Mind Your Midlife | Women Over 40, Menopause, Self Care, Mindset, Empty Nest, Aging Parents, Healthy Habits, Self-Talk

When you get dressed in the morning, do you think about how you are presenting yourself throughout the day? Are you happy with what you see?

Cyndy Porter of Success Thru Style joins me today to help us figure out what a personal brand it and how to create that with style choices.  

You'll hear us talk about choosing five adjectives to describe how you'd like to come across to the world - and then how to put that in practice with your clothing and accessories choices.  I found this to be such a fun discussion!

We're building on what Amanda and I talked about in episode 12, so grab that link to listen again: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-zsuc5-1451259 

Cyndy is offering a FREE Personal Style Handbook: download it here. And make sure you've joined my email list (www.omgteachme.com) so that you hear about her upcoming webinar and course as well.

If you are picking up a sport or activity for fun... for relaxation... for moving your body, and you don't necessarily want to compete at a high level, are you able to also avoid being overly pessimistic and negative when the game doesn't go so well?

I catch myself regularly being WAY too hard on myself when just playing a friendly game - and in today's episode I'm talking about golf and pickleball, for example.

What we speak about and expect is what our brains look for.  So, if you are expecting not to be very good at something, your brain is going to be hard at work making sure to find you evidence that that's true!

Probably that's not what you'd ideally like to happen...

Let's talk about it.

I would love to hear from you!  Have you noticed this tendency in yourself? Have a question? Have some sports psychology input? Leave me a voice note at bit.ly/omgspeaktome. 

Come have a look at the free beta community that is going to become Courage Club in the new year: bit.ly/leadingladyenergy.  We'd love to have you!

Do you wake up ready to enjoy the day or do you wake up with dread and worry?

We all have some bad days, but if your thought habit is to immediately spiral into worry thoughts as soon as you open your eyes, this habit will affect your energy, you mood, your personal interactions, and even your health over time.

The good news? You can change your morning attitude habit.

This week I'm walking you through a very simple morning routine that will shift your mindset to be open and ready for a good day.

1. Decide

2. Recognize

3. Statement

4. Add gratitude

Want to take it even further?

Find The Miracle Morning book at www.omgteachme.com/read. 

I would love to hear what kind of morning routine is working for you! Tell me via a voice memo at https://bit.ly/omgspeaktome.

Do you struggle with how to trust your instincts? I have a treat for you today - listener feedback!  Jill from the US shared that she often struggles between trusting her gut and listening to her intuition versus being empathetic and looking at things from another perspective.

Check out the Take Five episode two weeks ago on empathy that she is responding to.

I'm a reality competition show fan, so I threw in an observation from The Bachelorette as well.  :) If you are struggling between trusting your intuition in decision-making and being "nice" because we should, let intuition win every time.

Tell us what you think about this episode or any others!  Can't wait to hear from you at www.bity.ly/omgspeaktome. 

And make sure to catch episode 76 on intuition with Cristiana:

In this episode of OMG Teach Me, we dive deep into the emotional and psychological effects of perimenopause and menopause with expert Bev Kemp, a certified menopause doula and coach.

Bev shares her personal journey through severe menopausal transitions and offers practical advice on how to navigate mood swings, anxiety, depression, and even rage that many women experience.

We explore holistic solutions—from exercise and nutrition to mindset shifts and support systems—that can help women not only survive but thrive during this phase of life. If you're in your 40s or 50s and facing perimenopausal symptoms, this episode is a must-listen for finding empowerment and redefining yourself.

And you'll hear me absolutely hang my jaw open about one simple tip that Bev gives us for reminding ourselves that everything was ok and can be ok again.  Try it.

We all want to sleep through the night, or even fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, or even be able to get back to sleep easily when we wake up, right?

Cherie Tripp joined me for episode 22 of OMG Teach Me (listen here) and gave some great tips for sleep hygiene and healthy sleep.  After that episode, questions came up about hunger at night.  What should we do if we wake up hungry?

Well, there's an easy answer: hydrate.

Listen in for a listener's story as she tried (and then stopped trying) better hydration during the day to help her sleep at night.

Make sure you follow some of the habits before bed that I'm sharing today as well!

In this episode of OMG Teach Me, host Cheryl Fischer sits down with energy healer Donna Wallace, who has over 25 years of experience in energy healing and Reiki.

You've enjoyed OMG Teach Me episodes about EFT Tapping, intuition, affirmations and more. Along the way you've asked me about Reiki and energy healing - so let's learn!

We're talking about what Reiki is all about, how it helps clear emotional blocks, and why energy healing is more than just a buzzword. Donna explains how energy impacts our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and guides us through a powerful visualization at the end that helped me feel more relaxed and energized at the same time.

Whether you're curious about energy healing, intuition, or simply want to feel lighter and more grounded, this episode is packed with insights and practices to bring more balance and healing into your life.

What do you think about what we learned today?  Share your feedback or questions with me at https://bit.ly/omgspeaktome and I may share your message on a future episode!

In this episode, we explore the power of perspective and how our experiences, beliefs, and personalities shape how we see the world. Learn why a change of perspective can transform relationships, improve communication, and help us realize that we often don’t know the full story—whether on social media, at work, or in personal life.

Whether you have challenging relationships in your professional life or person life, or you simply want to be a better communicator and have more empathy, let's talk about the power of perspective to do exactly that.

Does it seem as if friends are jealous of your success?  Are you jealous of others' success? Does it all seem like a big competition?

Do you self-sabotage because you don't want to make someone feel bad? (Maybe...?)

Let's talk about the fact that one person's success does not take away from anyone else. If you have a lit candle, and you light others' candles, now there is more light.

Our goal: stay out of the comparison and competition traps.  I hope this reminder helps!
