One Career Doesn't Define a Person / Interview with Jennifer Degenhardt

If you are seeking something in life that you simply cannot find, but feel the need for it, then you can create it yourself. Just because you have done one thing and done it very well, doesn't mean you have to continue on that path, simply because others believe you should.In today's episode with educator Jennifer Degenhardt, we talk about following the breadcrumbs towards your purpose in life. It can be scary, but if you are brave enough to move towards your dreams, even with nay-sayers in your ear, then you just might find yourself living your best life!When we get out of our own way and stop living in fear and embrace what is possible, we start living life on our own terms and feel a freedom like nothing else.

The Last 2023 Episode / Your New Year's Pep-Talk with host Patti Diener

Does the start of a new year bring you anxiety or joy? Do you get excited for what is to come or are you too busy sweeping the last bits of the previous year under the rug? In this final episode of 2023, I talk with you about all the reasons we should celebrate instead of rush to get the year over with. Reflection of all we've accomplished, all we've endured and survived, and all of our growth in 2023 cannot be forgotten in our quest to welcome in a new year.Like many of you, I too can get tangled up in the holiday chaos. But when I catch myself melting down over lost almond extract, I realize the humor of the situation and right myself. I embrace the beauty of another day, and invite you to give yourself grace during these transitional times. We are perfectly imperfect. We deserve to honor all we have been through, all we are going through, and anticipate wonder and excitement for all that is to come in 2024.LINKS TO THIS EPISODE:Thanks to our sponsorsFria Cooling Jewelry :https://www.myfria.com/ GET YOUR 50% OFF USING CODE: SECONDACT50 at checkoutDaniela Stevens Coaching: https://www.danielastevens.com/bedrockGRAB YOUR FREE 6-DAY EMAIL COURSE FOR DANIELA STEVEN'S CERTIFIED SEX & INTIMACY COACHINGBeautiful Second Act Info:Website: https://beautifulsecondact.com/ Join the Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/beautifulsecondact Follow on Instagram: beautiful_second_act Grab my FREE PDF: 10 Tips After 50 Thanks everyone for listening this year to the podcast.
