The Aging Goddess – An Interview with Susie Verde Today I’m visiting with my friend Susie Verde. Susie is Brazilian, 50 years old, and passionate about helping creative women access their unique, authentic self and unleash their unlimited potential through a unique approach to personal transformational. She is an Ordained Interfaith Minister, a life purpose coach, a Positive Psychology Practitioner, and a professional astrologer.

Hidden and misjudged by the church for millennia,

Aging Parent Aging Children The relationship you have with your aging parents may not be any different than it was decades ago. There are a lot of assumptions and expectation hidden in any relationship, especially when it come to aging, but more often between parents and their children, who may be clueless about what’s going to happen when their parents age. Sorting all of this out sometimes takes the courage to ask difficult questions and to begin difficult discussions. Otherwise there is a burden of silence that will greatly influence the tapestry of the life of both parent and child.

What Am I Afraid People Will Decide About Me? Regardless of our age, each of us have some core fear about what people will find out or decide about us. And, because we don’t want to be found out, we develop strategies so as to hide, pretend, or act the way we want people to see us. We do this dance of “be afraid and strategize” probably 92% of every day. That leftover 8% is the time within which we may experience freedom, playfulness, relaxation and contentment. Here’ the scoop: Unless we become conscious of this process, our later years

Depression is So Depressing While scrolling through posts on my Facebook page the other day, I came across a photo of some my friends that was taken a couple of weeks ago. I hadn’t seen them for about seven years but each of them in this photo was hardly recognizable to me. Most of them are in their 60’s. Each had gained at least 20lbs, and each appeared to have lost that vibrancy that made them unique and attractive. My instant response was deep sadness, as though these people were gone, died, left the planet. Now, I experience a sense

Being the Expression of Our Essential Self Our egos love conflict; in essence, that is all it knows. It fights for survival; again, that is all it knows. The intention of these podcasts is to empower you to empower yourself to be more at choice as to who you listen to in your head. The part that says, “You shouldn’t want that, you shouldn’t like that, you shouldn’t feel that way, you shouldn’t think that way,” counters every natural and authentic idea you have that is true for you. Did You Know? Every one of us has the capacity to

Fear of Dying Makes Us Afraid of Living Death is one of the most influential concepts that seeps into how we live life. Death is a transition, much like the many transitions we experience throughout our lifetimes. When we look back, we can see all the times we’ve died – or at least our identity has died – and our attachments to what was got annihilated, by controllable and uncontrollable circumstances alike. Yet we have the incredible ability as humans to grow our capacity to transition gracefully through whatever Life throws at us. Including death. But for that to be

How Do I Choose to Choose What I Choose? We are constantly choosing what we choose. Did you know that?! Sometimes consciously, other times unconsciously-but we are always choosing! Most often, however, we tend to focus on what to choose and rarely focus on how we choose to choose what we choose. This podcast explores how each of us live in a process of choosing that gives us the results that are in front of us, which are not necessarily the results we’d like to have in front of us. – – – – For more blogs, books and videos,

What Would You Do If You Knew You Could’t Fail? Age! A long time ago, this question was popping up in self-empowerment materials: "What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?" One particular day, I closed my eyes and felt into the question, "What would I do?" The answer came swiftly – not from my thinking mind but out of the depths of my being: "I would sail around the world by myself!" I was shocked with this answer, because, even though I sailed across the Atlantic in my 40’s, with my boyfriend who had a very large

The Courage to Change the Things You Can Through my group at the Senior Center here on Orcas, it has come to my attention that most individuals are aging with an addiction to thought patterns that actually create isolation, loneliness, hopelessness and dis-ease. This is no different than those of us who become addicted to substances and behaviors that create isolation, loneliness and hopelessness.

So we learn to be
