    Midlife Explorations

    Featuring: Mary Czarnecki, Sairan Aqrwai & Gayle Goodman Lynch As many people approach midlife, they start to think that there may be more to life than the work that they do or the job that they have. By the time we reach our late 40s and into our 50s, especially after the children have left home and are starting their own adventures, it’s almost as if we reach a graduation of sorts ourselves, where we have learned a great deal and we seek to apply our life’s knowledge in service of something more than ourselves. And sometimes that means we outgrow the career that we’ve have for 20, 25, 30 years. This may be why we are seeing so many people today pivoting into coaching in midlife, especially. Or perhaps looking to start another kind of business, sometimes in a field very different from the industry they’ve grown comfortable in. In this episode, Choice Wisdom host Gayle Goodman Lynch is joined by two other coaches who approach this conversation from two different angles. Mary Czarnecki is marketing leader turned full-time business coach, workshop leader and speaker. Sairan Aqrawi still works in a full-time job as an engineer, but on the side she coaches midlife women who are seeking professional and personal growth, particularly those who seek to monetize their passions and skills. Each of them brings a unique perspective to the subject of midlife explorations. If YOU are thinking about starting your own business, make plans to attend Gayle’s free Wantrepreneur Explorations webinar at Noon Central time on Friday, April 11. Whether you are considering taking the leap into business ownership full time or starting gently with a new side gig, this webinar will offer practical things to consider when you are looking to start your own business.

    Replace, Don't Resolve

    For many people, a new year is a great time to make the choice to do one or more things differently than we’ve done before. The “new year, new me” philosophy fuels the new year’s resolution. However, the reality is that the majority of people who make new year’s resolutions only stick with them for about three months. If you made a new year’s resolution this year (or are thinking about making one), I want to share my perspective with you. I believe the process behind making new year’s resolutions has a fundamental flaw, and that is – most of us are already too booked up to add anything else to our plates. Before you dive head-first into making changes big or small in 2025, I invite you to consider what you need to let go of first. The idea is this: before you resolve to do something new, find something you’re already doing that you can replace instead. Like all choices, it’s simple, but making lasting change isn’t always easy. To help you, I’ve created Practically Grounded, a weekly quick-read newsletter that offers practical tips for leveling up your choices for 2025.

    A Better Alternative

    Can you change the world through investing? In a country where women-owned businesses receive only 2% of private equity funding, there's certainly room to do just that. In this episode, Kelly Ann Winget, founder & CEO of Alternative Wealth Partners, shares her wisdom on investing in alternatives and how women can both become savvier investors and attract more funding for their businesses. Alternative Wealth Partners is a Dallas-based private equity company that manages diversified funds of alternative assets. An alternative investment is anything outside traditional assets – which are stocks, bonds and cash. Alternatives cover a broad range assets, such as oil and gas, real estate, crypto, venture investing, private equity, and collectibles, such as stamps or art. Traditionally, private equity has a reputation of being complicated and exclusive. As Kelly explains it, this is because the industry lacks transparency, as well as diversity in the management. Kelly and her team seek to remove these barriers by allowing the public into the alternative investment space by making it understandable and accessible to Main Street investors. Want to know more?
