The Right-Sized Life with Amy Schmidt

You’ve proven you’re brave. You cannonballed into one chapter of your life and showed up fully — for your family, your career, your community, everyone who needed you. You did that. And it mattered.

Now you’re asking a different question.

Not how do I do more? But does this still fit?

Welcome to The Right-Sized Life with Amy Schmidt — the podcast for women who are done maintaining the old life and ready to build the true one.

Every episode, Amy brings the honest conversation you’ve been waiting for — the one that sounds less like a self-help seminar and more like a glass of wine with your wisest friend. Real stories. Practical frameworks. Permission to let go of what no longer fits and make room for what actually does.

Because a right-sized life isn’t about having less.

It’s about having what fits — so when the moments that matter arrive, you are actually there for them.

Amy Schmidt is the founder of Fearlessly Facing Fifty, bestselling author of CANNONBALL! Fearlessly Facing Midlife and Beyond and the forthcoming The Right-Sized Life, TEDx speaker, and one of the most trusted voices in midlife women’s media.

Go forth and live aligned. 🤍

EP 169: 3 hacks to alleviate holiday stress! Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

A bonus episode all about tips and tricks to alleviate holiday stress. Who gets an upset stomach just thinking about all that has to be done between now and the end of the year...yikes! I've been there - and am a recovering perfectionist for sure! In this bonus episode I share my 3 tips to alleviate holiday stress and enjoy them!

1) Let go of the P word! Perfectionism. If all the holiday decorations, presents, cookies, outfits, and responsibilities must be done perfectly, you are setting yourself up for stress and over the top anxiety. It’s easy to fall into the “if it’s not perfect, I’ve failed” trap. Show your imperfections, your vulnerabilities….happy and meaningful - joy’full’ hearts are what we need to strive for.

Identify Your stress triggers

2) There is power in saying No. This is so challenging because we feel like we’re letting people down. But when you make thoughtful choices about what you WANT to do and what you don’t want to do, you can then participate in the things that are meaningful to you and bring you joy, rather than those that make you anxious.

Build your Village

Identify your connected community and ask for support!

3) Take time to remember those who are not with you. The holidays can be a sad and stressful time when you have lost someone that you love. Create a tradition to remember them.

EP 162: Age is NOT just a number. Meet Girls Gone 50 Founders Sep 02, 2022

Show notes

Age is NOT just a number. Amen!

Are you ready to grow up and not grow old? Today’s episode will inspire you to #cannonballwithconfidence. This podcast was so popular - that we decided to share it again. Listen in as two award-winning ad creatives talk about launching their #AgeisNOTjustaNumber video campaign — an “Age Anthem” tackling ageism head-on. I was part of the campaign and loved every minute of it – you can watch it here.

If you believe that “age doesn’t define you, that substance is the new sexy, and in kicking ass instead of sitting on it,” meet Susan Lee Colby and Kathy Sjogren. After “aging out” of the youth-obsessed ad industry, the two friends co-founded Grace Creative, an agency specializing in marketing to women over 50.
