Channeling Dopamine with Dr Monica Hayes Part 1 S2 Ep3

Dr Monica Hayes joins us for 2 episodes as we continue our Wonderful Women of Wellness series.  Her first episode (S2 Ep3) will focus on benefits we can receive from aromatherapy including a boost in dopamine.  Her second episode (S2 Ep4) will focus on reading and writing erotica, which can also result in increased dopamine.  Both aromatherapy and erotica can be empowering, inspirational, build confidence, and help partners reconnect.

In addition to being a consultant in education, health, and mental health, Dr. Hayes is a Certified Aromatherapist and published author of two books: “Pure Pleasure a Collection of Erotic Interludes”, and “Tell Me How You Like It, Cause I want to Please You.”  She is also an accomplished speaker who presents on topics ranging from, Cultural and Linguistic Competency to Difficult Conversations about Race, Sensuality, Sexuality, and YOU!

Episode 127 What Will You Do When Your Aging Parents Ask to Live with You?

I saw a statistic recently, that stated 52% of young adults currently live with their parents.  While that stat seems high it is not surprising.  Intergenerational households are becoming more common, partly due to economic pressures and longer life spans.

When I was growing up, my parents and maternal grandparents’ houses were next door to each other.  At times it felt as if we all lived under the same roof.  I loved it!  There were wonderful opportunities for bonding with my grandparents.

Sometimes, our intergenerational blending happened because our adult children moved back home with us including bringing their spouses and/or their own children too.  Younger Milestone Divas such as those of us in our 50s, 60s and some 70s are sandwiched between the returning adult children and the aging parents who are not ready or don’t want to move to a senior living community or nursing home.

We may feel more confident and in control with our children, but what do we do when our parents want to live with us?  That situation brings a whole new set of issues.  Primarily, financial and logistical as well as emotional and social.

Episode 126 When You Are Asked to Babysit

Childcare is a major expense for many families, so asking grandparents to babysit can ease the financial burden. Of course, there’s also the priceless benefits of giving grandparents and grandchildren more time to spend together so they can develop a closer relationship.

If you and your family are enjoying such an arrangement, you’re not alone. According to the American Grandparents Association, 72% of their members take care of their grandchildren on a regular basis and 13% say they are the primary caregivers.

While there are many advantages, there are also some potential pitfalls that you can avoid with proper planning.  Here are some tips to help you create a safe and satisfying experience for you, your children, and your grandchildren.

Episode 125 Cheer for Your Upcoming Milestone Birthday

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.

Episode 124 Love is Greater than Dementia with Priscilla Jean-Louis

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.

Episode 120 Look Forward

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!
