b"I spoke with Mary Fran Bontempo about bad words.\\nMary Fran has a great sense of humor and you can tell by the name of her blog, \\u201cNot Ready for Granny Panties.\\u201d She is also the author of 3 books. Today we talked about her latest book, \\u201cThe Woman's Book of Dirty Words\\u201d.\\nThese bad words aren't what you might think they\\xa0are.\\nBefore we talked about Mary Fran\\u2019s book, I just had to go over an article on her website about \\u201cShhssing your brain\\u201d Do you ever feel like you just can\\u2019t shut your brain off? This is called \\u2018brain chatter\\u2019, Mary Fran explains where she discovered this and what you can do to help yourself.\\nWe also touched on Mary Fran's son and how she and her husband dealt with his heroin addiction. Her advice is to not think you're\\xa0going to fix it. Get professional help!\\nOnto the dirty! The \\u2018bad words\\u2019 that Mary Fran goes over with us in this podcast:\\n\\n* Fine\\n* Adventure\\n* Nice\\n* No (We even did a little role-playing\\xa0on how to say no)\\n* Balance\\n\\nThe constraints that we put on ourselves to become spectacular…we treat \\u2018fine\\u2019 like it\\u2019s a dirty word like there\\u2019s something wrong with being okay and good enough\\nMary Fran and I even did a little role-playing on the bad word “NO” and how to say it. Not sure if we will win any Grammy's\\xa0for our performance but needless to say, it was a lot of fun!\\nI also asked Mary Fran to give us one of the eleven commandments\\xa0to staying out of granny panties.\\n\\nThou Shalt Stop \\u2018Shoulding\\u2019 Thyself\\n\\nMary\\xa0Fran\\xa0says we are always filling our days up with things we should and shouldn't do. The word “should” very often equals\\xa0obligation and the word “shouldn't” often equals\\xa0denial. We need to change that language to change these to must and want. Sounds like good advice to me!\\nIf you would like to check out Mary Fran's blog go to http://www.notreadyforgrannypanties.com/ and Mary Fran\\u2019s website is\\xa0http://maryfranbontempo.com/.\\nAlso, as I promised in the interview, here is a link to Mary's Blog post on Brain Chatter\\nBooks\\nThe Woman\\u2019s Book of Dirty Words, \\nNot Ready for Granny Panties\\u2014The 11 Commandments for Avoiding Granny Panties\\nEveryday Adventures: Or, As My Husband Says, “Lies, Lies and More Lies”\\nSpecial Thanks to:\\n\\n* Angie Strehlow who helps us get great guests that help us with our retirement lifestyle while keeping everything on track\\u2026and helps with these show notes!\\n* Les Briney, my husband, and Danny Ozment of Emerald City Pro who edits the show and makes my guests and me sound terrific\\n* Henry Shapiro, host of Retired Excited that airs on Fridays\\n* YOU for telling your friends about the show, leaving comments below, and sharing episodes you really like on Facebook, and\\xa0reviewing the show on iTunes\\n\\nThis post\\xa0about retirement and\\xa0Retirement Lifestyle first appeared on\\xa0http://RockYourRetirement.com\\n\\n \\n \\n \\n "
