Here are her Key Takeaways:

1. Reinvention is an evolution and building upon what we already have that's awesome. 
2. The things that got me to move forward were all of my strengths. All the things that I was using with other people, were the things I needed to direct to myself now. 
3. I look at our lives as simply a series of decisions we can make. Are we going to be proud of ourselves at the other side of that decision?
4. I'm at the point where I walk into my fears and I ask myself 2 things - am I afraid or am I reacting to doubt?
5. I think you really need to look at why you would be stopping yourself from doing something - step into it - what is the worst that could happen?
6. I think we all need to train that little voice of doubt- every time we have doubt we need to start exercising this.
7. If you do the right think I strongly believe it's going to come right back to you. What's the right thing for you to keep your confidence and move forward in a progressive and productive manner? 
8. There is never going to be a perfect moment, and sometimes we need to just believe in ourselves so muc

In this podcast, we delve into the challenges and opportunities that come with midlife career transitions, addressing the importance of change, finding one's Ikigai, and building confidence, especially for women. We explore the impact of limiting beliefs and midlife crises, while also discussing visualization, manifestation, and the journey of self-discovery that leads to reinvention and fulfillment, all while providing valuable career advice.

Enjoy this podcast episode with Glenda Britton. Her passion for holistic nutrition as fueled by her own lived experience, is a lesson for us all to think about our own lifestyle and nutrition and how we can improve our energy, health and life if we follow some simple strategies. 

After years of being unwell, multiple diagnoses and medications, along with buckets of supplements, the doctors said,  "There's  nothing more that can be done". She had no choice – out of sheer desperation, she turned to nutrition... Initially having no idea what to do – she spent HOURS every day in the kitchen - lucky for her it worked!

She returned to school to learn the science behind how food could help her get better when nothing else could. Now, Glenda happily states that she’s healthier now than she was 20 years ago.

Here are her key takeaways:

1. Even though there are nutrients, foods, supplements and lifestyle strategies for symptoms, unless you go upstream to the actual cause or imbalance, you just won't make any gains.
2. We are at a place in history where we have come so far away from our natural food sources that we need people like nutritionists. Nutritionists wouldn't have been a thing 100 years ago because we were eating organic foods in soil that was robust and full of nutrients.
3. The microbiome is a series of bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses which is everywhere through our bodies and is a big indicator of our health. Most of our microbiome is in our gut. Even the bad ones have some good properties.
4. The problem is not the gluten, the problem is the gut. The problem is the health of the gut.
5. The Superager concept is both cognitive and physical. In our 60s to 80s we can function 20 or more years younger than what is expected in that age range. 
6. We know that depression is an inflamed brain and that the gut and brain are connected. Is a direct connection. If we are working on inflammation in gut - can help with brain health. It's holistic.
7. A lot of people are having health crises sooner and are turning to healthy, holistic lifestyles as a result. 
8.  By supporting smaller farms, we are protecting our planet and lowering our carbon blueprint.

We explore the impact of limiting beliefs and midlife crises, while also discussing visualization, manifestation, and the journey of self-discovery that leads to reinvention and fulfillment, all while providing valuable career advice.

Enjoy this next podcast episode with Kavita, as she speaks about setting Big Hairy Audacious Goals for yourself, which align with your strengths, passions, values - and how much impact you want to make for those you choose to.   Even if you think things are going great - there is always a chance to bring out a blank slate and ask yourself - can I do better?

The all-too-common question: “What do I want to do with the rest of my life?” looms large in our minds. It always seems to be about the DOING – but I challenge you to disrupt this way of thinking. 

What if you were to think about who you want to BE first? Think about it this way: 

“Who you want to BE determines what you will do, and how you will achieve it”

 The only way we can really figure out what we want to do (and how to do it) is to first start with the WHO. Who do you want to be, and why? The answers will come from within if we really stop to ask ourselves deep questions and answer truthfully.

What is your BHAG – your Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal?

Take some time to write down what comes to mind right now for you. Remember, your goals can be as outrageous or audacious as you want – but it is a dream you have for yourself. If you’ve done the work of thinking about your strengths, passions, and values – no doubt this BHAG will align with them.

It should make you feel uncomfortable. As it stands today, to what degree do you think you can achieve your BHAG? Of course, blocks will come up as you think about executing your BHAG. Write those blocks down and ask yourself – what strengths do I possess which will help me achieve this goal?

As we transition in distinct stages of our lives, always remember who you want to BE first. Let your BHAG guide you, and work to uncover all the remarkable things you already have inside of you – that are just waiting to be revealed to the world.

In the meantime, if you are thinking about your BHAG and are at a crossroads in life - maybe thinking about changing your career, moving ahead in your current one, leaving it to start a new venture, retiring to pursue your passions, or doing a combination of all of these - but are confused - reach out to me. I’ve been there, I know how you feel, and I have created a process and am trained to help you find the answers.

My bhag is to positively impact 1 million women worldwide - but that starts with one powerful wo

Here are her key takeaways:

1. Setbacks are often set-ups. We  see things that happen in life as setbacks when in fact they are usually they are a set-up for something bigger and better. 
2. What I desire matters, how I feel matters, who I am in the world matters. I matter!
3. I know that I'm the creator of my own reality and I sourced this happening for a reason.
4. I'm open to receiving because I know that when there is a clear intention - it's always reflected in the results. The results will show up.
5. As women when we can reclaim that intuition, when we can slow down enough to listen, when we can really ask ourselves, what is it that we desire - what do I desire right now?

Here are her Key Takeaways:

1. I really feel that a version of myself expires everyday and I do my best to become the next best version the following day.
2. It is our time to do what we want to do with our life, When I gave myself permission to make myself a priority a lot of doors opened, because the sky is the limit.
3. It's not about the obstacles, it's about the vision - what is it that you want? It's like we get another wing!
4. Being vulnerable doesn't mean I am not strong - I can still be a very strong woman and still be vulnerable. It's ok to cry sometimes.
5. The person in the mirror is your best friend and you need to be kind to that person, and figure out what are the possibilities you have to overcome the obstacles that you are facing in that moment.
6. You have a choice, even if your panties are on your ankles! You can change your mind! God allows U-turns! 
7. When you acknowledge all the blessings that you have in your life, then you live a life of abundance.

Here are her Key Takeaways:

1. Ask yourself what you really want. Not what society says you should have. That may have been ok in our 20s or 30s but now it's ok if you actually want something different.
2. Have a MacGyver mentality - that there is always a solution. You may have to take a couple of detours, but focus on what your end goal is. 
3. Sort out fact from fiction and if this is what you want to do, be focused on it. You will always have your detractors, but similarly you'll have people who support you on your side.
4. Values evolve and change. When it comes to purpose - ask yourself - does this make me feel good? Does it make me happy?
5. I always said I never want any "could have, would have, should have's". Always try something - and if it doesn't work - then it doesn't work  but at least you've tried!
6. This is the power trifecta! Black, fe

We are thrilled to celebrate so many things, including that The Midlife Reinvention: A Power Purpose Play Podcast has been selected as one of the Top 20 Midlife Women Podcasts on the web!  https://blog.feedspot.com/midlife_women_podcasts/

We could not have done this without you, our wonderful listeners, for tuning in every week and for sharing our podcast to your friends and family. You are the reason I am doing this, and it is you I have in mind as I record my solo episodes and interview incredible women every week.

I’d also like to celebrate each and every one of my wonderful guests who have shared their stories, their experiences, their knowledge and wisdom so we can all learn and apply these key takeaways into our own lives. On that note, this episode I am dedicating to bringing out one key takeaway which stood out for me, from each episode - so I hope you enjoy it

People often ask me - why do I highlight other women in your podcast? I say to them - why not? We all have our unique stories and experiences, and if we can’t learn from one another - what is the point? I believe in the abundance of the universe, and by sharing and collaborating with one another - we all win.

Join an upcoming opportunity to be a part of our Group Coaching Program called "It's’ My Time Now!", starting the week of October 17th for 6 incredible and transformational weeks of discovering who you are, what you really want, and how to get there.

You are unique, and only you have the unique combination of skills, talents, values and experience that you possess.

Here are her Key Takeaways:

1. The beauty of any transition is that there is unbelievable opportunity for growth, where you have the  opportunity to follow your  heart and not just your mind. 
2. By the time you've been here for 50 years plus you have had so many experiences, including resilience, which is a gift.
3. You are on the right path if you can stay curious and that helps you push aside fear, but moreover there are all these synchronicities as you follow your heart...it all seems to be served up to you on a path. If we are open to possibilities it can happen to any of us.
4. I'm the driver on this bus - I get to decide which direction we go and we have a finely tuned GPS inside and we've got to listen to it and know when we are off course.
5. Fear is powerful and it's an essential part of being alive. It's a survival tool, but we have to know where to put fear, we have to know when to listen to it and when it's simply just holding us back.
6. If we have a dream that's inside of us...we owe it to

Join Kavita, as she muses about our first days! As she watched the children in her neighborhood embarking on their first day of school - and witnessed their nervousness and excitement. She saw how this day brings sadness to the parents who separate from their kids, yet pride at what they have become.  As we pack our kids off to school, and settle back into our own lives – what is ahead for us? We all have the same feelings when we start something new. We have worry – will we be able to succeed? Fear – are people going to like me? Excitement – for all the new things we are going to learn and all the new people we are going to meet. Especially now, after 2 years of not seeing one another in person – this year is extra special.

Think about what you want your first day to look like. Whether that is a first day at a new job – a new career – or even the same career but with a different outlook on it. What will your relationships look like – can you bring the freshness back of the first day you met? How about when you felt so energized and healthy – can you bring that energy and vitality back into your lives?

It's all starts with our thoughts. If you can think it, it can happen. Think of all the positive possibilities. Yes, there will be doubts, and yes, not everything is going to happen magically. But if you think it can, with every fiber of your being – it has to happen. It’s just law. Be open to the possibilities around you – put yourself out there even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Go for what you really want because there is no time like the present. 

Kavita has created a system to help you get there. It’s called, It’s My Time Now, and you are invited with a small group of other like-minded women to join her this fall, starting the week of October 17th for 6 weeks of transformation. You will have Kavita live on zoom for 90 minutes each week for 6 weeks where she will take you step by step through this process she has created.  You will be with other women in this group who want the same things – who want to feel like their first days are ahead of them and not behind them.

 Are you interested? If so, email Kavita today at [email protected] and tell her why you want this day to be the first. She will send you all the details and the application form. It is only open to 10 women for maximum interaction and transformation. If you have even an inkling of curios

4 Questions to Help Women Navigate the Second Half of Their Careers
Network to Amplify V.A.L.U.E

 Here are her key takeaways:

1. In 2022, Globally, women in senior management is at 32%. In Canada, the number of women in the C-Suite is at 21%. The pace is very slow and if we continue at this rate, we are not going to reach gender parity for 130 years. 
2. Many social, cultural and gender norms, as well as race, ethnicity and the double blind bias hold women back from leading and being more visible. Women are often having to balance likability and competence.
3. A lot of time there is a strong hesitation to pursue visibility. And one of the reasons I, "well, my work should speak for itself". There is a gender bias in being too visible, and to many, visibility means bragging, and bragging is bad! 
4. There are 4 questions women can ask to rethink their professional goals: 1) What would your career or contribution look like if nothing was in the way? 2) What permission do you need to give yourself in order to become who you want to be? 3) How could you build access and support for your network? And 4) What do you need to learn? 
5. Women are not as kind to the
