Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina and her guest, Dorothy Rice, author of “Gray is the New Black” talk about accepting who you are in midlife and living with joy where you are at. It’s high time we learn to quit asking the questions about being thin enough, smart enough, pretty enough, whatever it is we struggle with and recognize that there is an army of voices from our past that keep us locked in bondage- it is time to call them out, let them go and forgive ourselves for those things we cannot change. Dorothy believes that the first step to being an open and loving person is to be open and loving with yourself. The journey of self-acceptance in the second half of life is key, unburdening ourselves so we can live a richer, more vibrant second half. Grab a cuppa something wonderful with a girlfriend and join in on this liberating conversation. http://www.feminineroadmap.com/episode109/
