EO83: The Importance Of Sisterhood In Midlife
On this week’s episode of The Messy Middle Road Trip podcast, Nicole shares her experience with reconnecting with her Emerson College sisterhood after 27 years through zoom. She explains how the Asabiyah sisterhood was formed in the late 90’s and why there was a need to reestablish those relationships now. In an effort to work on the guiding principals of the group, they have chosen to do activities based around the following themes over the next few weeks: self care and connection, identifying powerful women globally and in our communities, discuss cultural movements and work with non-profits and community service organizations.
The first week’s topic is self care which is so important at any stage, but especially in midlife. Here are a few examples of what self care looks like for the sisterhood:
EO82: Facing Your Fears In Midlife With Jessica Pertuz
Welcome to the Messy Middle Road Trip podcast. Today we’re going to be talking about facing our fears. This could include anything from signing up to audition for a singing competition to saying hello to the handsome barista at your coffee shop. The definition of fear in the dictionary describes an unpleasant emotion caused by the BELIEF that something or someone is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. The key word here is BELIEF. Fear is not a tangible thing even though it can feel like it with physical responses like sweaty palms, racing heart or shortness of breath. Fear is a choice. So many of us choose to live in fear because of the “What if.” What if I fail? What if I look stupid? What if I get hurt? What if I lose money? What if we “what if” ourselves into a lifetime with unfulfilled dreams and missed opportunities? There was a quote that stated “Being courageous doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid. It means your bravery overcomes your fears. I love that because oftentimes we forget that courage and fear walk hand in hand.
Today, we are thrilled to have Jessica Pertuz riding shotgun in the convertible with us. Jessica is an Account Executive with WWLP-22 News & The CW Springfield. Jessica regularly has the opportunity to meet with and get to know the clients that she works with. There was one high flying interaction with a company called Jumptown that changed her life forever when she decided to give sky-diving a try. This is an episode you won’t want to miss so hop in and let’s hit the road.
In today’s show, Jessica shares how she was introduced to skydiving and what her first jump felt like. (more…)
