Fearless in her 60's: BARBARA RAINEY

In Diana Sumpter's 60-Second Throwdown, we talk about everything from what's in her camera roll to the three things she can't travel without. 

What you may not know about Diana, she's a breakfast girl who loves the mountains and carries the biggest purse you can get (with 4-inch stilettos!). And make sure you watch the video to see her show off her favorite fair of sparkly high heels (that she’s only walked in once).

Her life verse is Ephesians 3:20 and her favorite quote is, “You cannot be mad or sad if you’re covered in glitter.” And even though she’s been all over the world, you might be surprised about the one state she’s never visited that she can’t wait to go to.

And I would be remiss if I hadn’t asked her to share the one piece of makeup she’d use if she could only pick one...

Diana Sumpter is a National Sales Director, Retired Air Force, Author and International Speaker. You can find her book, Step Out of the Box: Your Dream Life is Waiting, on Amazon and join her Facebook group, “Generations of Sparkle”.

When it comes to being fearless in your 50’s, only one person came to mind. Diana Sumpter is a National Sales Director, Retired Air Force, Author and International Speaker. She’s helped brainstorm this very conversation for many years and it’s a joy to be able to share some of her wisdom, insights and experiences with you. Here are some things that stood out to me during our time together:

2:07 Fearless doesn’t mean without fear
3:56 This slow down is an opportunity, not an obstacle
5:20 How to feel confident in your calling
6:46 Whatever you say you’re never going to do is probably where your calling is at
10:04 Pay attention to your inner circle, who you surround yourself with
11:20 Choose to respect, even when you don’t like someone’s habits
12:04 Part of being fearless is just to HANG ON, not because it’s the EASY thing to do but because it’s the RIGHT thing to do
17:35 Allow someone you love to run in their own lane
20:28 Don’t take advice from anybody you wouldn’t trade places with
23:04 We can’t control when things crash, but we can control our own thoughts and actions
26:18 The key to change
27:43 Erase & Replace: whatever you talk about you’re going to bring to you
29:47 Always a season when a woman has to slow down
31:17 The enemy will throw every piece of arsenal at you when you are closest to your greatest breakthrough
33:50 Pitiful labels
35:14 As a parent, the 5 people you hang out with will determine your children: confident children come from confident parents
39:09 Be willing to be inconvenienced
40:09 Don’t ask someone what they did, ask what they were thinking and reading
43:06 What she wishes she did when she was younger (moved faster & trusted her instincts)
45:26 How she hopes to grow (Get out of the life of excuses and into excellence)

You can find her book, Step Out of the Box: Your Dream Life is Waiting, on Amazon and join her Facebook group, “Generations of Sparkle”. Visit her at DianaSumpter.com.

Get to know Rachel Marie Martin better after her Generation Wisdom interview in this 60-second throwdown, which is neither 60-seconds nor a throwdown, but a fun series of rapid-fire questions. 

We not only get sidetracked by our mutual love for certain movies and what the internet used to look like, but we get to know what more about her family's breastfast favorites than we ever imagined! And thanks to her extensive travels, we also learn where she got to see penguins swim out of the country.

She also tells us what "normal" means to her and what she's looking forward to doing after self-quarantine...

This conversation with author, entrepreneur and mom of six, Rachel Marie Martin, was especially fun because we were born in the same decade! Getting to talk through the concept of being fearless with someone my age, but who has traveled quite a different path was so interesting and enlightening. Some of my key takeaways from our conversation happened when:

3:57 - Why people think she’s in their head
6:13 - The best compliment she ever received
11:46 - “What would awesome you do?”
16:03 - Where does change start?
19:32 - We all have one powerful tool
28:47 - How to be OK in the uncomfortable space of not knowing the “how”
37:05 - What she wishes she worried less about growing up

Make sure to pick up a copy of Rachel’s book, “The Brave Art of Motherhood”(https://amzn.to/2yvVHr9). And you’ll always find Rachel being real over at FindingJoy.net.
