Your Sasstastic Life Wendi & Tricia

Ever left a voicemail for your BFF singing tunes you made up or sent a text that had you both in stitches? That's the kind of fun we, Tricia and Wendi, bring to our podcast. Join us as we delve into the quirky side of life's communication and the profound journey of setting intentions for your personal growth. 

In this episode, we share the origin story of Muumus + Manifesting, our first small group party on April 17th, using the Qnity Life Map. This is one of the many Qnity tools that Tricia has used for her salon team for over a decade, and Wendi uses it with her coaching business. It's a hearty mix of laughter, real talk, and sparkling revelations, all served with a side of sass.

Buckle up as we rant about flying, Wendi's run-in with the law during a bathroom emergency, and our excitement for our women-centric small group events. It's more than laughs; it's a celebration of those small wins and the magic sprinkled in everyday life. 

Our 'Muumuus and Manifesting' event is just the start. We're planning more gatherings to foster deep connections in our community, providing a space for personal growth and shared experiences.

When the laughter of loved ones echoes in our memories, it's a treasure unlike any other. Dr. Amy Hughes joined us to share how she's ensuring those echoes never fade by capturing the essence of her patients through legacy videos. Her heartwarming stories remind us that joy and humor still have their place amidst the solemnity of life's final chapter.

Dr. Amy Hughes is a medical oncologist with Mission Cancer + Blood in Des Moines, IA. With 15 years of experience in oncology, she is deeply aware of the challenges a cancer diagnosis creates. She has dedicated her career to helping patients navigate these hurdles gracefully and empathetically. She was a Hospice volunteer for many years before her medical career and is also a certified death doula.

Dr. Hughes noticed that often, she was seeing patients facing the end of life with a great sense of anxiety and fear about leaving loved ones behind. This experience, in combination with her own personal losses, led her to found the 501c3 non-profit Amadora Legacy Project, with a mission to create lasting gifts of love by capturing the life stories on film of those with life-limiting illnesses. She feels passionate about normalizing the conversation around end-of-life, removing the stigma, and encouraging ALL people to be prepared because none of us know where life will take us.

Navigating the end-of-life journey requires a special kind of compassion, which our guest possesses in abundance. Her touching insights into guiding individuals and families through the transition of death evoke a profound respect for life's fragility. It's not just about confronting mortality; we're talking about embracing it, understanding the choices, and breaking down the stigmas that often shroud this most natural part of our existence.

Finally, our hearts are full of gratitude for the medical caregivers who sustain their empathy in the face of dwindling support. Dr. Hughes' narrative is a testament to the resilience and generosity of those who extend their care beyond the hospital walls, finding solace and purpose in non-profit endeavors. This episode illuminates the undeniable strength and spirit within the medical community and the profound messages of life's true value from those who witness its end.

Welcome to Your Sasstastic Life, a community for Gen X and Millennial women.  Join us for funny and emotion packed conversations that women over 40 are facing. We are here to navigate midlife with you, support and encourage you with empathy and humor. 

Strap on your roller skates and glide into a world of laughter, nostalgia, and the occasional stumble with us. As Wendi found herself rounding the bend of the big 5-0, she realized that life's shortness is not just a philosophical musing—it's a call to action. This episode is a mix of sass and sincerity, from the hilarity of mismatched shoes at the rollerskating rink to the profound moments of reflection on personal growth and the passage of time. Join us as we share stories about reclaiming joy in childhood pastimes and the unexpected life lessons discovered along the way.
 
Grief is a journey often walked in solitude, but in this conversation, we form a circle of support, sharing our strategies for coping and connecting to those we've lost. We discuss the quieter side of grief—when the initial chaos subsides, and the real work of healing begins. We also tackle the elephant in the room—social media—and its impact on our mental health during these times. No guests join us today; just raw, candid exchanges that celebrate the lives of our loved ones and explore the therapeutic acts of remembrance.
 
Feeling stuck can happen to anyone, but we've got your back with some simple yet effective tactics to kick those blues to the curb. We chat about the undeniable power of movement, the clarity of setting realistic goals, and the comfort found in community support. This episode is for anyone looking for inspiration to rediscover their authentic selves and push through the funk. So, let this be your invitation to take that small step, whether it's a coffee with a friend or just enjoying the freedom of rolling to the beat, and join us on this invigorating ride through life's ups and downs.

Welcome to Your Sasstastic Life, a community for Gen X and Millennial women.  Join us for funny and emotion packed conversations that women over 40 are facing. We are here to navigate midlife with you, support and encourage you with empathy and humor.

David Allen Tracy is a serial entrepreneur and an award-winning marketing and advertising strategist with a global client base. His specialty is curating effective, in-depth marketing campaigns bridging international and cultural gaps. As a personal brand coach, he’s coached hundreds of clients, from models and entertainers to keynote speakers, authors, realtors, entrepreneurs, and influencers, all on their journey to developing powerful personal brands, whether that be brand assessment and strategy, storytelling, online presence, image and appearance, communication skills, networking and relationship building, career advancement, personal development and more.

David's storytelling brings a childhood steeped in cultural richness and adventure to life. Through the kaleidoscope of David's life, we traverse themes that strike a chord with us all – family, health, and the impact we leave on the world. Our conversation weaves through the adaptability of children in globetrotting families, the importance of stability, and the transformative power of personal challenges like overcoming cancer. David's pivot to entrepreneurship, imbued with a philanthropic spirit, sheds light on the potential of businesses to create wealth and make a lasting social contribution. His insights on cultural shock and responsibility upon returning to the US are a profound reminder of the abundance and safety we often take for granted.

Concluding our exploration, we delve into the essence of deep, authentic connections – the cornerstone of personal and professional growth. David opens up about the rarity of relationships that foster complete honesty, the healing power of therapy, and the importance of addressing trauma for societal progress.  We're reminded of the significance of investing in ourselves and cherishing the moments with our loved ones. Join us for a dialogue that is as enriching as it is enlightening, filled with powerful stories that inspire a life lived passionately and present with those we hold dear.
