Today’s guest is Nicola Kane, a passionate and inspiring individual who is on a mission to save as many family stories and memories as possible. She is a video producer and the founder of Moving Memories, and in this episode, she shares her personal motivation behind her late in life passion.

This passion was born from the loss of her father in 2018, when she realized so much of his story wasn’t saved, and she became determined to make sure others wouldn't lose their stories. Her organization works closely with people who want to document their life, or the life of their loved one, by empowering them to preserve their own stories, memories, and life lessons that have shaped them into who they are.

In this episode, Nicola and I talked about:

• Her background that shaped her interest in her late-in-life passion of capturing stories.
• Tips for recording and capturing your own personal memoir.
• Why the saving of these family stories and memories is so valuable.

Nicola firmly...

In this episode, I share an incredibly easy way to uncover your hidden desires, which, in case you didn't know, will reveal your BIG DREAMS!

So if you are someone, like the old me, who thinks you don't dream, quit fooling yourself because telling yourself you don't have any dreams, is the same thing as saying you don't have any desires.

The truth is: All humans have desires. You can't be human if you have no desires. If you don't have desires, you are a robot.

In this episode, I talk about:

• the reason most of us don't dream big dreams
• why visualizing your dreams is key
• how to find proof you've dreamed big before using examples from my own life
• how you can find clues about the dreams still locked inside of you

Don't be afraid to uncover those deep desires and take action on them. Don't let your dreams remain locked in your subconscious - the place you keep shoving them back to when they periodically bubble up to the surface, trying to get your attention. 

Keeping them hidden...

Today’s guest is Janis R. Cohen-Corum, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who calls herself The Intuitive Therapist. In this episode, Janis shares her unique journey of blending therapy with intuition and helping empathic and intuitive women align with their divine path and live confidently.

Janis published her first book called The Intuitive Therapist, in 2016. She wrote it for therapists, coaches and counselors who want to accelerate and empower their clinical practices with the wisdom of their intuition. She also has a podcast called The Intuitive Therapist, where she merges intuition, spirituality, metaphysics and therapeutic wisdom.

In this episode, Janis and I talked about:

• How she discovered her own intuitive gifts in intuition and began integrating it into her practice.
• The limitations of traditional therapeutic approaches and how the power of intuition adds an element that helps unlock unaddressed deep emotional and spiritual needs.
• Her unique late-in-life...

In today's episode, I talk about the F-word that people don't do enough of. How's that for an intriguing title? But it's not what you may think!!! 

I see this happen with a lot of women as they age. So I wonder if it has happened to you?

Unfortunately, the past 3 years have contributed to this problem because we were all forced into isolation with the pandemic and another F word, FEAR, became our norm. We became isolated, unable to connect in meaningful ways, which is something humans need to do on a regular basis.

So I believe many of us need to, first of all, be aware that this problem exists, and secondly, recognize that, if you feel stuck, this might be the answer to get you moving. So be intentional about doing more of this.

Allow this episode to spark an idea that will get you reconnected with who you really are and bring more of this F word into your life. I guarantee you that it will feel really good and you won't feel so stuck anymore!

In today’s episode I talk about the 3 core needs that drive humans and I share which one was MY biggest driver of the three.

As I talk about them, I'd love for you to think about which one most drives you. What are the thoughts you are thinking, and which need do your thoughts align with? What need, in the actions or non-actions you perform are you trying to satisfy most?

Many of the beliefs that are at the root of these thoughts are unconscious to us, as you'll see in my examples. But once they are dug up and you are aware of them, you can begin the work to change your behavior and the beliefs that are unconsciously driving you.

Today’s guest is Bonny Snowdon, an accomplished Colored Pencil Artist and artists' mentor from North Yorkshire. With a somewhat incongruous background in corporate Britain and International Business coaching, Bonny shares her journey of rediscovering creativity, overcoming adversity, and finding success as an artist and mentor.

She describes the pivotal moment in 2016 when she rekindled her love for art after a hiatus of 30 years. The joy and fulfillment she experienced led her to embrace her artistic passion once again. Just a year after rediscovering her creativity, Bonny took the leap and became a full-time artist. She shares the inspiration behind this decision and the impact her artwork had on others.

In this episode, Bonny and I talked about:

• The story of how she reignited her passion for art after three decades 
• The evolution of her transformative journey as she rediscovered her creativity while navigating the challenging process of divorce
• How...

Today I'm bringing back another amazing episode I did with two more of my awesome and fully-sparked students, Kim Diede and Gail Johnson, who each share how stepping into their most authentic selves to live from a place of deep purpose has changed their lives. They are both doing incredible things and making an impact in the world by doing what they love. 

Kim, is a mom of 3 and a grandma of 1, who worked in banking at a job that was clearly not what she was brought here to do. You can hear her entire back story in Episode 7 when I first interviewed her on my podcast and before she ever entered The Second Half SPARK School.

She shares how working with me gave her a new perspective about how her fear of the unknown - even though she had discovered her purpose and it was lighting her up - was keeping her trapped in a job and depriving the world of the books she hadn't yet written. 

Gail, who is a medium, was denying her real gifts too. She didn't think she had...

Today I'm airing a replay of a past episode I did with one of my amazing Second Half S.P.A.R.K. School™ students, Denise Hughes. Denise shares her story of signing up to the Second Half SPARK School™ at a very low point in her life, when she was on medical disability with “long” Covid, with very little energy, and far from living her best life.

But fortunately, like all of my students who decide to take action, she was finally ready to do something about it and she knew she couldn’t do it on her own… 

Denise’s story is nothing short of remarkable as it shows how our path to the dream life we desire is not always what we think it will be. But Denise shows how once we shift our internal energy by changing our mindset, we begin to attract what we desire. 

She is also a testament to how staying in abundance, no matter how hard your journey gets, and continuing to apply the tools she learned in the Second Half SPARK...
