This month’s “Just Friggin’ Do It” episode was recorded right after my weekend with my college besties when I was still feeling so energized and filled up with love from being with people who get me like no one else. They are my soul sisters.

I’ve known these women since the late 70s when we all met at Old Dominion University in Virginia. My connection with each of them was instant from the get-go, and although we’ve been through many ups and downs as we’ve navigated our different lives with spouses and raising children, we’ve managed to be better for it and love and understand each other on an even deeper level. 

In this episode, I share the 3 key things that these friends give to me and why I believe these things are what we should look for in the people we surround ourselves with.

I hope you have your own soul sisters in your life, and if you do, when was the last time you saw them? If not recently, don't you think it's time...

This week’s interview is with Jodi Silverman who helps women at midlife transition and rediscover who they are, outside of a mom, daughter, and partner. As a speaker and coach, Jodi provides community, tools, and strategies to help women find passion, purpose and true happiness so they can begin living their most daring life now.

Jodi’s life journey is nothing short of evolution. She went from print sales to life coach, speaker and community builder and she wants other women who are approaching this chapter to know that they are not too old or too late to be who they are meant to be.

In this episode, Jodi and I talked about:

• How she found her voice as she was transitioning to her empty nest phase and gained new purpose.
• A speech she heard that changed the trajectory of her life.
• What the word ‘dare’ means to her and why she’s included it in the branding of her business.
• Her upcoming free virtual event - what it’s about and an invitation to...

I have something special for you in this episode... It's a new training I did all about the empty nester roles (aka personas) I've identified which will give you a great indicator for how fulfilled you are at this stage in life.

In this training I cover:

• How I became so familiar with these personas
• The 6 Empty Nester Personas & why knowing them is important

• How to find out YOUR Empty Nest Persona

I can't wait for you to listen in and get an aha or two that will likely give you some real clarity to get you moving towards more fulfillment in your life. You deserve it!

This week’s interview is with Loa Blasucci, author, nutritionist, content creator, and energy medicine practitioner. Loa began in the entertainment industry as a Hollywood makeup artist, which was a fabulous learning experience and gave her the knowledge necessary to do what she is doing now. She has an incredibly deep understanding of women, and it’s a gift that she holds sacred.

Loa learned her gifts as an etheric clairvoyant later in life and these gifts have given her the chance to help women as they go through life changes, whether they are dealing with emotional or physical issues. She now facilitates a comprehensive healing process for her clients by helping them release anxiety and balance their energy so they are able to find their inner beauty.

In this episode, Loa and I talked about:

• her life as a Hollywood makeup artist and what she learned along the way that helped her to uncover her true gifts. 
• her perspective on what living a not-your-average-life...

This past week I learned about 2 Facebook pages and 2 Facebook groups that are great places to connect with women over 50!

So if you are my age or even a bit younger - a Gen Xer (born between 1965 and 1980) or a Baby Boomer (born between 1946 and 1964) - you may want to check them out.

If you're not on Facebook, you're out of luck. But, if you were on Facebook and left, these groups may be worth going back because they are great virtual spaces where you can interact with women that have a lot in common with you. And you might even meet someone that doesn't live far from you who you can connect with in person!

Listen in as I give a little lesson about the difference between a Facebook profile, a page and a group and what each is used for, explain how to find these particular pages and groups, and share some of the the interesting discussions that are happening in these groups.

After I recorded this episode I found the following comment that sums it up nicely from inside The Ethel...

This week’s guest is Sheetal Kurup, a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Mindset, Human Design and Wealth Consciousness Coach helping people to build a millionaire mindset and create the life of their dreams by overcoming their limiting beliefs and rewiring their subconscious mind. 

Sheetal blends spirituality with science to create deep, inside out transformation within people. She inspires and empowers people to go after their life's purpose and make the impact they desire.

In this episode, Sheetal and I talked about:

• her story of moving to the U.S. from India as a young, newly married Lawyer.
• why intuition came so naturally to her and paved her path to a more purpose-filled life.
• how her first business evolved from doing what she loved for free first! 
• Human Design and how knowing yours can help you with better decision-making.

From starting a party planning business and quickly reaching 6 figures, after being a stay-at-home mom and out of the workforce for 15 years,...

Today's topic was inspired by an old lesson that was reintroduced to me when I added and had to adjust accordingly to a whole 40 hour work week onto my already-busy schedule running my coaching business.

I've been a firm believer in the power of planning for a long time and I know how life-changing it can be when you build structure into your day, but I was not building enough structure which meant I was not gaining the most benefit possible. 

And the funny thing is is that I didn't even realize how loosey-goosey the structure of my day had become until I was forced to add more as a result of all of the tasks added to my plate juggling two jobs.

It's really been a blessing in disguise because it's caused me to reflect on how much time I was wasting by lacking structure and how that has affected my productivity and energy. I was going through the motions but my planning was half-assed. And this lesson has reinforced not just my belief but also my passion about how vital it is...

This week’s guest is Tobi Crawford, a Vocalist, Pianist, Music Arranger and Educator. Tobi taught at the high school level in Canada for 10 years, teaching choirs, bands and music theory before moving to Shanghai, China where she was the Fine Arts Department head and Director of Music at Sino-Canada High School for 5 years.

Tobi recently graduated with a Masters degree in Jazz Voice Performance from the esteemed University of North Texas where she served as a teaching fellow. She is currently the co-director and professor of music at The School for Music Vocations in Creston, Iowa.

In this episode, Tobi and I talked about:

• Why she uprooted her family to move from Canada to China.
• What made her uproot her life again and go back across the world to go to college at midlife. 
• The hardships she encountered with her weight and her weight loss journey.
• Getting back into the dating scene after her marriage ended and finding love.

Listen as Tobi shares her inspirational story...

Today I'm sharing something that one of my students FINALLY just friggin' did... She bought her dream car!!!

She first put it on her Vision Board in March of 2021 and now it's parked in her driveway giving her a little spark every time she sees it and especially when she gets to go out and drive it!

In this episode I share why she almost put the purchase on hold and how what she did is so common for us to do. It might even be something you are doing right now with something that you desire.

Listen in and hear how my probing questions led her to the aha moment she needed and the reason that was keeping her from taking the action she really wanted to take.

Finding the answer that was inside of her all along was key because it allowed her to move forward, not stay stuck in inaction, and build the confidence she needed to know that she has all it takes to make her own decisions and go after the things she desires. And by now having this lived experience, she's inspired others with her...
