83. How to Live and Leave a Legacy

Ep 83 When a Jewish elementary school teacher meets a man who recently left the priesthood on a beach in Florida, it may sound like a set up for a joke. But, this is a fascinating story about creating, living, and leaving a legacy, and I think you will really enjoy hearing about her journey.   – Merle R. Saferstein is an educator, speaker, author, and a pioneer in the field of legacy journaling. She has been journaling for 48 years and has amassed a collection of 380 journals,  which are the basis for her legacy journal Living and Leaving My Legacy, Vol 2. Former Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg wrote the foreword and Vol 2 launched June 2023.  Her dedication to journaling makes her not only incredibly unique, but someone who is filled with stories, life lessons, and is the definition of a woman who was years ahead of her time.  -- Listen and Learn:    - The RIGHT way to empower someone who believes they are not qualified. - The #1 thing to say to help anyone move forward with confidence when writing. - The words that will help you live out your life so that you know what your legacy will be. - How the chance meeting on a beach led to not just a job,     but a 26 year career as a Holocaust educator. - What led Merle to dedicate 20 years to transforming her journals into books to     help everyone know they too can leave a legacy? - Why feeling scared and anxious before putting your book out into the world is normal and healthy.  Learn more about Merle's book on her website: https://www.merlersaferstein.com   25 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Retirement Merle's Journey Of Creating & Implementing Living and Leaving Your Legacy® The Book Writing Process  The Story Behind Room 732 & Living & Leaving My Legacy Vols. 1 & 2 Merle has been featured in The Robyn Graham Show, Life Lessons, Thrive Global, HuffPost, The Make Meaning Podcast   #livingalegacy #newbeginnings #changeyourlife #writethebook #journal #holocausteducator #leavingalegacy #legacy journaling Listen to HillTalks Momentum in Midlife Podcast while you're on-the-go! https://open.spotify.com/show/0wP0wtry2WPJ7on9AOCXq1?si=003c4407bba945b7   🎧 Available wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.  New audio episodes drop every Tuesday and video on Wednesday —  -- SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel here:  —  LINKS  LinkedIn Linktree:   Facebook:  Instagram: Website: https://www.hillarybaggett.com  — NEWSLETTER SIGN UP Sign up for my newsletter written to YOU at: https://www.womensmidlifenetwork.com/ Email: [email protected]  —  Book a clarity call https://www.hillarybaggett.com/consult
