Reinvent Your Life
Get Rid of Aging Stereotypes
Are you a woman over 40? Are you a Baby Boomer? The question is not how old your birth certificate says you are, but how old do you feel? Do you feel the way you’d like to feel? What do you need to work on? Is it time for you to shake things up?
That could be hard for you to do, depending on your prior conditioning and life experiences, especially if you have lived through upheaval, due to loss, illness or various other trials, disappointments and tough changes.
Western society has some odd ideas about aging. In many cultures, elders are respected and revered. Here, that is often not the case. Youth is worshipped all-too-often. Personally, I don’t get it. I wouldn’t want to live through my teens or young womanhood again.
By the time we reach a certain age, most of us have been faced with some challenges and losses that have caused stress in our worlds and that have put fear into our hearts.
Some of us even bought into the negatives messages and began to accept that we, as older women, aren’t vital, useful, attractive people who can still accomplish a lot, dream of more, and strive for more.
There is enormous pressure to look young, feel young, stay young. Advertising has coined expressions like “50 is the new thirty” and “70 is the new 50”.
Sadly, some people do have to contend with health issues. We can still use our knowledge and determination to defy those aging stereotypes. We can value ourselves and be valued as mature women. We can strive to keep our brains, bodies and attitudes youthful and vital.
There have been huge advances in many fields, so our longevity has increased. There is so much knowledge now around the sciences of aging, nutrition, exercise physiology, etc.
We can refuse to be put out to pasture, no matter what TV, or corporations try to tell us. We women, especially, have the capacity to function and be vital, powerful forces in business, the arts, in our personal lives, if we want to.
Perhaps you are a mature woman and have been through loss of a spouse, or a divorce. This is not to say that younger women don’t go through this too. I was widowed at 35. Yet certain challenges may be increased for somewhat older women.
Maybe you’re starting to think about getting out there, making new friends, even dating or finding a relationship if you’re alone?
You may not have a clue what is next for you, but you want help and support at finding ways to age differently and to enjoy life more.
As we age, we may also be faced with caring for aging parents, or even for a spouse or partner who is ill, or who has dementia. It’s so difficult to find time for ourselves and to learn how to balance our responsibilities with our own needs and dreams. It’s true that “getting older ain’t for sissies”.
That’s where I come in. We can work on your getting you past the roadblocks of your fears. We can find ways to boost your confidence, to clarify your goals and help you build a new life, or a new career that honors your wisdom and life experience and brings out your inner spirit and youthfulness. We will discover the things that give you new energy and new zest.
We can do this working together in 1-1 coaching. I also run small live groups, usually 6-8 weeks in duration, where you get coaching from me and support from other women in a similar situation.
Are you a really busy professional who is feeling very ready for amazing transformation? Don’t know how you will find the time to commit to months of sessions with me? I may have just the thing for you!
We can schedule a few deep sessions on a couple of weekends. You have to be able to commit to a high level of work, accountability and also be ready to pay a reasonable premium for the super support and weekend availability by me, your dedicated coach. I only accept a few women here and there, for a program like this. Is this something you’d like to talk about? Contact me and we will discuss it.
Life Lost Its Bloom? Let's Turn You Into A Pizazz Ager!
If your fears about this new stage of life are threatening to squash your joy, there is help and hope. If you have lost the glow that comes with satisfaction, with excitement about life, we NEED to talk. If you have lost the energy that comes from having interests and passions that make you want to get out of bed and embrace the new day with enthusiasm, it’s time to address that, and to find ways to change it.
When your life has lost its bloom, you can revive it. Just as you might send a soil sample to your State Extension or Agriculture Service to figure out what’s going on in your garden and to add nutrients so your plants will once again flourish, you can do that with your life. It’s not just a question, though, of figuring out what’s wrong, or why. You need to develop plans and workable strategies that are just right for you.
You’re the Expert on Your Life, But I Can Help You See Things In A Fresh Way!
A coach, no matter how skilled and talented, is not an expert on your life. You are, but a coach has tools and techniques to help you put all the pieces together. When you care enough about yourself to hire a coach, (the right coach) you get a partner who commits to going 50-50 with you in figuring it all out, helping you look at your world differently, through fresh eyes.
