HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!🥳

Today is the ONE year anniversary of YOUR AGE IS NOT YOUR CAGE PODCAST! I released my very first podcast the same week I donated a kidney!! It was a very BIG week in my life and one I’ll never forget!

Thank you to all my amazing guests for spending your precious time with me and sharing your inspirational stories and wisdom that have changed lives!

Thank you to my guests and my listeners for sticking with me as a “newbie” podcaster that is still learning as I go! You won’t find perfection here or perfect sound or perfect video or perfect pics. What you will find is authenticity, vulnerability, friendship, wisdom, laughter, tears, and so much love.

Thank you to my listeners for reaching out to me in my DM’s and sending texts of how a certain podcast spoke to you or changed your life. Your encouragement and support throughout the year have meant the world to me.

Thank you to the lifelong friends I’ve made through doing this podcast. That has truly been the biggest JOY and gift to me in this whole year-long journey.

And thank you to my son, Jake who patiently edits and publishes every podcast. I couldn’t do this without him!

I’m excited for year 2 and what God has in store!!! Please reach out to me if you think you’d be the perfect guest for my podcast or you know someone that would. I’d love to hear from you!

Cheers to YEAR ONE and Cheers to YEAR TWO!!

Thank you for rating, reviewing, downloading, and subscribing and sharing with your friends & family. Please continue to do so!!

We have our first episode with a guy on my podcast!! I’m so excited to introduce you to Chef James Barry. James has spent 20 years in the culinary field where he started his career as a private chef for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Barbra Streisand, and many more. He is also an organ meat expert and the founder of PLUCK Seasonings, an organ-based seasoning. James is a published cookbook author having co-authored recipes in many different cookbooks.

I can tell you that this was one of my favorite podcasts! We covered extensively the health benefits of eating organ meats, how to cook them, and integrate them easily into your diet. James also dropped so many amazing nuggets of wisdom about honoring our health journeys, mastering your kitchen, seed oils & the best oils to cook with, recommended cookware, cooking with your kids, how to amaze your friends in the kitchen, attainable simple cooking tips, an easy way to make salad dressings, and so much more. You truly will be blown away! Get your pen & paper for notes and sit back and get ready to be WOW’d by my conversation with Chef James!

Have you found yourself in this place? Do you think you’re more of a cheerleader or do you tend to think of women as a threat especially if they’re in the same field of work as you?

I think this is where the saying “with age comes wisdom” is really appropriate for me. God has definitely done a good work in me on this one. It’s not always easy to admit your shortcomings, but here we go.

I used to have a very competitive, insecure, jealous nature. Little did I know it all had to do with my OWN insecurities that caused me to be this way. I was so insecure in my own skin, in my own talents, and in my own abilities that I used to see other women as a threat. I felt threatened if they were prettier than me, more talented than me in a sport or activity, or if they had more education than me. It made me feel inadequate. Not enough. Not worthy. It all sounds awful, doesn’t it? I was good at being passive aggressive and cutting to the core in a way that seemed like I was kidding. When I look back, it’s so ugly and offensive and childish but that insecure little girl in me didn't know how to cheer others on because I viewed them as my competition that I must conquer and defeat. I believed there wasn’t enough room for the both of us.

I’m inviting you to go into a deep dive with me and ask yourself honestly where you are in this area of your life. I’m going to share with you ways that I was able to overcome the “threat” syndrome. I’ll also give you some action steps that you can utilize to help you be a better friend, encourager, cheerleader, and friend. Let’s get vulnerable together and BE THE CHANGE this world needs!

Love y’all! xoxo
