UCHealth offers new women’s health, wellness podcast

June 15 – We all know the feeling of setting a goal and failing miserably.

It hardly makes you want to bother.

Air Force Reserve Remaining. General Kathleen Flarity, UCHealth Scientific Nursing Scientist, admits that some days are better than others when it comes to removing a goal from your list. She likes to give the often repeated advice: “You can’t get any of the recordings that you don’t take. How often have people who achieve great things fallen? They get up and leave again.”

Flarity was recently featured on UCHealth’s new women’s health and wellness podcast, “evre,” which was pronounced “every”. She joined host Gloria Neal on the episode titled “Believe and Achieve” to provide a bit of cheerleading for listeners who may be struggling with the whole goal.

As the commander of the military, Flarity knows a thing or two about getting things done and helping crew members achieve their own goals. For her, it’s just intuitive – she’s one of those rare New Year people who set and act upon intentions every January.

“I choose meaningful, realistic goals,” said Flarity, a Colorado Springs resident. “I’ve figured out what I need to renew, regenerate and awaken new passions, to bring my best to those I love and lead – something professional, something personal and something relational.”

Goal setting is one of the many topics Neal aims to analyze in his podcast released this year. Other tasty topics are husbands, wives, children, hot flashes, hormones, postpartum, insomnia, stress. Whatever women discuss with their girlfriends, Neal wants to get it into the airwaves.

“Chances are, other women are sitting around talking about it, regardless of ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or status in life,” said Neal, who is also the public affairs director for Mayor Michael B. Hancock of Denver. “The podcast is growing because of its voyeuristic nature. Women feel like they are listening to two friends talking at a table.”

The story goes on

In each 35-minute episode, Neal and another UCHealth expert will discuss topics such as better sleep, identifying stress and anxiety, debunking health myths, and how to survive life’s unexpected U-turns. Eight episodes are already available. You can find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play or online at uchealth.org/extraordinary/evre-health-fitness-day-every-woman/podcast-series.

“I’ve been on retreats with friends who are CEOs, but we’re all struggling through the same things,” said Neal. “Title and money go out the window, and what remains is the common thread that I fight my way through there too. I try to tap into that. This is real life.”

And part of real life is failure, especially when it comes to goals. Flarity advises us to stop declaring monumental intentions. Instead, set realistic goals and share them with others you trust who can help you.

“Instead of a marathon, say a mile,” she said. “We choose goals that are ultimate goals rather than step goals to get there. Choose small, meaningful goals to get there. It’s tough. “

Each episode ends with five wholesome takeaways from the featured expert. Among theirs, Flarity wants their listeners to make self-care a priority. If you focus too much on one thing, you run the risk of burnout.

Self-care for them involves a regular dose of exercise. It’s one of the things women often throw aside when their days fill up with caring for others. Exercise can be considered optional when it is one of the most nutritious things we can do for ourselves, along with getting adequate sleep and eating healthy. This is also a time to practice setting small goals.

“I have to train. I need that every three days,” said Flarity. “And instead of saying that’s optional, I’m making it a priority. I know it makes me a better person.”
