In today's episode, I'm talking about the 5 different roles I've identified and how they relate to the fulfillment level you are feeling in your life today. I'm very passionate about this topic and have made it my mission to bring more fulfillment to women who have reached midlife and still feel as if something is missing.

If you're curious about what your result might be and are ready to get on a path of self-discovery, take my Midlife Fulfillment Level quiz at: https://www.notyouraveragegrandma.com/quiz

Once you get your results, take a picture of them and post it on Instagram or Facebook and TAG ME! I'd love to see what you got and would be happy to give you tips on how to move closer to the Sparked Soul level, if that's not your result AND you're ready to take action on the highest level of fulfillment possible!!!

In this episode I get super vulnerable and share how I manifested the loss of millions of dollars in stock options and how embarrassed and ashamed I used to be from my mishandling of money until I uncovered the greater lesson from it.

In my later years, as I've gained a deeper understanding of the Universal Laws, and in particular, the Law of Attraction and how we can not only manifest what we want into our life,  but also what we don't want.

I've also learned that our relationship with money is just another set of beliefs that are running on auto pilot and have been following us around since childhood, and if we don't get to the root of them and understand how they are impacting our life, then we will never conquer our money "problems." They will follow us everywhere we go.

So here is my true story of how my beliefs around money and the unexpected consequences of living a life out of alignment with what my soul truly desired impacted me in a deep way, AND what I'm doing now...

Today I'm starting a new series I'm calling #ThursdayThoughts and I thought it would be fun to use my Energy Oracle cards to come up with a topic. Since these cards act as intuitive hits for us, I know by using them, the universe will send me great ideas to share with my listeners.

The card that came up for me today is Community which was quite accurate in that I've been super focused in my virtual communities over the past week, both in my mentor's Facebook Group where she was doing free training and then announcing enrollment into her program, and with my group of new students who are going through my Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School.

If you're interested in getting the Oracle card deck that I used today, here is the link to the cards on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gGIcWP

The guide book that comes with the cards will tell you everything you need to know.

It was really fun to let the universe guide me today so I plan to do this a lot going forward with my #ThursdayThoughts...

I've been floored by all of the great content that Dr. Shannon Irvine is giving away for FREE in her latest video series training called "The Unleashed Entrepreneur." The only thing I don't like is that it's promoted for business success when I know it can be soooo valuable for EVERY PERSON - not just for business owners!!!

Training your brain to work FOR you instead of against you is key for success in any area of your life!

In today's episode, I touch briefly on the 3 growth tactics, Clarify, Erase, and Automate, that she talks about in her free series and how they have helped me in the past few months in my business.

I'm always looking for interesting guests so if you have a great midlife transformation to share or know of someone who does, let's connect!

In this episode I share my perspective on how to use your consciousness to get past a trigger. I identify the 4 As, as I call them (Aware, Analyze, Accept, and Advance), to describe the different stages you need to move through to learn and grow from your triggers.

And I also get into consciousness vs. unconsciousness and explain how our ego is simply the aspect of our human experience whose main goal is to keep us safe but which actually ends up keeping us stuck. Awareness is the first step in keeping the ego from holding us back from progress.

In this episode, I share the three biggest reasons I left my network marketing business to do my own thing.

I was in the network marketing space for 4.5 years and was a top performer, usually among the top 3 on our team every month, but I ended up burnt out and unhappy, because I was working hard for little income AND I was limited in the way I wanted to help people. Once I realized that, in order to do what I truly wanted, I had to go outside of that space, so I broke free and created exactly what I wanted.

I have no regrets, except wishing I'd cut the cord sooner! I learned a ton, gained confidence in the online format of business ownership, and got very clear on my deeper purpose - my why.

So if you are struggling in the network marketing space, putting in a ton of effort for little financial reward, and feeling limited in the way you truly want to help people, I want you to know there is a better way! If you take a step back and really look at the challenges you've faced with a...

In this episode I share what triggered me this past week, that initially made me emotional and angry but then led me to begin reading "White Fragility" and getting an eye-opening prospective on how I've contributed to the racism in our country. You can order this book on Amazon using this link: https://amzn.to/37njsiI

I highly recommend this book as a starting point for anyone who wants to learn more and encourage you to do what you can to learn about this because this is a problem that ALL OF US need to own and fix.

In this episode, I share the joy that adopting a new puppy has brought to my life, especially in light of being cooped up at home with this pandemic. He has brought love & laughter back into our home after our 15 1/2 year old Chihuahua passed away in January.

But this episode is more than just me talking because I've invited my dog trainer to join in the conversation! Yep!!! I've been getting a little help in my puppy parenting skills from The Dog Academy and its founder Sherry Nativo.

Sherry & I had fun discussing the joys and challenges that having a new puppy brings, as well as the misconceptions many dog owners have when it comes to their dog's behavior. I am so thankful to have had Sherry to help me navigate these early days with Moji, my 4 month old Pooton.

Make sure to stick around to the end when Sherry opens up about her own story of how she got into dog training 10 years ago after her mom suddenly passed away. It's a great story!!!
