Did you know your skeleton is an organ and that it’s constantly changing? As you get older, this process becomes more unbalanced and can possibly result in osteoporosis.

Why do women struggle to take a freakin’ compliment AND self-applaud their hard work and everything that did go right?

This past week I got together with two girlfriends from the gym at a local wine bar. I didn’t realize how much I missed hanging out with friends (at a real restaurant) until this past weekend!

If you’re in your 40s, 50s or even 60s, you may think it’s too late to startup. Wrong.

I am sharing this with you today because I know we all are going through some serious feelings these past couple of days, weeks, months.

Through our work with SecondAct|Women, we’ve heard a lot of different words used to explain where some of you are in your second act.

Regardless of where I am, be it in a meeting, on the phone, or on a Zoom call, I can assure you I’m listening but odds are I’m also randomly drawing funky shapes, patterns or abstract sketches on my paper.

Life, it’s a crazy thing, especially in these uncertain times. Our lives have been put on pause quite literally and for some, their livelihood.

Living life according to someone else’s rules can be a real mind f**k, especially when you didn’t even realize you were doing it.

Do you remember being in elementary school and chanting this little ditty when another kid launched a snotty comment at you or one of your friends? “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”
