The Boomer Woman’s Podcast

TBW Guest: Vegan Lifestyle Coach Lou Hooper

There are many reasons to embrace a vegan lifestyle.  For Lou Hooper, it started as a response to health issues and then expanded to animal rights.

As a later-in-life convert, Lou understands the hesitancy, the concerns, the mystery, the slips that can come with transitioning to a vegan lifestyle.  That makes her an ideal coach for you on your journey.

This episode Lou shares great tips and suggestions, with care and understanding, to make the transition work for you.

TBW Guest: Survivor / Thriver / Life Coach Bobbi Kahler

Bobbi's identity as an athlete was interrupted with a diagnosis with a 3% chance of surviving.  It took 10 years but survive she did, coming back as a stronger athlete than pre-diagnosis. 

She relates how a walk to the end of the driveway one day was a major success. She explains how to start with those first small goals and then you can learn your way forward.  Bobbi agrees it isn't always easy and you can't compare yourself to others. She offers some tips if family members aren't on board.

Such an inspiring story with a lot of logical thoughts to start us off this New Year.

TBW Guest: Natural Lifestyle Coach Dr. Leslie Kasanoff

Today's guest is a great start to December - the month when we often spend indulging our waistline, we socialize instead of exercise, and many of us contemplate what we’d like to change up as a new year presents.

Dr. Leslie Kasanoff spent her life in healthcare, including 25 years as a holistic chiropractor on the Central Coast of California and 10 years before that as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. Recently, she's combined her “science geek” side and her alternative care practitioner side to help women through health coaching and consulting. She works with women who want to lose weight, address hormone issues, and resolve or reverse chronic health issues - not just treat them - using food and lifestyle as medicine. 

She's an ‘idealistic skeptic,’ having a science mind but a caring heart and a passion for helping people with simple effective tools.

Today, Leslie discusses the body and its abilities to heal, health and vitality, and hormones.  She debunks several myths around diet and lifestyle, with some recommendations for making it through the holiday season.

Editorial comment: Agnes did make the Sweet Potato Tacos with Cabbage Cups for herself, the mentioned vegan friend and his mother and they ALL loved them!

TBW Guest: Best You Career Coach Chelle Johnson

Chelle Johnson climbed high on the rungs of the Fortune 50 corporate ladder during a Talent Acquisition and Human Resources leadership career that spanned 20+ years and three continents. She loved what she did until eventually she didn’t.  

Now, she guides other high-achieving but under-fulfilled professionals who are ready to dig deep and do the work, to make their own transformational journey. 

In this episode, Chelle explains mental fitness and positive intelligence; how her clients come to her for help with their professional lives and how that overflows into their personal lives.  If you're

• Working in a toxic environment

• In a job that no longer aligns with your personal values

• Topped out at your organization

• Feeling called to make a bigger impact

• Overlooked for the promotions you deserve

• Done living in a non-soulful way

then you need this episode.

TBW Guest Madonna Hanna on Creating a Culture of Civility and Success

Growing up in the conservative Boston area, Madonna Hanna was usually only one of a handful of children of colour in her schools. She was bullied and discounted and her experiences both as a child and as an adult gave her both "thick skin" and a lot of resilience.

On numerous occasions, Madonna "took the high road" because to respond or react, would only sink her to the same level as her antagonists.  She led by example both in the east coast fashion business and as a teacher on the west coast.

Most people would find that more than enough to define their life's work but Madonna added athlete, widowhood and acting to her repertoire.

Madonna shares all with deep thought combined with great wit and much humour.
