228 Clearing out the Self Help Books

Mar 12, 2024


#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

Mar 5, 2024


#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.

Happy Lunar New Year–The Year of the Dragon! There are so many ways to begin anew, and in the middle of February we have another. Looks like a colorful, fiery and prosperous year ahead.

Need a re-boot…hopefully our light-hearted take on this traditional holiday will give you that extra boost of energy.
