The Reinvention Queen Podcast | Reinvention After 40, Midlife & Your Next Chapter

One of the areas in my life that was always a “hot mess” was my relationships. That’s why, in this episode of TheFemmeCast, I am thrilled to introduce to you The Douchebag Diaries series! The series is devoted to sharing the stories of the top 5 douchebags I had the privilege of dating and learning a “hot mess” pile of lessons from in my “hot mess” romantic lifetime. All the names, dates and locations have been changed to protect the “not so innocent.” 

One thing I do have to say though is that each of these said douchebags helped me to make a life changing mindset shift and more importantly, each taught me a very powerful lesson about radical self. And so for that reason, I am truly grateful for each and every one of them. From the one who would always trash talk all his ex-girlfriends and eventually me, to one who cheated and managed to manipulate so much that he made me believe I was crazy for thinking he cheated, I am grateful to them all. And I dish about all of them right here on TheFemmeCast.

Ever wonder how you can bring the sexy back into your life, even in those moments when you just don't feel sexy? Trust me when I tell you...so have I! That's why in this episode of the TheFemmeCast, I've invited Boudoir Photographer Gabby Jockers, owner of Embodied Art Boudoir, a body positive boudoir studio in Golden Colorado, to share with us how she uses a blend of photography and mindfulness techniques like meditation and breathwork, to help her clients connect with their bodies. Her approach to photography is more than just a sexy photo shoot, it's a transformative step in her clients' self-love journey.

In this powerful conversation, we unpack the importance of creating safe spaces for women to express their emotions and reconnect with their bodies. Gabby sheds light on the challenges women often grapple with, such as body dysmorphia and negative self-talk, and how boudoir photography can shift perspective and fuel self-acceptance. She also shares her insights about the need for diversifying beauty standards in the media, the concept of body neutrality, and the importance of gratitude for our bodies.

To wrap up, Gabby reveals her toolbox for self-care, featuring her affirmation card deck, The Body Deck. These resources can kickstart your journey towards positive changes in your life. So whether you're intrigued by boudoir photography, eager to cultivate self-love and body acceptance, or just looking to be inspired by a woman passionate about empowering others, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in, relax, and let's embrace this journey to self-love and acceptance together.

Ever wonder why you’ve always struggled with being a perfectionist. Are you curious about why you’re always being too hard on yourself? If so, I totally get it.

For years I wondered why I struggled so much with perfectionism, and why I was always so hard on myself for the littlest things. I was even hard on myself, for being hard myself…if you can imagine. Until I started to understand more about my perfectionism, and why it was something that I struggled with for so long.

That’s why on this episode of TheFemmeCast, we’re going to talk all about the real reason you might struggle with being a perfectionist, and what you can do today to help yourself break free from that pattern once and for all. All while mastering the art of radical self love and acceptance. So that you can start living your best hot mess life today.

Admit it! You take a little pride in the fact that you're a perfectionist don’t you? Sure you joke about it, making it seem like it’s that annoying and quirky quality that you have, and wish you didn’t. But deep down, you know you kind of like it…don’t you? And I know, because this was me. 

I would make fun of myself all the time, admitting to others that I was indeed a perfectionist like it was such an annoying thing. But on the inside, I was secretly proud of being a perfectionist. I mean come on, who wouldn’t feel proud about getting things perfect every single time, am I right?! lol. That is until you don’t. When that happens, being a perfectionist can very quickly become your worst mental nightmare. 

• When the career that you were at the top of game with suddenly has you feeling like a failure
• When the perfect marriage or relationship suddenly slaps you in the face with something you never expected
• When the perfect business that you built from the ground up with everyone watching suddenly burns to the ground. 

These are the times that will teach you whether or not the confidence you have in yourself is real. 

That’s why on this episode of TheFemmeCast, we’re going to talk all about how perfectionism could lead to false self esteem. The kind that can quickly cause you to downward spiral as soon as something goes wrong. 

I’m also going to share with you how to navigate that downward spiral, so that you can come out the other side relatively in one piece, all while mastering the art of radical self love and acceptance. So that you too can start living your best hot mess life today.

Do you often feel like you are putting your life on hold? Is being a perfectionist keeping you from living your best life?

As a perfectionist, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that everything has to be perfect before you can start living your best life. But the truth is, perfectionism can be paralyzing and prevent you from taking action to create everything you desire.

Putting life on hold until everything is perfect is not a sustainable way to live. It's time to let go of the idea that everything has to be perfect and start taking small steps towards your dreams. 

In this episode of  TheFemmeCast, I share about how I had to overcome my insecurities about my body to book a trip and enjoy myself. It was a small step, but it made a big impact on my life. 

So, don't let perfectionism hold you back from living your best life. Take the first step towards your dreams today, all while mastering the art of radical self love and acceptance. So that you too can start living your best hot mess life today.

Have you ever wondered why people-pleasing and perfectionism often go hand in hand? Do you often find yourself struggling with being both a people-pleaser and a perfectionist? Well, you're not alone, my friend.

In this episode of TheFemmeCast, I spill the tea on my personal journey of breaking free from the chains of people-pleasing and perfectionism. 

Let me tell you, being a perfectionist and a people-pleaser is not sexy at all. I used to take pride in my perfectionism, thinking it was something to be proud of. But boy, was I wrong! My perfectionism was just another form of people-pleasing, and it held me back in so many ways. I set the most impossible standards for myself, and would almost always lead me into a spiral of negative thoughts and feelings when I didn't meet them.

But fear not, my friend! I'm here to tell you that embracing imperfection is the key to breaking free from people-pleasing and perfectionism. It's time to let go of the expectation of perfection and embrace the messiness of life. Waiting for perfection is like waiting for a unicorn to show up at your doorstep. It's not gonna happen! So start living your best life now, even if it is a hot mess, and remind yourself that your best is enough.

Breaking free from people-pleasing and perfectionism is a process. It takes time, effort, and a willingness to embrace imperfection. But trust me, it's worth it! So, let’s dive in and help you to do just that, all while mastering the art of radical self love and acceptance. So that you too can start living your best hot mess life today.

I share my personal experience with burnout, overwhelm, and exhaustion caused by the constant pressure to be perfect. However, I also offer a solution to this problem.

By focusing on radical self love, and setting healthy boundaries, we can break free from the cycle of perfectionism and achieve a greater sense of fulfillment and well-being.

Caregiving is no easy task. In fact, it can be absolutely depleting. And we can get so caught up in the frustration and the overwhelm of all of our to do's, that we can forget or even refuse, to do the most important thing as a caregiver. And that is taking care of ourselves.

That's why on this episode of TheFemmeCast, I'm going to share with you my own experiences and frustrations with being a caregiver, as well as all of the "normal" feelings we can experience as a result of.  Plus, I'm also going to share with you my best advice and strategies that I've used, so that regardless of how frustrated and overwhelmed you might be feeling, you're still taking care of yourself and making what you need a priority as well. 

I know it's not always easy. But it is necessary. For you and for them.  So if you're a caregiver (or if you know one) then you're definitely gonna want to listen to this episode.

I have been dying to record this episode for so long. Come to think of it, I’m not sure why it’s even taken this long lol. Regardless, here we are.

That’s why on this episode of TheFemmeCast, I share with you my process for how I transform my life, again and again and again, simply and easily, with the power of five. These are five life changing daily habits that when stacked together and done repeatedly day after day, have the power to change your life. And the best part is that, these are habits that are unique to you! 

I truly believe that the best transformations are the ones that happen one day at a time. When you commit to taking small incremental steps each and every day towards what you desire, there is literally no limit to what you can accomplish. 

You really do just have to decide what it is you truly want, and what you’re willing to do every single day to get there. 

So if you’re ready to create some massive change and transformation, then you're going to want to listen to this episode.
