Hi! I’m a post midlife creative professional woman who lives in Hawaii and loooove your emails and website. I’m in my Third Act as Jane Fonda discusses in her excellent TedTalk. I went to listen in on Robi Ludwig’s “Busting Midlife Myths” and the volume was so low I couldn’t hear a thing, even with a small bose speaker attached to my laptop. If there’s a way you could increase the volume so it’s more audible, that would be so very welcome and wonderful! Or, if there could be a written transcript of her talk. Though I can’t attend the Renewal Summit, I can feel the JUICE AND JOY of it through the airwaves! Thank you for all the INSPIRATION! May it ripple out to all who need to hear this.
Hi Jade, thank you for the lovely comments. You made our day. We just re-loaded the Dr. Robi Ludwig episode which is fabulous. Here is the link.
