   74. You Are the Company You Keep

   🎙️ Hot Flash Chronicles – Episode: You Are the Company You Keep 🫶✨ Time is the one thing we cannot get back, so who we spend it with matters more than we think In this episode, Angie and Shelly talk about the people we surround ourselves with and how much influence they actually have on our lives. From the idea that you are shaped by the five people you spend the most time with to the reality that those five can change over time, this conversation is about being intentional, protective, and honest about your relationships. They dig into friendships that are easy, friendships that push you to grow, relationships that no longer fit, and why it is okay to reassess who gets access to your time and energy. The conversation also touches on grief, safety, world stress, and why laughter with trusted people feels more important than ever right now. 💡 What You Will Hear in This Episode ⏳ Time Is the Real Currency Why time is the most valuable thing you give anyone and why it deserves intention 👥 The Five People Rule How the people you spend the most time with shape your mindset, confidence, and growth 🐶 What If Three of Them Are Chihuahuas A very important and hilarious question about how pets fit into the five ✂️ Pruning Relationships Why it is okay to gently step back from people who no longer add to your life 🌱 Reason Season Lifetime How some people are meant for a moment, some for a chapter, and some forever 🤍 Friendships That Feel Easy What it looks like when a relationship does not require effort, negotiation, or recovery time 🧠 Safe People Matter Why having people you feel emotionally safe with is critical, especially during stressful times 🌍 The Weight of the World Right Now How outside stress amplifies exhaustion, fear, and anxiety and why community matters 🎭 Celebrity Loss and Real Grief Why losing public figures can still feel personal and meaningful 📈 If You Are the Smartest Person in the Room Why growth often requires finding rooms where you are not the most skilled 🚪 Leaving Jobs Groups or Relationships Why walking away can be an act of self respect 📢 Follow and Support the Podcast 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hot-flash-chronicles/id1802239722 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hot-flash-chronicles/id1802239722) 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5f8iMNCItgjL79nC1jXA5w (https://open.spotify.com/show/5f8iMNCItgjL79nC1jXA5w) 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HotflashChronicles (https://www.youtube.com/@HotflashChronicles) 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HotFlashChronicles (https://www.facebook.com/HotFlashChronicles) 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotflashchroniclespodcast (https://www.instagram.com/hotflashchroniclespodcast) 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hotflashchronicles (https://www.tiktok.com/@hotflashchronicles) 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/hotflashchronicles (https://linktr.ee/hotflashchronicles) 💬 Who are the people that make up your five right now.

   73. Redefining Success and Setting Goals That Actually Work

   🎙️ Hot Flash Chronicles – Episode: Redefining Success and Setting Goals That Actually Work 🎯✨ Success is not just money. Goals are not one size fits all. And sometimes getting out of bed really is a win In this episode, Angie and Shelly dive into the idea of success and how wildly different it can look depending on where you are in life. They talk about why measuring success only by money misses the point, how goals need to be personal and flexible, and why so many of us set ourselves up to fail by aiming for things that were never realistic in the first place. This is an honest conversation about redefining success, setting goals that are attainable and sustainable, and giving yourself permission to measure your life by what actually matters to you. 💡 What You Will Hear in This Episode 💰 Why Success Is Not Just About Money How financial stability can reduce stress but does not guarantee happiness or fulfillment 🧠 Success Changes With Seasons of Life Why what felt like success at thirty may look completely different at fifty ❤️ Time as a Measure of Success Having time for people you love, rest, travel, and experiences that fill you up 🌍 Experiences Over Things Why travel, culture, food, and shared memories matter more than stuff 📋 Working Backwards From a Goal How starting with the end in mind helps you break big dreams into realistic steps ⚖️ Big Goals vs Real Life Why setting goals that ignore your current reality almost always leads to burnout 🍽️ The Weight Loss Example How unrealistic expectations and all or nothing thinking sabotage progress 🔁 Micro Adjustments Add Up Why small consistent changes matter more than dramatic overhauls 🪜 Saying Yes Means Saying No How every commitment costs time and energy and why that matters 🧘 You Only Have So Many Spoons Why you cannot do everything every day and how choosing your priorities helps 📝 Counting What You Did Do Why acknowledging your daily wins changes how you see yourself 💬 People Pleasing and Authenticity Why not everyone has to like you and why that is actually okay 🌱 Grace and Patience With Yourself Why change takes longer than we want and why that does not mean you are failing 📢 Follow and Support the Podcast 🎧 Podcast Episodes: https://hotflashchroniclespodcast.podbean.com (https://hotflashchroniclespodcast.podbean.com) 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hot-flash-chronicles/id1802239722 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hot-flash-chronicles/id1802239722) 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5f8iMNCItgjL79nC1jXA5w (https://open.spotify.com/show/5f8iMNCItgjL79nC1jXA5w) 📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HotflashChronicles (https://www.youtube.com/@HotflashChronicles) 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HotFlashChronicles (https://www.facebook.com/HotFlashChronicles) 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hotflashchroniclespodcast (https://www.instagram.com/hotflashchroniclespodcast) 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hotflashchronicles (https://www.tiktok.com/@hotflashchronicles) 🌐 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/hotflashchronicles (https://linktr.ee/hotflashchronicles)
