Welcome to the "Let's Talk" page, where we aim to create an open and honest conversation about embracing our 'second acts' in life. We're excited to build a platform where you can join the conversation and break down the stigma of discussing the challenges we face.
Our goal is to spark healthy collaboration and sharing. We want to create a space where people feel comfortable opening up and sharing what has worked for them. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all solution, and hearing diverse perspectives can provide support, acceptance, and guidance for finding the best path forward.
One of the longest challenges I have faced thus far has been my weight management and while it took a long time to find my path, it has proven to be my most successful journey. It has been the pivotal shift I needed to help realign my inner monologue and find a sustainable and manageable way to keep going and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
One of the biggest challenges in starting a 'second act' is the fear of starting over and doubting your ability to succeed this time. We aim to help you overcome this by providing resources and a community that encourages self-forgiveness, letting go of past anger and frustration, and believing in your worthiness of happiness and fulfillment.
Let's talk about change and the challenges we face in life and how we can learn to embrace what comes our way!
I know for myself, I only ever though of grief as something we experience when someone we know and cares about passes away. The truth is how we deal with any loss, perceived or actual, can result in us experiencing grief. When the change in our life drastically impacts or way of life, our abilities or who we see ourselves as or thought we would be, we can experience the same emotions and find ourselves experiencing the various phases of grief.
“Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” One of my favourite lines in the movie Forrest Gump. Why? Well think about it for a second. If you lose the little piece of paper that tells you what is inside of each chocolate, and you will not know what flavour it is until you take a bite. Sometimes you will love it, sometimes you will not! And that my friends is exactly what life is.
Change is a part of every stage in our life. We adapt to new opportunities, to adopt new habits, to achieve new goals. Sometimes we cope with what life throws our way. It isn’t always something we choose to do, sometimes it is a result of something that has happened to us. This change can cause us excitement, joy and an eagerness to get started, and other times it can cause us fear, sadness or even anger.
