  • E39: Confessions Of A Middle Aged Showgirl

    When I was 38 years old, already pressured by "time" I took it upon myself to take up burlesque despite the fact that I was well into my more traditional career. It was an adventure to be sure, but it also taught me a lot about agism - including my own. Which was a surprise to everyone, especially me.

  • E38: Are Your Affairs in Order ?

    It's not a fun thing to think about-but we need to. What would happen if you suddenly got ill  ? Did you have a Power of Attorney ? A Medical Proxy ? A Will ? A plan ? Or if you died today would you leave a mess behind for your loved ones to address ? 

    I admit-I'm 53, I had cancer, I was in a very serious car crash last year and I STILL don't have a will. I have a life insurance policy, but no documentation about what I would like done with both my physical body or my possessions. 

    Does this podcast episode "count" ? 

    Or should I suck it up and at least download a Will on legalzoom.com

  • E36: Diana Dunbar Place: It's Time For Your Third Act

    Diana Dunbar Place has a  40-year professional career that spans advertising,  a leadership role at America Online (AOL-Time Warner) and three entirely different entrepreneurial ventures. 

    Throughout her life, she has taken on mentor/advisor roles to a range of women as well as started several organizations including an angel network to serve and connect women.  For a variety of reasons, she never put this personal passion front and center.  Until now. 

    In her fifties, she found myself at powerful transition point.  Despite the coinciding emotional challenges surrounding a cancer diagnosis, closing  her latest entrepreneurial venture, and becoming an empty nester she was filled with deep gratitude, joy and reignited passion for this next phase of her life.

    She launched Third Act Quest to live her  passion supporting, inspiring and connecting  women. She is passionate about helping to reframe the experience and perception of aging for individuals, in the workplace and in our culture in general.

    Imagine if we got to reimagine what it means to grow older. 

    Our “third act” can be the most meaningful, exciting chapter in our life’s story.  Diana is here to lead the way

  • E34: Analog Girl In A Digital World

    Has technology "gotten out from under you ?" Sometimes, I can't even believe that I am able to successfully record, edit and add music to this podcast. I am not a tech girl. I keep a paper calendar and rely on it heavily. But you have to adapt. Or you become your inept parents who couldn't figure out their VCR clock-and really is that who you want to be ?

  • E33: Weaving Sacred Rituals: Igniting Your Midlife Magic

    Over the past decade, but louder in the past 5 years-more and more- I feel called towards spirituality and more specifically to ritual. As an unmarried, childless woman, the last time I was celebrated by community was when I was confirmed in the 7th grade. Why is it that we do not mark the passage of time in a more meaningful way other than the occasional birthday party ? Do you feel that you are missing out in this modern age of screens and more screens ? Do you long to connect in community and to celebrate the stages of your life ? Me too. Lets talk about it

  • E31: From Fear to Flow

    Sometimes we just get stuck and paralyzed with fear. What's at the root cause of this paralysis ? For me, it's always the fear that I am being judged.  When I examine it further-whose judgement do I fear the MOST ?  How do we put it down-for good ? Today I discuss some of my personal methods for finally finally FINALLY putting down my fears and allowing myself to step fully into the person I want to be.

  • E30: Rethinking Retirement

    Retirement may be going the way of the dodo bird. Are Gen X-ers ever going to be able to afford to retire ? Do we even WANT to retire ? Can you build a life from which you never want to retire from ? I am working on building my life's work-and these days 65 is still young. What if you could build a life that feels vital, exciting and expansive at 60, 65, 75 80 and beyond ? Put THAT on your vision board.
