EP 131: Taking the Time you Need to Recharge with Denise Millet

Are you feeling the pressure of trying to get it all done? Many of us in midlife feel overwhelmed and burned out from trying to balance our work and personal lives. In this episode we’ll be discussing how to slow down in order to speed up, and get off the hamster wheel of life.

Joining me is my friend Denise Millet, a Marketing Technology Specialist and host of the weekly show “Marketing Matters”. 

 

She’ll be sharing how she learned the hard way that grinding and not getting enough rest was actually making her sick. She ignored the signs until she couldn’t anymore.

 

After taking a year to recover, she now runs her own business on her own terms helping entrepreneurs and business owners make sure their websites, blogs, and podcasts are findable on search engines.

 

Join us to hear Denise share her inspiring story and how she is now able to make her work fit her lifestyle now rather than the other way around.

EP 130: Embracing Your Best Self: A Midlife Journey to Self-Love

Have you ever taken the time to ask yourself if your inner monologue supports you?  Have you noticed that your self talk is actually trash talk that brings you down?  In this episode of the podcast, we’ll be exploring the idea of self-love and self-criticism, and how we can start to shift our mindset to be more compassionate and kind to ourselves. Join us as we dive into the topic and learn how to be more accepting of ourselves as we get older. We’ll discuss the importance of self-care and how to develop healthier habits in midlife and beyond.

Jeremy Grater and Zach Tucker are co-hosts of The Fit Mess podcast.  Both Jeremy and Zach have experienced a major shift in the way they deal with their physical, mental and emotional health. They have since pushed themselves to learn more about how to get and stay healthy in mind, body and spirit.  Their personal journeys inspired in them a passion for using their hard earned knowledge to help others via their podcast where they have had the opportunity to speak to a wide range of guests, including some of the biggest names in health and wellness.  Later in our conversation, we dive into talking about the concept of midlife and the fear of aging.  When you’re in your 30s or early 40s it can feel like this looming thing.

EP 126: Are You Lost or Are You Finding Your Way? with Beth Keil

My guest Beth Kiel says she moved to Tucson at the age of 56 to be sandblasted (although she didn’t know that at the time.)  What she means is she’d lost all her comfortable reference points. The process of feeling lost and then finding our way is actually a great way to truly learn something about ourselves. Beth is an RN and board certified Hypnotist.  She loves the process of helping others find themselves and she is a woman who embraces the growth that comes with change.

EP 124: New Year... New You?

New Year Replay 

Reinvention: It’s not about changing yourself… It’s about changing how you think about yourself.  

 

You are already amazing!  You are already powerful beyond your imagination.  If you set your intentions every day you will be amazed at what starts to happen.  Your brain will go to work for you.  You will start to find evidence for your “shiny new thoughts” which will reinforce them and give you energy and motivation to take new action… to try something different… to try something new.

EP 122: A 76 Year Old Fashion Model on a Mission with Carolyn Doelling

Carolyn Doelling started modeling at the age of 70.  After retiring from her corporate career she realized that people’s perception of her had changed.  She felt like she was being written off.  She started embracing more color and style in her wardrobe in order to combat the invisibility of being an older woman and found herself on a mission.  She is now 76 years old and through her work as a fashion model, she encourages women to embrace their style, grace and power at any age. She is also a kick-boxer, speaker and a writer.  Her goal is to have a direct positive impact on the general perceptions of aging and to dismantle the beauty standards presented in the fashion industry and advertising today.
