LLN Episode #228: Kelly Majdan – Your Health, Wellness & Fitness: Being Intentional

About Kellly Majdan: Kelly Majdan is the best-selling author of Lessons from the Obstacle Course: Five Strategies to Conquer the Muddy Fields of Life, speaker, and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), who helps people plan for a life of wellness, longevity, and financial security. Taking what she has learned on her own health journey and leveraging her twenty-five years in finance, she helps individuals develop a wellness strategy that optimizes their time, money, and resources, enabling them to continue doing what they enjoy well into their later years without breaking the bank. Following her own wellness strategy has enabled her and her husband, both over 50, to continue to participate in a few obstacle course races each year with their two children. When not playing in the mud she can be found relaxing at home with their two massive dogs and a very spoiled cat. What We Discuss In This Episode: Kelly shares her family's health challenges, from her husband's brain surgery to her own back issues, motivating them to focus on wellness through obstacle course racing. This inspired Kelly to merge her finance knowledge with health coaching. Kelly explains her process for wellness planning: defining goals and strengths/weaknesses, creating tailored plans focusing initially on one area like nutrition, and emphasizing gradual habit-building over quick fixes. Kelly encourages people to face their fears and make changes to avoid later regrets, citing a quote on having courage despite fear. Both acknowledge midlife as an opportunity for changes now that children are grown. Kelly stresses the power of perspective and humor for overcoming challenges. She emphasizes releasing stress through identified methods before reframing issues positively. Push through fear to live fully! Kelly Majdan: " Stay curious. Be intentional. Know you're worth it. You're not going to get through this life or have the type of life you want without your health. So be curious." Key Takeaways: Why it's important to stay curious about your health. How did we stay healthy despite our hectic lifestyles? Advice for someone 40+ wanting to make a mid-life career change. Facing life's obstacles like you would on race day. What is it about "no regrets" that inspired Kelly to leave corporate America to go out on her own and how you can do the same.
