How to Thrive in Midlife with Anissa Buckley, Founder of B-Untethered

If you are looking for inspiration and insights to thrive in midlife this episode is for you!  Kristel Bauer sat down with Anissa Buckley, the founder of B-untethered to discuss embracing change and growth in midlife as well as insights to navigate perimenopause and menopause. Tune in now! Key Takeaways from This Episode Tips for embracing change and growth in midlife Insights to help you find fulfillment Dietary changes that may be helpful when going through menopause and perimenopause What kind of exercise is helpful during perimenapause and menapause About Anissa Buckley MBA, CHHC, CPT: Anissa Buckley has gone from Fortune 500 marketer to successful entrepreneur with 2 exits to global endurance adventurer, always using her passion for optimal wellness as a guide. Her latest venture is b-untethered, a company dedicated to helping women maximize their midlife through a science-based, proprietary food, fitness, and exploration app and program. Prior to b-untethered (2020), Buckley developed the grocery retail industry’s leading nutrition database, healthyAisles™ which scores grocery items for health claims. Vestcom International acquired Buckley’s company in 2007. She then spent 8 years as Vice President of health and wellness at Vestcom advising 30 top U.S. grocery and drug retailers on health & wellness strategies. Here, Buckley negotiated a SuperValu and Harvard medical affiliate partnership to co-develop one of the first retail nutrition programs: Nutrition IQ™, which was featured in The Wall Street Journal for its innovative approach. In 2011, she was invited to The White House to confer with President Obama’s personal chef and the first lady’s advisor on the Let’s Move program. Before these successes, Buckley sharpened her business skills for 15 years in various marketing and sales positions with Procter & Gamble, Sprint, Reebok and Birds Eye Foods. She additionally cofounded Real Life Food and Fitness — a gym which included fresh 500 calorie meals, HIIT fitness classes and health coaching under one roof. She sold the company in 2015.  In 2014, at age 46, Buckley had a personal transformation as several events occurred within 8 months: Both parents died, her 12-year marriage dissolved and she sold her 2nd business. The situation forced Buckley to reevaluate her goals, which she found is a common event for many in midlife. She decided to pursue her life’s passion of researching the keys to optimal wellbeing, and spent the next 4 years traveling the globe, training for endurance events with a former British pro-cyclist and transitioning to a minimalist lifestyle. B-UNTETHERED Since 2015, Buckley has undertaken physical and mental challenges, and studied lifestyle impact, in an effort to understand how women can age vibrantly through menopause. The culmination of her research is b-untethered, a science-based midlife women’s wellness and adventure business. The company provides women with a proprietary blend of personalized, prescriptive tools, information and support to achieve their best health heading into and out of menopause.

How to Boost Creativity & Well-Being Using Silence with Leigh Marz & Justin Zorn, Authors of Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise

The world is noisier today than it ever has been before, and we're left trying to process this excess of information! Kristel Bauer sat down with Leigh Marz & Justin Zorn on this Live Greatly podcast episode to chat about the power of silence. Leigh & Justin are the authors of their new book, Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise. The same techniques that Justin and Leigh have taught to US Congress, NASA, Harvard and Google can help you reclaim the presence of silence in your life. Tune in to learn about why silence is important, how you can find silence in the busyness of life, how to navigate information overload and so much more! Key Takeaways from This Episode What are the benefits of silence How to find silence in the midst of hectic days Why is all of this excess noise potentially harmful How to get comfortable with silence Insights from the book GOLDEN: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise In their book GOLDEN: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise (HarperWave; on sale: May 17, 2022), Justin Zorn and Leigh Marz invite us to rethink our definition of silence—not just as the absence of noise, but as a presence that can bring us energy, clarity, and deeper connection. The world is louder than ever. It’s not just the noise in our ears, but the noise on our screens and in our heads. With the average person sending/receiving 125 emails a day and with the WHO ranking noise pollution as second only to air pollution in its impact on human wellbeing, it’s clear that modern society has lost its connection to silence. While mindfulness can help us cope with the onslaught of noise, research shows that few people maintain a meditation practice over time. We need more accessible and enduring ways of finding clarity and renewal. Now, the same techniques Zorn and Marz have taught to the U.S. Congress, NASA, Harvard, and Google can help us reclaim the presence of silence in our lives. In GOLDEN, the authors illuminate how through their wide-ranging expertise and moving storytelling, including: • The economics and psychology of why our world is so noisy • The science of why silence is essential for our bodies and minds • Why virtually all the world’s spiritual traditions honor silence as a path to truth • Practical approaches to finding “little moments” of silence as well as deeper immersion • How to find renewing silence in families, among friends, and in workplaces • Building a society that honors silence—including the values of rest and deep listening About Justin Talbot Zorn: Justin has served as both a strategist and a meditation teacher in the US Congress. A Harvard-andOxford-trained specialist in the economics and psychology of human thriving, he has written for the Washington Post, The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review, Foreign Policy, and other publications. Justin is the coauthor of Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise, published by HarperCollins in the US, Penguin/Random House in the UK, and globally in 11 other languages. He is cofounder of Astrea Strategies, a consultancy that bridges contemplation and action, helping leaders and teams envision and communicate solutions to complex challenges. Justin lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his wife and three children. About Leigh Marz: Leigh is a collaboration and leadership coach for major universities, corporations, and federal agencies as well as a longtime student of pioneering researchers and practitioners of the ritualized use of psychedelic medicines in the West. She has led training programs to promote an experimental mindset among teams at NASA and a decade-long crosssector collaboration to reduce toxic chemicals in products, in partnership with Green Science Policy Institute, Harvard University, IKEA, Google, and Kaiser Permanente. Leigh is the coauthor of Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise, published by HarperCollins in the US, Penguin/Random House in the UK, and globally in 11 other languages. She is the cofounder of Astrea Strategies. Leigh lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband and daughter. Buy the book!
