Being in the Present Glow

Hello Everyone, “I stand with women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond — women ready to find their voice, reclaim their worth, and step into their next chapter with courage and clarity.” Quote: "The land was ours before we were the land” Robert Frost I’ve always loved that line. It reminds me that the seasons don’t belong to us — we belong to them. Autumn, especially, has a way of claiming us. It nudges us to slow down, to listen, to notice the world shifting in quiet ways. At this stage of life, I think we feel that belonging differently — not in a rush to get somewhere, but in a willingness to be here.” ⸻ Welcome Back Greeting “Welcome back, beautiful friends 🌿 I’m so glad you’re here with me for Episode 101 of Be Your Empowered Self. Today, we’re talking about warmth, gratitude, and how to hold onto the glow of summer, just a little bit longer and in giving Thanks just a little bit longer.” So whatever you’re doing — walking, driving, making tea — take me along with you. Plug in those earbuds, turn it up… and let’s talk. 🌿 Scientific Insight “Psychologists call these small rituals anchoring practices. Even brief gratitude reflections have been shown to increase positive emotions and lower cort-i-sol, the stress hormone. Warm lighting and familiar scents can activate your parasympathetic nervous system — your body’s natural calming response. These little cues tell your brain, I’m safe. I’m here. There is still good in this moment.” Thank you for listening 💙 Follow and share if you know someone needs to hear this today . 🎙 Disclaimer This podcast is for informational and inspirational purposes only and does not replace professional medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice.
