With all the craziness and chaos in the world it’s easy to ask questions like: How can I make a difference? Where do I have power? What can I do, build, or create to have a positive impact on the planet?
The truth is: You are not powerless. You are the boss of your life. How you lead matters. How you talk about what matters to you makes a difference. Your words and actions are impactful.
As midlife women we impact multiple generations – grandkids, kids, peers, and parents.
When you realize this and bring this awareness into every moment of life, you start to engage with your own personal power and agency in an entirely new way.
In this week’s show we’re going to share ways you can make a difference particularly on the environmental front. We’ll be talking to seven-time Emmy nominated actor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. Ed will be sharing what each of us can do to start living more sustainably. I’ll share how living more sustainably can also improve your health and wellbeing.
