Where We're At - A Roadmap for Life in the Middle

About Where We're At - A Roadmap for Life in the Middle

Where We’re At looks at life now and where we want to go with humorous, connection filled conversations, around key actionable steps to put in place in your 50’s and 60’s to create the life we all want. Let's dive deep outside our comfort zones as we navigate this second half of life with meaning, fun (laughter) and a solid dose of reality, as we take stock of the liminal space that appears in our fifties. The show is hosted by Lana Ogilvie and Rebecca Rankin who have a combined five decades of expertise in media, fashion, parenting, entertainment, beauty, wellness, social work and social justice. The pair use their own journeys, experiences, and what they learn from experts and friends, as a vehicle to explore a range of topics that crop-up or need to be reevaluated in mid-life. The series is designed as a road-map, with key takeaways in every episode to navigate stops along the way, from relationships, to finances, to physical and mental health, to caring for adult children and parents, to the fun stuff like sex and the importance of incorporating ‘shots of awe’ into your life.

   Art of Joyful Living with Aurélie Harp

   It’s a crazy world but we’re all living in it and making time for play has never been so important to our well being as it is in these middle years. Land and Rebecca talk to Aurélie Harp, founder of Humanity Play, and discuss the importance of incorporating play into life. Aurélie shares her journey of starting her coaching and consulting company and how she observed division and labels in society. She emphasizes the power of play in bringing joy and reclaiming agency in life. She encourages individuals to step out of societal expectations and explore the possibilities. Aurélie also highlights the transformative nature of play and the benefits it brings to adulthood and discusses cultural differences in play and lifestyle. In this conversation, Aurélie Harp addresses the relationship between productivity and joy and explains that while productivity can be efficient and even joyful to a certain extent, there comes a point when it becomes exhausting and prevents us from being present in the moment. Aurélie emphasizes the importance of breaking the rule of constant productivity and finding moments of relaxation and playfulness. She also highlights the value of building relationships and exploring different roles and identities. Aurélie encourages listeners to expand their definition of play and find joy in the messy middle of life. She suggests incorporating playfulness into everyday routines and creating meaningful connections with others. KEY POINTS Incorporating play into life, especially in middle age, is essential for bringing joy and reclaiming agency. Stepping out of societal expectations and exploring possibilities can lead to a more fulfilling life. Play has transformative power and can improve creativity, boost self-confidence, and relieve stress. Cultural differences in play and lifestyle offer valuable insights and opportunities for learning. Breaking the rule of constant productivity and finding moments of relaxation and playfulness is essential for our well-being. Expanding the definition of play allows us to find joy in unexpected activities and experiences. Creating meaningful connections with others and embracing love as a response to life's challenges can bring us joy and fulfillment.

   Burn Your Shit with Tarot Lori

   We all would like to look into the future and know if we’ll win the lotto or meet that tall, dark stranger. But let's face it, a Ouiji board won’t cut it past middle school. We can't  know definitively what the future holds, but we do know someone who can help us shed some light on the path ahead. This week Rebecca and Lana consult with Tarot Lori to understand how tarot can be used as a tool for empowerment, self-discovery and personal growth. Lori Dyan, AKA Tarot Lori, has been reading tarot for over thirty years. She has an international clientele—from CEOs, to celebrities to CIA operatives—and a dedicated Instagram following. Despite being mentored by a actual crystal-ball-gazing witch, Lori is not your average tarot card reader. Her tagline, “Woo Woo Without the Cuckoo,” reflects her modern and accessible style of tarot. Because Lori is a member of the Peguis band (from Cree and Ojibwe descent), her lineage is woven throughout her work—it is the source of her magic. As well as offering online readings and workshops worldwide, Lori is a popular media guest, keynote speaker and event entertainer. Her new book,  ‘Burn Your Shit - The Life Changing Magic of Rituals (https://www.amazon.com/Burn-Your-Sh-Life-Changing-Rituals/dp/1443471550/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1705978935&sr=8-1)’, will be available this May from Harper Collins.

    Join Lana & Rebecca as they embrace their queen time with Health Coach, Galadriel Masterson. We do some heavy lifting and get into what we need to be doing to fuel our bodies during peri-menopause and menopause and how to lose that meno-muffin, without trying to losing weight. Galadriel Masterson took her passion about the effects of food on the science of our bodies and got certified as Health Coach and has helped hundreds of people change their relationship to sugar and flour in her Break Up with Sugar group programs. While no longer coaching, G continues her obsession with learning everything she can about peri-menopause and menopause to empower her friends.  She has spent the last 3 decades on fashion photoshoots as a wardrobe stylist. This week she shares 5 things every woman over 50 should be doing to still recognize themselves during this mid life change.
