Beautiful Second Act

I'm feeling it again. That calling. It's CHANGE. When you get that knowing inside of you, do you silence it, or do you heed the call?

On this episode I share with you how I've learned to listen to my inner voice and deep knowing  for when The Universe is guiding me towards change. How now, in this season of Fall and the time of letting go, I understand that once again, I'm being guided to make a shift towards something else...and I'd like to take you along with me.

Since change is the only constant in life, we need to find a way to be more fully present, have more joy for the journey, and use the wisdom we've learned from our years to adjust and work with what we have in the moment. Nothing is meant to stay the same. By pivoting, we can move along the river of life as it flows instead of working against it.

After surgery, Meryl Cook was troubled by the scar that was left behind after her breast  lumpectomy. She knew she needed to make peace with it in order to fully heal. While blessing her scar and allowing herself to see the beauty in its imperfection, Meryl created a piece of art that would change her life.

In this episode about a fibre artist that found her joy after breast cancer, we share an inspiring story how self-compassion through art can heal your soul. Today Meryl is helping other women to enjoy life fully through art, community, and encouragement, while making peace with our flaws, and embracing our wild women side.

Let's be honest, life can be hard. It is easy to fall down the rabbit hole of despair when all we see is lack, saddness, or negativity. But there IS an abundance of joy, goodness, and wonder...if we know where to look.

In this episode we will  talk about all the places where abundance lives and miracles happen every day. There is promise and reasons to celebrate even when it's hard to find the light.

A study from 2021 showed that only 29% of women are 100% open and honest about the problems they are facing. That means most women suffer and worry alone.

What if there was a place where women helping women could actually change the world?

Nicolette Lazarus is the founder and creator of Womanship, a platform and community that connects and supports women from all over the world in allyship, regardless of race or religion, so women can feel seen, heard, and understood.

Exploring the things that we often collectively experience as women and holding space for them in a safe and anonymous place online is Nicolette's passion.  Within Womanship, women can connect through Empathy Circles, and join conversations with wellness professionals.

When we reach midlife and beyond in years, the amount of times our hearts have been broken seems to exceed any reasonable number imaginable. The question came to mind when I was suffering, once again, a terrible loss.

How many times can we survive heartbreak?

Then I started wondering, how many ways do our hearts get broken? How do we overcome the excruciating pain from it? And how do we grow stronger? How do we heal?

In this episode I share some of the most painful ways I've experienced heartbreak, and the many lessons I've learned along the way. I share from some of the best spiritual teachers that I've learned from and give some insight into how they have helped me.

Do you ever look in the mirror after 50 and wonder, what the hell happened to me?  Often after menopause we are left with a body we hardly recognize as our own. This can lead to shaming, body hating, and an overall feeling of loss.

It doesn't have to be that way.

On today's episode, we have Jacinta Richmond, a.k.a. Madame Menopause. She is here to talk with us about how amazing your body truly is and to think of all the miraculous things that it does for you.

We discuss changing the culture on how women look at their bodies, and talk about her 5-week hypnosis program that works on the subconscious level to allow women to start loving their bodies again, at any age or stage of life.

There is bonus content at the end with Madame Menopause sharing a FREE HYPNOSIS SESSION to help kick-start you into loving and acceptance of your body.

With 76 published titles (and counting) to her credit, Brenda Novak shows no signs of slowing down.

After twenty-five years in the publishing industry, Brenda attributes tenacity for her prolific career as an author. At fifty-nine years old she still plays pickleball, runs, and raises millions of dollars for diabetes research, something near to her heart as her son was diagnosed with the disease.

In this episode Brenda shares advice on writing, on living well, all about her latest book release, and about all the fun she's had along the way.

We all love our pets but for author Jeff Goodrich, he actually had a life changing event just by walking his dog Duder.

In this episode, Jeff explains how his remarkable midlife journey began by getting a dog, which put him on a new trajectory of losing 70 pounds, completing several marathons and ultramarathons, and repairing his marriage of 30 plus years.

These experiences have shaped his understanding of resilience, determination, and that its never too late to start loving yourself and your life!
