24: How to Make Extra Money From Home THIS WEEK

Nikki Romani

Today's episode is a very special interview with my daughter, Nikki Romani. Nikki has written and published her first book - available now on  Amazon (nikkiromani.com/book). We talk about her experiences on the World Race, an 11 month missions trip, where her experiences led her to know the God she had never met - the Holy Spirit. Do the miracles and spiritual encounters in the Bible still happen today? This is a question Nikki asked herself. She grew up going church and reading the Bible, but felt as though something was missing; an unexplainable power not of this world. Nikki started hearing stories of others experiencing miracles and she came to a point in her life she wanted to experience them too. She didn’t realize the same power she read about in the Bible was living inside of her from the moment she asked Jesus into her heart. That power is the Holy Spirit. Through Nikki’s desire to learn more about the Holy Spirit, she encountered Him in ways she never dreamed she would - from seeing angels, to witnessing miracles. You can encounter Him in this way too. In A God You’ve Never Met, you will learn: What it means to release control and surrender, What Scripture says about the Holy Spirit, How to hear the voice of God, How to discover your spiritual gifts, How to "see" in the spiritual realm. Are you ready to meet a God you’ve never met? Purchase your copy of A God You've Never Met today on Amazon here:  nikkiromani.com/book Connect with Nikki on Instagram here: @nikkiromani

21: Your Story Can Unlock Healing for Others

Renita D. Terry

My guest today is Renita D. Terry. Renita has always introduced herself as a 5th generation educator and 3rd generation musician. While she has years of experience in the corporate world, she is now driven to transition out of that role and help others design a life of Confident Brilliance. Renita says in order to show up for the world, we all need to operate from a place of confidence, in spite of the fact that we all may fight imposter syndrome. To practice showing up is what gives you confidence.  In this episode, Renita says that we all are probably more brilliant than we realize. She lays out steps to unlock that brilliance in a way that makes sense for everyone. Whether you are in a time of transition and exploring your options, or you know the direction you are going and just need to connect with your brilliance on a deeper level of confidence, you’ll enjoy this interview with Renita D. Terry. Renita says it’s important to ask yourself these two questions: Where have you shown up lately? Where do you show up on a consistent basis? The goal to showing up consistently is to create a system. Here are some books mentioned by Renita in this episode: Show Your Work!

Mel Greenberg

I've got a special treat for you today - my guest is Mel Greenberg, author of Running With Our Eyes Closed and contributor to Chaos to Clarity: Sacred Stories of Transformational Change. Don't you just love how things can unexpectedly come together on the internet? Mel and I met just over a week ago on Instagram, and I suspect this is just the beginning of a longtime connection. I think you will be inspired by Mel. Her story of redefining her life through a cancer diagnosis and the woes of a sudden empty nest will leave you with hope for your own future. Mel is the married mother of two sons in their early twenties. She worked as a copywriter and producer in radio and television before having children and making the decision to stay at home with them full-time. Once she became an empty nester, Mel struggled to find her voice and direction. Ultimately, it was her passion for writing and the discovery that she was not alone that led her to write.  I hope you will connect with Mel and let her know how her story helped you!

14: Dreams and intentions and Goals, Oh My!

My guest today is Tammy Helfrich. Tammy is a life coach, speaker, writer and podcast host. Her intuitive way of coaching has helped so many women sort through the internal clutter and fully become their authentic selves.  In this episode, Tammy and I dive in to her process of reviewing the past year, so that we can have realistic expectations and can set goals for the coming year. So before you get hung up on what goals to set for 2020, I hope you’ll listen to our chat and do a thorough review of 2019 first. I love Tammy’s ability to help women dream again. She walks women through what they need to do to think on these things and find out what can bring them to being truly healthy.

My guest today is Tammy Helfrich. Tammy is a life coach, speaker, writer and podcast host. Her intuitive way of coaching has helped so many women sort through the internal clutter and fully become their authentic selves.  In this episode, Tammy and I dive in to her process of reviewing the past year, so that we can have realistic expectations and can set goals for the coming year. So before you get hung up on what goals to set for 2020, I hope you’ll listen to our chat and do a thorough review of 2019 first. I love Tammy’s ability to help women dream again. She walks women through what they need to do to think on these things and find out what can bring them to being truly healthy.

12: The Green Velvet Christmas Dress - A Legacy Story with Melea J. Brock

Oh boy, not much frustrates me more than when I hear someone say "I don't do that thing  because I'm OLD." And I hear it more often than I'd like. You can fill in the blank with things like "email" "get a new smart phone" "learn a new skill" "run a marathon" "write a book" etc. etc. but the message is the same: "I think I'm too old to learn to do a new thing."    Well, I'm here to debunk that attitude. In this episode, I'll share from a list of people who became famous or tried something new or conquered a new milestone after age 40. One even said, "my 90's were the most productive years of my life." (It's my goal to be able to say that one day, by the way...) This is by no means an exhaustive list, but if it helps to make you think about trying something new, then my mission is accomplished. In addition to these more well-known people, we all know someone older who ignores their age and does interesting things anyway, and we secretly admire them.    So let's lose that self-imposed roadblock and try new things, shall we?    Send me a DM or comment on one of my Instagram posts with what you'll be doing, in spite of your age! ;-) I'm @tamiromani on every platform, but here's the direct link to my Instagram.   If you are interested in having a support system as you explore something new, then you should be in The Empire Builders Collective, a VIP group where we talk about what you should do and how to accomplish it. Doors will open early next year, so hop on the waiting list here: tamiromani.com/vipwaitlist

8: Before You Quit Your Job with Keenya Kelly

Sheri McIntyre

I met my guest, Sheri McIntyre, through the magic of social media. She reached out to me several months ago via Instagram messenger, and my life has not been the same since. Sheri was in the best shape of her life - and (she thought) the best health of her life when the unthinkable happened - a sudden rupture of a brain aneurysm left her helpless on New Years Day, 2016. Helpless, yes. Hopeless, no. Something inside Sheri rose up with strength and fortitude and she was determined to do whatever it takes to get better. She slowly learned how to walk and talk again - and now, not even four years from that day - she has written a book. I hope you will be inspired by Sheri's story. She reminds us all to have hope in the darkest of times, and to always look for the light, and then work hard to keep reaching for it. Above all, Sheri would like everyone who hears her story to THINK. Here are some resources we mentioned in this interview: Connect with Sheri on Instagram @compassionate.snob &gt;&gt;&gt;Let her know you heard this podcast! Sheri's book, Compassionate Snob, is available on Amazon The Brain Aneurysm Foundation website (bafound.org) ******* Let's continue the discussion over on Instagram and Facebook! Reach out to me and let me know what impacted you the most in this episode. You can find me @tamiromani on every single platform.  Find me on Facebook Let's connect on Instagram

7: Surviving and Thriving After Brain Injury with Sheri McIntyre

Amy Van Liew

Hi Empire Builders! I am really happy that my first episode after the introductions we’ve been doing is this one about being healthy enough. I’ve noticed a tendency to have an all or nothing mentality in this area. Every time we open a magazine or turn on the TV we are bombarded with images of others we would like to emulate, but really - it’s unattainable for most of us. So what do we do? We do nothing.  My guest today is going to teach you a better way. A way to be healthy enough - for you. Amy Van Liew spent 26 years as an engineer for HP, and when she took early retirement at age 50, she knew she needed to improve her health. All those years of corporate sitting had taken a toll. So, she educated herself and now is helping midlifers find the balance they need to be healthy enough. Healthy enough to enjoy life on their terms. I hope this episode sparks some ideas for changes you can make to be your healthiest self.

6: How to Be Healthy Enough with Amy Van Liew

Okay. Did I save the best Empire Building pillar introduction for last? Or is it the worst?  Love it or hate it, the idea of leaving a legacy always comes down to money, for most of us. Yes, the point of this podcast is that we build empires in so many different areas, which is why we introduced the five pillars of empire building - and we will tell stories from all of them.  Fitness, Fun. Family. Faith, and Finance...But that money thing? It’s the one that haunts us, am I right? Maybe you’ve done just fine in this pillar of empire building. Or maybe you haven’t. Or maybe you are somewhere in between. We will talk about all of it, and hear stories from the planners. The non planners, and even those who have successfully turned their finances around, even in their retirement years. Get ready for some ideas, some strategy, and some insight.  Just a few of the questions we need to tackle are -  Are you ready for retirement? Do you feel like you will never be able to retire? Did you invest wisely or live paycheck to paycheck? Did you teach your children about money or are they floundering as young adults? Are you generous, or do you feel like you need to keep every last penny because doggone it, you earned it? What will people say about your money skills when you’re gone? Do you even care? Does all this talk about manifesting and attracting money really work? And by the way, Where did our money mindset come from? Did your parents live through the great depression?  Did you grow up hearing your parents say things like “money doesn’t grow on trees!” and “ What do you think I am, made of money?” And finally, is it possible to rewire your brain to have a different attitude about money and lighten up on the self-imposed pressure a bit? Oh boy. Money. Finances. We will talk to experts and non experts and hear their stories, and their advice - then, it’s up to you whether you take it to heart or not. We will discuss business ideas, how to crack the code in online marketing… and let me reiterate here - YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD, AND IT’S NEVER TOO LATE. I might go on a tangent here, this is one of my pet peeves… every week I hear someone say things like, “I don’t do email because I’m old.” (uhhh my mom learned how to email in her 80s and was delighted to have a new way to connect with people - it was so much easier for her than hand writing notes..) I think if my mom was still with us, she would have had a blast doing live videos on Instagram and Facebook…. So, lose that limiting belief, okay??? I cannot wait to see what shows up as we unpack and learn new things together...Are you ready? __________ We should connect on social media - I'm @tamiromani on every platform, but my current favorite is Instagram More resources: The Empire Builders Collective is a place where midlife visionaries find their authentic voice and unlock new purpose! It's an amazing community where we remove the mystery from digital business and get stuff done!

5: Your Financial Empire

I love Tami’s podcast. She finds speakers that I can relate to as an older mom. Even though my children are out of the house, I will never stop being a mom.

I am an Empty Nester

I’m not an empty nester yet, but I’m an older Mom and looking for the next chapter of my life soon. This podcast has already given me great encouragement and inspiration - that I have MANY years, if not decades, to create my legacy and do it well! Thank you Tami!

So inspiring!

Every day we are building empires - creating a legacy to leave behind. Whether we mean to or not, we build empires in faith, our relationships with family and friends, our level of fitness in body mind and spirit, even by having fun - and of course our finances. Most of the time we let the chips fall where they may, but what if we were more intentional about the empires we are building? I’m Tami Romani, an empty nest mom and grandma with a passion for your success - Welcome to Empty Nest Empires where we will figure this out together - I’m so happy you’re here!
