The Grown-Ass Woman's Guide empowers women over 40 in taking charge of their lives.

This stage of life (dare I say midlife?) comes with its own unique challenges. But it also is a huge opportunity to shift your mindset, discover what's next and take action. I'm your host, Jackie MacDougall, CEO of Grown-Ass Creative, and a woman over 50. My mission is to have conversations that help us all create more connected relationships with our partners, family and friends, learn how to feel better in our bodies, build more confidence and become an even better version of ourselves -- because we are more than worth it. Let's do it together.

Imagine this: You're in an airport bathroom in Reno, Nevada. You're feeling crampy and cranky because it's that time of the month, so you reach for a maxi pad. What you see when you open the package angers you, enrages you really; so much so that you decide to stop and write an open letter to the company that made said maxi pad.
That's pretty much what happened to Wendi Aarons. And it was the very thing to begin to change the trajectory of her life. The award winning humorist, writer, opinionated tweeter and self-proclaimed Fanilow is now a published author (her first two books written when she was 54). Her book I'm Wearing Tunics Now: On Growing Older, Wiser and a Hell of a Lot Louder is a stroll down memory lane for any Gen X woman finding her way -- and herself.
About: Wendi Aarons is a writer and award-winning humorist whose work has frequently appeared in outlets like McSweeney’s and The New Yorker, among many others. She is the author of the middle-grade novel Ginger Mancino,
Kid Comedian, SOCKS from Chronicle Books, and a contributor to the Listen to Your Mother: What She Said Then, What We’re Saying Now and Keep Scrolling Til You Feel Something anthologies. She is a popular speaker and teacher on humor, and lives in Austin with her family. And her tunics.

Forty Thrive Top of Season 2 -- #6

Today’s episode kind of blew my mind and I think it might really be able to help you as well. Over the summer, I was feeling professionally stuck — honestly, business felt like it was a little bit all over the place. I had a lot of things going on, but it just felt like a lot of struggle with not much gain. And so I invited Feng Shui expert Patricia Lohan into my office. To say that her simple tips changed everything for me is not an exaggeration.

With her guidance and expertise, I’ve made some small changes throughout my home to create more harmony and balance and prosperity and abundance. Today, Patricia shares how you can get that as well.

It's the third episode of our four-part series, The Grown-Ass Woman's Guide to Thriving through the Holidays.

What if I told you that even though you might know what you want in your life, your style choices could actually be preventing it from happening?  In this episode, style coach Erin Mathis shares simple and inexpensive ways  to level up your look to attract what you want. The best part? You can start today!

Guest:

Erin Mathis, cofounder of The Style Core, is a Style Coach for women in midlife who feel stuck in a rut and want to empower themselves to take charge of their future.

She applies the same process she used to transform her own image to help her clients reinvent themselves so they can confidently show up as the captivating women they are and tell the world who they are through their look.

Some people might dismiss style transformation as “just a makeover,” but as a style coach, Erin understands how image has the power to transform your entire life. She shares more about this in her Tedx Talk "The Power of Image to Transform Your Life.”

If you've been waiting for a new episode of TGAWG, this is the one to hear! In October of 2021, I attended She Podcasts Live, a conference for women and non-binary podcasters. At that event, I ran into a couple of women I knew through work we had done with Elsie Escobar, one of the She Podcast founders. They were sitting around a table outside the pool area and immediately, we just started talking about the podcasting industry and creativity and a variety of other professional and personal topics.
15 months later, we're still having conversations sparked by that weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona. Jen Edds and Marion Abrams have become friends, confidants, creative sounding boards, truth tellers... They've brought so much to my life. And my favorite part? They're not afraid to hold me accountable.
That is one of the themes for 2023 for me -- personal accountability, something I used to struggle with. BTW If this is something you struggle with, I am working on creating a small accountability group in the coming weeks. Email me if you want to learn more!
Guests:
Jen Edds is an energetic keynote speaker that delivers a memorable message using songs instead of slides to educate and entertain audiences. What else would you expect from a Gen Xer raised on School House Rock and VH1 Storytellers? When Jen isn’t speaking, you can find her working as a podcast consultant and producer - helping others share their voices and big ideas with the world. Jen hosts The Brassy Broadcast and also loves practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu and podcasting about it with her coach on the Beauty and the Gi podcast. You can tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
Marion Abrams is a podcasting producer & consultant with deep experience in podcasting and content creation. She built Spartan's podcast from 0 to over 40 million views & downloads. She's worked on a range of projects from social media advisor on a gubernatorial campaign, to creating the documentary film "Flood Bound", to directing TV ads for Vermont Lottery. On her own podcast "Grounded Content" she explores what drives customer actions, and where the lines are between persuasion and manipulation. For 30 years Marion has helped businesses, organizations and individuals clearly convey their message. Marion is also the official podcasting coach for Hubspot's creator program, and helps other thought leaders, business leaders, and podcast hosts to design and elevate their podcast presence.

Betrayal. At this point in your life, you've probably felt betrayed at one time or another. But what does it really mean?  Dr. Debi Silber defines betrayal as "the breaking of a spoken or unspoken rule." While every relationship has them, the more we trust in someone, the deeper the betrayal. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Debi about the five stages of betrayal that can take you from devastation to taking to total transformation, and how you can actually use betrayal to completely reinvent your life.

There’s nothing more grown-ass than creating a sisterhood of support. Women who lift each other up, call each other forward when necessary, and do it all with an open heart and mind. This episode came to be when I went to speak at She Podcasts Live over the weekend and came home feeling like a better person.

During the conference, I spent a lot of time with three incredible women. We laughed so much, supported each other and really challenged each other to show up in new ways. Speaking of challenges, one of the women in the group did a whole talk about not overcoming unexpected challenges in your life, but creating challenges to help you become the human you're truly capable of becoming.

What if you could spend a couple of hours taking simple steps that would be a complete game changer for the year ahead?

You can.

Danisha Wrighster is a multi-millionaire commercial real estate expert who has turned her life around with a combination of strategy, determination and a clear mindset. Today, she's sharing her wisdom to help us become even more abundant in 2019.

Click here to download...

In Danisha’s eyes, motivating others through their challenges to success and happiness is the driving force behind why she shares her journey. With style all her own, Danisha hopes to inspire people to shift their mindset from scarcity to abundance and gratitude so they can reap the benefits of a life that is greater than they ever imagined.

A young, single, jobless mother on government assistance, Danisha began her commercial real estate brokerage career. With the odds stacked against her, Danisha worked 60-80 hour weeks (often with her daughter in tow) to establish herself in the industry. After not making any money for over 7 months, her hard work paid off. She earned $212,000 in commissions in 5 months and was awarded Rookie of the Year for the #1 commercial real estate office in the company. Two years later, Danisha bought her first home and her first investment property in the same month. It would be the first of multiple partnerships and individual purchases that contributed to the $6.5+ million real estate portfolio and an award-winning Keller Williams real estate team that she owns today.

Danisha began blogging financial advice to women and mothers using the business acumen she learned during the course of her career. She’s appeared on several national talk shows and was the host of Oprah Winfrey Network's OwnShow. Danisha also appeared as a real estate expert on FOX TV’s primetime show “Home Free.”

Danisha honestly and openly shares the tools, mistakes, lessons, and experiences that changed her life and re-created her financially through television, social media, and speaking appearances.
