Executive Encore with Patricia Muir

As we approach the crossroads of life after 60, we enter a phase of life beyond menopause that comes with its own unique set of challenges.

Often, the advice that's given to women of all ages is simply a "small men" version of reproduction medicine which ignores our unique biology – especially for beyond midlife. This perspective overlooks the complex and varied biology of women and how it profoundly changes through midlife and beyond which could be 3 decades or more.

In today’s episode, I welcome an expert who specializes in this area to help us understand how women can utilize lifestyle strategies to optimize their biology

Along with choices, we are incumbent to find joy, in fact, enhance joy, and remain optimistic – even when we know that there can be setbacks – and sometimes total life wipe-outs.

My guest, Vanda North, believes that building your joy intelligence positively affects all aspects of your life and work. Just a small shift in thinking or different daily act can change your outlook for the better. The most important point is that when you feel more deeply, quietly, significantly joyous inside, you are far more resilient to life’s upsets.

Vanda's purpose on this planet is to share joy enhancing concepts. Vanda shares practical, purposeful and positive thoughts, and actions for you to try on. Vanda shares her ideas all over the world through books and seminars and how she lives.

It is my honour to introduce Vanda North to my esteemed and respected audience of women finding

As we approach the crossroads of our 60th birthday and beyond, we begin to appreciate our hidden power as older women. It’s exciting to know that we have more choices than ever before.   

Many of us begin to recognize the re-emergence of the wild woman that was always part of us, but has been suppressed and hidden for many years.   

Our true self is about to unfold again with opportunities and possibilities as we navigate changes and transitions along with the commitment to be true to ourselves and live life on our own terms.  

Audrey Danaher, is a retired registered nurse and the author of Becoming of Age, published in 2022. In her book, Audrey explores women’s experiences in the Third Stage of Life - that period that starts about age 60.    

A transformative experience for Audrey was making the transition to writer from registered nurse beginning with her decision to chronicle her journey training for the New York City Marathon in 2014.  

Be ready to reconnect with your younger self who believed you could do or be anything.  

It is my honour to introduce Audrey as my guest today to inspire each one of us to make that commitment and to support each other as we navigate our next phase of life.

Long before they approach the crossroads such as monumental birthdays, some women experience an event that changes their perception of what fulfillment looks like.

A diagnosis of cancer can profoundly shift our perspective about what is important and what is best … for us.

When this monumental shift involves our personal AND our professional lives, we are forced to reflect on our desire, our capabilities, and our capacity to continue our work.

We negotiate our workload to navigate the demands of client work and our own expectations for our performance while honouring the healthy integration of work, life, and self-care.

In this podcast, Alexis Gladstone shares how her recurring diagnosis led her to focus on what was important in life – and what wasn’t. That meant navigating client work and her own expectations.

Alexis is the founder of Intelead, a consulting practice based in Chicago.

Alexis designs strategies and programs to help clients develop current and next-generation leaders and drive organizational change that delivers results. She is passionate about gender equity and is a sought-out voice, trainer, and coach on the topic of women and leadership and helps clients recruit, develop, and retain female talent.

Crystal-Marie Sealy is a sage from a younger generation of women. She is passionate about supporting our “best” self with a more authentic and intuitive approach to life. Crystal-Marie is a best-selling author – of adult and children’s books – and virtual keynote speaker. Crystal Marie is first and foremost a stay-at-home-mom who is currently homeschooling.

I truly believe that women share the power of wisdom through the multi generations. There is much to learn from younger generations.

Long before they approach the crossroads such as monumental birthdays, such as our 60th birthday, some women experience an event that changes their perception of what fulfillment looks like.

Many of us (women of multi generations) are taking stock of our lives and contemplating what we are doing in our life and work. For many of us regardless of age, this is our own momentous rite of passage powered by choices.

As an author and speaker, Crystal-Marie inspires children to authenticity, AND invites women of all ages who resonate with her philosophy to join her in a more authentic and intuitive approach to life. As an empath and introvert, she thrives in a more feminine lifestyle.

In my conversation with Crystal-Marie, we explore approaching fulfillment by acknowledging the value of bliss, intuition, and self-trust.

This is a time when many of us take stock of our lives and contemplate what we are doing in our life and work. This is time of transition and a momentous rite of passage that can be initiated willingly or by what we perceive as a crisis. For any life transition, there is a spectrum from uncomfortable to crisis based on subjective distress and coping skills.

In my conversation with Bruce, we explore how you can overcome crisis, make it a turning point for a better life, and for setting a new direction in life after 60.
