Yep! I turn 60 this year and all the things are

Yep! I turn 60 this year and all the things are going through my mind!
* Time is evaporating...
* Can I be sexy?
* Can I make an impact? How?
* How to stay healthy and fit?
* How to ensure that I have more than enough money to maintain my lifestyle into my 90's?
* Can I pack in more fun and adventure?
I know I'm not alone.

I also know that a lot of junk (ours and other people's junk) can clog our mental and emotional airwaves and detour us from what we really want.

Historically, middle-stage women have been more of an after-thought. Past our prime so we kind of pack-up our sense of relevance with our kids when they go to college. Or, with the box of personal affects when we retire from our careers. And therefore give others permission to make us an after-thought.

THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE CASE!

There's a new paradigm and I'm basing it on data that shows a woman's confidence reaches parity with her male counter parts by her mid-40's but surpasses them in her 60's!

I believe that mid-stage life (and beyond) has the potential to be our most amazing stage yet! Your lived experience has great value, especially if you know how to package and express it.

I know, it can be hard to see or imagine. But know this, if you have ANY aspirations stirring in your heart, this is the time to sort it out.

It took years to develop the process I use to derive clarity and a path forward for anything I want to do. But, I'll happily give you the first step which is believing that you can. Then make a list of, "what you wish was different in your life?" That's the beginning of the road map.

You’re way more powerful than you think. Consider of “victim mindset” keeping you worried, stuck, uncertain? You can move past it. We can move past it together. Put your favorite emoji in the comments below so we can get you on to your heart’s desire.💜🙌🏽

Listen past your normal objections - “Ooh, I don’t have the time”, “…is that even possible”, “pfft…real world please…. “ And then answer the question. If your answer is anything from “that’d be nice” to “hell yeah”, put a 💜 in the comments. If you’re a little curious put a 💜 in the comments.

The reality is, if you don’t feel like you have

The reality is, if you don’t feel like you have the time, money or talent to pause your daily duties to consider your dreams - you won’t. But you’re also likely to feel like a victim. You CAN ABSOLUTELY move beyond this, no matter the starting point. DM me or put a comment below if you want to know more.

What are your TV and movie moods telling you? The soul is constantly talking to us.

Did this question trigger you? Confuse you? Well, what is something that you want? Why don’t you have it yet? Now, notice what comes up for you.

I ask myself this question a lot; not to beat myself up, but to highlight any place where I may have limiting beliefs. Yes, there are some legit reasons why you may not have “it” yet, because pretty much everything is a process - requiring time, talent, and/ or treasure. But, there are also some, not helpful, mindset things that may be creating inertia like - “I can’t…”, “I don’t know enough…”, “They are not likely to work with me…”, “I can’t stop to do that now…”

Are the things that come up related to doubt or fear? Those things need exploration because usually they are not true and have solutions, but you must be willing to look at them.

I’ve a new 30-day program launching in March that is designed to clarify and re-energize the vision and pathway to your “it”. DM me to learn more.

Repost from @oprahdaily . Oprah’s on the train! She knows this is our most powerful stage. She’s celebrating turning 69!🎉 Let’s talk about it! Let’s talk about creating your powerful “what’s next” . This Saturday the 18th at 10aCT I’m hosting a free live conversation. The link to register is in the bio.

What’s next for you? Are you feeling any of thes

What’s next for you? Are you feeling any of these things?
* Like you've been "quietly quitting" (..for years)
* Accomplished but empty - like you want to make an impact or do “something” more
* As if you're sitting in a restless void now that you’re an empty nester with time on her hands
* Stretched to the limit - one more thing and you’ll snap
* Like the life is being sucked out of you by people or things you’re not crazy about
* Like you're on numb autopilot - just going through the motions each day

You're not alone! And life doesn't have to feel like that. We'll be talking about how you can bring more of these things into your life:

• Space and breathing room
• Magic and excitement
• Higher quality relationships

We’re going to dig into this! I want to hear from you; What is challenging you? What you want more of? What do you want to create?

Someone recently said to me, “You’re great, but I’m not that.” There were things that they admired about me but didn’t see in themselves. Despite wanting to be inspiring, I was hearing that I my apparent accomplishments were not exactly relatable. This is interesting because all I want to do is support others in expressing themselves fully in the world - their way. I am challenged each day to practice alignment - I’m definitely better at it on some days, than others.

Know this, we don’t resonate with something in another person that is not inherently present in us. Amplify it in yourself. Sent in love, with love 💜

You decide. Your perspective colors everything.

You decide. Your perspective colors everything.

None of us will get through life without challenges- some serious challenges - health, financial, relationship, career… but how we navigate them is up to us.

At one time I was on a hard core alkaline food plan. My lunch was salad greens, chopped cauliflower and broccoli, kidney beans with olive oil and lemon dressing. In the beginning it was noxious. Chewing that combo seemed to turn it into this awful paste… even now the thought makes me scowl. It was like this for the first few weeks. (Could I just have some carrots, bell peppers?🥹) It took me over an hour to finish. Then… I remembered why I CHOSE to follow the plan - I wanted great health. And when I acknowledged my power in it, and that my attitude about it was a choice, everything relaxed - my anxiety, my disgust, my suffering. And that’s when inspiration had the space to move in! I lightly steamed the veggies, chopped them into tiny pieces, added fresh herbs to the dressing and created little sautéed bean patties. YUM.

You see I hadn’t been in a receiving space. We have to create the space for inspiration to arrive - we have to invite it, welcome it and that’s hard to do when you’re focused on everything that’s wrong. And wrong was all I could think about as I prepped my lunch each day. The food plan was challenging but I made it monstrous because of my perspective. You have all the power in your perspective. Remember why you made the choice.

It can be done. But, without great filters our lives can get filled with muck.

We need new filters.

As the ones tasked with “getting it done” we tend to want to control the outcome - all the time.

That needs to stop.

As kind, caring people, we say “Yes” to those who ask us.

Some of this will stay, but some of it can go.

I’m getting together some people who want to create a little guilt-free “me time” in the midst of their crazy-full lives. (Without abandoning responsibilities) If this sounds interesting to you put a note or a 💜in the comments.

It’s time to catch your breath! You’ve been handling “all the things” for much of your life. It’s your turn. And you can do it without guilt or being irresponsible. Let me know if this is you and you want to know more in the comments. (An emoji works too!💜)

I’m delighted to be featured in the HBS Alumni Magazine. I can’t believe how much time has passed, one thing is clear, HBS absolutely contributed to who I have become. I cannot imagine another graduate business experience. Some of my life-long friends have emerged from that experience. I’m grateful. Full article link in bio. @harvardhbs @hbsalumni

We all know hard.
So why do we continue to work hard in unsatisfying situations when we could work hard at something that could be extraordinary?

You get to decide where to place your effort.

“Shoulds…”,
* “I should go to the gym…”
* “I should take this to them…”
* “I should call them…”
We use them so casually, without recognizing the true sentiment of obligation embedded within. The problem is the implied obligation. Doing something because you “have to” as opposed to “wanting” to.
Consider,
* “I want to go to the gym…”
* “I want to take this over to them…”
* “I want to call them…”
It’s a subtle but stunning difference. There is a lightness, and openness in the second set.

Should-Obligations can be inherited (ie women do the cooking), required (ie work) or coerced; but they’re not inherently ours. When we “want” to do something, even if it was suggested or required, the experience will be very different.

Should-Obligations drain our energy, “Wants” tend to fill us up. The more “shoulds” you have, the greater the drain on you and the lower the quality of your experience.

So ditch as many of the “shoulds” as you can and make space for more of what you “want” (like helicopter rides.)
