Every one of us has been through a transition – first day of school, first day of college, first day on the job, heartbreak, a layoff, having been terminated at work, a divorce, death of a loved one, moving to a new home or a new town, cleaning out and selling your family house, being an empty nester, a serious illness, illness in a loved one, caring for aging parents or a loved one, retirement, downsizing. The list goes on. In this episode we explore the thoughts behind these transitions that lead to the difficult emotions that keep people stuck. I show you how to honor those difficult emotions and not turn away in fear. You are then able to open the door to new thoughts that create new emotions that lead to a blue sky life.

Humans are wired to play it safe. This is why we are not extinct as a species - we know our tribe, we know our role in the tribe, and we know if we don’t live up to our role we may risk being ousted by the tribe which in earlier times may have resulted in death by the elements, a competing tribe or a mastodon. In current day that human will to survive translates to our need to belong, be accepted, be affirmed and valued. In this episode we will discuss how this need can trap us in the most dangerous risk of all and what to do about it.

Many of my clients are in their 40s, 50s and 60s and are experiencing ageism at work and in life. It is an insidious form of discrimination because it is hard to prove, rarely litigated yet quietly undermining careers, workforce productivity and people’s self-worth. I speak and write a lot on ageism because it upsets me. I see the havoc it plays on personas and self-esteem. In this podcast we discuss what ageism is, the hidden signs and what you can do to be prepared and not fall into the trap of being ageist. Aging is one condition that will affect all of us.
