Old Chicks Know Sh*t Podcast

Aligning With Your Worth

In this episode, we get a little bit woo-woo in this beautiful discussion with Tara Kinden, Coach, Founder and CEO of Worth Camp™ and host of The Worthy Woman Collective podcast.
The heart of this podcast is about guiding women back into their worth. We dive into the importance of learning how to rest more and to trust our own intuition. Did you know that all women are creative but how we each express it is different? Discovering our version of creativity is important because creativity and self-worth are tied together. By allowing our creativity to flourish, it allows our worthiness to expand exponentially!
Tara is an expert in Human Design readings. Human Design allows us to get to know our true selves, who we are and what we’re here to do. I've had my chart done with Tara and we discuss my experience and how it helped me take back my power and connect with my deepest desires.
Prepare to have your mind awaken in this powerful podcast.

Finding "HER" Within

Today I have a conversation with author Janis Dougherty who shares how her life was upended through death, divorce and cancer. She explains how feeling completely lost in her life and finding rock bottom lead her on the journey to find herself.  We discuss the 20 questions from her book “Her Within” that we all should be asking ourselves to uncover our most authentic self at this time of life.  
She encourages us to connect with the 'HER' within that is hiding in so many of us. To find her, to trust her, to love her.
Learn more about Janis:
As a woman who set out on her own journey to connect with something that was missing, Janis found that women around the world are facing this same turning point in life. Many women have lost a connection with their HERwithin.  The comfort of finding that place where there is no judgement and plenty of encouragement is HER. That intuitive voice women hear or that nudge that they feel is HER. Janis teaches women how to connect with HER through the steps of Find HER, Embrace HER, Allow HER, Trust HER and Love HER.
Janis is a mother of two, a stepmom to three and an advocate for women to follow a path of fulfilment and “Discover the Woman Within”.

Discover Your Soul Style

Does your style reflect who you are at a deeper level? Perhaps you've never thought about it. Midlife is a great time to do a self-inventory and help your outer image reflect your inner being.
This a super interesting conversation with Soul Stylist and Confidence Catalyst, Amanda Weil. She helps guide women to feel SEEN by infusing fashion, self-growth and spirituality. Such a great mix! Amanda debunks some of the typical 'fashion rules' that the media and even we have set for ourselves.
We talk about making changes to the way we look at clothes and our style and how to represent our authentic, soul-self through the way we dress. Amanda challenges the way we think about colour and reviews how working with the chakra system can bring exciting new life into our wardrobe and life.
Such a great way to connect with one of my favourite topics, fashion, and blending it with another favourite topic, soul growth. Enjoy!
Learn more about Amanda:
My speciality is styling businesswomen who feel stuck in a rut with their corporate dress codes. I’ll help you discover the style of your true self so that when you are sitting in a meeting you are not afraid to speak up and you feel more respected.
After 14 years as a corporate executive, I know firsthand how stifling and robotic it can feel wearing outfits that do not allow your true self to shine. I have mastered how to infuse a style awakening for my clients so their wardrobe calls forth the most confident and connected version of themselves while maintaining a business edge.
A few minor changes in one's wardrobe can make a huge impact on confidence and thus life and work decisions. My clients are successful businesswomen who have had enough of feeling robotic and masculine due to their office dress code and crave to feel alive when they dress for work. I guide them to find their true style and use their newfound confidence to elevate their performance at work.

Lessons From My Reinvention Journey

This episode of the podcast is a little different. It's the very first ever solo episode of the show. This is something that I have been resisting for a while.
I made a promise to myself for 2021, to ramp things up a bit and get back to taking some uncomfortable steps for the growth of my mission to help as many midlife women as possible create their kick-ass next chapter. And for my own personal growth as well.
Doing the podcast each week is one of my favourite things. I love interviewing guests and hearing their stories about how they got from point A to point B and the lessons learned along the way. But I've had a huge amount of resistance around sharing my own story. It has felt a bit vulnerable to put my whole life out there on the world wide web for everyone to hear. Not to mention listening to myself talk for 30 minutes. Why is it so hard to hear our own voices?
So in this episode, I’m sharing all the gory details of how and why my life fell apart at the age of 50 and the process of rebuilding it to create my own kick-ass next chapter as well as all the lessons I have learned along the way. I would love for you to listen and let me know your thoughts. I hope that you can see yourself in some part of my story and that there's a thought or idea that might resonate with your own midlife reinvention journey.

I talk with Lori Massicot who is a Life & Sober Coach for midlife women. Lori shares the story of her 30-year journey with alcohol and how she knew that it was becoming a problem for her. 
We talk about what it means to be sober curious, societal pressures and self-awareness around drinking. Lori encourages us to look at how our relationship with alcohol is impacting our relationships, careers and even personal goals. We talk at length about how alcohol is impacting the many hormonal changes and menopause symptoms that we experience at this time of life.
