Interviews With Extraordinary Women

27 05 2012

What you’ll find here besides snippets and soundbytes of my life as a writer and publisher: interviews (including radio podcasts) with some of the extraordinary women with whom I’ve come into contact; women who dare to embody their vision, have changed their lives or the lives of others, and are making a difference in the world. To visit my primary online home, go to Embody Your Vision.

To interact directly with me, go to my Interviews With Extraordinary Women Facebook fan page. All you need do is become a fan. I’m online there regularly.

“Do you have a personal brand? I’ll tell you mine: shift, change, and ultimately TRANSFORMATION. Whatever your age, it’s never too late to shake off negative self-talk and live your life with intent.” –Nadia Giordana





Barb Greenberg on life after divorce

28 05 2012

Author Barb Greenberg

Several years ago, baby boomer Barb Greenberg suddenly found herself divorced and alone after thirty-three years of

After the Ball

marriage. She worked through her pain, found healing and wholeness and eventually found a way to share what she had learned with other women in similar situations. She and I had a conversation recently about how she rebuilt her life and how her process paralleled the principles in my upcoming book, Reinventing New Chapters in Your Life at any Age: 7 Steps to Making it Happen. This is how our conversation went: (To read this article, click here.)





Kathi Holmes overcame paralysis and began a bright new chapter in her life

28 05 2012

Author, Kathryn Mayleen Holmes

Kathryn Mayleen Holmes’ resilient spirit gave her the courage to conquer  challenges few of us ever endure. She came out on the other side of the rainbow  with renewed faith and a surprising new chapter in her life as an author. I had  the pleasure of hearing Kathi’s story in person. This is what she shared about  her ordeal:

Nadia: Kathi, You’ve been through something few people will  ever have to face. I’d like you to tell us what happened, and how you went from  being paralyzed to walking again. I’d like to hear how you changed your  situation as it relates to the seven principles we’re talking about in my  upcoming book, Reinventing  New Chapters in Your Life at any Age:7 Steps to Making it Happen. #1) Reshaping a healthier body and attitude.  Kathi, what do you think were the catalysts that gave you the mental and  emotional strength to believe you could walk again?

Multi-talented baby boomer, Sid Korpi

Sid Korpi, film and stage actress, social dance instructor, and pet chaplain, is far too talented and accomplished for this author to take credit for anything more than being an inspiration and catalyst for her recent weight loss, something she’d wanted to do for a long time. That’s good enough for me. Already athletic, fit, and beautiful, Sid became inspired after reading Thinking Skinnyand decided to get healthier still. Losing those extra pounds gave her the edge she needed to pursue a film career with creative Minneapolis filmmaker, Christopher R. Mihm. I might also add that the same is true of the content in this article. Other than my questions, the words are Sid’s, and I would be remiss if I didn’t credit her as being co-author of this article. She is, in addition to the talents listed above, a gifted author and editor. I recently had a private interview with Sid, and this is how it went: Continue reading on Examiner.com

Baby boomers warming up for ‘second youth’

15 07 2011

In case you didn’t know, our parent website is of particular interest to baby boomers and women in mid-life transition. If you are in that demographic, or love someone who is, stop over and pay us a visit at Embody Your Vision. It’s all about re-inventing new chapters in your life whatever your age.

We’re helping talented women get their stories into audio, video or print interviews, and we share these stories in order to help others find the inspiration they need to resurrect their sidelined dreams, because “some day” is here, and it’s time for us to DO the things we always said we were going to do.
