What would a tarot card reader need to say for you to make a seismic change in your life? For Rachel Lloyd, the tarot card reader said exactly what she had been thinking-quietly and privately. Hearing the words out loud was the catalyst that Rachel needed to make the huge decision to leave her job when she was at the absolute top of her career. Rachel didn't leave for another corporate opportunity or even another career path. She left to breathe and to think, to be present-a true midlife sabbatical. I can't wait for you to hear Rachel's story. I am sure it will undoubtedly inspire you to take a good hard look at your own life. I know it has for me.  Speaking of doing something bold and amazing...This is the LAST week to reserve a space and join a group of amazing midlife women on a small group, boutique trip to Guatemala. We will climb an active volcano, stroll the UNESCO protected streets of colorful Antigua, have lunch with a Mayan family, visit a 150-year-old coffee farm, meet with an industrious group of female entrepreneurs, take a boat ride on the most majestic lake in the world, and more.

Shame, guilt, fear…these are just some of the emotions that unconsciously come up for people when they think about money. Our feelings about money are so rooted in our formative years. Today on the podcast, Aspiriant partners Sandi Bragar and Cammie Doder are encouraging us to have more candid conversations about money. I loved hearing Sandi and Cammie share their “money tales”, and I talk too about my personal scarcity mindset that stems from my childhood where money was indeed scarce. Women especially have missed out on having a seat at the table and being part of the money conversation. Today we are welcoming more women to join in on the money conversation. Truth be told money is knowledge-and it is also power. Most importantly, it’s a tool. It’s a tool to have freedom and to live out your dreams. Combined Sandi and Cammie have 35 years+ of professional finance experience and they are also the hosts of the podcast Money Tales where intimate money conversations are happening each week with their guests.

Tori's story is the perfect reminder that purpose and passion are not stagnant. They ebb and flow and sometimes change. There's not one life purpose or one life passion. There are many. Tori shares how she went from a successful career in musical theater to a passionate yoga instructor.

Tori prides herself in helping people take their yoga practice to the next level.  Listen in to her inspiring and layered story.  Find Tori:  Website: Yoga with Tori Hicks-Glogowski / Meet Me on Your Mat Online Studio Facebook: Meet Me on Your Mat / Yoga with Tori Hicks-Glogowski | Facebook Instagram: Yoga with Tori Hicks-Glogowski (@meetmeonyourmat.yoga) • Instagram photos and videos YouTube: Yoga with Tori Hicks-Glogowski - YouTube

There's no way you won't relate to this conversation if you are a woman in midlife. Jill Hoel will instantly feel like your best friend who's stopped over for coffee-No topic is off limits. We talk about midlife health, the decade-long plague of perimenopause, shifting roles of motherhood in midlife, and starting new things in this second chapter.  Somedays you feel like you have it all together, that you are killing it, and other days you just want to stay in bed watching Netflix. I think we can all agree that midlife is an incredibly reflective time in our lives as well as a gosh darn roller coaster.  Jill also shares her history of infertility, adoption, and her child's autism diagnosis. She encourages us to look at our To Do List and instead of tackling it, scratch some things off it. Let them go!  Tune into this incredibly real conversation on midlife--and life.  Find Jill: ALEYA Physical Therapy & Wellness (aleyawellness.com) Upbeat Indie Folk  LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

“It was never about what I wanted. It was always about what others wanted.” If you can relate to this sentiment, you will especially appreciate Laura Enzor’s story today.  Coming from a family of 13, Laura often had to put her dreams aside and that carried her into her adult life where she made many sacrifices, wearing a badge of super woman along the way. Those sacrifices however, did lead Laura on a life of adventure that took her to living in three different countries all while raising a daughter and fostering a marriage. Reinvention became a theme throughout Laura’s life as she learned to pivot and grow and rise above all of her obstacles, including a debilitating diagnosis of Lyme disease. Reinvention would circle back to Laura’s life in a most positive way in midlife as she became a certified reinvention coach. Laura now helps other women in midlife repurpose their power and connect with their creative spirit. Listen in to this week’s inspiring episode that just may lead to your midlife reinvention.

Have you heard of financial infidelity? How about financial abuse? Whether you're married, headed for divorce or in the process of getting a divorce, you don’t want to miss listening to forensic accountant and fraud expert, Tracy Coenen. Tracy felt drawn to helping women without making them feel ashamed about any lack of money knowledge. Too often women are not aware of their family’s financial picture. Tracy’s seen money being hidden, money used to control a spouse, and downright fraud. Sometimes it's not about an unethical spouse. More often it is simply that a woman doesn't know how much they have in savings, how much the mortgage is, or what investments have been made and suddenly they need to understand it. Tracy shows you where and how to start.  Not only is this a fascinating listen, but it’s educational and just might help you or someone you know. Tracy has a brand-new Divorce Money Guide to help you find money, feel empowered, and become financially informed.

Nancy Alvarado could have never known when she joined the Peace Corps in her early 20's that it would become the most influential catalyst in her life. There she met her husband, found a community among the women in a rural village and developed a lifelong relationship with Costa Rica, its culture and most importantly it's people. Many years later at the age of 45, Nancy goes back to this same village to build a brick oven. She sees how this brick oven transforms not only a family's life but an entire community. Inspired by the first one's success, Nancy and her team of volunteers decide to build another one. And from there, Bricks to Bread was born. Nancy talks about how she wakes up and cannot wait to get to work at her non-profit. She shares how starting Bricks to Bread turned her midlife crisis into her midlife "lovefest." This episode will inspire you. It will remind you that it is never to let to step fully into your purpose.
