Drop the Ball with Gina Kuehne

Podcast Host & Public Speaker giving women permission to REDESIGN their chaos & REDEFINE their life! Hi, I'm Gina Kuehne!
(1)

I'm an event speaker giving women like you permission to REDESIGN your chaos so you can REDEFINE your life! Which is exactly what I did, as I'm now a retired teacher, who's had to drop the ball many times to create this life of passion & purpose!

Cue the music, 🎶 "Who's that lady? Who's that lady?" 🎶

I've been MIA and I know it.

I recorded an episode today, completely unedited, noise & thought interruptions and all, and just put it out!

No fancy custom artwork. Just had to speak to it.

I've had people ask me, "What happens when you can't pick up any of the balls? When you drop the GLASS balls?"

I always have the answer, but didn't realize I'd have to be looking in the mirror so soon to answer it or myself!

I've told you time & time again, we are not striving for an ABSENCE of chaos, but rather, to master REDESIGNING the chaos so that we can function at our best along with it.

It's been TOO. LONG. and I have felt OUT of control for too many days in a row! So I'm happy to give you this. 💖

It's been live only a few hours and already has a bunch of plays!!

That's because women like us NEED this information!!

Cycle Syncing is something we should ALL listen to regardless of what place in your womanly journey you're at!

The motivation .hadley.fitwithms gives us to make the right health choices in general is EMPOWERING, as well.

Tune in and tell me your favorite takeaway!! ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

BOUNDARY Setting is the FIRST step of my sessions!

Most chaos derives from an area missing a clear boundary.

OR the boundary is defined, but we fail to respect it.

Here's an example of how I REDESIGNED my chaos by

First - setting a boundary to this area, and

Second - carry out actions consistent with said boundary.

I am now a substitute instead of full time teacher.

MY BOUNDARY: No more than two days (3 max) per week. (May is an exception due to wanting extra summer money.)

I also recognized I'm planned out as far as I'd like to be for this school year. I have my days on and off, and it's exactly as I wish.

ACTING CONSISTENT WITH BOUNDARY: See photo.

I cannot verbalize the INTERNAL CONFLICT that would come with answering a text of this nature. I'm "Off" on May 4th. But that's by design. It's now MY responsibility not to sabotage myself.

What boundary have you set/respected recently?

Where are you struggling with this?

04/28/2023

A nightstand says a lot about a person! Mine says what my REDESIGN looks like! (And also that I'm a cluttered cancer ♋️ 😆)

It looks like I devoted my time to being present where my feet were in the AM before school, at sports this afternoon, and at bedtime with the kids!

So some late nights require that I hunker down and have all the essentials in my comfort zone!

🍎 Last meal of the day (increasing calories for weight loss and had to get this protein/fruit in!)

💻 Comp/phone getting tomorrow's episode ready to drop!

🍵 Herbal sleepy tea and water to stay hydrated through the night

😴 Magnesium supplement

👂 📖 Airpods and my book for last thing/first thing development!

To my other side (unpictured) is a supportive hubby who's clued in on all of my priorities, goals, and boundaries (watching The Walking Dead...again...of course! 😄)

He's happy, I'm happy, and I hope you enjoy all I'm putting out to you!

What's on YOUR nightstand??

04/28/2023

Hi there, welcome! Have we met yet? I'd love to introduce myself and my mission!

My name is Gina Kuehne, and I'm a wife, mom of two, and retired teacher. I'm excited to announce that I'm also the founder of newly established Kuehne Consulting! (Link in comments)

I stepped OUT of the classroom full time to channel my passion of helping people in a DIFFERENT way.

While I still get myself in front of kids a couple of times a week as a substitute (I just can't get myself OUT of the classroom!), my struggle has become my biggest calling - guiding and inspiring moms and teachers through inevitable chaos!

I found myself at a place where I just could not continue giving 100% of myself at school AND 100% of myself to my family. THE MATH STOPPED MATHING! 🤣

In all seriousness, I burnt out. I was becoming an ugly person, drowning in the chaos, left not making the impact I knew I could. Because I lost control.

I had a constant reminder from colleagues, new teachers I was blessed to mentor, and other moms that I WAS INSPIRING THEM! I always had all the answers for THEIR concerns. I began to apply my philosophies to MY OWN LIFE. After making the BIGGEST change of my life - leaving full time teaching and moving from New York to Texas - I'm proud to say that I'm bringing all of my experience, expertise, and compassion directly to you! In multiple ways!

1) If you're here, you've probably tuned in to Drop the Ball! If not, find it on the new website.

2) My consulting services are available as 1 to 1 coaching sessions - for personal or professional growth & manifestation. For small groups/institutions. Working with moms, entrepreneurs, and especially teachers/school districts. I WILL HELP YOU TRANSFORM YOUR CHAOS INTO CLARITY!

3) You'll also find me available for speaking engagements! Are you an organization hosting an event? I'd love to provide the motivation and wisdom needed to bring it to the next level!

If you have a moment, introduce yourself in the comments! How did you find me? How could we best work together?

I look forward to helping you find solutions and redesign your chaos! 😘 Goodnight, friends!

Today was my day for editing...prepping...recording, etc. Among other things.

Today, other stuff came up! Like, a lot. Like, I just want to go to bed but don't think I'll be able to. Like, scream into a pillow annoyed. 😒

A sick kid staying home. Dr visit that took 3 hours. Crazy loud construction (that I did finish recording over anyway...but late.) The other kid comes home injured from soccer.

I've been over touched. Over scheduled. Over utilized. So much time wasted waiting for doctors, prescriptions, etc. And frankly, also feeling a little underappreciated.

I have work EARLY tomorrow AM and don't feel 100% myself.

So I'm dropping this ball and *hoping* to get to bed (kids still up and having issues) instead of staying up an extra couple hours and *MAYBE* getting it out.

Planning on a THURSDAY release this week with no FMF.

If you've been on Spring Break, or super busy in general, catch up on missed episodes! 💖

And thank you, Ballers, for understanding. 😘

Calm, self-assured, confident - Jamie Schuler exudes these traits because through the years, she's put in the time to identify exactly what she wants, how she plans to get there, and then takes consistent action aligned with those plans.

Listen to today's [INTO VIEW] for permission - and some hints on the how to - to live your life how YOU want...free from others' expectations and confident in your boundaries and relationships.

Ever wonder, "How does a mindset coach get through her OWN S**T? Shift her OWN MIND?"

Head to my fb page or my IG for my stories to hear!

03/24/2023

Do you ever hear YOUR MOTHER come out of your mouth? Step back in awe and wonder, "How did that happen?"

You should know, it's inevitable that one day, your child will have the same moment - what words do you want them to be?

If we set our intentions to be POSITIVE and speak LOVE to ourselves, we demonstrate a self love to them that will endure.

Listen to my thoughts on this idea today and what I'm hearing with my own kids!

03/23/2023

Didn't realize watching Simpsons would inspire me!

(Normally I just bitch at my son for having it on! 😆)

But when Marge said she was heading to her and took out her box, I CRACKED UP...AND RELATED!! 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

When was the last time you went into yours and picked up something that brings out joy from within?

There's no expiration date on your passions!

What would you pick up TOMORROW if you had no restrictions? 🤔

03/22/2023

HIIII!!!! REMEMBER ME? 😆

No, seriously, I feel like I haven't been on to drop some TRUTH 💣 in a minute...

But...I do stories on my IG and I just made up for some lost story time!!

Gotta make sure you don't miss it. It shares to my personal Facebook (/ginak522)

But it's also on IG!

Check it out because it's a whole lots of truth and feelings that you will be sure to vibe with!

03/21/2023

03/17/2023

It's St Patrick's Day, yes...but be sure to have your SOCKS READY for Tuesday 3/21!

You have the whole weekend to grab some if you don't have them!

This episode is the HIGHEST PLAYED in one day...and counting!

Amanda's experience, emotion, and insight is priceless. We listen and we feel it in our heart.

Thank you for sharing yourself with us!

"I was told from day 1 she wouldn't talk. She wouldn't walk until 28 months, she wouldn't be in school with her peers. The list goes on and it was ALL negative. God lit a fire in me from day one that said, 'Watch this!' "

My [Into View] with Amanda Knox Smith is live and available to stream!

03/11/2023

😍🙌 Happy 2 Months Since Launch 🙌😍

I've realized part of the process of this journey is setting my own small goals, placing the goal posts at certain spaces with respect to different things.

One thing I do is set a goal for that "plays" number. I write down what I want to see, and of recently, almost immediately, it gets there!

This time it took 2 days from when I wrote down 400, but it feels so great to realize the manifestation!

And today it happened on Drop the Ball's 2 MONTH ANNIVERSARY! 🥳

So basically, I'm celebrating myself a bit right now!

Because the BIG THINGS don't happen in 2 months. Small things do, but they're just as worthy of celebration. Because without consistent small celebrations, we won't make it to the big ones! 💖

Many people have helped me to do what I've done in the last 2 months (and the work prior to launch.) I'm grateful to each of you!

I look forward to sharing more celebrations with you!

03/10/2023

Our next [INTO VIEW] is with my friend, a literal SUPER MOM, Amanda Knox Smith!

This is her beautiful family of four kids, 18, 14, 10 and 6.

Our upcoming episode focuses mostly on Amanda and her journey with her youngest, Madalynn, who has Down Syndrome.

Hear Amanda's story as a mother of a child with special needs, from the prayer of conception, the moment of diagnosis, to becoming Madalynn's biggest advocate, cultivating support, and realizing Madalynn is one of HER greatest gifts...EXACTLY as God planned!

03/07/2023

The words got a little cut off, but you get it!

Us Ballers in the 3 Day workshop are learning to create boundaries, and will be COMMUNICATING them in the near future!

Keep this in mind, everyone, when you set a boundary and clearly & respectfully communicate it!

03/07/2023

I'm thrilled I can FINALLY release this Book Review episode for you all tomorrow!

It was super frustrating to have to put it off, but definitely worth the wait!

03/06/2023

We had a GREAT session for Day 1 of the How to Drop the Ball workshop today! 🥳

Today was about Acknowledging our Mental Load!

We're doing great work tonight to Identify all of the many responsibilities we have and take an emotional inventory.

The feedback is overwhelmingly positive and I'm so grateful! 🙏 Some comments posted in my stories.

Looking forward to day 2!

Who'll be here?

02/22/2023

This right here, Ballers!!

This is how you drop the ball.

02/22/2023

Please accept my SINCEREST apologies to anyone who attempted to tune in to today's episode! 💖

There were technical difficulties with audio that I THOUGHT were fully remedied. I worked hard to do so, but the file didn't completely change over so Melanie's wonderful story was LITERALLY muted! ‼️

I am grateful to her for being understanding (when you listen you'll see that is her nature), but for me as a new creator, and her as an OUTSTANDING educator, I'm very disappointed this error slipped by!

BUT, we all make mistakes, we learn from them (I learned a WHOLE new editing system AND the value of DISTINCT file names! 🤣) and I STRONGLY encourage anyone who attempted to listen earlier today to HEAD BACK OVER and give it another go!

Melanie's voice and experience is one best heard in FULL VOLUME! 🥳

‼️Please Prioritize YOU today/this weekend!‼️ Read a book Listen in to a Podcast Take a walk/bike ride Use your Cricut Etc. BE YOU...not the mom you, or the wife you, the YOU you were before everybody else!! 💖

📣5 Reasons You're FAILING to Feel Fulfilled 📣 . . 1) Haven't defined priorities - are you even doing the things that make you happy? 2) Lacking time management skills - managing the chaos is key to feeling calm and collected. 3) Unclear communication with partner - being on the same page DAILY is the most underrated communication strategy! 4) Negative mindset - aren't you tired of being your own biggest critic? You're a badass... accept it and move on! 5) Chasing your next "want" - when's the last time you took a moment to practice gratitude for all you're already blessed with? Stop and smell the roses! 🙌 Life if you agree! ➡️ Share with a friend who needs the reminder! 🏃‍♀️ Follow for more! . . #fulfillyourself #practicegratitudedaily #communicationiskey🔑 #bepositivetolivepositive #droptheball #redesignyourchaos #redefineyourlife #momoftwokids #retiredteacher #iteachmath #lifebymydesign #momswhopodcast #whatsyourpassion #iwearmanyhats

Have a DREAM on your 💖? Have you started, stopped, restarted...maybe NEVER started? It may be because of 1 or all of these 3 top dangers to making progress! 1) STOP comparing yourself to others! There is greatness to be shared from what you have to offer, regardless of how your journey compares to others. 2) Say it with me: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS PERFECTION! Sell the item, post the video, finalize the episode. Just take action because if you keep waiting for perfect, you'll never move forward. 3) There is room for EVERYBODY on the playground! As soon as you DECIDE you're worthy of doing what you dream, YOU ARE THAT DREAM! Stop telling yourself you can't be THAT girl. You're depriving others of what you have to offer, and that's just selfish! . . #impostersyndrome #progressnotperfect #comparisonisthetheifofjoy #droptheball #redesignyourchaos #redefineyourlife #momoftwokids #retiredteacher #iteachmath #lifebymydesign #momswhopodcast #whatsyourpassion #iwearmanyhats

I need to be REAL for a second. 🗣 I'm not the woman that has it all together to do my hair and makeup everyday. If I brushed my teeth before getting the kids off to school- IT'S A GOOD DAY! 🌞 I'll admit, I've stopped at times while making content for you and said "ugh...look at this hair!" And then I reminded myself that I'M JUST AS WORTHY and I offer JUST AS MUCH VALUE even with my frizzy messy bun and dark eye circles! 🤣 I may not be fancy, but I'll always come at you with love and excitement for how we are growing together! 💖 . . #loveyourselfwhereyoureat #nofiltermom #youaresoworthy #messyhairnomakeup #droptheball #redesignyourchaos #redefineyourlife #momoftwo #retiredteacher #iteachmath #lifebymydesign #momswhopodcast #whatsyourpassion #lifebymydesign #FaithAndFortitude #iwearmanyhats
