To say things have been chaotic in the Copeland household is an understatement. 

We could easily complain, break down, seek out empathy from others, and play the victim card but we just aren’t those people. 

Instead, we’ve held it together (for the most part), have come together as a family, and are pushing through one day at a time. 

We’ll dive into all the details in this week’s PUSH podcast episode (you won’t wanna miss this)! 

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

• Intentionality is parenting (07:42)

• Chaos all over (24:49)
• Hella efficiency (25:12)
• Not my circus, not my monkeys (32:20)
• Life lesson from Jordan Copeland (34:30)

The one thing that comes to mind as we deal with all this craziness is intention. 

We’ve realized after 40 years that when you show up in life with intention and purpose, things just have a way of working itself out for you. 

The truth is, there’s no medal for the BIGG...

Friends… we have a STORY packed episode for this week on the PUSH podcast! 

If you follow us on Instagram (@janellecopeland & @copewitheddie) then you know that we recently celebrated a major milestone of 17 years of marriage! So crazy, right??

Would you agree that most people wish and pray for more money? 

Back in 2009, we were those people. We filed for bankruptcy, we both lost our 6-figure corporate jobs and had NO idea how we were going to pay our bills. 

The thing is, people think that making more money will help alleviate debt, have a bigger house, or be better off; when in reality, all they need to know is how to make their money WORK for them. 

Something we had NO IDEA how to do 10 years ago. 

That’s why in this week’s PUSH we’re sharing all our MONEY TIPS so you can be more organized and financially literate as we enter into the new year. 

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

When was the last time you did something completely out of your comfort zone? Or maybe a better question is: when was the last time you challenged yourself to do something that made you uncomfortable? 

 If you can’t remember the last time you’ve purposely put yourself in a situation that you knew would be unfamiliar and possibly uncomfortable then friend you may be robbing yourself of joy. 

 The truth is, when we go beyond what’s familiar in life and what’s comfortable we open ourselves up to new experiences and opportunities. When you close yourself off to trying new things and constantly seeking familiarity we can missout on new things that can bring us fulfillment and joy; and friend, we don’t want that for you. 

 In this episode, we’re sharing how the key to happiness can be found by getting outside of your comfort zone and embracing the unknown. 

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

• The most embarrassing moment of Janelle’s life (03:47)

• Your Comfort...

Question: How do you respond when you’re faced with conflict? 

Do you face the conflict head on? Do you take a few days to think about the situation and then address it? Or do you completely avoid it? 

If you’re the type to completely avoid it you may also  be the type who is prone to holding grudges. 

While everybody is susceptible to holding a grudge, some personality types are more prone to it. They might be doing it as a coping mechanism or they simply don’t know how to release it when they feel they’ve been wronged. 

The truth is, holding grudges is one of the most common ways people respond when dealing with conflict in relationships and in life. Some of us even hold grudges to the point where it begins to impact our mental and physical health. 

This is why it’s so important to learn how to navigate conflict and discover the root of why you can’t move on. 

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

Have you ever questioned what type of life you want to live? 

Not just in terms of money or family, but in terms of peace, stress, or happiness? 

Figuring out your priorities and what aligns with the type of life you want to live is crucial to how you view the world and the perspective you have of it. 

An important aspect of learning this is accessing the meaning that you apply to different scenarios and situations and how it impacts how you perceive the world. 

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

• Eddie’s and my what in the world (01:29)
• You catch more bees with honey (08:09)
• Shifting your perspective (12:58)
• Are you making things permanent when they’re not? (14:11)
• Don’t speak in absolutes (15:28)
• Pervasiveness – avoid blanket judgment (16:29)
• Personalization – you are not the problem; your behavior is (26:26)
• What’s easier to change – your behavior or you? (31:36)

In this episode, we’re challenging you to shift your perspective as you think about how...

Do you ever feel like everything that happens in your life is happening TO YOU? Like no matter what you do, you can’t catch a break or whenever things finally start to go your way something happens and you’re faced with another problem or obstacle? 

If you feel this way, you may be playing the victim. 

Let me esplain… 

Sh*t happens in life. We can pray for a problem-free life over and over again, the reality is as long as we’re living problems are going to erupt. They are what help us grow and push us into different seasons of our life and mold us into the people we’re meant to be. 

Some of us take those problems as opportunities to learn and grow. While others see problems as the world coming down on us and preventing us from accomplishing the things we want. 

The thing is, just because you’re in a tough season and are being tested with different obstacles, doesn’t mean that you aren’t meant for success or aren’t capable of receiving the desires you wish and pray for.

If you clicked on this episode, I think it’s safe to assume that maybe you’re feeling a bit lonely in this season of life right now and friend I’m here to tell you, you’re not alone. 

In fact, the reason we decided to record this episode on loneliness is because I’m dealing with this feeling right now and I truly believe a lot of us could use some hope and inspiration to start rebuilding and seeking connection. 

Coming off the pandemic with most of us sheltering at home, focusing on our own things; the topic of mental health has become a HUGE issue in our world. 

As humans, we’re meant to be social and we NEED and thrive off human interaction. Without that, we tend to turn our feelings and thoughts inward and we try to handle all the things by ourselves, which can be overwhelming. 

Although, self-independence is important and finding solitude with yourself helps you become more aware of who you are; connection and love is a crucial part of our own happiness. 

That’s why this we...

Being parents to three girls is a HUGE part of our lives that we’ve shared on the podcast before. Recently we just celebrated a milestone of sending two of our daughters off to college (one in Scotland) and we’ve been asked by so many of our friends, “how it feels,” and “if we’re sad”?

Truthfully, there’s no sadness at ALL. Of course we will miss them and our house will feel a little bit more empty but the reality is, sending your kids off into the world without you is a part of life. 

We truly believe that our job as parents is to prepare and equip them for the outside world so they can experience life outside our home and handle the challenges that life throws at them. 

This week we’re sharing the top five parenting tips that we’ve followed over the years in the hopes that if you have kids or when you do, that you’ll be able to give them the tools and guidance they’ll need to succeed without you holding their hand. 

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

Fact is, every single of us at some point in our lives is going to experience imposter syndrome.

If you don’t know what imposter syndrome is then let me enlighten you.

Imposter syndrome is the inability to see how GOOD you actually are because you’re blinded by the idea that you don’t belong. 

We experience this especially when we enter into a new level of our lives or a place that feels unfamiliar. Whether that’s in our careers, or in business, it’s easy to fall into the belief that you don’t belong. 

Just know that it’s completely normal and it doesn’t make you incapable of experiencing success or accomplishing your big goals and dreams. If anything, it means you’re a human who’s looking to GROW and friend that’s an amazing thing. 

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

• What is imposter syndrome? (11:24)
• Don't suffer from imposter syndrome; use it to research and learn (16:37)
