    151. Generation Jones: The Keg Was Empty | And Somebody Already Ate All the Good Dip

    Today we follow up on last week’s … well, more “serious” episode, with some fast fun facts and nostalgia for Generation Jones women. Remember metal lunchboxes, three TV channels, Pong, cassette tapes, feathered hair, The Brady Bunch, Star Wars, the mall, and memorizing phone numbers? But beneath the humor is a deeper story. Generation Jones grew up between worlds—old enough to remember rotary phones and typewriters, but young enough to embrace smartphones and AI. We watched history unfold on television, experienced enormous cultural change, and became one of the most adaptable generations of women ever. Whether you carried the high-status Partridge Family lunchbox, recorded songs off the radio, or spent weekends at the mall, this episode is a celebration of a generation that learned how to adapt, reinvent, and keep moving forward. Because from metal lunchboxes to iPhones, we’ve survived a lot—and we’re still going strong. I’m Laurie Adams — Certified Life Coach — and if you’re ready to take a first step for life transformation now just download my free guide, to get motivated and get going. Find at  laurieadamscoaching.com. It’s a way back to yourself with prompts to get clear on your goals, release the diet rules that never worked, and find the people who’ll cheer you on. You haven’t failed; the diet industry has failed you. And this is where your comeback starts. This episode was produced by The Podcast Teacher: www.ThePodcastTeacher.com.

    150. Too Young, Too Old, or Just Right? | We Thought 60 Looked Old

    Generation Jones … who me? We absorbed 1960s idealism as children. We watched Kennedy, King, and the moon landing on fuzzy televisions. We were told the world was going to be amazing. And then we grew up and got Watergate, stagflation, the AIDS crisis, and a job market that told us pensions were a thing of the past, so … Hard-working. Adaptable. We're the women of Generation Jones. Baby boomers who moved beyond, and we got to ride this wild wave of "the world is changing for women.” We didn't just watch it happen, we were in it. We were the first generation of women who broadly expected to have careers and families and an identity that wasn't just defined by one or the other. That sounds amazing, but also exhausting because nobody gave us a manual. I’m Laurie Adams — Certified Life Coach — and if you’re ready to take a meaningful next step, come work with me one-on-one.

    149. Skin Deep | Simple Self-Care For Summer and Way Beyond

    This is a summer episode — and I meant it to be a short one. Not because the topic is small, but because I think the best things we can do for ourselves are usually pretty simple. So today, I have done the research so you don't have to. I have verified what matters, I have sorted out what doesn't, and I'm going to give you a few easy takeaways you can actually use — whether you're hearing this on a walk, in the car, or sitting somewhere in the sun. Today we're talking about suncare. And before you think, "Oh, I know this one," stay with me. Because I think a lot of us know it in the same way we know we should drink more water. We know. And then we don't always do. I’m Laurie Adams — Certified Life, Weight Loss, and Productivity Coach — and if you’re ready to stop living for everyone else’s well-being and start living your own life, come work with me one-on-one.

    148. Not Broke. Just Bothered | Making Peace with Money Anxiety that Just Won’t Quit

    Here's something nobody tells you: feeling anxious about money is not a flaw. It's information. The worry isn’t the problem. The avoidance is. The sneaky thing that happens when we feel that anxiety — we avoid. We don't open the statement. We change the subject. We tell ourselves we'll deal with it later. And honestly? That avoidance feels like relief in the moment. Except it's not. Because the thing you're avoiding doesn't get smaller, it just gets louder in the back of your head. So here's the reframe: What if instead of calling it money anxiety, you called it money curiosity? Curiosity is energizing. Anxiety is paralyzing. Same underlying feeling — completely different direction. I’m Laurie Adams — Certified Life, Weight Loss, and Productivity Coach — and if you’re ready to put an end to constant worrying, come work with me one-on-one.

    147. The Reunion Reckoning | Show Up for Today and Honor Yesterday with Joy

    Picture this: It’s late June. The grass is cut. The paper plates are stacked. Someone has already asked you three times what you’re bringing. The cousins are pinging the group chat. The grandchildren are being promised a good time by people who will not be managing the logistics.And you are standing in your kitchen at 7 a.m., already tired. Today we dig into the foundation of family gatherings and why it calls us to earlier versions of ourselves. Sure, women carry a bigger share of the reunion labor, but we’re also the ones ready to share the activity with joy for past memories and present moments.

    So, a midlife life coach walks into a bar … actually, a vegan restaurant, and the transformational story ends in her happily-ever-after reinvention. OK that’s it, nada mas … zero … zip … that’s all I’m explaining here. To connect the scattered dots you’re just going to have to listen!

    145. The Week that Changes You | And Why You Should Say Yes

    When was the last time you did something that surprised yourself? Let’s be clear … I’m not talking about an “earned” surprising week where  you finally clean out the garage! I mean the kind of surprised where you’re standing somewhere new, breathing different air and you think—with amazed delight, “Who IS this woman right now?” And you like her. A lot. There is a version of your life that doesn't exist yet. Not because you're not capable of it. Not because you're too old, too out of shape, too set in your ways, or too responsible. But because you haven't stepped into the environment that would call that version of you out.

    144. Whose Closet, Identity is This? … Mine, Now! | Dress in Your Energetic Life Every Morning

    Your closet is not a storage facility. It's a daily conversation with yourself. And right now, that conversation may be keeping you tethered to a version of yourself that has already been outgrown. Energy returns when life aligns with identity. That includes the life you put on every morning. This is a follow up to Episode 140 where Laurie cleared our closets of “shoulds” and settling for “perfectly good."
