Confession.  Atonement.  A fearless and searching self-inventory (AA).  Religion, 12 Step Programs, and self-help are full of exercises helping us take stock and finding forgiveness with the help of others or a higher power. 

What I find often lacking is one more step.  Self-Forgiveness.  The act of letting ourselves off the hook once another person or G-d does.

This podcast is usually geared towards real life storied, hero’s journeys, if you will, of both everyday people and a few folks with extra ordinary stories.  We talk practical tools, fascinating insights and boots on the ground wisdom.  On Friday’s, I share my own thoughts, observations and tools that come from my work with coaches, spiritual leaders, and my experiences with my own clients. 

Today Liza will take us behind the headlines and the sensationalism to share the real effects addiction and mental illness have on families regardless of background. Hers played itself out in public, but if you’ve experienced even a fraction of a similar story, you will hear yourself through her experience. Liza brings refreshing realness to a story you thought you knew.

Karen joins me to share what it means to reinvent one’s self during their midlife years. She explains the concept of ageless aging and why midlife doesn’t always happen when you’re forty. She describes how you can expand your network and career opportunities past forty. Karen also shares why reinvention can happen at any age.

Kate joins me today because “divorce” comes up in at least 50% of my conversations.  It is a time when normally reasonable, loving people can be at their worst.  Who you choose to represent you and how you go about “uncoupling,” can affect the rest of your lives, not to mention the experiences of the children involved.  In this episode, Kate walks us through the differences between Litigation, Collaborative Law and the benefits of Mediation.  This episode is so useful, I have shared the raw files many times before publication.  If you are going through (or have gone through) this, all too common, life experience, I promise you will walk away with invaluable information and insights.
