  • Wow, what an uplifting experience!

    I’ve been interviewed on a number of great podcasts. But I have rarely encountered an interviewer who brought as much joy, curiosity, professionalism and positive vibes as Ande.

    I felt like I was having a heart-to-heart conversation with a dear friend. Ande’s questions were inspiring and her passion for the subject matter was so evident in every word she spoke.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 98 How to Be Sassy and Successful After 60
Q: What makes your approach different from traditional pathways for older women re-entering work or starting businesses?
Rather than pushing back into the workplace as before, I help women leverage their existing skills and experiences to create diverse paths (craft businesses, coaching, freelancing), emphasizing personal branding, confidence, and practical steps like solo travel or public speaking to demonstrate value.
EP 98 How to Be Sassy and Successful After 60
Q: How do you help women dissolve age-related expectations and stereotypes?
I start with broad awareness-raising through content and then work with women directly in a flexible, individualized program that blends online modules with live coaching sessions, focusing on confidence, skills, and stepping into new opportunities without conforming to stereotypes.
EP 76 Stepping Into the Spotlight After 65
Q: What would you say to someone who believes it's too late to pursue their passions and step into the spotlight?
The guest encourages listeners to reframe aging as an opportunity, not a barrier, highlighting that many people can still build presence and influence later in life, and that taking small, consistent steps—like practicing on camera or speaking publicly in safe settings—can lead to meaningful transformation.
EP 76 Stepping Into the Spotlight After 65
Q: So Linda, what sparked your transition from dance movement therapy to focusing on helping individuals overcome their fear of public speaking?
Linda explains that after leaving clinical work she felt a pull toward helping everyday people, but initially struggled with what to do and how to monetize her skills; over time she blended her movement-based approach with coaching, EFT, and somatic practices to guide others from fear to confident expression.
EP 79 Conscious Dying and Personalized End-of-Life Care
Q: What does the role of a conscious dying coach actually involve on a practical level?
The role includes facilitating conversations, creating directives and legacy projects, designing peaceful environments, and coordinating with families, doctors, and attorneys to support a long goodbye.
