Wisdom Well Earned: A Conversation with Sky Bergman
I love being invisible It’s easy.
Going back to the dream I had as a young woman was the best move I ever made. It took time to figure out the path and get over my insecurities. But I went from feeling “stuck” to getting a book deal, becoming a Recording Academy member, and going to the GRAMMYS in 2025. And I am feeling better than ever. It’s not always easy, but feeling a sense of purpose and finding my tribe makes a huge difference. I don’t feel alone anymore. We are in it together! Thanks for the interview.
What a great reminder that going back to a dream, even if it takes time, can lead to such awesome outcomes. I couldn’t agree more about the power of finding your purpose and your tribe.
What stories live in your family’s photo albums? Suzanne Rico’s journey is a powerful reminder that sharing even the hardest stories can heal and connect us. 👉 What story would you want to tell?
I was part of a once a month women's group. 20 years later, & having moved to the other end of the country, we are still supporting each other. Do this!
I'm looking forward to making it a part of my 2025 goals. It sounds like so much fun.
My husband was my mentor❤
It's so nice when the people closest to us can be our biggest supporters!
That was truly a remarkable story
Family needs to visit offen. They are taken care of better if family visits.
I completely agree. You have to be seen and you have to be the advocate for the resident.
Thanks for the information
Dr. Mazza explains a topic that is often confusing and hard to understand. If you or anyone you know has thyroid issues, check out her channel.
Thank you for your story, I definitely feel like that
It's hard to explain those feelings of invisibility. Thank you for watching. It really helps when we feel that we're not alone and we have someone who understands what we're going through.
This interview was a lot of fun. Laurie's crazy humor and honesty about midlife are so refreshing. And we can all use a little snark sometimes, right? So, here's my question for you: If you could give your younger self one piece of advice about aging, what would it be? I'll start. I think I'd tell my younger self, "Holly, embrace every moment. Don't worry so much about the future or dwell on the past. Age is just a number, and the best is yet to come!" Now it's your turn. Share your wisdom in the comments and help others navigate this chapter of life!
Thank you for this. Peri menopause was hell for me! Now that I am done and through menopause I have most definitely become invisible. I went dark for a bit and then picked myself back up. I write in a grateful journal every day, meditate, forced myself to work out 4-5 times a week and got bioidentical hormones which saved my life! I am better than I have ever been and refuse to be invisible. Keep going everyone, one foot in front of the other and we can get there together.
I completely connect with what you're saying. It takes a ton of work and commitment to yourself. Sounds like that's exactly what you're doing. That ‘dark phase’ though can be really tough for so many women-and it's hard sometimes to see your way out. Your strength in picking yourself back up is inspiring.
Powerful and raw! Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled you connected with it!
Wow. This one was hard. But I truly believe that even when the world feels like it’s moved on, we can make choices that help us feel seen again. If you’re ready, I’d love for you to share a moment when you felt invisible and what you did next. Together, we can help each other find a path forward. Thanks so much for watching and sharing!

Very insightful
Glad it was helpful!
I really loved having this conversation with Gail. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode for me was the idea that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. It takes so much courage to share our stories, but the rewards - in terms of healing, connection, and growth - are incredible. I'm working on embracing vulnerability in my own life, and I know it's not always easy. If you're willing, share one small way you're practicing vulnerability this week. I'll be cheering you on!
I think we need to have a really honest talk about our bodies. It’s not always easy to love what we see in the mirror, is it? We're told that weight gain and belly fat are just part of menopause, and we’re supposed to fight tooth and nail to get back to our pre-menopause shape. But… do we really have to feel that way? What if we could learn to embrace - and even celebrate - our menopause body, just as it is? How are you showing your body kindness today?
Interesting new perspectives!
Michelle has such a great message to share. I'm glad you were able to connect with it!
That’s beautiful
let's ignore how certain foods make you look, like too much sugar giving you bad skin. let's talk about how soda destroys your microbiome and how that effects one's mood and energy levels
Such an important topic that is often hard to face
Great Education 👍
One of my favorite Real Wisdom podcasts!
Thanks so much. It's a good reminder to start thinking about your nest being empty before it happens. Have a plan!
Attitude is everything!!!
My 90 yo mom-in-law just started dating!!! And she loves creating whether in the kitchen, craft room or the garden! Lucille is VERY stubborn or as Sky kindly says... determined! She told me she's not afraid to die, she just has too much to do before she does. What an inspiration! You are an inspiration Sky! Thanks Holly for helping Sky & many others spread their important healing work in the world 💜
We should all be as determined as Lucille! And you're right. Sky's message is so important. So happy we get to share it.
So impactful and timely for many of us!
Agreed. Susie's story is really powerful.
Good work. Subscribed!
Thank you!
Holly - thank you so much for the work you do to help mid-life women and for inviting me to share information! So appreciated!
The work that you do is so important because caregivers and their families face so many challenges. It helps to have people like you on their side!
@@joinempart - Thank you!
/there's also reframing.
I've read about reframing. It's all about looking at a tough situation from a brighter angle. It's about spotting the good that might come from a challenge and seeing benefits you might not have noticed before. Hopefully, if someone is suffering from anxiety, they can find a solution that works best for them. Thank you for mentioning reframing.
Dr Marie Claire Haver is the Judy Blume for us!
She is our Judy Blume. I'm really looking forward to her new book!
Angel has inspired me to live in the moment and look for the glimmers!❤
Angel has inspired me too!
Angel has such a great attitude. It was fun getting to know her a little better.
Love these conversations with Holly on Empart!
Thanks, Laura! If there's an expert or topic you'd like to know more about, let me know. I'd love to hear back.
Thank you, Holly, for reaching out to women at this awesome time of life!
I look forward to all the exciting things you have happening! Keep us posted on the book release date. It was really great getting to know you better.
