Living Starts after Retirement: Women Recreating their Lives

Have you considered that there are parts of you that are literally tied up in knots? How do we release these knots? How do we even begin to loosen them? In this episode we'll travel along our life adventure together, heroes on the path. YOU are the hero of your own life. And every hero knows there are gifts that go with the adventures and challenges. What are the gifts and how do we find them? The two gifts are gratitude and humour. How can they help us find ease and loosen those knots, even maybe release the knots entirely? Join me and find out. 

Sometimes we need to make a change in our lives in order to find love and happiness. But change can be scarey. How do we take the small steps to make change happen? How do we learn to trust ourselves? How do we listen to ourselves? What might prevent us from being able to take the next small step? Together we'll explore these questions, and look again at love. We'll look at how our hearts and souls nudge us to take those small steps to find love and happiness. 

In this episode we’ll look at what beliefs we have around love? What beliefs do we carry that can stop us from feeling love?  The true mystery of life that we are invited to be part of is available to us, if we are only able to believe it is possible.   

Are you willing to risk being imperfect? In this episode we’ll look at the different ways we try to protect ourselves from feeling imperfect. We’ll talk about the consequences of that protection, and how it can keep us from being our most beautiful shining selves.

What does it mean to just be ourselves? In this episode we’ll explore permissions. We’ll consider the question “Whose permission do you need to just be yourself?” We’ll examine the drivers and needs that prevent us from being ourselves and examine what it means to give ourselves permission. Finally, we’ll look at permission to change.

How does it feel to lose your keys? What if that feeling is exactly the same as the feeling of having lost touch with your sense of self? Have you ever thought of it that way? We seem to always be seeking this sense of self. In this episode we'll explore what it means to lose our sense of self, or happiness, or success. What does it feel like to come home to ourselves? Can we understand that we need to stop the endless seeking, and find out that what we've been seeking is right here.  

Join me as we explore what love for the sheer joy of it can be. We'll talk about innocence, and why we feel we've lost touch with it. I share the story of watching quidditch players running with broomsticks between their knees.We'll look at expectations and the complications of love when it is attached to an outcome. We'll talk about love - the ocean of love that we belong to, and are part of always. We've just forgotten. I'll tell you about how I learned to love myself.

This episode is my invitation to you to join me on the adventure of a lifetime. Together we’ll set off on a path of discovery that will change your life. I’ll tell you a little bit about myself and give you an overview of what we’ll be exploring in the coming episodes. After retirement, and once we’ve realised many of our dreams, there comes a moment of pause. In it we can find an opportunity for personal growth that will last us the rest of our lives.
