What happens when we wake up in midlife and realize we've become someone we never intended to be? Award-winning playwright and filmmaker Brooke Berman joins us to explore this profound question through the lens of her debut feature film, "Ramona at Midlife," which recently premiered at Geena Davis' Bentonville Film Festival.Brooke shares her remarkable journey from acclaimed playwright to first-time film director at 52—a rare achievement in an industry where first-time directors are typically men under 35. Her candid reflections on creating an authentic female leadership style reveal the delicate balance between collaboration and direction on set, shooting an entire feature in just 15 days.The conversation takes unexpected turns as we discuss the liberation that comes with midlife awakening. When we were 25 and imagined our future selves at 50, most of us pictured someone who had "done the heavy lifting" and was essentially coasting. Reality proves far more dynamic and challenging, but also more rewarding than we ever anticipated.Most powerful is Brooke's insight about self-acceptance: "If I don't love the person I am right now in my imperfect skin, then what are we talking about?" This revelation, alongside her disciplined approach to self-care through morning rituals of meditation, yoga, and gratitude practices, offers a blueprint for thriving in our fifth decade.Whether you're approaching midlife, navigating its complexities, or looking back on it, Brooke's story will inspire you to embrace your authentic self and recognize that evolution doesn't end at 50—it often accelerates in the most beautiful, unexpected ways.Connect with Brooke. Listen now, and then watch "Ramona at Midlife" on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, or Fandango at Home to continue the conversation about reinvention and self-discovery.Ready to FEARLESSLY FACE all the F WORDS – be inspired and encouraged?

Fearlessly Facing Fifty and beyond - What does it mean to see yourself through a lens of beauty rather than criticism? This question forms the heart of my conversation with former Ford model turned photographer Kristen Jensen, who has mastered the art of capturing authentic beauty in everyone she photographs.Kristen's journey began in front of the camera, traveling to 34 countries during her 20-year modeling career. But it was the moment she picked up a Hi8 camera and started filming behind the scenes that she discovered her true calling. "I was used to being photographed, but I wanted to be on the other side," she explains. This transition from being seen to seeing others became her superpower – the ability to look at people through what she calls "a soft lens" that reveals their inherent beauty.As we navigate our 50s and beyond, many women experience a dip in self-confidence and struggle with visibility. Kristen's perspective offers a refreshing antidote: "It's not about perfection, that's not what sells. It's about energy." This wisdom extends beyond photography into how we present ourselves in every aspect of life. Whether starting a business, moving to a new community, or simply facing another day, authenticity trumps perfection every time.Our conversation explores the challenges of reinvention – from building new friendships to redefining purpose. We discuss the importance of having cheerleaders in your corner when taking risks, the reality of aging bodies that require different care, and the poignant experience of losing parents. Through it all, we return to the central question that defines this stage of life: "Who am I now?"Ready to see yourself through a kinder lens? Listen now to discover how embracing your authentic self – wrinkles, imperfections, and all – might be the most fearless act of all. Then join our community of women who are choosing courage over comfort every day as they fearlessly face their futures.Connect with Kristen hereReady to FEARLESSLY FACE all the F WORDS – be inspired and encouraged?

The silences that follow our "no" speak volumes. As women, we've mastered saying the word itself, but it's what happens after—that uncomfortable pause—where we often surrender our power. In this eye-opening conversation, author Amy Wilson discusses her new book "Happy to Help: Adventures of a People Pleaser," revealing how deeply ingrained the people-pleasing tendency becomes in women's lives. When Amy tells us that people-pleasing is "putting other people's wants and needs before your own," she's describing the unspoken assignment given to every mother, every woman. Yet this societal expectation exacts a serious toll, from strained relationships to physical illness.What makes this discussion particularly powerful is Wilson's ability to distinguish between life's unavoidable challenges and the optional burdens we assume. "When you've got a sick parent and a sick kid at the same time, you're not a people pleaser—you're just somebody with too much on your plate," she notes, helping listeners separate necessary responsibilities from those taken on purely out of obligation or need for external validation.The conversation explores "socially prescribed perfectionism"—the researched phenomenon where women internalize impossibly high societal standards—and offers refreshing perspectives on female friendships, writing discipline, and self-compassion. Wilson's advice to her younger self resonates deeply: "When hard times come, they're hard because they're hard, not because there's anything wrong with you."Whether you identify as a people pleaser or simply find yourself perpetually overwhelmed, this episode provides both validation and practical wisdom for reclaiming your boundaries without sacrificing meaningful connections. Listen now for a transformative conversation that might just change how you respond the next time someone asks for "just one more thing."Connect with Amy Wilson Click here:Ready to FEARLESSLY FACE all the F WORDS – be inspired and encouraged?

Laura Geller's remarkable journey from theater makeup to beauty mogul reveals the power of authenticity and the magic that unfolds when passion meets purpose.Laura shares the pivotal moment that changed everything - working one-on-one with real women at a makeup counter and watching them transform not just physically but emotionally. "I'd see them starting to come alive as I would make up their face...holding their head up higher," she explains. This spark ignited a business that would eventually take her to QVC, where she amazingly sold 750 units in just six minutes during her first appearance.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Laura discusses her decision to focus specifically on women over 40, a demographic often overlooked in the beauty industry. Drawing from her own experiences with aging skin, Laura developed products addressing the unique needs of mature women while keeping application simple. Her authenticity shines through as she admits she didn't always have the business acumen needed, setting prices too low initially, but learned and adapted along the way.Most poignant is Laura's passion for women's stories and her mission to champion them at every age. When asked how her son views her, Laura's answer is immediate: "He would tell you that I'm a badass." Her parting wisdom resonates deeply: "Don't be in a rush. Good things take time...stay in your lane."

Hey Fearless Friends - Send me a text and let me know what you are fearlessly facing as you age. You might get a shoutout on the show.And the F WORD IS: FASHIONFearlessly Facing Fashion as we age with Fashion designer, Karla Murguia, Founder of the Montsera Collective. Karla's story is a masterclass in following your soul's calling, no matter how daunting the journey might seem. From her comfortable position as a digital editor at Elle magazine in Mexico to the bold decision to start over in New York City, Karla demonstrates what happens when we choose courage over comfort.The conversation unfolds like a vivid tapestry, revealing how Karla's fearless spirit led her from prestigious fashion houses in Manhattan to remote villages in Chiapas, Mexico. There, she formed profound connections with indigenous women artisans who create magnificent textiles using backstrap looms—a technique they've learned since childhood. These artisans don't simply create fabric; they weave their cultural identity, community markers, and ancestral symbolism into every piece.What strikes you most about Karla's journey is her unwavering commitment to authentic collaboration. When taxi drivers refused to take her to villages protected by armed guards, she walked alone toward uncertainty. When communication barriers arose with artisans who speak Mayan dialects, she learned key phrases to honor their culture. Rather than imposing her designs, she invites the weavers' creative wisdom into every piece, establishing relationships built on mutual respect rather than exploitation.The Montsera Collective represents something far more significant than beautiful clothing—it's a bridge between worlds, a preservation of heritage, and a model for ethical fashion. As Karla's father wisely advised her, "Burn your boats"—commit fully to your path without the safety net of retreat. Through periods of doubt and tears, she persevered, understanding that meaningful success is "a marathon, not a sprint."Ready to be inspired by courage in action?

I've been there - and am a recovering perfectionist for sure! In this bonus episode I share my 3 tips to alleviate holiday stress and enjoy them! 1) Let go of the P word! Perfectionism. If all the holiday decorations, presents, cookies, outfits, and responsibilities must be done perfectly, you are setting yourself up for stress and over the top anxiety. It's easy to fall into the “if it's not perfect, I've failed” trap. Show your imperfections, your vulnerabilities….happy and meaningful - joy'full' hearts are what we need to strive for.Identify Your stress triggers 2) There is power in saying No. This is so challenging because we feel like we're letting people down. But when you make thoughtful choices about what you WANT to do and what you don't want to do, you can then participate in the things that are meaningful to you and bring you joy, rather than those that make you anxious. Build your VillageIdentify your connected community and ask for support! 3) Take time to remember those who are not with you. The holidays can be a sad and stressful time when you have lost someone that you love. Create a tradition to remember them.

Heidi Brown is the CEO and Editor-in-Chief at Brilliance by Brown, Inc., a media company for skin health. On this episode, Heidi shares her journey as a C-Suite executive, and the power of resilience, and what it takes to build a media company, transitioning from the tech to the skin care industry, and the importance of being transparent and providing a holistic approach to womens' skin health and wellness. The launch of Brilliance by Brown in late 2019 was a response to the lack of skin wellness insights and minimal marketing of skin care products to women over the age of forty. With a multicultural lens that spans the spectrum of skin tones and skin types, this single-source game changer leans into aging well, features conscious-minded skin care companies, provides skin wellness awareness programming, offers virtual access to medical experts, and thought leaders, and recommendations of skin care products for skin which requires more nourishment from head to toe.You can learn more about Heidi Brown and Brilliance by Brown here---------Are you ready for a Transformative Experience for womenCome join us....Fearlessly Facing Fifty presents: Meant For More!Dream about what is possible and feel the power in your pause - taking a weekend just for you.Weekend EventJoin Amy Schmidt, Kristen Coffield, and a carefully curated group of thought leaders around midlife and beyond, as we dig deep into all of the top of mind topics.

Do you ever wonder what it's like to be a producer for some of the most watched and highly rated daytime television shows? In this episode, my guest is the Emmy Award winning TV Producer, and media coach Amy Rosenblum. She has been a force in the broadcast business for over thirty years. Amy began her career at CBS news, where none other than Andy Cohen was an intern, and won an Emmy for a special report she produced with Dan Rather on “Women and AIDS”. Amy's TV career reads like a who's who in the world of daytime talk... Amy was Senior Producer of “The Joan Rivers Show”. Ratings grew, Joan won a Daytime Emmy and Amy and Joan found a lifelong friendship that was truly a bond more like sisters. Next stop Amy was Co-Executive producer on “The Sally Jessy Raphael Show” doubling ratings and from there she went to the “Maury” show where she "single handedly ruined America" (her words lol) by creating the on air paternity test. Amy caught the eye of NBC's Jeff Zucker, who brought her to Today Show as a Senior Producer. She later created the 10 am hour with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee and paired the two which created the perfect on screen co-host chemistry! Amy now runs her own incredibly successful media training and client management company 'So you wanna be on tv?'You are not going to want to miss this conversation as Amy shares her journey, her challenges and how she continues to create her #cannonballmoments.Click here to learn more about Amy and her media training businessClick here to visit Amy's Instagram---Ready to redefine menopause?

The myth that older women are invisible is shattered in this inspirational and revealing look at remarkable women thriving, leading lives rich in experiences and accomplishments that defy perceptions and reveal what is possible beyond sixty.

Have you felt pangs of loneliness in recent times? Are you longing for greater connection with others and the world around you?

Most importantly, she demonstrates, through examples from her 35 years of clinical practice, how others have successfully initiated the kinds of changes in their lives that engender the feelings of peace, satisfying connection, and enduring happiness we all seek.Of course, the advice in this book could not be more timely. A dedicated chapter not only acknowledges the very specific challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic presents for individual, societal, and global happiness, it advances ways to look at, cope with, and use the most daunting of circumstances to reimagine the kind of future that will make you happiest. By daring us to take charge of our emotional health and giving us the tools to do so, this book partners with its readers, reminding them that we are not at all alone in this pursuit....Subscribe to the Fearlessly Facing Fifty Podcast here------------------------------------------------------------------Are you ready for a Transformative Experience for womenCome join us....Fearlessly Facing Fifty presents: Meant For More!Dream about what is possible and feel the power in your pause - taking a weekend just for you.Weekend EventJoin Amy Schmidt, and a carefully curated group of thought leaders around midlife and beyond, as we dig deep into all of the top of mind topics.

One of the common things that hold people back from podcasting is the technical part of it. Just thinking about the amount of time and effort put into setting it up, editing, and booking guests is enough to send them running away. But what a waste of wisdom that is! Tracy Hazzard brings over to this episode Amy Schmidt, the host of Fearlessly Facing Fifty, to, like the name of her show, inspire us to see past our podcast tech fear so we can impart the insights that could help those who need it. Amy shares her journey thus far into podcasting, how she started and what changed since, and how she is working to increase her listeners, book great guests, and monetize her show. Plus, she also helps break down some podcasting misconceptions, pushing past the things that keep people from trying out their hand in the space.Love the show?

My podcast guest, Amy Schmidt, is fearlessly facing fifty. In her 49th year, she had a wakeup call. After moving eleven times and raising three children, she was ready to focus on the next stage in life and create something of her own. She shares the story of her marriage, moving every two or three years, working in pharmaceuticals, raising her three children, and living abroad in Germany. Twenty-seven years later, she launched Fearlessly Facing Fifty, to begin helping women fearlessly face fifty and beyond! In this episode of the Woman of Value Podcast, you'll hear: What she learned from moving so many times. How midlife is far from a crisis. How to be fearlessly facing fifty as a time of enlightenment. Why it's important to be grateful for the knowledge and perspective you've gained at this stage in life. Why it's so crucial for women over fifty to share their stories. #fearlesslyfifty #facingfifty #lifeafterfifty #podcast #womanofvalue
