Hello, Hello, fearless listeners! Are you ready for another episode of Let Fear Bounce? It’s the podcast that’s all about conquering challenges and facing our fears. I’m your host, Kim Lengling, and each week we’ll dive into inspiring stories, expert insights, and practical tips to help you turn your fear into your greatest ally. So sit back, relax, grab that cup of coffee and let’s discover how to make fear our bouncing board toward a life filled with endless possibilities. Right here on Let Fear Bounce!
Kim: Hello, Hello Everybody! Welcome to another episode of Let Fear Bounce! This is Kim Lengling your host and I’m so happy that you’ve decided to spend just a small part of your day with myself and my special guest today, AJ Coleman. Now folks, he wears so many hats, like we all do, but he’s got some pretty darn interesting hats that he wears from time to time and day to day. Now, AJ, he holds several titles including: widower, and single father. He’s also overcome a hearing impairment, job loss, and crippling anxiety. He is also (now this is fascinating folks) a financial crimes expert! Dun dun dun! And you know what? We just might have him back on for an episode specifically about that. So he’s also a financial crimes expert (dun dun dun! I just like to do that) and he’s an author, folks! And his book is called Keep Those Feet Moving: A Widower’s 8-Step Guide to Coping with Grief and Thriving Against All Odds. And that is available on Amazon.
(1:46) Kim: Wow! AJ, thank you so much for being a guest on Let Fear Bounce today!
AJ: Thank you so much for having me. I’m excited to come talk to you today.
Kim: Now, there’s a lot. We were talking (off mic) and we got so off track, but those are the best kind of conversations. We are going to have you come back on (for those of you listening) to have you come chat about his financial crimes expertise, and he’s going to share some tips and stuff like that about fraud and scam and keeping your identity safe and all that. And that’s going to come up here in a few months. So thank you for being willing to come back on before we even really had a chance to talk so hey, yay us!! (Kim laughs)
AJ: It’s amazing what you learn when you openly discuss with individuals and just learn a little bit more about who they are. And a lot of people I think are fascinated with celebrities and social media influencers, but the real interesting people are the people who are just like us- the listeners.
Kim: I could not agree more! That is so well said. Seriously, cause I love talking to people, learning how they “tick”, why they think the way they do. I might not understand it, and might now agree all the time, but that doesn’t matter. I enjoy learning, meeting new people and just you know, it’s just a fun experience! And I think that we should all, you know, all be a little more open to that and a little more accepting. Maybe the world wouldn’t be quite as divided.”
AJ: “I’ll tell you, there’s a lot of head scratching moments that we do in life.” (Kim laughs) Every day you wake up and you have a plan for how you begin your day. Thern midway through the first hour you realize the whole day has gone astray.”
Kim: “Yeah, and I find myself laughing out loud, saying ‘wow! and I thought I had my day planned out!’ Silly me! (Kim laughs)
AJ: “Oh yeah. Definitely, that’s how it is. That’s when I think the best days are when life just takes you on a journey. And some people like structure, others like the “free-flow… I think both are important at times. In days like today, you never know who you are going to meet. You never know what opportunities come through, and society we’re very quick to say “no” of everything. What if we say “yes” to more things? Would we be happier? Would we be more open to trying new things?
Kim: “Right.”
AJ: "Perhaps, we can solve some of the world’s greatest problems, but that’s…
Kim: “You know, I’ve had many conversations with people, and we will jokingly say “we’ll we’ve just solved all the worlds problems in the last half hour if people would just listen to us.” (Kim laughs)
AJ: “That’s true!”
Kim:” I know!”
AJ: "That is true. What was that phrase? We have two ears and one mouth, right? But sometimes the one mouth is bigger than the two ears.”
Kim: “Exactly!” (AJ laughs) Yes! You’re right! You’re right! We’ll I want to jump in because a few of the things that you mentioned- fear plays a part in that. I think, you know, with society. And people in general not wanting to say “yes” to those opportunities that might be sitting right in front of them. Fear, fear has so much to do with that. And that’s why I love having folks like you on. You wear so many different hats, you’ve been thought the ringer, as we all have. Everybody has their trauma, and their really tough stuff. Your journey, your tough, bumpy road (and that’s probably putting it so lightly) um first off, you’re a widower. You lost your wife at a really young age to cancer. Now, that alone, a diagnosis is traumatizing, but then at such a young age and you were new parents at the time, correct?”
AJ: “I was. My daughter was two months old when my wife, her mother, was diagnosed with brain cancer. Nothing could have prepared us at that time for the diagnosis, nothing could prepare us for what would come.”
Kim: “I can’t even imagine. I can’t even pretend to put myself in your shoes.”
AJ: “I was 32 years old when the diagnosis; 33 is when she passed, and I was raising my daughter for the first nine years as a single dad. What I can speak openly is what I openly share with others is how do you go through the “storybook ending” on certain tragedies, life-changing instances that help you bring closure. What has happened to enable you to speak more about it at a later time whether it’s with a smile because you know you’ve done everything you can, and the memory remains with you. Or you’ve done everything you could, and the memory just could not escape you, but just knowing deep down that you have some kind of closure enables you to continue to move on through your journey. And a lot of people just get stuck in their current path. They don’t know where to go, they don’t know who to turn to, they just in essence “give up” and say, “this is just how my life is always going to be.” And other people, like many of your listeners, they take the challenge and just take that as a commitment to thrive harder. And when you look back, you have a sense of accomplishment and that’s what we have today. I miss my wife every day. I know my daughter misses her mother. But together, we keep her legacy alive, and this is what brings me comfort- knowing that I’ve given her a “fairytale ending” at the time when she passed. It enabled me to move forward in life.”
Kim: “There’s probably folks out there that can resonate with your story. That’s just part of your story. So going through all of that, and you said your daughter was two months old when your wife was diagnosed.”
AJ: “Yes.”
Kim: “And you raised her from you know, bottle-feeding, infant.” (Kim chuckles)
AJ: “I did.”
(7:55) Kim: “So what types of fears and I’m sure there were a few, came through? Because you’re dealing with grief, but you had to give your attention and your love and care to this very small human. How were you able to look past the fear of “Oh my gosh, how am I going to do this on my own? Oh my gosh, am I going to be a good enough dad?” What types of thoughts and how did you bust through those?”
AJ: What’s interesting is, I never really had time to settle in with what I call the “dual-control” parenting. Right? Once my wife was diagnosed, it wasn’t like I had a before and after snapshot of what life was really like. I only knew, well, I gotta take care of my wife, take care of my daughter and I just moved forward. So the fear itself wasn’t necessarily on “well, am i going to be a good father?” I think the fear was more predicated on, could I find balance back in my life with a full-time job, being a full-time caretaker, being a dad, trying to move to Chicago from Phoenix (where we were living at the time of the diagnosis so my wife could be with her family, looking for another job, etc. More of that fear was, how do I function? How do I maintain a sense of calmness through this whole ordeal when everyone around me was anticipating that at some point I would have a breakdown. And what’s interesting, those that know me and know my story… it’s almost I’ve been prepared my entire life for tough times. When things get tough or challenging, I actually find new motivation, I find new energy levels that I’ve never known about to propel me through it. And that’s what enables me to speak today, so confidently with the passion that I have to helping others no matter what their challenges may be. No matter what their fears. You have something alive within you, rely on that.
(10:18) Kim: “Well said. And I like how you said that the challenges that you faced in life-they were kind of motivating to you. Now, not everybody’s built that way. I personally am. I am built that way because some of the stuff I went through makes me wonder how I’m still standing sometimes, but I have that mindsight: “Alright, Kim, pull up your big girl panties, it’s time to go.”
AJ: “Yeah”
Kim: “Keep moving, you know? Not everybody has that mindset like you had also mentioned earlier that fear- folks get stuck there. What’s a good little nugget that you could toss out to those folks that are listening right now at any age that might feel “stuck.” Like they went through a traumatic experience or the loss of a loved one. Maybe it’s divorce, loss of a job, whatever the case may be that’s life-altering. What’s a little nugget that you could toss out to them to give them a little motivation, because they might not have that mindset of “Let’s go! I’m just going to plow through this!”
(11:18) AJ: “One common element in what you just described all comes back to grief. The mourning, some sort of loss whether it’s a physical loss, financial loss, companion loss, any type of thing. And when you’re in grief, you have a tendency to focus on yourself and asking the question: Why did this happen? Why me? Why couldn’t this happen to somebody else? Things were going so good right now. We need to transition and start thinking about where. Where are you going? Where am I going to get to? How am I going to get through that process? And when you start transitioning that mindset from why to where (and I use this in term that’s Keep Those Feet Moving always creating action/motion around something) some people might equate it to the “Why and How Principle” but I think we’re going to keep it to where. This is how you can start getting yourself more motivated. When you start moving to that where functionality within your mindset, you realize that you’re letting go of some of the grief and you’re taking steps forward to what your goals are. To what you want to achieve in life. Grief is a part of who we are, it’s a response to grief that separates us from our past and our future. “
(12:52) Kim: “Thank you for sharing that. And I hope, (folks out there) that you caught that. Hope you’re picking up what he was throwing down, folks! (Kim and AJ laugh)
AJ: “I do use a lot of analogies in a lot of different segments to try and resonate with others.”
Kim: “Well, you have to paint a picture! For most folks I have found, (and I found for myself), if I’m able to paint a picture in my head by listening to someone by the words that you’re using and I can' paint a mental picture on my little mental chalkboard, it resonates- I’m able to grasp it much easier. When folks share stories like that, or analogies like that. I think that works well for most folks. They receive it well. You’re also an author, and I’ve found that most authors are pretty good at painting pictures with their words.”
AJ: “It took time.”
Kim: “Yes.”
AJ: “I never thought that I would write a book. Yeah English writing was not my best class, and if you were to have told me that “you’re going to write a book later in life…” I would have not really understood that. But what I’ve found through the writing also is therapeutic to get over some of your own personal fears.”
Kim: “Yes, indeed!”
AJ: “On having that opportunity, that “springboard”, to get it out of your system to share with others, uh, it’s definitely scary. In a sense, because you don’t know how people are going to respond, you don’t know where the general public is really going to understand you. And in today’s society, we’re very quick to criticize, point out deficiency and use the word “well, you're wrong and that’s not how it should be!” But the writing element was more to bring out some of those fears that I had. I never thought I would put together a book. I can definitely put that as my list of accomplishments, and I’ll put it out there. Everyone keeps asking if there is going to be a sequel and another one and I’m like “I’m just trying to get the first one out there!” (Kim chuckles in agreement) I’m sorry, I’m just trying to come to grips on what I’ve done, and being as open as I have because I shared some of my biggest fears of when I was a child-overcoming anxiety, working on what went down the last few hours of my wife’s life and sharing some of the intimate, personal thoughts that I had with her and painting this whole thing. But writing-you have to get your thoughts out in some capacity, and that also takes you from that why to the where. Once you get it out, you don’t know where it’s going to head and what you’re going to meet people like yourself (on discussing after writing a book) or people like this audience who is listening. And having that ability to touch every one of those people in some capacity.”
(16:00) Kim: “You never know who you are going to impact. Because there is someone out there who needs your specific message. That’s how I’ve always believed. It’s so easy as an author and you had mentioned fears in that (getting your story out into the world, your words out into the world) because people are so quick to judge. I found early on that the first time I put something out into the world in a book-(I was a co-author in anthology) it was my personal story and I kept it very general and even that was super difficult to write and think “oh, people are going to look at me different now. Oh, they’re going to judge me!” And the editor (who was a beautiful lady) she said, “Kim, your words aren’t for everyone. But for those who read it that those words are for…that it lands in their hands for a reason and those readers, they’re going to resonate with you and be so thankful that you shared becasue then they won’t feel alone anymore. So all the other ones that are judging, tearing you down or tearing it apart- they’re not your readers. To them, don’t pay attention.”
(17:17) AJ: “That’s great advice.”
Kim: “I’ve never, I’ve never forgotten that.”
AJ: “That’s great advice, I mean that is definitely one of your big fears as an author. Who’s going to read this? What are they going to say? And you look back at your sense of accomplishment thinking when it gets released (the book) that everyone in the world is going to be reading about this and commenting it, and you’re going to be able to be this “instant success", but the reality is, it takes a lot of work to get out there. It takes a lot of work to bring people together to share your story. Unfortunately, there are people who when they learn things about you, it does change their perception of who you are. And their viewpoint-maybe they had you on a pedestal and now they’re like “oh, this person is not who I thought they were so I’m not going to have any sort of relations. Others may decide to put you on a pedestal and use this life-changing opportunity. But I do like where your editor went. It’s hard to think like “well, who’s your target audience” “Who are you writing for?” “Sometimes you’re just writing for yourself. I needed to write something to share for my daughter. And let her know who her dad was before I got too old. The joke was when you dedicate a book to somebody or something. I once was told that I couldn’t write. So, at first, I was thinking about that and to dedicate the book to the A-hole who said I couldn’t write. (Kim chuckles) “Look where I’m at now.” But then I thought about my audience a little bit and said okay, “Who am I really writing this book for?” So, I ended up dedicating it to my daughter so she could finally understand my dad jokes. She rolls her eyes every time I have something to say about that.”
(19:19) Kim: (Laughing) “Well of course she does! It’s part of her job!”
AJ: “(Laughingly) “There are things that she does that I don’t understand where she got this from. The only conclusion that I have is that maybe it’s not in my gene pool. (Kim chuckles) You’re (referring to his daughter) from the other gene pool.”
Kim: (Laughs) “You’re from the other side!” (AJ laughs)
AJ: “But, the greatest fear we all have, people will say, is failure. A failure to do certain things. I don’t know if the best way to say failure is “biggest fear.” I think it’s trusting yourself is one of the biggest fear or greatest fear. It’s having that ability when things get challenging that you can overcome. Having that ability to take on a little bit more and push yourself through when it’s time to put the kids to bed is to have that strength to read that story to them. Having that trust within yourself that you’re going to make your life the very best. When you wake up in the morning one day when you’re 150 years old that you can look back on your life with positive and no-regrets. That’s where the trust is, that’s where the biggest fear is. It’s just people not trusting themselves.”
Kim: “Sure, trust is a big one. All throughout life, and I’ve shared before a dear friend of mine, she was actually my fourth grade teacher, and she called me up one day random, (seemingly) random. She goes, “hey,” (and she’s a fabric artist) so she said, “hey, stop by the shop if you have time.” And I said, “Well, I’m on my lunch hour. I’ll be in that area so I can swing in.” So I swung in and she said, “God laid upon my heart to give you this.” And it was a piece of her fabric art (framed) and it was, it was just the word “Trust.” Beautifully done. And I said, “What’s this for? I mean, it’s beautiful. Thank you so much! But what is this for?” And she goes, “It’s been laid upon my heart all day that I had to give this to you because and to give you the message that you cannot trust and worry at the same time. It’s not possible.” And that was all she wanted to say to me. And I was so floored by that, I broke down in tears and just gave her a big hug because at that time I was going through a very, very difficult time personally. And there was no way for her to have known that. You use the word trust several times and that just kept popping up in my head. You can’t have trust and worry at the same time. I try and remember to toss that out every once in a while because I think folks need to be reminded of that.”
AJ: “That is important. That again goes back to the whole idea that is how do you get over your fears? How do you move forward? When we are young children, you know, we’re fearful of monsters under our bed, monsters in the closet. We’re fearful of not getting a cookie after dinner. Our fears evolve as we grow. And as we get older, our fears change. Boy, I’ll tell you this sometimes I wish I could go back to being two or three years old and still have those fears because they’re so…looking back you know, the monster under my bed…I’d be like, “hey, come on out. Let’s go play! Let’s go talk!” You know? Like why was I so afraid of that little guy, right? But, that trust factor…I like how you phrased it, right? It’s interesting. Most people don’t trust themselves. They have to rely on others for comfort. Others to guide them through. And that’s what makes it harder because you’re not doing your own independent thinking. You’re waiting for others to tell you how to live life, how to handle certain situations. For many of the listeners, I’m sure you have spouses or partners that are always asking you to do something for them while we roll our eyes. Maybe the next time they ask you, it’s because they trust you to get it done. They trust to to help them through something that maybe they haven’t had that confidence to build on. Little things like this is what my mind operates on all day long. I try to think about what is the purpose behind this, like why am I at this exact spot at this exact same moment doing this. If I came four seconds later, would I have seen this or that. And it’s like interesting, right? It’s like a game of inches.”
Kim: “No! My brain does the same thing! Seriously!”
AJ: “Oh, good.”
Kim: “So I’m so glad I’m not the only one!” (Kim laughs)
AJ: “Right?”
Kim: “I have done that so often. I mean often! I’ll go “five minutes earlier? What if I had been there five minutes earlier?”
AJ: “Yeah.”
Kim: “You know many times, many times over my lifetime I’ve thought a similar thought like that. Alright, I want to jump…I’m going to jump around because that’s what I do.”
AJ: “That’s okay!” (Kim chuckles)
Kim: “You said you had crippling anxiety when you were younger, but the hearing impairment, when? Were you born with the hearing impairment or did that come later?”
AJ: “Apparently I was born with it. It wasn’t discovered until I was three years old when we went to do some further testing with an audiologist. Now this was back in 1978, so we’re going back into the late 70’s where it wasn’t as predominant. The information isn’t what it is today.”
Kim: “Right.”
AJ: “We didn’t have internet to look up and see fifty other people with the same issue, right? So my parents had to deal with it their own way, I had to learn and deal with this in my own. So, much different. I would say a lot of that hearing impairment is what crafted me to who I am today. Those experiences I’ve done from a young kid all the way through high school into college, all the way into my professional life and even as a dad. It shaped me for who I am. That’s where the book enabled me to kind of release some of those big fears. And almost to come clean and say, “Look, I grew up with a hearing impairment, I have a hearing impairment, and I compensate in a lot of different ways that most people when they look at me or when they speak to me, they might not notice it or even recognize that there may even be a little bit. Back in the 70’s a disability is perceived a lot differently than it is today.”
Kim: “Oh yes, I agree. Indeed. Keep Those Feet Moving-the book you share, you share your whole journey with the anxiety and the hearing impairment and how that’s impacted your life, the loss of your beautiful wife, being a single dad and a widower and keeping those feet moving. You know, I love the title of the book, by the way.”
AJ: “Thank you.”
Kim: “Because as soon as I read it, just those first four words: Keep Those Feet Moving, I was like, “Oh! There we go! There we go.” My mindset just automatically thought, keep plowing ahead. Well, in my brain, “Put on the big girl panties, time to keep going.”
AJ: “That’s exactly what it’s intended to do, right? A lot of times when we get stuck, we have a tendency to just stay in one place. I’ve always believed that as long as you’re moving, you’re creating action. You have the ability to overcome. Whether it’s climbing over something, running through something, going around…there are always opportunities available to you as long as you’re moving.”
Kim: “Keep those feet moving, that’s right!”
(27:32) AJ: “If you’re stuck that’s where that grief process really stays with you.”
Kim: “And that’s heavy, folks. You don’t want to put extra weight on yourself.”
AJ: “Definitely not.”
Kim: “Keep moving because I’ve said before, I’ve had people (good intentions may be, I don’t know) but they’ll be like, “how long have you been doing this? Shouldn’t you be a little farther ahead if you’ve been doing it this long?” And I’m thinking first off, “It’s not your journey. It’s my journey.”
AJ: “That’s a fair statement.”
Kim: “Yeah. You know and people’s judgement of me that’s on them. It has nothing to do with me.”
AJ: “Yeah.”
Kim: “You know? It literally has nothing to do with me. Other people’s thoughts and opinions of me has nothing to do with me. But, I’ve always said, “Well, I might be moving at a turtle’s pace, but I’m still moving forward one small step at a time. And that’s beautiful to me. ‘Cause I’m still moving forward! You know? Might be at a turtle’s pace. And my pace might not be for everybody, but I’m doing it my way because it’s my journey.”
AJ: “That’s exactly correct in your thinking. I call it a marathon race. It’s not necessarily about where you start, it’s about where you finish. And that goes without saying-anything that we do, right? We have a tendency to perceive others, when you’re in grief. “Well, you need to grieve for x amount of days before you can show signs of maybe life or activity”, right? Or you are studying for an exam and you have a fear of taking tests and people say, “you need to study for eight hours every day to master this”, right? And what happens is, people are dictating what they think. And that’s okay. But as you mentioned earlier, you have the ability to just nod your head and say thank you and then go about what you’re doing. That’s your marathon race that you’re partaking in. And it doesn’t matter how fast, how slow, whatever helps you sleep better at night that way you wake up the next morning and you just want to go right back at it again. People are always going to tell you how to do things and that’s just because when we’re born, we have people tell us what to do. “You’re gonna eat at this time, you’re going to hate to not have a cookie before you eat your vegetables, right? Who made that rule? I don’t know.”
(30:00) Kim: “Yeah! Who did make that rule??”
AJ: “You know back in the day somebody did make that rule a long time ago in the parents little guidebook: Do not feed your child a cookie before they have their vegetables.”
Kim: “Yeah, who did make up that dessert needs to come after dinner?”
AJ: “Yeah, again, I don’t know. (Kim laughs) That’s half the beauty of being an adult, right? And I think that’s when we turn eighteen and some of us move out and go to college. Like this is the greatest thing in the world! I can have cold pizza at three in the morning and my mom’s not going to say anything, right? (Kim laughs and says, “right” in agreement)
Kim: “Yeah, no I love it! Yeah. I can eat pizza every day if I want!” (AJ laughs in agreement)
AJ: “Yeah, yeah!” I mean your health might not appreciate it…
Kim: “Right.”
AJ: (continues) ..but your happiness will be there.”
Kim: “Short-term, yeah.” (Kim chuckles) So where can folks find this awesome book, Keep Those Feet Moving?
AJ: “Well, thank you for the opportunity to share. You can find it on Amazon under Keep Those Feet Moving by AJ Coleman or you can go to the website. It’s keepthosefeetmoving.com and order directly from the website. It’s an 8-Step Guide to different aspects of grief, whether it’s a disability, anxiety, loss of a loved one, companionship, being a single dad. It even has some opportunities on how to overcome job loss and to restore your faith in your religious beliefs again.”
Kim: “Awesome! I have not read the book, but I plan on it because I’m sure there’s all kinds of good little nuggets in there for folks to carry with them. Speaking of nuggets, AJ, I ask all of my guests (when we get ready to wrap up the show) to toss out a “nugget of hope” to the listeners. And it’s something, that they can carry with them. Tuck in their pocket and take with them for the rest of the day. So what would your “nugget of hope” for the listeners be today?”
AJ: “Something that my grandfather coined and I think about it every single day. He said, “Every day is a good day.” And I really enjoyed when he said that. I didn’t really understand when he kept saying it every time I called him up. I’m like, “How are things going?” And he’d say, “Every day is a good day.” And now, I use that. He’s right. No matter what challenges, no matter what hardships you may be facing, it’s still a great day. There may be some challenging days, there may be some heartaches, there may be some other opportunities that you wish would have gone better. But be blessed for what you have because you have an opportunity to make a difference in everybody, and that’s important.”
Kim: “Thank you so much for all that you shared today, and I know it was just a very small part of your journey. I’m positive that someone out there is resonating with something that you shared. Even your nugget, I just love that. Every day is a good day. It’s a good day. There’s always something good to be found in every single day. It might just be, like you had said, going through something really tough. And there’s so many that are. We know that. But take a minute, take a deep breath, step outside and look around you. There’s something that’s going to make you go, that’s beautiful. Or “oh my goodness, look at that!” And then be grateful for it. There’s something good. There’s little nuggets of hope to be found everywhere.”
AJ: “Thank you for this opportunity to be here. I enjoyed speaking with you and your listeners today.”
Kim: “You know, this is a great conversation, and I can’t wait to have you back on to talk about a completely, totally different topic-financial crimes. (Dun dun dun!)
AJ: “Yes!”
Kim: “I almost forgot, dun dun dun! (Kim laughs)
AJ: (Chuckling) “It definitely is a unique career path, but I have also spent the last twenty years fighting the financial crimes world, check fraud, contact takeovers, identity theft, and working with a lot of great people along my way. So I look forward to sharing best practices with your audience on how they can safe guard their own assets and their identities.”
Kim: “And it’s so needed, so needed in today’s world so thank you! Thank you once again, it’s been a true blessing and a true pleasure to have you as my guest today and I wish you beautiful rest of your day!”
AJ: “Thank you.”
