228 Clearing out the Self Help Books


#hourglassconversations #womenover50

We’re tired of clearing out books, especially those self-help books we’ve held onto for years? This week, we had fun with this topic and share a couple time-saving ideas.

We have a couple friends who have commented they would never buy a self-help book. We, on the other hand, have probably spent enough on these books to have bought a small car (or beautiful jewelry). Books we thought might help or improve ourselves.

Looking back, were they useful or not? Who knows? Either way, they’re no longer on our bookshelves. Self-acceptance of who we are now is so freeing! And makes getting rid of those books much easier.

Share your stories and interesting self-help book titles you once owned in the comments section below. 

 

227 Begin a Good Habit Again


#womenover50 #hgwconversations

Are you so over winter and feeling stuck, yet being nudged by the beginnings of Spring? If so, listen to our take on beginning a “new habit” again.

Cherryll has been wanting to start something new, but talking about it did not lead to action….until it did. Nudged by a friend, she finally did it– made a decision, scheduled it and started.

Hopefully our conversation will nudge you into action to make a decision to do something you want or need to do.

Living Forward with Cherryll Sevy

As a woman well into my midlife adventure, I understand the pain that change can sometimes entail. I, too have stood in the kitchen in the middle of the night asking, “What am I doing with the next 30 years?”
Through my own experience and helping others, I’ve learned how navigate these new waters and live forward.
