#112: Today on Kickass Boomers we discuss Diane Bruno's many transitions in life and how they made her the fabulous woman she is today! In this conversation, Diane Bruno, a funeral director, and author, shares the story of her many transitions in life. She also talks about the importance of journaling to help you process your emotions and build your legacy. She discusses how journaling can be beneficial for both oneself and loved ones. Diane also tackles how technology has made learning new things easier than ever and how anyone can access information and courses regardless of age or experience. She believes that boomers make great life coaches because of our life experiences, which make us well-equipped to provide guidance to others. Let’s get to know more about Diane Bruno’s passion. I am an accomplished communications professional who knows how to craft messages that resonate with their intended audience. With over twenty years of experience in the communications field, I have witnessed it all and have been on the cutting edge of constant change. From the advent of the first corporate websites and intranets and throughout the evolution of social media technologies, all organizations have one goal in common, the desire to speak effectively to their internal and external audience. I launched my career at DDB Worldwide (part of Omnicom Group), one of the most influential and sought-after agencies in the advertising arena, with a focus on press materials and releases, executive communications, employee engagement, copywriting, corporate social responsibility, and more. The trajectory of my career has been an interesting and diverse migration. From the corporate communications arena to the funeral industry and back around, the one constant that has endured is my passionate love for the written word. Respect, empathy, clarity, validation, and appreciation need to be a part of every written message. I incorporate each of those into my approach to keeping employees and internal and external stakeholders engaged; they are the principles I live by in every aspect of my life. Join me in this episode and learn why Diane Bruno is a Kickass Boomer! [00:01 - 10:26] Powering Through the Transitions in Life Diane Bruno discusses the transitions in life that made her strong and resilient. Changes can be overwhelming, but trust the plan set by the universe. Diane recommends journaling as a way to be mindful and more resilient during life transitions. [10:27 - 19:42] The Benefits of Journaling Journaling can be a way to release emotions and improve mental health. Remembering what was happening at particular points in time can be done through writing at any length of time. There are many different things you can do at any stage of life, and journaling is a great way to plan out your next steps. [19:43 - 24:15] The Boomers’ Edge on Knowledge and Experience It's not impossible to learn new things, and keeping up with technology is important if you want to stay relevant. Experience is the foundation of being a good life coach. [24:16 - 28:44] Closing Segment Don’t be afraid to take that jump. Connect with us!

It is a great way of planning out the future because there is a future, and there are so many different things you could do with so many different stages of life.” - Diane Bruno Email to reach out to Diane Bruno and check out her , , and book . ----- BEE BOLD, NOT OLD.

#103: Did you know allergies to wheat can cause severe emotional reactions & anger outbursts in those with autism disorders & Alzheimer's? 09/26/2022

#103: Did you know allergies to wheat can cause severe emotional reactions & anger outbursts in those with autism disorders & Alzheimer's? Welcome Back to Kickass Boomers, Today we are joined by Dr. Ynge Ljung! Dr. Ynge Ljung was born and raised in Sweden, Dr. Ynge graduated as Chemical Engineer, but nobody at that time hired women engineers, and she moved to Bangla Desh, then to Venezuela. In 1990 she came to The United States, where she went to The Traditional School For Chinese Medicine in Miami from 1992 - 1995 when she graduated as an Acupuncture Physician. She opened her own clinic and had amazing results, but one or another didn’t respond as she expected. The patient would feel much better after the treatment, but the ailment would come back, mostly aches and pains and digestive problems. This was not acceptable to Her so she started a quest to find what the root was, and found that allergies played a big role in these patients, and took courses to learn how to remedy this. In 1998 she started treating for allergies with the system called NAET. It was an excellent protocol and she had great results, but it took a lot of time and many visits, so many patients didn’t finish their treatments due to lack of time and money, and many families had more than one child, and allergies themselves. In 2000, She started to experiment and research other methods to speed up the process. By now allergies started to be more and more common, and with many people living far away from a practitioner, she started to work on a protocol and system the patients could do themselves. In 2006 The Allergy Kit was born and launched on the internet!

#96: Have You Ever Thought of Moving To Another Country? Don't Worry Mike Can Help You! Welcome Back to Kick Ass Boomer, Today we are joined by Michael Cobb. At the height of a successful career in the computer industry, Mr. Cobb left to pursue more pioneering opportunities in the emerging real estate markets of Central America. In 1996, he and his business partner formed a company, Exotic Caye International, to provide loans to North Americans purchasing properties in Belize, Honduras, and throughout the region. As the need for capital outstripped the supply, the mortgage company was converted to an international bank under the jurisdiction of Belize. It continues to provide mortgage services but has expanded its services to encompass the full realm of financial products. Mr. Cobb also saw the need for a regional real estate company that would serve the Baby Boomer consumer with a North American standard product for the next 2 decades. He led the group into real estate development and created a holding company for several properties including a resort on Ambergris Caye, Belize. In August of 2000, Exotic Caye purchased 3.5 miles of Pacific Beachfront property due west of Managua, Nicaragua. This master-planned community hosts world-class infrastructure, homes, and condominium units. In February of 2006, the ECI Development group acquired 1100 acres and 3km of coastline in Costa Rica, setting the stage for expansion into this popular market. Most recently they merged their Belize property with a much larger parcel and have begun to develop 200 condominiums units on Ambergris Caye, Belize.

Her decision-making process has been guided by her experiences, which have included being an early years/elementary teacher in Canada, Japan and Lebanon and an administrator in Thailand, Georgia, Qatar and Japan. [18:35 – 27:42] Resilience Prevails in Difficult Times The years in administrative positions were very challenging, but from it she learned a lot about herself and about how to overcome challenges Her last position in Hiroshima was a return to working in schools that were not for profit. She later retired to Itoshima, Japan. She is grateful for all the negative experiences in her life because they have taught her lessons that she can use in her current situation [27:42 – 35:00] This woman is sharing her wisdom on how to be a great parent even after you die. Kathy published a book of advice for her son, to be read when he is on his own, for those times when he wonders, 'What would mom say? think?' She felt that it was her responsibility as a parent to share this information with him. Kathy has been busy creating content for social media and online courses to spread the word about her work. The author feels that if she can keep putting out the light of her message, it will eventually fall on someone who needs it. [35:00 – 48:39] Closing Segment Connect with Kathy!
