Today's podcast is with SuperStar US Naval Academy Student, Maddox D. Maddox challenges me with real life questions facing college students aspiring to transition to careers after college. He also asks great questions pertaining to any young adult, who has recently transitioned from high school to college.

Maddox's parlay into the the US Naval Academy is no easy feat. The US Naval Academy has an acceptance rate of 8%. Not great odds, but Maddox got in with great grades, great test scores and great parents.

Maddox has big plans for his life. I commend him for his willingness to banter with me about finances at a basic level, which will ultimately lead to his future success.

By the way, Maddox is the older brother of Luka D, whom I had Q & A on last weeks' episode. Maddox is also my nephew and godson.

This was a really fun episode as I learned a lot from Maddox.

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing High School Student/Athlete Luka D. Luka is also known as my godson and nephew. Luka came to me about a year ago and asked why I have not interviewed any young folks on the podcast about their questions about finance. Well, I decided to bring his question to life. Luka is wise beyond his years as you will see by his questions and methodical process on the podcast.

I was both happy and inspired to interview him. I probably learned just as much from him as he took away from the interview with me.

Luka, thank you for inspiring me grow.

We are back for another wonderful season of Real Talk with Life After Grief Chris. The opening of Season 7 is all about teenagers and college students asking financial questions. During Season 6, I was probed by some very curious high schoolers and college students to answer financial questions, which are important to up and coming full-fledged adults.

This was really fun for me as it took me back to my high school and college years. Of course, I will also throw in some good information for adults and parents along the way.

Cheers & see you on the next episode!

In the final episode of Season 6, I bring a life of trauma full circle. I talk about being grateful in spite of all that life has thrown my way. The people in my life have carried me to the promise land of Life After Grief. Honorable mention includes: my wife, my sons, Fr. Leo and my family and friends.

We will return in the fall. Have a great summer!

Cheers and Be Well!!

In this week's episode, I have someone who knows all of my podcasts very intimately. Meet Caroline Schafer. She is a friend and also happens to be my podcast editor. Caroline is very similar to many of my podcast listeners through our shared experiences.

We share experience with childhood trauma. We also share experiences through the lens of parental caretaker. Her stories really resonate as she exemplifies the shared experience of so many listeners.

Her relatable experiences make her very easy to listen and talk to.

I would also highly recommend Caroline for the great work she does.

Here is how to contact Caroline:

In this week's episode I go into detail about Trauma Response. More specifically, the six trauma responses.

I talk about the details of each response and provide personal examples. I was asked to somewhat normalize the explanation, to help others feel at ease when understanding their trauma responses.

I hope you like this week's episode.

See on next week's episode.

Cheers!!!

In this week's episode I talk about the idea of a Bliss List. I did not create the idea or resource, but I do use it in practice for myself and with clients. Basically, a Bliss List is an idea list of things you would like to do or accomplish if time or money were no object. I like to keep things simplistic and remove barriers to happiness in life. I am happy to say that I have accomplished many things on my Bliss List as well as helped many others accomplish theirs.

The Bliss List was created as a tool through my experience as a Certified Financial Transitionist®

Cheers & see you on the next episode!

In this week's episode, I talk all about Self Care. I have spoken loosely about self care over the last few seasons. I was recently asked, "How Do I Self Care?" I go into detail about the self care wheel I use. I also provide a ton of examples with regard to each part of the self care wheel.

I hope you enjoy this week's episode.

Cheers & see you on the next episode!
