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!

Today's guest is Jackie Lynch, a Registered Nutritional Therapist and founder of the WellWellWell Nutrition clinic where she specializes in women's health and menopause.

She is an advocate of empowering women by sharing her knowledge and expertise about nutrition, diet, and lifestyle and is especially passionate about those who are in midlife.

Just like me and many of my guests, Jackie came from a lucrative corporate job and gave it up to pursue her real passion. After a life-changing spa experience, she went back to school and studied Nutritional Therapy and shortly after that she launched her WellWellWell Nutrition Clinic. 

She is also a book author and is launching her newest book this Fall. In this episode she shares lots of valuable advice as well as her journey that led her to her midlife health & business transformations.

The titles and links to Jackie's published books are below: 

Her newest one, "The Happy Menopause: Smart Nutrition...

In this episode of Not Your Average Lives, I'm chatting for a second time with my friend, Kimberly Diede who I first met when she sent me a sweet email about one of my episodes that inspired her.

Since that first episode, Kim has published TWO more books, while still working her full time banking job.

Her midlife transformational story is sure to inspire anyone who has ever had an inkling to write a book. I love her example that your passion can be a side gig. Life is so much better and more fulfilling, as long as you find what you love to do and are able to spend a lot of time doing it..

I'm about to start the 3rd book in her "Celia's Gifts" series. I'm a big fan, after she got me hooked when she sent me "Whispering Pines," the first book in the series, right after our first interview!!!

You can learn more about Kim and her books at her website: http://www.kimberlydiedeauthor.com/

Makhosi Candiss is a naturally gifted individual, specifically in science and math, who has an innate drive to always become the best, especially being a woman of color and of mixed culture. With her inherent gifts and tenacity, she has always been up for a great challenge and soars not just to meet but to exceed perceived societal expectations.

After obtaining Bachelor’s degrees in Business and Marketing, while preparing for medical school, she rose to the top 1% of consultants in a $250 million direct sales company in just 9 months. At the top, her world shattered as she realized that what society defines as success was not fulfilling and something was missing in the big picture. As the voices within her kept growing, her 'higher being', drew her into finding her real and greater purpose.

She decided to harness her unusual gifts and the voice within her and became an Abundance Activator & Authentic African Shaman and she now uses her training to help burned-out,...

Have you ever thought about starting your own online business? Doing something that lights you up and gives you the freedom to work where you want, when you want, and on the work that you were brought here to do? If so, perhaps this episode will give you a few ideas about the various ways you can earn income using the internet!!! 

It's 2020 and it's never been easier to create a bona fide business using a virtual medium. No more hassling with a brick & mortar business, which we've learned from this Covid 19 pandemic is a somewhat risky endeavor. And who really wants to get in a car and have to drive to an office every day? NOT ME! (I spent too many hours of my life sitting in Washington, D.C. rush hour traffic!)

Walking across my family room to my home office is all of the commute I want!!! 

So what are you waiting for? It's time to start being creative and figuring out how you can spend your second half designing your new online business and having a blast in the...

Christie Miller is a multi-faceted career woman who ventured into several professions throughout her life. A Financial Analyst, a Corporate Attorney, an Interior Designer, an LA County Sheriff, and now a Healthy Living Architect & Motivational Speaker - you name it, and I think Christie has tried it!

She has appeared on TV numerous times showcasing her advocacy of being healthy and happy! And, to no one's surprise, she has also published her own book! It seems that there is nothing Christie can't do. This woman is able to turn anything she puts her mind and effort into a success!

However, like many stories of people who have found their true purpose later in life, hers was not realized without heartache and challenges, the first of which was losing her father suddenly, before she was ready. The fact that her father's premature death was the result of his unhealthy lifestyle is what...

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...
