As many of us head into new directions at midlife - whether its getting back into the dating scene or embarking on a different career- we place ourselves into situations where we might not get the answers we hope for.

Some of us might even be hesitant to change because we're too afraid to face even the idea of rejection.

Hold on!

What if there is actually perfection in rejection?

In this ep I share ideas for reframing old thoughts and offer ways to make "no's" work for you.

How well do you know your pelvic floor?

Can you activate your Kegel muscles while you read this post?

Why is getting intimate with your pelvic floor so key at midlife?

If you're not sure what I'm talking about here, you definitely want to listen to this episode. My guest is Lisa Fitzpatrick - a physiotherapist, yoga teacher, international workshop leader, coach, writer, speaker and founder of Sacred Women's Business - a company that specializes in helping women find their voice and use it.

Lisa explains that the pelvic floor is powerful. It holds not only the physical foundation for the internal body but is also a source for our creative and feminine potential- the stuff we all need right now!

In her warm and empowering style, Lisa shares unique insight and ideas for making this essentially female part of our physiology, our friend.

You walk down the street and no one looks.

or so you think..

You might've heard the idea that at midlife, we become invisible. That, even if we think we're looking pretty good, we don't get noticed.

Well if you're feeling this way, you'll want to listen to this podcast which challenges the idea of invisibility. Are we really invisible or is this our wake up call to stop relying on others to determine our attractiveness? I'm going with the second option and maybe, after having a listen, you'll think so too!

PS - In this ep I mention that my yoga practice supports my take on "invisibility" and here's the link to the video I mention:

Mid-life is an opportunity to practice bravery.

It's true that among with the great things about being this age, there are also obvious challenges that we must face. Unlike past times in life, many of these issues require us to personally step up, put on our big girl pants and take charge.

In this episode I share three essential points for being courageous at mid-life. Even if all is really well in your world, having an awareness of these ideas in your back pocket will mean that when life brings you a situation, you will have a solid foundation to rest on.

Remember when you had just gotten out of high school and everyone was asking you what you wanted to be when you grew up?

Well mid-life is a lot like that.

Many of us are wanting jobs that are more than just 9-5's. We want careers that are aligned with what we love, rather than what we have to do. Others are needing to get into the workforce after looking after the family.

If you're ready to branch out, this episode of The Change Guru podcast is for you. I'm giving three solid tips for dipping your toes in the new career pool and two of these tips are so cool, I wish I would've known about them earlier!

On this week's episode, I'm talking about one of the key things that can hold us back from making positive change at mid-life - our identity.

Many of us think we have to label ourselves as a thing.  We might think we're just a "job" or just a "parent" but the problem is, thinking we're "just those things" keeps us stuck and holds us back from exploring our true potential.

In reality, we're the first generation of over 40 year olds who can challenge our roles and explore a multitude of new opportunities and identities. On this show, I share some ideas on how to embrace the idea of not knowing "who you are" and how this not knowing, can lead you on the adventure of your life.
