Viva Fifty and Beyond

by LeAura

Lorraine C. Ladish is a beautiful baby boomer on fire with the entrepreneurial spirit, an artist’s heart, and a writer’s mind. An articulate, and poised free spirit, Lorraine is a woman on a mission to do great work in the world connecting, elevating and empowering others, especially bilingual Latina women.

Empowering Women

Lorraine’s life has been charmed and challenged. She’s come full circle from comfortable international family of writers, to poverty and despair and back again. Today, Lorraine’s is an inspiring and colorful success story.

Even if you’re not bilingual and don’t speak Spanish, you will find much of interest on Lorraine’s beautiful site, VivaFifty! If you’re a baby boomer woman, you will find lots to engage, inspire and delight you.

There are so many good articles on her sites. Two of my favorites articles on VivaFifty! is Lorraine’s articles on 10 Signs That You’re Rocking Middle Age, and Famous Authors Who Were Published After 50.

Lorraine started VivaFifty! just about a year ago, at age 50! She had worked in a well established web publishing company, but as she approached her 50’s, she realized that if she really wanted to do work that mattered to her, she needed to create her own site.

“I realized that if I don’t do my own thing, I’m never going to be in charge.” Lorraine C. Ladish

Lorraine’s message—and life—is a lot about empowering others by sharing what she’s learning in her own journey and by bringing some of the best resources to her audience through her articles and resources as well as that of the contributing writers of VivaFifty!.

You may also be interested in learning some of the surprising cultural differences in the Latina and American communities. We touch on that and the struggles of youth and self image, and now coming more fully into the strong, confident woman Lorraine is today, inspiring others to have the courage to become more fully what they can be.

It’s interesting how it can take us a long time to become more fully ourselves, but when we do, there’s no putting that genie back in the bottle!

Lorraine remarries at age 45 to Phillipe Diedrich, Lorraine Ladish, VivaFifty!, LeAura Alderson Baby Boomers, Latina Women Over 50, Phillipe Diederich, Sofrito, — Lorraine remarries at age 50 to Phillipe Diederich.

Life Remade and Remarried

A love story… a soul mate… a blended family… and today Lorraine is happily remarried to Phillipe Diederich, also an author, whose debut novel is coming out in June 2015, titled Sofrito.

Lorraine and Phil met through a chanciest of encounters—one of those things that each could have missed if not open in the moment—not long after she went through a specific emotional and mental exercise about herself, aging and relationships.

“When you’re in your mid-forties and you have kids, you love a man who treats you like a lady, who respects your children, who comes home when he says he will, and who worries about putting food on the table. So yes, in midlife, my biggest turn on is a faithful, loyal, hard-working guy.

I will never forget when we first met…”

Lorraine Ladish, VivaFifty!, LeAura Alderson Baby Boomers, Latina Women Over 50, Phillipe Diederich, Sofrito, — Phillipe Diederich and Lorraine C. Ladish found each other in their mid-forties, when she was 46 and he was 45.

“He had also done his share of soul searching and maybe that’s why our souls met. All I know is that we met at the right time.” [Reprinted from Lorraine’s article on VivaFifty!]

Today Lorraine is fully reinventing her life, liberating her entrepreneurial and writer spirit to soar.

She is just revving up her second half of life, filled with creative ideas awaiting birth, including two new books on the way, one in English!

Wedding-Photos-Viva-Fifty, Lorraine Ladish, VivaFifty!, LeAura Alderson Baby Boomers, Latina Women Over 50, Phillipe Diederich, Sofrito, — Phil and Lorraine’s marriage and expanded, blended family.

Lorraine C. Ladish started VivaFifty! to inspire women to see the opportunities of aging over the obstacles and possibilities over problems.

Lorraine believes in women helping each other.

We agree and we’re looking forward to keeping up with her at VivaFifty.com and LorraineCLadish.com, and hope you’ll drop in for a visit too. Let us know if you have issues or challenges you need help with and also if you have stories of triumph over tribulations.

We’re all in this together and if we can help you by bringing you the resources you need, or help others by sharing your story, that makes a day well spent for us here a Boomers Reinvented and over at Viva Fifty!

For anyone interested in launching or building their own blog or website, Lorraine shares some of what she’s doing and how she does it and what’s working for her.

I’m getting opportunities by admitting my age that I would not (otherwise) get. – Lorraine C. Ladish

Fit and Fun Over 50

by LeAura

Fit and Fun Edutainers!

What a great term… and a great team!

Meet edutainers, twin sisters, Kymberly Williams-Evans and Alexandra Williams of Fun and Fit… with “Active Aging Answers for Boom-Chicka-Boomers!”

Fit Twin Sisters, Fit Baby Boomers, Fitness Lifestyle, Kymberly Williams-Evans, Alexandra Williams, FunAndFit.org, Fitness, Exercise, 50's, Best Boomers and Beyond, LeAura Alderson, Fifty and Fit, Fit Over Fifty, My Trainer Fitness, BoomersReinvented.com, Boomers Reinvented, Boom Chicka Boomers, exercise, fitness, aerobics, Jane Fonda — Twin sisters, Alexandra Williams & Kymberly Williams-Evans in 1983, teaching aerobics from the beginning of the movement.

Their story is quite interesting—involving revolutions, Europe, lost luggage in the Arctic Circle, and workout tops gone awry.

I caught up with Kymberly and Alexandra soon after they spoke at a recent Bloggers at Midlife conference in Nashville, put on by the cool folks at Midlife Boulevard. They were there to help energize, motivate and inspire the audience while mingling and exchanging experiences with fellow boomer bloggers.

Fitness has taken us around the world to meet some of the best people.

Kymberly and Alexandra are hilarious and they keep fitness fun, practical and effective.

They began teaching aerobics in the early 80’s even before it was a “thing”.

It seems they just happened to be in the right place at the right time. But they also seized the opportunities that came their way, walking through each open door of opportunity which led to globetrotting and living around the world during most of their 20’s.

People who exercise tend to be more outgoing, optimistic and vibrant.

Click To Tweet

“We’ve met some of the most amazing people around the world through fitness,” says Kymberly.

And revolutions?

It just seems that wherever we would travel there just happened to be a coup!

We will never know what roles they may or may not have played in catalyzing revolutions, but chances are good a few involved a few broken hearts when they finally returned home to settle down and raise kids.

The twins are sold on fitness for life and eager to help others keep healthy and fired up with healthy lifestyles. One of their mottos is so true and so important:

Small Steps lead to Big Changes

You can read more on that and other really helpful tips and articles on their blog.

In our conversation we also evaluated two angles to a similar quote:

Alexandra said, “Once you do a lot of movement it’s actually more uncomfortable to be still.”

But I thought she said, “Once you do a lot of movement it’s actually more comfortable to be still.”

Turns out both sides of this coin are true.

Tune in to this fun interview with delightful and fit boomer twin sisters, Kymberly Williams-Evans and Alexandra Williams, and please visit their site for some fun inspiration.

Kymberly and Alexandra of FunAndFit.org

International fitness professionals, twins, and edu-tainers, Kymberly Williams-Evans, MA and Alexandra Williams, MA have been in the fitness industry since the first aerobics studios opened–with them–in Europe, before leg warmers and thong leotards were the rage.

They teach, write, and present their programs on land, sea and airwaves. Kymberly is former faculty for the Dept of Exercise and Sports Studies at University of California Santa Barbara: Alexandra edits and writes for IDEA: The Association for Health and Fitness Professionals.

Life Wide Open

by LeAura

EDITORS NOTE: We had several technical systems challenges on this interview, between the translator and bandwidth issues, but overall, these are barely noticeable for the audience until the very end, so please tune to meet Karen and get inspired!

Life Ahead of Me is Wide Open

Living life wide open, Karen Putz is a woman on fire with passion and purpose. She turns 50 this year, in 2015, and she’s looking forward to it with pride, as well she should, because she looks younger today than she did five years ago!

Deaf at age 19, Karen is a mom, wife, champion barefoot skier, many-times author, speaker, advocate for the deaf and overall amazing and wise human being.

“All our life experiences are building blocks to the next opportunity, to the next path, to the next journey, and it’s up to us to take that and go in that direction.”

Karen sees her life as wide open, with loads of projects and possibilities… she has her list of top 100 things which she created during a life-transforming experience with Debra Poneman, in her Yes To Success program, and we’ve no doubt she’ll be checking on that list and creating a new one!

When you’re surrounded by people who think you can’t… you think you can’t.

Click To Tweet

“When you surround yourself with people who are doing these things, you get the sense that you can do it too.”

“Everyone said, ‘You’re going to hurt yourself. You can’t do this. You’re too old to be thinking about this.'”

“I have role models in my life that I didn’t have before… that are living life, who are breaking the boundaries.”

“”I have learned that time is a really precious commodity to me now. I don’t spend time around toxic people.”

“I find I am much happier when I’m around people who are like-minded… who have dreams, who are deep in their own passions and don’t have time for the pettiness of life.”

For more of Karen’s story, be sure to visit the inspiring media site for boomers: Growing Bolder, that we mention several times in the interview. They have a great video of Karen’s story where you can get some more of the details beyond our video interview.

Life ahead of me is wide open.

Click To Tweet

Karen Putz is passionate about helping others unwrap their passions at any age. And she’s a living example of someone who has overcome adversity and struggles. No longer flailing in the wake of the past, she is forging her future by living each day fully engaged… living life wide open.

Karen was born with normal hearing and became hard of hearing after a bout of illness in elementary school.

At the age of 19, she tripped over a wake while barefoot water skiing and cartwheeled into the water. She thought she merely had water in her ears, but being deaf was here to stay, thanks to a wacky gene in her family. Becoming deaf turned out to be a blessing; after she dried the tears, Karen decided to embrace life and a whole new world opened up.

Today, for starters, Karen is a speaker, writer, Passion Coach, and competitive barefoot water skier, and above all, a mom. Visit with us, and please connect with Karen, and check out her books.

Your Gift to the World

by LeAura

[Pardon the occasional internet freeze in this video. It’s mostly brief and in the first half].

What’s your gift to the world?

Inquiry

Do you know?

Hint: it begins with “Y”.

It’s YOU!

So… who are YOU… really?

Do you sometimes feel like you’ve not yet even begun tapping into your amazing potential? Are you ready to get on with what it is you’re really here to do?

Originality

How and where do you begin?

Tune into this engaging interview with Jamie Greenberg “chief originologist” and branding wizard at A Brand YOU way to get a head start on discovering this for yourself.

Jamie gets it.

Jamie has an intuitive eye and a knack for cutting through to your essence, holding it up to the light to marvel at, then carefully constructing the best form or vehicle for presenting that to the world.

I want to find out what’s great about everybody. Jamie Greenberg @aBrandYOUway

Click To Tweet

Refinement

In my diligent auto-didactic pursuit with numerous coaches and programs, Jamie was able to accomplish in short order what most were not able to do at all: laser in on the soul of who I am and what gifts I can best bring into the world. Then he helped me hone in on creative ways to share that more fully with the world.

Jamie is like the stone cutter with an eye for cutting the diamond in a way that reveals its hidden beauty and authentic lines. He’s gifted at helping people discover and position their essence into their best brand through his company, A Brand You Way.

Vision

Jamie and I both coach people, and yet we’ve each benefit from coaching each other. The best coaches also continuously seek coaching. The diamond needs the jewelers help to shine. The jeweler needs the diamond to reveal his own brilliance and artistry.

Those who are determined to grow increasingly more conscious and self-aware, seek input regularly, from various sources, ever tweaking and adjusting toward better. That’s how all life on earth grows best: tap in, tune in, grow, adapt, refine, shine, repeat.

Dream

Many people today feel that something is missing in their lives… that they’re missing the mark but can’t quite put their finger on what that mark is.

Whenever we feel out of sorts, it’s usually an indication that we may be slightly off course.

Those emotional rough spots are like the bumpy shoulder of the highway that signals we’ve strayed off the main road. Inner agitation and depression is often a message from our soul. It may be the message that it’s time to get on with our real work. Jamie can help with that.

Your purpose supports your vision, and your passion fuels your purpose. @aBrandYOUway

Click To Tweet

Purpose

Most boomers have amassed a reservoir of experience, skills and wisdom to draw from and share, but may not be clear on some of the best ways to do that. Jamie talks about how his four phase process lasers in to help you identify your “why and then your “what”.

When you think about it, it makes so much more sense to get paid doing what you love, than to continue to work more years doing something you don’t.

When you’re doing work you love, it’s no longer work. It’s joy!

I didn’t want to die never having sung my song. @aBrandYOUway

Click To Tweet

Don’t leave your song unsung, your canvas half painted, your book unwritten, and dreams unrealized.

Craft

Jamie can help you snag your “gorgeous chaos moments”, and identify your focus… your diamond or “tagline”, and then identify the setting or process for manifesting it.

Your tagline has to be a description of your promise of value. @aBrandYOUway

Click To Tweet

Manifest

Tune into this video interview to hear Jamie’s story, and some valuable tips on his four key pillars of Vision, Purpose, Passion and Values. He can help you refine and craft yours into an authentic brand that’s your gift to the world.

NOW is the best time to start.

Jamie Greenberg is father of two and long time spouse to the inspired word artist, author, writer, and extraordinarily creative Ali Skylar, whom we also interviewed on Boomers Reinvented. After years of running a successful entertainment agency and helping his family grow and sell a multi-million dollar toy company, Jamie’s passion is to inspire and mentor YOU on how to tap into the miraculous power of YOUR originality and “personal brand” so you can live the life you’re SUPPOSED to live!

Turning Assets into Income

by LeAura

SHIFTING FINANCIAL PARADIGMS

One of the best ways to succeed in whatever we do is to learn from those who know more than we do about our given area of interest, and who have achieved more than we have in whatever area we’re seeking growth.

I’m super optimistic about the world these days.

I’m optimistic, primarily because I do not tune into the media of negativism and fear. Instead, I tune into interesting people who are living extraordinary lives, and I learn from them daily.

Interview, Patrick Donohoe, Paradigm Life, LeAura Alderson, Financial Fitness, Financial Education, Investment Strategies, Inifnite Banking, Wealth Generation, Best Boomers and Beyond, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Be Your Own Bank, Entrepreneurs, Robert Kiyosaki, Whole Life Insurance, — Boomers have more opportunities today to become their own boss and live the lives of their dreams, than ever before.

There are thousands of inspiring people of all ages, in new creative endeavors. I get especially excited seeing baby boomers embarking on new adventures as they work to reinvent themselves during their second half of life, and there are more opportunities today to become your own boss and live the life of your dreams than ever before.

Many of the most inspiring people I consider my teachers and mentors are Generation X and Y entrepreneurs, such as Patrick Donohoe—a Gen X-er. These are the 25-45-something year olds who are changing paradigms, working outside the box and thinking expansively from an impressive innate wisdom.

Patrick Donohoe is one such on a mission to empower people with financial education so they can make better choices and have the freedom which comes from greater financial wealth.

Communication between the generations is paramount. Patrick Donohoe

What’s so cool about today, more than any other time in history, is that we can all learn from each other. The elders are no longer just the “keepers of wisdom”, and in my experience, when we allow ourselves to learn from each other as contributing, productive human beings, no matter the age, we’re all better of.

We’re delighted to have the opportunity to catch up with Patrick and hear from him, what he’s invested in, what resources he utilizes and what’s important in his life. So, get your cuppa favorite brew and please join me in learning more about Patrick Donohoe.

A few highlights from Patrick follow this, but do not replace the ambiance of hearing from Patrick live. You will see near the end, what really lights him up… and I think you’ll be able to relate, but let us know in your comments below or on our Facebook page, what you enjoyed most about this interview.

Interview Preview

Patrick Donohoe: It’s a really cool time to live… and it’s based on your perspective, and that determines [your] reality, and even though it’s crazy and chaotic… it’s one of the coolest times to be alive.

Patrick’s company offers a financial tool that helps people to become their own banker and self-financier, while maintaining the benefit of whole life insurance. This is a financial product controversial to some not educated on the concept, and Patrick’s mission is to help people make informed decisions, by offering free educational videos and articles on the topic through his company’s site:

It’s always good to consider multiple opinions and multiple perspectives. Patrick Donohoe

Patrick Donohoe: If you just have one perspective on something, you’re taking a gamble as to whether it’s right or wrong for you. So it’s good that there’s a lot of critics. It’s the stages that truth goes through, where it’s not just accepted as truth, but it goes through a rebuke and goes through some criticism. If you address something rationally… it gives people a chance to evaluate and decide.

Entrepreneurs have existed since humans could think, and believe me, entrepreneurs are figuring out ways to solve your problems. Patrick Donohoe

Patrick Donohoe, is an inspiring and successful young entrepreneur, passionate about financial education that helps people make more informed choices. He’s working to shift old paradigms about wealth, by making once exclusive financial tools utilized by the wealthy, available to all who are interested in exploring clever and creative options for turning assets into income.

It’s good that there’s a lot of critics. It’s the stages that truth goes through. Patrick Donohoe

Click To Tweet

There’s a plethora of information out there about financial vehicles and investing. So much that it could be overwhelming. But don’t let it discourage you. Rather, take it on as a sort of “brain gym” exercise… a puzzle to figure out that helps keeps your mind agile and young through the learning process.

When you make a decision, make a decision based on your [informed] knowledge, not on somebody else’s. Patrick Donohoe

We think you’ll enjoy tuning into this interview with Patrick Donohoe, a leader and entrepreneur, who has built a large, highly successful company, based on teaching financial education and helping others to achieve financial freedom.

Leading with Strength, Against All Odds

by LeAura

If you were told you’d never walk again, would you accept those words as truth? Fortunately for her family and clients, Kathie Nelson did not sit down, lay down and give up, when it seemed like her life was over.

Instead again all odds, she began leading with strength. First getting her own life back together, then climbing back to physical ability and business success.

Because of that… because Kathie has pushed through incredible personal challenges, to get to be where she is today, she’s able to helps her clients achieve their best.

Kathie is a compassionate, but results driven visionary, guiding business leaders to achieve and succeed.

In fitness, personal trainers push you to your own success because they’ve first achieved their own. In business, it’s the same with good business coaches.

“Mentors, trainers and coaches know that you can do more than you ever thought possible.” @LeAuraAlderson

Kathie discovered that about herself the hard way, but it’s a lesson she turned into a success story, in running her own business and life, and helping her clients do the same.

Through Kathie’s various life circumstances, which she shares in this interview, she decided at a very young age, to never be dependent on someone else again. That’s actually a pivotal life circumstance for many entrepreneurs, and especially women, because then it’s not just about job independence, but also relationally.

Alan Ellman calls his company The Blue Collar Investor, because he taught himself the blue collar way, through study, application and hands-on learning, and, because many of his clients are middle class, blue collar workers seeking to improve their financial education, and to apply that knowledge to create their own wealth and retirement security.

One of Alan’s mottoes is:

Become the CEO of your own money. Alan Ellman, @theBCinvestor

When Dr. Ellman began to notice that managed funds were not generating good or even reasonable returns, he decided to that it was time to take his finances into his own hands. His success attracted attention, and people began to flock to him to learn his methods, and that was the beginning of The Blue Collar Investor program.
