Reinvention Rebels

Who are the women that inspire and encourage you to be your best self?

To see new possibilities where perhaps you didn’t know they existed?

To push you forward when you’re not ready to do it yourself, but always with love?

Each of the amazing women featured in this episode graced me with their presence in the Reinvention Rebels guest chair for season 1 of the podcast. 

They are my personal sheros – each touching my life in meaningful and powerful ways.

They are Reinvention Rebels.

Unapologetic women 50 to 90 years young.

Fierce women.
Fabulous women.
Badass women.

Women who have reimagined their lives in vibrant, I’m-going-for-it ways.

Women who have awakened to their truest selves, trusting their inner wisdom to guide them.

Women who are self-empowered and Not. Holding. Back.

Women who recognize their fears and use them as fuel to propel themselves forward.

I’m honored to share their stories and be in conversation with them. 

Plus it was just... 

So. Much. Fun.

People, we need more joy in our lives!!!

I created a special bonus episode to share Season 1 highlights while I’m on a mini-hiatus working on season 2.

I love their:

Grace.
Heart.
Genius.
Humor.
Fortitude.
Energy.
Wisdom.
Courage.
Joy.
Boldness.

They spill the beans.

They share their ups and downs.

Their challenges and victories.

How listening and trusting themselves and taking risks led to a deep sense of accomplishment, satisfaction and joy. 

And how finding their sweet spot as they age has led to all sorts of fabulous freedom!.

They show us that anything is possible at any age when we create a Reinvention Rebel mindset.

Check out the season 1 highlights featuring these extraordinary women. And then go listen to their full episodes!

Cheer them on and get inspired.

If they can do it, so can you. 
So can we all.

I love what Babz shares about:

Reflect. Reimagine. Restart. 

That's my secret sauce for becoming a Reinvention Rebel.

Reinvention Rebels are unapologetic women, 50 to 90 years young, who have boldly reimagined their lives to find new purpose and possibilities.

Fierce women. Fabulous women. Inspiring women.

Women charting a new course, no matter their age in cool, kickass ways. 

The kind of women that will help you see that it's possible to reimagine your own life. 

They remind us that if they can do it, so can we. 

********

In this episode I spill the beans on the third of my three Rs - Restarting.

(Check out past episodes to learn about the power of Reflecting  (Self-Reflection and Silence: How I Uncovered My Purpose at 54) and Reimagining (Ditch the Shoulds - How to Embrace Your Deepest Desires in 2021)

It's great to gain clarity and think big about your dreams and desires. 

But those dreams of yours aren't going to materialize by themselves after all.

There comes a time when you need to push the Play button on your dreams and get into action!

What is it you need to think and do to get on the road to achieving your reimagined life? 

I'm sharing about my own Restart roadmap and how I pushed Play. This is the final step in how I became a Reinvention Rebel.

In this episode I share:

• my own "Restart" journey and important lessons I've learned along the way
• how I've adapted and evolved to stay focused on my dreams
• why making space for my big dream was key to making it happen
• how I learned to ask for help instead of doing it all myself
• how asking for help led to increased clarity,  creativity and ease
• why offering yourself grace is so important
• and much more!

Take a listen and get inspired about your own reinvention. No matter your age, you can become a Reinvention Rebel.

Start shining your bright, beautiful light. The world needs you and all you have to offer!

"Shoulds" are soul-crushing. 

Unmotivating. 

Less than fun.

I don't want to start off the year with what I SHOULD do.

Nope, not one bit. 

I want to kick off 2021 with what I WANT to do.

You know, juicy stuff. Fun stuff. 

Help add value and make the world a better place stuff.

Let's kick those shoulds to the curb and embrace our deepest desires!

Those things that light us up and inspire us into action.

Reimagining 2021 is about thinking BIG and going for it.

If we've learned anything from 2020, it's that seizing the moment is everything!

In this episode, I share:

• how I achieved my 2020 goals despite the pandemic and other challenges
• how losing in one area of my life propelled me forward in another 
• why New Year's resolutions set you up to fail
• how to unapologetically reimagine your life in 2021 and tune into your deepest desires!
• my 5-step process to embrace life in inspiring ways
• How I get unstuck to overcome challenges that inevitably find us

Ready for a dose of motivation to move you in the direction of 2021 badassery and fulfillment?

Ready to become "rebelicious" with fabulous reinvention goals?

Ready to unapologetically go for it and make them happen?

Reinvention Rebels, you won't want to miss this episode!

One of the coolest things about life is that we can reinvent ourselves as many times as we like!

And such is the case for my guest Denise Keyes Page. 

Denise operates from a simple core belief: women benefit society as a whole. Healthy women foster healthy children and families, that in turn, support healthy communities. She’s been a community activist in the New Haven Public Schools, a national and local trainer for the Anti-Defamation League, and founded DreamCatchers, LLC, a training and consulting firm.

As a 68-year young Reinvention Rebel, Denise continues to find ways to reinvent herself and add value for others. 

She created the Fired Up – Flourish with Grace curriculum, holds retreats for older women, and helps women find community.

She also has a love for telling stories. You can find her sharing her fascinating tales in numerous virtual venues. Most recently she launched Ubuntu Storytellers which features storytellers of color sharing compelling and captivating stories of life in their black and brown skin. 

In this episode, I really love what Denise shared about:

• what it means to reinvent yourself and thrive in your 60s
• why this is the best, most empowering time in her life
• the importance of getting still and listening to your inner voice to guide you
• the satisfaction of being of service to others 
• how women can create community and connection as we age
• rewiring our brains to create a "tell yourself you can" mindset

This thriving Reinvention Rebel is engaging, inspiring, and full of wisdom!

I think you'll see a part of yourself in her story.

Who am I? What am I here for?

These are the compelling questions my guest, Millie Grenough, has considered over her 80 plus years.

They have helped her to:

• chart the course of her life and go from a nun to a nightclub singer!
• transform her life after a near-death bike accident, in service to herself and others
• enjoy a thriving life in her 80s, feeling more alive and present than in her 40s

At 82-years young, Millie has a thirst for life that’s downright contagious.

This age-defying Reinvention Rebel lives an adventurous, engaged, and energized life. 

Among her many roles, she’s a coach, mentor, author, and motivational speaker.  She’s a professional singer and guitarist. She's a proud grandma to six.

She's also the author of OASIS in the Overwhelm: 60-second Strategies for Balance in a Busy World. Her book has helped thousands of people around the world live with more calm, clarity, and happiness. 

Along the way, Millie has reinvented herself many times over.

In this episode, you'll learn how Millie:

• Used solitude and self-reflection to reimagine her life
• Tuned into the two key questions: Who am I? Why am I here?
• Transitioned from  a nun to a nightclub singer
• Started the Oasis movement, helping people around the world feel calmer
• Created a mindset of vibrancy and possibility as she's aged (you can find her periodically jogging around her neighborhood)
• Continues to connect, innovate, and spread joy with reckless abandon!

Her energy and zest for life can't help but leave you wondering how you can get some of what she has and age vibrantly too!

This episode is about my life-long journey to find clarity and a deeper purpose. 

Some people quickly find their purpose. 

Their calling. 

What makes them shine.

Not me.  

It took what felt like forever. 

Things had to evolve. 

Sure, I was good at certain things. 

But I never felt like I had found that holy grail, my true purpose.

For some of us, finding our true purpose can take time.

A long time.

54 years of time, to be exact, in my case.

But it was totally worth the wait. 

The key: powerful self-reflection gained through a years-long personal development journey.

In this episode you will learn how reflection helped me:

• get to know me like never before
• slow my roll and spend less time being busy
• create the space for self-discovery
• get quiet and listen to my inner wisdom
• reveal what I came here to do

And all that led to this -- Reinvention Rebels.

Amazing women, 50 to 90 years young who live on purpose.

And unapologetically fulfill their juiciest dreams and deepest desires.

It reminds me that we can reveal our purpose at any age. 

Who cares how old we are, let's just DO IT. 

Whatever that IT is.

NOW.

What if your 50s brought clarity about your true purpose?

What if you stopped asking for permission and started embracing your new path?

And what if that new path led to empowering yourself and other women through travel?  

Meet 57-year young Erica Bradley.

This joyful, kind, and inspiring Reinvention Rebel thrives on unapologetically lifting other women up. She traded in her corporate sales career for the opportunity to create engaging, memorable, and sometimes life-changing travel experiences.

Take a listen and learn: 

·         How her journey of self-discovery led her to her true passion – travel

·         What it means to pursue your authentic path (and ignore others’ expectations)

·         How we can empower ourselves by empowering others

And. So. Much. More.

I love the wisdom she shares, so many wonderful insights!
