#123. The Importance of Building Your Confidence Through Career & Life Transitions!
I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Sara Arnell, and I'm sure you will as well. Sara offers a look into her personal struggles and how we can all learn from her story. She explains how lobster moments or moments of crisis and triggers can be the turning point for transition, and that we all have the power to "take off our robes, and lose the trappings of what we think defines us"
Sara is a former advertising CEO, author and professor at The New School’s Parsons School of Design. Her thirty-year career in fashion, writing, and advertising broke new ground, winning awards and global recognition for her work and its clients. In her new book, There Will Be Lobster: Memoir of a Midlife Crisis, Sara offers a look into her personal struggles and how it took a rogue lobster, dying rock star, an eighteen-pound tumor, a meditation guru, a famous medium, and a former monk to put her on the path towards light, hope, and healing. It is Sara's hope that anyone who reads this book is given the hope that they too can rise back up, no matter how far they think they have fallen.
There is no shame in midlife changes just self-empowerment, if you can face it and get the kind of help that you need.
You have to care for yourself as much as you care for everyone around you, and it's not self-indulgent.
The idea of living a life of service either towards your own dreams and goals or towards helping someone else's is how happiness starts to bubble up
Change starts inside with how you look at the outside world and how you see yourself living in that world, not trying to grab things from outside to see if they make you happy. It's the other way around
Be inspired as Kavita, founder of Power Purpose Play speaks from the heart about her thoughts surrounding vulnerability, and how, as Brene Brown describes, “Vulnerability is basically uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.”
We all experience some form of vulnerability at different times in our life. The key is to try to detach yourself from the consequence of your actions, don't be so concerned with external validation, and try and let go of that Gremlin that tells you, "I'm not good enough".
There is catabolic energy or a destructive tearing down force, which is often associated with stress. There there is anabolic energy which is a constructive, building up force. With this type of energy, its easier to focus on solutions, tap into creativity and experience a more complete and conscious view of situations.
The less judgement and fear people have about themselves and situations, the more anabolic energy they can access. So when you judge yourself, worry about what other people think, and strive for perfection, you are operating at catabolic energy levels. Versus when you are free from trying to be perfect, bring out what is inside of you without fear of judgement or without attaching yourself to the outcome of your actions, you operate in an anabolic energy state.
Kavita wants you to access those high anabolic energy states so you can be your most creative, excited, brilliant and beautiful self.
Be vulnerable, take chances, don’t worry so much about how many followers you have, how much you are going to make, what will people think, how you look, how you sound, being perfectly perfect.
Be yourself and figure out what it is you really want in your life moving forward.

Enjoy this next episode of The Midlife Reinvention Podcast, where we learn from Genein Letford about Intercultural Creativity, among many other important and relevant topics we can all apply into our lives. As the 2019 LA Lakers Business Woman and the 2015 CA Charter Teacher of the Year, Genein is a national thought leader and creator of the concept of ‘Intercultural Creativity™’. She is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of CAFFE Strategies, and her 7 Gems of Intercultural Creativity is a leading framework that encourages corporations in their diversity and inclusion development. Genein believes creative thinking thrives best in an inclusive environment and she is often called ‘America’s Creative Coach’ for her work in reigniting intercultural creativity within our workforce. You can find Genein here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/genein-letford-b17b9973/ https://www.facebook.com/GeneinSpeaks/ https://twitter.com/GeneinLetford www.instagram.com/geneinletford/ www.CAFFEstrategies.com
Here are her key takeaways:
The number one skill needed in the workforce today is creative thinking. People can be creative, but if you're not in an environment which is inclusive, then the creativity skills don't matter because you're not able to really execute.
Cultural competence is your ability to be observant of different cultural situations and you are able to see the complexity within them
The 7 Gems of Intercultural Creativity are 1) A creative growth mindset 2) An open mind and open heart 3) I see you, I see me 4) Curiosity 5) Perspective Shifting 6) Authentic Adaptation 7) Being a Bridge
#30. Patti Pokorchak: On Living a Life With No Regrets
Enjoy this colorful conversation with Patti Pokorchuk. Her positive spirit, no-can-do attitude towards living a life on the edge is both entertaining and inspirational.
Patti was NOT a born sales professional. She was the shyest female tech pioneer, proving that ANYONE can learn how to sell, AND love it too. Patti now teaches Entrepreneurial Sales at Ryerson University, in Toronto Canada.
A serial entrepreneur since 1992, she helped co-found and run a software business, scaling to multiple 7-figures in sales before opening up her own hobby farm and garden center, despite not knowing anything about farming!
At the age of 25, she decided to start living a life with no regrets, turned her back on a promising career at IBM, and took on a one-way ticket to Europe for a year….. which ended up being 9 years. Her adventures as a serial entrepreneur and living a life of experiences are in her book The Accidental Farmer.
When you fast forward to 90 or 95 and are sitting on your rocking chair - your regrets at that age are your dreams for today, and it doesn't matter what age
If you're not living on the edge a bit, you're not living. If something you do doesn't scare you a bit, then you're not growing
Join Kavita Ahuja, Founder of Power Purpose Play https://powerpurposeplay.ca/ as she muses about the importance of realizing our dreams. She talks about how dreaming is not just for children, and somehow, as adults we have just stopped doing that.
Her message is to DARE to DREAM, and that despite our perceived insecurities and lack of confidence, if we put our true intentions out into the world, the realization of our dreams is possible.
Kavita celebrates the launch of our signature course: It's My Time Now: How to Rediscover Yourself in Midlife. It is a step by step guide which she followed, and she is giving you the tools to help you realize your dreams. But its not just about dreaming. It’s about taking action on an idea, a twinge in your heart, that keeps on getting louder, so much so that you can’t ignore it any longer.
This course is about taking what is inside of you and bringing it out into the world. It could be you are stuck in your career and don’t know what to do next. It could be that your kids are now away and you’re wondering, what’s next? It could be that your relationships no longer are serving you, or that your health or spirituality is not where you want it to be. We explore all of that and help you find your reason for being.
Kavita will walk you through a process she developed called the Pyramid of Reinvention, and there are 6 levels which culminate in a plan of action for you. You can choose between independent learning, where you start and study at your own pace in a completely online program. Or you can choose group learning where she will guide you and a small group of women through the pyramid of reinvention in 8 transformational weeks. Or you can choose private learning where Kavita will personally coach you in 12 personal coaching sessions.
All the details and how to register can be found here: https://learn.powerpurposeplay.ca/
The first cohort starts the week of October 4th and if you or a friend register by midnight on Friday, September 17th you will receive 10% off the cost of the course! We believe so strongly that you will gain so much from this program, that we are off
It was such a pleasure to speak with Ashton Applewhite on this important topic - her passion for leading this emerging movement to raise awareness of Ageism and how to dismantle it is fascinating, and we can all learn from, and participate in spreading this awareness.
Ashton is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism, and is a leading spokesperson for the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and to dismantle it. Ashton has been recognized by the New York Times, the New Yorker, National Public Radio, and the American Society on Aging as an expert on ageism. She blogs at This Chair Rocks and is the voice of Yo, Is This Ageist? Ashton speaks widely at venues that have ranged from the United Nations to the TED mainstage, has written for Harper’s, the Guardian, and the New York Times, and is a co-founder of the Old School Anti-Ageism Clearinghouse.
In this 26th solo episode of The Midlife Reinvention podcast, Kavita Ahuja, founder of Power Purpose Play https://powerpurposeplay.ca/ muses on what it means to her to turn 55 years of age. Society puts so many labels on each of us and how we should behave or what we should be doing at different stages of our lives. Kavita wants to turn those stereotypes on their head and take the word "crisis" out of midlife!
Instead, midlife is a time for renewal and rediscovery, and a time when we should be looking within us for the answers to those big questions, like, who am I, and what do I really want? More importantly, what is stopping me from getting there?
Kavita's life's work is to help women in midlife find the answers to these questions. At the age of 52, Kavita left an extremely successful corporate pharmaceutical career of almost 25 years, took control of her health, reignited her marriage, and found her next true calling. This is to help women find the Power within them to rediscover their Purpose, and reinvent themselves, regardless of their age or circumstance. She rediscovered herself after the age of 50, and she believes you can too. Her mission is to help you do just that.
"My vision is to give you a glimpse of yourself beyond anything you can imagine. I want you to experience more happiness, more hope for your future, more excitement for your next journey, more confidence in yourself, and a greater understanding of your true purpose and power in this next chapter of your life."
She wants you to realize that It's Your Time Now - to take the time out for yourself and rediscover what has always been inside of you, and to celebrate YOU. If you are interested in the learning more about our comprehensive course, "It's My Time Now: How to Rediscover Yourself in Midlife" https://learn.powerpurposeplay.ca/ contact her at kavita@powerpurposeplay.ca to be placed on the waiting list. It is an 8 week transformational journey led by Kavita and will be launched in the Fall, and is a culmination of all of Kavita's learnings and based on her own reinvention .
