E139 - How to Train for Life Using Your Creativity | Lisa Murphy, Vibrant Living Coach

from Create-Today with Beth Buffington · host Beth Buffington

She's 60 and Hiking 133 Miles. Here's Her Secret. 
 What are you training for? Beth welcomes back one of her favorite recurring guests, Lisa Murphy, a Vibrant Living Coach (who helps women in their middle years, through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond) live more vibrantly and take on new adventures. This year Lisa is training for a big one: a nine day, 133 mile through-hike of the Isle of Anglesey coastal path in Wales, in celebration of her 60th birthday. Beth and Lisa use that goal as the starting point for a bigger conversation: what training really means once you take it outside the gym, why momentum beats motivation, and how creativity works as both a break and a reward when you are working toward something hard. They talk through: • Optimism bias• The running shoes method for building any new habit• Why core care, creative care, and community care can create a life that feels vibrant at any age. Discover how you can continue to work with Beth and Lisa by joining Sylva Sessions, an online wellness group that works with women to find more happiness and health by focusing on their Core Care, Creative Care and Community Care.
