When does impostor syndrome really show up? When we’re trying to make a change.
—Denise Miceli

Denise Miceli is an inspiring, empathic guide and mentor in creating space for change and growth. She is known for her talent in energy healing, intuitive hot-seat coaching, and teaching new ways of accessing authenticity.

After enduring a difficult, dark-night journey, Denise cleared traumatic memories and emotional patterns that blocked her authentic self using subconscious healing. In her work with others, she has been inspired to share this simple and accessible healing modality.

In this episode, Denise and I hold impostor syndrome up to the light and regard it from a few essential angles: Where does it come from? What is it trying to tell us? What can we do when we feel its grip?

Denise holds a supportive container for those ready to heal and allow their soul the freedom to awaken their infinite potential. She shares some of that healing magic with you in today's talk.

No matter what the question, Love is the answer. Love with a capital L.
—Abdi Assadi

Abdi Assadi is a spiritual counselor and healer with four decades of clinical experience in acupuncture, body-centered psychotherapy, indigenous shamanic practices, and diverse meditative techniques. He is the author of Shadows on the Path: Revelations and Pitfalls on the Spiritual Journey and A Healer’s Handbook: A Guide for the Beginner Practitioner.

I asked Abdi to join me to discuss the behemoth topic of how we humans can maintain balance in turbulent times. The conversation covers so much more—as it usually does when we get going. Here are a few highlights:

• The importance of relationship with Self in a hyper-individuated culture 
• How a death practice helps us live more fully
• Why Love really is the answer to every question

Abdi also leads us in a brief awareness exercise that rounds out all the "yapping" we've done for the hour. Well worth the trip.

Through extensive self-study and first-hand experience, he has been gifted to serve as a channel for the words the world needs to hear at the most crucial moment in history. He is the author of The Essential Revolution series.

Heather Claus has lived an atypical life. She’s traveled across the country, exploring (and teaching about) alternative lifestyles and communing with diverse people. All of her experiences thus far have led her to the belief that boundaries are the key to not only saving ourselves, but our relationships. Her new book, Take No Sh*t! Build Better Relationships Through Discovering, Creating, and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries In Three (Sometimes Five) Simple Steps is now available for purchase.

In this episode, Heather and I speak of the importance of boundaries in all kinds of relationships, whether personal or professional. We also take a few candid moments to address boundaries in midlife—how and why they are so important as we move into our wisdom years.

I want to inspire women to say: I wanna be that broad! and see fearmongering about age become a thing of the past in my lifetime. Let roaring into age prevail!

—Maryjane Fahey

Maryjane Fahey is on her fifth reinvention (but who’s counting?) as founder of Glorious Broads—the epicenter of confident, unconventional women over 50. She cut her teeth in print, art directing, and rebranding magazines, then rode the Internet tsunami writing for Bustle, TZR, Huffington Post, and AARP. She also co-authored the book, Dumped: A Guide to Getting Over a Breakup and Your Ex in Record Time! 
 

Glorious Broads is now her focus and love child. Currently, she’s developing a television series called, “Glorious Broads: Let’s Talk About Sex.”
 
 Join us as we dive into what it means to be a glorious broad—and how women can start being glorious now, even if they're not yet in midlife.

 Heads Up: This episode may be NSFW. Depends on where you work, I suppose.

Nan Krueger is a designer who's passionate about the power of interior design. She never really fit in at school, but her sanctuary during those painful times was the home that her parents lovingly designed. Now her mission is three-fold: to create a sanctuary for every client, make interior design available to more people, and help our planet through sustainable design choices.

In this episode, Nan and I take a closer look at each element of her three-fold mission. Then we adjust the lens of her work to focus on women in midlife. Specifically, how women over 40 can create a space at home where they can easily do the work they’re dreaming about—and where they have exactly what they need.

When we learn more about death, dying, and grief—and share our experiences—we become more death literate, reducing anxieties and fears about end-of-life. This understanding can help us approach life and death with wisdom, honor, and respect.

Join us as we discuss these topics and more, including how the British comedy troupe Monty Python can be an excellent teacher as we consider our personal connection to death and dying.

Using fairy tales, ancient arts, sacred sciences, and “everything in between,” he empowers people of all ages to develop and use their infinite soul powers to achieve their full potential.
