Why You Should Advocate For Your Own Health. How A Woman Beat Stage 4 Cancer/ Interview with Tammy Alameda
Beautiful Second Act
08/26/21 • 25 min
When you know something is wrong and doctors give you an unsatisfying diagnosis, dig deeper. Tammy Alameda was told her weight loss wasn't to be concerned about and her troubles were nothing more than hemorrhoids. Months later and several doctor appointments that gave no answers, Tammy saw another doctor who thought she should have had the colonoscopy she wanted. But it was too late. An ER visit and agonizing pain proved that not only did Tammy have a problem, she almost lost her life.
Being told you may only have 24 hours to live is something unimaginable. But for Tammy, she knew her time wasn't up. Her diagnosis of Stage 4 Cancer didn't detour her from the fact that she had a lot of living left to do, no matter what the doctors said.
In this episode, Tammy shares her terrifying story that has a happy ending. It is so important that you seek answers no matter what your diagnosis. Always take someone with you to get all the information, and above all...NEVER GIVE UP!
Find Tammy Alameda on Facebook here. She is an inspiration to us all.

Perfectionism Is Overrated! Learn to accept yourself
Beautiful Second Act
06/08/21 • 16 min
In midlife and beyond, we've hopefully learned that trying to be perfect is unattainable, and a bit ridiculous. This stressful way of being only creates a life of disillusionment , and cannot give you the ease and peace that accepting yourself just as you are does.
In this episode, I talk about how after a lifetime of trying to control situations and striving to be as perfect as I could be, I am finally in a place of flow and joy, enjoying myself just as I am. We've reached midlife (or beyond), and know now that all those years we spent trying to be a certain size, trying to be a certain way to appease others, was just a waste to our peace of mind. If we can just love life and enjoy being who we truly are, others will see us in a brighter light as well.
I spoke of a music video from Colbie Caillat called TRY:

Reignite Your Life After the Empty Nest / w/ Bobbi Chegwyn of Inspired Empty Nest
Beautiful Second Act
06/13/23 • 53 min
Nobody prepares you for what your life will be like once the littles fly the coop. There are books in life all about What to Expect When You Are Expecting, there are even books on how to handle your teenager's mood swings, or behavior problems. But nobody talks about what you will go through once you become an empty nester.
This first episode of Seaons 5 on Beautiful Second Act, we are talking all about how to reignite your life once the kids are gone. Bobbi Chegwyn is here with us to talk about her group, Inspired Empty Nest, and her podcast, Fly Mom, Fly. Both are supportive to the milestone of moms navigating the empty nest journey.

What If Everything They Told You About Education Was Wrong? / Patti Diener
Beautiful Second Act
03/22/22 • 31 min
Do you still believe you must have a college degree to be successful? Have you ever been shamed for NOT having a degree?
In today's episode I dive deep into my thoughts about education and how many very successful humans have chosen to NOT get a degree. How from the time we are children, it is pressed upon us that if we don't go to college we are less than, or won't be as successful.
Living a full life, one of creativity and wonder doesn't always have to be found through the path of college. Although a degree is necessary for some careers, it isn't required to live the life of your dreams.

It Doesn't Matter What You Think Of Me. / Patti Diener
Beautiful Second Act
03/01/22 • 21 min
As Don Miguel Ruiz says in his book, THE FOUR AGREEMENTS, nothing other people do is because of you. It's because of themselves. So when others form an opinion about you and judge, it has nothing to do with you. It's on them.
As a woman in midlife, I have to say that I am not concerned with what others think of me. I used to obsess about it though. In my earlier years, I was always concerned with how to keep the peace, and how I could be loved. Now I find that the more I love myself and practice acceptance for exactly who I am, the less likely I am to stress over what others think.
This episode is all about self-respect, and self-esteem. In order to have them, you can only get them through the SELF. It won't ever come from others.
Thanks for listening. Below are some links from today's show.
Cheers!

Are We Afraid To Feel Joy? / Patti Diener
Beautiful Second Act
01/25/22 • 28 min
If I told you that the feeling of joy can be one of the things we as humans, fear the most, would that make sense to you?
In today's episode, I dive deep into how I have experienced the feeling of joy only to have it immediately followed by fear. Often, people fear joy the most because we are so scared that something is going to take it away from us.
In many cases, people will lean away from getting too close to joy as a way of self protecting. If we never have joy, it can never be taken away from us.

More Is Not Better. How To Know When Enough Is Enough. / Patti Diener
Beautiful Second Act
08/02/22 • 17 min
Is it possible to have too much of something? Ever hear of the old saying, too much of a good thing? We humans often cram our lives with too much of everything. This can weigh us down and eventually complicate our lives where it's totally unnecessary.
Too much activity, too much food, too many choices... these are just a few examples of how having too much can not be a good thing.
In today's episode, I talk about how we can know when enough is enough. In Dr. Wayne Dyer's book, Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life; Living the Wisdom of the Tao, he deciphers for us the verses of the Tao Te Ching. The 9th Verse made me think of how we must realize more isn't necessarily better.

She shares her knowledge that with applying yogic principles, you can change for the better, your mind, body, and spirit.
