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!

The Importance of Giving Back with Lisa May - Ep. 28
Positively Midlife Podcast
11/23/22 • 43 min
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.

Strong Women, Domestic Abuse and Cultural Spillover Theory - Ep 19
Positively Midlife Podcast
09/19/22 • 45 min
We welcome Colette Durst to the podcast this week. Hear Colette's story of domestic abuse and she shares her journey from being a young mother and wife and working through law school to living in an escalating environment of domestic abuse all while claiming the corporate ladder.
After 9/11 Colette's spouse was activated as a reservist and went over to Iraq and she felt that was the turning point in her marriage.
Learn about Cultural Spillover Theory and how that and PTSD may have played a major role in the escalating abuse that was happening. And how these things may have played a role that led to adultery, excessive drinking, personality changes, violence, reckless financial decisions, secretly purchasing weapons, and abandonment.
During this rapid escalation, Colette remained silent from telling her friends and family. As so many women remain silent out of fear and shame and they don't seek out help. While Colette did try and get help from the military, things seem to fall through the cracks and no one stepped forward to help her or her family.
Colette decided recently to write a LinkedIn Article that eluded to her domestic abuse experience of "bringing the war home". This article really spoke to many other successful women that reached out and acknowledged they too are struggling.
Our message to our listeners is when women come together and support each other we are stronger! If you are in a Domestic Abuse situation safely reach out for help. If you suspect a loved one could be in a Domestic Abuse situation encourage them to reach out for help.
