  • Take Control of your Finances

    Up until only 1974, banks in the U.S. required single, divorced or widowed women to bring a man along to cosign any credit application! Money management was usually seen a man's domain.  Since then, women have been proving that they can be expert money managers.

    If you've always delegated the finances to your partner, consider taking control of your destiny.

    Russ Thornton is a retirement advisor helping women plan for a comfortable future. He works with divorced or widowed women who find themselves in unchartered financial territory.

    Grab a coffee and learn some valuable tips on managing YOUR finances, setting yourself up to live a fulfilling, comfortable life.

  • 6 Essential Keys to Fulfillment

    Life is a journey and part of that experience is exploring what makes you happy - and what doesn't. Sometimes a lack of reflection on these experiences leads to stumbling along, taking a very long and winding road towards fulfillment and prosperity when a shorter route was available.

    Will Schirmer's new book offers skills, resources and techniques to help you find happiness in your life.  We talked about these 6 essential keys:

    1. Your Character
    2. Emotional Intelligence
    3. Resilience and Stress Management
    4. Managing Relationships
    5. Self-development
    6. Managing Outcomes

  • Everyone Has a Story Worth Telling

    The road to becoming an author begins when you realize that a story in your life demands to be told.  At first glance, writing a memoir looks easy enough. Easier than writing fiction. After all, there is no need to make up a story or characters, and the protagonist is none other than you. Still, memoir writing carries challenges and possibilities, and the first one is to decide to begin. Let’s dive into how Jill Phillips got started on her path to her first published book.

    Jill became a first-time author in retirement because she wanted to capture and record her family's stories before they were lost forever. Memories are precious and carry wisdom that can benefit others by broadening their perspective. My conversation with Jill about her self-publishing journey gives you insight into what she learned and tools she used that can help you to start telling your own story. She delivers her advice while sharing some of her own memoirs from her first book 'Lamlash Street.'

    Listen to the end as I share 8 SIMPLE STEPS   to publishing your first book.
