Feminine Roadmap

Today on Feminine Roadmap: Pursuing your third act quest with Diana Place. Diana is on a mission to reframe how we view aging and life after 50 by inspiring and supporting women to reimagine the decades ahead. Those decades are the opportunity to create third act lives of joy, meaning and purpose. This season of life isn’t the time to step back or withdraw, it is time to expand, thrive, and create your best life. As we approach the “midlife” years we are often faced with paradigms that we may not have fully understood that take up residence in our belief systems. The beauty of it all is that just because we have a limiting belief about aging does not mean that we are limited, we can choose a different mindset and outcome. We have been handed longevity, we are living 30 years longer than our great grandmothers. Another way to look at it is that we have lived one adult life from 18-48 years old, now we have an entire new adult life to live from 48-78 years old or maybe even longer. Diana believes this is a gift we each get to unwrap by prioritizing our time and holding a space for our dreams. Many women in midlife feel this yearning for something akin to meaning, purpose, a craving for new, different experiences. Diana wants listeners to consider that your third act quest is your time and it’s your duty to let your dreams come to the surface in this season. She encourages you to tap into that inner GP, to follow it and that inner knowing that comes with it. What is that tickling in your soul that is calling to you? What in your life is pulling you forward? What is seeking to breakthrough the soil of your life and grow? Don’t let your gift remain unwrapped because others need it more than you know. It doesn’t need to take a disruption to move you in a new direction it can be a decision. So what decision will you make? Grab a cuppa something wonderful, join Diana and I for this inspiring conversation about unfolding our third act quest.

Today on Feminine Roadmap: how to live powerfully in midlife with Penelope Magoulianiti. Penelope empowers women to believe in themselves, to regain the determination to fulfill their dreams and ambitions in midlife. As women we are often taught to be quiet, behave, ask for permission and feel the need to prove ourselves which often leads to stifled lives. Instead, Penelope encourages listeners to pause and think about their why. When we stop and add ourselves back in to our priorities, we increase our strength, stamina and presence. As a result, our lives begin to become fuller, more meaningful and aligned. It is a journey that we need to be willing to take, to change what isn’t working, what isn’t serving us and to set healthy boundaries. We have the power to change these things, to shift away from blame and judgement to creating the life we desire. It’s so important that we never give up on our dreams and Penelope shares strategies to help women find their way through. She reminds women that they have so much wisdom and knowledge, they bring so much experience to the table to live powerfully in midlife.

Today on Feminine Roadmap, artist Faigie Kobre talks about how to reignite your creativity. Her desire is to help adults to find the joy of creating especially those who believe they cannot “do art”. She helps listeners identify where those blocks come from regarding art and being artistic. Art and creativity are another form of communication so they will be as diverse as the people who express it. So often we see art as something only the “gifted” can do but creativity is built into each and every one of us. Creativity encompasses food, gardening, interior design, fashion, table dressing, and so much more. It can be expressed through movement, a visual presentation for a meeting, a floral arrangement in a way that brings joy to the creator. If we could shift our perception of art and creativity to expression that brings us joy, a sense of curiosity and wonder, then we are free to explore without pressure to produce. Faigie encourages listeners to play, to experiment with things to find what speaks to you. In this episode she helps listeners shift their mindset around art and creativity. This conversation is light hearted and encouraging to anyone who wants to be creative but feels like maybe they are somehow unable. Everyone can create something even if it just brings them joy and no one else ever sees it.
