Name it, claim it and tame it!</li><li>If you get to the root cause of a belief, and change a belief, it will give you evidne of a different belief. Rapid transformational therapy (RTT) is a method of hypnotherapy which helps you do that. </li><li>We have our conscious mind and our subconscious mind and our subconcious mind is 95% of how we feel about ourselves and the world, and the lens upon which we see the world. Its a million times more powerful than our analytical conscious mind.</li><li>Our inner voice or our intuition is the true north or guiding light …sometimes we stop trusting our intuition and life becomes very rocky and unstable when you cannot trust our intuition, or that gut feeling</li><li>We often don&apos;t believe that something is available to us - like enough money, or good health, or &quot;I don&apos;t know how&quot;, yet if we realize the power of our mind and the ability to shift our mindset - watch and see your life go in a different direction </li></ol><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>_________________________</p> <p>Schedule a <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-cc-ka'>Clarity and Next Chapter Call</a> with Kavita</p> <p>Take the <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-sc-ka'>Career &amp; Life Fulfillment Quiz</a> - find out what&apos;s holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.</p> <p>Connect with Kavita on <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kavita-ahuja-coach/'>LinkedIn</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/itsmytimenow.coaching/'>Instagram</a> | <a href='https://www.facebook.com/itsmytimenowcoaching'>Facebook</a></p> <p>Visit <a href='https://itsmytimenowcoaching.com/'>itsmytimenowcoaching.com</a></p> <p>New episodes every Monday and Thursday.</p> <p>This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.

For more information and to register follow this <a href='https://learn.powerpurposeplay.ca/'>link</a><br/><br/>Enjoy this episode with Monique Allen, and her unique analogy of how we can learn so much from our landscapes and create the lives which we choose, to release that vital and beautiful energy of life. </p><p>The Founder &amp; Creative Director of The Garden Continuum, Monique has utilized her knowledge as a lifelong gardener, business developer, and educator to bridge the gap between landscaping and business building.  With that experience she launched her coaching career as The Lifescape Coach. Monique created The Life-Scape MethodTM, a strategy developed to guide people towards improving their land, lives, and professional satisfaction.  </p><p>You can find Monique here:<br/><a href='https://www.thelifescapecoach.com/'>https://www.thelifescapecoach.com/</a><br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/monique.allen/'>https://www.instagram.com/monique.allen/</a><br/><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/moniquetgc/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/moniquetgc/</a></p><p>Here are her key takeaways: <br/>1) When you put your hands in the soil it has all the properties of nervous system regulation, anti-depression, and the healing power of the sun <br/>2) Cracks are where the light shines through. <br/>3) The ability to feel your way through is a feminine superpower. It doesn&apos;t make women weak, it makes women super powerful  <br/>4) If you can go from your lizard brain down into your gut and let your gut do the thinking and heart do the feeling, you can do so much better <br/>5) A lifescape is 1) organized 2) healthy and it has 3) wow factor – that vital energy<br/>6) To be a gardener of people means that everyone that stands in front of you is unique, must be seen, valued and heard, and your job is to cultivate their seeds. <br/>7) The more you share out, the more you release it from your yourself; now you have this opening for another layer of learning to come in. <br/>8) Do not take offense – instead cultivate your agency, sovereignty, your power, your intellect,  ask intelligent questions, get more curious, don&apos;t get offended! <br/>9) Be a Badass Crone – you don&apos;t have to be limited by your age!

For more information and to register follow this <a href='https://learn.powerpurposeplay.ca/'>link</a><br/><br/>Enjoy this episode with Monique Allen, and her unique analogy of how we can learn so much from our landscapes and create the lives which we choose, to release that vital and beautiful energy of life. </p><p>The Founder &amp; Creative Director of The Garden Continuum, Monique has utilized her knowledge as a lifelong gardener, business developer, and educator to bridge the gap between landscaping and business building.  With that experience she launched her coaching career as The Lifescape Coach. Monique created The Life-Scape MethodTM, a strategy developed to guide people towards improving their land, lives, and professional satisfaction.  </p><p>You can find Monique here:<br/><a href='https://www.thelifescapecoach.com/'>https://www.thelifescapecoach.com/</a><br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/monique.allen/'>https://www.instagram.com/monique.allen/</a><br/><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/moniquetgc/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/moniquetgc/</a></p><p>Here are her key takeaways: <br/>1) When you put your hands in the soil it has all the properties of nervous system regulation, anti-depression, and the healing power of the sun <br/>2) Cracks are where the light shines through. <br/>3) The ability to feel your way through is a feminine superpower. It doesn&apos;t make women weak, it makes women super powerful  <br/>4) If you can go from your lizard brain down into your gut and let your gut do the thinking and heart do the feeling, you can do so much better <br/>5) A lifescape is 1) organized 2) healthy and it has 3) wow factor – that vital energy<br/>6) To be a gardener of people means that everyone that stands in front of you is unique, must be seen, valued and heard, and your job is to cultivate their seeds. <br/>7) The more you share out, the more you release it from your yourself; now you have this opening for another layer of learning to come in. <br/>8) Do not take offense – instead cultivate your agency, sovereignty, your power, your intellect,  ask intelligent questions, get more curious, don&apos;t get offended! <br/>9) Be a Badass Crone – you don&apos;t have to be limited by your age!

You have to expand your comfort zone to include whatever it is that scares you.</li><li>The opposite of fear is not courage - it is foolhardiness - or daredevil-ness. You have to learn to talk yourself into no longer believing that fear. </li><li>Mother nature has everything that we need. She has all the answers.

She just returned from a 3-country speaking tour in Europe, and in 2023, the documentary about her life, “<a href='https://vimeo.com/729298002?ref=fb-share&amp;fbclid=IwAR0AcafZNKx_eBC-P61WmOhkQW4yW4HthmVbkyZQw1IXGERQcgojAOModIg'><b><em>Climbing Into Life</em></b>,</a>” will be available at film festivals across the country.<br/><br/>You can find Dierdre here:</p><p>• <a href='https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2021/11/29/dierdre-wolownick-alex-honnold-yosemite-el-capitan-acfc-full-episode-vpx.cnn'><em>CNN</em></a> <br/>• <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Sharp-End-Life-Mothers-Story/dp/1680512420/ref=sr_1_1?crid=KDHM7ES2JN77&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=the+sharp+end+of+life+by+dierdre+wolownick&amp;qid=1609274910&amp;sprefix=the+sharp+end+of+life,aps,224&amp;sr=8-1'><b><em>The Sharp End of Life: A Mother’s Story</em></b><b> </b></a>   — Mountaineers Books <br/>• Blog: <a href='http://dierdrew.us/'>dierdrew.us</a><br/>• IG: @DierdreWolownick</p><p> Here are her key takeaways:</p><ol><li>Lifelong learning is who we are as humans.

You have to expand your comfort zone to include whatever it is that scares you.</li><li>The opposite of fear is not courage - it is foolhardiness - or daredevil-ness. You have to learn to talk yourself into no longer believing that fear. </li><li>Mother nature has everything that we need. She has all the answers.

Kavita wants this for you, and her goal this year is to help you find happiness in the work you do. Whether that is in your job, starting your own business, volunteering for something you are passionate about, retiring, pursuing a buried passion. Does what you are doing right now make you happy? Is there something missing that you want to change about it? What is it? Why aren’t you doing something about it? <br/><br/></p><p> Her goal this year is to help you cut through all the noise and to help you figure out who you really are, what you really want, and how to get there. Through her Coaching Program,<b> It&apos;s My Time Now!</b>, this podcast, her upcoming workshops, talks, her new book and her writings, Kavita will help you limit the obstacles in your way, and gain the confidence to take your next steps this year.  Reach out to her at: <b>kavita@powerpurposeplay.ca </b>for a free consultation. <br/><br/></p><p>This New Year is a beautiful opportunity to start with a clean slate and self reflect on WHO you are now, and who you want to BE by the end of 2023.

Think about it this way: </p><p><b><em>“Who you want to BE determines what you will do, and how you will achieve it”<br/></em></b><br/></p><p> The only way we can really figure out what we want to do <em>(and how to do it)</em> is to first start with the WHO. Who do you want to be, and why? The answers will come from within if we really stop to ask ourselves deep questions and answer truthfully.</p><p>What is your BHAG – your Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal?<br/><br/></p><p>Take some time to write down what comes to mind right now for you. Remember, your goals can be as outrageous or audacious as you want – but it is a dream you have for yourself. If you’ve done the work of thinking about your strengths, passions, and values – no doubt this BHAG will align with them.</p><p>It should make you feel uncomfortable. As it stands today, to what degree do you think you can achieve your BHAG? Of course, blocks will come up as you think about executing your BHAG. Write those blocks down and ask yourself – what strengths do I possess which will help me achieve this goal?<br/><br/>As we transition in distinct stages of our lives, always remember who you want to BE first. Let your BHAG guide you, and work to uncover all the remarkable things you already have inside of you – that are just waiting to be revealed to the world.</p><p>In the meantime, if you are thinking about your BHAG and are at a crossroads in life - maybe thinking about changing your career, moving ahead in your current one, leaving it to start a new venture, retiring to pursue your passions, or doing a combination of all of these - but are confused - reach out to me.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Join Kavita, as she muses about our first days! As she watched the children in her neighborhood embarking on their first day of school - and witnessed their nervousness and excitement. She saw how this day brings sadness to the parents who separate from their kids, yet pride at what they have become.  As we pack our kids off to school, and settle back into our own lives – what is ahead for us? We all have the same feelings when we start something new. We have worry – will we be able to succeed? Fear – are people going to like me? Excitement – for all the new things we are going to learn and all the new people we are going to meet. Especially now, after 2 years of not seeing one another in person – this year is extra special.</p><p>Think about what you want your first day to look like. Whether that is a first day at a new job – a new career – or even the same career but with a different outlook on it. What will your relationships look like – can you bring the freshness back of the first day you met? How about when you felt so energized and healthy – can you bring that energy and vitality back into your lives?</p><p>It&apos;s all starts with our thoughts. If you can think it, it can happen. Think of all the positive possibilities. Yes, there will be doubts, and yes, not everything is going to happen magically. But if you think it can, with every fiber of your being – it has to happen. It’s just law. Be open to the possibilities around you – put yourself out there even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Go for what you really want because there is no time like the present. </p><p>Kavita has created a system to help you get there. It’s called,<b> It’s My Time Now, </b>and you are invited with a small group of other like-minded women to join her this fall, starting the week of <b>October 17th for 6 weeks of transformation</b>. You will have Kavita live on zoom for 90 minutes each week for 6 weeks where she will take you step by step through this process she has created.  You will be with other women in this group who want the same things – who want to feel like their first days are ahead of them and not behind them.</p><p> Are you interested? If so, email Kavita today at <a href='mailto:kavita@powerpurposeplay.ca'>kavita@powerpurposeplay.ca</a> and tell her why you want this day to be the first. She will send you all the details and the application form. It is only open to 10 women for maximum interaction and transformation. If you have even an inkling of curiosity – just reach out to Kavita, and she can get on a call with you as well to tell you more.</p><p>&quot;I’m doing this because I want you to feel excitement for what lies ahead in your life. In every aspect of it. I want you to feel like that little girl – with her new uniform, as she smoothed her skirt down – looked up at her mom – and smiled that toothless smile.

From her own experience, and interviewing countless women who have faced adversities and challenges in their lives, she has discovered that the one common ingredient to their success is: <b>Confidence</b>.  They have managed to move past those challenges to become even greater versions of themselves.</p><p>Each of these women believed in themselves; believing that they were capable of doing whatever they set their minds to. It is a deep knowing; a quiet understanding that originates from within that fuels their being.</p><p> You have achieved so much in your life, and now it is time to celebrate yourself.  Take some time to write down a list of things or accomplishments - however big or small - that you have achieved that you are proud of. Make a list of your successes and remember - YOU DID THIS! When you remember what you did to achieve these things, it will allow you to channel your self-confidence.</p><p>So WHY is it important to build your confidence? Without it, it is difficult to take the first step to realize your dreams, or the steps that follow.</p><p>You will find every excuse in the world to put it off - procrastinate, blame others or events or lack of time or money or any other reason for not starting.  Consider this quote from a previous guest I had on this podcast, Dr. Caroline Brookfield:</p><p>“There is a comfort zone, a growth zone, and a panic zone. The trick is to find the edge of your comfort zone into your growth zone without going into a panic zone”.</p><p>When we develop confidence in ourselves, we shift our mindset from a limited mindset to a growth mindset. As Tony Robbins says, “the first step in building confidence is knowing why you want to achieve it. Once you know your purpose, learning how to build confidence becomes a matter of retraining your brain”. He goes on to say that “confidence is not something people are born with – it’s something you must create. Building confidence creates the feeling of certainty that you can accomplish what you set out to do”. </p><p><em>But What Holds Us Back?</em></p><p>In a word? FEAR. If you don’t have the courage to face your fears, you will not develop the confidence to move forward. It’s as simple as that. But of course, not simple at all.</p><p>To develop courage, we must act, despite our fears. Acknowledge the fear and recognize it is there but make a decision. Am I going to let this fear paralyze me, or am I going to use this fear to fuel me forward? Think of the analogy of sitting in your car.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Join Kavita Ahuja in this short solo podcast episode as she tells a story of a little bird who was trapped in her house, and the life lessons we can learn from it. It&apos;s all about our comfort zones and how we react when we are taken outside of them. <br/><br/>When we, as humans, find ourselves in similar situations - outside of the regular routine, or what we are used to - we also panic. We “fly around” like the little bird - flitting from one place to the next - banging our heads against the proverbial window wishing to get out of the situation.</p><p>How many times have you felt outside of the environment where you are comfortable, and have panicked or felt so out of control that you just wish you could leave? That is what this little bird experienced.  If something presents itself to us which places us outside our zone of comfort, we panic and don’t know what to do. We fight against it and, rather than stopping, assessing the situation, and trying to grow into the situation, we try to flee, just like the little bird.</p><p>But what if we do the opposite? What if we become comfortable with our new surroundings or situations, and rather than panic, figure out how to survive in this new paradigm? Wouldn&apos;t that mean that we have a new environment in which to thrive and grow?</p><p>The only real way we can grow, thrive and expand ourselves is if we step outside of our own zones of comfort. We limit ourselves for fear of failure or judgment, or yes, even a fear of success. </p><p>What is something that you have always wanted to do, but haven’t done it yet, for fear of failure or judgment or success? I can help you discover what that is, and help you soar!</p><p>My coaching practice is open for a few more clients and I would love to walk you through my program as well as offer a complimentary coaching consultation for you.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Enjoy today&apos;s episode on Becoming Untethered with the wonderful Anissa Buckley. As she says, becoming untethered means letting go of societal expectations, previous expectations of yourself, and letting yourself be who you are today. We are at a unique stage in life because Midlife and the changes it brings affects every part of you: Your Body, Your Mind and Your Soul. Take the time to nurture each leg of the stool, my friend, and your life will be balanced.</p><p> Anissa has gone from Fortune 500 marketer to successful entrepreneur to global endurance adventurer, always using her passion for optimal wellness as a guide. In 2014, at age 46, Buckley had a personal transformation as several events occurred within 8 months: Both parents died, her 12-year marriage dissolved and she sold her 2nd business. The situation forced Buckley to reevaluate her goals, which she found is a common event for many in midlife. She spent the next 4 years traveling the globe, training for endurance events and transitioning to a minimalist lifestyle. The culmination of her research is b-untethered, a science-based midlife women’s wellness and adventure business. It is dedicated to helping women maximize their midlife through a science-based, personalized food, fitness, and frame of mind app and program.<br/><br/>You can find her here:<br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/buntethered/'>https://www.instagram.com/buntethered/</a><br/> www/<a href='http://facebook.com/buntethered'>facebook.com/buntethered</a><br/> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/buntethered-com/'>https://www.linkedin.com/company/buntethered-com/</a><br/><a href='http://www.b-untethered.com/'>www.b-untethered.com</a><br/><br/>Here are her key takeaways:</p><ol><li>To develop the courage to do the thing you really want to do 1) Have a vision for what you want your life to be 2) Immerse yourself around other people who aspire to the same types of things   3) Set small baby goals to help move you  forward to the goal 4) Having a coach is very key - somebody that you can be accountable to and who can keep you on track and pick you up </li><li>Untethering means un-attaching yourself from what society says a 50 year old women should be and what she should be doing </li><li>In 1908 the average life expectancy of a woman was 52 which is the average age of menopause. Only recently have some dollars been allocated to research on post menopausal women.  Science has shown us that when sex hormones are depleted, we can create substitute reactions by the lifestyle choices we make. </li><li>80% of women over 55 have one of 6 chronic conditions - cancer, diabetes, COPD, heart disease, asthma, arthritis. It starts in menopause, so making simple tweaks to your lifestyle is so important so  we don&apos;t suffer from these conditions.</li><li>Its not just bodies that change; values, priorities and relationships shift too. </li></ol><p>_________________________</p> <p>Schedule a <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-cc-ka'>Clarity and Next Chapter Call</a> with Kavita</p> <p>Take the <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-sc-ka'>Career &amp; Life Fulfillment Quiz</a> - find out what&apos;s holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.</p> <p>Connect with Kavita on <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kavita-ahuja-coach/'>LinkedIn</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/itsmytimenow.coaching/'>Instagram</a> | <a href='https://www.facebook.com/itsmytimenowcoaching'>Facebook</a></p> <p>Visit <a href='https://itsmytimenowcoaching.com/'>itsmytimenowcoaching.com</a></p> <p>New episodes every Monday and Thursday.</p> <p>This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.

It is dedicated to helping women maximize their midlife through a science-based, personalized food, fitness, and frame of mind app and program.<br/><br/>You can find her here:<br/><a href='https://www.instagram.com/buntethered/'>https://www.instagram.com/buntethered/</a><br/> www/<a href='http://facebook.com/buntethered'>facebook.com/buntethered</a><br/> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/buntethered-com/'>https://www.linkedin.com/company/buntethered-com/</a><br/><a href='http://www.b-untethered.com/'>www.b-untethered.com</a><br/><br/>Here are her key takeaways:</p><ol><li>To develop the courage to do the thing you really want to do 1) Have a vision for what you want your life to be 2) Immerse yourself around other people who aspire to the same types of things   3) Set small baby goals to help move you  forward to the goal 4) Having a coach is very key - somebody that you can be accountable to and who can keep you on track and pick you up </li><li>Untethering means un-attaching yourself from what society says a 50 year old women should be and what she should be doing </li><li>In 1908 the average life expectancy of a woman was 52 which is the average age of menopause. Only recently have some dollars been allocated to research on post menopausal women.  Science has shown us that when sex hormones are depleted, we can create substitute reactions by the lifestyle choices we make. </li><li>80% of women over 55 have one of 6 chronic conditions - cancer, diabetes, COPD, heart disease, asthma, arthritis. It starts in menopause, so making simple tweaks to your lifestyle is so important so  we don&apos;t suffer from these conditions.</li><li>Its not just bodies that change; values, priorities and relationships shift too. </li></ol><p>_________________________</p> <p>Schedule a <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-cc-ka'>Clarity and Next Chapter Call</a> with Kavita</p> <p>Take the <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-sc-ka'>Career &amp; Life Fulfillment Quiz</a> - find out what&apos;s holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.</p> <p>Connect with Kavita on <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kavita-ahuja-coach/'>LinkedIn</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/itsmytimenow.coaching/'>Instagram</a> | <a href='https://www.facebook.com/itsmytimenowcoaching'>Facebook</a></p> <p>Visit <a href='https://itsmytimenowcoaching.com/'>itsmytimenowcoaching.com</a></p> <p>New episodes every Monday and Thursday.</p> <p>This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>On this, International Women&apos;s Day Week, the theme is #breakthebias and that means imagining a gender equal world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. It is so appropriate to have as our guest on this important week, Samra Zafar. If there is one podcast interview you should listen to of the many that I&apos;ve conducted, it is this one! <br/><br/>Be inspired by Samra&apos;s story of resilience, after being forced into a child marriage, and suffering years of abuse. Many of us would have given up after such trauma, but instead, Samra believed in her dreams and not only achieved them, but is motivating millions of women around the world who may also be suffering,  to stand up for their own rights and not only survive, but thrive.<br/><br/>Samra Zafar is an award-winning international speaker, bestselling author, consultant &amp; educator who advocates for gender equity, inclusion, and human rights. She is recognized among the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada, and a Top 25 Canadian Immigrant. Her book, A Good Wife: Escaping The Life I Never Chose, is an international bestseller-named among CBC&apos;s Best Books of 2019. She is one of the youngest Alumni Governors at the University of Toronto, an Ambassador for Plan International, and a board member for WCH Foundation.<br/><br/>You can find Samra here: <br/><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/samrazafar/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/samrazafar/</a> <br/>@iamsamrazafar <br/> <a href='https://www.samrazafar.com/speaking'>https://www.samrazafar.com/speaking</a> <br/><br/>Here are her key takeaways:</p><ol><li>We are the ones who stand in our way the most. All our fears are valid, but at the end of the day life is all about choices.  Are you going to let the fear prevail or are you going to say, yes I&apos;m terrified, but I believe in this so much that I&apos;m going to do this anyway? </li><li>We often feel like we need to have all the ducks in the row and have to have all the answers - we don&apos;t need to have all the answers!  </li><li>Am I going to succumb and just give up or am I going to keep fighting? Because if I don&apos;t fight for my dreams, who will?</li><li>When people tell you cannot do something, they are showing you their limits, not yours.</li><li>Listen to that inner voice instead of all the other voices around you who say you can&apos;t. The things that are meant for us - they are already ours, and that inner voice is guiding us towards those things that are already ours. </li><li>We need to put the shame where it belongs - with the abusers </li><li>Healing is not a linear journey. You don&apos;t move on from trauma - you move on with it. Those experiences have left permanent imprints on our brains, bodies, minds. Healing is a lifelong journey.</li><li>There is always going to be people ahead or behind you but there is no race! How can you say someone is ahead or behind you when you are going in different directions?</li></ol><p>_________________________</p> <p>Schedule a <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-cc-ka'>Clarity and Next Chapter Call</a> with Kavita</p> <p>Take the <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-sc-ka'>Career &amp; Life Fulfillment Quiz</a> - find out what&apos;s holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.</p> <p>Connect with Kavita on <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kavita-ahuja-coach/'>LinkedIn</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/itsmytimenow.coaching/'>Instagram</a> | <a href='https://www.facebook.com/itsmytimenowcoaching'>Facebook</a></p> <p>Visit <a href='https://itsmytimenowcoaching.com/'>itsmytimenowcoaching.com</a></p> <p>New episodes every Monday and Thursday.</p> <p>This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.

All our fears are valid, but at the end of the day life is all about choices.  Are you going to let the fear prevail or are you going to say, yes I&apos;m terrified, but I believe in this so much that I&apos;m going to do this anyway? </li><li>We often feel like we need to have all the ducks in the row and have to have all the answers - we don&apos;t need to have all the answers!  </li><li>Am I going to succumb and just give up or am I going to keep fighting? Because if I don&apos;t fight for my dreams, who will?</li><li>When people tell you cannot do something, they are showing you their limits, not yours.</li><li>Listen to that inner voice instead of all the other voices around you who say you can&apos;t. The things that are meant for us - they are already ours, and that inner voice is guiding us towards those things that are already ours. </li><li>We need to put the shame where it belongs - with the abusers </li><li>Healing is not a linear journey. You don&apos;t move on from trauma - you move on with it. Those experiences have left permanent imprints on our brains, bodies, minds. Healing is a lifelong journey.</li><li>There is always going to be people ahead or behind you but there is no race! How can you say someone is ahead or behind you when you are going in different directions?</li></ol><p>_________________________</p> <p>Schedule a <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-cc-ka'>Clarity and Next Chapter Call</a> with Kavita</p> <p>Take the <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-sc-ka'>Career &amp; Life Fulfillment Quiz</a> - find out what&apos;s holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.</p> <p>Connect with Kavita on <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kavita-ahuja-coach/'>LinkedIn</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/itsmytimenow.coaching/'>Instagram</a> | <a href='https://www.facebook.com/itsmytimenowcoaching'>Facebook</a></p> <p>Visit <a href='https://itsmytimenowcoaching.com/'>itsmytimenowcoaching.com</a></p> <p>New episodes every Monday and Thursday.</p> <p>This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Join Kavita as she celebrates a New Year, and the first episode of the second season of The Midlife Reinvention Podcast! We are so grateful that you are here, and so excited for what this year has to offer for each of you. We hope you enjoyed a restful and beautiful holiday season, and are also excited about what this year has in store for you. </p><p>As the founder of Power Purpose Play, Kavita is leading a Global Movement of Women in Midlife. <b> </b>By definition a Movement is a group of people with a shared aim or a development or change that occurs. This is not a political movement. This is NOT a movement against anything. It is not a feminist movement, or a movement against men or the establishment or anything else. It is a movement FOR something. It is a positive movement of unleashing your individual energetic potential to the world to improve the collective positive energy of the world!</p><p>This is a Movement of Women in Midlife, saying emphatically, “It’s My Time Now!” There is no limit to your potential, regardless of your age - and our job is to figure out how you can bring out your greatness to the world. </p><p>&quot;The only way we can initiate change in the world is by initiating change within ourselves first, and my goal this year is to help you do just that.  I want you to know that saying “It’s My Time Now” - is not being selfish. It is discovering WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU WANT, and HOW TO GET THERE. It IS about understanding WHAT IS BLOCKING YOU and about GAINING YOUR CONFIDENCE. </p><p>&quot;The way to realize your full potential is really by shifting your energy levels. My coaching training in fact  defines energy as simply the potential people have for success in life. What I do through a process called Core Energy Coaching is to work through methods to shift your energy to the highest levels possible. Your level of energy determines your success. The more you have, the better you’ll do. As a coach, I can help you expand your awareness of yourself, the energy levels you are operating at, and help you make positive changes in your life&quot;.<br/> <br/>&quot;So, if you are a woman in midlife who 1) Who feels you want to do something more meaningful or fulfilling with your life than you are currently doing 2) believes that this is your time now to do that thing you’ve always wanted to do 3) may be unsure of yourself or not confident in your abilities 4)  if you don’t really know what your purpose is, or how to find it 5) if you may have  a lot of internal blocks which are stopping you from getting what you really want, but 6) are excited about your future and want to do something about it - then you are in the right place!&quot;</p><p>&quot;I am also an Energy Leadership Index-Master Practitioner, and as part of my coaching services, I provide a free initial energy leadership assessment.

She reminds us all to take that little twinge in our hearts and act upon it - if not now, when?<br/>Honour the messages that come up from your inner being.  The answers to all the questions we have are really within us - we just have to learn how to tap into it, and again, that means being in alignment with your inner self. It sounds more difficult than it really is, but it really is about being still and in the present moment. </p><p>Try not to struggle and fight with the natural sequence of things. We all become impatient when we don’t see the immediate results of our actions. We get frustrated when we put all our hard work into something, yet it doesn’t manifest right away.  As Mooji says, “everything is in place for life to unfold as it should”. If you ask for what you really want, with good intentions and all your heart, and do not put any resistance or barriers in terms of negative thoughts in the way - it is a natural law that it will manifest when, and as it should. If you liken this to the seeds we plant in the soil. When we plant them, we don’t expect a tree to appear instantly tomorrow, do we? We nurture it and care for it and know, in our hearts, that its magnificent branches will manifest when and as it should. We need the patience and trust to know that, indeed, our seeds that we plant-  will grow.<br/>If we don’t enjoy what we are doing right now, things need to change. We are programmed and conditioned to think about our pasts, and worry about our futures. If you are not “being” however, you are not living. If you are going through the motions of life because you feel you have to and there is no other choice - you haven’t asked yourself fundamental questions like - who am I and what do I really want? If you ask yourself these questions in silence, meditate on them, and journal the answers everyday consistently - the answers will come. <br/>You will see the path opens up for you - things will come your way and you will see the path. It doesn’t mean quitting your job and moving to the himalayas. You can do it gradually. You can take one step at a time and then the next, and continually ask yourself - is this the right path? You can adjust and tune into how you are feeling at this present moment. Is this the right step? How do I adjust? The moment you feel skepticism or doubt thought, the wheels in motion will slow in their tracks.<br/>You CAN do what you set your heart and mind to. It’s not easy, and it may not be perfect.

Deborah’s unique blend of passion, strategic vision and entrepreneurial spirit is helping  her lead CAMH Foundation in transforming how Canadians understand and address mental  illness, in the workplace and in society. <br/>Deborah’s early work in the public sector focused on employment equity, anti-racism and  LGBTQI rights. She went on to become a consultant and practice leader with two global professional service firms. Deborah also worked in the Nova Scotia government, and stood as a  candidate for elected office.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>I so enjoyed having Karen Herbert on our podcast and we have so much to learn from her about dealing with the transition in our empty nest years, especially our changing relationships with ourselves and our loved ones, including our young adult children. <br/><br/>Karen  is a certified professional coach and the founder and CEO of Themelios Coaching.  Karen specializes in helping women embrace and seize the opportunities in the empty nest transition. A mother of three young adults, she has a Master’s degree from Notre Dame and hired her husband, also a certified coach, as her first employee.   She started her coaching journey as she struggled with chronic Lymes disease and battled the mental health system for her family’s needs. <br/><br/>You can find Karen here:<br/> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/gettingreadyforyouremptynest'>https://www.facebook.com/groups/gettingreadyforyouremptynest</a>. <br/> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/thml-karenherbert/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/thml-karenherbert/</a>.<br/> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/karenvherbert/'>https://www.instagram.com/karenvherbert/</a></p><p>Here are her key takeaways: </p><ol><li>Set an intention for the empty nest years.

You are the piece of the puzzle - our needs and desires are as important as everyone else. Put yourself back in the mix!</li><li>We don&apos;t want to just fill the time. Be intentional about engaging with the transition and choose the things that are right and powerful for us, and not just do the next thing. </li><li>The goal should be to have a healthy, loving adult relationship with our children. It&apos;s not about creating certain outcomes in their lives. It&apos;s so important for us to release control and allow them to be empowered to embrace their own  outcomes. </li><li>Young adults really hate when 1) they are feeling judged - listen and respond without judgement, ask curious questions rather than jumping in with our own opinions. 2) unsolicited advice - ask permission before offering advice or opinions. </li></ol><p> If you need help to access your true inner power and purpose moving forward, watch this <b>free mini training</b> with the accompanying <b>workbook</b>, where Kavita goes through <b>Level 1 of the</b> <b>Pyramid of Reinvention: Rediscovering Yourself: https://learn.powerpurposeplay.ca/midlife-redis</b></p><p>_________________________</p> <p>Schedule a <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-cc-ka'>Clarity and Next Chapter Call</a> with Kavita</p> <p>Take the <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-sc-ka'>Career &amp; Life Fulfillment Quiz</a> - find out what&apos;s holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.</p> <p>Connect with Kavita on <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kavita-ahuja-coach/'>LinkedIn</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/itsmytimenow.coaching/'>Instagram</a> | <a href='https://www.facebook.com/itsmytimenowcoaching'>Facebook</a></p> <p>Visit <a href='https://itsmytimenowcoaching.com/'>itsmytimenowcoaching.com</a></p> <p>New episodes every Monday and Thursday.</p> <p>This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Enjoy this mini podcast episode where Kavita shares her thoughts on the power of positive thinking. Thoughts become things. <b> </b>If every thought is like a raindrop which collects and flows into a stream, which then collects momentum and now runs into the river, pushing forward, pushing forward, finally releasing into the ocean - full of possibilities. If  we resist that drop of water it won’t flow. Even the thought of resisting that drop of water will stop it from dripping. </p><p>Thoughts become things, and if the thoughts we think allow the positive flow of energy forward - it feels so good. We don’t need to know exactly where that drop of water or thought will end up or how it will manifest, but we have to have faith that without obstruction - it will naturally flow to where it should. </p><p>Be open to the possibilities and receive the signs everywhere. Think of filling your own stream of water with ease. Think of how that stream moves forward, builds momentum, until finally it bursts into the vast ocean of possibilities. It is fuelled by momentum - which are your positive thoughts. Your thoughts - every one of them - become things - choose those thoughts which allow that steady stream of water to move forward with ease.</p><p>What positive thoughts will you think of today?</p><p>Often, we have a wish or desire that something manifests in the future which we really, really want. We can feel it in our bones. However, it may not appear as we hope it does. Why does that happen? It’s not because it never will. If our inner being really knows that thing is available to us, it will happen. It’s about letting go and thinking positively - and one way or another that thing will manifest itself.</p><p>Many people would say - you can’t just think positive thoughts and things will just happen - and that is true. You have to also be in tune to what’s around you - what things come your way everyday - and pay attention to them. We must include positive action in addition to our positive thoughts. Notice things that come your way - Are they contributing to that positive flow of energy or detracting from it?</p><p>Choose positive things and people that attract positivity into your life. It&apos;s difficult to always have positive thoughts because of course we are dealing with everyday life’s demands. If you can’t - it’s ok - - be kind to yourself. If negative pressures and stress builds up - just let it go. Take a rest and don&apos;t beat yourself up. I often talk about Play - this is what I mean by Play. Let it go and enjoy life sometimes.<br/><br/>If you need help to access your true inner power and purpose moving forward, watch this <b>free mini training</b> with the accompanying <b>workbook</b>, where Kavita goes through <b>Level 1 of the</b> <b>Pyramid of Reinvention: Rediscovering Yourself: https://learn.powerpurposeplay.ca/midlife-rediscovery-mini-training/</b></p><p>_________________________</p> <p>Schedule a <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-cc-ka'>Clarity and Next Chapter Call</a> with Kavita</p> <p>Take the <a href='https://imtncoach.com/bu-pc-sc-ka'>Career &amp; Life Fulfillment Quiz</a> - find out what&apos;s holding you back and how to move forward with confidence.</p> <p>Connect with Kavita on <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/kavita-ahuja-coach/'>LinkedIn</a> | <a href='https://www.instagram.com/itsmytimenow.coaching/'>Instagram</a> | <a href='https://www.facebook.com/itsmytimenowcoaching'>Facebook</a></p> <p>Visit <a href='https://itsmytimenowcoaching.com/'>itsmytimenowcoaching.com</a></p> <p>New episodes every Monday and Thursday.</p> <p>This podcast explores career and life transitions, helping women find clarity, confidence, and purpose through Ikigai and self-discovery.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Follow the Heroine&apos;s Journey as explained by Dr. Nicole Cutts! In this fascinating and informative episode, Dr. Cutts reveals her insights into the heroine&apos;s quest,  and topics like innate creativity and cultural competence which are so relevant for us today. She is a wealth of information, and we can all learn how to navigate challenges in our lives through her teachings .<br/><br/>Dr. Nicole Cutts is a Keynote Speaker, Author and TV and Radio Commentator. She is also a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Certified Executive Coach, Success Coach and an Organizational Consultant and Trainer. As a former  executive producer and host of a radio show in Washington, DC, Dr. Cutts inspires and empowers people to achieve a more balanced and successful lifestyle,  now as a master facilitator and success coach. </p><p>In addition, Dr. Cutts is the Founder of Vision Quest Retreats through which she helps women to clarify and achieve their Vision of Success and brings women together on the heroine&apos;s quest for support and inspiration.<br/><br/>You can find her here:</p><p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/dr.nicolecutts_coach_author/'>https://www.instagram.com/dr.nicolecutts_coach_author/</a></p><p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/VisionQuestRetreats'>https://www.facebook.com/VisionQuestRetreats</a></p><p><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolecutts/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolecutts/</a><br/><br/><a href='http://www.visionquestretreats.com/?fbclid=IwAR1T_3iyU524PUkZ9P64xH24o4O2g-jjYSTIP0FRAJC_6yE4gSklpdzngws'>http://www.visionquestretreats.com/</a></p><p> Here are her main takeaways:</p><ol><li>Be aware of your blocks, unpack them and make a decision - are you willing to let this thing stop you from getting what you want? Everything we want is on the other side of fear.</li><li>The heroine&apos;s journey is a model for life. Each heroine has to figure out what they need to do to disarm their threshold guardian. You might need to run right at it, you might need to fight it, you might need to befriend it, or understand it</li><li>In real life there is no final conflict. We can go on this journey many times. And when you win, whatever the prize is - you  return with the elixer. Bring back what you have gained to your people or community as the heroine. </li><li>You can&apos;t be balanced or healthy if you&apos;re neglecting your body.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Follow the Heroine&apos;s Journey as explained by Dr. Nicole Cutts! In this fascinating and informative episode, Dr. Cutts reveals her insights into the heroine&apos;s quest,  and topics like innate creativity and cultural competence which are so relevant for us today. She is a wealth of information, and we can all learn how to navigate challenges in our lives through her teachings .<br/><br/>Dr. Nicole Cutts is a Keynote Speaker, Author and TV and Radio Commentator. She is also a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Certified Executive Coach, Success Coach and an Organizational Consultant and Trainer. As a former  executive producer and host of a radio show in Washington, DC, Dr. Cutts inspires and empowers people to achieve a more balanced and successful lifestyle,  now as a master facilitator and success coach. </p><p>In addition, Dr. Cutts is the Founder of Vision Quest Retreats through which she helps women to clarify and achieve their Vision of Success and brings women together on the heroine&apos;s quest for support and inspiration.<br/><br/>You can find her here:</p><p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/dr.nicolecutts_coach_author/'>https://www.instagram.com/dr.nicolecutts_coach_author/</a></p><p><a href='https://www.facebook.com/VisionQuestRetreats'>https://www.facebook.com/VisionQuestRetreats</a></p><p><a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolecutts/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolecutts/</a><br/><br/><a href='http://www.visionquestretreats.com/?fbclid=IwAR1T_3iyU524PUkZ9P64xH24o4O2g-jjYSTIP0FRAJC_6yE4gSklpdzngws'>http://www.visionquestretreats.com/</a></p><p> Here are her main takeaways:</p><ol><li>Be aware of your blocks, unpack them and make a decision - are you willing to let this thing stop you from getting what you want? Everything we want is on the other side of fear.</li><li>The heroine&apos;s journey is a model for life. Each heroine has to figure out what they need to do to disarm their threshold guardian. You might need to run right at it, you might need to fight it, you might need to befriend it, or understand it</li><li>In real life there is no final conflict. We can go on this journey many times. And when you win, whatever the prize is - you  return with the elixer. Bring back what you have gained to your people or community as the heroine. </li><li>You can&apos;t be balanced or healthy if you&apos;re neglecting your body.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Enjoy this next episode of The Midlife Reinvention podcast with Michela di Carlo! Michela&apos;s zest for life is infectious and we can learn so much from her carefree and beautiful outlook on life. I&apos;d encourage you all to read Crunchy Tales - as she is on a mission to reset the meaning of middle age, one story at a time. Her words and humor remind us that life is too short <b>not </b>to enjoy it! <br/><br/>Michela di Carlo is a former feature writer for the most influential Italian National newspaper La Repubblica, with an MA in Communication Studies from the University of Rome, Michela has been nominated twice for the International Journalism Festival Award and have been in charge of several digital editorial projects, including international marketing campaigns. As a Late Bloomers&apos; Advocate and founder of the digital lifestyle magazine CrunchyTales.com, dedicated to discerning and sassy women over 40, she is on a mission to reset the meaning of middle age, focusing her work on inspirational content to empower women feeling stuck in the second act of their life.</p><p>You can find Michela here:<br/><br/> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/crunchy_tales/'>https://www.instagram.com/crunchy_tales/</a><br/> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/crunchytales/'>https://www.facebook.com/crunchytales/</a><br/> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/crunchytales/'>https://www.linkedin.com/company/crunchytales/</a><br/> <a href='http://www.crunchytales.com/'>www.crunchytales.com</a></p><p>Here are her key takeaways:</p><ol><li>There is an aura of frumpiness around middle age and the only way to challenge the stereotype is to change the narrative. We (as middle aged women) are much more than golf tournaments, apple pies and cashmere cardigans! </li><li>You always have obstacles in your journey if you are on a mission to improve yourself.</li><li>The only thing I know for sure is that until you&apos;re ready for change you won&apos;t change. We need to accept ourselves with all our imperfections</li><li>Maybe elsewhere your talents and skills will be appreciated, even if they are not in your immediate environment.  What we see as failures may seem different in other areas of the world.</li><li>Midlife is a time of Renaissance, not a time of winding down. Midlife can be a colorful journey!</li><li> We should look at constantly improving ourselves not because of Covid, but despite of it.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Enjoy this next episode of The Midlife Reinvention podcast with Michela di Carlo! Michela&apos;s zest for life is infectious and we can learn so much from her carefree and beautiful outlook on life. I&apos;d encourage you all to read Crunchy Tales - as she is on a mission to reset the meaning of middle age, one story at a time. Her words and humor remind us that life is too short <b>not </b>to enjoy it! <br/><br/>Michela di Carlo is a former feature writer for the most influential Italian National newspaper La Repubblica, with an MA in Communication Studies from the University of Rome, Michela has been nominated twice for the International Journalism Festival Award and have been in charge of several digital editorial projects, including international marketing campaigns. As a Late Bloomers&apos; Advocate and founder of the digital lifestyle magazine CrunchyTales.com, dedicated to discerning and sassy women over 40, she is on a mission to reset the meaning of middle age, focusing her work on inspirational content to empower women feeling stuck in the second act of their life.</p><p>You can find Michela here:<br/><br/> <a href='https://www.instagram.com/crunchy_tales/'>https://www.instagram.com/crunchy_tales/</a><br/> <a href='https://www.facebook.com/crunchytales/'>https://www.facebook.com/crunchytales/</a><br/> <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/crunchytales/'>https://www.linkedin.com/company/crunchytales/</a><br/> <a href='http://www.crunchytales.com/'>www.crunchytales.com</a></p><p>Here are her key takeaways:</p><ol><li>There is an aura of frumpiness around middle age and the only way to challenge the stereotype is to change the narrative. We (as middle aged women) are much more than golf tournaments, apple pies and cashmere cardigans! </li><li>You always have obstacles in your journey if you are on a mission to improve yourself.</li><li>The only thing I know for sure is that until you&apos;re ready for change you won&apos;t change. We need to accept ourselves with all our imperfections</li><li>Maybe elsewhere your talents and skills will be appreciated, even if they are not in your immediate environment.  What we see as failures may seem different in other areas of the world.</li><li>Midlife is a time of Renaissance, not a time of winding down. Midlife can be a colorful journey!</li><li> We should look at constantly improving ourselves not because of Covid, but despite of it. Self love is for life, not just for lockdown</li><li>The minute you start to love yourself, everything changes. We sometimes neglect ourselves for too long</li><li> A table for one! Why not? Enjoy your own company!</li><li>I believe pasta, prosecco and pizza are the Italian answer to Botox!

    <description><![CDATA[<p>Join Kavita Ahuja on this special bonus episode of The Midlife Reinvention, as she discusses achievements, and how, especially as women, we need to acknowledge, celebrate and share each of our achievements with the world. It&apos;s not about comparing ourselves to others; it&apos;s about setting goals within ourselves which we strive to exceed.<br/><br/>Kavita Ahuja, host of The Midlife Reinvention Podcast, is the Founder of Power Purpose Play, a Global Platform for Women who are charting a new course in midlife to reinvent themselves. At the age of 53, Kavita, who holds a major in Biology and an MBA, left an extremely successful corporate pharmaceutical career of almost 25 years, took control of her health, reignited her marriage, and found her next true calling. This is to help women find the Power within them to rediscover their Purpose, and reinvent themselves, regardless of their age or circumstances. She rediscovered herself after the age of 50, and she believes you can too.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join Kavita Ahuja on this special bonus episode of The Midlife Reinvention, as she discusses achievements, and how, especially as women, we need to acknowledge, celebrate and share each of our achievements with the world. It&apos;s not about comparing ourselves to others; it&apos;s about setting goals within ourselves which we strive to exceed.<br/><br/>Kavita Ahuja, host of The Midlife Reinvention Podcast, is the Founder of Power Purpose Play, a Global Platform for Women who are charting a new course in midlife to reinvent themselves. At the age of 53, Kavita, who holds a major in Biology and an MBA, left an extremely successful corporate pharmaceutical career of almost 25 years, took control of her health, reignited her marriage, and found her next true calling. This is to help women find the Power within them to rediscover their Purpose, and reinvent themselves, regardless of their age or circumstances. She rediscovered herself after the age of 50, and she believes you can too. Her mission is to help you do just that. </p><p><em>&quot;My vision is to give you a glimpse of yourself beyond anything you can imagine.
