Shannon: [00:00:00] Are you ready to quit your nine to five job and start a business of your own? Well, you're in the right place, my friend. Welcome to the second Act Success Career podcast. I am your host Shannon Russell. I am a former television producer, turned business owner, career transition coach, and boy mom. My mission is to help you produce your best life.
This podcast will teach you how to get from where you are now to where you want to be, and how to build a business that fits your life and lights you up. Let's get started.
Hey there and welcome back to the show Today I'm joined by Lynnisis Woods Mullins. Lynnisis is a dynamic, certified holistic living and wellness expert and a life coach. She specializes in empowering women over 40
to thrive in their mind, body and spirit. She shares how she left her corporate career to begin a business way before life coaching was even a thing.
Her [00:01:00] philosophy, midlife is not the end. It's an opportunity to thrive. It's never too late to make a change. Chase your dreams and live joyfully.
Lynnis knows what she's talking about. My friend, she is a married mother of four beautiful daughters and seven grandchildren. Let's get started and welcome Lynnis to the show.
Shannon: Welcome to the show, Lynnisis. I'm so excited to have you here.
Lynnis: Thank you. It's great to be here, Shannon. Well, I wanna hear all about your career. You're doing such amazing stuff right now, but where did your career begin?
, my career began very shortly after I graduated from college, way back in the stone age in 1979. my very first professional job Was working as a recruiter for an agency, and that was when I was in Atlanta because the school I went to, PEL College was in Atlanta, Georgia, and I stayed there years.
I transferred to the Bay Area and started working for Reynolds Aluminum in [00:02:00] the same capacity, , as a recruiter and kind of worked my way up to, the human resources genre so that when I finally left that particular career, I was a director and I was working for an HMO. Here in, , California, my, , career prior to that, , has taken me all around, , the United States and in some parts of the world, , in charge of recruitment processes and services.
But I left that at 51 18 years ago. And the reason why I left is that I had developed an anxiety disorder and I wanted to take some time off. I took a sabbatical for a year, and when it was time to go back. I decided I didn't wanna go back because I didn't wanna go back into the thing that caused my anxiety.
I found out later through a lot of research and through learning more about wellness, that my anxiety was ado. It had to do with post-traumatic stress syndrome in terms of how I found out about my mom being hit by a. Firetruck on her way to work. And also, uh, I was beginning to enter menopause. There's such a thing as menopausal anxiety that many doctors might know [00:03:00] about, but they don't, that's not what they always lead with.
, usually they lead with other things. But that's what it was. It was a shortage of hormones that can cause a feeling of anxiety. Usually low estrogen drop, high cortisol rise, that will cause those feelings. But I didn't find that out until much later. I decided to go into business for myself initially because I thought I would teach women over 40 to dance.
I was going to open a dance studio. I am classically trained as a ballet dancer, and right before I went into corporate America, I danced professionally for about a year and I got hurt, but I've always still kept dancing. All the time. And I thought I would do that. And when I opened up my dance studio and started teaching, , I quickly found out that there were so many things that were wrong that needed to be corrected with these women.
Most of them were about between 45 and 50, a little bit older than I. And I saw obesity. I saw cancer survivors. I saw women who were struggling with depression, just a plethora of. Things that can happen in midlife that we normally just kind of tossed [00:04:00] aside and look for some kind of a bandaid fix. Mm-hmm.
But the reality is that dance wasn't gonna fix all that stuff. So I started, going back to school and finding out what other kinds of things I could learn. And over the years got certified in many, many modalities. Opened up my praise book's, health and Wellness, which will be 18 years old. In, , April.
This month Congrat and, uh, began doing coaching services. And since that time I've a magazine. I have a newsletter, I have a podcast, I have a membership program, a very large group on Facebook of 26,000 women and over 150,000, uh, women following me on the internet. And it's kind of funny because I didn't know anything about social media, uh, graphics, none of that when I started.
And back then the idea of coaching online was not a thing at all like it is now. So there was no coach that I could hire. There were no platforms that could help me. I had to learn all of this from scratch. But you see, it's never too late. I was in my fifties when I did that. [00:05:00] And now my well into my sixties.
I'm teaching other women now. I'm also a social media strategist as well as a, wellness professional, teaching other women on how to launch their businesses, especially if they've traditionally been a brick and mortar and they just don't know where to start because now it's overwhelming. There's just so many opportunities available to promote online and you can just get down that rabbit hole and still wonder how come you're not making any cells?
Because I quickly learned a, like doesn't equal a dollar, so. Strategic with your social media, but basically that's how I got started.
Shannon: Woo. There is so much to unpack. You have done so much amazing. But really props to you for realizing that working in human resources was not where your heart was and you wanted to take care of your health.
I think that's an important, important lesson for listeners to take is to pay attention.
Lynnis: So over the years, human resources began to change and became more data driven than it was helping [00:06:00] people when I first got started with it in the, , late, um. Seventies, it was more about helping people, but it began to change and became more data driven.
And I just wasn't in that. I was responsible for the generalist and the benefits and all that stuff. And it was a lot. And it was also in the medical field in the HMO and as an administrator sitting in meetings listening about putting butts in beds when I thought we were supposed to be about healing.
It's a dichotomy. Wanna heal, but you gotta have the butts and the beds. You're a nonprofit, but you have to make money. So, you know. Yeah. It was just a disconnect for me in terms of the way we do, , medicine in here, in the United States, and no shade on doctors. They're just a part of the system.
They don't, they didn't necessarily create the system, but anytime you have a system that's about health. And profit, there's gonna be some conflicts. And so I wanted to be able to help women at least be proactive in their care, maybe even preventative, so that they don't end up having to taking, , a lot of [00:07:00] pharmaceuticals or God forbid, get something cut off.
And, I think it has really. Helped thousands of women, but also helped me. I mean, I'm gonna be 68 in June. I feel better now than I did when I was 51. So it's been quite, it's been quite a journey.
Shannon: And you're not alone at all there. I've spoken to women who are doctors and the same thing just get out because of all of the politics and the admin, and they need to get out, but find a way to serve their patients in different ways and reach people.
You were kind of behind the scenes. You were in the back of the medical field, but then you decided to come out and really put yourself in the front and help other women. So while you were on your sabbatical and you were taking care of yourself and you were realizing, you know, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to your mother and all of these things that really were.
Shannon: Coming to the forefront, did you know that you maybe wanted to start a business of your own and figure that out, or were you just really floundering to to find your way? [00:08:00]
Lynnis: Didn't know at all. Entrepreneurism is not a thing in my family, although my dad was a lobbyist and before that he was an elected official.
But entrepreneurs know I come from a long line of educators. Mm-hmm. Uh, not small business owners. So, no, that was not anything at all. Ignorance is bliss. It might have taken me longer to turn a profit because I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't know. How to make the idea I had in my head come to fruition.
I found one site. Online that kind of spoke to me in terms of the kinds of things I wanted to talk about. I didn't have all the training either. I was a nutrition minor in college. And I was a dance minor also, so I knew about the body and I knew a little bit about nutrition, but I didn't know.
What holistic really meant. , I didn't have, any certifications like I do now, and now it's a nutrition, aromatherapy, Pilates, yoga, , holistic living as a health coach. All these things I got certified in, but you know, that, [00:09:00] that was over time. How I began to learn a lot is that one of the skills that I kind of segued from.
Human resources to, what I'm doing now is I had to interview a lot of people, so it was my husband's idea for me to get on internet radio, which is now podcast, but back then it was internet radio, so we bought a bunch of time on Voice America, which was the largest radio, internet radio in the country at the time.
And even though I didn't have a background in wellness, I was, interviewing doctors and holistic practitioners and trainers. A lot of coaches back then, consultants, they were gonna have been called back then. , and that's where I got a lot of my, , training. And as a result, I ended up with all these books, hundreds of books that they would send me.
'cause back then they were sending books and not PDFs. Oh, and I, all of them in preparation for the interview. And I learned a and I began to get moments in terms of. The kinds of programs I wanted to structure. The other challenge was though, , my demographic that I wanted to appeal to was not online like that at [00:10:00] all.
They were just discovering social media, but not really, and just beginning to think about the idea of possibly purchasing online, because the whole idea of buying clothes online or anything that you can't touch, see, and feel first. Giving money and not sure when it was going to get there, all that kind of stuff.
So this was really a, a new concept. And so I had to overcome all of that over time. It was kind of journey trying to get people to understand what it was I was doing and why it was of value and how it could help them in terms of thriving, , in, during their midlife journey.
But I'm happy to say I'm still here. And, profitable. I didn't lose a home, didn't lose a car at the time that I left to, corporate America. I have four daughters. One was in junior high, two were in high school, and one had just started college. So it was pretty interesting.
But since that time, they've all. Finished college and now I have seven grandchildren. So a lot has happened, , as a result, not just as a result of this [00:11:00] business, but I do believe that they are as successful as they are because they had to take on some responsibility for their education and other things.
They had to work and everything else, but it made them that much more successful, as adults.
Shannon: You know what? You being present, you are being a present mom. Mm-hmm. To your children. They were watching what you were doing. And I think that adds to their success as well. Seeing you.
Change careers, build something of your own, go back to school, help others. That's all definitely paid into them being success in, in their own lives.
Lynnis: I think it, made a, a big difference in terms of how they, , encode the world. I do. Mm-hmm.
Shannon: Wow. So you start helping other women in midlife and you're going back to school, you're getting your certifications.
What were you learning about women in midlife and what they needed from you the most?
Lynnis: I think women in midlife really needed the encouragement to put themselves on the forefront [00:12:00] of their list instead of on the back. So many women are so far back on the B back burner. Their real needs not just surface, surface wise.
You can look great if you're in a size 22, but if you're in a size 22, let's say, and you're five feet tall, something's going on in there that you need to address. And many women just weren't addressing those kinds of things. That little pain here or there, little bit of hair loss, sleeplessness, all these different things they just kind of didn't talk about or maybe attributed to the change, which they didn't talk about.
And so I saw a need just to get. A dialogue. Going to start talking about the things that we were going through as we age, and also to learn to embrace the aging process. I tell my age because I feel that it's a badge of honor. I have many friends that didn't make it to this age. Yeah. But I also talk about my age because I know I don't necessarily look my age and the reason why I don't is because of [00:13:00] my lifestyle and the things that I do.
My husband was asking me yesterday, 'cause I was kind of on him about. Taking care of himself and some things that he needs to do. And, , he said, well, you know, how are you feeling? Are you healed? And I said, you know what? My blood pressure is good. My cholesterol is good. I've had that weight gain that happens as you get older, but I'm still, instead of a size six, I'm a size eight.
You know, I'm still walking every day, still dancing. I feel better now and I think I look better now than I was at 51. It's not so much that, I don't have the wrinkles and now my hair's all gray because I had a hair dye allergy that I developed during this whole journey.
It looks beautiful, by the way, your hair looks gorgeous. Oh, thank you. But I think what happened was it's about addressing who you are on the inside, and that begins to radiate out. You do to look better. It's not just the looks. Mm-hmm. It's energy. It's that spiritual connection that. [00:14:00] For ourselves that we sometimes let go of because we're so busy pouring into everything else.
We play so many roles as daughter and sister and friend and mother, so grandmother, aunt, mm-hmm. You know, employee, neighbor, wife, all these different roles that we play, which require a certain amount of nurturing and pouring into so that when it's time for us. You know, there's not a whole lot less slack on and makeup put on your new suit.
Size 20 outfit.
We literally are and figuratively are slowly dying, and there is a way you can't stop that process, but you can certainly slow down the process and also impact how the process affects you. You don't have to age and die with tubes coming out of you or as a result of surgeries or out of your mind. You do not.
My goal is to like. Go in my sleep, you know? Yeah. Maybe the day before just got through playing on the floor with [00:15:00] my grandchildren or going to a hockey game or whatever the situation is, fully active, like my father, my father passed when he was 87 a few years ago, and he did have COPD from an earlier lifestyle of smoking.
So we knew that one day that would catch up with him, but. He did all the other things that he needed to do, take good care of himself. And one day the COPD is caught up with him, but he was, , leaving from a, just a wellness check appointment with his doctor and he just was walking into the hallway and just passed out.
And that was it. He didn't suffer, he didn't go through a whole lot of things. , he could've lived longer. The lifeline, his family goes almost to a hundred, but. That was an earlier lifestyle thing that he had done. Yeah, and really the reason why I am like beginning to get on TikTok and doing a lot more talking to women who are 30 and younger is that.
Feeling the way I am doing the things that I am doing. You need to start now and and start making different kinds of choices if you are [00:16:00] making unhealthy choices because it really does make a difference and it's never too late, but you really can't turn back the hands of time in terms of what you might have done That was terrible.
But you can certainly stop and take a look at what you've been doing and begin to make those incremental lifestyle changes that are going to pay huge benefits as you get older.
Shannon: Oh, great lesson. Absolutely. And it's paying attention and seeing your doctor and checking the cortisol levels and the cholesterol and all of that, like you mentioned, because you don't know what's going on inside.
So you do wanna pay attention instead of just pushing it off and ignoring it until something bad does happen
Lynnis: before, until you have an event. Absolutely. Yeah.
Shannon: Hmm. Let's talk about the book that you co-authored, power Up Super Women. Tell me all about it.
Lynnis: , I was approached by a publisher and he was looking for women who might have gone through some adversity and what they did to get past the adversity and all the women to talk about their particular adversity and what they went through.
And it was so much fun. And since that time, I've done maybe [00:17:00] about four other collaborations, four other books. Since that time. That was my very first one and it was a great experience.
And the, the friends that, um, I made as a result of working on that book, are life lifelong friends, the women, our lifelong friends. And I think that as you get older, your friendships actually should grow even more so. And what happens a lot of times as we age. As we get busy raising kids and everything else when you're well into your forties and fifties, we have a tendency to self-select out and stop reaching out to our friends in our, in our community of women,
check in with yourself. How is my day going? And we as women have a tendency not to do that. And it's not an easy thing any longer because of all of the distractions, all the notifications coming over our phones.
Lynnis: And now when someone rings a doorbell, you can look at your phone to see if you can see their face. And you know, you walk around with a computer in your hand. But we have to be careful about that.
We are called human beings, not human doings. You know, there's sometimes we just need, there's advantages in just being.[00:18:00]
And I have to reteach myself that all the time. Mm-hmm.
Shannon: Yep. And the check-ins, I'm big on that too. Check in with yourself. Are you okay? Are you happy? Are you feeling stuck? Because we don't do that. Slowing down is okay.
Give ourselves some grace.
Lynnis (2): Absolutely.
Shannon: But you're really busy with, your magazine and your podcast. Is there anything you wanna tell us about those?
Lynnis: My magazine, I have retired for now because I'm so busy building my membership program, the Vibe Wellness Women Network. I'm very excited about that.
And it's a network of, , 23 wellness professionals, from MDs to holistic practitioners, to therapists to trainers, nutritionists, fitness people. Just a plethora of women with great backgrounds accumulating to about 350 years of experience of working with women over 40 when it comes to health and wellness.
And we give workshops. We also have a blog that's there. My podcast goes through there as well. And we have classes and resources that are listed there, so it's a. A great opportunity for women to begin to [00:19:00] start asking the questions and having, , the opportunity to ask the experts. If you show up to the workshops, they're right there.
And these are women who have been practicing, , for years, and I just feel so lucky, , to have them. They're from all over the world, from United Kingdoms here in the United States. And these are women who I have worked with, , who, I collaborated with and who've been on my podcast. Podcast. The Vibe Living Podcast has been on now for about five years, and I'm so excited to say that we are now on the top 8% of podcasts globally.
Lynnis (2): Yeah.
Lynnis: And, uh, the kind of guests we have are mostly women addressing the needs and concerns of women 45 and over. Just recently I posted a podcast about horses, a therapist who uses horses as part of her therapy. The clients don't get on the horses or. Studies have shown, just like with dolphins, let's say there's something calming about horses.
They're very sensitive and they tune into how we are feeling, and she uses all of that to [00:20:00] get her clients comfortable about talking about what's going on with them. She has her horses on her ranch. She meets with her clients and they go in, but she also does some kind of thing with Zoom with the horses.
It's amazing. So I get a chance to talk to people who are doing different kinds of things holistically to help women to heal and to help women to be more preventative with their overall wellness.
Shannon: Ooh, I'm gonna link to all of this in the show notes 'cause I think that membership, , is amazing and can be so beneficial.
Lynnis: I needed to be talking more about it. My goal was to have a thousand members by the end of this year. I'm way behind that goal. It's very affordable. Right now, it's only $19 a month, but I'm gonna be doing specials. There's a free trial that's there and every day we're adding more things. But it's a great, one of the things that I wanna do, with it is to have more.
Community. We do have a Facebook group. I'm gonna start doing Zoom calls for the membership, and, and the contributors to come. Those who are [00:21:00] available to come as well, so they can just start asking questions and finding out more about their overall wellness. People come, you know, grow with us.
, make suggestions. , there's not really anything quite like this, in terms of my vision of what I want to do. And I'm telling you, having access for a very small price, experts in that field, is. Is really a great, you know, I'm thinking too, given the climate and what's happening with some of the people's insurances and other services, this is a very inexpensive way to get more information on how to preventatively heal or to how to heal instead of having to pot down hundreds and thousands of dollars.
Shannon: And it's all about being educated and that's what you're helping these women do, especially, , putting themselves first for a small fee and then meeting other women and other experts and , that's wonderful.
Lynnis: Absolutely. Thank you.
All right, it's time for our five fast cues of the week. Here we go.
Shannon: Name one thing that these different chapters in your life [00:22:00] have taught you.
Lynnis: Resilience. Resilience. I'm not a quitter. If I'm passionate about something, I'm gonna find a way to make it work. And I feel that, you know, raising four daughters, , it's no small feat. , having seven grandchildren and being the hands-on kind of person that I am is no small feat.
, I've been married my second marriage for 24 years. That is no small feat. , but I can say the one thing that, , has kept me going is resilience.
Shannon: Now, would you recommend taking a leap into a big life change to your best friend?
Lynnis: Yes, because I did it and I would not recommend to her anything that I haven't done before.
It's interesting because within this big leap have been all these other leaps of new things to do and I'm facing one right now and I keep putting off, keep putting it off. But, many times when you hesitate about things like that, it's never as bad as you think it's going to be. I have a pool in my backyard with a diving board, which is unusual because they don't make pools with diving [00:23:00] boys in California anymore.
Every single season when I first go into the pool for the first time and get on that diving board, I'm like, uh oh. You know, I haven't done that a thousand times before, but once I get in there and jump in, like, Ooh, that was invigorating. Let's do it again. And that's very much how it is when it's coming to a lifestyle change.
Just go for it and more than likely it's going to be okay. It's never as bad as we envision. And once you've done it, you have so many key learnings and you get the motivation, the mojo. Keep doing it again, you know, go a little bit further. So I'm all for that. Taking that leap.
Shannon: I think you just answered my next question, which is, what's one piece of advice you would give to someone, but is it just take that leap or what do you think?
Lynnis: Take that leap and then give yourself grace. I believe in giving grace. I haven't always been kind to myself. In fact, my, my friends and my therapist, remind me of that. Give yourself grace. If you don't do it, who else is going to do it? It [00:24:00] can be very toxic if you're not graceful with yourself, if you're constantly beating up on yourself, constantly pointing out what's wrong and everything else.
And if you are, are unfortunate, 'cause some women have, situations where they're living with someone who can't wait to point out. What they did wrong. Point out, what's not quite right or making wise cracks about what you do, or just basically belittling you, you think, well, who lives in that situation?
But let's be honest. A lot of us have or do for whatever reason. That's all the reason why you need to give yourself grace and surround yourself in a community of women that can pour back into you, because sometimes it's hard to give grace because you're feeling so bad about yourself as a result of maybe some successes that you didn't have, but also this other voice that's outside of you.
And as you grow and giving yourself grace, you begin to start making decisions about, okay, how much longer am I gonna allow that? To take up real estate in my mind, and it's never too late to decide, you know what, I'm not. That's it. I'm done. [00:25:00] Whatever that means for you. I think a lot of women have compromised.
When it comes to what they allow to be said to them, and in some cases, God forbid, done to them, but regardless of what's going on out there, let's face it, we know it's a new day. We know we do not have to put up with that kind of treatment any longer, but it starts, first of all, with recognizing how valuable you are and giving yourself grace.
Mm.
Shannon: So beautifully said. So Lynnisis, what else is next for you? What's your next act?
Lynnis: Well, I'm giving myself two years and then at 70, um, we're planning on spending time, some time abroad, if we're still welcome.
Shannon: Yeah, really.
Lynnis: Fingers crossed. , but we wanna live abroad and, , I want to either sell my business or have my daughter's take over. Part of it, I, if I sell my [00:26:00] business, I always will be involved, but I probably will go to another level doing something else that's not as hands on with what I'm doing right now.
And maybe doing it in another country, but still impacting women globally. So I'm still gonna be doing something just maybe doing it a little differently.
Shannon: Well, I've just so enjoy this conversation and I feel like we could talk forever, all day, but where can the audience connect with you?
Where do you want them to find you?
Lynnis: , the best way to find me is to go to my website@vibewellnesswoman.com. That's vibe wellness woman.com. And there you'll find all of my social media. You'll get a chance to see the contributors read our blog, take a look at the podcast, and hopefully join the membership and really get blessed with great information and community to help you to stay well in your mind, body and spirit.
Do you know what VIBE stands for? My Brand Vibe. Do you know what it stands for? No. Tell us. Vibrant, intuitive, beautiful, and empowered. And that's what I believe all women should be 40 and [00:27:00] beyond. We should be vibrant. We should definitely be using that wisdom and intuition, and we should have that beauty that radiates from the inside out.
And we need to feel empowered to live the kind of life that we wanna live.
