Now that things have opened up post-pandemic, we are traveling and out-and-about as we were before, but we need to be more aware and vigilant than ever when it comes to our personal safety.  We have all had situations where we have felt vulnerable or threatened and having the wherewithal to have an escape plan at that moment can be overwhelming.  And what about our children?  Many of us are sending them out into the world to college or perhaps to the city for the first big job.  How do we teach them safety basics?

When Lorna Selig was a young woman, she managed to escape assault twice.  Later as a mother, she participated in a children's safety program, and that is when she had the "lightbulb moment".   Lorna knew this was her calling.  She wanted to become a champion for personal safety and be a steward of empowerment for women and children.  She ended up buying the Safe4Life program and became a successful entrepreneur, speaking to groups and corporations around North America.

 In this episode Lorna and I discuss:
-Travel tips
-Living alone or having a partner who travels
-Midlife dating safety 
-Out-and-about personal safety
-Protecting our children

The Sober Curious Movement is quite evident when you start digging into the internet.  There are apps, self-help social media groups and tons of alcohol free drink options being marketed today.  While the pandemic saw both men and women drinking more, women had a higher increase in heavy drinking than their male counterparts, which has many of us reassessing our own relationship with alcohol.

Jenn Kautsch started taking stock of how alcohol was impacting her life and researching gray area drinking.  She wanted to share her journey with a broader audience and help other sober curious women.  What resulted was the founding of Sober Sis, an all-female support group that is now a 20,000 women-strong network.  

Whether you wish to drink less or not at all, Jenn provides the information to help you make informed decisions around your health and life goals.

In this episode Jenn and Michele discuss:

-Jenn's journey and the mental tug-of-war
-Alcohol, connection and intimacy
-Alcohol use disorder and gray area drinking
-The detox to retox loop and surviving "wine o'clock"
-Sober Sis programs and The 21 Day Reset

In this episode Dubai-based model and “grey ambassador”, Caroline Labouchere, is on a mission to debunk the myth that individuals in their 50’s and beyond, are “old”. She wants individuals to pay closer attention to the language they use to label others and engage in meaningful discourse to understand each other. An advocate of ageless living, she remains curious about learning and life and hopes to shine a positive light on “the middle years”.  

As someone who has suffered from depression for the last fifteen years, Caroline advocates that women are proactive about their health and get to know their bodies.  She encourages young women in particular, to engage in open, candid conversations with their mothers about menopause and aging. 

This discussion is honest and frank, but Caroline hopes that it will inspire everyone to be the best version of themselves, embrace what is around the corner, and to get excited about life and its myriad of possibilities.
