Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode #22 “I Had To Throw My Own College Graduation Party” - A Healing Moment”At my 1st generation college party when I graduated the 1st time, I gave out plaques to family members for supporting me down through the years in one way or another, limited resources and all. I think I was thanking them for there “presence” in my life no matter how small or great. Being that I came from a “single parent” household and their were many “financial struggles” after my parents divorce when I was 11 years old. So, that was always a factor in everything. The other factor is that my parents were not able to come together to do certain thin...2024-03-2337 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode #17 “The Importance Of Accountability”Test Pilot Episode #17 “The Importance Of Accountability “- This episode is about the benefits of having accountability in your life. It’s like an example I gave in this conversation about a person who was going to a party and knew that they didn’t need to have more than “two drinks.” So they asked an accountable “buddy” to remind them after 2 drinks to drink water or a non-alcoholic beverage. The goal was “not to over drink” be safe and get back home alive. So having the accountable support helped to meet that goal. There are so many ways to have “accountable vo...2023-07-1640 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode 16 - My “Facebook” CrossroadsTest Pilot Episode 16 - My “Facebook” Crossroads I’m trying to think of ways to stay connected on Facebook so I’m trying out some new things. I have been making some adjustments. Honestly, I thought about leaving Facebook all together. I don’t “like” the “high school” “competitive” nature of Facebook. I feel that it is “numbers” and “popularity” based driving people to do “insane” and “fake” things to get noticed. That is not what I am here for. I use Facebook as a portfolio, to blog, share content, share my creative talents and spread some type of inspiration to the people that follow me. I also h...2023-06-2518 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode #15 - Closing Last Few Contracts From Family Business During The Divorce.Test Pilot Episode #15 - What Happened To Those Last Few Contracts From The Family Business During Your Divorce? That’s a good question! In the course of the life of C&K Catering, LLC I managed over 200 contracts in 5 years. Under the guidance of legal counsel, I closed out the last few contracts that were already planned and signed off on. There were a few corporate events and weddings during that time. Although my ex husband (who was the chef and owner) had already left, I still honored the contracts because it was the right thing and ethical thing to do...2023-05-2028 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode #14 - What Is A Good Back Up Plan For Traveling Overseas “Post Pandemic?”After speaking with a few people who have traveled overseas either during the pandemic or post pandemic, I thought about some travel safety tips to consider. One person gave me an example of a friend who traveled overseas who got sick and ended up in the hospital with doctors who could not speak English. So, this person had an unexpected “extended stay.” They had to stay until they could get well enough to travel back to the U.S., quarantine and what not. Sounds kind of “nightmarish” right? Thankfully they finally made it back. I imagined being in that person’s shoes. W...2023-04-1725 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode #13 - Divorce Recovery After 30 Year Marriage - Wow! What A Story!I was moved to tears when I heard this lady’s story about being married for a such long period of time. She shared her story out loud in a store while working her gig job. The first marriage was 17 years. The 2nd marriage was 30 years. I suspect that the limo business she co-owned with her X husband hit record numbers in profit and the X got with a younger woman and left with a lot of money. I think the process took a devastating emotional financial toll on the X-wife and she just said “forget it.” After 30 years she probab...2023-04-0823 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode #12: A Few Ways To Address A False Rumor.The first time I encountered a rumor that really hurt my feelings was when I was in college. The rumor was that I wasn't practicing music as a lead soloist during individual practicing sessions. Some of the college students in the hallway accused me of "going with the music teacher." I was very upset and angry that these individuals decided to put that on my name. It was hard enough learning the words to songs or learning songs in another language. Then performing the songs in front of large crowds or in front of dignitaries was another "performance anxiety" within...2023-04-0626 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode #11 - If Some People Don't Like You, Be Sure To Like Yourself First!In Life you will find that some people will like you and others won't. If you are a "people pleaser" then it may bother you at times. My advice? Don't worry about it. Be sure to Like yourself first. When you love who you are then it will become easier to discern who is for you and who is not. Maybe you are in the process of redefining what is meaningful for you like I am. Not being “liked” does feel uncomfortable but it can also propel you into another layer of human growth and development. If you are a bad...2023-04-0425 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Ep #10 - Worst Date Vs. Best Date Ever? (Or Somewhere In Between)What's your best date or worst date "ever" experience? You know when it comes to people you may have dated in the past you may want to take that person "out of the date" if you could and keep the "location" right? The perfect dating spots that I've gone to were places like Paris France or taking a plane ride to Italy. Switzerland was adventurous. I loved the Christmas markets and castle excursions in Germany. Not all dates have been “fancy.” The coffee shops, picnics in park or just spending quality time are just as important. My very first date was...2023-03-2527 min

Kristie Janel ConversationsTest Pilot Episode #9 - "90 Day Weightloss Challenge"On this episode, I share some "transparent truths" about the ups and downs with the "weightloss monster" and why I decided to do a 90 Day Challenge after re-evalutating my weightloss journey. I also discuss why I think it's important to give yourself some grace while remaining consistent to your "new normal." Negative emotions like "shame" definitely trigger emotional eating traps. For me, being around food that I don't bring in the house is a big "late night eating trap." Another temptation is eating when my body is in pain from an injury. I also tend to eat more when I'm...2023-03-2322 min
