“What I know for sure,” Oprah is always saying and sharing. I’m lucky that as a life coach I’m always on the lookout for "ah-ha" moments that give me a new outlook. I save sayings from “them”—the people I admire or just come across who have advice, a meaningful idea to live by, and something witty or even sarcastic to share that just hits home with me. Today is a round-up of these gems that I’ve saved over time with Siri’s help, on sticky notes or reminders in the cloud. Listen up and discove...
Today, uncover the “secret” tools I’ve been hinting at to support your transformation for a sizzling second act—that is, your best life yet—at midlife-plus. Last week I recapped the journey from hope to determination to creative play for the do-able reinvention you want; the one that taps into your hidden potential and frees you from limiting habits like people-pleasing and negative beliefs that don’t serve you. Most importantly from last week’s quick and easy wrap-up is the point connecting ...
Beginning with hope, moving into determination, and then taking up creative play, I’ve recently shared how to step into your best life ever at midlife-plus—in this “new identity” series of episodes. And soon we’ll tackle some innovative tools I like to think of as your “secret weapons.” But before we do, here’s some quick intel about connecting the dots from brainstorming an identity to pinning it down for your new, best life ever.Besides this podcast—I've got you covered with my latest self-...
In Part One of this podcast, Episode 74 last week, I introduced how the act of pretending or engaging in imaginative play—while often associated with children—can be an incredibly powerful tool for adults seeking life change and developing a new identity. But today we get to move from play as a tool to seek identity to actually using it as a powerful method to enact life changes and step into new, desired identity. It’s a doable, creative way for you to get going with excitement.Besides...
Pretending, or the act of imaginative play and visualization, can serve as a powerful tool for shaping your desired identity, especially if you have spent years focusing on others and often neglected your own aspirations. Yes! Pretending and play are the "work" of self development for childhood and well beyond. If you’re skeptical, try this—just start with an open mind observing little ones on a playground … and listen up to this episode!Besides this podcast—I've got you covered with my lates...
Reinvention and moving into a better life, your best life at midlife-plus, begins with your aspiration—knowing what you want to go after. As told in my last episode, hope is a mainstay and foundational for transformation. It’s necessary to change life for the better because hope provides the initial motivation and belief that improvement is possible. Without hope, you might not see any reason to strive for something better or believe that change is attainable. But today, as promised, I reveal...
Fresh-start Fall? Well, maybe this season you're stalled and just stuck. But today I’ve got hope for you … literally “hope.” “Hope is not an emotion; it's a belief that you have the ability to improve your circumstances", said Angela Duckworth, author of the best-selling book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverence. “When we feel that we have true agency,” she added, then “hope is the engine of resilience.” I’m explaining how hope—your hope—is a fundamental first step in the journey of re...
Ah … those feelings: your dominant, real, authentic feelings … the ones we talked about in the last episode, no. 70. They are the clues to what’s going on with you, from elation to depression to confusion. I can’t think of a better example or time of year to talk about this, using what most of us have heard of as “the empty nest” syndrome. Your children flying the coop out of high school, to college or a place of their own and a new job of their own, or even moving cross country for hea...
Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts—revealing them and changing them … well, that’s the magic key to reinvention at any age, says this life coach along with most of my colleagues. You’ve heard about unproductive thoughts over and over, but hearing it doesn’t make using the ‘’thoughts” keys easy. Thoughts can be pesky and elusive, and well worth capturing. But doing that isn’t necessarily the first, best step to launching your reinvention at midlife-plus. Today I talk briefly about meeting you where ...
