Join me as I sit down with the incredible Tracy Neely, an Evolutionary Healer, Intuitive Life Coach, and Human Design Guide who's igniting transformational shifts for heart-centered coaches, healers, and women entrepreneurs.

Tracy, our illuminated guide, has a unique gift: she peers into the hearts of women, illuminating the paths to clarity and purpose. In our captivating interview, Tracy shared her profound insights on navigating the labyrinth of self-awareness and how it translates into tangible success.

🌿 **Rediscovering Self: The Blueprint for Triumph** 🌿

As we explored the tapestry of Tracy's wisdom, one truth resonated deeply: success blooms from the soil of self-remembrance. Tracy's mission is clear - to help women return to the core of who they are, creating a sturdy foundation for their flourishing businesses and lives.

💬 "Centering on myself, curating a life that nurtures every facet of my being - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual - has been the key," Tracy affirmed when we discussed midlife and its transformative potential.

🎙️ **Speaking Your Truth: A Dance of Energy and Expression** 🎙️

Tracy unveiled a revelation that's both empowering and enlightening: the energy of our words intertwines with our reality. Yet, Tracy advises us not to stifle our expressions.

In the wake of the pandemic, our healthcare system's vulnerabilities were laid bare, exposing a pressing need for affordable medical care, particularly as the Baby Boomer generation continues to age. The escalating costs of healthcare have pushed countless Americans to the edge of financial ruin and beyond. The crucial question that arises is whether there exists a solution to address these systemic issues.

Join me in this captivating podcast as I engage in an enlightening conversation with the esteemed Dr. Bill Bronston, delving into the depths of our healthcare system's challenges and exploring potential options for a brighter future.

Dr. Bronston, a passionate advocate for healthcare reform and social justice, has dedicated his life to serving others. Born in 1939 in Los Angeles, he grew up in a family connected to the film industry and had a deep-seated desire to care for people from an early age. In 1961, he enrolled at USC Medical School, drawn to its reputation for clinical medicine and a desire to serve the underprivileged. However, he soon became disillusioned with the mechanistic and impersonal approach to medicine he encountered in his studies.

Inspired by the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War protests, Dr. Bronston became an activist and organized medical, nursing, and dental students across the nation under the banner of the "Student Health Organization." Their goals included advocating for a socialized healthcare system, supporting the civil rights movement, and demanding curriculum changes in professional schools to incorporate a culture of care and progressive medical values.

As a conscientious objector, Dr. Bronston pursued his psychiatric residency at the Menninger School of Psychiatry in Topeka State Hospital. During this time, he played a pivotal role in organizing an American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) union, leading to a union job action that gained administrative control of all Eastern mental health hospitals in 1968.

Relocating to New York, Dr. Bronston immersed himself in various activist movements, including the Black Panther Party, the women's movement led by Gloria Steinem, and the struggle against the Vietnam War. He also became involved with disability rights activists, working to connect their cause with the broader anti-institutional agenda. In 1970, he served as a clinical physician at Willowbrook State School, an institution for individuals with intellectual disabilities, where he exposed and helped shut down inhumane conditions through a federal class action lawsuit.

Returning to California in 1975, Dr. Bronston assumed the role of medical director for the Department of Developmental Services and Department of Rehabilitation Services for the state, a position he held for over two decades.

In the present day, Dr. Bronston remains committed to the ongoing pursuit of justice. He expresses deep concern over the current state of medical education, emphasizing the corporate influence, mounting costs, and burdensome debt that hinder doctors from engaging in community service. He strongly believes that healthcare should not be a commodity for sale, denouncing the current system as one that prioritizes profit over personalized and affordable care.

Despite the opposition from the insurance industry, pharmaceutical companies, and hospital cartels, Dr. Bronston is confident that the single-payer movement will prevail. He argues that people are increasingly aware of these entities being adversaries and the need for universal access to the remarkable advances in healthcare and medical research. Dr. Bronston envisions a radical change occurring within the next decade, driven by a transformational shift in the pursuit of human rights throughout history, rather than a gradual evolution.

Are you "living large" in Midlife?  Are you grabbing life and going for it? Or... do have a tendency to live life smaller because you are older?  Is that what you really want for your life? Or... are you ready for a new way of thinking and being as you age?  

Is it too late to become an Entrepreneur in midlife?  Has the chance passed you by once you get over 50, 60, and beyond? 

According to Brooke Strauss, the answer to those questions is a big "NO".  It's never too late to start a business AND it's never too late to make a change in your business.  In fact, it is never too late to make whatever change you need to make to pursue your passions.

All this impacts every aspect of their lives including their relationships and careers. "I started to hurt in my 40s to aging," Ronnie says, "Onset osteopenia, degenerative disc disease, pounding my body with aerobics, and jogging in my 20s and 30s all took its toll." So she took her health advocacy and fitness into her hands and also left a traditional job and became a Personal Trainer. She now uses her experience as an aging, active, busy career woman, use of western and eastern medical treatments, and knowledge as a Certified Personal Trainer to help other women like her, stop hurting, feeling overwhelmed, and start thriving, through her coaching, accountability, and tangible support.

like so many women around the world, I love Jewel Diamond Taylor. Jewel is truly a gift and when we get together the conversation is always thought-provoking and inspiring.  In this podcast, we talk about the importance of letting go of the need to be perfect.  Most of us are very familiar with this and we are also familiar with the concept that trying to achieve perfection is a huge waste of time.  So why do we still do it?  Jewel and  I talk about this.  We also talk about the necessity of vulnerability along our midlife journey and how this can help us to let go of perfection. 

It's a great conversation.  We cover so much and you don't want to miss a second of this great podcast!

Do you feel like sometimes no matter how hard you try you can't seem to get beyond your challenges with money?  Whether you are an entrepreneur or someone who works for someone else, you may have had challenges when it comes to going to our money challenges.  This can be especially frustrating as you age, after all, we should know better right? No - that is not always the case. 

Enter Emma Lyons, Healer Money Mindset Coach. She and I talk about money blocks, how they contribute to our money challenges, and how we can remove them.   

Emma is a healer and yoga teacher with over 10 years of experience working with 1000s of people.  When she realized she couldn’t continue the law career path she discovered energy work and yoga. Despite finding her passion, she was stuck for years in a cycle of constant self-doubt, sabotage, and procrastination. She now specializes in working with entrepreneurs and business owners to release subconscious blocks & self-sabotage holding them back from thriving doing the work they love.

There are many dreams or aspirations we all think about.  But how many of us really pursue them?  That is what I talked about with my guest Dr. LaVerne Adams.  She has gone through a major transition in her life that is inspiring and encouraging to all women but especially women in midlife.

As Community Leader, Executive Director, and local church Pastor.   In 2016, she received a congratulatory letter for  her 20 years of dedication to church and community service from President Barack Obama, as well  as numerous grants and citations from every branch of government

Dr. Adams, has a degree in Construction Management from the Pratt Institute - School of Architecture and holds a Master of Divinity and a Doctor of  Ministry degree from the Palmer Theological Seminary and over 40 certifications in various areas of personal development.

Topics covered in this podcast:

• The importance of falling in love with yourself
• How pleasing everyone can really burn you out
• Learning to live your best life with no apologies
• The steps you need to take to get more empowered in your life 
• The first thing you need to do to rediscover you
• Why it is important to own yourself and who you are
• The importance of having that "conversation" with yourself

Social Media for Dr. Adams 

There are those people who think that "going hard" is the only way to get in shape effectively.  That might be true for some people, but for women over 40, this is not necessarily the case.  Surprisingly, studies have shown that getting in shape after 40 is less about "going hard" but more about low-impact movement and strength training with consistency.   My guest Shannon Patterson talks specifically about this and gives some great guidance about what we should be thinking about when we make a decision to start working out after 40 ... especially if it has been a long time since you have worked out. 

Shannon is the founder of two businesses focused on Empowering Women.   Live Your Truth Women coaching, elevating women’s self-confidence by developing self-awareness & self-acceptance.  She is also the founder of ACHIEVE Multisport Coaching & Personal Training, helping clients achieve health & fitness goals.  Shannon says the only way to truly feel your best is to strengthen both your mind and your body.  That when you do, you are limitless!  Other fun facts… Shannon is a 3X Ironman World Championship triathlete, 43X Marathoner, just remarried at age 48, has 2 fur babies (yorkies), and proudly identifies as a Confidence Crusader, Sisterhood Creator, Life Learner, and Love Radiator.

Some of the topics Shannon covers in this podcast 

• The  #1 thing all women should do for their fitness after 40 should be doing genetics

• Letting go of the fear of strength training when it comes to looking too "buffed"

• The importance of using fitness to build a stronger mindset and confidence, especially after 50 

• You don't necessarily have to fall victim to being genetically predisposed to be obese, studies show that 20% of our health is genetics the other 80% is based on lifestyle choices we make.

• It's important to find a movement that you enjoy doing so that it does become a part of your regular regimen. 

• Chose a workout plan that strengthens your core, which will help with better posture and stronger joints. 

• Go for the 10% rule and increase your activities ( walking, strength training, swimming, etc) by about 10% a week.

• Build your endurance slowly, you don't have to work out an hour a day every day to get results.  In fact for women over 40 "going hard" can actually cause unnecessary injury.

You never know when your "ah-ha" moment might come. It comes when you least expect it, and when the moment comes you are always surprised by the source.  

In Dr. Jill Kahn's case, the "ah-ha" moment came in a Clubhouse Room.  Clubhouse is an audio platform, that gives you the opportunity to listen to people's points of view from all over the world.  One of the people in the room was sharing about a tough day that he had.  Dr. Jill found her saying to him even though he had a tough day she told him "Everything is right about you".  The energy of the person who was speaking changed, in fact, the entire energy of the room shifted.  And...there it was the "ah-ha" moment.  Just like that! A movement whose time had come arrived. 

Dr. Jill( as she is fondly called) along with others decide to lean into that energy and created the "Everything Is Right About You" movement.  The movement has a simple but powerful message, it’s always the right time to begin exercising and sharing this authentic truth to build self-love and self-acceptance for ALL.   

The movement is now international with thousands around the world taking up the phrase "Everything Is Right About You". 

In this podcast 

• Dr. Jill talks about how her passion led her to what she is doing now 
• Why this movement is so important
• How children have been affected by this movement
• What the future holds for "Everything Is Right About You"
• The newest project for "Everything Is Right About You"

There are many benefits of meditation and yoga and that is what Denise Perry and I talk about in this 1st episode of the year.  We cover the following topics

Tune in and get some great tips on how to reduce your stress and increase your relaxation for 2022.

Denise Perry Bio

Initially, Denise started her yoga journey as a way to exercise. Before she knew it, coming to her mat became a time for herself. Even though there have been times over the years that she did not practice the poses, Denise always practiced yoga thru meditation and pranayama, breathwork. It was a spiritual experience as she used meditation to center, learn about herself, and accept the things she saw.

Denise loves the saying that “yoga is an exploration of self, by the self, into the self.” She can see how different parts of her journey over the years relate to that exploration. The exploration is something that never ends. A person only has to begin. Part of the reason Denise wanted to become a yoga teacher was to help others begin their journey. As a teacher, she hopes to help students grow and find at least a few moments of connection while on the mat.

Denise holds a BA in Communications and Media Studies and is RYT 500 Yoga Alliance certified. She has also studied coaching, Reiki, and meditation and currently taking an advanced Meditation Teacher Training course. She loves to teach Gentle Flow, Restorative, Yin, and Yoga Nidra. She lives in North Carolina with her two cats, Iris and Jem and is the Studio Director/Owner of Yoga Nook in Chesapeake, VA. Denise looks forward to being a part of your journey.

Guest Experts: 

All of us have experienced hitting the wall when it comes to trying to move forward to a successful outcome. For those of us who are entrepreneurs, small businesspersons, or individuals who want to experience more success in their lives,  it can be exceedingly difficult to stay motivated while overcoming obstacles.

As we journey through mid-life it becomes more apparent that attaining success takes more than just hard work. Our life experience has taught us the miracles that can happen when we slow ourselves down. In mid-life we know the importance of listening to that inner voice, that knowing placed within all of that can lead us to success. It takes the coordination of our mind, body, and spirit to maintain a positive mindset during those times when attaining ultimate success seems impossible.

But the question is how we can further develop that inner voice. What can we do to improve our clarity of thought, our enhanced focus on that inner voice, and our ability to act on what we hear?

My guest Elise Smith shares her expertise regarding this very topic. Elise Smith is a faith-based business coach and speaker. She shares with us how partnering with a higher power and really listening to that inner voice in business and in life can lead you to ultimate success. She shares specific steps you can take to help you enhance that voice and also act on that voice to get successful results.  Elise also shares something really powerful about failure and how it contributes to our ultimate success.

Can you imagine being 7 years old, living in the streets, homeless, mother on drugs and deciding one day “I don’t like this anymore.  I want a change” and then actually doing it.  That is what this episode of our podcast is all about – changing your mindset.  Making up your mind that you want to make change no matter what the current circumstances are.

These days I can imagine that many of us may be thinking about making significant changes.  Changing out mindset in many cases is the first step.  But how do we do that?  Where do we start?  Our guest today is Stephanie Mearse Author, Motivational Speaker, Radio Show and Podcast Host shares with us her amazing story and how she now is living a VIBE life after making an enormous change in her mindset.

How can we turn our emotionally painful experiences into emotional growth and ultimately emotional triumph?
