Welcome back to BeREAL! This week Diana and Ednesha are joined by the rest of the BeREAL team, Jessica Seavor and Don Jackson, to discuss the anxieties that the team has faced throughout the creation of this podcast. Acting as moderator, Don asks Jessica about her fears of coming onto the show for the first time after working behind the scenes in the past. Jessica talks about the nerves she had regarding her fears that she would sound stupid when put up against Diana and Ednesha. Diana shares similar anxieties when they have someone on the show who she deems more accomplished or educated. Don points out Diana's habit to laugh as a meaning to cope with nerves that build up while the hosts are recording. Next, Don discusses how he attempts to quell the hosts' anxieties before recording, by allowing them to chat for minutes on end without interruption. This allows them to not only get comfortable with the setting, but comfortable and closer with each other. Moving to Ednesha, Don asks how she feels about being a black woman on this podcast. Ednesha shares how she is nervous about the way she is perceived. At times she feels overwhelmed that others may see her as a representative for all black women and that puts pressure on her to say everything correctly. She also speaks on how her relationship with Diana has grown overtime. She has apprehension at first that she would not sound as eloquent as Diana as Diana is her mentor but as time goes on they have become much closer and now recognizes them as equals in this endeavor. After a short break, Don returns to ask Diana about her views on the podcast. He focuses on her role as both a host and as a business owner. At times, Diana fears that it will all come crashing down, especially given the state of the world, however, overall she is very proud and excited about what she has accomplished. Diana expresses the optimism she feels for the future and the idea that she gets to continue growing along with everyone that has become a part of this journey.

Welcome back to BeREAL! This week, Diana and Ednesha are joined by Lorraine C. Ladish to discuss her history with an eating disorder, being your best self at fifty, and overcoming adversity. Lorraine is a 21st Century Communicator, helping empower women and others to achieve their goals. She is the founder and CEO of Viva Fifty! a bilingual community that celebrates being 50+. She has worked as an editor and social media coordinator for a number of online publications. She's a content creator and regular contributor to NBCNews, Huffpost, AARP, Babycenter and Mom.me. She has contributed to People en Español, La Palma of The Palm Beach Post, Purple Clover, Latina magazine and Redbook . My latest book on embracing age was published by HarperCollins in 2017. Most of all she is a woman, a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a writer, an entrepreneur, and a yogini. Lorraine begins the episode by giving a summary of her life. She covers a wide range of events that happened throughout her 57 years beginning in childhood. Throughout all these stories, she ties back to themes of survival and perseverance. She delves into details about her struggles with an eating disorder, and how it affected her life and those around her. Lorraine also touches on the publication of her book that centered around her eating disorder. She believed it would not find success in Spain (where it was first marketed) because of it was not something that was discussed culturally. However, it was a hit. Next, Lorraine tells the story of how her life turned around suddenly before she was eventually able to find success. At 45, Lorraine suddenly found herself in the United States, unemployed, divorced, and with two children to take care of. Through various writing jobs, Lorraine was able to revolutionize her life once again, taking her from food stamps to becoming a successful entrepreneur. Lorraine concludes the episode by discussion where she is today. She talks about how much joy she has being in her fifties, and how she doesn't believe she has even reached her peak yet. She discusses body positivity, both her struggles with it and how she promotes it to other women through Viva Fifty! She reflects on her role as a mother, and how she teaches her daughters about self care and self love. Thank you so much for tuning into BeREAL this week!

From recovering from eating disorders, thriving after being homeless, starting a business in the Great Recession, publishing her first book before age 30, learning to let go of her marriage and allowing herself to fall in love again, all this and more while raising two young daughters.

Enjoy this episode, starring her dog at some points, tech problems and all, let's just get real.
This week on the podcast we talk with author, entrepreneur, and influencer--Lorraine C. Ladish. Lorraine calls herself a 21st Century communicator who helps empower women and others to achieve their goals. She has always put an emphasis on fitness in her life, and after a running injury when she was 48, has been devoted to yoga. So much so, that last year she gained her certification as a yoga instructor. Lorraine's poses are admired across all of her social media and websites and she has worked with AARP on a series of yoga videos focused on beginning yoga for older adults. We wanted to chat with Lorraine about how important moving is to her as a habit, and what she believes about exercise as she ages. Her passion for exercise reflects all of the reasons daily habit #1 is MOVE. She talks with us about why she doesn't like to miss a day of moving and how it affects so much more than just her physical body. Over the course of her life, she has faced many challenges and moving her body has always been something she uses to help her mood, her energy levels and her stress. We also talk about how she's learned to meditate as a way of stress reduction and why she believes that being still is just as important as moving. Viva Fifty Flawed Yogini Lorraine C. Ladish

Lorraine es autora, escritora, editora, conferencista y amante de las redes sociales, pero también es mama de dos niñas y un niño. Algo muy particular de Lorraine es que siempre ha trabajado por su cuenta y aunque la vida no le ha sido color de rosa, siempre encuentra lo positivo en lo que vive y lo usa para impulsar tus sueños hacia adelante. Es la fundadora de VivaFifty.com, una comunidad bilingüe que celebra la vida a partir de los 50.
Lorraine C. Ladish is a 21st century communicator and age disruptor who empowers women to achieve their dreams. She is the founder and CEO of Viva Fifty!, a bilingual community that celebrates being 50 and above. Lorraine is also a woman, mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, writer, entrepreneur, and yogini. Lorraine was born in Spain to a family of writers. Her grandfather owned a printing press and on the weekends and after school, Lorraine and her sister would help him collate books. She can still remember the smell of the ink, the glue, the paper … Lorraine's father made a huge effort to ensure that all of his children could express themselves fluently in two languages. He wanted Lorraine to be a marine biologist, but because she grew up watching him write books, she chose to be a writer. Or maybe writing chose her. Lorraine wrote and published her first book - about an eating disorder she battled for years - before she turned 30. Her world was never the same after that. Today, she is the author of 18 books. Lorraine has worked as an editor and social media coordinator for a number of online publications. She is a content creator and regular contributor to NBCNews, Huffpost, AARP, Babycenter and Mom.me. She has contributed to People en Español, La Palma of The Palm Beach Post, Purple Clover, Latina magazine and Redbook. Lorraine is active in two languages on social media platforms Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, where she has over 16,000 followers. She posts regularly and passionately about everything from family, to fashion, to current events, and more. Lorraine's next book - on embracing age - will be published by HarperCollins in 2017. Lorraine is very creative. She loves to draw. She has spent most of her life dancing (modern, jazz and Latin). She used to be a runner but then she rediscovered yoga. Now she spends a part of every day finding grace on and off the mat. Lorraine married in her mid-thirties. She had her first child at 37 and her second at 40. Being raised by her abuelita affected how she has mothered her own children: giving it her all, striving to be the best mother she can. She loves her daughters with all her heart. In 2004, Lorraine moved to Florida; incidentally, one day before a hurricane hit the Sunshine State. Four years later, during the Great Recession, Lorraine's world crumbled. She lost her marriage, her savings and her source of income. She found herself absolutely broke—emotionally and financially. But with two little girls to take care of, and with the help and inspiration from many friends along the way, Lorraine managed to reinvent her writing career by taking it online. A year later, Lorraine met the love of her life, who is also a writer. And guess what else? He’s multicultural, bilingual, and a parent: the father of a young boy, of similar age to her daughters. What more could she have wished for? Now Lorraine and her husband, Phillippe Diederich, live together as a blended family with their three children and the dog they rescued. Their children are teens and tweens, who get along just like real siblings. Together, they navigate the same challenges facing other multicultural families in the United States. Lorraine's dream is to one day live in a house by the beach. But she's not complaining. She can hop in the car and be soaking her toes in the ocean in less than ten minutes. All this while she pursues her love of inspiring women to live a full life and to chase their dreams!

Tu palabra es todo lo que tienes. Siempre hay que trabajar como si te pagaran aunque no tengas dinero. El mejor consejo que me han dado es aquel al que no le hice caso por seguir trabajando en lo que a mi me apasiona. Ser latino significa ser simplemente MÁS. TRANSCRIPCIÓN DE LA ENTREVISTA: - INTRO - Julio Muñiz (Host): ¡Hola! Bienvenidos a Inconfundiblemente Latino, soy Julio Muñiz. Hoy estamos platicando con Lorraine Ladish. Lorraine ha publicado 18 libros sobre las relaciones de pareja, relaciones familiares y profesionales, emprendedores digitales y, libros sobre como vivir de una manera más completa. Es colaboradora de Latina Magazine, NBC News, Huffington Post, entre otros. Es fundadora y CEO de Viva Fifty! Media, una comunidad online que celebra la vida plena después de los 50 años. Lorraine es experta y apasionada de las Redes Sociales y del mundo digital, donde día a día comparte su visión y experiencia. De esto y mucho más vamos a platicar con ella. Lorraine, bienvenida a Inconfundiblemente Latino. Cuando te pregunta a que te dedicas, ¿cómo lo explicas de la manera más sencilla? Lorraine C Ladish: Ayer me hicieron la misma pregunta y contesté "It's not easy", pero yo siempre digo que principalmente soy escritora y comunicadora. Soy autora de libros y además manejo una revista digital. Esa es la respuesta corta JM: Platicábamos antes de empezar que estás trabajando en varios proyectos. ¿Cuál es el que te tiene más apasionada? LC: Lo que más me apasiona, es escribir libros. Quizá es porque empecé como escritora. Ahora estoy trabajando en un proyecto de libro del que no puedo decir mucho, pero que me apasiona. JM: Estaremos pendientes y lo compartiremos en las redes de Inconfundiblemente Latino cuando esté listo. Lo que hacemos en Inconfundiblemente Latino es celebrar las historias de éxito de los latinos en Estados Unidos. Compartimos sus experiencias, consejos y las herramientas que les han ayudado a conseguir el éxito. Queremos inspirar a quien empieza su carrera profesional o quien no sabe como llevar su negocio al siguiente nivel. Platícanos cómo es que te convertiste en una escritora. ¿Qué te motivó? LC: Yo tuve la suerte de nacer en una familia de escritores. Mi padre es escritor y mi abuelo era escritor. Mi padre quería que yo estudiara Biología Marina porqué decía que en la escritura no había dinero. A mi me gustaba la Biología, pero me gustaba más escribir. Mi abuelo siempre tenía libros en casa, tenía una imprenta y mi hermana y yo pasábamos los sábados pegando y poniendo tapas a libros. Yo leía los libros de mi padre, veía a mi abuelo escribir y a muy temprana edad tuve la suerte de darme cuenta que yo no podía tener un trabajo regular. No me gustaba la idea de una oficina e incluso me costó peleas con mi padre. Me di cuenta que yo tenía que trabajar para mi sola. Tenga una amiga de 22 años, que ella me considera su mentora, y me dijo que tampoco podía trabajar en una oficina. JM: Que importante seguir nuestras corazonadas y encontrar nuestra vocación. LC: Yo creo que todos, de alguna manera, sabemos lo que queremos hacer o por lo menos, lo que no queremos hacer. Yo lo observo en mis hijos. Veo que la más pequeña es más artista y se inclina por eso. Le he dicho que si ella quiere hacer arte, que lo haga. En gente de mi generación, escuchaba a su familia que le decía lo que tenía que hacer. Por eso creo que hay mucha gente frustrada porque ahora se da cuenta que...
