Lift As You Climb

The original recording and release of this episode took place in March, 2021. Now merely 4 months later... So much has changed and happened, that I felt it was time to re release this episode for you. Additionally, technology has provided us with better tools to improve. So we're updating this entire episode. This also gives me an opportunity to update you on the reason for this podcast.....

I am travelling for a month, visiting family, dear friends and colleagues in Canada, and spending some reflection time with Me, Myself and I.

I love road trips, and as a safe driver should, I frequently glance in the rearview mirror.

My attention doesn't linger there; just brief seconds to make be aware of what is behind me. But, at the same time, I see me and I have the opportunity to check in with me also.

Six months ago, I recorded the episode "Love Thy Selfie"...

What is your expiry date?

Seriously! Isn't that how society has planned it for us as women in our sixties and beyond, when we reach the “a certain age” stage, we are supposed to just go gently into that sweet night of obsolescence...

Alice in Wonderland isn’t the only one having trouble fitting into her circumstances and environment frequently. As a woman, evolving, transforming, and growing to fit the part for my next stage of life, business idea, personal reinvention or relationship change, I think I could write a sequel to Lewis Carroll’s story and title it “Womanhood Wonderland”...

If your nose is pressed to the glass, it’s impossible to see much, and at best, you have a distorted picture of your reality. 

You might even end up cross-eyed!

With a myopic or shortsighted view of your life, you literally cannot see the forest for the trees or anything else clearly...

I really had to drag my ass out of bed this morning. And that says something because I am a morning person. I do love waking up before the sun. I love beginning the day when it's quiet out there in the world, and I start to see the colors creeping into the sky. I think what am I going to do with this day, this time, this opportunity to grow again, evolve, live my life as an entrepreneur, as a woman who has many encores ahead of me?

Change Decoded – My System for Difficult Decisions

Often even when our circumstances, and our gut, tell us it is time, even absolutely necessary, to make a change, we struggle to make the decision and act on it. 

I developed a system to help me download and declutter all the confusion and fear; “false emotions appearing real”, and confidently make the choice that served me best...

Change Your Mind. Change Your Future. Change Your Attitude. Change Your Relationship. Change Your Relationship With Your Self. Change Your Paradigm. As women, we've been teased about changing our minds as easily as changing our hair color. The inference is, of course, that we make changes too easily, too often. I know this is not true. More often, we stay stuck with a choice, made with different expectations that are not or no longer realized. Change can be good. Change can be necessary...

Eyes wide shut. I refused to acknowledge the change that was coming at me like a freight train. I refused to take responsibility for my part in this change. I lied to myself that everything was just fine. Just a rough patch. Just temporary relationship growing pains. Not my idea. Not my choice. Not the right timing. Not the future I planned. Not the story I told myself...
