Top 3 Life Lessons Every Woman Needs to Hear Before Turning 60


Listen Later

I recently celebrated my big 60th and have been reflecting on the past decade. I've experienced significant growth in the last ten years, made a few big life transitions and I've learned a few life lessons along the way that I’ll share with you. My 50s were filled with raising four teenagers, caring for my elderly parents, navigating a divorce, writing a book, becoming a certified coach and somatic healer, and starting this podcast. I experienced so much personal growth and transformation that I never imagined was possible when I turned 50.


Today, I want to share three powerful lessons that helped me grow, embrace authenticity, and find more joy, freedom in life and I think they can help you too.


Here’s what you’ll learn:


  • How to stop compromising who you are to fit in, so you can start living a more authentic life.
  • How to tend and regulate your nervous system daily in today's fast-paced, overstimulating world.
  • Why yoga, meditation, and breathwork are the gateway practices to somatic practices and more embodiment.
  • Three somatic practices that you can incorporate into your daily life to regulate your nervous system. 
  • How not giving my loved ones unsolicited advice has changed my relationship with them and what an alternative suggestion is instead.


I’ll also touch on the importance of nurturing creativity, finding joy in the little things, and letting go of what’s out of your control. No matter where you are in life this episode is full of practical tips and inspiration to help you grow and thrive.


Cheers to finding more freedom and joy, 


Laurie
