    Midlife Truths with Julie Flakstad of The Midlife Truth Podcast

    Today, Julie Flakstad of The Midlife Truth Project joins us for a seasonal conversation about more midlife truths.  If you haven't "met" Julie through our original episode, her links are below. In today's conversation, we cover the ache of letting go, holding onto expectations in parenting and relationships, the changing role of families, and so much more. The Midlife Truth Project was originally a series of interviews, a time capsule of thoughts and feelings about women's experiences at the intersection of their 40s and 50s. Now, these vulnerable shared truths from the Midlife Truth Project, a cross-generational portal of wisdom, help normalize and reframe what aging looks like today. Just like you, Julie wears many hats in her daily life, including the new role of producer. In midlife, she has chosen to lead intentionally by surrounding herself with people and experiences that trigger ideas and spark conversation on her new podcast, The Midlife Truth Project. If evolving friendships, changing family dynamics, financial security, ever-changing body awareness in the physical and spiritual sense, hormones, or sex have caught you in a riptide, give yourself permission to be heard, reflect, laugh, and maybe even cry because that's good, too. We invite you to follow and befriend Julie of The Midlife Truth Project.

    A Book Review: Monsters, a Fan's Dilemma

    We reviewed Claire Dederer's "Monsters, a Fan's Dilemma." If you still need to read it, we have linked the original article that inspired this book to a journal entry on our website. But in this episode, Alexis Kletjian reads passages from "Monsters," so you can easily follow along. Our favorite chapter was about "The Fan," exploring the role of fandom and its consequences while diving into the complexities of artistic appreciation and the challenge of sidestepping ownership as the audience. Lauren Golt, a bonafide film connoisseur, leads a chapter dedicated to Woody Allen. Towards the end, she questions whether artists can achieve redemption for their monstrous acts, especially in the context of surviving cancel culture. Her passion for cinema has inspired her to create Bar Reverie's CINEMONDAYS, a monthly event series at her restaurant where she curates film screenings. This episode is full of contemplative pauses as we question ourselves and each other. The question remains: what do we do with the art of monstrous men?

    Lesson in Luxury: Love & Relationship Collection inspired by Color, Crystal and Feng Shui

    We are on a journey with color. For the Luxuries for Your Soul rebrand website, it felt appropriate to begin with colors representing self-love and prioritizing relationships and partnerships that align with our purpose. This small bite episode is a Lesson in Luxury on color psychology and the meaning we assign to objects representing a specific hue. The Love and Relationship Collection is a captivating fusion of vibrant colors and the potent healing properties of gemstones. It's not just about the stones but your deliberate choice to harmonize with our inner and outer worlds. According to Feng Shui, the Bagua, an ancient energetic map, is divided into nine sections, each representing a specific aspect of life. The Love & Relationship Collection activates a Gua that influences self-love, relationships, and partnerships. You can enhance and manifest this energy by surrounding yourself with objects that symbolize love, happiness, and peace and adorning yourself in romantic colors that support this area of life.  Indulge in a consultation, acquire a powerful talisman, and pamper yourself with Luxuries for Your Soul. You deserve it. www.luxuriesforyoursoul.com Join our exclusive private Facebook Community for question prompts surrounding this episode and more behind-the-scenes conversations.

    Restoring Red Hill with Melissa Holgado

    Melissa Holgado joins Alexis and Lauren to share the renovation story about Red Hill, a historical federal-style plantation home with enslaved quarters built in 1825 in central Virginia on 40 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Melissa and her family dream of restoring Red Hill, transforming its somber energy into a place of dignity and respect, a respite from a busy life. But this is not your regular remodel: there was no running water, plumbing, or electricity, and it sat untouched for many years. It is a project of love. Melissa acknowledges the privilege of owning it and practices gratitude for its place in history. This conversation has many layers, making you think about all the details that make a house a home.  Links for Restoring Red Hill  www.youtube.com/@RestoringRedHill www.instagram.com/RestoringRedHill www.facebook.com/RestoringRedHill Join our Facebook Community for question prompts surrounding this episode and more behind-the-scenes conversations.  Join here: www.facebook.com/groups/917180976266918 Email us if you want to share a story, brand, or luxurious product with our listeners!
