Episode #126 — Finding Balance with Shelia Heard

/0 Comments/in /by

Is it a constant struggle to find balance in your life? Today on Financial Fluency, I have Shelia Heard with me. Shelia is a retired Army veteran and the founder of My Life. My Terms Movement. On the show, Shelia will help provide tips to help keep things more in balance.

Shelia tells me that she originally didn’t plan to retire from the Army and jump right into her business. Sadly, one family tragedy after another came year after year for Shelia. First, her daughter got sick and lost her eyesight and mobility. After that, her youngest son was diagnosed with a mental illness. And the year after, her oldest son passed away and her younger son was charged with the murder.

Shelia works with all kinds of women to help them find awareness to get them to understand where (and why) they are now. To her, shifting your mindset is the first step to change.

Quotes from the Show

“This is my life. I need to be responsible for it.”

“You can’t see everything. You have to listen to the coach…who is it that you want to be like? Who is it that you want to become? What can you do to have that life that you want?”

Shelia’s Personal Message

“Control self, control your life. Pain is unavoidable, suffering is a choice. Why: The storm can blow you any way but loose; however, you can position yourself to blow every which way and still come out focused and ready to take the next step despite the odds.”

Episode #86 Healthy Balance with Rachita Reddy

/0 Comments/in /by

Are you overweight, suffer from bloat and/or high blood pressure or have a family history of these things?  Today I am pleased to have Dr. Rachita Reddy with me.  Rachita is a double board certified Nephrologist (kidney specialist), and Internist.  Her emphasis is on wellness and healthy balance, rather than treating sickness, and helps her clients manage hypertension and weight loss towards better health.  

In an article she recently had published, Rachita share some great tips on how to get ready for a big event where you want to look your best and shed some belly bloat.  These included eating more asparagus, drinking a gallon of water daily, and for 4 days prior to the event, going without any carbs or alcohol.  

Her website, www.Reddy4HealthyBalance.com, has loads of tips to help readers lower their blood pressure naturally, lose weight, and create a healthy lifestyle.

Rachita has a side business doing 1:1 health coaching, so she can reach people before they have kidney problems, and help them prevent illnesses and ultimately, live a longer, healthier life, and avoid expensive health care costs in the future.  She is also creating a series of articles on the importance of water as a health benefit along with a step by step course on how to implement it to help with energy, weight loss, bloating and blood pressure management.

Rachita not only talks the talk, she walks the walk!  She recently participated in her first power-lifting competition and came in third!  As the daughter of Neelam Sethi, creator of the website http://www.raisetopkids.com/ , Rachita credits her parents for encouraging her to work hard and go the extra mile to better her life and that of others.       

Rachita Shares her Personal Message   

Is it possible to have a successful job, raise a close family, maintain a social life AND look better than your pre-baby body? Over the past 3 years, I have transformed from a never before exerciser eating a chronic take-out diet into a regular gym attendee who now prepares home cooked meals and packs lunches for work. I have lost 40% of my body fat, dropped from a size 10 to a size 2 (while having 3 children under the age of 7!), and coached dozens of my patients to lose 20+ pounds while reversing their high blood pressure. Many of my strategies can be found on my website Reddy4HealthyBalance.com.

You can learn more about Rachita and how she can help you on her website at www.Reddy4HealthyBalance.com.
