We all go through stuff, especially once mid-life hits. Finding resilience and making the choice between recovering or not can be difficult, but not impossible.

This week I'm talking with Kelly Beins, an occupational therapist who built a business, closed a business, and now is thriving in her career.

You'll hear about the mental ups and downs in entrepreneurship and how it's not always as easy as pulling yourself up by the bootstraps. Kelly's humor and willingness to talk about the tough stuff makes this conversation really special.

What happens when you combine a chatterbox cook with an Improv pro?

This week, we're talking about finding the funny with Laura Stark of the improv troupe That's What She Said! The conversations bobs and weaves through pronouns, yoga, bread baking, and why improv for the empty nest ladies is a great (and fun!) idea!

You can find tickets to the That's What She Said May 31, 2024 improv performance in Frederick, MD here.
