Turn Awareness into Impact: October’s Leadership Reminder
October is Here! And It’s More Than Just a Change of Leaves
It’s a powerful call to action.
This month holds profound significance, reminding us that kindness, compassion, and focus are never optional. We stand with countless families as October recognizes Awareness Month for vital causes like breast cancer, domestic violence, and Alzheimer’s. These are campaigns that touch our communities and deserve our unwavering attention.
October is more than awareness…it’s a time to embrace action, empathy, and responsibility, honoring causes like breast cancer, domestic violence, and Alzheimer’s that touch so many lives.
The Midweek Momentum & Your Second Act
For those 55 and older, or professionals transitioning from corporate America into our own practices, October serves as a critical reminder: every season is a chance to start fresh, protect what matters, and lead with intention.
And because today is Wednesday, it’s your perfect midweek checkpoint: time to reset your energy, refine your focus, and keep your momentum strong.
🌿 Wellness Tip: Balance & Vitality
The cooling days of October are a cue to prioritize health:
For Women: This is a vital time to stay balanced during life’s transitions—especially menopause. Prioritize movement, hydration, and rest, because your self-care is the foundation for how you show up for your family and work.
For Men: Take your annual health check-ins seriously. Consistent exercise and mindful eating are essential for maintaining energy and vitality for the years ahead.
📚 Featured Book:
40 Chances
by Howard G. Buffett
Today, we feature an extraordinary book that challenges your perspective on time and impact: 40 Chances by Howard G. Buffett, son of legendary investor Warren Buffett.
Buffett shares a powerful, simple truth: we each have about 40 productive years to make a meaningful impact. Drawing from his deep experiences in farming, philanthropy, and global change, this book forces you to think differently about how you use your time, resources, and influence.
You can find this book in our Legacy Library at BeWellnessCenter.shop—a curated collection designed to inspire families and leaders who are building intentional legacies.
💼 Business Corner: Your Evolved Safety Net
When you transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship, you often leave behind the structured safety net of a 401(k) or IRA. But legacy planning doesn’t stop—it evolves.
It is critical to maintain a strategy that protects your future, whether through private retirement accounts, diversified investments, or building your own portfolio. Just as wellness keeps the body strong, savings keep your business and family secure.
Remember: awareness without action doesn’t change lives. The same goes for financial wellness—knowledge matters, but implementation is what secures your second act.

Use today to reset, breathe, and remember—your second act is not about rushing. It’s about choosing what matters most, with clarity and intention.
Have a great day,
Tawnie
