Vivatude

In this powerful episode of the Vivatude Podcast, certified health coach and fitness professional Tracy Cromwell sits down with Dr. Shay, an acupuncturist, professor, author, and holistic coach, to explore what it truly means to heal—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. With more than a decade of experience across disciplines including acupuncture, fitness, nutrition, martial arts, and mindfulness, Dr. Shay shares how an integrative approach to health can help women over 40 build resilience, strength, and fulfillment through every season of life.Dr. Shay opens up about her own life-altering car accident and the long road to recovery that followed—while she was finishing her medical boards. Together, Tracy and Dr. Shay discuss how physical fitness, mindset, movement practices like tai chi, and even creativity and play (yes, improv comedy!) can become powerful tools for healing. This episode speaks directly to women navigating injury, unexpected change, caregiving responsibilities, or feelings of loss—offering hope, perspective, and practical strategies for reclaiming well-being.The conversation also dives deeply into caregiver wellness, emotional boundaries, and the often-overlooked need to “care for the caregiver.” Dr. Shay explains how acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine address not just pain, but the body’s stored stress and emotional weight—what TCM calls Shen, or spirit. If you’re a woman over 40 seeking holistic health, emotional resilience, and a more compassionate way to support both yourself and others, this episode offers insight, validation, and actionable tools you can start using today.✨ Connect with Dr. Shay Vasudeva💠 website: https://www.ShayTheCoachAcupuncture.com💠 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shaythecoach/💠 LinkedIn: Dr. Shaweta Vasudeva & ShayTheCoach💠 email: [email protected]💠 X: https://x.com/ShayTheCoach💠 phone: 480-253-9642✨ Connect with Tracy Cromwell 💠 YouTube: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@tracycromwell 💠 Podcasts: 👉 https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/tracy-cromwell💠 Interviews: 👉 https://tracycromwell.com/pages/interviews-with-tracy-cromwell✨ Connect with Vivatude💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/VivatudeOfficial💠 YouTube Playlist 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O2DNFGvKx2uh0rqhA8fWo7F💠 Meet Our Hosts 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O0sTSMv6IkG3WThSRouw-2x

In this episode of Vivatude, Lauren Archer sits down with Rebecca Rama Devi Prien, author of This Again: Untangle the Root of What Distracts & Derails You from Your Life’s Work and host of the Sacred & Strategic podcast, for a rich and grounded conversation about the deeper patterns that quietly shape our lives — and how spiritual practice can reveal what strategy alone cannot.Rebecca brings a rare fusion of intellect and soul to this dialogue. Trained in elite academic and professional environments before turning toward spiritual practice, she now works with purpose-driven women who are highly capable, highly strategic — and often unknowingly over-reliant on the mind. Her work invites a return to a deeper intelligence accessed through spiritual practice, particularly Sanskrit mantra.Lauren shares that listening to Rebecca’s audiobook was the first time, as a Western woman, she truly understood mantra not as belief or philosophy, but as an embodied spiritual technology. Together, they explore how midlife can serve as a powerful threshold — a time when familiar patterns resurface not as failures, but as invitations to untangle what Rebecca calls the karmic knot.In This Conversation, You’ll Explore💠 Why there is often one core issue at the root of what distracts and derails us — no matter how many ways it appears💠 What a karmic knot is, why it is so stubborn and elusive, and why mindset or strategy alone cannot fully resolve it💠 How some patterns may be inherited from ancestry, culture, or the collective, rather than originating with us personally💠 Why spiritual practice is underdeveloped in modern culture — especially for women trained and rewarded for strategic thinking💠 How chanting Sanskrit mantra works at an energetic level to untangle deep patterns with clarity and precision💠 How midlife can become a sacred initiation into alignment, purpose, and embodied wisdom💠 A Core Insight from RebeccaIn a culture that prioritizes strategy, metrics, and logic, spiritual practice is often viewed as secondary or suspect. Rebecca explains that when used intentionally, spiritual practice doesn’t replace strategy — it reveals it. Through spiritual practice, we gain access to intelligence, insight, and solutions that the thinking mind alone cannot reach.Rather than forcing clarity through effort, mantra practice allows clarity to emerge organically — from a deeper source of wisdom.✨ Resources & Links💠 Rebecca Rama Devi Prien’s website: https://www.ompreneur.com/💠 Free This Again guided practice: https://www.ompreneur.com/this-again-practice/💠 Book: This Again: Untangle the Root of What Distracts & Derails You from Your Life’s Work💠 Podcast: Sacred & Strategic✨ Connect with Lauren Archer:💠 YouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@LaurenArcher💠 Website and Gift 👉 https://www.laurenarcher.live/💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/LaurenArcher💠 Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/laurenarchercoaching/✨ Connect with Vivatude💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/VivatudeOfficial💠 Vivatude Podcast Playlist 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O2DNFGvKx2uh0rqhA8fWo7F💠 Meet Our Hosts 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O0sTSMv6IkG3WThSRouw-2xMentioned in this episode:Mindful Leadership LabMusic: Unite by tubebackr & Stanty is licensed under a Creative Commons License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...   / tubebackr   https://www.tubebackrmusic.com Support by RFM - NCM: https://bit.ly/2xGHypMLauren PromoGuaranteed Lifetime Income

In this powerful episode of Vivatude, life coach Anu Aoroa sits down with entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Head of Women’s Health at Viome, Anu Jain, for a transformative conversation about closing the gender health gap and redefining healthcare for women over 40. Vivatude is more than a show — it’s a movement and mindset for women seeking emotional strength, financial freedom, spiritual clarity, and vibrant health in midlife and beyond.

Anu Jain breaks down the five pillars of women’s health — food, sleep, stress, exercise, and purpose — and explains how gene expression, hormones, and the gut, oral, brain, and vaginal microbiomes are intricately connected. From strength training in perimenopause and menopause to understanding why superfoods aren’t universal, this conversation delivers science-backed insights designed specifically for women navigating midlife health changes.The discussion also explores groundbreaking innovation in women’s health, including the future of menopause research, ovarian health, fertility, and targeted diagnostics. Anu Jain shares her investment work in women’s health startups, global initiatives like Women Moving Millions, XPRIZE, and Girl Up, and why funding and data equity are critical to advancing care. If you’re navigating caregiving, rediscovering your identity in midlife, or seeking smarter, personalized solutions for long-term vitality, this Vivatude series is an empowering roadmap to thriving — not just surviving — after 40.✨ Connect with Anu Jain💠 Viome website: https://www.viome.com/womens-health💠 Viome website: https://www.viome.com/💠 Evvy website: https://www.evvy.com/💠 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theanujain/💠 Women's Safety X-PRIZE: https://www.xprize.org/competitions/womens-safety✨ Connect with Anu Arora💠 Anu's book Ignite Your Light 👉 https://www.amazon.com/Ignite-Your-Light-infinite-potential/dp/1719066582💠 Website 👉 https://www.anuarora.com/💠 YouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@speakeranuarora💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/anuarora21/✨ Connect with Vivatude💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/VivatudeOfficial💠 Vivatude Podcast Playlist 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O2DNFGvKx2uh0rqhA8fWo7F💠 Meet Our Hosts 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O0sTSMv6IkG3WThSRouw-2xMentioned in this episode:Guaranteed Lifetime IncomeMindful Leadership LabMusic: Unite by tubebackr & Stanty is licensed under a Creative Commons License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...   / tubebackr   https://www.tubebackrmusic.com Support by RFM - NCM: https://bit.ly/2xGHypMLauren Promo

In this episode, the Vivatude founder and hosts share their thoughts about 2225 and 2226. For some, it's a time to embrace an unknown future, for others a chance for self-forgiveness. Lauren Archer with Vivitude encourages listeners to embrace change and personal growth by letting go of external expectations, trusting in synchronicities, and confidently expressing their true selves.

Tracy Cromwell shares simple, achievable ways caregivers can begin supporting their bodies again through movement, rest, nutrition, stress reduction, and asking for help. Life Coach Anu Aurora explores what it means to live in a year filled with paradox: moving fast while longing to slow down, holding joy and grief at the same time, and standing in the “in-between” stage so many women experience during this season of life.Lauren Archer: Embrace Change and Personal GrowthVivatude host Lauren Archer discussed the concept of thresholds in life, which represent phases where individuals are ready to move beyond familiar ways and embrace the unknown. She encouraged participants to pause and connect with their heart energy as a center of intelligence, distinguishing it from the mind's focus on external logic and planning. She invited them to reflect on what qualities or habits they might be ready to let go of, using her own transition from living in the US to becoming a digital nomad as an example. Lauren emphasized the importance of opening up to new aspects of oneself, such as courage, compassion, and authenticity, as they move into the next phase of their lives. Drawing from lived experience, Suzanne Newman explores forgiveness not as a single act, but as a process shaped by accumulated disappointments, altered dreams, and paths that led somewhere different than expected.Before You Set Intentions… Do this!Coach Kate Phillips recommends you “complete the past” and clear the slate for the new year. Kate Phillips hosted a special holiday edition of the Vivitude show focused on reflection and intention-setting for the new year.

In this episode of Vivatude, host Kate Phillips welcomes finance expert Scott McRae of The McRae Agency for an important conversation focused on financial concerns and strategies for caregivers. Women over 40 are often balancing careers, retirement planning, and the emotional and financial responsibilities of caring for aging parents. Scott brings over 35 years of experience as a retirement income specialist to help caregivers better understand how to reduce financial uncertainty while protecting their future prosperity.Kate and Scott explore the real financial challenges caregivers face, including out-of-pocket caregiving costs, lost income, and the stress of managing money during uncertain times. They discuss why traditional approaches—like CDs and low-yield savings—can fall short in today’s low interest rate environment, and how market volatility can put both retirement and caregiving plans at risk. Scott explains practical strategies for protecting money from market losses while still creating dependable income.Scott explains why many legacy LTC insurance policies have declined in value, with shrinking benefits and rising costs, and introduces multi-purpose financial strategies that allow families to build wealth while preparing for care needs. The conversation covers real estate as a family investment, showing how properties can create income, build equity, and serve as a future long-term care resource rather than a single-use expense. Kate and Scott also discuss how life insurance policies with long-term care riders can provide living benefits, allowing policyholders to access funds for care while still preserving legacy value for loved ones.Kate and Scott explore why annuities can provide significantly more income than traditional bank CDs, particularly as interest rates fall. They discuss how age actually becomes an advantage with annuities, allowing individuals and couples to increase guaranteed retirement income for both spouses. The conversation also breaks down indexed annuities, participation rates, and the now-famous metaphor of the “casino where you can’t lose money”—illustrating how it’s possible to participate in market growth without risking principal, especially during the critical retirement red zone.This episode also highlights why life insurance companies can offer guarantees Wall Street cannot, and how putting all financial professionals—CPAs, attorneys, and advisors—on one coordinated team leads to better outcomes. Scott shares how viewers can access powerful financial planning software and receive a personalized financial forecast to see exactly how long their money can last—on a guaranteed basis. If your biggest fear is running out of money while caring for loved ones and planning your future, this Vivatude conversation offers clarity, confidence, and actionable solutions.✨ Create a Financial Forecast with Scott McRae· The McRae Agency: https://mcraeagency.net/· Schedule a no-cost, no-obligation consultation with Scott:· [email protected]· Or call (501) 291-0025 ✨ Connect with Kate Phillips💠 Download Kate’s 22-page guide, “Break Through to Abundance: 4 Reasons You’re Stressing Over Money (and how to break the cycle forever!)” at 👉 https://katesgift.gr8.com/💠 YouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@totalwealth💠 Website 👉 https://www.totalwealthcoaching.com/💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/thekatephillips💠 Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/totalwealth.kate/✨ Connect with Vivatude💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/VivatudeOfficial💠 Vivatude Podcast Playlist 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O2DNFGvKx2uh0rqhA8fWo7F💠 Meet Our Hosts 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O0sTSMv6IkG3WThSRouw-2xMentioned in this episode:Perpetual WealthMindful...

Together, they explore the deep emotional and relational side of caregiving—especially for women over 40 who often carry the physical and emotional load of caring for aging parents.

He explains how he learned to “take off the wetsuit”—his powerful metaphor for the personalities, expectations, and roles we cling to that actually drain our energy. Through active listening, athletic performance strategies, and vulnerability, Pete discovered how releasing these emotional layers allows both the caregiver and the care receiver to feel supported. His insights help women build emotional strength, reduce burnout, and find meaning in the everyday challenges of caregiving.This conversation also highlights the importance of celebrating small wins, balancing giving and receiving, and shifting from “fixing” to simply being present.

In this inspiring episode of Vivatude, leadership and mindfulness coach Anu Arora welcomes Denise Medved, founder and creator of Ageless Grace®, to explore how women over 40 can support lifelong brain health, vitality, and confidence—especially during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Denise shares the personal journey that led her to develop Ageless Grace, a groundbreaking brain-body fitness program rooted in neuroplasticity. Designed to activate all five functions of the brain—strategic planning, memory and recall, analytical thinking, creativity and imagination, and kinesthetic learning—Ageless Grace also strengthens the physical skills needed for balance, mobility, and resilience at any age.Together, Anu and Denise invite listeners to rethink what “brain exercise” really means. While crossword puzzles and word games have their place, Denise explains why focusing on just one area of the brain leaves the rest under-stimulated. Through playful, intentional movement, Ageless Grace engages the whole brain and body simultaneously, improving mental clarity, coordination, and physical function. This conversation is especially meaningful for women navigating brain fog, ADD or ADHD, hormonal changes, and the mental overload that often comes with midlife responsibilities. Denise reassures listeners that these experiences are common—and that the brain can be strengthened, refreshed, and sharpened at any stage of life.The episode concludes with simple, practical exercises you can try immediately, including gentle geometry and creative movement practices that activate all five brain functions in just minutes a day. Denise and Anu demonstrate how curiosity, persistence, and play can help rewire the brain, build confidence, and restore a sense of joy and possibility. If you’re looking for an accessible, empowering approach to brain health that supports mental sharpness, physical vitality, and emotional well-being, this episode of Vivatude will leave you feeling encouraged, capable, and energized to keep growing—at every age.✨ Connect with Ageless Grace💠 Register for a free class on their website 👉 https://agelessgrace.com/💠 Get a free booklet on living a graceful life with and ageless brain and body 👉 https://agelessgrace.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Ageless-Grace-21-Tools-Resources.pdf💠 Their blog has information from doctors, scientists, and researchers on aging 👉 https://agelessgrace.com/blog/✨ Connect with Anu Arora💠 Anu's book Ignite Your Light 👉💠 Website 👉 https://www.anuarora.com/💠 YouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@speakeranuarora💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/anuarora21/✨ Connect with Vivatude💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/VivatudeOfficial💠 Vivatude Podcast Playlist 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O2DNFGvKx2uh0rqhA8fWo7F💠 Meet Our Hosts 👉 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAaH5P8bm1O0sTSMv6IkG3WThSRouw-2xMentioned in this episode:Guaranteed Lifetime Income

In this powerful episode of Vivatude, certified health coach and fitness professional Tracy Cromwell sits down with Dr. Kelly Kessler, licensed physical therapist and transformation coach, to explore how mindset and chronic stress directly impact the body—and what women over 40 can do to restore balance, vitality, and inner peace. Through deeply personal storytelling, Dr. Kessler shares the wake-up moment that shifted her from survival mode to presence, revealing how years of overachievement, self-neglect, and stress manifested as chronic pain and emotional disconnection. This conversation will resonate with women navigating midlife transitions, caregiving responsibilities, and the pressure to “do it all.”Together, Tracy and Kelly unpack how high-achieving women often carry stress in their bodies, leading to chronic pain, inflammation, fatigue, and burnout. Dr. Kessler explains how patterns of external validation, people-pleasing, and conditional self-worth—often rooted in childhood—can keep the nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight. She offers compassionate insight into how shame, guilt, and the belief of “not being enough” become embodied over time, and why healing requires more than pushing harder or fixing symptoms. This episode reframes success and wellness through the lens of nervous system regulation, self-trust, and emotional safety.The episode closes with practical, actionable self-care strategies you can begin using immediately, including body scanning, breathwork, and gentle awareness practices designed to help you tune back into your body and reset your stress response. Dr. Kessler also shares how to show up more authentically when old patterns resurface—without shame—by meeting yourself with compassion and curiosity.

In this episode of the Vivatude Podcast, host Kate Phillips, guide for financial and occupational wellness, welcomes Rebecca Porter, a trusted reverse mortgage specialist, for an empowering conversation about using home equity as a strategic tool—not a last resort. Designed for women over 40, especially those navigating caregiving, retirement planning, or aging-in-place decisions, this episode breaks down how reverse mortgages work, why they’re often misunderstood, and how they can support a life of purpose and prosperity right now. As part of Kate’s Rich Life Revival, this discussion reframes financial security as a way to create freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind in midlife.Kate and Rebecca explain the fundamentals of a HECM (Home Equity Conversion Mortgage), including how homeowners can eliminate monthly mortgage payments while accessing their equity as cash, a lump sum, or a growing line of credit. They tackle common reverse mortgage myths, clarifying that you’re not “losing” your home or your equity—you’re using it intentionally. The episode also explores tax advantages, success stories, and how a reverse mortgage can act as an investment buffer during market volatility, helping women stay in their homes longer and on their own terms.The conversation goes deeper by comparing HELOCs versus HECM reverse mortgages, outlining key differences in payment requirements, security, and long-term growth. Listeners will learn how HECM lines of credit compound over time, why they can’t be taken away by the bank, and how mortgage insurance protects both homeowners and their heirs. From understanding how much you can borrow to using a reverse mortgage to purchase a home, this episode delivers practical, confidence-building insights for women who want to protect their independence, keep their home, and design a financially resilient next chapter.✨ Connect with Rebecca Porter, New American Funding:💠 Email 👉 [email protected]💠 Phone 👉 425-244-2400✨ Connect with Kate Phillips:💠 Download Kate’s free 22-page guide: “Break Through to Abundance: 4 Reasons You’re Stressing Over Money (and how to break the cycle forever!) at https://www.totalwealthcoaching.com/💠 Sign up for a free training/replay on the New Retirement Road Map at https://www.totalwealthcoaching.com/💠 YouTube 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@totalwealth💠 Website 👉 https://www.totalwealthcoaching.com/💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/thekatephillips💠 Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/totalwealth.kate/✨ Connect with Vivatude 💠Find out more about our four amazing hosts and the 8 principles of wellness at https://vivatude.com/💠 Website 👉 https://vivatude.com/💠 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/VivatudeOfficial/
