In the hands of an experienced practitioner, tarot can help bring you back to your blueprint, your calling, and your intrinsic power.About LaDonnaLaura Donahue aka “LaDonna” is an astrologist and tarot practitioner. She’s been using her own astrological blueprint as a roadmap for life, as well as elements of human design, and has been using tarot to confirm, realign, or expand her intuition for the past 5+ years.

For too long, this important and disruptive time has been overlooked in both medicine and society.For decades, the only option offered was synthetic hormone replacement.

Cue the panic attacks, throwing up off stage and a general feeling of dread before a performance.

Do you pay attention to your own self-talk? You might be surprised that when you do, it's full of judgment not only of yourself but others you don't even know. A common pitfall of our judgment is around our aging bodies and minds, and it's deeply ingrained in our psyche from a young age. Because of this internalized ageism, we make assumptions about what age means, what it says about the aging population, and how we are somehow doing it wrong. Ageism is present at every age and affects everyone. The good news is that it can be turned around with educated and intentional conversations full of curiosity and respect. To discuss the topic of ageism there is no better guest than Kris Geerken, Co-Director of Changing the Narrative, where she developed the Age-Friendly Healthcare program, including the production of the educational film Antidotes for Ageism. Kris also developed the toolkit for intergenerational conversations on ageism.  Previously, Kris served as Vice President of the Colorado Center for Aging.  She also worked in hospice, where she developed a community training program in advanced care planning.  Kris holds a Master of Health Administration degree and a B.S. in Human Development, concentrating on aging issues.Hop in and let's talk about ageism and how we can do better for ourselves and each other.

Let’s talk about taking big risks, shall we? They are terrifying! They trigger our primal brain so that we feel like we’re in real danger. It’s why most of us don’t take big risks or make big changes - because it stirs up all of the demons and fears we don’t normally deal with in our busy lives. But if there is a nagging feeling that something needs to change, and soon, chances are something needs to change soon! So today, I’m joined by fellow podcaster and empathic life coach, Linda Brand, to talk about her big risks, and the rewards that come when you jump, even when it’s the scariest thing you’ve ever done. Linda and I talk about why risk-taking is important, how to do it, and what it looks like in the messy middle before we fully embody the change. This is a sweet and inspiring conversation, and I’m so excited to share this wisdom. About Linda Brand: Linda is an empowerment coach and podcast host. She has been an entrepreneur for over 30 yrs. She raised a son as a single mom, she overcame a debilitating illness and overcame many challenges and trauma in her youth. She now serves and supports others through her podcast Empowered and is in the process of writing a memoir. She also changed her life back in 2022 sold her home and moved across the country with her rescue dog.

I've been percolating for a few years now on the gender roles not only in our society but in my home. So, when Gloria Steinem's 90th birthday rolled around in March, I knew it was a sign to do an episode on Modern Feminism. So many women besides Gloria have thrown their passion and voice into the conversation and because of this, so much has shifted in our favor over the last 60 years. There is still work to do, but the question is what does the work look like now, and who is doing it? A little hint: If you are alive right now, this is your time in history to effect change. The future is counting on us to pick up the baton and run our leg down the field. I'm picking up the baton today with my amazing guest, Chloe Redmond, of Vino Vaquera Consulting.  Together we talk about where we've been, what being a feminist looks like today, and how might that shape the future. This is an important conversation for all of us to have in our way. I hope this is an inspiration. Follow Chloe on IG @vinovaqueraconsultingAbout Chloe: Chloe Redmond is a leader in digital marketing, influencer partnerships, and social media management through her marketing agency Vino Vaquera Consulting. A chance opportunity in 2020 to work with Deepak Chopra’s wellness company, Chopra Global, left her with the understanding of how mindfulness and marketing can co-exist. Chloe is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs reach their purist potential through intentional and intuitive marketing practices.

Here we are again, talking about money!Why? It’s important because, for something we earn, touch, use, and interact with every day we sure have a hard time understanding how to make it work for us.

On today’s episode, my special guest is ME! I’m coming to you today solo on the mic to share my thoughts about the process of healing, the process of coming home to yourself, and how that looks out in the real world while interacting with other real people, especially the ones we love. There is a lot of mainstream talk about doing this kind of work, but very few talk about how we relate differently to people and the world around us in the process. It can get messy and a little unsettling to change, so today I want to talk about tools to help navigate this powerful and brave work of coming home to yourself. ✨ Join the Private Podcast Club – A monthly magazine subscription and private podcast inspiration.  💫 Work with Leanne – Intuitive sessions, energy healing, and guidance for midlife reinvention📲 Follow @livingwellnessmuse on Instagram & Facebook💼 LinkedIn: Leanne Cooper Elliott🎙️ New episodes drop twice a month on Thursday

Money, Money, Money. What a charged and ever-present topic. Money can hold meaning in significantly different ways for all of us, symbolizing access, status, struggle, or those things we want most that are just out of our reach. No matter where we land on the spectrum of having or not having enough money, our relationship with it, how we spend and save it,  and most importantly how we feel about all of that, is vital to having the best relationship with our finances. Today, I’m joined by Michelle Semones, a Personal Finance Expert and Coach, to share her tips and systems that help us feel better about our money, and empower us around realistic spending and prioritizing saving.   Go ahead and grab a pen and paper, I think you’re going to want to take notes on this one.   Learn More about Michelle on her website: https://www.michellesemones.com/Follow Michelle on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellesemones/Follow Michelle on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/michellesemones/  or @michellesemonesFollow Michelle on Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/MichelleSemonesPersonalfinancecoach/Watch Michelle on Youtube  https://www.youtube.com/@MichelleSemones✨ Join the Private Podcast Club – A monthly magazine subscription and private podcast inspiration.  💫 Work with Leanne – Intuitive sessions, energy healing, and guidance for midlife reinvention📲 Follow @livingwellnessmuse on Instagram & Facebook💼 LinkedIn: Leanne Cooper Elliott🎙️ New episodes drop twice a month on Thursday

Did you hear that Facebook and Instagram went down yesterday? This is relevant because today we are talking about something for your business that makes social media less important than you imagine when it comes to fostering relationships and, ultimately sales, from your followers. It’s something called list building, which has the highest return on investment than any other marketing strategy. Today I am joined from the UK by Helen Munshi, a list-building and quiz funnel expert to talk about why lists are important, how to build one, and once you have one what to do with it to set your business on fire.Learn more about Helen’s quiz funnels on her website: https://helenmunshi.com/Follow on IG: @helenmunshiFollow on Facebook: Business Growth Strategy for Small Businesses and EntrepreneursConnect on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenmunshi/✨ Join the Private Podcast Club – A monthly magazine subscription and private podcast inspiration.  💫 Work with Leanne – Intuitive sessions, energy healing, and guidance for midlife reinvention📲 Follow @livingwellnessmuse on Instagram & Facebook💼 LinkedIn: Leanne Cooper Elliott🎙️ New episodes drop twice a month on Thursday

The teen years can be a wild ride! As parents, it’s our job not to make them even harder. It’s tempting to make it about us and what we want and need - which is usually feeling in control of their lives even when that isn’t the reality anymore. The painful part is accepting that, loosening the grip, learning to trust them, and walking them through the highs and lows as they come with love, love, and more love. Today I'm joined by Trish Hecker, both a mom of teens and a certified sex ed teacher, as we take a deep dive into how to parent our teens without all of the drama and disconnection our culture has come to expect.

Calling all business owners and entrepreneurs!This one is for you. If you have a business then you know opening one is easy - all you need is something to sell, and someone to buy it, and voila you are in business. But to stand out in business, to find your perfect clients in business, and to thrive as a business that is a whole other story. To stand out, you need something called a brand identity. A brand is the personality of the company. Sometimes that’s based on the owner, sometimes the product but any which way, branding is what sets a business apart. It’s what makes your business different from any other business even if you do the same things as one or many other businesses. Good, effective branding is not a shot in the dark. It is a carefully curated process that helps you name what it is you do, who you do it for, and why you do it. About Asia:Asia Dore is a brand strategist on a mission to simplify and revolutionize the concept of branding so every entrepreneur can take full advantage of it to grow their business.

Did you know that we have a physical body and an energy body?When we think about getting healthy, we often focus on our physical body - eating better, sleeping, and exercising.

Today we're talking about suffering. Such a fun holiday topic, but this time of year we want to feel good and joyful, but often some kind of pain is holding us back. The funny thing is, we accept that pain - physical, emotional or spiritual - as just part of our humanity. While it's true, that we do have a “pain body”, we’re not meant to live there. Pain is a messaging system that helps us detect what needs attention so we can tend to it, move along to healing, and get back to feeling good.  Join the conversation with Janis Isaman, owner of My Body Couture, as we talk about full-body sustainability which leads to feeling good nearly all of the time.  Hop in and let's learn how this looks and where to begin.

THE POWER OF TINY!Less is more. You have heard it, but are you living it? It sounds so good to simplify. To slow down. But so many of us aren’t living in alignment with our values and priorities around this. Do you dread your days? Do you feel burned out? Are you always pushing and trying to get to the next level? Or, maybe, you're just trying to get through another exhausting day. You might even know you’re in the wrong career and still do it anyway, giving most of your life over to it.And you do this because change isn’t easy. It’s scary and uncertain. What makes change so hard is giving up the identities that created our belonging professionally, in our communities, and with the people closest to us. But change is inevitable, necessary, and good. Today my guest is Lydia Lee the work reinvention coach, and freedom instigator at Screw the Cubicle. Lydia is a mid-career coach who helps professionals strategize what she calls a solopreneur freedom model. Freedom is the keyword here. Less, not more. She joins me today to talk about how to be a strategic minimalist and capture the life and career we crave the most right now. Hop in and let’s get simplified!  About LydiaLydia Lee's the Work Reinvention Coach & Solopreneur Strategist at Screw The Cubicle.

When you do business, of course, the goal is to get noticed, provide a quality good or service, and then enjoy the fruits of your efforts. But how to get noticed by the right people, is the question.

It’s important to be a valuable part of a community. But ask yourself, how much of what you're bringing to the table is about what other people want from you rather than what you want to give. Are you doing things for validation or are you creating from a place that's self-validating?  Meaning, you love what you’re producing, achieving, living, and doing for yourself first.Prioritizing other people’s expectations at work or home, or even with strangers, is the fastest way to stifle our joy and real purpose. It can make achieving milestones and goals feel not so great because maybe they aren't the goals we want to achieve in the first place.Today I'm joined by career and leadership coach and TEDx speaker, Lena Athena, to talk about how we can tap into our personal value system to get unstuck and move into the freedom of meeting goals that align with our purpose.About Lena:Lena Athena is a career and leadership coach who helps mid-career women build surreal self-trust and cultivate a powerful and respected presence.  Lena's clients confidently create deep emotional freedom, respectful dynamics, and the fully liberated and meaningful life they deserve.
