Time For Self-Responsibility
Hey lady! Are you ready to take a look at self-responsibility? Did you just say oh-hell-fucking-no? lol I get it, looking into ourselves creates a lot of thoughts. Then we have to deal with the thoughts and that leads to changes and whoa, who the hell has time for all of that? You do and…

Corbie Mitleid: Cleaning Out Your LifeCloset
Listen in as I talk with Corbie Mitleid about self-help that is actually helping yourSELF, not someone telling you what to do. What a refreshing concept!

It’s not a midlife crisis
Busyness, transformations, lots of changes and epiphanies does not make it a midlife crisis. Ok, I went to my fav place…Wikipedia to get the downlow on this term. lol So it was coined in 1965 and looking at it all, no wonder why I have an issue with it being called a crisis. While I…

Universe Says Declutter
I love days with coaching calls that are just flowing. That’s how this morning went. By flowing, I do mean 2.5 hours of them all bumping up against each other including who was in what group session and private session, but also a natural flow occured with the conversations. There are just too…

Stop People Pleasing
Hey hey! Let’s talk about people pleasing today. Not the kind where it makes you happy to do things for others. That’s totally cool and high five, me too. I’m talking about the people pleasing where you are feel you “should” do things and change. YUCK! This was a big part of my life so…

Melissa Russiano, Begone Imposter Syndrome
Imposter syndrome. Ugh, something we ALL go through as humans…dammers. Melissa Russiano is a therapist that works with other therapists, coaches and busy professionals to create a more positive work-life balance. As a coach, I value the hell out of her reaching out to the community! It’s awesome...

Have You Blown Your Mind Yet?
My top podcast episode was completely off the cuff and I had no idea what it would be when I randomly wrote the title and sent it to my kick ass graphics girl to create. I hadn’t even recorded it! And it touched many of you so much that I wanted to expand on it…
-
The Silence is Deafening
Oh the conversations I’ve had while doing the market research for the new Empty Nest ReInspiration Plan. I had no idea how much I missed girl chat time until these calls. Now I’m missing them even more and can not wait until I get with my girlfriends from around the country for all night, inperson…

Hell is a bit chilly right now – Episode #49
Holy crap, something about this episode NEEDED to be said and I had whammy’s left and right recording. I gave up the first day. Then today I had a full episode after multiple restarts and pauses.

Episode #48: What in the World are the IDGAF Years?
Oh the IDGAF YEARS! I embraced this acronym fully as the definition of my 40’s. I Don’t Give A F*ck Years! I only do the weird spelling of it because I don’t want the spammers tagging me lol Blame Jennifer Burke for telling me the acronym. We talked about it way back on Episode #3:…

Rochelle Marie, Support, Growth, & Action Episode #46
One thing I love about working with midlife women is the realizations that are happening. Getting to that point where you realize what you are good at and how many you can help by stepping into the role you are meant to be in. Rochelle Marie went through pretty big changes in her 40’s which…

Episode #45: Goodbye Birthday Martyr
Bare with me through a bit of this one and you might want a tissue. I promise if you stick with me it’s ALL good. My story I’m sharing today dramatically changed my life and was a devistating smack in the face of choices I was making. Talking through this episode was crazy therapeutic and…

Episode #44: Sandy Rodriguez, Choose To Prevail
I loved talking with Sandy Rodriguez about her many interests and how a major career change set that in motion. If she hadn’t made a giant change in her life, she never would have known how much fun it is to make wine and enjoy outdoor activities. One big difference between her major career change…

Episode #43: OIY My Boundaries SUCK Right Now!
By the end of 2020 my boundaries SUCKED and I was spiraling. It had been too long since I’d gone over them to see if I needed to make changes or set some that had never been set. How many aspects of our lives are firsts in this last year we’ve had? The wonderful thing…
-
Episode #42: I Am Not An Open Book
I’ve always considered myself an open book and that isn’t a negative in my opinion. It’s not something I need to change about myself. But, I think I grabbed that phrase from others and never paid attention to what it really means. Yes, I’m in reflection mode lately and feeling out where I want to…

Episode #41: Revisiting My Word For 2020

Episode #35: Rules and Little Things
I really have no idea where the playdoh reference came from in this episode. I hope those that love grey playdoh aren’t offended after listening. I’m going through things in my brains lately and there will be quite a few future episodes talking about it. I’m becoming more and more “ok” as I pull...

-
Episode #32: Are You Asking For Permission
We tell ourselves that we can’t do things that will lead us towards our dreams because (a,b,c…). We give permission to others quite easily to go after what they want. But do we sit there asking for permission to go after our dreams? I see this happening when things are out of our comfort zone.…

Episode #30: Boundaries In Midlife
I don’t always record an episode and put it directly up. In fact I try not to because it stresses me out. Ironically I’d put off recording Boundaries in Midlife and I assumed it was because I just didn’t want to talk about it. Nope, it was just meant to be recorded and posted in…
-
Episode #29: Who Do You Want To Be?
Can you remember being asked what you want to be when you grow up? So many times! I tried hard not to ask a lot of kids this question as my kids were growing up because it’s tough to answer. We don’t even know who we are, let alone what we want to do. Wouldn’t…

Episode #28: Kelly Knowles, Driving Core Motive
It won’t take you long to figure out I was intrigued and ready to dig into the Color Code that Kelly Knowles works with to help distinguish your driving core motivate. How can there be a personality trait identifier for 30 years and I’ve never heard of it? When she found this it was a…
-
Episode #27: Blow Your Own Mind And Impress Yourself
What if you impressed yourself with who you are? Did your inner critic just yell, “Yikes, we’re not allowed to do that!” You set goals and bust your ass to achieve them. How often are you merely taking a deep breath after they are complete and quickly analyzing everything that went wrong? What...

Episode #26: Pam Hamilton, You Without Apology
Pam and I “met” doing quick talks on a mutual friend’s weekly meeting. We happened to volunteer for the same week and our messages were similar. It was GREAT! She is a much more accomplished and organized speaker than I am so I was writing down things I want to emulate. As you can tell…

Episode #25: What About Me?
I’m listening to many friends and aquaintances hit the empty nest or less full nest as their kids are go off to college or move out for the first time. I’ll be honest, it’s tough to relive that time in my life. My life was spiraling out of control then and it makes me feel…

Episode #16: Anger, Control & Positivities
Today’s episode was the product of a podcast challenge I’m taking and completely off the cuff. I had a bit of a panic as I didn’t even have notes written out lol Physically distancing is magnifying my emotions and making things bubble back up that I have dealt with. There are times I still feel…
