Answering the Call to Greatness (2 minute read)

Dear Live Out Loud Sisters,

This past weekend, I found myself immersed in the remarkable journeys of two incredible sister friends, each with their own story of resilience, courage, and unwavering determination.

One of these remarkable women, a skilled worker with degrees in education and architecture, came to America chasing the elusive American dream. But what she found was a journey fraught with challenges and setbacks. Battling sickness and facing language barriers, she was often overlooked and underestimated by those around her. But when I met her, I saw her true greatness shining through. Despite the hardships she endured, her spirit remained unbroken, radiating strength and determination with every word she spoke.

Last year, she faced a near-fatal heart attack that served as a wake-up call to reclaim her life and live it boldly. And that's where our paths intersected. Together, we embarked on a journey of empowerment and transformation, as I showed her that dreams are not just meant to be chased but to be realized. This past week, we spent precious moments together, laughing, planning, and embracing the promise of a brighter future. Her act of kindness in fixing my bathroom pipes not only restored water flow but also symbolized the flow of abundance and blessings that comes from helping others.

And then there's my dear sister friend who faced surgery this past week. Standing by her side, I witnessed firsthand the power of love and support in times of need. In our shared tears and shared laughter, we discovered the profound truth that helping others is not just a selfless act but a source of profound fulfillment and joy.

So, my beloved sisters, as we navigate the twists and turns of life's journey, let us never forget the power we hold within to uplift and support one another. In living, loving, and laughing out loud, we not only enrich the lives of those around us but also enrich our own souls.

With boundless love and gratitude,

Mechel

Navigating the Mid-life Career Shift: Why Women in their 40’s and 50’s Are Reimagining their Professional Paths. (3-minute read)

Hey there, fellow trailblazers,

In the latest edition of our Success Marathon series, we're delving into a topic that's been quietly reshaping the professional landscape: the increasing departure of women in their 40s and 50s from traditional career paths.

As we gear up for this enlightening discussion, it's crucial to recognize the pivotal questions it raises about gender equality, workplace dynamics, and the often overlooked impact of menopause on women's careers.

According to recent findings from S&P Global, we're witnessing a notable decline in the number of women holding C-Suite positions—a trend that's caught many by surprise. But here's the kicker: this shift isn't an isolated anomaly. Over the past decade, more and more women in their prime years of experience are bidding farewell to their corporate roles.

Behind this silent exodus lies a complex tapestry of factors, from biological changes to socio-economic pressures. It's a narrative that demands our attention and prompts us to explore multifaceted solutions—from both corporate and societal perspectives.

What makes this trend all the more poignant is its timing. While many men are hitting career peaks, embracing early retirement, and leading the charge in boardrooms, women in their 40s and 50s find themselves at a crossroads. These are women with decades of invaluable experience, often having meticulously rebuilt their careers post-childbirth, and possessing just as much potential to drive companies forward as their male counterparts.

Yet, the harsh reality is that biological disparities between men and women play a significant role in this divergence of experiences. And frankly, we're not talking about it enough.

Let's shine a light on menopause—a natural phase that's been relegated to the shadows of workplace discourse. As women traverse their 40s and 50s, they grapple with a myriad of physical and emotional symptoms, from hot flushes to brain fog. These symptoms can wreak havoc on their professional lives, leading to increased absenteeism, diminished productivity, and, in some cases, career exits.

But here's the kicker: despite its prevalence, most workplaces lack the infrastructure to support women through this transition. Shockingly, only a fraction of organizations have formal menopause policies in place, leaving women to navigate this uncharted territory solo.

But fear not—there's hope on the horizon. Companies like Elvie, FlashPack, Ki, and TUI are leading the charge by offering comprehensive menopause support to their employees. From flexible work arrangements to access to counseling, these initiatives are paving the way for a more inclusive and supportive work environment.

And let's not forget the broader battle against gender inequality in the workplace. From transparent hiring practices to equal pay initiatives, the onus is on companies to dismantle systemic barriers and foster environments where women can thrive—at every stage of their careers.

So, fellow champions of change, let's keep the conversation alive. Let's amplify the voices of women in their 40s and 50s, championing their experiences and advocating for a future where gender equality isn't just a buzzword—it's a reality.

Together, we can rewrite the narrative of midlife career transitions and pave the way for a more inclusive, equitable, and empowering professional landscape.

Here's to living out loud and rewriting the rules of success, one step at a time.

Keep shining, [Your Name]

Self Care: Alkaline Asthma Soother: Natural Remedy for Respiratory Relief  (4 minute read)

Click Here to book your FREE 30 minute coaching session learn more about how I can support you on your path to well-being.

Ingredients:

1. Green Tea: 1 bag or 1 teaspoon loose green tea leaves

2. Honey: 1 tablespoon (optional, for taste)

3. Lemon: Juice of half a lemon

4. Baking Soda: 1/4 teaspoon

5. Warm Water: 1 cup

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Benefits:

• Green Tea: Contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that may help alleviate asthma symptoms and support respiratory health.

• Honey: Provides soothing relief for the throat and adds a touch of sweetness to the blend. It also possesses antimicrobial properties.

• Lemon: Rich in vitamin C, which may help reduce asthma symptoms and improve lung function.

• Baking Soda: Alkaline in nature, it may help balance the body's pH levels and reduce acidity, potentially easing respiratory discomfort.

Possible Side Effects:

While generally safe for most people, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as stomach upset or allergic reactions. If you have concerns or experience adverse effects, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional.

Instructions:

1. Steep the green tea bag or loose green tea leaves in warm water for 3-5 minutes.

2. Remove the tea bag or strain the tea leaves.

3. Stir in honey to taste, if desired.

4. Add the lemon juice and baking soda to the tea.

5. Mix well until the baking soda is dissolved.

6. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before consuming.

Frequency:

This alkaline asthma soother can be consumed up to 2-3 times per day, or as needed, to help alleviate asthma symptoms and promote respiratory comfort. It's essential to listen to your body and adjust the frequency based on your individual response.

Nature of Concoction:

While the above recipe is referred to as a "tea," it's important to note that it's not a traditional tea in the sense of steeping tea leaves. Instead, it's a warm beverage infused with herbal ingredients known for their potential respiratory benefits. You can think of it as a soothing drink designed to complement your asthma management plan.

As always, consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating any new remedies or making significant changes to your asthma treatment regimen.

Breathing Exercise:

Alongside this natural remedy, incorporate deep breathing exercises into your daily routine to enhance lung function and promote relaxation. Here's a simple technique to try:

1. Find a comfortable seated position with your back straight and your feet flat on the floor.

2. Place one hand on your abdomen and the other on your chest.

3. Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose, allowing your abdomen to rise as you fill your lungs with air. Feel your diaphragm expand.

4. Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth, contracting your abdominal muscles to expel the air. Feel your abdomen fall.

5. Continue this rhythmic breathing pattern for 5-10 minutes, focusing on the sensation of your breath entering and leaving your body.

Incorporate this breathing exercise into your daily routine, practicing it whenever you feel the need to relax or alleviate asthma symptoms.

Note: This natural remedy and breathing exercise are intended to complement conventional asthma treatment and should not be used as a substitute for medical advice or prescribed medications. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your asthma management plan.

Unlocking Inner-Peace: The Power of Binaural Beats (3.5 minute Read)

Click Here to…Join the waiting list for our upcoming manifestation binaural beats!

In our fast-paced world, finding moments of peace and tranquility can feel like an elusive dream. However, there's a powerful tool that's been gaining attention for its ability to help us tap into a state of calm and relaxation: binaural beats.

But what exactly are binaural beats, and how can they benefit you?

At its core, binaural beats are a form of auditory illusion created when two slightly different frequencies are played separately into each ear. These subtle differences in frequencies trigger the brain to perceive a third tone, known as the binaural beat, which corresponds to the mathematical difference between the two original frequencies.

Now, let's break down the brainwave patterns associated with different states of consciousness, and how binaural beats can help us achieve them:

Delta Waves (0.5-4 Hz): Delta waves are associated with deep sleep and the unconscious mind. Listening to binaural beats in the delta frequency range can help promote restorative sleep, enhance rejuvenation, and facilitate deep meditation sessions.

Theta Waves (4-8 Hz): Theta waves are linked to deep relaxation, creativity, and intuition. By listening to binaural beats in the theta frequency range, you can access a state of profound relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance your ability to tap into your subconscious mind.

Alpha Waves (8-14 Hz): Alpha waves are associated with a relaxed and calm state of mind, often experienced during meditation and light relaxation. Binaural beats in the alpha frequency range can help induce a state of tranquility, improve focus and concentration, and enhance creativity.

Beta Waves (14-30 Hz): Beta waves are present when we are awake and alert, engaged in focused attention and cognitive tasks. Binaural beats in the beta frequency range can help sharpen mental clarity, increase energy levels, and promote a sense of motivation and productivity.

Gamma Waves (30-100 Hz): Gamma waves are associated with heightened perception, peak performance, and expanded consciousness. Listening to binaural beats in the gamma frequency range can enhance cognitive function, boost mood, and promote feelings of interconnectedness and spiritual awakening.

Manifestation and Binaural Beats: Beyond stress reduction and relaxation, many people also use binaural beats as a tool for manifestation. By aligning your brainwaves with specific frequencies associated with abundance, creativity, and positivity, you can enhance your ability to attract your desires and manifest your goals. Whether you're visualizing your dream career, envisioning loving relationships, or manifesting financial abundance, incorporating binaural beats into your manifestation practice can amplify your intentions and bring them into alignment with the universe's energetic flow. By combining the power of intention with the resonance of binaural beats, you can accelerate the manifestation process and bring your dreams to fruition more effortlessly. So, the next time you set out to manifest your desires, consider adding binaural beats to your toolkit and watch as the universe conspires to support your intentions.

So how can binaural beats specifically benefit women?

For starters, binaural beats offer a natural and non-invasive way to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. Whether you're juggling a busy career, managing family responsibilities, or simply seeking moments of self-care, incorporating binaural beats into your daily routine can provide a much-needed respite from the chaos of everyday life.

Furthermore, binaural beats can be a valuable tool for meditation and mindfulness practices, helping women cultivate inner peace, clarity, and self-awareness. By tuning into the frequencies that resonate with your desired state of consciousness, you can deepen your meditation practice, quiet the mind, and connect with your inner wisdom.

Additionally, binaural beats can aid in improving sleep quality, which is crucial for women's overall health and well-being. Whether you're struggling with insomnia, experiencing restless nights due to stress or anxiety, or simply looking to enhance the quality of your sleep, incorporating delta and theta frequency binaural beats into your bedtime routine can promote relaxation and facilitate a deeper, more restorative sleep.

In summary, binaural beats offer a powerful yet accessible tool for women to reduce stress, enhance meditation, improve sleep, and cultivate inner peace. By harnessing the innate power of sound and frequency, we can tap into our natural state of balance and harmony, empowering us to live our lives with greater ease, joy, and fulfillment.

So why not give binaural beats a try? Plug in your headphones, press play, and let the soothing sounds guide you on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Plus, stay tuned for our upcoming manifestation binaural beats, designed to amplify your intentions and accelerate your manifestation practice.

The Passion Journal (2 minute read)

Click Here to Order Your Passion Journal

I'm Mechel Miller—warrior, dreamer, and the driving force behind the magic you're about to unfold. Welcome to the heartbeat of transformation—the "Passion Journal," your sacred companion for the next 90 days. This journal is more than just pages; it's a reflection of my journey—a journey from the ashes of adversity to the creation of a sanctuary where women like you can discover their power.

About Mechel Miller:

I am the creator of the Live Out Loud Membership Global Community—a vibrant connection of women aged 38-60 from all walks of life. My story took a turn when, at the prime of my life, I faced a near-death experience that crippled me for two years. In the wake of meningitis, I found myself, an accomplished dancer, educator, mother, spouse, mentor, and entrepreneur, unable to do anything for myself. To the world, I was successful, but to myself, I felt like a pitiful waste.

A Catalyst for Change:

In those moments of reflection during my road to recovery, I realized that the life I had been living wasn't truly mine. I had spent the majority of my life proving to everyone that I was generous, giving, and hardworking—yet, I wasn't fulfilled. That realization sparked a revolutionary decision: I was going to "Live Out Loud," no matter what anyone thought of me.

Creating the Live Out Loud (Vibrational) Sisterhood:

Amidst doubters who said I would never walk, dance, or work again, I persevered. I devoured self-help books, sought counsel, and traveled in search of an escape from my reality. It wasn't until I made up my mind to live on my terms that things changed. From the Live Out Loud Methodology, the Vibrational Sisterhood emerged—a community where women like you could share dreams, conquer challenges, and celebrate victories.

The Birth of the "Passion Journal":

With the sisterhood thriving and ShEvolution shaping lives, the need for a companion, a guide to capture the essence of personal transformation, became clear. Enter the "Passion Journal"—your 90-day roadmap to navigate the highs and lows, triumphs, and breakthroughs. It's more than a journal; it's your personal narrative, the stepping stones toward your transformative journey.

Your Transformative Journey:

Now, this "Passion Journal" is your canvas, an extension of my mission—to create a safe space where your journey of empowerment takes flight. Each page is an invitation to embrace your dreams, conquer challenges, and celebrate victories. Consider this journal your companion, your friend, and a piece of the community I've poured my heart into.

Your Story Unfolds:

You've likely faced challenges, maybe even tried everything with no success. That's why I developed the “Live Out Loud” methodology—to help you go from failure to triumph. To help you vibrate at such a high frequency that you attract the things you want in your life.
