Chances are that you don’t remember your first birthday.  That special milestone when everyone around you were so excited just because you existed.

As the decades passed by, each one signified a special milestone.  In your 20s you were probably happy to leave your teenage life and enter adulthood.  In your 30s and 40s, career and family took center stage.

By the time you reach your 50s, 60s 70s and beyond, your milestones take on a totally different meaning.  The Cup of Glo Podcast honors women aged 50 and older by using the reference Milestone Divas.  Not solely because of a number, but because Milestone Divas love life and strive to live their lives out loud, every day!

Today somewhere and everywhere, there are Milestone Divas having birthdays.  For those ladies who have already embraced their Milestone Diva status, today’s discussion is a gentle reminder for you.  For those of you with some hesitation, know this, none of us can put time on hold or turn back the clock, we will continue to age, so we might as well have fun doing it.

Subscribe: RSS | More

We are honored to have Priscilla Jean-Louis as our guest today.  Priscilla is the creator and host of the podcast, My Favorite Girl Caregiver Corner, which provides information and encouragement for caregivers.  Priscilla’s activities in caregiving included overlapping responsibilities for her mother and grandmother.

Priscilla Jean-Louis is an ambassador of servant leadership, a nationally sought- after graphic designer, and an inspirational podcaster for family caregivers.

She works full-time as an Investigator-Auditor with Disability Rights Florida.

As the owner, CEO and lead graphic designer of K &D Kreative Designs & Marketing Solutions, she specializes in Graphic Design, Web Design, Video Production, and Social Media Marketing & Management. Priscilla’s professional expertise is enhanced with over 25 years of administrative, hospitality, and marketing management experience accumulated while serving in ministerial leadership.

In 2017, she became the primary caregiver for her 80 -year-old mother who lives with Alzheimer’s dementia. Subsequently in April 2018, she also took on caring for her 98-year-old grandmother who succumbed to the disease on January 29, 2022. Priscilla is a relentless advocate for those who suffer from dementia and Alzheimer’s and provides empathetic inspiration for their caregivers. Her response to God’s mandate to make MINISTRY out of the MOMENTS was an emphatic “YES!”; and as a result, Priscilla took those ministry moments and created the social media platform, My Favorite Girl & Alzheimer’s (#MyFavoriteGirl), to chronicle their journey authentically, creatively, and humorously towards healing.

Priscilla currently resides in Tallahassee, Florida. In her free time, she enjoys reading, journaling, and spending time with her two beautiful daughters Destiny & Kaylin.

Household budgets are strained and giving is more difficult than ever. Everyone is working with reduced resources and most of us feel as though we don’t have enough to enjoy our own lives. The idea of giving may seem unreasonable. But maybe now, more than ever, is the best time to give. There is a power in giving.

You might dream of traveling, playing golf, or spending time with the grandchildren when you retire. You’re probably not dreaming about paying on your debt. Ideally, none of us would be worried about debt in our later years. The reality is that half of us will have debt in our retirement years.

Your scheduled retirement day has arrived.  You are free to live your life full out NOW.  Yes, it’s great to look forward to new adventures, to claim your bucket list items, or to simply exhale reveling in the ability to do nothing at all.

About a week before my last day at work, I was greeted with a surprise red carpet reception.  My co-workers really laid it on.  The carpet ran from the entrance to my suite of offices to my office door.  There were balloons all around.  I was presented with a tiara on pillow and a pageant-like sash, that read, “I’m Retired”.  Wow!  As if that wasn’t enough, my office was decorated with more balloons, streamers and other congratulatory items for a retiree.  What a wonderful way to start the day!

Episode 117 Embrace Your Milestones

Your milestones are significant events in your life.  What is the most significant milestone for you? Milestones can be the beginning of something new or the ending of something accomplished.

On the Cup of Glo Podcast we celebrate women age 50 and older with a focus on happiness.  We take it a step further by honoring the beginning of each decade from age 50 to 100 and we’re proud of each decade.

How do you feel about someday turning fifty, sixty, seventy, or eighty? Perhaps you struggle to imagine yourself growing older. Maybe you’re not looking forward to your golden years. Aging, for many, includes becoming inactive and experiencing failing health. However, you can retain your vigor and enjoy a positive existence, if you wish.

To keep things upbeat we’ve categorized each decade between 50 and 100 with cute tags that are fun and easy to remember.

The Feisty 50s Milestone Diva is full of energy, confident, playful and ready for any adventure!

The Sassy 60s Milestone Diva does her thing without regrets loud and proud!

The Saucy 70s Milestone Diva continues where sassy 60s left off and goes strong!

The Exciting 80s Milestone Diva knows that the good days are not over.  She still has a zest for life and is happy to share it!

The Nifty 90s Milestone Diva moves to her heart’s content.  She may be more relaxed, but has not stopped yet!

The Awesome 100s Milestone Diva can do whatever she pleases.  Anything she does is an inspiration for the rest of us!

Overall, you are a Milestone Diva if you are can allow yourself to experience excitement and awe, or can be physically active or consistently have things to do.

Make the most of 2022 by adding Relax and Recharge, A Society of Milestone Divas Summer Retreat, to your schedule of events.

Join other Milestone Divas, women aged 50 and older, for this oceanside retreat, at the beautiful Shores Resort and Spa, in Daytona Beach Shores, FL, from August 5 to 8, 2022. Enjoy a few days of relaxation, taking time for yourself to recharge after enduring the pandemic, and making new friends.
