Act 2... Now What?

It’s great to be able to use modern technology and social media in our day to day lives but there’s nothing like actual physical contact. Our seminars are designed to get back to sharing energy that just doesn’t come through your computer or phone. Many of us rush through our lives and don’t take the time to really connect anymore. Or do something JUST for ourselves. So here’s your chance to show up…for you!

ACT 2…Now What? 3 day workshop series is designed to give women over 50 that needed boost to get on with the NEW phase of their lives. It’s an in your face sort of boot camp with life coaches (ex Broadway Showgirls) who won’t take no for an answer. So there will be much drama (all good) and stories of triumph as only a Showgirl can tell! But you have to be ready to carry your own weight. This is NOT A BOO HOO SESSION. We might give you 15 minutes to get it off your chest and then it will be “OK…SO WHAT…NOW WHAT?!

The workshop is broken into three days. The first two days you meet your ACT 2 coaches, identify your goals, set up your kick start strategy for the week and meet other likeminded women who are ready to make a difference in their lives and the people around them. We discuss those “things” that go on mentally, physically, spiritually and yes sexually (we’re over 50…NOT DEAD!). 

We also have many thought provoking exercises and a “BE FIERCE!” part of the day where we help you release that “inner Leading Lady” in you! The final day is a week later. We discuss how your week progressed as you implemented your ACT 2 strategies and how to move forward and STAY FIERCE!!

ACT 2...Now What? 7 day workshop is designed the same as the three day with the exception of participants being able to have a more hands on experience. The week long seminar gives them a chance to dive deeper into their dreams and goals with the same in your face boot camp experience with their life coaches.

The workshop is broken into four days during the week to give participants a chance to go away, work on their mission and return for feedback. As in the 3 day workshop, their asked to answer the preliminary questions.

BABS wears the title of The Space Tamer, a professional organizer. She is frequently asked how she found her way to this kind of work and her quick response is, "I am a reformed messy-maniac and a stuffologist". Her previous careers have been varied and numerous, ranging from waitressing, office work, running her own promotional business, being a regular guest host (and one of the first) on shopping networks, and an actress and singer, fronting her own Country/rockabilly/blues band. 

How she managed to accomplish all of this is rather miraculous considering the conditions of her living space. A turning point came after a year where everything in her life unravelled and she had not a clue as to what to do next. 

One morning, in her late 50s, she awoke and took a look around at her abysmal living conditions and, in that moment, her need for clarity fueled her desire for a living space that reflected her true self. 

Much to her amazement, in the process of clearing her space, all sorts of new opportunities came knocking, one of them being the request from a couple of friends (after seeing the transformation of her space) to help assist them with clearing, organizing and arranging their space. Babs began to notice that, not only did she seem to have a special gift for this work, but in every case, as each person’s space cleared, their lives also began filling with desired opportunities. Babs is now busier than ever with a life filled with everything she enjoys doing, from Space Taming to acting and singing. She will be the first to say that life is more mysterious and wonderful than we can imagine! We just have to clear the space for the wonder to enter.
