“As women, the greatest thing we can do is to help each other rise and support each other and collaborate, share, inspire and empower”.

Today’s episode is about the different seasons of a woman’s life, whether you are a wife, a mother or career woman.

My guest, Brenda Ridgley shares that as women, we can sometimes fall victim to the silent epidemic of letting ourselves go.

Not the makeup free, yoga pants or the weight gain routine, but how little by little we have allowed our preferences, our interests and our individuality to slip away until we no longer recognize ourselves outside of our role as wives, mothers or professionals.

Brenda is a mind valley, certified women’s midlife coach, award winning best-selling author, speaker, retreat leader and girlfriend guru.

Her mission is to support women through life transitions and help them connect to their passions, purpose and people.

In this episode, Brenda shares:

• Why women need a tribe
• How to create empowering friendships in your life
• How to reclaim who you really are as a woman
• Her Whole YOU Retreat and how it brings transformation to your life

“Don’t allow your wounds to turn you into a person you are not”

Have you been hurt?

Have you noticed that maybe an area of your gifting or a particular strength you have is no longer operating in your life?

Life hurts, and when we get wounded by other people or events in our lives, that unhealed wound can eventually cover or shut down our giftings and strengths.

When we get wounded, it is so damaging to our hearts and our souls.

In this episode, Debi shares:

• How to begin to recognize what your wounds have been hiding about the real you!
• How the power of someone’s words can shut down your gift.
• Understand what we have put aside or laid down because we have been hurt. 
• Why it's important to heal the wound so your gift and your strength can operate again in your life. It’s who you are!

This journal guides you through your 5 FROGS® transformation journey on the road to greater resilience – Brenda Reynolds

Transitions are all about seasons of change, and sometimes these changes catch us off guard and leave us feeling devastated.

My guest, Brenda Reynolds would share that back in 2008, her life went sideways, alongside with the economy.

Brenda Reynolds is the founder of BKR Consulting, Inc. and has spent her career as a trusted organization and leadership consultant focused on helping clients lead with clarity and confidence during times of change.

She leaves her clients equipped with the mindset, behaviors, and strategies to master their “now what?’’ moments in the workplace or

life space.

In this episode, Brenda shares:

• How she helps her clients through times of uncertainty, challenge and change.
• What does F.R.O.G.S. acronym stand for and the meaning behind it.

“When we forgive, we heal.    When we let go, we grow.”

Forgiveness is not easy, but it is necessary.

It’s necessary because unforgiveness impacts our health, our mental and emotional well-being, and also our spiritual walk.

In today’s episode, Debi shares:

• The health benefits of walking in forgiveness
• How unforgiveness affects our health in a negative way
• What the medical field says about both forgiveness and unforgiveness
• When we don’t forgive, we give our power to the person who hurt us
• Why we need to live in the present with a clear heart and not in the past with a broken one

If you are struggling with this journey of forgiveness, Debi invites you to reach out for a free call to help you walk through this process to a personal breakthrough.

“To compare yourself to others is to forget about your own unique journey” Emily’s Quotes

“Don’t compare yourself to others, compare yourself to the person you were yesterday” Jordan Peterson

Comparison is a slippery slope. 

In the beginning, we may not think it is a dangerous thing to do, but inevitably, we will be caught in its web. 

While it may be good to consider what others are doing to possibly learn from their success, if we linger too long, we can take the bait and get hooked on comparison.

In this episode, Debi shares:

• How comparison takes us off our north center and focus
• How the web of comparison destroys our dreams and aspirations
• How our negative self-talk can be the gateway to comparison
• How we will either shrink back or become proud because of comparison

If you struggle with comparison, Debi invites you to schedule a free call on the link below.

“Retirement is a blank sheet of paper.   It is a chance to redesign your life into something new and different.”

One of the transitions that eventually most of us will experience is the transition of retirement.   

We know this season is coming into our lives and we know it is inevitable, so how do we prepare?

Can retirement be more than financial security?

My guest today, Milan Schwarzkopf is a Purposeful Retirement Expert.

retirement.

• I teach people to retire with no fear of how they will transit into their third act of life.

Her personal battle with chronic fatigue inspired her to uncover its root causes, leading to the creation of a transformative system that addresses the five core root causes of Chronic Fatigue/ME.
