Both Tish and Ellen believe in angels and spirits. They are like the 8 out of 10 Americans who also believe that angels exist! On this week's episode, Ellen and Tish speak to Author and Yoga Guru Carla Adams. Carla shares her amazing personal story of an Angelic experience she had during a near-fatal car accident.
It wasn't until many years later that Carla realized the woman helping her immediately after the crash was an angel and when her daughter awoke after surgery she shared that she had also had a similar angelic experience. Carla knew without a doubt it was time to complete her story and share it with the world. She wrote, researched, and self-published her memoir "Not My Time". Join Ellen and Tish and get inspired by Carla's story and learn how everyone at midlife can self-publish the book they've always wanted to!
Things we talked about in this episode: Angels, spirits, self-publishing, storytelling, yoga, belief in spirits, near-death experiences, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing - KPD, Not My Time book, beach yoga, faith, Pam Consoli artist.
Carla's Book Not My Time is available here.

Positively Midlife Podcast - The Importance of Giving Back with Lisa May - Ep. 28
play

Send us a text

As we head into the holidays, Ellen and Tish reflect on the importance of giving back. In midlife, we may have more time or the ability to give more to causes we are passionate about and to sprinkle a little science in, research has found that at midlife and beyond when you are purposeful around giving back you experience more joy and happiness. Whether it's volunteering, philanthropy, or mentorship - we can all give back.
We welcome Lisa May to this episode to share her charitable journey - from annual checks to charities around the holidays to her decision to be more hands-on resulting in wide-ranging and innovative programs to help women and children in Malawi. Lisa shares the three pillars that drive the work that she and her husband Nigel do with the May Foundation and how amounts as small as $25, $100, or $400 dollars can have BIG impacts and life-changing results. And Tish, Ellen, and Lisa talk about how to make giving a family purpose when children are young and carry it into adulthood.

You can turn the unknowns into butterfly moments - a rebirth of who we are and positivity. Tish gives us her advice on making the most of the Butterfly Moments to thrive in this stage of our lives.

How do you make sure you have the kind of friends you need in midlife? And Ellen and Tish share a few ideas on how to keep friendships alive!
