I don't remember the last time...

… I was interviewed for a podcast. (A side note: I would LOVE to do more of this… so if you know anyone looking for guests, please let me know.)

Brandi and I have been connected for a long time so it made this interview feel like two good friends getting together for coffee (or a Hello Kitty bottle full of water as was my case). And when I say a long time, I mean a long time… like well over the 15 year mark.

We were both part of the early blogging community (and I miss those days, for sure).

Brandi is starting this podcast specifically to talk to other women about being artists/creators in mid life. I was 100% on board the second she said that.

You can find more about her and her own art on her website.

And here’s our time together. Remember that you can speed up playback so you cut the time down quite a bit.

A little teaser:

The Re/Joy Project: Podcast

I want to start a podcast within the next two months so that it’s solidly up and running by the early fall. And I need to know WHO WANTS TO BE ON IT!

The concept centers on what I’ve been calling, for some time, The Re/Joy Project, which is multifaceted but includes the idea of changing our lives for the better after… a certain age. ((ha))

Like the whole midlife excitement thing. Like the fact that I returned to dance at 40 and completely changed my entire life.

I know there are so many of you out there who have done or are doing similar things.

I think it all stems from the fact that only at a certain age can you really and truly feel your mortality and thus feel the importance of living from a place of joy, which includes risk and adventure and leaping and rediscovering and uncovering and remapping and on and on!

I want to talk to women and nonbinary folks about this. So if you are someone who would be interested or you know someone you think would be perfect, respond to this (if you’ve gotten this in your email) or get in touch with me via Facebook.
