SHE2.0

What happens when the business you built stays young, but you don't?

For many women entrepreneurs, success creates an unexpected challenge. The audience, brand, and identity that helped build the business may stay exactly where they are while your own life continues to evolve.

In this episode, Jacquie sits down with Julie Cole, co-founder of Mabel's Labels, to discuss aging, entrepreneurship, leadership, and what it means to remain relevant as both a founder and a woman in midlife.

Together they explore:

• How entrepreneurship changes as you move through different stages of life

• The identity shifts many women experience in midlife

• Staying connected to your audience when your personal life has evolved

• Leadership, reinvention, and building a business that can grow beyond you

• The realities of aging in industries that often celebrate youth

• Why experience may be a greater competitive advantage than we realize

Julie shares honest insights about growing older while leading a brand associated with young families, navigating personal and professional transitions, and redefining success in midlife.

Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, executive, or simply questioning what's next, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on reinvention, relevance, and the opportunities that come with experience.

What if aging wasn't something to fear, but one of society's greatest untapped advantages?

In this episode, Jacquie sits down with Zoe Share and Amy Altwerger, co-founders of Rosie's Roadshow, to discuss aging, ageism, workplace culture, and why age diversity may be one of the biggest opportunities facing organizations today.

While many conversations focus on the challenges of getting older, Zoe and Amy are working to change the narrative. Through their work, they help organizations recognize the value of experience, wisdom, and intergenerational collaboration in an increasingly age-diverse workforce.

Together we explore:

• Why ageism remains one of the most overlooked forms of bias

• The business case for age diversity in the workplace

• How organizations can better support employees across every stage of life

• Leadership lessons that come with experience

• Why the aging economy represents a major opportunity for innovation

• How changing the way we think about aging benefits everyone

This conversation challenges outdated assumptions about growing older and offers a fresh perspective on the role age, experience, and wisdom play in building stronger workplaces, communities, and careers.

If you've ever wondered how we can create a culture that values people at every age, this episode is for you.

Psychedelic therapy is generating growing interest, but what does the process actually involve?

In this episode, Jacquie sits down with psychedelic integration coach Oni to explore the emerging world of psychedelic-assisted therapy and why more women are becoming curious about its potential role in mental health, personal growth, and healing.

This conversation goes beyond the headlines to discuss what psychedelic therapy is, what it isn't, and why integration may be just as important as the experience itself.

Together we explore:

• What psychedelic-assisted therapy actually involves

• The difference between a psychedelic experience and therapeutic integration

• Why women may seek psychedelic therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or life transitions

• The importance of safety, preparation, and professional support

• Ethical considerations and common misconceptions

• What the current research is telling us about psychedelic therapies

Oni shares her perspective as a psychedelic integration coach and discusses the questions women should ask when considering this type of therapeutic approach.

Whether you're curious, skeptical, or simply looking to understand the conversation around psychedelic therapy, this episode offers a thoughtful and balanced introduction to an evolving area of mental health care.

Today's episode is starring me, Jacquie Court. I have shared so many stories from experts and amazing women but I've never really shared my own. In fact, my story is the reason I started She2.0 because I didn't want anyone else to suffer.

From our first period to our last, we need support, education and resources. However, that was not my experience - during my period, pregnancies or menopause. Today I'm sharing a few things I learned along my journey and I'm busting a few myths I'm tired of women hearing.

Tune in!

Have you ever left a doctor's appointment feeling unheard, dismissed, or told that your symptoms were "just stress," "just aging," or "all in your head"?

Unfortunately, many women have.

In this episode, Jacquie sits down with Kristen Parker to discuss what happened when she knew something was wrong, but struggled to get the answers and care she needed.

Kristen's story shines a light on a reality many women face: having symptoms minimized, concerns overlooked, and being forced to advocate for themselves within the healthcare system.

Together we discuss:

• Why women are often dismissed when reporting symptoms

• The impact of medical gaslighting and healthcare bias

• How to advocate for yourself when you know something isn't right

• The importance of second opinions and asking better questions

• What persistence can achieve when your health is on the line

• Practical lessons every woman should know before her next medical appointment

This is not just Kristen's story. It is a conversation about self advocacy, trusting your instincts, and navigating a healthcare system that does not always listen the first time.

If you've ever been told you're overreacting, imagining things, or "just getting older," this episode will feel familiar.

Welcome to the first episode of our Girl With A Pearl series.

After years of speaking with doctors, researchers, authors, and experts, we wanted to shift the focus. This series is about the lived experience of midlife. The women navigating it in real time. The lessons they've learned. The wisdom they've earned.

Our first guest is bestselling author, speaker, and broadcaster Kathy Buckworth.

Known for her honest, relatable approach to family life and aging, Kathy joins us for a conversation about what midlife really looks like when the script you were following starts to change.

Together we explore:

• The realities of aging in a culture obsessed with youth

• How identity shifts in midlife

• What happens when your priorities change

• Navigating career, family, relationships, and personal growth in a new season of life

• The wisdom that comes from experience and why women should stop apologizing for it

• What Kathy wishes she had known earlier about getting older

This conversation is thoughtful, funny, practical, and refreshingly honest.

If you're navigating change, questioning what's next, or discovering that midlife looks very different than you expected, you'll find plenty to relate to here.

Because the goal isn't to stay young.

It's to get older with purpose, perspective, and confidence.

Brandi Mitchell is the Founder of San Diego Soccer Women in California. Her goal is to connect and expand the global community of age 30 and older recreational female soccer players of every ability level. At age 47 has traveled the world joining in both standard and walking soccer tournaments for ages 40 and older, as well as organizing international "Soccer Women" trips.

I love that her number one goal is to increase opportunities for older women, mainly ages 30 to over 70, to join, continue or return to recreational soccer. Brandi just wants women to kick down the imagined boundaries of age and gender and I'm behind her all the way!

Brandi and I have a chat that could have gone on for days! Luckily, I was able to edit it an episode though. You're welcome. In this episode, we're talking about how physical, mental, economic and emotional health of women as we age relies on positive relationships with our own bodies. And that means pushing back against generations of social messaging that tells us we are never shaped, dressed or acting the way we 'should' in the eyes of others.

She also points out that Women are not "girls" – it's time to be accountable for how referring to adult females as children (by both men and women) prolongs sexist and ageist behavior in society. So, sit back and get comfortable, we have a lot to cover. And by the end of it, I bet you feel inspired to go find a sport!

I'm excited to be meeting Brandi and other inspiring female athletes like herself at this year's one of a kind sports festival, The Good Games July 6th and 7th in Guelph, Ontario.

Menopause is finally being talked about more openly, but the conversation is often dominated by symptoms, fear, and loss.

What if there is another way to think about this stage of life?

In this episode, Jacquie sits down with Charlotte White Ima, founder of Cascade Herbal Living, to explore a different perspective on menopause, midlife, and personal growth.

Rather than viewing menopause solely through the lens of symptoms and challenges, Charlotte invites us to consider it as a significant life transition that deserves attention, reflection, and respect.

Together we discuss:

• Why the language we use around menopause matters

• How negative narratives shape women's expectations of midlife

• The connection between menopause, identity, and personal transformation

• Spiritual awareness and life transitions

• Reframing menopause as a period of growth rather than decline

• What women can gain, not just lose, during this stage of life

This conversation does not ignore the realities of menopause. Instead, it expands the conversation beyond symptoms and asks a bigger question:

What becomes possible when women approach midlife with curiosity instead of fear?

If you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply rethinking what aging means, this episode offers a thoughtful and refreshing perspective.

2024 The GOOD Games are back for a third year of fun, competition, and inspiration. Canada’s biggest festival of sport will take place from July 6 th to 7th at the University of Guelph. Situated on the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, The GOOD Games are honoured to partner this year with the Indigenous Sport and Wellness Council of Ontario as The GOOD Games become a stop on their "Road to the Masters Indigenous Games."

Since 2020, The GOOD Games have emphasized wellness, inclusion, and the transformational power of sport for people of all ages and abilities. The event combines sports competitions for all levels of athletes, and a free family-friendly festival of activities.

But that’s not the most exciting part. Did I mention who some of the top athletes are? These incredible women are coming in for all over to compete and they are showing off their strength, talent, and A-game in their 50s, 60s, 70’s AND 80s! They are living proof that age is nothing more than a number and attitude is everything.

In this episode I’m talking to Helen Stoumbos, Founder and CEO of the GOOD Games. How is she changing the way women look at sports and aging? Tune in to find out!
