Liz Applegate is a life coach and fellow podcaster, whose show "Midlife Schmidlife" was born when she googled the term "midlife" and what came back was "the wrong side of 40". After talking to Liz, we believe she is on the right side of just about everything. Listen as we discuss the concept of "shoulding", undiagnosed postpartum depression, and whether 50-somethings should exclusively be wearing caftans. Emotions run the gamut as Ellie wants to be Liz's new bestie, and Julia gets extra feisty as she invents "Smelly Pirate Whore Island" and then unpacks the new 2022 North American Menopause Society's position on Hormone Replacement Therapy and whether or not it causes breast cancer.

I feel quite jealous whenever I hear tales of women striking out on their own and having incredible solo travel adventures. I wonder who I would be without the thoughts of not being courageous enough or hurting someone else's feelings for a desire to travel alone.  Today's guest encourages other women to embark on their solo travel journeys. Yolanda DeLoach finds empowerment and peace in solo travel, camping, and hiking. Her schedule as a hospice/palliative care nurse enables her to have long stretches off to pursue travel and hiking.  In the spring of 2021, she became a Thousand Miler after spending a year section hiking the nearly 1,200-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail in Wisconsin. On long road trips, she enjoys sleeping in her truck, Fiona, and searching for free places to camp. One of her all-time favorite places is Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior, where she has done solo backpacking. The solo travel experience is exhilarating and offers great capacity for personal growth. She encourages women who want more solo experiences to start in a comfortable place: a walk in a local park, a day trip to a neighboring town, or camping at a familiar campground. Currently, Yolanda is writing a memoir about reclaiming her spirit while section hiking the Ice Age Trail. She shares her advice to women in midlife: "Don't be afraid to try things solo. The most common response women say when they hear about my solo adventures is, "I wish I could do something like that!" You can! Take small steps." You can connect with Yolanda on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/autumnyearshiker And Instagram:  https://www.Instagram.com/autumnyearshiker Yolanda's Bonnie & Clyde story that is mentioned in this episode can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/autumnyearshiker/posts/pfbid03HoCzfSDpr94K9ED9eh3FWCdEKu72m7KUVhyGgeJkBy7f8MEd8kezeS3BKbqBD8dl Yolanda is one of my few guests who is not an entrepreneur.

We are continuing with the series “Reclaiming Midlife.” This episode's question before we join today's conversation…how would your life be different if you accepted and celebrated all of who you are?  Think about that for a minute.  All the “flaws” you feel you have and are magnified in how you see yourself. While all of your gifts are downplayed. All the areas where you have been successful or are proud of that you brush away. Everything you've gone through that has led you to where you are… What if, instead of thinking it was no big deal - you thought “Hot damn, I'm pretty amazing!”  Sadly, we've been taught to not get too big for our britches. Or that bragging isn't nice. That being boastful makes you arrogant.  I have a theory that comments like “don't get too big for your britches” is what I call a “good girl rule.” We learned this as a child as a way to fit into the proper box of being acceptable as a woman. And here we are, over 40 and still living by those standards.  My friends, you can claim your brilliance without being a jerk. You can be confident in who you are as a person and not belittle others. In fact, by claiming yourself, you are giving permission for other women to do the same. You can point out your daughter's, sister's or friend's magic and celebrate that for them so they can then see it in themselves.  And I think that's one of the amazing attributes today's guest brings to the show.  Kim Romain is a holistic life & business strategist helping busy professionals move from chaos to clarity in their work and life. For years (decades, even), she thought there was something wrong with her because she couldn't settle on the "one thing" she was "meant to do" in this lifetime. She had 11 different undeclared and 5 different declared majors in college and has had 6 major career changes (not just job shifts) since then. When she was introduced to the concept of being a multi-passionate individual, she felt like she was finally able to breathe. Clearly someone who doesn't like to settle for one things at a time, Kim describes herself as an artist, theater-geek and D&D enthusiast, who is deep into the practice of meditation and mindfulness, loves playing the violin, working with her crystals and Oracle cards and will jump at any opportunity to whip up culinary delights in the kitchen or plan a super fun party with all the bells and whistles. Head over to the show notes to find direct links to connect with Kim online, previous Midlife Schmidlife episodes mentioned in this conversation as well as a photo of a dessert that Kim shares in our conversation. 

This week's podcast guest is Valerie Albarta. Valerie is an author, a blogger and podcaster at Midlife-a-Go-Go, a speaker, a TedX Charlotte presenter, and is working on another novel. She is a kick-ass woman. Despite her diagnosis in 2020, Valerie continues to show up and inspire us to do the same. A little over a year ago, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 57. "It's been a difficult journey filled with unexpected dips and turns, but I continue to navigate life as best as I can. The good days far outnumber the bad days, so I hold onto that." We continue in the series "How They Got Started," and in our conversation, Valerie shares her journey from starting a blog, a podcast, and shy she has taken a step back to focus on her novel. Her story is a reminder to focus on what is important and make time for your passions. When I asked Valerie to describe herself, this is what she offered: Valerie is a woman who wants to steer clear of sounding cliche at all costs. But honestly, I love midlife women. My concern is I don't want us to be pushed aside by the emerging population. I think we're fabulous and offer so much to society. I'm trying to offer hope, inspiration, and motivation by sharing what I do. Am I the best midlife cheerleader around? Probably not. But I like what I do, and I love why I do it. Midlife is hard. But look at how we're handling it! And like many midlife women, I, too, have my challenges. Everyone has a bit of a sob story to tell, and I know I'm no different. But unfortunately, my challenge sent my life into a tailspin. A little over a year ago, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 57. It's been a difficult journey filled with unexpected dips and turns, but I continue to navigate life as best as possible. The good days far outnumber the bad days, so I hold onto that. I try to remain optimistic -- about life, my illness, and the world in general. And as a midlife woman, I know that the knowledge, experience, and wisdom that we bring to the table can't be faked, bought, or duplicated. We're the real deal. So I try to get everyone else to see that as well.

Liz Applegate interviews guests and learns about their journeys: the ups and downs, lessons learned leading them to where they are now. Be inspired to take your first step, continue along your journey while being open to possibilities.

In this podcast episode, I'm speaking to three other podcast hosts about what they've experienced in changing up their shows. I'm super honored to have each of them join me, and I deeply admire them as outstanding podcasters with remarkable shows. I'm speaking to Liz Applegate, Andrea Owen, and Elsie Escobar about what they've experienced in changing up their podcasts. We're covering: Changing up your show with a mini series Liz Applegate of Midlife Schmidlife joins to talk about how she decided to do a mini-series after she'd stepped away from her podcast for about a year. She had played with the ideas of starting a new show, and decided to simplify and do the easiest thing: keep the show name, the intro/outro, the music and the cover art and just add in a new topic that was speaking to her in the moment. The result was that she rekindled her joy of podcasting and has decided to jump back in with her show, with new episodes scheduled to come out in October 2021. Liz Applegate's Podcast, Website, and Community When to consider changing the name of your podcast Andrea Owen is well known for her delightful show, "Your Kick-Ass Life." She loved the name, and also eventually wrote a book with the same title. A few years passed and she felt that she needed a new name: for her show, her business, and for another book that's just come out, too. She decided to change it all over to "Make Some Noise" to reflect the new direction and branding she chose. She loves this new name and is excited about moving forward with it. Andrea Owen's Podcast, Website, and new book (Make Some Noise) Listen to Andrea's discussion on Jump Start Your Joy Should you start a second show? I started podcasting with one show: Jump Start Your Joy. It's been lovely, AND since I started I have also changed my career to being a podcast producer. There were topics that I wanted to cover that did not really fit into the first show. I took a long time considering how I wanted to address my new passion, and decided that it was with a new show. What happens when it's time to end a show? Elsie Escobar of She Podcasts and Libsyn started her podcasting journey with a show about Yoga: Elsie's Yoga Class. Her website and branding was all focused on "Yogeek." After several years, she decided to retire that brand. She has also stopped creating new episodes for her yoga class show - and she talks about what happens when you embrace change. And even though it may be uncomfortable to let go of something you've created for several years, change is inevitable. Read the full episode notes on my site.

Hey, hey, hey! This is episode #2 of the series that I’m that I’m running over at the Midlife Schmidlife podcast called “Now More Than Ever” where I’m holding Facebook Lives on topics that I feel are important during this time of shelter in place and in turn turning them into a podcast. This week, I’m introducing you to two of my favorite humans - Lara Heacock and Jo Casey. We are in a business mastermind together and have been meeting for over two years. But this conversation isn’t just for business owners - what I’m hoping that you get out of this conversation is the fact that real connection can be made even in these trying times and this mastermind is proof. The three of us share what a mastermind is and offer ideas on starting one even if you don’t have a business. We talk how shelter in place has affected connection in our daily lives but also ways we are getting through. Plus we really dive into having connection with ourselves and what we need during this roller coaster of a time. You can find Jo Casey over at https://www.jocasey.com/ Lara Heacock at https://laraheacock.com/ and https://kindovermatter.com/. Lara also has a book on Amazon, Practical Kindness: 52 Ways to Bring More Compassion, Courage and Kindness into Your World.

It’s been quiet here on the Midlife Schmidlife podcast but as I’m putting together this episode it's April 16, 2020 and we are in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic. Most of the world is in “shelter in place” mode and that has brought up new ways to have to manage our daily activities. Like a big spotlight, this pandemic is showing us what’s important, how we show and our loved ones show up under stress and places that need a little “tweaking.” Because I firmly believe that what is showing up for us now - was showing up for us before, it’s just easier for us to see.  That’s what I’m bringing you to a popup series of the podcast called “Now More Than Ever.” I’m inviting guests to have a conversation about ways to use this time to grow and decide what you will carry with you into the future.  These conversations are happening as Facebook Lives first on my Facebook page and then will be shared here on the podcast. You are welcome to both of course! My first guest is Dorena Kohrs of Space Doula. Dorena is a Feng Shui master and intuitive space & energy clearer. She is a believer that we can use our homes to reflect the lives we want to live and it’s some fascinating stuff! Dorena and I had a conversation last week about boundaries both physical and emotional. Many of you are not working from home for the first time full time or your partner is. There is the fact of having the kids home and managing distance learning and so many other scenarios. Dorena offers some insight on how to make all of this happen and we also talk about respectful conversation. Be sure to head over and find out more about Dorena at https://spacedoula.com/ Show notes with all of the links can be found here: https://breakingthegoodgirlrules.com/blog/boundaries-now-more-than-ever

Inna Lukyanovsky is a doctor of pharmacy, a functional medicine practitioner, a best-selling author, a gut-healing coach, a mom of three sons and someone who once, suffered the symptoms of Chron's disease. Originally, in the year 2000, she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. After the birth of her second son the symptoms came back with a vengeance and the new diagnosis was Crohn's disease and the symptoms were so severe they felt completely debilitated. The initial diagnosis of Crohn’s disease was devastating. The belief was that there was no return to normal with Crohn's disease, an autoimmune disorder with no cure. Just imagine, here she was a healthcare professional and not able to find relief within the traditional medical field to help her colitis and Chron's diagnosis. And this is what led Inna down the path to discovering functional medicine to help herself, not even realizing that this would become her life's passion to help others. Inna feels passionate about the body’s natural ability to heal. It’s an amazing feeling to know you helped someone get back their energy, improve their digestion, increase their sexual drive and simply help them feel good in their skin. Inna is a gut-healing coach and can take clients over the phone.You can find out more about how she can help and about functional medicine on her website, http://www.realhealthsolutionsllc.com/functional-medicine Inna is offering her book, Chron's and Colitis Fix,  to the Midlife Schmidlife listeners.

A recent hot topic with my mastermind has been that of confidence. About two months ago, we did a webinar for the first time on it, and found that it was such a deep and wide topic. This episode is a two-part one … today you’ll get to hear part one on my show and on Wednesday, part two is airing on Liz Applegate’s show, Midlife Schmidlife. There are a couple of things I know to be true about confidence: nearly everyone, at some point, struggles with feeling self-confident. While it’s not unusual for other people to look and act extremely confident, the thing I’ve found (especially in talking to so many guests for the podcast) is that at some point or another, everyone doubts themselves. And I want that to sink in for you. Even published authors, even rock stars, even the front man of a band, or the voice of a super villain – every single one of them has shared with me that they don’t always trust in themselves, and, they feel like other people likely have it more together than they do. The other thing that’s tricky, and interesting, about confidence is that it’s an emotion you only feel after doing the thing that scares you. This is also universally true – even with outwardly confident people – that you’re going to run into things (often those things that are most important to you), that scare you. And, doing whatever it is for the first time? You won’t feel so confident about it. The tricky thing? The confidence comes AFTER you do the thing that is scary. It’s a bit of a leap of faith, and that’s what makes it so tricky, so scary, and why so many people stop in their tracks before even trying to do the thing that they are scared of. There’s another way of thinking of this – it’s not so much that you don’t have confidence in yourself, it’s that you’re feeling fear and that’s uncomfortable. In this week’s episode, Liz Applegate, Julie Houghton and I are tackling the questions of confidence. I hope you’ll join in. In this episode we talk about: How confidence shows up for us in our lives and work What it means to reconnect and claim your voice when you’re not feeling confident How being kind with yourself about your human experience of feeling afraid is a key component to working through your fears That everyone experiences not feeling confident The myth of comfort and safety vs discomfort How people pleasing, boundaries, and being afraid to speak up play into confidence Learning to communicate more effectively to feel more confident Identifying what is in your control, and how that builds confidence Resources Sign up for our Workshop on April 20th Listen to Part Two on Wednesday on Midlife Schmidlife Liz Applegate’s Website and Podcast Julie Houghton’s Website Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life (book on Amazon)
