She Leads Confidently
Friends see Your Greatness.
When in doubt ask a friend.
Women in mid-life never fully see their potential. Always underestimating what their talents are while overestimating their weaknesses. I have my theory about why but that could be a podcast for another day. 😉
However, if you ask your friends, they will take 30 minutes to sing your praises. talking about all your accomplishments and minimizing areas you may be less gifted.
At a certain point, women begin to wonder What’s Next. What business would best suit their skill set? What would be their perfect niche? What would make you the happiest while making money? If you are not sure ask a friend.
Each person has a special gift. One unique to themselves. Your journey through this life is finding your niche, having the courage and confidence to step into your power. It’s time to discover what your one thing is and then celebrate with your friends. Wearing a mask and socially distancing, of course.

The Choice
Embrace the Possible
The Choice: Embrace the Possible by Dr. Edith Eger is a life-changing book. After reading this book, my first thought was, what do I have to complain about, ever? Dr. Eger is a survivor of the Auschwitz Concentration camp. Also known as Hell on Earth.
This book is not all about her time at the camp but more focused on recovery. She intersperses stories of her patients she counsels as part of her journey. The stories are impactful and cause the reader to get involved. Look for themselves in each of her stories and evaluate if they need to heal.
Dr. Eger never asks people to feel sorry for her. She never seems filled with hate towards her captors. When she returns to Auschwitz, the reader walks with her as she processes all she went through.
My takeaway from the book? If she can overcome being in ‘hell’ for over a year in her life, what’s my excuse?

Epi 28 ‘What’s Next’ in Your 2nd Act
What are you going to do next in your retirement?
Women, through the years, took jobs that fit with their skill sets and child care responsibilities. Many studied nursing, teaching, or more administrative positions. It was the sign of the times 30 plus years ago. Very few opportunities were available.
After spending the past 30-40 years in the workplace, this group of women are thinking of and preparing to retire. Move on to their What’s Next. Trying to decide for possibly the first time in their life what they want to do. Finally, able to follow their dreams. Lend a voice to their inner hero.
What to do next is the question. Start their own business? Travel the world? But will their retirement hold out? What better way to control their future than by starting their own business!
