    082: Maximizing Life's Moments: Navigating Time Use Across Six Life Stages
    May 15 2024
    Maximizing Life's Moments: Navigating Time Use Across Six Life Stages In today's episode, we're delving deep into the American Time Use Study that has opened our eyes to how we allocate our time across different stages of life. This discussion is particularly poignant as we both celebrate turning 50 recently, a milestone that brings reflection and a renewed focus on intentional living. We break down the study's six shocking statistics that outline the typical American's time allocation from birth through old age, offering insights and practical advice on making the most of the time we have. In This Episode: Introduction to the American Time Use Study: We introduce the study's approach to analyzing how different age groups spend their time, setting the stage for a detailed discussion on each of the six defined life stages. Stage 1: Birth to Age 18 — Family Time Peaks: The study reveals that the most time spent with family occurs before turning 18. We discuss the implications of this finding and share personal reflections on valuing family time. Stage 2: Ages 20-60 — Dominance of Work Life: With four decades often spent in the workplace, choosing a positive work environment is crucial. We talk about the long-term impact of work relationships and environment on overall well-being. Stage 3: The Decline of Friendships: Post-18, time spent with friends begins to wane, hitting a low at age 29. We explore why this happens and how to maintain these important relationships despite life’s changes. Stage 4: Choosing a Life Partner: Recognizing the lifelong impact of this decision, we emphasize the importance of choosing a partner who aligns with your values and with whom you can envision a lifelong journey. Stage 5: Increasing Solitude Post-40: As we grow older, solitude becomes more prevalent. We discuss how to embrace and find joy in solitude, ensuring it enriches rather than detracts from life. Stage 6: Parenting and Empty Nesting: The time spent with children is concentrated in the years before they reach adulthood, with a sharp decrease once they do. We offer strategies for maintaining strong relationships with adult children. Key Takeaways: Make Family Time Count: Understanding the limited time frame for maximum family interaction can inspire more meaningful and intentional family engagements. Prioritize Workplace Happiness: Given the significant chunk of life spent at work, fostering a healthy work environment is essential for long-term happiness. Keep Friendships Alive: We discuss the importance of actively maintaining friendships and adapting social circles as life evolves. Thoughtful Partner Selection: Choosing a life partner is a monumental decision, and we stress the importance of thoughtful consideration about this life-altering choice. Embrace and Enjoy Solitude: Learning to appreciate alone time is crucial as its frequency increases with age. Engage Actively with Your Children: Even as children grow and become independent, finding ways to remain an influential and supportive presence in their lives is key. Thank you for tuning in. We hope this exploration into the stages of time use empowers you to make informed decisions about how you spend your time. Remember, it's never too late to adjust your course and make the most of the time you have. Be the architect of your own life, and make choices that let you live fully and joyfully.

    Embracing 2024 Business Trends: Essential Insights for Women Entrepreneurs

    Hey everyone! We dove into a Forbes article that's all about the business trends for 2024. We didn't just skim through; we dug deep to make these trends more relatable and useful for women entrepreneurs like us. We wanted to break down the tech stuff and mix it with that essential human touch, which we all know is the heart of our businesses.

    In our chat, we explored how AI isn't just a techy tool but a real helper for any business, making our tasks easier without losing our personal voice. Remember Episode 71 where we talked all about using AI tools like ChatGPT? We're still all about making tech work for us without letting it take over.

    We also got real about the economy's ups and downs and how, as women entrepreneurs, we can navigate these with savvy and style. We discussed the importance of keeping that personal touch in our businesses—how making our customers feel seen and understood is totally irreplaceable by any AI.

    And you know, with all the talk about remote work, Julie reflected on how grateful she is to live in an era where she can work from virtually anywhere. It's a game-changer for maintaining that work-life blend (not balance, because let's be real, it's never perfectly balanced!).

    So, if you're curious about making your business more dynamic and ready for the future, or if you just want some company while you tackle your entrepreneur journey, give this episode a listen. We're here to share what we learn, laugh a bit, and maybe just inspire each other to be a little braver every day. Because, let's face it, bravery looks good on you! Tune in and let's get excited about what 2024 has in store for us.

    From Teacher to Cheese Artist, Kerry Hymas of Harvest & Graze Shares Her Incredible Journey to Entrepreneurship

    We had a great time chatting with Kerry Hymas from Harvest and Graze. Her journey from being a public school teacher to diving into the world of charcuterie is really incredible. Kerry shares how her decade-long teaching career and her mother’s influence as a long-time educator shaped her own path before she took a creative leap into entrepreneurship.

    Kerry’s venture into charcuterie began quite spontaneously at her mom's 60th birthday party, where she crafted an elaborate charcuterie board that spanned a 10-foot island. The board was a hit, inspiring her to consider turning this passion into a business. Despite the daunting aspects of starting up, Kerry’s love for hosting and entertaining fueled her decision to push forward.

    The turning point came when her mother-in-law showed her an Instagram post that sparked the idea that this could be more than just a hobby. This led to a whirlwind of activity, from brainstorming business names on a drive home to navigating the complexities of food laws with helpful guidance from a surprisingly supportive health department official.

    Kerry also dives into how she utilized a ghost kitchen to comply with food safety regulations, allowing her to expand her offerings from the comfort of a professional setting without the overhead of owning a physical space. Her story is a vibrant tale of community support, creative passion, and entrepreneurial spirit, showing how she turned a simple idea into a thriving business that combines her loves of teaching, hosting, and creating beautiful, delicious food.

    For anyone who's ever thought about turning a passion into a profession or adding a little creativity to their culinary endeavors, Kerry’s journey from choir teacher to charcuterie connoisseur is truly inspiring. She wraps up by sharing some tips for anyone looking to create their own charcuterie boards at home, emphasizing the joy of mixing flavors, textures, and colors to create something uniquely satisfying. Tune in to hear how Kerry crafts not only beautiful grazing boards but also a vibrant, fulfilling life that blends family, creativity, and business.
