When you think about sports icons, any one of the greats, our minds can go from Babe Ruth to John McEnroe to Serena Williams. Commanding, confident and quite frankly, superior in their element.

It took decades of specific practice and dedication in order to develop into the powerhouses they are. Why are we talking about the Michael Jordon’s of the world?
 
Because, we, as women who have so much on our plates, expect ourselves to be the Elite Athletes of everything we do and we give ourselves no wiggle room for error.

It isn’t realistic and in this episode, we’re breaking down the 7 stages of becoming an Elite Athlete and applying it to your own talent development.

In this episode we’re talking about the seven levels of becoming an elite athlete 

• #1. Active Start: This is your introduction to the work. 
• #2. Fundamentals: These are the basic skills to do the work. 
• #3. Learn to Train: Your starting to invest more time and maybe even money on outside support to learn more and get better. 
• #4. Train to Train: Now you start to benchmark, define your milestones and figure out how to get to them 
• #5. Train to Compete: Deep focus in your skill and ability to be competitive in the overall marketplace 
• #6. Train to Win: You start to move away from the pack and stand out as leader in your field 
• #7. Active for Life: You’ve hit the goal and your know for it, it’s part of your life achievements. You may decide to leverage this experience into something else.

I think I have adult ADHD. I can’t remember half the stuff I need to anymore. My concentration is absolutely gone. I’m easily distracted. I feel like I’m in a fog.

Do any of these sound familiar? Heck, I have said this myself. I thought I may have developed ADHD in adulthood so I started investigating and this science geek dove deeply into the reality of aging, its impact on the brain and how the heck to focus when all you want to do is chase the squirrel. 

Let’s dive in.

In this episode we’re talking about how…

• As we get older our memory and focus is not what it used to be 
• The demands on us at midlife hurt our ability to concentrate, aging parents, kids, college admissions,  economy, etc.
• Our brain changes as we get older and we need to learn how to release how we were and accept where we are today 
• The distraction of technology have hurt us all - how to stop adding to the inability to focus
• You're not crazy, menopause is impacting our cognitive ability. Estrogen is a master regulator in women's bodies and it affects everything from sleep, to focus, the brain fog, to physical change.  
• Midlife ADHD  - do I have it, was I never diagnosed or am I aging?

You look great for your age. I didn’t think you were a day over 40. You’re too experienced. I think we need someone with more tech experience. Good for you for starting a business at your age. Do you still play basketball? I can’t believe how fabulous your skin looks, what do you use?

These statements may seem like innocent comments but they are contributing to the negativity associated with aging. 

This episode was ignited by Crunchy Tales recent article, Disrupting Daily Ageism. We know for perceptions to change, there need to be more voices. This is ours.

We're not just Gen X we're GEN neXt

Here comes midlife. We’ve anticipated it, heard about it and even remember being young and snickering when your middle-aged neighbor bought that bright red Corvette because that was the midlife crisis car of the 80s.

I remember at that age believing a midlife crisis was something that happened to men who were trying to hold onto their youth.

Midlife for women looks different. It can feel exhausting, overwhelming or we can feel downright trapped in our careers, businesses, relationships or life.

Trapped is a heavy work and we think it’s appropriate after working with so many women. This week, we’re talking about feeling trapped and how to pick the lock to freedom.

Are you a Modern Gen X Woman? Get the Modern Gen X Woman Manifesto.
Send Me the Manifesto! 

In this episode, we’re talking about…

• Spending time digging into WHY you feel trapped and even more telling, do you feel like you deserve to be freed?
• What it’s costing you to stay trapped and when the pain of staying outweighs the fear of going you will make a change 
• How to redefine success
• Explore the possibilities to give you a little wiggle room to untie the knot 
• Draft a plan and take small actions 
• Why how you talk about your current situation really makes a difference

We know we’re all still works in progress but how many of us thought we had it all figured out when we were in our 20’s? Our professional lives were just getting started, we had dreams, goals and a plan. 

Here we are, almost 30 years later… with some older and wiser perspectives. 

In this week’s episode, we’re sharing the 10 things we wish we DID known in our 20s and many we’re still working on. 

This podcast is all about helping women redefine what it means to be over 40. Our 40s and our 50s are our prime and when we get to midlife, we are just starting to see our growth potential. It isn't downhill, it's momentum.

Bitchy, Bossy, Bold believe me, the labels thrown upon women don’t all start with B but each of them aren’t flattering and do more to diminish women than to bolster women.

These labels aren’t acceptable in this episode we’re talking about what we need to do right now to change the language describing women.

Leadership, it’s a big word. Many of us strive to have big leadership positions. 

In the corporate world, this could mean running a team, running a division or even running a project. Being put in a position where you can use forward-thinking, strategy, motivation, inspiration, implementation and efficiency to get the job done.

As entrepreneurs or even solopreneurs, this could mean getting out of the day-to-day, being a visionary for where you are taking your businesses and proactively building to move towards those goals.

As women, we need to be leaders every single day in order to keep it all in order.

If you are ready to fast-track your path towards leadership, this is the episode for you.

In this week’s episode, we’re introducing you to HALT, the acronym that can help you support your mental health.

These days it seems like we have much more awareness of the things that set us off and that’s a good thing. However, having the resources to release the hold a trigger has on us is an entirely different ball of wax and unfortunately, eliminating the emotional charge of triggers can take years or decades of work. 

In this episode, we’re going to break down what triggers are, discuss ways we can release the hold they have on us and share some of the things that trigger us too.
