When I recently turned 45 I started feeling anxious about my age, how much time I have left, what I’ve accomplished, and how much I still want to do in life. Some women go through a “quarter-life” or a “third-life” crisis — these issues come up at a wide variety of ages — and in today’s episode I address some of these struggles and how we can meet them head on and turn a midlife crisis into a midlife catalyst, regardless of your age.

At any given time there are countless children spending extended periods of time in hospitals battling serious illnesses. For these children and their loved ones, this can be an incredibly draining, debilitating, isolating experience, but it doesn’t have to be. My special guest, colleague, and friend, Lisa Buksbaum, founded Soaring Words, a non-profit whose mission is “to inspire ill children and their families to take active roles in self-healing. Soaringwords is unique as it is the only organization to motivate ill children and families to “pay it forward” to help others. Studies show that when a child does something kind for another child it accelerates transformative healing.”

Lisa talks about her own journey, and we discuss post-traumatic growth in the context of the tragedies that Lisa has experienced and how they informed her uncovering of her own purpose, and how that led to her forming Soaringwords.

A few days before recording this I got back from a week at Burning Man. If you’re unfamiliar with Burning Man, here’s their brief description: “Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. In this crucible of creativity, all are welcome.”

One of the most amazing aspects of Burning Man is how everyone is encouraged to show up as their authentic self, whatever that may be, and it’s truly liberating and exhilarating! In today’s episode I use the phenomenon that is Burning Man to discuss the psychological concepts of the actual self versus the ideal self and my own journey to live my ideal self more fully.

A dear friend and client of mine passed away a few days ago, and it got me thinking about what it means to live one’s life fully, to live so that you don’t have regrets. A research study showed that at the end of life, people tended to regret the things they hadn’t done more than the things they had done. And so in honor of, and inspired by, my dear friend Brenda, I use the book, The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying, by Bronnie Ware, (which you can get at Amazon — https://amzn.to/2zeJpAz) to talk about how to avoid having all sorts of regrets at the end of your life.
