01. Icing and Big Ideas for Midlife

Welcome to the FIRST episode of Mixing Up Midlife, a weekly show for mid-lifers and empty nesters who want to shake up their middle years one challenge at a time.

Each week Terri, a self-described “Boomer by Birth, Millennial at Heart”, and her guests will be tackling their lists of Big Ideas- things they’ve always dreamt of doing or have been curious about trying, but hadn’t had the freedom (or courage) to do. And, they’ll do it with a cocktail in hand! Part reality show, part audio diary and part cocktail hour, join us each week for adventures in midlife!

In this episode we’ll start off with a little Midlife Mixology and we’ll use a Smirnoff Ice in a cocktail.

Recipe: 2oz. Cucumber Vodka 2-3 sprigs each of lemon balm and mint

muddle lemon balm and mint in a cocktail shaker add 2oz. of Cucumber Vodka and shake with ice. Pour over a strainer, into a rocks glass and fill to top with Smirnoff Ice Original Flavor. Garnish with a mint leaf.

What’s Icing anyway and what’s a malt beverage?

Fun and growth can be had at any age, so what’s next and how are you actively planning your forward momentum?

Terri talks about the 5 Big Ideas that she’s willing to tackle. Those 5 ideas are:

1.Taking an Improv class

2. Finding her personal style

3. Going to a conference or dinner by herself

4.Have a professional photo shoot in a public space

5. Start a Podcast

Join us with your own list of Big Ideas challenges and take on Midlife in a fun way!
