Not how much, but how; how to have these conversations and why they are so important. There is so much fear around money conversations that they just don’t happen. This often leaves partners in the dark about finances and kids money illiterate. Although this is not your intention; as a society Money is still the #1 taboo topic and we have still don’t know how to talk about it. Yet, “how” we learned the value of money at an early age drives the majority of our behaviors as an adult, we still don’t talk about i...2024-03-1019 minCCnDoc TalkLove vs. Acceptance, Which is MORE Important?CCnDoc have a philosophical conversation regarding which is more important, Love or Acceptance? Obviously, both, but if you cant have both, which matters more? If not received, what happens to our confidence? Learn how these two pivotal emotions impact our world. Just how important is it to get the love you need? And, is love more important than having someone’s acceptance? Or, is it acceptance that you really need?

Chances...2024-02-2924 minCCnDoc TalkThe Truth About Unconditional LoveToday CCnDoc discuss the truth about getting and giving unconditional love and how love/hate relationships are formed by having unrealistic expectations of others and yourself. Be it family, friends or political figures, how can you possibly love EVERYONE unconditionally? How do you get your own love needs met within yourself? And, if you love unconditionally can you still set boundaries with energy vampires? When you love unconditionally it is a “state of giving” that ultimately leads to your inner peace and joy.

And in order to counteract it, you have to say the opposite/positive about yourself at least three times in a row? It's called the Positivity Ratio. Sounds crazy right?
Think about how many times a day we put ourselves down without thinking, use self-deprecating humor, or inflict self-harm with our worrying thoughts. What about illness? All that fear and worry doesn't help us get well!

We also introduce a syndrome called LARS (lower anterior resection syndrome) in this episode. LARS is a common invisible disability for those who have had surgeries for colorectal cancer, ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel diseases.

Ever wonder how to communicate better with your partner? Especially when one or both of you have been in heavy concentration mode (doing your own thing), and you come back together, only to find yourselves disconnected emotionally. You know the drill, something of interest sucks you in and the seconds turn into minutes. Then hours later your partner is balancing on a delicate teeter-totter, not knowing if you are open to being interrupted, if you’re goi...2023-08-1422 minCCnDoc TalkHope and Pride - A Call To ActionJune is Pride Month!

We are admittedly old-school hikers, taught by an even older-school hiker, the etiquette of the trail. Is there such a thing? YES! Further, we live in Colorado where Leave No Trace is a very big deal. Suffice it to say there is a new breed of hiker out there...2023-04-2121 minCCnDoc TalkWhat Do Your Phone Contacts Say About You?When was the last time you sorted through your phone contacts?

But, having gone up an...2023-03-0527 minCCnDoc TalkThe Cancer Hangover - Life After Cancer (and other major life events)WAIT!!! Before you run off thinking this episode doesn’t apply to you, think again! The Cancer Hangover is a metaphor for any major life event, illness or what we call in our book “Courageous Money”, A Life Falls Event.

A fitting start to the new year and our new season, this podcast focuses on a tool that we call the "Mindfulness Circle", which we created after taking a couple's course through Insight Timer (our favorite meditation app).

Family dynamics can be challenging even for the healthiest of families. Add to that the stress of these last few years of politics and pandemic, which have certainly stretched many family relationships thin, not to mention the crazy phenomenon of regression that occurs the moment you get back into your family unit (once the youngest always the youngest), and trying to accommodate so many different opinions, tastes, routines and desires into a seamless and peaceful gathering.

Do you feel guilt when you set boundaries that preserve your mental health or make time just for you? Do you say yes to obligations and events because you can’t say no? How do we get to a place where we feel good about taking care of ourselves without feeling guilty, especially when we are in relationships? Where is the balance?
