Reinvention Rebels

Have you felt apprehensive about making that leap into something new as you reinvent yourself?

Ever talk yourself out of it because you're scared of how things might unfold and where you'll land?

I've been there before. In fact, more  times than I'd like to admit. 😉

But every time I muster the courage to take that leap toward something, it always works out.

I'm stronger and braver than I think and SO ARE YOU.

When we "do it scared" - whatever that "it" is for you - we open up a world of possibilities to learn and grow in new and empowering ways.

And don't you agree that doing it scared is better than not doing it at all? 😁

Season 5's theme is simple - Do It Scared and Do It Anyway!

In this episode, I'm breaking down the "Do It Scared" mindset to help move you along your reinvention path. And I'm spilling the beans on my own do it scared gremlins that have held me back in the past (happily, not so much anymore!)

Tune in to learn:

✳️ What it means to "do it scared" (it's not as daunting as you think!)
✳️ Why acknowledging our fears is so important
✳️ Why you need both a compelling "why" AND the ability to do it scared to realize your dreams
✳️ How I've worked through my own do it scared mindset
✳️ Two questions to get you into action as you reinvent yourself

There's lots of inspiration in this short episode to get you thinking about how to do it scared.

And it's a preview of my Do It Scared Toolkit that I'll be sharing in a few weeks!

Ready to take a leap in your reinvention journey and remind yourself that you're braver than you think?

This do it scared reinvention episode is for you!

• Reinventing My 60s: Do It Scared! - How I Launched a Live Podcast and Empower Older Adults to See New Possibilities with Wendy Green

What if it was possible to reinvent yourself in your 60s, 70s or beyond? And what if that reinvention helped you feel confident and empowered?

Wouldn't you want to go for it and navigate your later years with joy, excitement and satisfaction?

Don't you love the idea of finding a tribe of people that "get you" and celebrate all that you are becoming?

The good news: it's completely possible to reinvent yourself in this way!

Yes YOU.

Don't believe me? Ask podcast host Wendy Green. She's done just that and guess what? You can too!

Wendy has reinvented herself in a soul-filling way. She is living on purpose and has found what lights her up. She is truly living her best life.

And she's joyfully helping older adults along their reinvention path too.

As the host of Hey, Boomer, a weekly live show and podcast, this 69-year young Reinvention Rebel is on fire and in the zone!

I love what Wendy shares about:

✅ What inspired her to start a podcast in her late 60s
✅ How a desire to connect with friends to talk about aging grew into a live show on 3 platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube)
✅ Why reinventing herself later in life is more meaningful than earlier reinventions
✅ How she created a can-do spirit of trying new things and conquered her fears (like learning new technology)
✅ Why we're never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream

Wendy's story is inspiring! She shares wisdom to help us navigate later-in-life reinvention. And she helps us see that when we really want to do something, we can feel the fear and do it anyway.

Lean in and listen to this episode and let it help fuel your reinvention dreams and inspire you to action!

Have you ever said YES to someone when you really wanted to say NO? 

It's easy to people please at the expense of our own needs.

But to stand in your power and be clear about what you're willing or not willing to do? 

It's emancipating. And it means we're being true to ourselves.

It also means we're establishing and leveraging our boundaries - powerful guard rails to help keep us on track.

When we get clear about our boundaries and communicate our needs, we can find deeper satisfaction, even joy.

Boundaries can be helpful not just for the  everyday stuff of life but also as we reinvent ourselves.

Others' expectations can lead us astray, but not if we have healthy boundaries!

Barb Nangle, boundaries coach and podcast host, knows a lot about boundaries. At 59, this fierce Reinvention Rebel has used boundaries to reinvent her life in meaningful ways. And she's coaches other to embrace boundaries too. 

I love what she shares about:

✅How she learned how to show up for herself after years of people pleasing 
✅Why learning to love ourselves is so important to setting boundaries 
✅How 12-step programs propelled Barb forward in her reinvention journey and helped her be authentic 
✅Why self-reflection is so important in setting healthy boundaries (we are part of the solution!) 
✅How being "flawsome" (flawed and awesome) helps us navigate life with more ease

and so much more in this conversation!

Our episode is full of insights about how boundaries can help us as we reinvent ourselves and navigate life.

Listen to this encore episode from season 1 of the Reinvention Rebels podcast - Barb was my first guest! So many gems to get you thinking about life, boundaries and reinvention.

Want to navigate the holiday season with more ease and grace and less stress?

It's all about beginning with the end in mind and being intentional this holiday season.

Before we're swept away by all the holiday preparations, take some time for you and make self-care a priority throughout the next several weeks. 

I've spent way too many holiday seasons feeling stressed by unrealistic expectations.

But I believe we can reinvent self-care during the holidays season by establishing healthy boundaries.

I can't wait for you to listen to this episode where I share:

✳️ Why boundaries are so important, especially during the holidays

✳️  Why tuning into how you want to FEEL during and after the holidays is key

✳️  The 3 boundary-setting questions to ask yourself that will increase your self-care and joy factor

✳️  Why both asking and listening are important self-care strategies you should try

✳️  How being open to exploring creative solutions helps ease holiday stress

The truth is, no matter our age, it's never too late to navigate the holiday season with new skills and possibilities.

Have you struggled with stress in the past? That's okay, me too. Let's reimagine how you can take better care of yourself this holiday season in new and empowering ways!

Finding more joy in being together and communicating ahead of time about how we'd like things to unfold helps. Healthy boundaries will help you reinvent the holidays with greater joy and peace.

Let's do this holiday thing in new ways. I'm all in on this mini-reinvention and hope you are too!

How does one reinvent herself in her 60s to blossom and create a life she loves? By cultivating a vibrant and inspiring self-care lifestyle, that's how!

Meet Dr. Sheryl Barnes. At 67, this exuberant Reinvention Rebel has navigated challenges and transformed her life, infusing it with abundant joy and purpose.

Sheryl's latest reinvention started when she heard fellow Reinvention Rebel Sharon Chappelle interviewed on the podcast. (Sharon became a certified yoga instructor in her 60s and reimagined retirement by moving from the US to Spain).

This helped ignite Sheryl's own reinvention journey, completing a certification in holy yoga. But that was just the beginning. She shares deep wisdom about how she's blossomed in her 60s and embraced self-care as a lifestyle (not just a trip to the spa) in multiple ways.

I love what Sheryl shares about:

✅ Why creating a self-care lifestyle is so important
✅ How we can be more intentional in our lives
✅ Why we have to prioritize ourselves to help others
✅ How we can find micro-joy in the midst of challenges
✅ Why multitasking works against us and our well being

And so much insightful wisdom!

You know what else is cool? Sheryl's reinvention extends beyond herself - she is helping other women to blossom too, in the most joyful ways. 

Self-care is truly self-love. If you're ready for a dose of inspiration to help you see new possibilities for your life you will love this episode!

Have you ever noticed that you have all the answers you need?

Yes YOU!

It's a fact that they're not always obvious but you are infinitely wise and the answers you seek are within.

You just need to figure out how to tease them out and bring them into existence.

How to lean in and listen to that wisdom that's bubbling up.

Put another way, reinventing ourselves starts within.

When we get more quiet and lean into the wisdom that's waiting to come out, we can manifest our dreams in the coolest (and sometimes surprising of ways)!

I can't wait for you to listen to this solo episode where I share:

✳️ How our materialistic world makes it easy to focus on the external
✳️ Why it's so important to look within for the answers we seek
✳️ How we can learn to get quiet to jump start the reinvention process
✳️ What happened  when I listened to my inner wisdom to guide me
✳️ 3 ingredients to help you ignite your reinvention journey

Are you ready to unleash your inner wisdom and move forward in new ways?

Whether you're new to looking within or a pro, this episode will help you accelerate your reinvention journey. And maybe even carve out a new, yet uncovered path!

Looking from within to reinvent yourself makes all the difference. - it's truly an inside job.

Reinventing ourselves after a divorce is no easy task.

In fact, breaking apart our life may be one of the hardest things we can experience.

It may mean we come to our reinvention journey reluctantly and not ready to face things.

It typically requires shining a light on ourselves and delving into those hard-to-uncover places to make forward progress.

No easy task yet full of possibilities when we do.

Such is the journey of Nina Blaicher. Her reinvention after a difficult divorce is deeply impactful and inspiring. A must-listen if you're dealing with a divorce, or any life-changing event.

She helps us see there's a way through and out that can leave us feeling happier and more fulfilled on the other side.

I love what Nina shares about:

✅ Why you have to tear everything down and ask yourself compelling questions to begin anew
✅ How she used her divorce as an opportunity for self-discovery and exploration
✅ How she showered herself with self-love during and after her divorce
✅ How she started the See the Upside podcast
✅ Why being willing to fail gets us one step closer to our dreams
✅ Why we need to learn to trust the unknown

Her openness and vulnerability remind me that we all can do hard things and grow from the experience, even when incredibly difficult.

No matter where you are on your reinvention path, Lean in and listen to this amazing episode and then share it with a friend!

What happens when you lean into more gratitude in your life?

I believe it's a powerful tool that can propel our lives forward in new ways in our reinvention journey.

For one, it builds our appreciation for the little things and helps up find joy (even in challenging situations).

I like to practice gratitude all year long. But it's hard not to focus on it as we near the end of year.

Thanksgiving is all about being thankful, having gratitude and appreciating what we have in our lives.

I'm leaning in hard this year, thankful for so many things in my life. You too?

I can't wait for you to listen to this solo episode where I share:

✳️ Why gratitude is so important
✳️ What I'm most grateful for this season
✳️ Why having gratitude for our challenges is empowering
✳️ How we can offer ourselves gratitude and grace on our reinvention journey
✳️ 3 questions to help you tap into more gratitude in your life

If you're celebrating Thanksgiving, here's to a joyful weekend with time spent with those you love.

And here's to endless joy for all of us as we welcome in the holiday season.

Enjoy this episode and let's all celebrate our gratitude!

P.S. Did you check out last week's episode with the amazing Wendy Hutchinson? I love how she stopped people pleasing and kicked her perfectionist tendencies to the curb to find her authentic self. If you're a midlife woman trying to figure it out and find more joy, this is a must-listen episode!
