I don’t know why, but it always surprises me when a woman shares that she feels that she’s a fraud and isn’t qualified to be doing what she’s doing. On the outside, she appears to have it all together and is succeeding and inspiring others but that’s not what she feels on the inside.   It’s funny that I find it surprising because which each new venture I take on, that fear creeps in. Who am I to be doing this? I ask myself. The lesson is that no matter what level someone may reach, that feeling of doubt can rear its ugly head.   Joining me today is Patricia Suggs, an internationally known speaker and bestselling author, the CEO and Founder of ARISE Leadership Consulting, the CEO of PKS Publishing, and a Trainer/Facilitator.   Today we’re diving into imposter syndrome, and we chat about:   Characteristics of imposter syndrome Techniques to work through the syndrome How to transform perfectionism into healthy ways to succeed Connect with Patricia at patricia@pksuggscoaching.net   To grab your copy of Your Journaling Journey search for it on Amazon or with these links:   Canada: https://amzn.to/3ACRHla USA: https://amzn.to/3B0A28l   Remember to Find Your Calm in the Chaos with my 7 Day Kick Start Journal   Follow The Roller Coaster: Facebook @therollercoasterpodcast Instagram @the_roller_coaster_podcast Pinterest @EmpoweredMidlifeMoms YouTube: @TheRollerCoasterPodcast TikTok @rollercoaster_podcast

Many of us moms, spend the better part of two decades putting everything we have into our kids, husband, and home.

Growing up I can remember my mum saying to me “you are your own worst enemy”, it took a while to understand what she really meant.

Have you ever been sucked into the false promises of this diet or that diet? Let’s face it, for many of us in midlife, the pounds seem to come on much easier than they shed away, if at all! Once we hit the other side of 40 – our health, and maintaining it, becomes critical. BUT, it is also VERY confusing because our bodies are different, and there isn’t any one solution.

Midlife can be an incredibly confusing, chaotic and challenging time of our lives. Many times we suffer in silence and we don't share what's going on, which in turn, can make things worst. This is especially true if you're finding yourself in any type of spiritual awakening, a deep yearning for something more for yourself and your future.  When I went through this, I didn't have a clue what was going on, let alone be able to put words to what I was feeling, never mind share it! Is it any wonder that midlife it such a crazy roller coaster? My journey is still unfolding and I am becoming more comfortable with things that the mainstream may consider "woo-hoo".  Joining me today is Mellissa Seaman is a business strategist, intuitive channel, world-renowned retreat leader, sought-after media speaker, and host of the Channel Your Genius podcast.  A Stanford-educated former business lawyer, Mellissa, is also an adopted EarthWisdom ceremonialist of the indigenous Tlish Diyan tradition, a potent Energy Healer, and a highly regarded professional intuitive.   Mellissa bridges the worlds of business strategy and intuitive development to guide professional women in midlife to clarify their deepest purpose, do business with heart and ease, and step into a new level of leadership as what she calls Wise Women Queens.  You may know her as the “LawyerShaman” who empowers formally corporate women in midlife to become professional wise women as respected spiritual guides, transformative teachers, and oracles of industry without losing respect reputation or revenue.  But what you might not know about her is that she lives with a herd of goats that sometimes end up climbing onto the roof of her house.   In this episode, Mellissa shares her 7 Types of Wise Woman Queens.

Stacy Reck teaches art journaling to heal. Early in her counselling career, Stacy led a grief and loss group. One night the room felt very heavy, and no one wanted to share. In that moment of awkwardness, she broke out some crayons, paper, and music and had everyone draw their feelings. From that one night, everything she knew about mental health shifted and changed. Stacy is a Holistic Counselor with training in Expressive Arts, Jungian Psychology, Dream Mythology, and Holistic Leadership and is certified in Past-Life Regression Therapy. Art has this magical way of healing the body, mind, and soul. Art journaling helps you relax, solve problems, and keep track of your process. Truly, it’s not about being an artist but a way to tell a story and work through your feelings and emotions. It’s a meditative process where you can find peace and even happiness. Why being you is the best thing to be. Perfection is overrated! Messy IS the new perfect. How spending time with yourself in the quiet, doing something you enjoy, can heal you. You don't need to be an artist or good at art to use art journaling as a way to heal.
