#85: The New Face of Menopause, with Jeanne Chung, Founder and CEO of Mighty Menopause

Posted on April 14, 2020

51 mins

Today we take a break from coronavirus and talk instead about:

Menopause.

Jeanne Chung’s career experience has ranged from engineer to investment banker to yoga instructor and wellness entrepreneur. But when she encountered a painful side effect of menopause, she discovered that the medical community had no answers for her, and so she found her next purpose. Jeanne took her love of science, knowledge of business and passion for helping others and transformed it all into an exciting new venture, Mighty Menopause. Mighty Menopause offers cutting edge information and natural supplements to educate and elevate women. It is Jeanne’s mission to bring menopause into the 21ST century and give it a new face. Maybe even her own.

#83: The Great Do-Over, a conversation with Deb Boulanger

Posted on April 7, 2020

33 mins

We are all ready for a great do-over.

That’s why we decided to talk to Deb Boulanger.

She is a master of reinvention and a wise resource for self-care.

As the president of The Great Do-Over Inc, host of Life After Corporate Podcast, and founder of The Launch Lab for women entrepreneurs, Deb is experienced in twisting adversity into a creative opportunity for growth.

“This pandemic has forced us to rethink what we do and how we do it. There is opportunity here for women to solve new problems in innovative ways, however, anxiety and creativity can’t exist in the same mind at the same time.”

Join us as Deb advises that we all find ways to go into a “self-retreat,” and create space to connect and process all that we are facing and feeling.

In times like this, we are called upon to listen to ourselves, own our skills, and become a part of the solution.

What does your do-over look like?

We were inspired and restored by this conversation with Deb. We hope you will be too.

#82: Stories of Resilience with Lauri Landry

Posted on April 2, 2020

18 mins

What does it mean to be resilient? The Webster Dictionary says this:

  1. The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.
  2. The ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.

They both sound important to us. Especially now.

This week we hear thoughts from one of our 12 in 12 women who is devising a verbatim theatre project.

Verbatim theatre is a form of documented theatre in which plays are constructed from the precise words spoken by people interviewed about a particular event or topic.

Actor Lauri Landry’s topic is resilience.

It’s a kind of arts-based research. And for Lauri, it’s a journey of self-discovery.

Listen as Lauri Landry describes her creative process and discusses the benefits of our group.

#81: Inner Authority with Blair Glaser

Posted on March 31, 2020

35 mins

Are you walking in circles? Having trouble focusing? Eating an entire cake in one sitting? We are, so we called Blair Glaser for help.

We asked her, is it possible to maintain your own self-authority even during this time of distress and panic? Blair says yes, even if it means authorizing your own personal meltdown. Own it and make it a good one.

Listen to our very helpful and playful conversation with Blair, a leadership mentor, executive consultant and creative problem solver. She gives us several creative ways to manage anxiety and uncertainty. And she offers us tools to find solace and inner strength when we feel scared and alone.

Tough times. Tough women.

We are happy to share this conversation, and Blair, with you.
