For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

I’m coming in hot, hot, hot today!!!

Today, we’re diving into the juicy topic of self-intimacy. We often think of intimacy with others, but what about intimacy with ourselves? What does that mean?!

Self-intimacy is a state of BEing, not doing! It's about having a deep and genuine connection with yourself, accepting who you are without judgment, and managing and expressing your emotions healthily. It's an ongoing journey of self-discovery and personal growth—a journey of having authority over your life, thoughts, emotions, and decisions!

Remember episode 59? I shared a new perspective on being alone—one that’s empowering and enjoyable. Even in the weirdness and discomfort of being in your own company, you can find FUN! Being present in your own company can be freeing and transform you into who you’re meant to be.

Why is that episode important? It sets the stage for mastering self-intimacy by showing you where you might resist being alone and offering you a perspective shift to see the opportunities your aloneness presents.

So, mastering self-intimacy...

You might still resist being alone, but you’re curious about what more it has to offer. You might doubt you could enjoy your aloneness beyond the surface level you’ve experienced so far. Or you might be afraid to get honest with yourself but have decided to journey towards becoming the lead authority in your own life!

When you grow in self-awareness, fear, doubt, and resistance don’t disappear. Mastering self-intimacy means seeing these feelings and yet choosing YOU [and your new identity] over and over. With this practice, over time, it becomes second nature. It’s who you ARE, how you naturally show up, who you BE!

Let’s talk about things that aren’t often discussed as it relates to the self-intimacy you hold for yourself!
LOVE THIS PODCAST? DON'T KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

Share it with the woman who knows she’s meant for more—and is ready to finally live it. The HER2.0LAB is where bold women rise. Together.

Send us a text Have you ever wondered why, despite all your hard work and effort, you still haven’t achieved the life you truly desire? Why, even after following the advice of those “massive action” gurus, you feel like you’re running in circles—never quite reaching that elusive goal? In this empowering episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on why the conventional wisdom of “go big or go home” might be holding you back, especially if you’re a woman over 40. It’s time to stop feeling like you’re not enough or that something is inherently wrong with you. The truth is, the struggle isn’t about your lack of effort—it’s about aligning your actions with the woman you want to become. We’ll explore why settling into your current circumstances or pushing yourself to the brink with massive action isn’t the answer. Instead, I’ll guide you through a transformative process of getting clear on your new identity, understanding your inner thoughts and emotions, and making the powerful decision to BE that woman—right now, without waiting for external validation. This episode is a game-changer. You’ll finally understand why all those years of struggle, self-doubt, and frustration haven’t led to the breakthroughs you’ve been yearning for. It’s not about doing more or working harder. So, tune in and let’s rewrite the narrative. It’s time to step into your power, embrace your new identity, and finally get what you’ve always wanted. Your journey to becoming the woman you’re destined to be starts here! LOVE THIS PODCAST? DON'T KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

Experiencing the Fun of Being In Your Own Company after 50! [Part I of II] 14:16

39 weeks ago14:16

14:16

Send us a text Today, we're diving into the unexpected joys of spending time alone. You might be thinking, "Linda… FUN being alone?! That sounds like a stretch." But hang with me! Before we uncover the fun, let's tackle some internal dialogues you might recognize: "I'm always alone; something must be wrong with me!" or "If only I was in a relationship, I wouldn't be lonely!" Often, we equate solitude with loneliness, but that's a perspective we're here to change. Choosing to spend time alone isn't about hiding away; it’s about embracing your individuality and prioritizing your well-being. Notice the word here—choosing! When you see aloneness as a choice, not a sentence to loneliness, the fun begins! Sure, loneliness might pop up, but you have the power to choose your reaction. Disconnect aloneness from loneliness and see it as a chance to focus on yourself, your desires, and your growth. This powerful shift in perspective opens the door to joy and adventure. Aloneness can be your chance to be the friend you need, to fill your life with adventure and fun. Today’s episode is all about embracing this new perspective. When you see aloneness not as something happening to you but for you, you become your own best friend, full of love and fun. Stay tuned for Part II next week, where we'll dive deeper into mastering the art of enjoying your own company! LOVE THIS PODCAST? DON'T KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

Send us a text Do you feel like your life isn’t fully your own? Are your desires dictated by others or external expectations? In this episode, we’ll explore how waiting for outside validation and seeking others' approval can consume your time and undermine your true desires. Societal expectations and past experiences might make you shy away from stating what you really want, leaving you feeling powerless or stuck. We’ll discuss how giving others authority over your desires and constantly justifying them can erode your confidence and self-worth. The journey to reclaiming your life starts with confidently stating your wants without justification. Practice recognizing when you seek approval and start stating your desires without explanations. Reinforce your desires by simply saying, "I want this because I want it." Embrace the hidden version of you, get to know and love your authentic self, and confidently want what you want.

Send us a text I know some of you are tuning in from England, Ireland, Italy, Australia, and beyond, but I promise today's chat will resonate with you no matter where you are! Here in the US, we just celebrated a weekend of FREEDOM! Almost 250 years ago, we declared independence from Great Britain, allowing us to live by our core values. Picture fireworks, boating, cookouts, and for me, a hike in the mountains. But above all, we honor our flag and the freedom it symbolizes. You might celebrate your country's freedom in different ways, but the essence is universal. However you celebrate independence in your country, here's where we come together. Although a blessing, Freedom isn't just a gift from soldiers or governments, nor is it something to feel just one weekend a year. There is something available to you and fun celebrating 365 days __ and that's INNER freedom! Inner freedom is just as important as national freedom—both emphasize independence and personal autonomy; the importance of living according to your values and pursuing happiness. Freedom is about making choices that align with your values and living your life fully. Capture the inner freedom available to you by being HER now! LOVE THIS PODCAST? DON'T KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

Dating After 50: Rising from Survival Mode! 21:16

Send us a text In this episode of Bro Convo , we dive into the world of dating after 50, especially after moving beyond survival mode. Many of us question if we are "enough" and feel scrutinized by others. We explore the deeper issues behind these doubts and how to overcome them. We'll discuss common dating patterns, from codependency and choosing unavailable partners to avoiding dating altogether, and how these habits stem from fears of intimacy and trust issues. We'll talk about the stages of survival mode—anxiety [fight or flight] and rest—and how to move to truly thriving in your dating life. Rebuilding trust and intimacy starts with prioritizing yourself and meeting your own needs. Self-love and self-validation are key—learn to enjoy your own company, honor your commitments, and validate your worth, shifting from a state of need to one of want in order to take the pressure off of the date. We'll also address the fear of not feeling safe, seen, or heard in relationships and how to overcome it. This fear often stems from survival mode, but with self-discovery, you can feel secure within yourself before seeking it in a partner. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
