When we think about the stages of a rose from seed, to bud formation, to swelling and anthesis, until it finally wilts. Through each stage of the lifecycle it can be a slow and steady journey that can test the patience of even the most advanced gardeners. Today I want to share with you a beautiful story inspired by my grandson Noah. Listen in as I reflect and think about:

• The third half of life is a new stage of opportunity and strength.

• Admiration and taking in all senses of an experience, through the lens of a child and finding surprise meaning.

• Change within different stages of life.

• Learning how to tolerate uncertainty and find a new path for yourself.

• Creativity and inspiration for your path in life.

It does not matter what you have been through, where you have been or what has happened up to the third half of your life, you can make a change. And my guest today is Professor Theresa Agostinelli who shares her story of resilience, grit and fortitude. Join with me as I chat with Theresa about:

• Her journey from anxiety, shyness and depression and the healing journey she gifted herself to make significant changes in her life.

• How she has been given the spirit of power so we can empower others.

• Her G.R.I.D. system which helps to overcome environments which cause negativity.

• Self-sabotage and unworthiness that we feel as women and how it is instilled into us.

• Daily discipline and training of your mind.
