Aging GreatFULLy with Holley Kelley

Imagine being on the fast track to startup success when a car speeding through a crosswalk jeopardized everything you’d built in a split second! That’s what happened to today’s Aging GreatFULLy guest, author of Sink or Swimwear: My Crazy Days as an Entrepreneur Surviving Life, PTSD, and a Cutthroat Industry, Jennifer Berk Weisman, owner of Just Bones Boardwear, a swim apparel company.
In a constant battle with life-altering trauma, PTSD, a traumatic brain injury, and the cutthroat fashion industry, Just Bones Boardwear founder, Jennifer Berk Weisman, shares her true and powerful story of recovery, hope, strength and resilience. And for those who may question if they have what it takes to hang in there when life’s Riptides try to sweep them away—if they should sink or swim -- she answers the question for them -- and reminds them that they too are born swimmers like her, and NEVER quitters!
Having faced misfortune on both a personal and professional level, Jennifer’s message echoes one of grit and fortitude and even how when life changes your course, or even changes you – perhaps you have to reinvent yourself, adapt accordingly and show up fiercer than ever before!
She inspires through her platform, work and new release book, Sink or Swimwear, to channel your inner strength to overcome trauma and chase your dreams. For anyone who has faced adversity, business owners, entrepreneurs, and those who seek inspiration, Jennifer aims to empower others to conjure their own fierce determination to succeed and reach for the stars, even when facing the greatest of adversity. She acknowledges that it isn't necessarily easy, but reaching your dreams definitely makes it worth it.
A must-listen power-hour of enlightYOUment for those who want to transform their doubt, ride the wave of determination and dare to dream!

In part 2 of our Aging GreatFULLy Relationship RescYOU series, we welcome back Dr. Erica Goodstone, Ph.D., LMHC, LMFT, a Healing Through Love Mentor and Relationship Expert and continue the conversation in Relationship RescYOU 200: Me, We, World. We receive a bounty of insight as Dr. Erica helps us understand the nuances of relationships, defines what love is and what love isn’t, and we gain a better understanding of why, when it comes to others, love can be a team sport. They say it takes two to tango, and where love it concerned, it also takes two – to share a common goal of being invested in the relationship.
It’s a conversation rich with wisdom across the ages, as Dr. Erica cites what she’s learned personally, professionally and even gained from some of her most admired mentors. And we realize love may be a little easier said and aspired than acquired – but when we achieve it, it’s well worth the effort. We talk about expectations and even disappointments, both being one and being on the receiving end of one—the power of forgiveness and making amends, and even letting go. And we discuss how the little things can be the big things. We also reflect back to last week’s episode, Relationship RescYOU 101: Me, Myself & I, to our youth and former experiences, even culture, and how they play a powerful role and greatly impact what we bring to our relationships. We gain awareness as to why we choose the partners we choose and even a better understanding on why they may react the way they do in certain situations.
It’s a deeply insightful power-hour of enlightYOUment on all things relationships you won’t want to miss for everyone that wants to know more about dating, their partner, strengthen their marriage, understand more about love, improve their life or just wants more harmony in their relationships both individually and with others!
Dr. Erica Goodstone helps you (as an individual or couple, male, female, gay or heterosexual) to heal your body, yourself, and your relationships through Love.

In this special 2-part Aging GreatFULLy series we put the spotlight on all things Relationships! In this first episode, Relationship RescYOU 101: Me Myself and I, we welcome special guest, relationship expert, Dr. Erica Goodstone, Ph.D., LMHC, LMFT, a Healing Through Love Mentor, as we focus on the most vital and foundational relationship – that being, the one we have with ourselves. Dr. Erica Goodstone educates us on mother-infant bonding and how the formative years, those we can’t remember, are paramount in how we view and engage in relationships later in life as well as how we adopt personal beliefs regarding internal and external love.
It’s an educational and insightful hour from beginning to end, as we discover how we are impacted by our culture, our family dynamic, upbringing and foundations of love. But most importantly, we learn about the brain’s plasticity allowing us to ability to improve areas where we may have experienced a deficit in those formative and younger years and this empowers us as adults to take the wheel and make positive improvements to make the rest of the years the best of the years moving forward. We discuss disappointment, forgiveness, and capacity for self-love and how the relationship with ourselves is an important one for many reasons. We also realize that when we look around and only see ourselves, it’s not only important to like that person in the mirror, but we also need to be able to count on them. We need to take stock in who we are. But also, it’s beneficial to become our own best friend, get behind ourselves, support ourselves in this journey of life, and know what we stand for and really appreciate what it’s taken to become the person we are today. When we do the work, we realize, when we’ve gotten ourselves to a place where we are good with the person in the mirror, we are ready for what the world –and others—may bring our way. Getting good with who we are is also wonderful rite of passage towards Aging GreatFULLy as well!

In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we use our special key and take a deep dive into our very own conscience as we welcome guest, Leonard Perlmutter, the founder and director of the American Meditation Institute in Averill Park, New York, author of the bestselling The Heart and Science of Yoga, and originator of National Conscience Month. In his latest book, Your Conscience: The Key to Unlock Limitless Wisdom and Creativity and Solve All of Life’s Challenges, with Jenness Cortez Perlmutter, Leonard shows how to give your conscience sway in your life so that ALL of your decisions support and guide you to act in your highest good, leading to a life of joy, love, peace and both personal and professional success.
In this powerful hour, Leonard shares what the conscience is, which may surprise many! He also uncovers why it can be difficult to follow the advice of our conscience and defines the four functions of the mind, Ego, Senses, Unconscious, and Conscious. Leonard demonstrates how to call a “meeting” with your mind which truly allows us to understand how these for functions work together. We discover the incredible power of our thoughts and the relationship regarding how they really work towards manifesting into becoming things. One thing we realize, is that it’s important to pay attention and be mindful of our mind--consciously conscience—but also, note which part has the loudest voice.
It’s an enlightening and educational hour from beginning to end allowing us to discover more about our own conscience and as Perlmutter shares, “when regularly exercised, can become sharp and clear like a brilliant mirror” which, of course, makes it earlier to reflect our inner wisdom and guide our actions.
Perlmutter is also the internationally renowned meditation teacher (also known as Ram Lev) and discusses the positive power of meditation. Visit the American Meditation Institute to learn more about Leonard Perlmutter’s work, his many books, classes and videos, as well as Free weekly guided meditations and Satsang every Sunday morning. Instructions are available at https://americanmeditation.org/sunday-meditation/. Leonard is one of the Western world’s pioneers in the introduction of meditation into the cultural firmament having founded the American Meditation (AMI) in 1996. AMI’s courses are now approved and accredited by the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association. Leonard also serves as the author and editor of “Transformation,” the Journal of Meditation as Mind/Body Medicine. You can learn more by visiting www.americanmeditation.org.

This week we explore how to reframe our understanding of past challenges and use those experiences to identify positive new ways to navigate forward more empowered because of them!
We welcome Isabel Chiara, creator of the “Life Actualization Process,” a guide, mentor, and leader, who brings with her a powerful message, “Your obstacles are working for you!”
Isabel is also the author of the new released book, Eat Your Words, a narrative, semi-autobiographical exploration, full of life-lessons and experiences transforming self-destructive behavior into self-compassionate dialogue and ways to better understand how inherited trauma can influence our tendency to use food or other external substances for placation. Chiara shares why women are especially good at creating Food-Abusive relationships and even her historic abuse of her own physical nutritional fluctuations.

Isabel also reveals how we can transform addiction through slow steps of self-compassion, the importance of self-care, gut instinct, and even imaginative muses. But most of all, she asks listeners to love NOT being there yet and even to reframe what “getting there” actually means and why we can come together to transform what success physically looks like.
One thing resonates throughout the hour, failure is not an option – as long as we are trying, we are learning, growing and transforming--but not failing!
Isabel has been a leader throughout her entire life, studying and working in transformational energy modalities, serving others, whether through entrepreneurial work, culinary prowess, or her professional intuitive guidance.
With dedication, Isabel activates unlimited potential and empowerment for her clients, helping them to ignite their full passion and align with their most authentic life path, masterfully supporting the liberation of constricting beliefs, definitions, and self-limitations.

We’re all on life’s journey heading in varying directions but what we truly desire is to achieve Life Mastery. And today’s guest would have it no other way! We welcome Shirley Stirling Fernandez, author of just that book, a USA Today & Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Life Mastery: Personal Progression Toward an Infinite Potential. Sherry shares The Formula for Continual Expansion into Your Own Greatness: Contentment + Progress = Happiness. And this is something she is eager to instill in every reader and listener, along with the clearly defined pathway to achieve it. Her book, Life Mastery, makes the case that if you are not progressing toward a better version of yourself, you can never achieve any true sense of joy … For happiness comes from recognizing and celebrating the fulfillment of your personal goals no matter how challenging – and then setting out on the road to the next one. A lifetime of progress toward your infinite potential is what makes you exceptional, fills your heart and enables you to leave your imprint on the world – your legacy!
Her incredibly powerful book provides everyone with the keys to embark on this quest – the determination of your WHY – without which you will likely fail quickly. The WHAT – what needs your focus and the attention to achieve Life Mastery in eight different aspects of your life. And the HOW -- getting an assessment of where you are; what goals and action steps to take; the systems to put in place the habits you need to instill (or replace). This exceptional manual gives you everything you need to get you on the road to Life Mastery, and inspires you to take that first step!
Sherry doesn’t just talk the talk, she has walked in the shoes herself and tells her own inspiring story that she shares with listeners, having left home at the young age of 17, Sherry and her husband Ken Fernandez, are a rags-to-riches story. Against all odds they found success, not only financially, but in each of the eight areas of Life Mastery --- physical, spiritual, relationships, education, motivation, money, lifestyle, character. And one thing Sherry always held close, was she always believed she was destined for great things. And she was right! This episode is a riveting and inspiring hour from beginning to end, empowering everyone towards achieving their own Life Mastery!

We don’t want to get stuck in limbo – we’d rather play the game – as host, Holley Kelley shares in her opening remarks.

Her message is inspiring and empowering, including one of her mantras; that it’s “never too early or too late”.
In her book, BOOM, she highlights step-by-step, practical advice and instructions for getting started, from beginners to more advanced, while showcasing the benefits of making these changes right now. She reminds us how small changes are significant and every effort makes strides towards our health and wellness and that today’s habits impact our 85-year young self.
Admitting that not everyone enjoys getting into healthier routines of wellness, she makes it easy to get started with her inspiring approach. A must-listen power-hour of enlightYOUment for everyone whose growing older!
