Growing up in the beautiful artistic city of Kilkenny in Southern Ireland, it was no surprise that Liselott became an artist herself. She took a degree in ceramic’s and has been making beautiful pieces ever since. She became a mother at the tender age of 19 and a grandmother at only 41! In 2020 she suffered a ruptured disc in her back causing very severe back pain but as you listen to Liselott tell her story, you will discover someone of great strength of character & determination. Unsurprisingly, in the midst of that very painful journey, she even managed to find the silver lining in that cloud. She is also a committed vegan & animal rights activist. Liselott has lived a lot of life for someone still only in her mid forties. Enjoy!

Gristle is about that moment you've had enough - enough of someone else narrating your story, enough of being polite so as not to offend, enough of not telling your truth. It's about going the journey of biting down deep into that truth, the pain and ugliness of it, the bits that get stuck in your teeth, the gristle of your story and maybe in that way, starting to let go.

Nicole does a read through of her 12 minute spoken word piece inspired by attitudes toward women without children, the presumptions of others and that particular day when you've had enough!

We had a wonderful conversation with her and our live audience afterward. Enjoy!

Sheila hails from Tuam in Co Galway in Ireland but moved to Boston in the States for a job when she was just 22yrs old thinking she’d  be back in Ireland within a couple of years.  That was not her destiny .... she soon met her husband-to-be, got married, had two children and when they were born so too was Sheila’s entrepreneurial Spirit. Driven by not wanting to put her children in day care while working in a job that would eat into precious family time, she started her first business. Since then she has had a string of successes. And by midlife, with her children grown into young adults, she revisited some aspects of her life such as her health & fitness and other new directions. Sheila is someone who seems to face risk and challenge and new things with a certain steadfastness & ease. Enjoy her genial nature in this conversation!

Maura set up a bespoke business Seamless Moves to help elderly people.  Seamless Moves are there to support the elderly with options to downsize, age in place, find the most suitable nursing home and organise their affairs.

Maura worked in Banking / accounting for years until she took 10 years at home to raise the kids. Maura missed working life and the purpose it gave but knew she didn’t want to get back into the corporate world. Maura felt the best opportunity to get the work life balance was to start something herself although the prospect was a bit daunting. She Stumbled upon an idea when supporting an elderly neighbour who had no family but had to after a fall move into a nursing home and sell up the family home. The concept of seamless moves was born. Couple of twists and turns to get it up and running but only probably happened because a friend suggested she would collaborate with her.  www.Seamlessmoves.ie

Martha grew up in New Jersey in a suburb of New York City, the eldest of six girls in a Catholic family. For many years she says she was a talker but not a communicator – anxiety made her talk a lot .... ‘children should be seen and not heard’ is something she heard very often growing up in her household. And whilst she was an exuberant, energetic and life loving individual, life experience began to chip away at her edges until at one point, when her children were still very young, she literally lost her voice. She takes us through the journey of how she found her voice again around about midlife and how in turn she now helps others find theirs again too.

Sam had a two-fold story to share with Lady Time, in his early forties he had a yearning to find out more about his ancestral roots as a British-born Canadian of Indian descent ‘before the thread would be lost forever in the fabric of India’ as he so eloquently put it. Then a few shorts years later he had a pivotal decision to make in his life – stay in his very comfortable pensionable corporate job or leave and jump into the unknown? He chose the latter.

In our conversation he discusses how he navigated that decision when he found himself standing on a precipice with comfort behind him and uncertainty waiting over the edge. Both stories intertwine in a way, where Sam first found a sense of belonging and discovered more of who he was and later realised that the corporate world was no longer a good fit.

Sam authored a book called 'Lost and Found: Seeking the Past and Finding Myself' about the journey seeking his roots.

He also offers affordable coaching for those starting out or rethinking their career.
