Doing Different with Kimmie Ep. 38 Cindy DiPrisco Lopez a writer, blogger, journaling workshop leader, and a woman who decided that midlife wasn’t an ending… it was an invitation


 
Welcome back to Doing Different with Kimmie, the podcast where we explore the stories of women who choose to rewrite the script, reclaim their voice, and step boldly into the next chapter of their lives.

Today’s guest is someone who embodies that spirit beautifully — Cindy DiPrisco Lopez.

She’s a writer, blogger, journaling workshop leader, and a woman who decided that midlife wasn’t an ending… it was an invitation. She always was a late bloomer, so she feels midlife at 50 was just about right for her.

Engulfed by her own midlife burnout and her chronic health issues from birth, she realized taking care of everyone else was stealing her health and her joy.


Cindy has written "When The Clock Strikes Midlife;" It's Your Turn to Shine is an interactive weekly journal that will cultivate your midlife awakening with its inspiring and motivating exercises:
52 Original Quotes and Affirmations to inspire you and clarify your thoughts.

Thought-provoking writing prompts to motivate you to act.
Insightful poems to contemplate and find meaning in their message.
Therapeutic coloring pages to relax your brain and reduce anxiety.
'52 Adventures' Idea Board to ignite joy and purpose in your (mid) life.

Read it
Speak it
Write it
Color it

Doing Different with Kimmie Ep. 35 Joyce Kelly speaks about Building a Life That Won't Quit

https://youtu.be/TbK7aS7bg9I


Joyce Kelly is a woman whose life reflects resilience in motion. After losing her husband to a long and courageous battle with cancer, she found herself standing in the wreckage of deep grief — and choosing, day by day, to build what she calls a life that won’t quit. In the years since, Joyce has rebuilt her footing with honesty, grit, and a steady hope that has moved thousands. Her journey has inspired a series of events that led Matthew West and Leanna Crawford to write a song based on her and her husband’s story — a reminder that every one of us needs to stand on truth when life’s storms hit. Today, Joyce walks alongside women who are navigating their own hard seasons, helping them anchor themselves to what’strue, even when the ground feels shaky. What people remember most about herisn’t just her story — it’s her steadiness, her transparency, and her rare ability to hold both pain and hope at the same time. Joyce's ministries include: Resilient Hope – Building A Life That Won’t Quit; Joyce helps other women build a life that won’t quit and stand on that truth. Iamfreedomgirl : Bringing the love and hope of Jesus to strip clubs in Tampa, Florida Kelly is in the process of becoming a certified trauma-informed coach and has a book she has co-written with her team, Iamfreedomgirl called : You are Seen, You are Loved, You are Cherished. To win a free copy of the book, be the first to like and share this episode and comment on what touched you the most that Joyce shared. Then send me an email with your address, and Joyce will send you the book.
