Kamesha and Denise, cohosts of the Wisdom in Bloom podcast join me on this episode of Finding Fifty!

We speak about their personal 'whys' for starting WIB and the messages each feel are so important to share with other women who are living, loving, and rediscovering their purpose as they move into their 'next'... this new time of their lives.

Denise and Kamesha share a special bond that spans over 15 years of friendship, empowerment, and growth. As former colleagues and prior members of various empowerment communities, they have always uplifted one another. Now, through their podcast, they are bringing decades ofknowledge, life experiences, and passion for helping others to a broader audience. An amazing community of women blooming into their best selves!

The Wisdom in Bloom Podcast is available on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Podcasts.

You can also find these amazing women on Instagram ⁠@wisdom_in_bloom⁠, as well as Facebook, TikTok and at their website, ⁠wisdominbloom.net⁠.

Their latest offering, the As You Bloom journal, is a way to encourage women to think about their lives--a beautifully designed space dedicated to helping women embrace intentional, purposeful reflection, positivity, and gratitude.

Welcome, Maz O’Connor!

Maz is an incredible example of a woman who has been consciously moving through the experiences of life, growing -- whether through storms or sun -- and creating a life in alignment with her passions and wants. She is a truly shining example of this experience toward living our best lives and teaches that 'when we put ourselves first, we have more for others.'

With a new book coming out as well as the upcoming launch of her global beauty and wellness company -- Maz is the living example of 50-something reinvention.

In addition, she hosts a weekly radio show and podcast called YOU FIRST with Maz O'Connor, which, as Maz says, is all about 'fitting your own oxygen mask before anyone else’s.' 

Maz also organizes an annual Wellness Week in Australia, has a yoga studio and an ⁠Airbnb called Somers Shala⁠!

I’m so excited to share Maz O’Connor with you all on this episode of Finding Fifty! I know it will resonate so deeply with you, as it did for me...
