In this conversation, Alexandra Pope and Sjanje Hugo Wurlitzer of Red School talk about a different perspective of menopause as not a physical betrayal but rather an awakening to new and different dimensions of you. Our bodies hold so much wisdom and through our menstrual cycle and menopause, we can tap into our innate wisdom to create sustainably vibrant health, unlock our true potential, and reclaim our natural powers as a woman. This is an enlightening episode that is sure to leave you thinking very differently about the natural cycles of your body.

Awakening Different Dimensions of Yourself

Is midlife too late to find success in following your passion? Can you be a compelling singer/ songwriter and a gynecologist at the same time? Today's guest shows us that you absolutely can and it's never too late. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Kristina Dervaitis about daring to follow your passion in mid-life.  Kristina is a board-certified OB/GYN turned singer-songwriter in a transition that she describes as both terrifying and exhilarating. With a very busy and successful medical career, Kristina scaled back to follow her inner nudges to return to her childhood musical roots.  When she made the shift to part-time practice in order to spend more time with her husband, neither of them had any idea that their shared passion for music would result in the birth brand new album of songs that Kristina describes as midlife anthems. Check out her website to hear her new single.

The Power in Giving Back with Rebecca Powers

Who wants to infuse friendships, life’s grounding lessons, and gather around a campfire in the spirit of fun to (re)discover who you want to be as you "grow up"?  Does such a space even exist?  The answer is yes.    Tammi Leader, after a 30-year career as an award-winning television producer, found herself a divorced single mom, burned out and no longer feeling fulfilled by her career and she knew it was time to reimagine her life.    Remembering back to the fun and community of her childhood camp days Tammi founded Campowerment, a transformational playground for women to learn, connect and grow together on purpose through a camp experience.    Campowerment provides the opportunity for women to find their passion and purpose, and step into a power that they may not even realize they have.     Tammi believes that the world is waiting for all of us.  Every one of us has a superpower that we can get back if we get unstuck.   In this episode, we discuss how women from all walks of life come together to find themselves and get the support they need to live their best lives Tune in to hear about Tammi Leader's expert-led community, Campowerment, and connect on purpose.     Bio   Tammi Leader   Founder of Campowerment   “I left my TV career with two Emmys and a dream: to build communities of happy, empowered people ready to propel themselves forward.”   In 2013, after three decades as an award-winning Television Producer, Tammi Leader took a huge leap of faith, stepping out of the TV Studio and back into nature to create Campowerment, the purveyor of live and transformative, expert-led experiences, powered by play!   After moving from her hometown of Miami to Los Angeles to develop a health & wellness show for Telepictures (Warner Brothers) designed to help people live life bigger and better, with help from game-changing experts in every area of growth, Tammi was at the top of her career, and yet deeply unhappy. At 53, she set out to find that “happy place” within herself, so she went back to her roots…to the place of her happiest childhood memories: summer camp. In partnership with her College Professor mother (Grandy) and Brand Strategist oldest daughter (Chelsea), and the support of her entire family, Tammi created a new concept, live and off-air: a sleepaway-camp-inspired experience where grown-up women (like her) could re-ignite their lives.   Enter: Campowerment, where Tammi invited in the power players who had impressed and inspired her during her many years at The TODAY Show, NBC News, CBS News, America’s Most Wanted, and EXTRA TV.    This new passion project, which became a business in 2013 when O Magazine named it one of the 50 things that made Oprah say, “Wow,” was the culmination of Tammi’s highest skills and most beloved concepts.   From the beginning, Campowerment has been featured in Forbes, Fortune, and Parade Magazines, the TODAY Show, CNN, The Hollywood Reporter, The LA Times, Miami Herald, Reader’s Digest, and lots s’more.   Tammi is currently working on a book about resilience and the power of kindred connection. We think her story has only just begun.

I don't know about you but up until a few years ago, no one was talking about boundaries, let alone how to set and hold them. It just wasn’t a thing.  And because of that, I like many of us fell into the trap of trying to do everything for everyone. For many of us saying yes is a knee-jerk reaction that comes so naturally but often leads us to overwhelm and sometimes resentment.  Been there!  In today's episode, I chat with Master Coach and bestselling author, Nancy Levin about the importance of boundaries and putting ourselves first on our list.   Nancy provides powerful insight and new ways to look at setting boundaries that can dramatically change your life. If you are exhausted from your yes', you'll definitely want to give this podcast a listen and I'd encourage you to pick up a copy of her book "Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free”.  It's full of practical advice and tips for setting effective boundaries.

Aligning With Your Worth

Today I have a conversation with author Janis Dougherty who shares how her life was upended through death, divorce and cancer. She explains how feeling completely lost in her life and finding rock bottom lead her on the journey to find herself.  We discuss the 20 questions from her book “Her Within” that we all should be asking ourselves to uncover our most authentic self at this time of life.   She encourages us to connect with the 'HER' within that is hiding in so many of us. To find her, to trust her, to love her. Learn more about Janis: As a woman who set out on her own journey to connect with something that was missing, Janis found that women around the world are facing this same turning point in life. Many women have lost a connection with their HERwithin.  The comfort of finding that place where there is no judgement and plenty of encouragement is HER. That intuitive voice women hear or that nudge that they feel is HER. Janis teaches women how to connect with HER through the steps of Find HER, Embrace HER, Allow HER, Trust HER and Love HER. Janis is a mother of two, a stepmom to three and an advocate for women to follow a path of fulfilment and “Discover the Woman Within”.

Finding "HER" Within

Does your style reflect who you are at a deeper level? Perhaps you've never thought about it. Midlife is a great time to do a self-inventory and help your outer image reflect your inner being. This a super interesting conversation with Soul Stylist and Confidence Catalyst, Amanda Weil. She helps guide women to feel SEEN by infusing fashion, self-growth and spirituality. Such a great mix! Amanda debunks some of the typical 'fashion rules' that the media and even we have set for ourselves. We talk about making changes to the way we look at clothes and our style and how to represent our authentic, soul-self through the way we dress. Amanda challenges the way we think about colour and reviews how working with the chakra system can bring exciting new life into our wardrobe and life. Such a great way to connect with one of my favourite topics, fashion, and blending it with another favourite topic, soul growth. Enjoy! Learn more about Amanda: My speciality is styling businesswomen who feel stuck in a rut with their corporate dress codes. I’ll help you discover the style of your true self so that when you are sitting in a meeting you are not afraid to speak up and you feel more respected. After 14 years as a corporate executive, I know firsthand how stifling and robotic it can feel wearing outfits that do not allow your true self to shine. I have mastered how to infuse a style awakening for my clients so their wardrobe calls forth the most confident and connected version of themselves while maintaining a business edge. A few minor changes in one's wardrobe can make a huge impact on confidence and thus life and work decisions. My clients are successful businesswomen who have had enough of feeling robotic and masculine due to their office dress code and crave to feel alive when they dress for work. I guide them to find their true style and use their newfound confidence to elevate their performance at work.  Instagram: Amandaweilstyle Website: www.styleawakeningacademy.com Facebook Group: http://bit.ly/accentuatedstyle

Discover Your Soul Style

This episode of the podcast is a little different. It's the very first ever solo episode of the show. This is something that I have been resisting for a while. I made a promise to myself for 2021, to ramp things up a bit and get back to taking some uncomfortable steps for the growth of my mission to help as many midlife women as possible create their kick-ass next chapter. And for my own personal growth as well. Doing the podcast each week is one of my favourite things. I love interviewing guests and hearing their stories about how they got from point A to point B and the lessons learned along the way. But I've had a huge amount of resistance around sharing my own story. It has felt a bit vulnerable to put my whole life out there on the world wide web for everyone to hear. Not to mention listening to myself talk for 30 minutes. Why is it so hard to hear our own voices? So in this episode, I’m sharing all the gory details of how and why my life fell apart at the age of 50 and the process of rebuilding it to create my own kick-ass next chapter as well as all the lessons I have learned along the way. I would love for you to listen and let me know your thoughts. I hope that you can see yourself in some part of my story and that there's a thought or idea that might resonate with your own midlife reinvention journey.
