Wellness is a lifelong journey, but each decade brings its own unique challenges and opportunities.

Join us as we explore how women can thrive in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

My guest, Kayla and I discuss reframing self-care as we age, viewing fitness as a long-term investment ("muscle is your body’s retirement plan"), and **leveraging emerging tools like GLP-1 peptides during perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause to maintain wellness throughout the decades.

Kayla Johnson shares actionable insights and inspiring strategies for navigating life's stages with strength, health, and vitality.

Join us for new perspectives on women's wellness throughout the decades of remastering life and work.

**Kayla and I want to emphasize that this is not medical advice, but rather a topic to discuss with your qualified healthcare practitioner. **

Writing a book is a powerful way for women executives and entrepreneurs to leave a lasting legacy. Think of the expertise you’ve built over your career—the lessons, strategies, and experiences that shaped your success. A book lets you share that wisdom with the world.

Helen specializes in helping executives and professionals write their books. In 2018, she made a bold move from Toronto to Buenos Aires, and she’s here to share her insights on writing, life transitions, and why it’s never too late to chase your dreams.

Beyond leaving a legacy, a book opens doors. It establishes you as a thought leader and creates opportunities for consulting, public speaking, or new partnerships. It’s a chance to reinvent yourself and connect with an audience that values your unique insights.

When it comes to nutrition, weight management, and holistic health, Abraham isn’t just a dietitian—he’s a game-changer.Think of your health as the foundation of a house—strong and built to last. To live a vibrant life, that foundation needs care and reinforcement.

Longevity isn’t just about adding years; it’s about making those years full of energy and meaning.

With the right attention, your health can become a source of strength, empowering you to trust your ability to face life’s challenges with ease and grace.

Meet Joelle Kaufman, who believes cancer—and business challenges—aren’t battles to fight but curveballs to crush with strategic leadership.

After a life-changing cancer diagnosis, she turned her journey into the #1 bestseller, "Crushing the Cancer Curveball."

Drawing from her expertise as a business leader and baseball mom, she created the Curveball Method—a system that helps executives shift from solving problems tactically to leading strategically.

Tease Key Takeaways

By the end of today’s episode, you’ll learn how to tackle life’s curveballs with resilience, create joy even during tough times, and transform as both a leader and a person. Let's get started!"

Today, we’re tackling an issue many women face in their professional lives—having a seat at the table but still not being heard. It’s a challenge that shows up in boardrooms, meetings, and beyond, and it’s time we talk about it.

Are you a senior executive, business owner, or professional with great ideas that aren’t taken seriously? Are you tired of working twice as hard to get buy-in that seems easier for others? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

Join us as we delve into the art of being heard, uncover strategies to overcome communication barriers, and discover how to enhance your presence to feel seen, valued, and confident in any setting.

Today, I’m joined by Elizabeth Bachman, a renowned expert in advanced speaking, presentation skills, and leadership.

Today, we are exploring outdated perceptions of this phase of life that has been known as “retirement” . We are going to explore the new perception that women are embracing as they craft a new chapter that I now call the Executive Encore. I call it the Executive Encore for good reason.....

As my guest, Suzanne Campi says….Surprise! Retirement is here and you’re just NOT as old as you thought you would be! You’re still vibrant, full of life, and up to so much…..

What's important to you? Take the quiz.

Returning to work in 2025 doesn’t have to mean falling back into the same grind.

Female founders, now’s the time to realign with what matters most. Take a moment to reset, restore your energy, and rise stronger.

Success comes from integrating all parts of your life and work, and YOU define what that looks like. 💼🌟

💬 What’s one way you plan to reset and refocus when you return? Share in the comments—your ideas could inspire others! 💡

💬 Gender disparities in fundraising communication. How female entrepreneurs can adapt their approach to succeed in these high-stakes situations. Pitch your dream; not the stats.

My guest, Katie O'Malley, shares her perspective and expertise on the unique and persistent challenges women face in the workplace and the need for representation at the highest organizational levels. Katie highlights five main challenges: the double bind, the idea of only one woman succeeding, the "dearth" of recognition, gender-normed behaviours, and the "made-up" concept of imposter syndrome. Katie urges us to actively recognize other women's achievements and deconstruct gender norms to promote equal opportunities. Katie recommended the "Feminist Fight Club" by Jessica Bennett for practical strategies to address these challenges. Katie is a female entrepreneur with expertise in providing career coaching, leadership development, and workplace consulting to individuals and companies in the US and the UK. Since launching (en)Courage Coaching in 2018, Katie has been on a mission to elevate underrepresented individuals to the rooms where decisions are made. True workplace joy and justice remain elusive until these groups are represented at the highest organizational levels.

As women executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders in our respective fields, we often prioritize our work and caring for others above everything else. We constantly strive and push ourselves to meet deadlines, achieve goals, and attend to the needs of others. While determination and hard work are commendable traits, it's equally vital to prioritize self-care proactively instead of reacting only when overwhelmed or distressed. Self-care encompasses a wide range of practices that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Self-care can include exercise, healthy eating habits, meditation, spending time with loved ones, pursuing hobbies or interests, and taking breaks from work. The analogy of the airline safety message "apply your own mask first" is cliche. Linda introduces us to the power of embracing the "Me First" mindset. Linda shares her venture on the Camino del Norte in Spain, flanked by contrasting cruises. Discover how Linda relates travel to self-care and navigating life transitions.

In this episode, we will explore transitioning from the corporate sector to flourishing as an independent business owner.

Kiri has been a successful freelancer for over a decade, navigating two recessions while working just 20-25 hours a week, raising two children, and keeping up with all things Star Wars. Kiri's programs transform women freelancers' and contract-based businesses from struggling to thriving, guiding them to grow their freelance ventures, achieve sustainable incomes, and reclaim their time.

Kiri believes you can remaster your life and work with a meaningful purpose, a flexible schedule, and the sustainable income you deserve.

Many people face this time of life on their own, whether they are divorced, widowed or never married.

Marianne calls it Flying Solo. I am delighted to invite Marianne to share her wisdom and experience about transitioning to your next chapter with strategies for independence.

Discover what it means to fly solo, redefine your life on your terms, flourish, and find fulfillment. Learn about the unique challenges and enriching victories that come with shaping a fulfilling next chapter on your own.

This is a time when many of us take stock of our lives and contemplate what’s next.
