Beautiful Second Act

What if you turned 50 and didn't have a retirement plan? What if you have worked your whole life and didn't save a nest egg to get you through the second half of your life, or even the last few decades?

Today's episode is an interview with a wonderfully knowledgeable woman who found herself at 50 and had no idea how she got there. Midlife snuck up on Christine McCarron, and she had no idea what she was going to do with the second half of her life. She just knew she needed to START. To start making things happen for herself and to find a way to be financially independent.

Using her real estate skills, Christine continued to learn the cycles of the market. She now has plenty of money that is always working for her. She wrote a book, and has a podcast that is geared to teaching others about real estate investing, and how anyone, at any age can start. It's never too late.

Do you still believe you must have a college degree to be successful? Have you ever been shamed for NOT having a degree?

In today's episode I dive deep into my thoughts about education and how many very successful humans have chosen to NOT get a degree. How from the time we are children, it is pressed upon us that if we don't go to college we are less than, or won't be as successful.

Living a full life, one of creativity and wonder doesn't always have to be found through the path of college. Although a degree is necessary for some careers, it isn't required to live the life of your dreams.

Do you often feel small? Do you feel that with the big concerns of the world today that there is nothing you can do to change things, or make them better?

Today, I had a heavy heart and with all that is happening in the world, it can make me feel sometimes hopeless. I knew I had to turn my thoughts and intentions around. In this episode, I talk of the importance that each of us are responsible for bringing our highest vibrations. How just one person can impact the direction the world goes in by realizing our place in the collective.

In today's episode, we hear about the life of Thomas Dewalt. Having grown up in Marin County, in The Bay Area of Northern California, Thomas worked along side his father in the music industry as a sound engineer. Exposed to people like Huey Lewis, Bob Weir, and Bill Graham, Thomas was fully engulfed in the music scene and learned a trade that would serve him his whole life.

He tells his story about being a disc jockey, travel as an executive chef, and how he came to be where he is today, living in Lake County, California.

Listen to Thomas share about his TV stations on Youtube, film production, and how he's helping once again in the music scene here in Lake County as a sound guy.

As Don Miguel Ruiz says in his book, THE FOUR AGREEMENTS, nothing other people do is because of you. It's because of themselves. So when others form an opinion about you and judge, it has nothing to do with you. It's on them.

As a woman in midlife, I have to say that I am not concerned with what others think of me.  I used to obsess about it though. In my earlier years, I was always concerned with how to keep the peace, and how I could be loved. Now I find that the more I love myself and practice acceptance for exactly who I am, the less likely I am to stress over what others think.

This episode is all about self-respect, and self-esteem. In order to have them, you can only get them through the SELF. It won't ever come from others.

Thanks for listening. Below are some links from today's show.
Cheers!

The end of each month in 2022, I air a bonus episode called, The Reading Room. Here I share my writing with you, as this is what I'm doing full-time in midlife and beyond.

We all need to find that thing that lights us up, and fills our hearts with joy. For me, it's writing.

This episode is on my new novel, The Clock Tower Of Maple Creek. A small town, contemporary romance novel.

In Maple Creek, Kentucky, two independent women from different generations stand against a big city developer in a story of past and present heart ache, lost loves, and the possibility of new beginnings revolving around the restoration of a small town and its iconic clock tower.

I hope you enjoy this bonus episode of Beautiful Second Act, and would love it if you do, to please leave a comment on Instagram, or our Facebook Group Beautiful Second Act. I have links below for help with that.

None of us wants to disappoint anyone. The problem though is, far too often we worry more about what others want from us, or think of us, than we take care of our own needs. We make agreements with ourselves and then brake those agreements in the name of pleasing others.

In today's episode, Stop Being A People Pleaser, I talk about my journey to my authentic self. I explain how having integrity about your self worth, and personal needs, is so important to living a truly happy life.

As we fall into others, from the our spouses, our children, our jobs, our friendships, we can betray our own selves. We must remember to first belong to ourselves before we can ever belong to anyone else.

Nobody shares the excruciating symptoms of perimenopause. Night sweats, hot flashes, body aches, dry skin, and sleeplessness.

Tracy Minnoch Nuku (founder of Sexy Ageing Podcast),is an international master fitness instructor that has always been on top of her game with nutrition and well being, so when she hit her mid-forties and started experiencing strange symptoms, she was surprised her own doctor didn't give her answers.

At lunches with her girlfriends, if Tracy asked her midlife friends if anyone was having the same symptoms, she was greeted with the sound of crickets. NO ONE was talking.

At 3 o'clock in the morning on her computer, Tracy found the name to her condition. Perimenopause was wreaking havok in her life and she knew she needed to get to the bottom of it.

Now discussing all things midlife and beyond on her podcast Sexy Ageing, Tracy shares with us today on Beautiful Second Act all the ways she's reaching out to women in the hopes of helping others find ways to better navigate perimenopause and menopause.
