January 07, 2025Redefining Your Path: Overcoming Doubt and Finding Courage to Pivot with Amber Powers
Redefining your path begins with silencing fear, trusting your instincts, and embracing the bold question: “Why not me?” Amber Powers, the founder of Powers Peak Consulting LLC, joins Andrea Hecht to share her journey of career pivots and the lessons learned along the way. How can we overcome limiting beliefs and move forward with confidence when the next step feels uncertain? Amber’s approach, which is rooted in curiosity and the “Why Not Me?” mindset, demonstrates the importance of recognizing your transferable skills and building the courage to take risks.

This episode explores how to navigate life transitions with confidence by leaning on a strong support system, staying open to learning, and embracing opportunities as they come. Whether you’re reevaluating your current path or considering a major change, Amber’s story is living proof of the power of self-belief and intentional action. Join the conversation to get inspired, and to learn how to take charge of your next ChaptHER!

Quotes
“I think women, even more so, often feel like they need to have 100% of what they think they need before making a leap. But I believe that even if you’re only halfway there, with the right support, you’ll make it because you’ll be able to learn over and over.” (20:17 | Amber Powers)
“It was the day-to-day where I just thought, ‘This doesn’t excite me anymore.’ I was going to work to be with the people, and I had this opportunity to go do something that seemed exciting to me, and I just couldn’t shake it.” (22:01 | Amber Powers)
“Nobody has it figured out. I got to tell you, that really resonates. I say that to myself a lot. Nobody has it figured out. You can't know all the things, right? But you are strong at something. You are good at something, right? So showcase that. and have those conversations with people. And I think all around it'll just build you up.” (34:51 | Amber Powers)
“If you have something you’re interested in, follow that voice. Don’t follow the voice that makes you hesitate. Follow the voice, pursue it, ask questions, talk to people. And also, you do not have to be 100% ready to make the move.” (49:13 | Amber Powers)

December 31, 2024Feeling Stuck? How These Women Broke the Cycle and Rediscovered Joy
Feeling stuck in autopilot mode—showing up for everyone but yourself? As Andrea Hecht puts it, "When you're constantly giving everything to everyone else, like your family, your career, your friends, it's really easy to feel like you're disappeared from your own life." In this episode, Andrea shares her personal journey of rediscovery and introduces her "This Is Me" coaching framework, designed to help women reconnect with themselves, let go of limiting beliefs, and build lives that feel joyful and authentic.

Through three inspiring client stories, Andrea highlights how small steps—like setting boundaries, releasing guilt, and reigniting forgotten passions—can lead to lasting transformation. These stories remind us that prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish; it’s essential.

Andrea encourages listeners to reflect on where they might be giving too much of themselves and take one small step to reclaim their joy. Learn more about her lifestyle and mindset assessment and how it can help you find your roadmap back to yourself.

Quotes
"Midlife isn't a breakdown because it's really an opportunity for a breakthrough .But when you're constantly giving everything to everyone else, like your family, your career, your friends, it's really easy to feel like you're disappeared from your own life and forgetting to fill your own cup." (02:35 | Andrea Hecht)
“Sometimes transformation isn't about fixing really what's broken. It's really about reigniting what's already inside of you. And that's a huge part of what I do with my clients. There's nothing wrong with anybody. Sometimes we just forget about the things that matter to us. And we need to kind of uncover that and spend some time working on that.”(13:42 | Andrea Hecht)
"So really what I want you to ask yourself right now is to think where in your life are you constantly giving but feeling drained, that you're constantly giving to everyone else, but it's draining your energy?" (14:08 | Andrea Hecht)
"If you're ready to rediscover yourself and release what's been holding you back, I really want you to start creating a life that feels bold, balanced, and joyful for you." (15:55 | Andrea Hecht)

December 24, 2024The Loneliness Crisis: Why We Feel Disconnected and How to Rebuild Connection
Loneliness can linger even in the busiest rooms, but meaningful connections have the power to transform how we feel and thrive. As your host Andrea Hecht says, “Loneliness isn’t really about how many people are around you. It’s really about that quality of connections that we have.” In this episode, Andrea explores the often-overlooked issue of loneliness, especially among women in midlife, who may feel isolated despite living in an age of constant digital connectivity. Sharing her personal experiences, Andrea reflects on how surface-level relationships can leave us feeling unseen and how seeking deeper, value-driven connections can change everything.

Andrea points out the importance of taking stock of current relationships, letting go of those that no longer serve us, and finding new communities where genuine bonds can form. Vulnerability and consistency are key in cultivating these meaningful connections. To support this journey, Andrea introduces the Next ChaptHER Circle—a community designed to help women in midlife feel truly seen and build relationships that matter. Learn more about it at https://fullyinformedlifecoaching.myflodesk.com/nextchapthercircle.

Quotes
“Loneliness doesn’t always look the way that we think it does. So you can be married and lonely. You can have a partner and be lonely. You can have a house full of kids and still feel disconnected. And you can be a part of a huge social circle. But guess what? You can still feel like no one truly knows or sees you.” (03:37 | Andrea Hecht)
“Loneliness isn’t really about how many people are around you. It’s really about that quality of connections that we have.” (04:05 | Andrea Hecht)
“Where in your life do you feel most connected right now? And where can you start to build that up? And where do you feel really disconnected? And then what’s one small step you can take this week to deepen your connections?” (13:47 | Andrea Hecht)
“Connection doesn’t really have to be complicated. Sometimes it just starts with that single conversation or that small act of vulnerability and reaching out. So, if you’ve really been craving connection, I want you to know that it's possible to find.” (15:03 | Andrea Hecht)

December 10, 2024The $1 a day shift: Why Investing in Yourself is a game-changer
“What if you spent just $1 a day on yourself an entire year?” Your host, Andrea Hecht, starts this episode with this question. What could that dollar add up to—clarity, confidence, connection, or even joy?

In this episode, Andrea challenges the common hesitation many women feel about investing in themselves. How come we spend so easily on others but second-guess even small acts of self-care? She explains how this mindset sends the wrong message to ourselves and those around us: that our needs are optional.

Andrea shares her own journey of overcoming guilt and shifting her priorities to include personal growth. She then introduces The Next ChaptHER Circle, a space designed for women to reconnect with their purpose, build meaningful relationships, and access tools for thriving in every stage of life.

Could one small shift—like a dollar a day—be the key to stepping into your next chapter with confidence and joy? Andrea invites you to find out by joining the waitlist and making yourself a priority. Sign up for the waitlist here: https://fullyinformedlifecoaching.myflodesk.com/nextchapthercircle

Quotes
“The hard truth is when you hesitate to invest in yourself, whether it’s that time, whether it’s money or it’s just energy spent on yourself, you’re sending yourself a huge fat message and those around you that you don’t matter, that your needs don’t matter, your dreams don’t matter, your wellbeing doesn’t matter, and that it’s just optional.” (04:38 | Andrea Hecht)
“It’s not about that money; it’s more about ‘What does it represent?’ For that dollar, you’re actually telling yourself every single day that you are worth it. And it’s important to send yourself that message and say, ‘I am worth it. I am valuable, and I should be spending time on myself.’ That dollar isn’t just about a present for yourself. It’s actually an investment in your future self. So, we’re investing in our growth. We’re investing in our self-worth.” (09:17 | Andrea Hecht)
“You are worth it. You deserve to feel joyful, confident, and connected. You deserve a space that’s just for you—a space where you can grow, dream, and step into your next chapter with confidence, surrounded by women who are cheering you on. And guess what? It all starts with just a dollar a day and saying, ‘Yes, I am worth it.’” (15:24 | Andrea Hecht)

November 26, 2024Manifesting Confidence: Creating the Life You Want at Any Stage with Emmie Levy
“When you’re kind and do a kind gesture for a friend, it makes you feel good. When you feel good, you feel confident about yourself. When you do something kind for someone else, they feel good, become confident, and want to pass on that kindness. It creates a chain reaction of kindness, spreading positivity. That’s what I hope to do with the Emmie Effect—affecting the world in a very positive way.”

Emmie Levy, the creator of the Emmie Effect, joins Andrea Hecht in this episode to share her journey from education major to Super Bowl halftime dancer, proving that confidence and persistence can lead to extraordinary outcomes. As a confidence and manifestation coach, Emmie explains how tools like journaling and affirmations can shift your mindset, clarify your goals, and empower you to overcome challenges.

Emmie’s story shows the power of belief paired with action. Whether you’re rewriting your story or moving on to the next chaptHER, join Emmie and Andrea’s conversation for actionable tools and encouragement to help you build confidence and create a purposeful life—at any stage!

Quotes
“Anyone can benefit from confidence and the tools of manifesting. I wanted to share this because I believe it’s so important. When you manifest something, think about your dreams and goals, and put them into the universe, they can come true. Just like my own dreams came true when I danced in this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.” (04:37 | Emmie Levy)
“It’s important to understand that the skills you have go with you. It also takes confidence—believing in and understanding yourself—to make these pivots. And it’s okay to make them. If something doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t mean you need to stay where you are just because it’s the path you thought you should be on.” (08:36 | Andrea Hecht)
“Confidence is defined differently for everyone, but the way I view it is as someone who is so sure of themselves—regardless of the environment, the room, who they’re with, or even if they’re alone. It’s all about the way you carry yourself.” (09:41 | Emmie Levy)
“My definition of manifesting is the process of using your thoughts, beliefs, and positive energy to turn your dreams into reality.” (17:18 | Emmie Levy)

November 12, 2024Reclaim Your Style: How to Rewrite Your Closet Story in Midlife with Laura P. Barker
“When you curate—starting with your closet, which is always ever-evolving—and continue to let go while bringing things in with intention, you become more aligned,” says Laura P. Barker, a closet curator and personal stylist helping women over 40 redefine their style narratives.
Laura joins Andrea Hecht and invites us to see our closets as more than just a place for clothes. Does your wardrobe truly reflect the person you are today? Instead of clinging to outdated styles or beliefs about what “works” for you, Laura encourages a fresh approach—one that’s about letting go of what no longer serves you and making space for pieces that feel genuine. She shares insights on moving past limiting beliefs around body image and size and reminds listeners that style can be freeing when it’s rooted in personal comfort and confidence, not trends.
Through her thoughtful approach, Laura shares practical tips for building a wardrobe that resonates with your life right now. This episode is a reminder that style isn’t about fitting into someone else’s idea of what looks good; it’s about wearing what makes you feel true to yourself.
Quotes
“When we think about those stories we tell ourselves, we try to let go of them. We push ourselves to open up and ask, ‘What would we really want to do? How would we really want to feel?’ Then we start experimenting and let ourselves go in that direction. That’s when you can feel truly aligned and like yourself, so you can do all the things. And what better time to do that than in midlife?” (10:17 | Laura P. Barker)
“When you curate—starting with your closet, which is always ever-evolving—and continue to let go while bringing things in with intention, you become more aligned. Your closet and your clothes become a reflection of who you are.” (18:09 | Laura P. Barker)
“Midlife is the perfect time to rewrite your style story. Just like life evolves, so does our personal style. This is the moment to shed outdated narratives, challenge old beliefs, and embrace fashion that reflects who you are becoming. You don’t need to fit into someone else’s idea of style—you get to write the rules and define it for yourself.” (55:36 | Andrea Hecht)

October 29, 2024Redefining Fulfillment in Midlife: The Real Roadmap Back to Joy
“Fulfillment isn’t about what you do for a living. It’s about how you actually are living. It’s about connecting to what brings you joy and what brings you purpose,” says Andrea Hecht. In this episode, she invites women in midlife to rethink what fulfillment truly means. Is it about the titles you hold, the success you’re chasing, or is it something deeper?
Drawing from her journey of stepping away from a corporate career and redefining her purpose, Andrea shares practical steps to help you reconnect with what lights you up. From rekindling old passions to practicing mindfulness, giving back, and investing in personal growth, she breaks down how you can create a life that feels truly meaningful.
So, what would it look like if you gave yourself permission to pursue what genuinely makes you feel alive? Through her insights and real-life examples, Andrea guides listeners to reflect on this question and take actionable steps toward a more joyful, purposeful life.
Quotes
“Fulfillment isn’t something that you just tick off a checklist or buy on Amazon. It’s really like a feeling. And so, it’s about knowing who you are and what genuinely lights you up.” (06:46 | Andrea Hecht)
“True fulfillment is a real personal journey. It’s not about what the world sees, but it’s really what feels right for us inside.” (08:47 | Andrea Hecht)
“You’re never too old to learn something new or to invest in your own happiness.” (15:27 | Andrea Hecht)
“Fulfillment isn’t about what you do for a living. It’s about how you actually are living. It’s about connecting to what brings you joy and what brings you purpose.” (16:04 | Andrea Hecht)

October 15, 2024Rekindling Passion: Navigating Intimacy & Desire in Midlife with Rachael Goodman
“The biggest misconception is, ‘Oh my God, I hit 40, and I’m done. My time is over. I peaked in my 20s.’ But that’s completely wrong—a total misconception. The best is yet to come,” says Rachael Goodman, a registered psychotherapist and certified sex and couples counselor at Level Up, who specializes in intimacy and sexual relationships for women in midlife. In this episode, she joins Andrea Hecht to talk about how intimacy evolves as we age, exploring shifts in libido, body image, and emotional connection.

Rachael points out how open communication is essential to keeping a relationship fulfilling. She explains that intimacy is not just about the physical—it’s about emotional closeness and understanding, too. What can couples do to keep that connection strong? Rachael shares actionable tips, from trying new ways to connect intimately to fostering an environment that encourages closeness and trust.

Rachael and Andrea encourage listeners to embrace their sexuality and recognize that intimacy, when nurtured, continues to evolve and grow. Tune in to be reminded of how midlife can be a time for deeper connection and greater pleasure!

Quotes
“We want to enjoy ourselves, and part of that is pleasure. The women I typically work with have often lost themselves and want to rediscover who they are beyond motherhood or who they were in the past. That journey involves understanding their pleasure points, which may have changed over time. And those changes can happen because our bodies are changing.” (05:53 | Andrea Hecht)
“The reality is, as individuals and as couples, we often talk about our finances, our careers, or what’s happening in our day-to-day, but we rarely take the time to talk about sex—what we want, what’s happening, how it’s making us feel, or what we’re missing.” (07:19 | Rachael Goodman)
“The biggest misconception is, ‘Oh my God, I hit 40, and I’m done. My time is over. I peaked in my 20s.’ But that’s completely wrong—a total misconception. The best is yet to come.” (14:16 | Rachael Goodman)

October 01, 20243-Part Series of A Pediatrician's Perspective: Part 3: Role Models in the Digital Age: Guiding Teens to Healthy Influences
“With social media, influencers are now at the forefront of who our teens look up to. But how do we, as parents, help them discern which influencers are worthy of their admiration, especially in a world where AI can create perfect yet unrealistic personas?” Andrea Hecht raises this question in the final episode of the series “A Pediatrician's Perspective.” With Dr. Lisa Klein, they talk about the challenge of helping teens navigate a digital landscape where appearance often overshadows authenticity.

They explore the difference between influencers who push superficial values and those who stand for resilience, hard work, and real passion. Dr. Klein stresses the need of helping teens focus on role models who inspire through character and meaningful accomplishments—not just looks. How can parents initiate these conversations? Andrea and Dr. Klein offer helpful strategies for parents to help guide their teens toward influencers who will positively impact their development in the digital age by promoting open conversations and educating them to think critically about the content they consume.

Quotes
“Let’s start by being excellent role models ourselves and being honest and vulnerable with our tweens and teens about how we have awesome, confident days, but also days where we’re feeling kind of insecure—and that’s okay. We’re not robots; we feel things. We’re not perfect. So, let’s be good role models by finding good role models for ourselves at our age, and then helping our kids find who could be good role models for them.” (03:19 | Dr. Lisa Klein)
“It starts with us, understanding that we need to make sure we are following proper role models. We all know we’re guilty of putting on a quick filter or taking a picture and then deleting it, but we need to have those conversations… Sometimes these kids don’t understand that the people they’re following aren’t necessarily targeting children or considering what those children might think of them.” (05:44 | Andrea Hecht)
“It’s just good to follow people with passions, hobbies, and honesty. And yeah, the fun stuff is there too, as long as you stay in the mindset that, okay, I’ll take it for what it’s worth, but no one’s life is perfect, happy, and sunshine all the time.” (07:29 | Dr. Lisa Klein)
“Be real, be raw, don't use filters to change your appearance. Filter who you follow, filter the information coming at you. Is it real? Is it fake?” (12:10 | Dr. Lisa Klein)

October 01, 20243-Part Series of A Pediatrician's Perspective: Part 2: Teen Skincare: Separating Facts from Fads
“The young tween girls today want skincare as birthday gifts at their parties. That’s all they want: skincare, skincare, skincare,” says Dr. Lisa Klein. “This is a problem. It’s the latest craze, and it’s not okay. It’s not just about wasting money; these kids are damaging their skin.”

In this episode, part two of “A Pediatrician’s Perspective” series, Andrea Hecht and Dr. Klein talk about the rise of teen skincare trends driven by social media. Dr. Klein warns against using harsh products that can cause more harm than good and emphasizes the value of simple, age-appropriate routines for sensitive teen skin. She encourages open conversations between parents and teens about skincare choices and promotes a holistic approach to skin health, reminding us that what we put on our skin affects the entire body.

Quotes
“We have to be more educated and knowledgeable about what’s in our products, and understand that children’s skin is different from adult skin. Kids have healthy, sensitive skin that doesn’t need much.” (03:37 | Dr. Lisa Klein)
“I’m not shaming parents—I hear you. I’m a mom. Parenting is not for the weak. We want our kids to have fun and be part of fun trends. And you can have safe, fun skincare. You can have multiple products, but they should be multiple safe products.” (05:19 | Dr. Lisa Klein)
“Let’s create good habits. Let’s not believe everything we see on social media. Just like with everything else we teach them about social media, not everyone looks like that—everything’s edited. Just because you hear something doesn’t mean it’s true. The same goes for skincare, so we have to be very careful.” (07:09 | Dr. Lisa Klein)
“The key is simplification. It also involves having the conversation, educating your kids, and understanding that skincare is not just a toy—though I don’t know if ‘toy’ is the right word as they get older. I know my daughter enjoys doing ‘get ready with me’ and ‘get unready with me’ videos, and it becomes this whole thing where they do a haul of what they got. But we also need to make sure they’re using safe products.” (08:28 | Andrea Hecht)
