136. Living Like There’s No Tomorrow with Nesha Pai

<p dir="ltr">How many times have you told yourself, “I’ll take that trip… I’ll write that book… I’ll do that thing… someday”? We all assume there’s more time. But what if there’s not?</p> <p dir="ltr">My guest today, Nesha Pai, knows this truth in her bones. After the sudden loss of her younger sister and her own breast cancer diagnosis, Nesha’s perspective on life shifted in a big way. She’s not waiting for the “right time” anymore. She's living fully, boldly, and right now. And she wants the same for you.</p> <p dir="ltr">Nesha is the founder of Pai CPA, a speaker, an author, and a woman who has built a beautiful, adventurous life on her own terms. From solo trips to Paris to growing a thriving business, she’s proof that you don’t need permission, or a partner, to live the life you dream of. Warning: Her story is going to light a fire in you to stop putting things off and start moving toward the life you really want.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Resources mentioned:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/dp/1953555748?ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_JVESH9JMS7SP06TAQVD8&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_JVESH9JMS7SP06TAQVD8&social_share=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_JVESH9JMS7SP06TAQVD8&skipTwisterOG=1"> Overcoming Ordinary Obstacles: Boldly Claiming the Facets of an Extraordinary Life by Nesha Pai</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.neshapai.com/">Visit Nesha’s website</a></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Some key takeaways from this episode include:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">There’s never a perfect time.

135. The Real Story Behind My New Condo | The Outside Doesn’t Tell the Story

<p dir="ltr">I’m getting real with you about a big life change: I’m buying a condo on my own. What should feel exciting has stirred up all kinds of unexpected emotions: comparison, judgment, and even a little anger. I’ve been wrestling with “what will people think?” and my personal comparison of how I pictured my life at 55, and how it actually looks.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode, I share the mindset shifts that are helping me find peace, gratitude, and even joy in my decision. If you’ve ever judged yourself, or your life, based on appearances, or compared your story to someone else’s, I think you’ll relate.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Some key takeaways from this episode include:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Don’t judge a book by its cover, especially your own life. The outside doesn’t always tell the truth about the beauty, peace, or joy inside—and yes, that includes condos with faded brown paint.<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Let go of the craving for how life “should” be. Clinging to that imagined version of your life is what makes you miserable, not the reality you’re living.<br /> <br /></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Gratitude changes everything. When you focus on what’s good right now and give yourself credit for making wise choices, the voice that worries about other people’s opinions gets a lot quieter.</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Wake Up to Your Life is an award-winning podcast hosted by Colleen Odegaard. On this show, you’ll hear from experts (and learn from my own hilarious stories) on how to rediscover yourself in a new season of life, no matter what that looks like for you. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Connect with Colleen: </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/colleen_odegaard/">Instagram</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.facebook.com/ColleenOdegaardWakeUpToYourLife/">Facebook</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@wakeuptoyourlifepodcast">YouTube</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p>

134. Aging Out Loud: Beauty, Power, and the Freedom to Be You with Sherri Lynch

<p dir="ltr">We live in a youth-obsessed culture—and the conversation about what it means to grow older, especially as a woman, is more important than ever. That’s why this week, I’m bringing back one of the most impactful interviews we’ve ever aired—with syndicated radio host, speaker, and author Sheri Lynch.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Sheri doesn’t just talk the talk. She stopped coloring her hair on purpose, speaks truthfully about aging in a world obsessed with 25-year-old bodies, and offers a radically freeing perspective on beauty, power, and growing into yourself.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">If you’ve been wrestling with the mirror, feeling invisible, or wondering how to age on your own terms—this episode is for you.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Follow Sheri Lynch on Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/sherilynch1/?hl=en">@sherilynch1</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Sheri's website: <a href= "http://www.bobandsheri.com">www.BobandSheri.com</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Some key takeaways from this episode include:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Aging with confidence begins in your mind. Letting go of negative self-talk and choosing radical acceptance can open up space for peace, joy, and authenticity.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">There’s freedom in redefining beauty on your own terms. Whether it’s gray hair, fashion choices, or Botox with boundaries, you get to decide what feels right for you.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Time is too precious to waste on self-hatred. Instead of chasing youth, channel your energy into the things that truly matter: self-love, connection, and purpose.</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Wake Up to Your Life is an award-winning podcast hosted by Colleen Odegaard.
