Trinity and I are really focusing our attention on the idea of identity. So many of us in midlife go through the proverbial "Identity Crisis" where we feel lost, stuck and don't know who we are or where we're going.  Our guest today helps us to get beyond feeling stuck and teaches us to re-write our own stories by knowing our strengths and skills and applying them in new ways.

Gloria Coppola has been divorced, widowed, struggled through a narcissistic relationship, built a successful business while raising  2 kids only to be embezzled by a crooked accountant who took advantage of her while she was mourning the death of her husband. She has overcome, grown stronger and risen above it all.  She has healed from emotional and physical trauma and reinvented herself time and time and time again.  Gloria is proof to us women in midlife that the only limits we have are those limits that are self-imposed. She encourages us to own our own power, take control of our lives and get off our asses and make life happen. She reminds us that life, is what we make it and that power comes with inspired action. Ladies, you are in control of your own destinies, so get out there and make it happen.

In today's episode Gloria reminds us to: 

1. Know what you want to align with.
2. Take stock of the skills and capabilities you have.  Open your mind to how you can use these skills in other places and other ways to rise above your circumstances.
3. Focus on moving forward, don't look back
4. Learn to ask for help.
5. Take a true honest look at yourself in the mirror and OWN who you are.
6. Listen to and follow-through with your intuition because it will lead you to and prepare you for things to come.
