Don’t let regrets be an excuse to NOT live a great life!
Today’s episode of Women of Impact focuses on something that more than 90% of women have - and that’s massive regret on their deathbed!
From not standing up for yourself, to never finding love, or allowing fear to hold you back, I want YOU to stop blaming yourself and stop wishing things could be different so you can get out of regret and live a more happy and fulfilling life!
And here with us to talk about overcoming regrets and living a well-lived life is the AMAZING and frikin’ INSPIRING Gladys McGarey. She’s a doctor that is widely considered the “mother of holistic medicine” and the now-103 year old is sharing her life-changing secrets for how to live with joy, happiness, and purpose at ANY age.
From growing up in India, to life as a doctor and mother of 6, to being served divorce papers after almost 50 years of marriage, Gladys has soooo many inspiring stories and actionable insights to help you listen to your inner voice so you can build your confidence and live life on your own frikin’ terms!
In this episode, we’re diving into:
- How to stand up for yourself in life, so you can find your voice (hopefully earlier than Gladys did at 93!)
- Why you should BE GLAD and forgive instead of holding onto pain
- How you have to stop looking at the mess if you want to be happy
- The unbelievable power of living life in love and letting go
- How to honor yourself, your feelings, and your differences and LOVE YOUR DAMN SELF!!
YOU get to choose what you build your life on, so trust your intuition, and listen to Gladys and her 103 years of wisdom to reclaim your life NOW!

GLADYS’ ENLIGHTENING QUOTES:
"For years, I saw myself as the really not bright one. But I had a lot of thoughts and a lot of things I needed to say. You know, I would make a speech, but in my mind I would say, is that really what you want to say? There was this back in my head saying, was that the right thing or are you going, you know, there was this little monkey on my shoulder that kept saying, are you sure? And it wasn't until I was 93 that I finally accepted my voice because of the way I had accepted life on its terms…"
"But the fact is, if you actually believe that life goes on, you don't have to be afraid."
"We have a choice, and the choice is to either look into the darkness and the pain and the suffering and suffer along with ourselves. And it's very easy to get into that place. It's really hard to look at that place and say, well, yeah, okay, this is really hard, but I don't need to be stuck there and then pull ourselves back and look for the light."
"And if something was said and it was just, you weren't going to hang on to it, instead of taking it in and saying, oh, it hurt my feelings and make it hurt our feelings. Or we could just let the petals land in our hand and say, oh, it doesn't matter, and just let those petals and you won't even remember it."
"It's a matter of where I choose to spend my energy, because the people that don't want to hear what I'm talking about or what I'm saying, they don't need to hear it."

Gladys is my favorite guest. I absolutely LOVED every second of this interview. Thank you for hosting Gladys so well.❤

[@buffalomedicine3640]

Once I pulled my self together after my divorce, I blossomed and found who I was and truly loved every minute of it.

[@cleopatrajones7096]

This might be your best show! I love listening to older, wise people. Tired of 20’s something offering advice.

[@hferrari7553]

I know what you mean. But hearing all the ages is also wonderful, even just for learning a new perspective. The younger ones (as shallow as they sometimes come across), struggle too, just as we struggled differently than our elders 😘

[@sgagas1]

“If we are not looking for the light we will never see it” WOW 😯

[@LisaBilyeu]

WARNING: I will never ask for your contact info in the comments section, that is someone impersonating me!

[@angelas1726]

This woman is my new hero! My patronnes! May god continue to bless her so she can bless others!

[@ordinarytree4678]

she is incredibly articulate and sound of mind for one so ancient. Good brain genes in her line.

[@erikahyman8611]

This woman is so beautiful & so wise! May God keep blessing her & keep her safe & healthy.❤️🙏

[@CatsInHats-S.CrouchingTiger]

The wisdom of 5 L’s 55:55-56:57 the end of this interview with Gladys McGary, is a keeper that will transform how you live life and what it can help you to navigate through the changes of every stage of your life. What an amazing and inspiring woman!💕

[@meetandinspire]

"It has to be alive or it's dead. Living is a life's process and life and love have to work together as a whole living process and if you don't connect life with love it gets stuck."

[@hferrari7553]

This is truly the best podcast I’ve listened to with LB. I so want to hear more. Please bring on more older women for us; heck, interview them twice, three times… there is so much to learn. We can’t meet them all ourselves directly, so please Lisa, connect us to their wisdom through your channel 🙏🏾💕

[@musicjunkieaddict6600]

Gladys story made me smile so big wow there’s not one ounce of stupid in her.lord keep blessing this beautiful woman 🙏

[@nadinetchaho2618]

That’s Eternal life right there. Wow Jesus gave her a word of life by releasing her voice from captivity. And in turns she glorified him by testifying of his Love. Other people are ashamed of God’s word in their life and Claime glory for themselves Mark 8:38 If you are ashamed of me and my words while living among sinful and faithless people, then I, the Son of Man, will also be ashamed of you when I make my appearance with my holy messengers in the glorious splendor of my Father!” She love the Lord so much that she reveal Eternity as Jubilee to set the mentally captive free. She was born for glory and the Lord has not failed her. Jeremiah 1:5 Alleluia Glory to God I will cherish this interview all my life I have all the answers I longed for right here Thank you 🙏

[@rosapena2134]

Thank you Lisa for having someone in their golden years on your program. So much wisdom. I was just recently saying to myself- people over sixty are so not represented on KZbin. It starts to feel like we are invisible. God bless n thanks for empowering so many of us❤❤❤

Better to find your voice at 93 then to never find it at all

[@aseelnuman]

The question is are we gonna reach 93?

[@emiliefonhaugteien8238]

[@PersianDollTarot]

I absolutely love this subject and I love old people they are amazing❤I have had several older women tell me that no one looks at them anymore no one even holds the door for them no one cares about them because they’re not attractive anymore it’s sad❤

[@cleopatrajones7096]

@Persian I’m looking forward to those years. I don’t think it’s sad. It’s invigorating! Pure freedom.

[@passionatesingle]

Not many young people do it today anyway.

[@siandraobat2656]

What kind of toad isn’t in the water?! Is what I would have said if I have a girl child!! Then we would have went and turn the water hose on with your green costume and jumped like frogs together😊…

[@adannanwadiogbu4087]

This is amazing!

[@vanessasanders5647]

Thanks so much for sharing this. What a awesome privilege we are gifted to listen to this phenomenal wisdom.

[@dorisdelaney466]

I like the jest of what she is saying But I would have to tell my younger self To trust my gut get help and pursue my career and for fuck sake Wax and don't have those old lady whiskers

[@hey_kudisco_podcast]

Yay I'm first! =)

[@RitaP41]

Would be more useful of you to contribute something Meaningful, like a list of her regrets.

[@hey_kudisco_podcast]

@@RitaP41 respectfully, please allow people to express joy in their own way without policing. I enjoy these podcasts so much and my comment was simply reflecting that.

[@Medietos]

I won't listen to people using street cheap , poor langúage and intonation, it is sad and I want to minimize such influence.Why doesn't anyone tell her to grow up and speak like and adult? "...like..." The old woman had a beautiful hair plait style.
