Have you ever looked in the mirror and asked “Who Am I Now”? As Baby Boomers, we’ve been so busy ‘adulting’ and keeping up with expectations for decades, it is not surprising that we lose touch with ourselves as we evolve and change over time. Growth, transformation, and reinvention with a purpose and a plan are essential to a fulfilled life. Each Wednesday, Isabel Alexander, self-proclaimed Mistress of Reinvention, unpacks her personal evolution system, Lift As You Climb, and engages guests to share their Ah-Ha moments of recognizing their evolved, authentic selves. Be inspired by others who embrace “This is who I am now!” and choose who they want to become next as they love their life and live their legacy. This podcast celebrates Identity, Influence and Impact at every age and every stage of life!

episode 13: Original Gangster with Linda Lundström
From earliest childhood, Linda observed people and the environment around her with deep respect for beauty and sustainability. The little girl who grew up in a remote mining community in Canada went on to become an international model, designer and fashion icon, celebrated leader, and instigator for positive change.
The purchase of a Linda Lundström “LaParka” was a reward for achievement of goals that I and many Baby Boomer femmepreneurs prioritized as a milestone. Linda was more than a fashion brand for us, she was a role model as a businesswoman and passionate leader, champion for vulnerable populations and conservationist.
Linda is the essence of Lift As You Climb and at age 70, she continues to set standards to follow about embracing change, writing a new script, and starring in the next stage of your life!
In this episode, we explore how we learned and reinforced the values of gratitude and helping others. We share our thoughts on the joys of lifelong learning and being open to teachers from all generations, even our own children.
