In today's fast-paced world, where the demands of career and family often pull us in different directions, it's more important than ever to be intentional in our actions and decisions. Being intentional means consciously directing our energy and focus towards the things that matter most to us – whether it's advancing in our careers, nurturing our relationships, or simply finding moments of joy and gratitude in our daily lives.

At the heart of being intentional lies gratitude – the practice of acknowledging and appreciating the blessings, both big and small, that enrich our lives. By cultivating a mindset of gratitude, we not only become more resilient in the face of challenges but also open ourselves up to a greater sense of fulfillment and abundance.

In business, being intentional means setting clear goals and priorities, and aligning our actions with our values and vision. It involves making deliberate choices about how we allocate our time, resources, and energy, ensuring that we're investing in activities that move us closer to our objectives.

But being intentional isn't just about achieving success in our careers – it's also about creating a sense of harmony and balance in our lives. That means being mindful of the impact our professional pursuits have on our personal relationships and well-being, and taking proactive steps to nurture those aspects of our lives that bring us joy and fulfillment.

In today's episode, Judy and Dave Resseguie talk about being present, prioritizing and putting others first...and that is in both aspects of our lives. It's about living with purpose and integrity, and embracing each day with a sense of gratitude and intentionality.

There are some remarkable journeys of women in business who defy societal norms and prove that age is an asset, not a limitation. Women are rewriting the script on success, proving that age is a catalyst, not a hindrance as more and more female entrepreneurs shed light on the wealth of knowledge and resilience that comes with experience. Judy and Maureen share their experiences that success knows no age limit.
