Recognize Your Buffering with Jane Springer (Pt 2)

Welcome back Strong Roots Listeners! In this episode of Strong Roots, my guest, Jane Springer and I continue our talk about buffering. If you haven’t listened to the last episode on this topic, I suggest you take a listen to that one as well Click Here to listen. Buffering, by definition, is the protection against stressful experiences that is afforded by an individual's social support. During this podcast we talk about buffering behaviors that have negative consequences, such as eating when stressed or watching to much Netflix/TV. Jane and I talk about recognizing those behaviors to help curb those behaviors and how recognizing them could help you develop new neural pathways to combat those bad habits.

Strong Roots Episode 9 - Nurse Practitioner Megan Black

In this episode of Strong Roots, I chat with Nurse Practitioner and Hospitalist Megan Black. Megan is a relative of mine, and we get the chance to catch up and get to know a little more about each other. She explains what her role as a hospitalist is, and how it relates to our health. Our society has an official definition of hospitalists: “Physicians whose primary professional focus is the general medical care of hospitalized patients. Their activities include patient care, teaching, research, and leadership related to hospital medicine.” Megan also runs a clinic call BLACK OAK CLINIC. Black Oak Clinic LLC is a rural healthcare clinic owned and operated by a nurse practitioner in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. They serve and focus more on adolescent, adult and gerontological health needs. This was a really fun conversation, and I’m sure you will enjoy!!

DEAR DEBT MANIFESTO

Welcome to my home on the web. Dear Debt is committed to inspiring others to get out of debt for good and take back their lives.

It’s a safe space, a community and a place where people can talk openly about the emotional aspects of being in debt — the highs of making progress, the lows of feeling buried in debt, and the plateaus of feeling stuck.

Dear Debt was founded on a few principles:

Everyone matters and we can all learn from each other.

Although we are all in debt for different reasons, we are in this together and we will help inspire each other to get out of debt.

There is no judgement.

You are not a loan. You are not alone.

Your self-worth is not based on your net worth.

Kerrie Beene, CFP®

FINANCIAL COACH

My own personal financial journey has taught me that while they're important, life is more than numbers. Finding joy in the journey towards personal goals is key. A smart plan with a lot of heart goes a long way to keeping daily financial decisions in line with your long term goals. I graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma State University with a degree in Business Administration  and hold a certificate in Financial Planning from Wake Forest University.  I passed the CFP exam in November of 2016 and I'm currently working towards my service hours. I began my career in financial planning by starting my own company, Beene Financial Planning. Having the desire to work as a team, I then joined Irvine Wealth Planning Strategies. My roots in Southeast Oklahoma  have given me great insight on the need for financial planning that is not just investment focused, but also on all the other financial planning decisions.  I enjoy, and work best, with those who are ready to take control of their finances and use their money to fulfill their goals and dreams

Fiscal Fitness Club of America

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Fiscal Fitness Clubs of America believes that the purpose of money is to first create financial security and then to accomplish your goals, while matching your values. We believe that joy in life can’t be separated from money, and that reducing financial stress through the management of cash flow and assets can add more joy to your life than owning “stuff,” or buying experiences at the expense of your financial security. We also believe that “knowing” and “doing” are not the same. Our goal is to give you the knowledge and tools to manage your financial life, so you get what you want from your labor and money. We are all about empowering you, not about you needing us. Our goal is that, at the end of our relationship, you will have confidence in your financial path and feel comfortable knowing what you need to do to manage your financial resources and advisors. That doesn’t mean you might not prefer to delegate some or all of the tasks to us or someone else. Whether or not our relationship continues, our goal is that you will have confidence in your ability to make informed decisions.

There is an important consequence of this philosophy. You will be committing your time and energy on a regular basis to:

  • Gathering and sharing data

  • Completing assignments, such as meeting with your insurance agent or organizing your paperwork

  • Committing to becoming comfortable with technology as a tool to manage your finances

  • Acting upon mutually agreed recommendations
