[00:00:11] Today, my guest is going to help you see that whatever you have in the past is in the Past and that it's time to move forward. Donna's story is an incredible story. She is very transparent in sharing what's happened to her and how she's overcome. Here is the episode. [00:01:16] Jen Lancaster talks about turning your baggage into luggage. The first step is to look for the gift in the adversity. Learning how to transform the things that have happened to us is one of her passions. [00:09:09] And even when we have hit our fifties to remember that. I think being 50 is fabulous too. And why shouldn't we do it to the best? [00:09:51] Forgiveness is so misunderstood and it's forgiveness and compassion for others. When it is serious trauma, one of the things I've learned is forgiveness is like peeling an onion. And learning how to allow yourself to be greater healing. [00:16:13] Don't be a dyer. Get support, get some kind of help. I got my deepest healing and set free when I got a coach. Not just for us do we need to get help, but for the people around us. [00:24:33] More millionaires are made between 55 and 75 than the rest of all of the years. There is more success, there's more patents, there're more all kinds of creative things that happen after 50. Nothing in our life is wasted. It is totally possible. [00:26:17] You need to let go of all those voices. Not schizophrenia voices. But voices from people in your past. All the things that tell you you're not worth it or all those they're not true. Let it let it go and become the person that you want to be. [00:29:54] Jen Hardy I am putting together a brand new thing that is a daily video email. It's going to be an encouraging email that goes out every single day for women over 50. Make sure you tune in again next week. Stay tuned & stay fabulous!
