Power of After Show ·

2026/01/06

Here's what I'm hearing from many professionals at mid‑career and halftime: "I set good goals… but life gets busy, priorities shift, and momentum fades." This is not a motivation problem—it's an implementation problem. In the companion article and show Setting Goals for the New Year, we focused on clarity, values, quarterly planning, and measurable goals. This article is the next step. It answers the real question: How do you actually follow through—consistently and sustainably? Implementation is

2025/12/30

The start of a new year brings fresh energy, renewed motivation, and the opportunity to reset our direction setting goals. Yet many people create goals without structure—resulting in good intentions but little progress. In fact well-known statistics verify that 88-92% fail to achieve their New Year's goals, or resolutions. A powerful year begins with clarity, alignment, and a workable plan. This show and accompanying article outlines a step-by-step framework for setting meaningful and practical

383.Stories that Keep You Stuck with Deborah Johnson

Power of After Show ·

2025/12/23

Stories shape us long before we realize it. As a kid, I could lose entire summer afternoons in piles of library books, swept away by fairy tales I knew weren't real—but still felt powerful. As adults, we craft our own versions of those tales, only now they run quietly in the background: narratives about being "too old," "not ready," "not talented enough," or "certain to fail." I hear these same internal scripts from mid-career professionals and entrepreneurs all the time, and they can be just as

381.Compartmentalizing Stress with Deborah Johnson

Power of After Show ·

2025/12/09

Some days feel like everything hits at once—a demanding workload that keeps growing, a coworker who pushes boundaries, unfinished conversations waiting at home, and financial pressures that seem to tighten by the day. It's the kind of day that leaves you mentally stretched and wishing for just five minutes to breathe. In those moments, the idea of separating your stress into manageable pieces feels unrealistic. Yet the truth is that learning how to compartmentalize your stress can be one of the most

380.Redefining Traditions with Greg and Deb

Power of After Show ·

2025/12/02

Growing up, our Christmases were steeped in tradition—family gatherings with parents and grandparents, Christmas Eve on one side, Christmas Day on the other. There was always food, music, laughter, and that wonderful feeling of belonging. Over the years, life has shifted—our kids are grown, families live farther apart, and even health and travel have changed what holidays look like. This year, our celebration looks a little different too. In this episode, Greg and I reflect on how to find meaning

2025/11/25

In this episode, "No Substitute for Work," we dive into the timeless value of purposeful effort—something my Southern grandmother, Mimi, modeled daily as she hand-whipped meringue with a fork and raked leaves from the big oak tree without complaint. Her quiet diligence reflected an era when hard work was both a rhythm and a reward. We'll explore how that work ethic has evolved through history, the lasting benefits of meaningful labor, and how to define an ideal work-lifestyle that balances purpose

Resilience and stamina aren't just about pushing through tough times—they're about adapting, recovering, and finding steady footing when life or work shifts unexpectedly. Change, whether planned or forced, tests both our emotional strength and physical endurance. Building true resilience means cultivating habits that help you reset quickly, maintain perspective, and keep moving even when the path feels uncertain.

376.Developing Untapped Potential with Deborah Johnson

Power of After Show ·

2025/11/04

Potential isn't something we stumble upon by luck—it's something we uncover with intention. Too often, we treat potential like a buried treasure, sealed away in the past or hidden somewhere we'll never reach—especially at mid-career or halftime of life. But the truth is, potential isn't fixed; it's fluid. It expands or contracts based on what we believe, how we practice, and the environment we create around us. That's encouraging news. Because uncovering potential doesn't require scaling mountains

Change is inevitable. Yet, as we reach mid-career or the halftime of life, change often feels less like an adventure and more like a disruption. The roles we've played, the skills we've built, and the routines we've mastered have given us confidence and stability. But when shifts come—whether in career, family, health, or identity—they often leave us grappling with something deeply unsettling: discomfort. Becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable is one of the most important skills we can develop
