My guest on this episode is the lovely Georgia Holleran.

She has spent her life researching how we can make the best of our time on this planet, without letting ourselves

get in the way. Her background is in the arts,

education, neuro-linguistic programming, cognitive

hypnotherapy and a research Masters.

She’s an educator, writer, speaker and the author of The Last Self Help Book You’ll Ever Need. In this book, she

summarizes the best she has learned … so far and she teaches you how to use it as a Self Help book catered to the very person it’s meant to help…YOU. Which is why it’s the last one you’ll ever need!

We talk about how there are many different parts of ourselves and she refers to this as the “14 ladies” which I love. She helps us see how we can have a healthy relationship and engage with, and most importantly love, all the parts of ourself that are also on this journey with us. She also gave me a beautiful visual of how we those of us who are on similar journeys are this beacons of light all around the world and we just have to link up with each other and each put our beacon out so the others can see our light and we can see theirs.

I laughed through this entire episode with her and I absolutely love her take on things and her energy. I think the biggest thing I got out of our conversation is to let go of the clinging energy I sometimes get stuck in and what is meant for me will find me and it will just flow. I know you’re going to love her as much as I did.

Pick up her book on Amazon called The Last Self Help Book You’ll Ever need and sign up for her newsletter, The Wandering Lightbulb, to stay connected and remain in this energy. Visit her website at georgiaholleran.com to see everything she’s up to.

My guest on this episode is Christina Smith. She’s a Midlife Mentor, Coach, Author, Speaker, host of The Inviting Shift podcast and just all around so easy to talk to and has some really great insight into why so many of us are feeling this calling halfway through our lives. We talk about the belief systems we grew up with, the expectations of others, the fear, how to show up authentically, and most importantly choosing thriving over surviving! On her website, she says “A Midlife Crisis is an Unanswered Calling” and wow, that really hit me! It’s a beautiful conversation and just listening to her feels like a meditation.

You can follow her, check out some other links she recommends below to connect to more women on this journey, and check out her masterclass called "Confident You" which she has on her website, along with some other really amazing offerings to help you become aligned and get out of your own way and live the life you want!

My guest on this episode is Valerie Recore, the owner of Stride Productivity and she’s a Productivity Specialist, time management expert, podcast host, and a mom so she has some really great insight, not only as as a professional and expert in this area, but with her own real life examples she uses in her life and with her family.

She talks about how to have conversations with your family or ask questions of yourself around how you want to show up in your life, aligning your priorities and what you commit to with the kind of life you want to live and how to focus more on “what it is you’re allowing to take your time” vs just "getting it all done”.

Valerie gives actionable tips we can take right out of the podcast and implement, especially as so many of us are shifting into a completely different type of time management as school starts back up and for me, as my youngest starts high school.

You can follow her, check out some books she recommends below, and listen to her as a guest on several other podcasts which she has on her website.
