EP191: Lessons in kindness. Meet Susan Verde
Number one New York Times bestselling author and children’s yoga and mindfulness expert Susan Verde knows the power of positive self-talk. For decades, Verde has struggled with her inner critic, a voice inside telling her that she was not enough. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices became her way of challenging and quieting this voice. However, the moment she became a parent, the voice became louder than ever. How would she manage to parent three little ones when she could not speak to herself with compassion, kindness, and love? Motherhood would prove to be the ultimate test of her practice.
Woven throughout the book are mantras reminding readers to speak to themselves with compassion, with the ultimate goal of living, loving, and parenting from a place of freedom and authenticity. Verde’s message is that we must all be the authors of our own inner dictionaries, filling them with words of self-love. We must listen to the voice that is telling us that we are worthy. And we must let these words become our story.

EP190: A Mother's Day Special rerun with Alex Sanfillippo
In this episode I talk to the inspiring Alex Sanfilippo. Not only is Alex a successful podcast host and entrepreneur, but he values the importance of relationships and staying connected. In this very special Mother's Day episode, we hear in his own words, what it's like to look back at his relationship with his mom through the years, and how important it is to stay connected.
Many of us feel sad or anxious when our adult children leave for the next phase of their journey, but as you'll hear, it can be filled with many emotions, but most of all it is filled with excitement for new adventures.
The porch light will always be on.......
Alex Sanfilippo started his first business at the age of twelve; selling used golf balls. From there, he went on to real estate investing and a technology start up which he sold years later. For the past decade, Alex has been an executive in the aerospace industry. During his time in corporate America, he stayed active with his side hustles; which mainly consisted of conference speaking and business coaching.

Customer Reviews
So empowering!
I just discovered Amy’s podcast and absolutely lover her approach to pressing play and moving the needle on our lives!
I listened to Lessons in Kindness with Susan Verde, it’s phenomenal! Susan’s insight about authenticity giving us freedom spoke right to my heart. The combination of authenticity and giving ourselves permission to continually grow is so powerful. Highly recommend!
Connecting through Stories to face the future with confidence
Fearlessly Facing 50 creates connection through community and the valuable stories she shares. Her guests dish out the science and wisdom so desperately needed for the 50 and above crowd to fearlessly face the next many decades ahead. They say aging ain’t for sissies,but Amy takes it to the next level which inspires confidence in the journey and adventure. Always a satisfying listen. THANKS!
Absolute gem of a podcast! Each episode full of wisdom for women!
I have been listening to Better Than Gossip for a few months now and I absolutely love it. Each episode is full of wisdom for women. The guests are varied in their topics pertaining to women and the hosts Amy, Kristen and Lisa bring so much of themselves to the conversation as well. I highly recommend a listen!
