Life Makeovers

As a previous subscriber to the My Midlife Makeover Podcast, you're invited to join me as a subscriber to The Kindness Principles™  Podcast where we will explore returning kindness to the workplace, learning institutions, places of worship, our families, and our daily lives.

This is Part 2 of the Linkedin Wellness in the Workplace Series and this episode brings us great ideas to create a collective sense through the KINDNESS Code™. This results in everyone winning both the employee and the organization. For further info about how this method can enhance your workplace productivity, contact Cindy Smarsh on Linkedin https://www.Linkedin.com/in/TheKindnessCode  or at cindy@cindydwhitmer.com

“We are in the business of instilling kindness as a foundational cultural strategy within organizations, reaching 10 million people globally to cultivate healthier relationships, enhance workplace well-being, and drive collective success." Cindy dives deep into: Why kindness matters in today’s corporate environment. The neuroscience and research behind kindness — it’s not just “fluff”. The full Kindness Code acronym (KINDNESS) and practical, actionable ways to integrate each principle at work. Inspiring real-life stories illustrating the impact of kindness on teams, customers, and corporate culture. Proven benefits: from improved morale and retention to measurable business success. If you’re a leader, team member, or simply someone looking to make your workplace (and world) a little kinder, this podcast is packed with insights, step-by-step tips, and inspirational stories.

Today Cindy walks you through an activity to reflect on the past year so you can begin to visualize what hopes, dreams, and changes you want in 2025. She explains the importance of celebrating your successes while acknowledging those areas you wish had gone differently and teaches the simple difference between endings and beginnings. Knowing setting goals or resolutions is not effective for most people, she shares her simple approach for starting a new year. _____________ Chapters 01:49 What Is A Year End Review? 04:18 Progress, Joys, & Wins 12:16 Endings 14:05 Beginnings 15:44 Hopes, Dreams, or Changes 17:22 Reflection 20:47 One Step ____________________________________________________ Register for my FREE Masterclass called, “How to Love Yourself Fully & Live on Your Terms in Midlife without Guilt” here: https://cindydwhitmer.com/loveyourself To schedule a FREE Mid-Life Strategy Session with me, head to ⁠http://timewithcindy.com⁠ to book your 30 minute call.

Today Cindy talks with Sue Brightman, best-selling author, coach & consultant who interviewed 100 women over 50 and shared the results in her book, A Call to Further Becoming:  The New Declaration from Women Over 50. Ms. Brightman defines Adulthood II, the importance of contribution, the beauty of sisterhood, and what it means to “blast out of the water” as we age. Think you are being selfish doing what you want? Think again. Ms. Brightman clarifies the positive ripple effect of experimenting with the new, feeling the freedom to be yourself, and the concept of “Done With That” as part of a recipe for further becoming.  Sue Brightman. Author, Women’s Leadership Coach, Conscious Business Consultant.  Sue Brightman is here to help women respond to their highest calling in the world. Blasting out of the water worn-out narratives about women over 50 and supporting the new emerging century of women's leadership, Sue's research, writing, and services are aimed at shifting the balance of humanity's direction through affirmation and support of women. With 30 years as a Conscious Business consultant and organizational change expert to company giants such as Shell, General Motors, Huffington Post, Pulitzer Newspapers and giants in the tech, healthcare, and services industries, Sue pivoted her work to focus on the breakthrough new tracks being laid down by women. After interviewing 100 women in Adulthood II and identifying key themes at this stage, Sue wrote an Amazon best-selling book "A Call to Further Becoming: The New Declaration from Women Over 50." Given the evolutionary shift to which it points, she provides affirmation, information, and encouragement for women over 50 and emerging women who feel the tremendous promise in challenging work/life transitions. Sue offers workshops, group and one-on-one retreats, and is a coach to women of all ages who are being called to expand, express, and lead in new ways.  _______________________ Chapters 02:56 Blasting Out of the Water 03:48 Adulthood II 05:07 Disorientation vs. Excitement 09:05 Contribution 11:31 Retirement: A Shift vs. An End 11:47 Selfishness, Guilt, & Inspiration 15:32 Experimenting / Freedom 19:38 Done With That 22:19 Sisterhood 26:33 Loneliness & Scanning 20:12 Lynne Twist & “The Prophecy of the Bird of Humanity” 34:32 Leaving A Legacy 35:06 Further Becoming  ________________________ To schedule a FREE Mid-Life Strategy Session with me, head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://timewithcindy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to book your 30 minute call.
