No matter what anyone believes ALL of our stories are important! We all have a story to tell and every story is one of value. 

As I move through transition and transformation, I become more compelled by my story. I actually am enjoying the storyline with its mystery and intrigue, love and intimacy, and even the plot twists. Weird right? Or maybe, just what it's supposed to be! I am learning and exploring that changing the narrative of my future means changing my understanding of my narrative of my past! 

There is this radically ridiculous sentiment that our "womanhood" is marked and to be celebrated by the onset of menstruation. I call BS! Because as I go through perimenopause, divorce, empty nesting, entrepreneurship and the evolution of my career, I am perhaps in the most brilliant season of my womanhood. Let's talk about that!

This is a happy episode! After some interesting situations over the past couple of weeks, this week ended with a look at my life through the eyes of some of my closest family and friends. Can I just say that everyone, EVERYONE, at least once in their lifetime needs to have a "Taking Stock" session. Take a listen for the details.

After a rough week, I finally emerged on the side of life.

India Arie sang so passionately, "I Am Not My Hair" and I belted out every word right along with her with full belief, authority, agency and autonomy. My hair certainly cannot holistically define me but it has been one of my many ways of expressing my creativity, beauty, positivity and strength as well as my trauma, pain, hurts and burdens. I am not my hair, but my hair is an expression of who I am.

Part of the human experience is that we step into different titles, wear multiple hats and carry varying responsibilities. I guess it's important to also question sometimes who we are apart from all of the titles, hats and responsibilities. If I am single, where and how would I mingle?

A lot of life is spent in auto-pilot mode. This is not good or bad, but more so done out of convenience, complacency, or routine. Perhaps it's simply a "setting" that gives us a way to manage life, and give our brains some downtime, so we can make it through today, this week, this month, this year, this lifetime.

Nonetheless, there are moments when we must take responsibility for the "transmission" of our lives and begin to shift gears!

Welcome to my cathartic healing journey. Talking it out as I’m walking it through!

This podcast is about my journey of starting over...literally in real time walking through my current life experiences to share all of laughs, advice, wisdom, hardships and challenges with women over 40 who may also find themselves here...Having lost a few things along the way so feeling like we have nothing when we actually have everything we need. We are not starting from scratch, we are beginning again with experience!
