Give Yourself Permission

Welcome to Episode #89 of the Blue Rose podcast.

This week we chat about giving yourself permission. The difference between how women bet on Jeopardy versus men.

Especially, you see, women over 50. Women born before 1985 did not have many, if any, options in the workplace.

The workplace was opening to women, and if they needed or wanted to work, they took what they could get. And at a considerably lower wage.

That theme followed them throughout their career. They may have climbed to the corporate ladder and, in the event, made it to the C-suite, but the journey was arduous.

Many battles were waged, such as lower pay, longer hours, and if they had children, many left the workplace.

Not because they wanted to but because the work hours and page did not make it conducive to women. When they returned, they had to work harder to get back in.

Many did and were successful.

Then their 50,55, or 60th birthday arrived. Retirement looming. The question of what’s next begins. With each passing year, this little voice grows louder and louder.

For many, this is the first time they choose what they want to do in their next 2-30 years. Money, family obligations, and husbands’ careers are no longer the driving force.

These women get to decide what makes their heart sing. However, and it’s big, so many don’t know the answer to Who am I and What do I WANT TO DO?

They never had time to answer the most fundamental questions. Until now.

This is where I come in. I help women develop the Courage to look within. Begin asking themselves some hard yet long overdue questions about what is happening with their soul.

Seeking Clarity is the next area to be explored. If there is no clarity on what they want to do, churning and burning occur. The merry-go-round of doubt. (I know what you may be thinking, and yes, successful women often get cause on the merry-go-round. Why? Many different fears kick in. But more on this later.)

Asking permission is a part of the path to success for women over 50. This was taught in childhood and carried on throughout their life… until now.

Permit Yourself to start your new beginnings and limitless possibilities by telling a more empowering story.
