jacki does thank you prince in t v we've had the pleasure of wow it's coming up on a year of hosting our show prince and t v and it's been a lot of fun a lot of people that have just been very helpful and supportive to the life two point  different things on how to get started what did they do what are some of those critical things that they need to be thinking about for their second trying and i know that you've created some wonderful material for an online corner right right so we want to talk a little bit about that today and you know what it's going to offer our viewers and yeah yeah yeah you know the i actually had a course online and i've revamped it and i've included a video a video i wanted to talk to people through the process but at the same time i wanted to share my experience and experience of others right on a so they know they're not alone that i'm you know they're i'm supporting them each step of the way and it's really just that piece just to get you started to think about the second act and the nice part of it about is you know a lot in the past we've dealt with you know kind of baby boomer generation our generation but you know i was aware as i talk to so many other women and men that are younger and younger than us their questions are really the same questions that we had started asking ourselves and they're they're starting to ask themselves this question a lot of times you're saying well it might have been a midlife crisis you know but i'm starting to ask these questions and i really wanted them to know no you're not and the good thing about people a little bit younger in us that hopefully this course will help prepare them for the second act more so then for us you know i second act really was a result of being downsized and then trying to figure out you know what are you doing now but i wanted people to start thinking about this second part of their life and not just you know post new one retirement or whatever but you're miserable now and are some things that you can change right now you think you're having a midlife crisis if things that you can probably start thinking about and changing right now to make a life a little bit more rattling yes so i've created a slight it will kind of walk people through with some of the key points and some issues that i face so if we can have a next the first up it's really as you see it's starting that journey to life to point out and not just live two point zero baby boomers thinking you know right after i retire this new one retirement but again for that younger generation if you're asking questions now when your life creating this point in your life to start being a second act the things you love doing and bring you some fulfillment into this right of your life ok right right so i know you go through and is it  you're doing just for the you're doing a teaching with the video right right and then there's like a workbook right there that work well i call it workbook slash journal ok and along with the have i'm positive aha moments but i want you to write those down because those are the things that each workbook with three parts of the series from just launching part one and each series leads to the other and to the next and to next so it's a continuation so thoughts that you may have and journal one you'll see how they kind of help you in journal two or three part three to kind of bring this kind of pieces together and start creating and thinking about your life now because the worst thing is that people are starting to say is this all that or is so my life where does the rhyme go what is the purpose of my life and especially if you're in a situation where you have kids you know you know young kids are older kids get away to go to college or whatever your time is so much involved with work families of the you know we've been there when you  sense of who you are and what to me some times people never really knew who they were because they fell into that what our society says you must do a b c d excess also i never really had a sense so if we go through the first s the flies will we're going to talk about some points and things that come up so the next life please probably years whatever and she said you know my week days after school are filled with me running around taking them to where whatever the weekends are filled with the kids running around wherever whatever and then family i don't have time to bring yeah that's that's sad but when you're in it yeah you don't even know it know it and then you one day say to yourself oh my god where did those years i go exactly and so it's about taking moments in your life maybe even if it's ten minutes and if it's you know a half hour to carve out time to say this is me carve out time to take a class you enjoy doing so where are you now and you're like i'm one of the things that i want you to stress a little bit is that it's ok to take time for all my guard yeah and especially for women that we care to do and be for everybody and we don't take care of ourselves take care of ourselves yeah and then you know later on we're we're you know we're like oh my my weight is this because you know we're running around grabbing whatever whatever we're not exercising we're not even going to the doctor and having those  for women at certain points in her life to have because we're so busy taking right out of everybody else here everyone else right so i bet whole issue of where you where are you at now in your life is yet relieving that inventory out and because you know the things that may trigger that if you're asking yourself where did the time go and if you're asking yourself is that all there is to life stop right bob that's a clue yeah and figure out right now this moment in time what is my life like what is it life what what's good what's not so good and you always have clues yet about things that aren't right and i think we push them down you know we specially if it's something that's saying to us to do something different from what we're doing or something is saying take a chance to do something we you know we kind of to consciously or intentionally push it down because i've lost life is passing me by there's a sense of dread is that what you're feeling where my i've lost the sense of who of who of who i am you know i find that a lot of people that came from a work environment some sort of embracing world professional people especially when they retire or they downsized they feel that the job was who they were and so they don't have a title anymore and i feel that that's so sad and you know what and it's also true because again i've i've had the pleasure of speaking to younger people who are mit i'd say mid way in their profession and  saying i'm in the sense that up because you know midway when you're in your forty's fifty's early you financially and in terms of your career you're in pretty much in a good place you know you're you're making a fairly decent salary you're probably making what you wanted to or and you don't want to leave that and i understand you don't because you have responsibilities kora but at the same time there are things that you can do if you can't move and you can do things and for me when i was in corporate and i was working you know getting ready for my kids to go to college so heck no i can be a little guy you want to come yeah yeah yeah but that's when i started taking something yourself exactly fair exactly and that was something that i notice i would say after maybe if by year after being out of corporate is that i was so stuck in corporate and one of the things the decisions that i consciously made for the second act of my life was i needed to do something that was creative you know having those moments with doing my it's your design first you know when i was working tapped into that side  writing that i said no i i want to be creative you know that i was equipped with way of thinking that i had i'm like no no no i'm sorry i want to use the creative side right so what how are you feeling take those signals and clues that you are feeling and try to and don't dismiss them analyze it because it's telling you something right it's well when you say absolute can absolutely because that's if we don't take the time to do that that's when life passes us by and time waits for no one exactly it so that we have to make the most you know make time yeah time yeah yeah and you know another way of thinking about it's not you know the best way to think about it but i think i know i have and i'm sure many of our viewers have had members family friends that they pass and you're like oh my god they were only whatever whatever they were only we don't know you know when it's so but you don't wait right don't go away yes you may have kids that are ing going to college or you you can't do later on in life and i know one lady said she loved making jewelry used to make jewelry and my sister would sell it well why have you stopped you know continue to do that you may you know just do it and you know contributed to to maybe like a charity event or whatever to sell money but just still do it or start learning more about design in july so maybe later on lying this was do you want to share your story with how you got it yes so for me you cause you kept saying as a child where you were you the one who was always hoping that other though your and i and i said to two things and at least and the other will lead into the second point here but as a child in my family i grew up where my parents were always always helping a family member we've had cousins we've  us while they got their cells together right the help that our panel on their path right my uncle i thought about this even more because my uncle he actually sponsored diff his nieces and nephews to get them out of georgia and get them to bring them up to new york when they were like very  teens sorry their late teens so that he could go to college and have a you know a better education so it was something that was always i guess in my family that i saw absolutely so it was only natural for me i think looking back to say i need to help people become going to their next then the next step and just become their better person or the person they were meant to be right and then iow when i said they were the other thing we talked about and i said you know i also remember not you know some kid people say as a kid you know i always like to cook or draw or something like so now like they are artists or whatever whatever i didn't have that talent per se of something physical but i always always appreciated beautiful things yeah in my environment and i always just liked the way i looked or people looked just to be just fulfills yeah that need absolutely so if we go to our next slide oh ok this is a tough one and i remember this is something that you and i when we were talking about you know preparing for this particular show who do you want to be a hero to and this is not about being a hero to a family you're not a kid in a year or whatever when i don't know who do you want to be a hero to that goes back to you know just to expand on that question it's like ooh do you want to make a difference right because a hero makes a difference in some so that's kind of what the question is right who do you want to make it right and it's that's not have to be i want to be this famous person i was going you know the my mother to a certain no good talent your skill your passion how do you use that yes to make a name pact on someone write a positive that and pad so it could be something very very small or you know you maybe the next month you know i don't know who shared with me his story about somebody you knew that was either disabled or something yeah yeah yeah sure yeah because yeah because a little thing can make a big quick equipped prefer to fill that purpose so we all are giving something correct so the story i shared with you is because i help take care of a family member that you know has a learning you know when he's not able to you know ride to school to learn what he just knows how to do it he just knows how to do it so think about if we think about those natural gifts we think about those those talents and skills that we have that we think about what people tend to come to you for you know for for help or guidance or whatever so when i for me answering that question i said for me i want to be a hero to people who are not sure about their life they say you know because we have a purpose we have we all are meant to do something right so if i can help someone identify their gifts their talents that will lead them to finding their purpose of x when i want to be the hero to that person around that i help that right to to uncover things and to put together the plan so that they can go out y it right yeah right yeah so that's a big question that i feel is very key to the second part of my because in the first part of life we we it happens so we have responsibilities and so we're kind of the hero to our children to our family to our team or whatever it is but that's something that was not consciously designed or and you know what and because also we don't we live in a society that does not talk to you about your purpose your right are yet he talks to you about looking a certain way  making a certain income because that is what success looks like so we i think very early on you know that's kind of how we decide what we want to do in life because we want to have the job that gives us the ability to live with a certain way or whatever i don't ever remember anyone asking me and i never even thought about yes what i might what am i good at what are my talents it was just like ok i kind of like this but is this going to provide the way i want to live carette i think that's what a lot of people right do they don't really think about and our society is not does not train us or allow us to think that way because now we have to have a certain way look a certain way make a certain amount of money to be successful yeah and and you know the the the second part of life i think we have a chance to to ask what's the impact do we leave on this world i'm not aware i'm talking about our families at the moment but what is the impact that we want to leave on this world and it may just be that we just want to be a kind person and in the everyone wants your life to matter you know i think people who you know or kind of in a negative way a path of life because they don't feel their life matters right all want our lives to matter correct so that's what my programs are about helping people to figure that out figure it out it's never too late or to continue correct you know so if they want to know more if i can we go to sue last that's going to be available next month right yeah that should be launching next month with the video and again that's june june yes and again the video was so key to me because i wanted to be able to talk to people  left any other words of wisdom for viewers in terms of how they're spending this part of the life and how you know how how are they continuing this part what are some of the things that maybe they're fearful of but you know just some words of encouragement  i know all about fear and that's so fearful at certain moments about things that i want to do with the business and you know i still have those doubts you know but i have my vision  but i always seem to have somehow come back on track so i've just really learned that ok i am afraid to do this we're going to do it anyway right so right and then you know the other thing about this is that we need to fearful of something that's one of the reasons why i love doing the workshops because i workshops people always have suggestions for someone else figure it out for themselves but they always come up with suggestions for someone else they can always give input so i really want this to be a community of people that have saying the second act of my life is a life that matters i want the younger people that are younger naming a young going to me to say gas hopefully links to other gas and in their websites that are resources like for example our first part you talk about your space you know creating that space so there's going to be a link  point out community you know really says that passion lisa purpose purpose opens up a world of possibilities we all have it within us to make this second act of our life feeling lives so for our viewers thank you for being part of
