I hope the title of this episode doesn’t come off as really morbid but the topic of death and loss have really been circling our lives right now and it’s something that we’re thinking more and more about and we believe it’s something that a lot of people don’t really talk about. 

We had mentioned in last week’s episode how this mentor and life coach that we follow, Brendon Burchard, had talked about 30 questions to ask your parents before it’s too late, which was something he did with his dad before his father passed away and he talks about how he re-watches the video of his father answering those questions about twice a year. 

You can get your FREE copy of 30 questions HERE

So with all the loss that we’ve been surrounded by recently and stumbling across this 30 questions interview, we decided to talk about life, legacy, and how you would want people to remember you when you die.

Stay with me here cause it’s a great episode! 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

...

You wanna know why I take notes ALL the time? Because I’m a true believer that things cross our paths for a reason. 

As we get older, it’s so much easier for us to just say, “I already know that,” (which we talked about in episode 74) but in reality, the things we think we know is what’s holding us back from taking action in our lives. 

The reason I’m sharing this with you is because if you’ve been following me recently on Instagram (@janellecopeland) then you know that I’ve become #OBSESSED with Clubhouse!! If you don’t know what Clubhouse is then you need to get on it and get yourself an invite! In short, it’s an app that’s like LIVE Ted Talks, podcasts, and seminars that you have a front row seat too! The BEST part is it’s audio only and you have the option to contribute to the conversation or consume information from people ALL over the world, including billionaire’s, growth & mindset coaches, and even celebrities. 

Now do you see WHY I’m obsessed??? It’s like that analogy of ...

This week we’re talking about one of life’s BIGGEST and most daunting questions… 

“What’s your purpose?” 

So many of us try to discover our passions; especially around our 30’s and 50’s. It’s like we go through a mid-mid life crisis and a mid-life crisis. 

We start to question all the decisions we’ve made up to that point in our lives. Is working here the best thing for me? Am I good at this? Did I make the wrong decision leaving school? Did I go to the right school? Should I have left that relationship? 

The list goes on and on and on. 

You get so in your head about it that you start to feel stuck in life and begin to question your purpose. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

• What is passion and how do you find it (09:49)
• The long journey before you get to your passion (16:13)
• Channeling energy into the things we are passionate about (18:38)
• Pursuing new things to find what excites and can become your passion (20:00)
• How to reignite your passion (25:55)
...

We all know those people that always say, “I know,” whenever they ask for advice from others. 

You know, that friend that always says they know what they have to do but don’t do it anyway. 

Let me just say, it’s one of my BIGGEST pet peeves when people don’t take action. They know exactly what steps they have to do to achieve a certain goal, yet they don’t  take any action towards accomplishing it.

We decided to name this the “knowing problem.” We think because we know something that means we’re doing something about it, when in reality, you aren’t doing shit!

In this week’s episode, we’re discussing how to PUSH past the “knowing” and how to get moving! 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

• Routine Vs. Commitment; which is more important (01:58)
• Challenging what you think you know (09:56)
• How to position yourself so that someone can hold you accountable (14:58)
• What's holding you back (17:32)
• Stop being a know-it-all and approach things with curiosity (20:14...

When we started this podcast over a year ago (crazy right?!), our main goal was to be open, honest, and treat every single conversation as if we were hosting a backyard barbecue with our friends just talking about life. 

Originally, we were hesitant about sharing this episode because we don’t want this podcast to be ALL about race, politics, and COVID; even though all of those things are current conversations in our household; but this podcast is designed to help us show up differently and push through in life while having empathy, understanding, and seeing things from other people's perspectives.  

The past couple of episodes have been centered around social injustice, racial inequality, and the pandemic but we believe that these conversations help with healing and seeing the perspective that other's have to offer.  

In light of this, we’re sharing a recent story that occurred during our 16th wedding anniversary celebration. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…

This was an episode I was reluctant to record but our team, my friends, my followers, have been telling me I have to talk about it so Eddie decided to hit record and now we’re here. 

This week’s episode is about the tragedy that happened at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th and it’s an uncomfortable conversation but it’s a conversation that I have to have with my children, my husband; and it’s a conversation I hope you have with your family and loved ones. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

• Why Janelle wants an apology from all those who have supported Trump (01:46)
• How to decipher when you are going down a path that betrays the values you uphold (05:03)
• The epitome of white privilege (09:19)
• How our beliefs affect our personal brands (13:41)?
• Where do you draw the line? (16:55)
• Standing up for the right thing and being on the right side of history (21:08)
• Having a dialogue with people who have a different belief system (37:08)

First, let me just say that...

With 2021 finally here, you’ve probably been hearing all about goal setting and starting the new year off right. Well, if you listened to our previous episode then you know more people actually don’t set goals. Whether it’s because of lack of belief, lack of discipline, or just an unwillingness to get out of your comfort zone, we shared the 10 reasons why people refuse to set goals. 

In continuation of last week's episode, we’re sharing the flip side of that and WHY it’s so important to set goals and how you can crush them in the new year. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…

• Dream big (13:42)
• Play the long game (15:55)
• Visualize it often and regularly (18:13)
• Create accountability (20:59)
• Prepare for success (25:26)
• Reward yourself to stay motivated (27:17)
• Give yourself a day off (30:23)
• Take your feelings out of it (32:25)
• Surround yourself with success (33:15)
• Self-regulate and govern yourself (40:20)

Before you listen, it’s important to remind you ...

Question: Do you set goals every year? Or do you set goals every month? Or maybe you don’t set goals at all? 

As we start the new year, we wanna know why so many people don’t set goals or they do but never get far with them. 

Coming out of 2020, which was a year that was flipped upside down in terms of goals and plans, it’s no surprise that people are hesitant to create goals leading into 2021. But just because plans got flipped in 2020, doesn’t mean we haven’t learned to pivot our goals and plans in the year to come. 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…

• They are stuck and just staring at the problem (13:13)
• They don’t know how to get out of the problem (15:04)
• They lack belief (16:05)
• They lack discipline (18:57)
• They have never really taken control of their life (20:12)
• They’ve had previous disappointments (24:47)
• They are filed with fear which prevents them from setting goals (26:42)
• They are just plain lazy (28:45)
• How the culture of instant gratificat...

It’s THROWBACK Tuesday this week on the PUSH Podcast and we’re taking you back to episode 11, Leaving All Your B.S. In 2019! 

As we come to a close on the dumpster fire year, 2020, we think it’s important to break down the ABC’S of reflection and goal setting! 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed…

• How our ABCs gives you closure for 2020 and prepares you for the new year
• The three As you should be working on in 2021 (04:40)
• The three Bs you should be working on in 2021 (17:58)
• The three Cs you should be working on in 2021 (27:49)
• How to integrate the ABCs to win in the new year (38:06)

Although this year was a disappointment to say the least; we were challenged in so many ways that only allowed us to grow and learn even more about ourselves. 

This year was not about receiving everything you’ve ever wanted. This year was about being grateful for everything you have. That’s why this week’s episode is so important to hear (*again) before we ring in 2021. 

We have...

Do you find yourself being taken advantage of over and over again? Do you feel like you’re constantly settling and never getting what you truly want? 

Friend, it may be because your boundaries suck when it comes to your relationships! 

Relationships and other aspects of life would be so different if we learned to create boundaries. 

We wouldn’t settle for potential. We wouldn’t put up with the way others speak to us. We wouldn't accept less than what we deserve. 

Yet, so many of us suffer in our relationships because we don’t know how to set boundaries! 

Here’s a breakdown of what Eddie and I discussed… 

• Setting boundaries to protect your family's health (05:13)
• The one boundary that we exercise in our marriage (19:25)
• It is your responsibility to teach people how to treat you (25:00)
• There's a consequence to everything in life (30:45)
