A few months back I came across a series of articles talking about the differences between what men and women want in relationships later in life. Women are apparently less likely to want to get married or cohabitate and for men it’s the opposite. It peaked my interest and I wondered why, and what that meant for relationships as we age.

So this week on the podcast my guest Barb Beck, an expert relationship and life coach, and I dive into why women are choosing unconventional relationships dynamics. There are lots of great reasons for “together but apart” relationships and also a number of considerations. No matter where you are in your relationship status this conversation shares some great relationship insights for all of us.

Todays episode is a truly inspiring conversation about conquering seemingly impossible physical challenges no matter how hold you are.

My guest is Dierdre Wolownick, a accomplished musician, linguist, inspirational speaker and author, who also happens to the be mother of Alex Honold, featured in the documentary Free Solo for his death defying rock climbing without using ropes. Dierdre started running marathons at 55, started rock climbing at 58 and at the age of 66 conquered the 3,000-foot-high rock face, El Capitan, in Yosemite National park. Not only did she accomplish this incredible feat she did it in record time.

Dierdre and I chat about her climbing journey and what it takes mentality and physically to accomplish such an incredible physical challenge. We discuss the role of courage, not being afraid to learn, how to manage the unknown an so much more. What I loved bout this conversation is that the tips and strategies that Dierdre shares are so relevant and applicable to just about any ‘out of your comfort zone’ pursuit.

I don’t see scaling rock faces anywhere in my near future but I walked away from this conversation with so many great insights and lessons that I will be applying to many things in my own life. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much I did.

This is such an inspiring episode. I’ve listened to it a few times. Diane is a true legend who is paving the way for all of us in taking bold action towards the life we want.

I'm a writer and humorist. I'm 73, and am amazed and relieved, to find life is just as exciting as ever! I've published three books. Two on surviving Paris solo. The third is "Baby, I'm the Boss of Me My Journey to Ageless". I have lived all over, ever since childhood, and as a result, I consider myself an amateur sociologist! I'm a yogini, a mother, and a photographer. I recently challenged myself to start modeling, which is something I wanted to do as a teenager. It's turning into a stimulating and scary journey. I'm definitely way outside my comfort zone,but am reminded that I talk about personal bravery constantly...so here is my opportunity to put my money where my mouth is! https://www.youtube.com/c/ruthyunker https://www.ruthyunker.com https://www.instagram.com/ruth.yunker/ http://www.amazon.com/ruthyunker/babyimthebossofme

Transitioning to entrepreneurship in midlife can be challenging.   It's a daring decision to step outside your comfort zone and leave behind the stability of a well-established career or a settled routine.
