots, we can find meaning, purpose, and grace in our lives.   00:07 Welcome back to the Doing What Matters podcast.

Teresa is the author of Do What Matters: Live from Rest, Not Rush, Using the REALIFE Process®

In this episode of the Doing What Matters podcast, host Teresa McCloy shares her annual tradition of taking a whole day to plan for the year ahead. Teresa emphasizes the importance of living from rest, not rush, and how this planning exercise helps to create a life that truly matters. She walks listeners through the step-by-step process of planning for the year and offers practical insights and tips that can be applied to any business or personal life. Teresa starts by highlighting the significance of community and the power of doing life together. She expresses her gratitude for the listeners who join her on this journey and sets the stage for discussing the planning process for the year ahead. Using a giant 8 by 5 write-on wipe-off calendar, Teresa and her team spent several hours mapping out the events and appointments for the upcoming year. They color-coded different aspects of their business and marked reoccurring events, vacations, retreats, and marketing activities. This visual approach allowed them to see the big picture and set the foundation for their plans. Teresa emphasizes the importance of the "jar of pickles" analogy, where the big rocks are the essential elements that need to be placed in the jar first. By identifying these critical events and aligning them with their vision and goals, Teresa and her team were able to prioritize and ensure that they have a solid plan for the year ahead. She encourages listeners to order a big calendar to gain a visual perspective and begin the process of mapping out their own big rocks for the year. By taking action now and getting ahead of the planning process, they can enter the holidays and the new year with confidence and a clear direction for their businesses and lives. Lastly, Teresa provides a sneak peek into an upcoming community platform launch in January. Listeners are invited to join the community mailing list to be the first to receive updates and access to free content. This new platform will offer resources and support for those who want to live from rest, not rush, and use the real life process framework for creating a meaningful and purposeful life. In conclusion, Teresa's annual planning tradition serves as a reminder of the importance of intentional and strategic thinking. By dedicating time to plan for the year ahead, individuals and businesses can gain clarity, set priorities, and create a roadmap to success. So go ahead, order that big calendar, and start filling it with your big rocks for 2024. Your future self will thank you for it.   01:59 Plan for next year, fill calendar with events. 04:49 Schedule and events organized, color-coded for efficiency. 09:59 Bringing everything together to serve clients. 11:47 Calendar organized, confidence to move forward. 18:01 Summary: Use calendar to plan and prepare. 21:26 Join now for free content in 2024.   IMPORTANT LINKS: https://www.therealifeprocess.com/ https://www.therealifeprocess.com/join Coach Certification Link https://www.therealifeprocess.com/   Become a REALIFE Process® Certified Coach!   FREE Download: 4 Steps to Simplify Your Calendar Ready to uncover more time on your calendar?

In this episode of Doing What Matters, host Teresa McCloy dives into the importance of building meaningful relationships and creating intentional spaces for connections in our lives. As a believer, entrepreneur, and recovering workaholic, Teresa shares her personal journey of living from rest, not rush. She reminds listeners that if they're tired of the constant grind and crave a settled and meaningful life, they're in the right place. Teresa reflects on her recent travels and experiences, highlighting the importance of choosing how we spend our time. She emphasizes her preference for avoiding the word "busy" and instead focuses on making intentional choices that enrich and fulfill her. During her travel, she led a retreat for her church's core leadership team and spoke at a community event in Florida. Teresa recognizes the value of stepping outside of our comfort zones and seeking new relationships and connections. One of the key insights Teresa gained from her recent experiences is the danger of becoming siloed in our own circles. She encourages listeners to approach relationships with open hands and to be intentional about nurturing connections in various areas, such as family, friends, work relationships, community, and long-term friendships. She shares her own journey of expanding her network and the joy she found in connecting with new people. Teresa also emphasizes the importance of nurturing these relationships and being open to where they may lead. Teresa acknowledges that loneliness is a prevalent issue in today's work culture, especially for those who work from home or are entrepreneurs. She encourages listeners to be proactive in seeking connections and not falling into isolation. She shares her personal approach of regularly reviewing her calendar and intentionally making time for people blocks. Whether it's family, friends, colleagues, or new connections, Teresa believes that healthy relationships are vital to a fulfilling life. In conclusion, Teresa invites listeners to join the new REALIFE Process Community, an online space where like-minded individuals can connect, access resources, and support one another in living a more purposeful and intentional life. She explains that the community will cater to various interests, from entrepreneurship to spiritual formation, and will provide opportunities for deepening connections and finding support in a community setting. Teresa concludes by reminding listeners to be open to the extraordinary moments that arise from personal connections and to keep seeking meaningful relationships.   01:20 Practical tools, inspiring stories, community, restful living. 04:55 Shorter time in business mastermind, lost friend, seeking new relationships. 09:19 Seeking pre-determined time for meaningful relationships. 13:23 Reconnecting with old friends brings joy. 17:21 Build great, healthy communities.

She believes that self leadership is not just about making intentional decisions but also about leading oneself according to values and priorities. Kathy's expertise lies in using tools like the CliftonStrengths assessment and the Enneagram to support her clients in developing their self leadership skills. During the conversation, Kathy emphasizes the importance of self leadership in effectively leading others. She highlights a personal experience from her teenage years that had a profound impact on her own leadership development. This experience revealed to her the power of intentional leadership and ultimately shaped her career path.
