In today's episode I am so thrilled to share the heartwarming and inspiring conversation I had with my dear friend Ivy Austin. Ivy's journey is nothing short of a testament to the resilience and transformative power of stepping outside your comfort zone. A former Broadway performer, Ivy reinvented her life in her late fifties to become a licensed marriage and family therapist. We dive deep into her remarkable story of returning to school, creating a new career, and how she now merges her deep love for the arts into her therapeutic practice. Her unique perspective as a performer and therapist offers a treasure trove of insights, especially for those in the theater industry.
As we rekindle old memories and share laughter, Ivy opens up about her personal spark-igniting activities and her passion for helping others find their own light. From her childhood dreams of Broadway to her current work with young artists at the Manhattan School of Music, Ivy's journey is filled with inspiring lessons on embracing discomfort, saying yes to new opportunities, and finding joy in unexpected places.
Together, we hope to motivate you to step outside your comfort zone, pursue your passions, and achieve personal growth at any stage in life. And remember, for those looking to reignite their spark, there is a special discount on my program "How to Ignite Your Spark for Women in Midlife and Beyond." [CLICK FOR COURSE]
Join us as we encourage you to find your light, be happy, and pursue your dreams.
