    Women Over 50: Reinventing Homeownership

    The fastest-growing group facing homelessness today? Women over 50.  In this episode, we reimagine what housing and financial security could look like when profit meets purpose. Dionne Payn, founder of Women for Housing, shares how ethical property investing and social impact real estate are creating affordable housing solutions and pathways to midlife financial resilience.  Whether you’ve feared outliving your money, struggled to see homeownership as possible, or want your investments to align with your values, this conversation offers fresh hope, practical tools, and new ways forward. Dionne’s own reinvention — from her Jamaican Pentecostal roots in the UK to becoming a global leader in ethical property investment — makes her mission even more powerful. She proves that investing with purpose can deliver strong returns while also creating community housing solutions that change lives. Through collective models like community homeownership, intergenerational living, and collaborative land acquisitions, Dionne shows how women traditionally excluded from the market can access financial independence  and long-term security. If you’ve ever worried about your financial future in midlife or wondered whether you’ll be secure in the years ahead, this conversation offers practical strategies, fresh perspectives, and inspiring possibilities . 🎧 Ready to rethink what homeownership and investing can look like for women? Listen in — and check out Dionne’s book Ethical Property Investing on Amazon or visit women4homes.com to be part of the solution.

    Emotional Brain Training: Rewiring Stress Into Joy

    Your brain is naturally wired for joy — stress is simply blocking the signal. This insight forms the foundation of Dr. Laurel Mellin's Emotional Brain Training (EBT), a revolutionary approach grounded in neuroscience of resilience  and proven tools for healing after trauma. Your brain is wired for joy — stress just blocks the signal. That’s the foundation of Emotional Brain Training (EBT), a neuroscience-based method for stress relief, trauma healing, and emotional resilience created by Dr. Laurel Mellin.  With 40 years at UCSF, Dr. Mellin developed practical tools to rewire the brain for joy, strengthen mental health, and support midlife reinvention.  Her research shows there are five levels of stress in the brain, each requiring a specific emotional resilience tool. By matching the right tool to your stress level, you can shift from survival to joy — naturally, without medication. Dr. Mellin reframes trauma as “pre-joy” — not permanent damage, but a doorway to wisdom, compassion, and growth. Whether you’re healing after trauma, managing relationships, or rebuilding in midlife, EBT offers proven strategies to reset stress circuits and reclaim joy. Through her personal stories — from professional setbacks to finding love later in life — Dr. Mellin demonstrates that joy isn’t random. Joy is a brain skill you can practice, strengthen, and carry with you for life.  🎧 Ready to reclaim your natural state of joy? Listen and begin your own journey with Emotional Brain Training.  Resources & Links -  For similar episodes on discovering joy, check out episodes 116 and 139 of Aging with Purpose and Passion.  And if you're a caregiver navigating the challenges of caring for a loved one with dementia, I highly recommend that you listen to Fading Memories.

    Reclaiming Self-Worth: A Midlife Journey of Resilience

    ✨ “You are enough. You are worthy. Be who you are.” What happens when a farm girl from Saskatchewan who learned to lead turkeys at age five grows up to face childhood trauma, domestic violence, and decades of silence—only to transform it all into tools for empowerment? Carol Metz Murray’s story is one of trauma recovery, resilience, and women’s empowerment. As the founder of the Naked Leader Institute and a five-time bestselling author, Carol reveals the profound cost of silencing your voice—and the liberation that comes when you reclaim it. From surviving childhood sexual assault to an abusive marriage she knew she shouldn’t enter—even on her wedding day—Carol’s journey is both heartbreaking and inspiring. A turning point came when her husband threatened her with a gun, pushing her to escape with her four children. For decades, unhealed trauma showed up as workaholism, until her body and spirit simply couldn’t continue. The healing breakthrough came years later, when a chance encounter with a childhood friend validated her abuse experience after 45 years of carrying it alone. For women over 50 navigating midlife reinvention, Carol’s message is clear: healing after abuse and overcoming childhood trauma are possible. By reclaiming your voice and embracing authentic leadership, you discover that your deepest wounds can become your greatest gifts. 🎧 Ready to reclaim your voice? Connect with Carol through the Naked Leader Institute and discover how women can rise from surviving domestic violence and trauma to living with self-worth, resilience, and authentic power.
