Women Over 50 - A Life Redesigned

Hey Redesigners and welcome to another episode of Women Over 50 - A Life Redesigned. I am your host Shelly Drymon and this is the podcast where I have conversations with women over 50 who are in the world doing amazing things, and busting through the stereotypes of what it means to be a woman over 50 today. My guest today is Susan Haworth. Susan has been providing counseling, coaching and consulting for four decades with a host of clients and customers in a variety of settings on both the East and West Coasts. You can find out more about Susan and grab here book on her https://www.cambioscoaching.com/ (website. ) After receiving her B.A. in Psychology and M.Ed. in Community Counseling, Susan worked in mental health facilities in Atlanta, GA providing counseling to adult substance abusers and adolescents and their families.  Taking a sabbatical from direct service, Susan segued her career into managing social service programs. When the 80's hit, Susan headed back to school and earned an M.S. in Management which she parlayed into a corporate training and consulting business.  As the principal of her consulting practice, Susan provided communication skills training programs and individual coaching for Fortune 500 companies and their managers. Being in the epicenter of technology (the San Francisco Bay Area), Susan seized another opportunity to reinvent herself.  In 2017, she decided to go world-wide by providing coaching and consulting via Skype. Cambios (changes in Spanish) Coaching and Consulting seemed like the ideal moniker under which to operate. Changes are what Susan's life has been about as she moved from coast to coast; married, divorced and remarried; wrangled with single parenting and step-parenting; changed careers; made new friends and continues to turn things inside out.

Join our off Facebook community! Kate is a coach who combines storytelling with coaching to empower women in the workplace.  Stories are a brilliant way of taking yourself slightly out of the emotional centre and regarding it from a distance. It really helps to see the situation more clearly. Kate grew up in a theatre family. Her grandfather was an émigré from Poland who started a theatre as a business venture and there they all stayed. Kate's dad and uncle ran repertory and commercial theatres. Her mum was an actress. Her sister is a theatre company manager, and her husband an actor and her daughter a theatre director. Kate worked in stage management in repertory theatre for five years then moved to London where she fell into work by luck with the National Theatre and her first job was on a Harold Pinter play with Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson. She worked at the National Theatre, Old Vic, Young Vic and then in musicals. On the 20th Century, Barnum, Camelot, Phantom and latterly at Les Miserables while her twins were small. She was there for nearly 5 years. Company managed the 10th anniversary concert at the Albert Hall and later show called the 25th anniversary concerts of Les Mis and Phantom. The way you think affects the way you behave, affects the way you feel, affects the outcome. The thoughts changes. The behavior changes, the feeling changes, and it changes the outcome, and it is actually that simple. ~ KateFor more information about Kate check out her http://katesalberg.co.uk/ (website.)

I was of no less value in the world than I'd ever been.

Today's guest is Neeahtima Dowdy is the creator and host of We're Not Dead Yet: Women Rocking their Next Chapter, a YouTube series for and about women over 40, 50, 60 and beyond who are reinventing themselves, discovering new talents, and dreaming new dreams. https://www.youtube.com/c/WereNotDeadYetWomenRockingNextChapter (Her YouTube series is fantastic and I highly recommend you go give it a watch! ) Neeahtima grew up singing and dancing, and as a teenager was an Apprentice to the Dallas Ballet. But having been raised by a single mom, “starving artist” was not an attractive career, so she chose to pursue another track and was a first-generation college student. After earning a Bachelor of Journalism and working in both reporting and public relations in college, she enjoyed a career in a myriad of roles: writing, editing, corporate communications, branding, political campaigns, and finally a VP at a public affairs consulting firm. Marriage and motherhood then took center stage, as she raised three busy red-headed children and managed the family enterprise. She, nevertheless, continued to use her skills in ways outside the family, from founding a mom's group, to serving in church leadership, to creating and teaching a middle school musical theater group. An habitual do-it-yourselfer, Neeahtima is known to design and sew an evening gown, refinish furniture, install landscaping, or build out an entire unfinished room. After a couple of decades of taking pride ensuring that others flourish, Neeahtima is seizing this next chapter to dream her own new dreams and inspire other women to do likewise.

They often see things in a moral context — and that's a vital balance to the competitive systems that tend to drive too many decisions. Key Messages: How can women push back against systematic gaslighting, pushbacks, and denial? By learning to take the space and time to be heard. There are ways to do it without direct confrontation that are powerful and effective.  https://annettesimmons.com/ (Annette Simmons) a keynote speaker, consultant, and author of four books, including The Story Factor, listed in The 100 Best Business Books of All Time.

Motorcycles colored her childhood until she and her family moved to Northern Michigan and later to Vermont. At the age of 16, she went to Bard College at Simon's Rock where she earned a BA in Literature and Music History.  She's been a cook for a baroque orchestra, a sculptor's assistant, a resume writer, and a yoga teacher. She started (and stopped) her own welding shop. She has repaired farm equipment under the blazing sun on the Fourth of July and decorated cakes resembling the Palace of Versailles on Bastille Day. Writing has always been her foundation.  After a forty-year hiatus, she started motorcycling again when her son graduated from college. To celebrate his achievement and fill her impending empty nest, Jane, her husband, and son took a 10,000-mile motorcycle trek across the United States; this adventure is the subject of “Spirit Traffic: A Mother's Journey of Self-discovery and Letting Go.” She lives, writes, and rides in Hinesburg, Vermont with her husband John, a yoga teacher.

If you have a limiting belief, beliefs that is putting the pedal on the brake, you know, it's like having the pedal on, on fast forward and went on the brake. It just doesn't work. Right. That's the first concept. Then the second concept for me is like a subconscious mind is like that huge warehouse. Where everything is stored, everything you've heard, you've seen, you felt you intuition everything, the red flags, but that never necessarily all came to your conscious mind because you would go crazy if everything would come to your conscious mind.~ Janylene   The beliefs about change are very important. So as a society, we carry beliefs about age. We carry beliefs. Change. And if you mix the two together, It's it's, it's very normal that people will come to this type of work with some kind of a deep rooted, seated beliefs about age and about change. ~Janylene Concerned about your drinking. https://womenforsobriety.org/ (Check out Women For Sobriety. ) Support this podcast

Previously I had walked from the fridge to the sofa and back multiple times. I considered camping to be a loathsome pursuit. Hiking was something one did for a few hours before rounding off the day with a hot chocolate and an even hotter bath. I came back to the UK, did my quarantine, then set about writing a book about my endeavors. Memorable Quotes "We put ourselves down instead of just accepting a compliment and saying, thank you. We'll just react. And actually that's the easiest way to find out if someone's got insecurity issues. I've had to really train myself or someone gives me a confident, I just say, thank you. ~ Person Irresponsible  “There's still this sort of petulant immature. Feeling when you first come into recovering and life's not fair and you have lots of temper tantrums about it, but on top of that, the reasons why you drank in the first place, a lot of us drank on trauma and be great. And unaesthetic alcohol is a fantastic anesthetic.” ~ Person Irresponsible  You can get Person Irresponsible book here https://amzn.to/3qXU12X (Everything You Ever Taught Me: If you've a lot on your mind, go for a walk...)

Memorable Quotes: “I don't think we realized the power of actually wanting something and thinking about it and dreaming about it and then actually making it happen. I think a lot of times we think things just happen to us. We can just go through life. And this happened today and this happened today. When I think when you live more intentionally, it's like, you, you plan it out a little bit and the universe delivers.” ~ Michelle  “So really being intentional about who you surround yourself with, because if you surround yourself with people who whine and complain and I can't, I'm afraid, then you're going to whine and complain and you're afraid. But with you surround yourself with women who, who do dream big and who do accomplish those dreams and who are positive and moving through life with an intentionally that that's who you will be. ~ Shelly  Be a Part of the She Squad with Michelle.

Today's episode is the second part of our Getting Your Shit Together mini-series with Michelle Horton where we will be talking about being brutally honest with ourselves, living our values, and being compassionate.  As women over 50, we have been conditioned to check off certain boxes. Like if we can check off the boxes that contain a good career, stable relationships, and a nice home, we think we've got our shit together. And while Michelle and I were able to do just that, we still felt like we were not living our best lives. So make sure to tune in until the end because Michelle and I are diving deep about being honest with yourself while having self-compassion, and the importance of having strong core values (the non-negotiables).

But I think it's easier when you're over 50 because there's nothing to lose.” - Michelle Horton  “There's also a lot of power in sharing your story, even if it's just one other person who can just sit and listen.

In my conversation with Lynn, I had so many aha moments and bite sized wisdom, and I know that you are really going to enjoy this! One of my favorite takeaways from this episode was a phrase that Louise used when she found out that she had climbed a mountain of success, but had climbed the wrong one. So as you listen to my episode with Lynn, I want you to ask yourself a question: are you climbing the right mountain?  [00:01 - 11:00] Opening Segment  Welcome to the podcast!
