In the second part of this episode, Talethea ponders about jealousy and envy. We all deal with it to a degree. But is jealousy bad? Do we want to be jealous? Do we want to feel resentment, bitterness, or hostility towards anybody because they have something we do not have? Is it possible to want something someone else has without feeling bad about it? Join the discussion and share your thoughts about that.

In this episode, Talethea introduces Pamela Robinson and the 40+ Double Dutch Club she has started. Pamela started the Club in May of 2016, and the Club has grown to a nationwide Double Dutch movement since. At first, they met twice a week in summer. When they started to grow, the members wanted to meet during wintertime also. Now they are meeting indoors and outdoors throughout the year. According to Pamela, 40+ Double Dutch Club is so much more than having something fun to do. It is beneficial not only for their physical health but also for their emotional and spiritual health.

If you want to start a 40+ Double Dutch sub-club, inbox Pamela on Facebook and she will let you know how to start a group.

In this episode, Talethea introduces a new segment of the Chapter Next Podcast: Featured spectacular woman for the week. This week it is Symone Groover. Listen to episode 10, to find out more about her and the Fixin’ Crowns Book Club she started about a year ago.
The subject of this episode is fighting for your limitations. According to Talethea, our limitations prevent us from succeeding and living out our dream. So, why do we fight for them? Where are those thoughts coming from? How to deal with them? What is your definition of success? Listen to Talethea as she dives in, asking those questions and giving some tips on how to stop fighting for those limitations. Remember - you are the only thing that is holding you back. In the Brainstorming segment, Talethea shares the answer to the previous question and asks the next one.

In this episode, Talethea welcomes Alice Martin. She is 42, a mother of four, and she has a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. Alice shares her story, how she transferred from childcare to healthcare, from a nurse to a marketer, to an executive director. And now, she is working on her doctorate in acupuncture, which will allow her the opportunity to be an autonomous, self-sufficient practitioner focusing on what she believes in. Her message for you is: reach your goals. And then look around you and see where else you want to go. Never settle. Live within your means. Save your money because you never know when the rain is going to come. And make sure you get your health in order. Your health is your true wealth.

This episode is about not letting us become old and grumpy women because nothing in our lives happened the way we planned. Talethea gives some guidelines on how to actively fight not to let that old, grumpy woman in. It is something that you have to do on purpose, every day for the rest of your life. The list of the things you need to do is quite long. It goes from getting a life coach, changing your mindset, becoming the woman that you want to be before you get the results, to looking for closure and acting on the things you see that have to be fixed. Listen to this episode, get yourself a plan, share your thoughts, and do not let that old woman in.

In this episode, Talethea reminds us why this podcast celebrates women over forty. It is because there are not so many of them that stand out. And yet, they are so awesome. There is truly magic in talking to the women in their 50s, 60s, 70s, who have learned to get over their mess. Talethea recalls the time when she realized that she is not satisfied with what she had accomplished. She reflects on some episodes and guests and reminds us that we can all be like them, living our dream and not complaining about the things that we are dealing with. She gives us some examples of women who decided to do what they love. Listen to this episode and be encouraged to do the same.
