Anne is a mother, writer and philanthropist. Together we talk honestly and unflinchingly about what brought her to co-found the Unexpected Project, a 100% volunteer-led non-profit that shares the stories of those who survived (or lost someone who did not) a harrowing complication in pregnancy.  This is a conversation where we quickly go deep into Anne's experience and what she's learned from others along the way while also continuing the Unexpected Project, working on a documentary, and writing a book. Anne also shares her desire to spread the word to remove stigma and shame that many mothers feel after such experiences. Her dedication and passion to keep helping others through difficult times is bold and inspiring.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Contact Anne: anne@anne-garrett.com Website: http://anne-garrett.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annegarrettaddison/ RESOURCE FB GROUPS & WEBSITES  Facebook groups mentioned: Unexpected Project: https://www.facebook.com/UnexpectedProject/ Maternal Near-Miss Survivors: https://www.facebook.com/groups/458028877729236 End Preeclampsia Now: https://www.facebook.com/EndPreeclampsiaNow/ Preeclampsia Foundation: https://www.facebook.com/PreeclampsiaFoundation Preeclampsia, Eclampsia, & HELLP Syndrome Survivors Global Support Network: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2214545005 AFE (Amniotic Fluid Embolism) Foundation: https://www.facebook.com/amnioticfluidembolism 4Kira4Moms:  https://www.facebook.com/4kira4moms Save the Mommies: https://www.facebook.com/SaveTheMommies 20/20 Mom, Visionaries for the Future of Maternal Mental Health: https://www.facebook.com/2020Mom Websites: Amniotic Embolism:  https://www.afesupport.org/what-is-amniotic-fluid-embolism/ 4Kira4moms:  https://4kira4moms.com/ SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN #ICOUNT - go to this page for more information --> http://anne-garrett.com/icount

Exciting news about a fun addition to the podcast this season. First episode launches Thursday, November 4, 2021

This brief bonus episode talks a little about how perfectionism can keep you from being, well, you. 

Hello Listener! While I'm taking a short break from publishing, I'm happily working on new episodes for Season 3. This episode is making a reappearance and is one of the most popular from the 1st season. Enjoy and thanks for listening!

After the last episode I was reminded that there's another way people stop themselves from taking action. Inside the episode I share what that way is and two reasons it might be showing up. I also share a couple of questions I use to help uncover why that particular way is showing up and how to work with it, instead of being upset and stuck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is also the last episode for Season 2. I'll be on a short break while I work on new episodes and a slightly different format for Season 3. Between now and the new season I'll share a few popular episodes from the first season of my podcast - keep your eyes open for those! Want to stay in touch and not miss a thing? 1) Follow me on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/kristaoverly/ 2) If you like receiving a newsletter occasionally, sign up for mine here: https://mailchi.mp/77639a77317b/krista-overly Until next time, take good care and have a bolder day!

In this episode I share the three main ways I see people stop themselves. I talk about both the helpful and unhelpful aspects of those ways, and how to work with turning around the unhelpful reactions back to helpful ones. Here are the questions I mentioned at the end that you can ask yourself: Why do I want to do this? 2. What do I love about (doing) it? 3. How can I "disrupt" this unhelpful viewpoint? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: There are quite a few reasons why you might be stopping yourself from taking action, including PTSD and CPTSD. If you think your inability to take action may be due to trauma I encourage you to seek a qualified mental health professional for care. PTSD = Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder CPTSD = complex PTSD I'll refer you to this medically-reviewed article which explains in more detail what can lead to either condition and when you may want to seek help. https://www.insider.com/cptsd-vs-ptsd Thanks for listening and if you want to reach out to me directly send me a message at:  krista@kristaoverly.com Do you want to join my email list?

In this episode Krista shares what she's learned and been working on over the past year. Why now? It's her birthday month and she likes the opportunity to reflect and look ahead at this time. We'd love to hear what you've been working on - feel free to email your experiences and learning to: krista@kristaoverlycoaching.com

Feeling urgency to make a decision? Or has overwhelm got you frantically making choices?  Let's take a few minutes to talk about slowing down - just a little. 

In this episode I share something I've been noticing and working through in my life: the Either/Or Trap of cyclical thinking. I explain: What the Either/Or Trap is and how it shows up for me and some of my clients. What typically keeps you stuck in the binary of only two answers to a situation or problem. How my clients and I have worked through the challenge of only seeing two answers and finding more possible options. The tool and process I use to help move out of the cyclical Either/Or thought loop and into more choice.  The book I referenced: "Questions Are The Answer" by Hal Gregersen.  If you want to let me know how this tool worked out for you, feel free to write me at: krista@kristaoverlycoaching.com  

Trying the new, the different, or the unique often leads to seeking plans, advice, and input from others. But when you're creating a brand-new path you'll need to call up belief and courage. In this shorter episode I share a recent experience I've been going through and how an article I happened to see helped me realize that "winging it" is my best option. If you're currently "winging it" I'd love to hear how you're handling it. Feel free to drop me a line at: krista@kristaoverlycoaching.com.

Why do some of us still need 'permission' to wear an outfit, try a new hobby, stop coloring our hair, etc.? Is this you now, or are you working through getting past wanting someone else's approval? Then this episode is for you. I talk about: Why needing permission may still show up for you. Why you don't need anyone else's "permission" or approval. And, how to start letting that need go with small experiments.  **There's at least one swear word in this episode, hence the Explicit rating. 

Being 50+ years is often the moment when you realize you have an opportunity to move out of the groove and grow into a new version of you. But what if you don't know exactly what you want that to be? In this episode I share three questions that may help stir up some ideas for you. I invite you to share your answers with me over on my Instagram post this week, @kristaoverly, or you can email them to me: krista@kristaoverlycoaching.com I'd love to hear what you come up with for yourself! 

Last week at end of the episode i mentioned that I was going to share how to make being bold a bit more fun. I wanted to share this with you because : I had my own ideas of what fun was, and it wasn't being bold My own definition of being a bolder woman wasn't very positive For a long part of my own life I was a people pleaser which, A. wasn't fun, and B, wasn't bold, and it kept me from being bold. I'm also sharing a few tips to help with bringing more fun and enjoyment to experimenting with and taking bolder action. Here's the link to the YouTube video I mentioned about the person dancing at a music festival: https://youtu.be/9_xIoJzZtKg Want to share your experiences trying one of these tips? I'd love to read about it. Send me an email:  krista@kristaoverlycoaching.com I look forward to hearing from you! 

What does it mean to become bolder? Why is that important for your 50s and beyond? How can you start becoming bolder today? In this episode I talk about: * the definition of boldness * why it's important to create the life you want now and in the future * what to expect and how to work with the discomfort of being more bold * how taking a small action step helps you become a little bolder And...I have a small challenge for you at the end of the episode. To tell me how your challenge works out, go to my Instagram and let me know how it went:  @kristaoverly 

As a woman in my 50s I've learned that designing my next 50 years is going to require more BOLDNESS. It's a quality that doesn't always come naturally, but when I show up with boldness my life feels more alive and satisfying. I soon realized I wasn't the only woman challenged with being bolder, so I decided to share my journey with you. In this podcast I'll share the path I've been on, what I'm learning now, and conversations I'm having with other women who are living a bold life now and well into the years to come. I invite you to join me in exploring and being part of the movement toward being Older and Bolder.

Today I’m sharing about what happened as I began working on a new podcast and how my purpose and plans for it changed. From there I share about life purpose - how you’ll know your purpose, and what having purpose means for the midlife years.

Today I share why I think it’s never too late and you’re not too old to try something new. I even tell you a honeymoon story - and it’s totally “G”rated.

Today I share why we have negative self-talk, why it’s trying to keep us stuck, and how you can turn down the volume of that negativity to listen to your wise voice.

What we often call a midlife crisis may not be what that definition means. Listen in as I define and invite you to consider a different view.

In this episode I share about the Wake Up Call many women experience as they enter midlife. The realization that things aren’t working the same as they used to and why that feeling shows up.

In this first episode we’re introducing the podcast, the host, Krista Overly, and what we’ll be talking about in the episodes to come.
