Here's a little secret: asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, but a catalyst that propels us towards our goals and dreams. The truth is, asking for help isn't always easy, it's something I have grappled with at times. But let me share with you how this simple act of asking for help transformed a live event at the recent International Festival of Arts and Ideas into a Reinvention Rebels podcast episode that can inspire your reinvention journey. It all started with a technical challenge for which I had no answer, but with the guidance of my amazing team, we made it happen. The result? A dynamic conversation with two  inspiring and remarkable women, Ellen Pankey and Lisa Franco. The opportunity to speak at the Festival was amazing and I'm so happy we could re-broadcast this conversation for our Reinvention Rebels audience as an episode. If you didn't have a chance to listen last week, you're in for a treat.In this short episode, I'm spilling the beans on the power of asking for help and how it made all the difference for me.You'll learn:✅ Why we should ask for help more readily (people WANT to help us!) ✅ How I was specifically able to overcome my challenges by asking for help ✅ How asking for help propels us forward as we reinvent ourselvesI know so many capable women are used to doing everything themselves. I've so been there. But there's so much grace in letting our guard down, being open and partnering with others to help us on our journey. Whether you're just starting out or have been on this journey for a while, I hope this episode will inspire you to get a little help from your friends as you take action towards your dreams.

The title of Dr. Ellen Albertson's book, Rock Your Midlife, tells you just what you need to know about what's inside. But it doesn't stop there. The subtitle is, 7 Steps to Transform Yourself and Make your Next Chapter Your Best Chapter. Of course, we were intrigued since we're all about midlife at Sisters Cracking Up -- and all about making it the best it can be. Dr. Ellen Albertson is a force of energy, light, and healing. She has grabbed midlife by the chin hairs -- and she shows you how to do the same. We loved this book for its honesty and straightforward advice and we knew we had to have her on the show. With chapters like, Befriend Yourself: From Self-Loathing to Self-Love and Empower Yourself: From Helpless to In Charge, there's something here for everyone who's wondering how to live the years we have left with integrity and passion. If your next steps are unclear, or you can see them but can't figure out how to take them, you won't want to miss this episode. Abby and Julie also discuss (okay, sing) a possible theme song for Julie's TV show if the opportunity might ever arise. They also talk (okay, whine) about the amount of time and work it takes to keep a podcast going, and how Abby's early motherhood years were largely spent in her efforts not to have a complete breakdown.

What would be possible if a tiny idea cooked up in your kitchen at 56 led to a bold midlife reinvention playing out in your 60s? And what if that reinvention helped other midlife women to normalize and embrace aging, learning to love the skin they’re in? Such is the reinvention journey of 61-year young...

What would be possible if you boldly reinvented yourself until you found the just-right fit, and then helped other women reinvent themselves in equally bold and inspiring ways? What if your work as a reinvention coach not only helped women 50+ see new possibilities but also helped turn ageism in the workplace on its head?...

What would be possible if you gave yourself permission to fully focus on your reinvention journey?Unlimited reinvention possibilities, that's what! You can do, create, and be anything you like when you commit to seeing your reinvention journey through.The truth is that reinventing yourself doesn't happen overnight.

It takes prioritizing your self-growth and self-care over other things competing for your attention.It acknowledges that your hopes and dreams deserve your focus.It means you are amazing and worth the investment!You can accelerate your reinvention journey further and faster when you understand that reinventing yourself is more than a list of tasks to cross off a list.

I share how I:gave myself permission to focus on my reinvention journey (aka be happy!)ditched people-pleasing to focus on my dreamslearned to say no to others in order to say yes to memade my reinvention journey a priority, not a "someday" tasktuned into my purpose and passion as reinvention catalysts embraced a "perfectly imperfect" mindset to take forward action Commitment is key (along with Curiosity and Courage - My Reinvention Rebels 3 Cs)!Come join me for motivation and inspiration to fuel your own Reinvention Rebel journey.

What in the world does self-permission have to do with aging? (Hint: everything!)What's possible when we give ourselves permission to grow, expand, step into our greatness, and love our lives?Does self-permission also mean greater self-love as we age?Those are some of the compelling questions 61-year young Natalie Wester and I discussed on the latest episode of the Reinvention Rebels podcast.Natalie is a badass with a compelling reinvention story. She retired early, creating a minimalist life to start pursuing her passion for travel. That passion, fear and excitement morphed into a 70-day solo trip around the world with one carry-on bag. OH YES!And that's just scratching the surface of how The Hot Goddess blogger has reimagined her life. (you must check out her blog, SO funny)Come join us and learn about Natalie's journey of self-permission, self-love and recognizing that if she can travel solo for 70 days in unfamiliar territory, she can pretty much do anything. Such a juicy, inspiring, nothings-going-to-stop-me-now conversation about what's possible if we let up on self-doubt and press the gas pedal of self-permission.Permission to feel more joy, to have new, sometimes scary but enriching experiences. To live full out, embracing life with open arms.Yes please!! I don't know about you, but I want more of THAT!(And did I mention that she started a 12-week apprenticeship as a whiskey intern for Cleveland Whiskey? From blackboard to bourbon, this Reinvention Rebel is on fire!!)I love what Natalie shares about how:·        she's more capable and brave than she thought·        living a simpler and smaller life brings her joy·        she's okay with not knowing all the answers·        she's learning to get out of her own way·        she's not putting a label on her self-discovery journey, it's unfolding!Sit back and enjoy an awesome and inspiring conversation that will have you leaning into your Inner Reinvenention Rebel.

When was the last time you did something for the first time? What are you doing different in your midlife or what struggles are you going through? We all have our issues, situations, struggles that we are working through. We have a few steps or things to think about that may help you.

This week, Jen, Tara, and Lana catch up on the latest happenings in their lives, perimenopause, and more conversations on aquaponics than you want to hear!  This episode's icebreaker is all about going to the movies.  Are you a movie person?  Do you enjoy going to the movies or is it just an over priced entertainment experience?   How do you feel about the Holiday season?  Do you look forward to it or do you dread the cooking, get togethers, etc?  Tune in as, Jen, Tara, and Lana talk about good ol' Holiday stress. We're knee deep in the holiday season and it seems like when we are supposed to be “enjoying” the holidays we feel more stress than joy.       The ladies would love to hear from you and what you think about this topic, so leave a comment on Reinventing Midlife's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!

In this episode, we're turning the tables and Jen McDonald is being interviewed! Find out more about Jen's story as a military spouse of three decades, which led to her writing a book for other spouses and starting the Milspouse Matters podcast. Lana Simmons, cohost of the Reinventing Midlife podcast, puts Jen on the hot seat.  We'll talk about feeling like a fish out of water as a new military spouse, adapting to the quirks of military culture, all the moves, living overseas, raising military kids, deployments, her family's homeschooling journey, and the second career she's found.  You'll want to tune in to this fun episode, where Lana does her own "quick 5" questions and we talk about that one time Jen met Chris Hemsworth and her brief (and of course, embarrassing) encounter with legendary "Stormin' Norman" General Schwarzkopf.

Then join Lana, Jen, and Tara, who offer a fresh, positive take on mid life--because it’s not a crisis! Sandwiched between boomers and millennials, this podcast is for Gen Xers who know midlife isn’t about trying to look like they’re still in their twenties or wearing themselves out attempting to regain their youth. We’re proud of our wrinkles, scars, and saggy skin, because we’ve earned them!
