Fulfilled and Fabulous After 50

Power of Positivity

Counselor and Professional Life Coach

I LOVE seeing testimonials like this come in!!

It's such a great reminder for me to show up every day to support women who are just like I was, not too long ago.

How many times did I say to myself that I felt like I was "stuck in a rut"?

Too many!

But for years I felt like there was nothing that I could do about it.

Life was supposed to be mundane and repetitive, right?

Wrong!

Life is supposed to be fun, exciting, fulfilling and adventurous!

And today is the perfect day to begin living the life that you were meant to live!

It's never too late...

And you're never too old.

As things begin to open up from the stay at home orders, what are some of the things that you are choosing to differently from "before"?

The more women I talk to, the more I'm seeing a trend towards living a less hectic, and more fulfilling life!

It seems as if so many people around the world have realized that hustling all week at work, to then spend the weekend hustling at home just isn't the way that they want to live.

And whether you are heading back into your office soon, or you'll continue to work from home...

What are some of those things that you've realized just aren't that important in the grand scheme of things?

And what have you discovered is truly important to you, and you're choosing to spend more time with it?

I'd love to know! 👇

For decades I lived my life doing what I was "supposed to do"

Playing it safe

Working at a 9-5 job

And living for the weekends & my 2 weeks vacation a year

I never f'd up because I never did anything that challenged me

I lived in a rut & did the same thing day after day

After living that way for way too long, I realized that my life felt so unfulfilling

And I chose to do something different

I opened my first business

And I felt alive again!

It was so outside of my comfort zone, but I was determined to make it work

I had no idea what I was doing, so I'd try something, and if it didn't work, I tried something else

I failed at things many times, and it was ok

I survived

No one got hurt

And I was learning, and growing, and discovering so much about myself

I quickly learned what I was good at, and what I sucked at

And I continued to make mistakes

And it was still ok

All these years later I still make mistakes

I still f'up

And it's still ok

I'm growing, learning and thriving

And living a life that is so fulfilling and amazing!

Every day I talk to women who are sick of living their lives on autopilot

They're ready to finally begin chasing their crazy dreams and living their most amazing lives!

And I'm so blessed to get to support them in their journey

A Life In Progress

There's a really good chance that you have limiting beliefs currently running your life, that came from your parents, your grandparents, and even your great-grandparents.

Most of the beliefs that we have about money, relationships, work, self-worth, etc. were formed before we were even 7 years old...

Which means that they are from our caregivers and the family that we were surrounded by when we were children.

Think about some of the things that you were told about money (as an example) when you were a child...

Money is dirty

Money doesn't grow on trees

Money slips right through your hands

These thoughts could still be running your life today.

And if we don't change these beliefs, they can then be passed on to the next generation.

😳

Have you heard yourself saying any of those same beliefs to your children, nieces or nephews?

It happens!

We unconsciously repeat the same beliefs that we were taught...

Unless we do something DIFFERENT.

Awareness of these old stories is key - then it's time to do something to release the hold that these old beliefs have over us - and replace them with new, empowering ones!

Want to find out how quickly & easily this can happen? DM me and let's start a conversation.

The words that we say to ourselves is so important.

One powerful shift that made a huge difference in my life is when I stopped saying "I have to...",

And started saying "I choose to..."

It feels so much more empowering!

Try it and let me know what you think.💖

"Who do I want to be when I grow up?"

When Heather reached out to me, she was a 48 year old single mom who's youngest child had recently left the nest.

For a while Heather kept herself busy...

She cleaned out her daughter's room,

She worked additional hours in her therapy business,

She signed up for a few dating apps,

And then she felt lost.

She was so used to having someone to cook for, and worry about, and "mother",

But since her daughter moved out, she didn't have much to do, except work.

She knew that she wanted to be an amazing example for her daughter,

So she'd have to get out of her comfort zone and begin doing things differently.

She wanted to create a fulfilling and fabulous life, but she had no idea where to begin.

That's when she reached out to me for help.

Because, where do you even begin...right?!

Once Heather was able to reconnect to the woman that she was before she became a busy mom and business owner,

And we uncovered how she wanted to feel,

And the values that were most important to her,

And she began living a life of her own design,

She truly came alive!

She went from feeling overwhelmed, lost and lonely...

To feeling vibrant, fulfilled and so connected to the woman that she was meant to be!

What an amazing transformation!

What if you could "untangle" your subconscious beliefs, so you not only understood where they came from, and how they've been holding you back in your life & business...

But could then replace your old, disempowering beliefs with new & empowering ones quickly and easily?!

They don't call it Rapid.Transformational.Therapy for nothing! 💖

DM me if you're interested in learning more.

I don't know who needs to hear this today, but YOU deserve to have a life that you absolutely love - no matter your age! 💖

Too often I hear from women who have spent the past few decades raising their children, running their business, and taking care of all of the day-to-day stuff.

Then they wake up one day, usually after their children have moved out, and their business just isn't as fulfilling as it used to be...

And think "What's next?"

They suddenly have a lot more time on their hands, but they have no idea how they want to spend it.

What do they want this next chapter of their life to look like?

Who are they, other than mom & business owner?

And what will make this next chapter of their life fulfilling?

No matter your age, you can rediscover yourself, and design a life that you absolutely love! 💖

Even on those days when there is just so much TO DO,

Be sure that you are taking time TO BE 🌟

The rewards are priceless!!

What does living a fulfilling life mean to you?

For some it means being surrounded by family and friends.

For others it's about giving back.

And for some it means having the freedom & money to travel the world.

But what I've found, after coaching women for almost 12 years now, is that living a fulfilling life for most women, means that they are using their unique gifts and talents (those things that come so easy for them), to make an impact on the world.

Sometimes it's a creative venture - like painting or gardening

Sometimes it's giving voice to people or animals that don't have one

And other times, it's sharing their unique knowledge with the world.

Leading a fulfilling life doesn't have anything to do with money or wealth - it has to do with using your God-given gifts.

Those gifts that if you don't begin to use, will end up being buried with you.

You were given gifts for a reason...

Be sure to use them!

What does a fulfilling life mean to you? I'd love to know!

Building a life that you LOVE is a lot like hiking a mountain. 🏔

The beginning is the most challenging.

You're uncomfortable, out of breath, and wondering if this is wise... 🤔

Maybe you're not cut out for this & should turn back?

You KNOW that the view from the top will be AMAZING..

But is it really worth the pain & the tears??

You reach out to someone who's gone before you for help.

Their advice comes from experience, so you start to implement it.

Hmmmm....

Their advice helped!

You're doing all of the "work", but they gave you some info that would make your journey more enjoyable.

So you continue on...

Now you're beginning to enjoy the journey.

It's gotten a bit easier, now that you've had some guidance and the right tools.

You don't know how much longer until you "arrive" at the summit, but that's okay, because you're having so much fun on the way.

And then you reach the SUMMIT!

That huge, scary goal that you set for yourself.

Maybe it's a relationship, a business, or travel.

Whatever it is...

YOU DID IT!!! 🎉🎉

You've accomplished something that you weren't quite sure that you could do.

But you believed in yourself.

You asked for the help that you needed...and you created the amazing life that you absolutely LOVE!

The one that you deserve! 💖

No matter your age, you can do so much more than you think you can!

Yesterday I went hiking with some friends...

And absolutely struggled for the first 45 minutes.

Like really struggled!

And being too proud, and stubborn, to give up, I kept going.

After barely making it 1 mile, we went on to hike 3 mountain peaks, and cover 7.54 miles.

Even when you think you can't do something, give it one last effort...

You'll be surprised what you can accomplish!

I believe in you 💖

In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women near or over 50:
“As I grow in age, I value women near or over 50 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman near or over 50 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman near or over 50 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.

Women near or over 50 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman near or over 50.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman near or over 50 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off that you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women near or over 50 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman near or over 50, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.”

- If you are a “Women near or over 50” copy, paste, add a picture of yourself, post/share and keep rocking the best you!

I’m 51 and happy to be where I am.

Mermaid Musings

Almost every conversation that I have with women, especially women who are 40, 50 and above, revolves around this consistent theme...

👉 They are NOT living the life that they had wanted to live. 👈

🚫 They are usually not in a career/business that they love - they're following someone else's idea for what they should do.

🚫 They are not traveling, exploring or going on the amazing adventures that they had wanted to go on - because they didn't think that they "should".

🚫 They are not waking up every morning, excited to take on the day, and make a difference that they know they could be making.

But the good news is this...

It's NEVER, EVER too late to begin living the life that you are meant to live. 🎉

If the life that you are currently living is NOT what you want it to be, you can rewrite your life in this moment, and begin living a life that feels aligned, purposeful and FABULOUS!

The world needs YOU!

The authentic, empowered and beautiful woman that you are.

**Celebrating so many client wins from April**

👉April was by far the most unique month in my business in the past 11+ years.👈

It started out with most women feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what the future held for them...

➡️ Women who were running successful businesses, suddenly felt like the rug had been pulled out from under them, and they were uncertain if their business would survive.

➡️ Women who were gearing up to launch their dream business', were suddenly uncertain about the future of their dreams.

➡️ Women who had been feeling overwhelmed about all of their obligations and time commitments, suddenly had more time than they knew what to do with.

➡️ And women who had been struggling to find time to eat healthy, exercise or practice even just 5-10 minutes of self-care a day, suddenly had so much time - and discovered that they STILL weren't taking care of themselves.

🙌And here's what happened... 🙌

✅ We worked on shifting the limiting beliefs that told women that they couldn't make money during this time, and each and every one of my clients was able to continue running their business', usually with just a few simple pivots!

✅ 3 clients launched their business' at the end of March or in April!

✅ All of my clients began to really take stock of their new reality, and became more intentional about how they are spending their days.

✅ My clients are feeling more connected to their loved ones, choosing healthier lifestyles, practicing self-care daily, and adding so much more fun into their lives.

✅ And with every single one of my clients, we focused on self-worth, self-love and self-acceptance.

If you're feeling uncertain and unsure in any area of your life right now, I'm offering a FREE 5-day From Frazzled to FABULOUS course beginning on May 11th!

And we'd love to have you join us!

Grab your spot here ---> https://bit.ly/2Wbx76Z

You can do anything that you set your mind to!

You are strong, fierce, passionate and capable...

💖

You are a strong, competent and incredible woman!

💖

There are so many reasons for us to show up and be the strong woman that we are meant to be...

And our children are some of the most powerful reasons!

Showing our children what it means to live a life filled with passion and purpose is one of the best gifts that we can give them.

Playing small, holding back or putting our own lives on the backburner will only teach our children to do the same.

It's time to show up and SHINE! 🌟

💖

Too many times I see women holding themselves back from being the amazing, powerful and passionate women that they are born to be.

They are afraid of being boastful or braggy

They dim their lights in order to allow others to shine

And by doing this, they are doing a huge disservice - to themselves and to the world

The world needs for all of us to show up and shine brightly

To share our gifts, our talents and our passions with the world

And to stop apologizing for being ourselves.

STARTING TODAY - SHOW UP AND SHINE! 🌟

💖
