This week we're talking about how common it is in midlife to think about what you CAN'T do instead of what you CAN do. You'll also hear about the 50 Unplugged Mastermind, an amazing new coaching program to help you fall in love with your 50s and regret-proof your life!

Maybe you're almost 50, maybe you're in your 50s. Whatever your age, you're probably thinking about how old you are in some way or another. You may have even noticed that you're quite aware of your age and what it means for you…and it's not all positive.

Empty Nest Relocation! This week's Getting Real with Women in the Middle interview features Margaret Vandergriff, someone who turned her disastrous relocation experience into a business that helps people relocate with confidence and ease. Basically, she works with them to make sure they feel confident that they'll thrive in the new community of their dreams.

This week's Getting Real with Women in the Middle interview features Elaine Hoffman, someone who left a full-time institutional art environment to pursue making her own art full-time. It took several years to make the decision, but now that she's on the other side of it, she's thrilled she took the leap.

Elaine had a pretty traditional life. She had a job and raised her family. In order to do all of this, she sacrificed some things that were important to her too, which is no surprise to women in the middle! One of those things was making her own art. She was an artist, of course, but during those years, it wasn't anything she spent a lot of time on.

This week's Getting Real with Women in the Middle interview features Carol Molko, a talented, busy mom who discovered her career path again when she had an empty nest. Her nest emptied out in a drastic way too because she had four children really close in age; in fact, three of them were triplets.

Back in the day, Carol went to university and got a job related to her degree. Everything changed quickly, however, after she had triplets. With four children under two years old, she made the decision to stay home and be a full time mom.

This week's Getting Real with Women in the Woman interview features Leslie Ender, someone who moved to Austria in midlife and started a small group travel business. She did what many of us fantasize about - she moved to a foreign country and did something cool!

Moving abroad wasn't on her radar. She was quite busy dealing with her life. As her kids grew up, things became more difficult for her in several ways. Dealing with menopause was challenging; dealing with her empty nest wasn't smooth either. Leslie noticed she actually felt jealous when making college plans with her kids.
