Welcome to Kick Ass Boomers, giving you the motivation and inspiration you need to make the most of your later years. Whether you're still in the planning stages or you're several years in, we'll share stories from boomers who refuse to act their age and continue to live a life inspired. Let them show you how being old can be new if you know what to do. With your host, Terry Lorvier.
SPEAKER_02Hello and welcome to Kick Ass Boomers. My guest today is Sabina Kamenberg. She joins us today to tell us her story through the pages of her new book, Gumption and Memoir. Sabina's story unfolds through intimate storytelling and spiritual insight. Sabina takes people on her transformative journey, one marked by joy, heartbreak, intuition, and bold acts of becoming. What begins as the story of an ordinary woman unfolds into a sacred path of listening deeply, choosing courage, and stepping into the extraordinary. Guided by whispers from within and a deep faith in something greater, Sabina reveals how a life of meaning isn't reserved for celebrities or the chosen few. It's available to anyone brave enough to act on the quiet nudges of the soul. Welcome, Sabina. How are you today? I am fantastic. And thank you for having me. You're welcome. You know, when we met at the uh podcasting conference, I was listening to you taping a little segment. I knew immediately we were going to be great friends. And I went up to you and you were holding a book up. So I was pretty sure you were an author. And I said, Oh, you've got to be on my podcast. Even if you didn't have a book, I'd have you on my podcast as a kick-ass boomers. But the fact that you wrote a book made it even better. So you've led a remarkable life starting in Germany and eventually landing in the United States. Your journey has been one of gumption, and there is no other word to describe the way you have lived your life from a young girl in Germany to the woman you are today. You are indeed an inspiration to all of us baby boomers and women of any age. So, Sabina, tell us your story and what motivated you to write your book.
SPEAKER_01Wow, that's a long story. But let me start by being in Germany. And for me, that time was very important from starting out not knowing what to do, but just following, as you mentioned, my intuition and my heart. When I had to choose a profession, a job, I had no idea. I mean, when you're 16 years old, who knows, right?
SPEAKER_02Who knows? Right.
SPEAKER_01So I listened to the well-meant advice of my dad who said, Sabina, find a job with a good salary and benefits so you can pay your bills and have something left over to pursue your hobbies. By that he meant by acting and singing. Sounded good to me at that time. But you see, if you do something that's not you, then it will reveal sooner or later. And it did for me. I was unsatisfied, gained weight through boredom snacking. And one day, Terry, I still remember like it was yesterday. I found myself staring out of the window at my office and came to the realization, oh my gosh, I cannot do this for the next 40 years. What's mine to do? Ask and you shall receive. That same week, I had a chance meeting with my former drama and music teacher, Mr. Herbst. I remember going down from the subway to my apartment, and so there he was. And I was happy to see him. We after a little chit-chat, he asked me if I was still active with my acting and singing group. My answer was no. And then he said one thing that literally changed my life. He said, Sabina, what a shame. You are so talented. Bam! That woke me up. I said, Yes, he is right. So I I went home and I had no idea how to start a career as an actress, but I started. I looked at the yellow pages, and I guess you still remember the baby boomers, remember the yellow pages. Right, right. It's easy like today. I caught an acting school, I started, I auditioned, had no idea how to, but I got accepted and I never looked back. And that was the first step for me following that intuition, following that calling to pursue my passion and use the talents that I have. And that started a 10-year career as an actress.
SPEAKER_02That's amazing. And you you performed in so many shows in Germany, many of them that I've seen here in the United States, and some of my favorites, like Fiddler on the Roof was actually my very first Broadway show I ever went to. And I think I was only 15. My cousin took me to the theater, my sister and I, she took us both, and I fell in love from then, then on. That that was the best. But I've seen many others, like Ms. is another one you've done. I saw on Broadway. So yeah, you've done so many amazing things.
SPEAKER_01And you said you fell in love with Fiddler on the Roof. I fell in love while in Fiddler on the Roof. There you go. Yeah. So that was that was the beginning. So I had a fantastic career. And so during Fiddler on the Roof, there was there were dancers that came from the United States. So it was really an international crew. It was a European tour. And there was this uh young man, and uh, we had such a great uh relationship. It was a friendship. I taught him English, he no, I taught him German. I have to switch back. He taught you English, he loved English. Well, sometimes it's the opposite way now, right? But, anyways, uh yeah, and uh it started a friendship that we nurtured for two years. I visited him in in the States after we were done, he visited me, and we kept that um beautiful friendship, and then I was just finishing up with Le Miz, and then I had a uh TV in in Hamburg, Germany, but I was just so exhausted. And so we talked one time. I said, I just need to get away, let's go on vacation together. So we did. So we ended up going uh to Jamaica, and the first week we were friends, and the second week we were more than friends. We became uh we became uh lovers, and uh now almost 35 years later, we are still married.
SPEAKER_02Wow, that's fantastic! That's quite a milestone, 35 years. I'm married 53. I went to Germany at 20, met my husband, married him at 21, came back here, and we've it's we're almost 54 years, so long time. Wow, you are way ahead of me. But 37 is great. That's a wonderful.
SPEAKER_01The first two years we were not married, but yeah, we know each other for some time. Yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So then how did you wind up? You still stayed in Germany, or did you go immediately to the United States after you got married?
SPEAKER_01Uh no, I did not. The matter of the fact is, my now husband, Michael, came to Germany first because he was done with what he was doing, had no other engagement, and I was supposed to do a TV show, so I couldn't go. So he bought his one-way ticket. And then we uh stayed together. We got married in the States, and then we started working as directors for a Swiss company, and we traveled the world producing shows, but after a while it got tiring, and we never saw each other, and sometimes we had to wave out of the airplane. So we decided it's time to settle down, and that's when we decided to start our own business, and that was let's do it in the United States. So now I bought myself a one-way ticket to the United States, and yeah, that's how we started with nothing else but some credit cards we had, and the passion in our heart to pass on the love for the performing arts to a new generation. Yes, and we started very small, and I go in details uh in my book about that journey as well. And yeah, that that lasted, and our business grew, and we we helped uh aspiring performers to get their start in the entertainment industry. We had an agency for some years, and in that capacity, I wrote my first book called Secrets on How to Succeed in Showbiz. And the reason why I did that, uh uh Terry, was I realized talent is not everything. Why are some people successful and others not? They're equally talented, and then I realized that it's so much more, it's the mindset, it's your attitude, your goal setting, how you plan. And I put this all in writing. First, it started out as a workbook for my students, and then I turned it into a book, and then that led me to another book because I started speaking on different stages that the audience had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, but wanted to have a book. Right. And I only had secrets on how to succeed in Showbase. So then I thought, well, the first part is super important, and that led me to my second book called Unlock Your Full Potential 10 Easy Steps to Live the Life You Imagine.
SPEAKER_03Oh, wow.
SPEAKER_01Um and as a German, I'm a very practical person. You might know that, right? Rami has been. So I always know you got to put things right away into action. So I had after each chapter an action step. Everybody, fill it out, do A, B, C, and then go to the next chapter. So that was my second book. Right. And yeah, that got me started in the book writing um profession, so to speak.
SPEAKER_02Right. Wow. And I know one thing we have in common, like you met Zig Ziggler. I went to several talks by him, but I never actually went up and talked to him on stage. So I didn't get to personally meet him, but he was great. I loved him. Actually, the reason I started this podcast was I always wanted to be a public speaker like him and inspire other people. On, you know, back then it was in sales because I was in sales most of my life. So um he really inspired me. And that was always what I wanted to do, but I had four children, I had to send them to college, and it just never came about. It was difficult. If you wanted to do that type of business back then, you needed a lot of money to get started. So then later on, as I got older, the kids were out the house, and I started listening to podcasts. I said to myself, I can do this. This is easy. And I love talking to people, I even love inspiring people, and I knew there were lots of baby boomers out there with stories to tell and no place to tell them. So that's how I came about starting kick-ass boomers. But it was through like people like Zig Ziggler.
SPEAKER_01Yes, and isn't that so true? We all have people that inspire us. You are a very inspiring person, Terry. And uh this is the same thing for me. I was inspired by so many mentors, and Zig Ziegler, as you mentioned, was one of those, and so many others in between. But when I started my online business, more or less, it got started through Brandon Bouchard. 15 years ago, 13 years ago, maybe, uh, I read his Millionaire Messenger, and it just struck a chord in me. I said, Yes, I have so much that I can teach. And when I first started out, I still had my school and the agency. So I was all in that business. Right. And I remember I started my uh I started a magazine, and I called it tough too. Woo! Yes, I called it the actor's spotlight. And uh that was when the the Apple first came out with like the magazine stands within the app, and it was all new, and I had no clue, no idea how to do it, but there was a course out there with videos, and then you just click the video, you watch it, and then you click this button, and then this this button. This is literally how I started out. Wow, and for one year I had this magazine, I was a one-woman show, I was the editor, I was the curator of the the uh uh uh content, I did the interviews, I did the artwork, a distribution, I did everything, and it was not profitable. I mean, I made pennies on the dollars that I spent, right? Yeah, but what it did for me, it started that process. I learned so much. I learned how to create the artwork. I learned so, so much. And sometimes people forget that. When they see a person, oh my gosh, she or he is so successful, look at that, an author or whatever. Right, they forget or they don't see the path to it. That's how I got started, and that led me to another and to another, and then after I sold my studio, I knew I could not retire. That's just not me. And I'm passionate about what I do, right? So I wanted to help entrepreneurs, business owners to confidently communicate, to speak eloquently, to have a stage presence either on video like this, or on a physical stage. And I also wanted to share all the wisdom that I had. And that's how I began, and that led me to my podcast called Become Empowered, and I started that to inspire people. And I share interviews some other solo episodes, but also interviews from individuals from all walks of life, how they went through those valleys and heights, right? And how they overcame challenges and came out on the other side as their next greater self. Because that is what it what life is all about, is for me, it's to to grow. And that led me to write my third book, which was a copulation of stories. Uh, as you mentioned, you know, I'm also known as the storytelling dame from Germany, right? Because that's that's what I do. I tell stories. And then I realized how powerful stories are. And that's what I do now. I work with with individuals to extract their signature story. I help them craft it and help them get their business off the ground.
SPEAKER_02And and entrepreneurs really need that because they don't always know how to present themselves in a good light. And with your acting background, you've got it all. So you can help them with so many different facets of it. So, and it's important, it's it's very important how you put yourself out there. And entrepreneurs don't always know how to do that, and that could be a big block on them being successful.
SPEAKER_01Yes, yes. And that is another thing. I just had a conversation earlier with someone, and I also realized where I am now. I spoke with a lot of clients, and yes, so I can give them the signature talk, I can give them the stage presence, and they can present themselves, but there's more to it. And especially in the time that we live in, there are so many now coaches out there, and it gets that field gets more crowded as we move along with AI taking away uh jobs. So now we have to start thinking about yes, on one side, it's easier to start your online business and be a coach and whatnot or a speaker, but at the same time, it gets harder because now we have to compete with more people. So here's the thing: what makes the difference for someone to hire you over someone else? It's how you stand out of the crowd, and that's why I'm specializing in. I help people step up into the spotlight. And how do we do this? It's more than the spoken word, it's also how you appear. How are your images? How do you appear on social media? How do you what's your website look like or your landing page? You have to speak to person to people, not just when you are live, either on video or on stage, but also in your materials, how you show up, how are your pictures, does what the text on your website is in alignment with what you do? So there's so many intricate things that we have to think about. And oftentimes when you are working on your own, you don't see it. I even have coaches, right? Even though I know what to do, but sometimes you need an outside person with a bird's eye view to say, look at this. And I never thought that.
SPEAKER_02So you do, and then you know, everybody has coaches, like anyone that makes it to the Olympics has had a coach get them there. Tony Robbins has his own coaches, and look how famous he is, and he coaches how many other people, but he has a coach. So you're right. There's things we're not going to pick up on our own that a coach can see immediately when they're there working with you. And my one daughter actually started coaching my other daughter because she my my second daughter was kind of stuck in her job and didn't really know what to do. My older daughter is a fabulous coach, so she started coaching her, and little by little she did better and better at work, got promotions, and then she just switched jobs and got a fabulous job. At age 50, she just turned 50. And you know how difficult it is once you're 50 and over. Then you really have to stand out. It gets harder. It gets hard. Yes, you can do it, but you have to know what you're doing.
SPEAKER_01Yes, and I'm so glad that you said that because oftentimes people think, oh, now I'm 50, I'm 60, I'm 70, whatever age. Right. I can't do this anymore. And that is not right, that's not correct. That's not right. No, you are absolutely wrong because you can do anything at any age if you put your mind and heart to end. Now, let me just retract a little bit. Of course, there are physical limitations, right? I understand that too.
SPEAKER_02Right.
SPEAKER_01I cannot do what I've done when I was 20, although sometimes I do more now than I was 20. But that's amazing, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but I'm um I was think talking more from the mindset. And if you want to start a new business, if you want to become a coach, an author, if you want to write a book, right? You have to have gumption. Yes, you have to have gumption. So now we are right at that that that question that you ask at the beginning. Why why did you write that? And it's a funny story, like with everything.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_01I did not meant to write my memoir yet. Yet I I had it in the back of my mind, right? But at not this time at Podfest, but last year at Podfest, I was interested. I was interviewed by a wonderful lady, and she came to me and she said, Sabine, you need to write a book. And then I chuckled because I already wrote three books. So I told her I already wrote three books. She said, No, no, no, no. You don't understand. You have to write your story, your memoirs. Right. And I was like, I was a little taken. So I go, wow, okay, let me think about it. And I always followed my intuition, and the universe always guides me. I'm open to that. And it guided me at that time as well. And Podfest was a New York publisher. And there was a sign said, hey, pitch your book and we give you feedback. I didn't have a book, but I said to myself, well, why not ask? So I told her what happened and what she thought of it. So I shared two snippets of my stories that I also share in the book now. And after I was done, there was silence.
unknownI don't know.
SPEAKER_01Was it bad? And and her reply was later on, I learned she was the director of publishing. She said, You know, you're a good storyteller. But I have to tell you, when you told me this story, I I had to hold back my tears. And then she said, You have to write this book. And now, 12 months later, it's done.
SPEAKER_0212 months. That's really good. That was fast. But you had so many other experiences along the way that helped you. So 12 months is really fast, from what I understand.
SPEAKER_01Yes, yes, it is, indeed. And uh I must say it took me a while to get started, and then I had a while where I didn't do anything. Like with everybody else, I love you get then to a point like, is this good? Does anybody even want to read it? Who am I to say this? Right? All those limiting uh beliefs coming to the surface. We all have them right now. I do know how to overcome it more quickly, but I also understand we all have it. But I mean we met at Podfest, and I gave you the book, yes, and you got in touch with me just a couple of weeks ago and said, I finished your book, and I you know, and I'm like, okay. So from a person we've never met before, just no, no, Podfest was the first, and that was what, January? Right, right. Yeah. So, and now I want to ask you. I mean, you shared a little bit with me what it meant, and but it gave me the confirmation. I think it was the right, the right point. And I just want to ask you to tell me what was your impression or your feed, what's your feedback?
SPEAKER_02I love the book because it was storytelling, like you had stories going way back to childhood, things that we could probably all relate to. Some of us maybe made the wrong decisions and we think, wow, she did the right thing. I didn't have the courage to do that. I wish I had. But reading it, then next time, may even though I'm 75, I have a lot of life to live. I'm not afraid to still keep me. I mean, I just moved from Pennsylvania down to Florida because I knew I had to make a change and it was a difficult move. It was a lot of work because we had a big house. My husband was in the construction field for 50 years, so we had a lot of stuff to get rid of before we could move down here. It wasn't easy, but I knew I had to do it. So I did it. So, reading your story, I was relating to a lot of the things along the way. And it's funny because I went to Germany for one year, met my husband, married him in Germany, and brought him back here. You met your husband in Germany and got married in the United States. It's just so odd. But so we have a lot in common. But some of my classmates look at me and go, oh my God, Terry, you've had such an exciting life. Um, and they're afraid, they're stuck, they don't know what to do. But I I want baby boomers to know, even if you were stuck in the past, you don't have to still be stuck. There's so much we can do as baby boomers with technology. Now, I couldn't be doing a podcast like this without the newer technology. You go on Zoom and you know, I can talk to anyone anywhere in the world. I interviewed someone in Russia, people in Australia, people in Germany. I mean, I interviewed people all over the world. I couldn't do that maybe 20 years ago. So, but the technology makes so many things available to us. I interviewed a woman recently who quit her job at 65. She had to decide, am I going to retire now or am I going to wait and maybe work another 10 years and then retire? And she said, nope, I'm going to retire now. She became a documentary filmmaker, had no background, no experience, said, This is what I want to do, and just figured it out. She figured it out and she is doing so well. She's now on her second documentary film and she's doing phenomenal. So we can do it. We just it starts up here. You have to believe in yourself. Yes, you have to believe you can do it, and then the knowledge is out there. Go out and find it and ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely right. Yeah. So that's what I want boomers to know. I mean, I have a lot of boomers that I interview that are writing books. They're either memoirs, some of them write fiction. They've always wanted to write a book of fiction and just never got it started. And now that they're retired, they're like, I'm gonna write it now. So they're writing their books, they're they're making documentaries, they're uh opening businesses, some of them start making jewelry. You know, you have to do what feels good for you. What is your path? It's different for everyone. I've always loved talking. I can remember I used to do payroll for a company called ADP. And in between, we would stand up and talk, and I would say, I love talking. And they would laugh at me and they go, We know Terry, sit down and shut up. Yeah. So I mean, that was always with me. It was a threat. Even in high school, I tried out for speaking. Um, the uh a speaking part, I was in our school play, but I had a very small part. But I I tried out for another speaking part, even in high school. So it's been with me forever, and I just didn't grab onto it until I was 70. So, you know, you can do it anytime. 70 is when I started my podcast. So anybody can do it, and that was what I felt was really me. So it's never too late. You're never too late. Right. Right, right, right. Yes. So, do you have one last um um bit of advice for someone who maybe is struggling thinking, maybe I am too old or I can't do it, or what advice do you have for them?
SPEAKER_01I can echo what I just said earlier. You can start no matter where you are, no matter who you are, you can start anytime. No matter who you are, no matter what you are, no matter what you have started now to make the change to what you always wanted to do. The higher power will show you the how.
SPEAKER_02And I so agree with the higher power, and that's another thing not everyone grabs on to. But I've told all my kids over the years listen to your intuition. It's a tiny small voice, and sometimes you think, oh my God, that's crazy. Listen to it because it will never lead you astray. And I have listened over the years, but I know so many people who don't, they just think that's nothing. But our higher power will put us on the right path if we let it have to let it, right?
SPEAKER_01Be open, be open to it, be open to it. And even if you don't know the how yet, yes, you don't need the how. No, just maybe why. What is it? What is it that you want? And then just put it out there, like what I did uh as as a claim adjuster working for an insurance company, right? Right. That and and I said, Oh, I cannot do this. What's mine to do? The answer comes days later, maybe even weeks later, who knows? And then just take one step. It doesn't matter how small, how big, just take one step towards something that you want, and then the next thing appears, and then the next thing. So live without regrets.
SPEAKER_02Totally agree. That's one thing you don't want to have on your deathbed is regrets. You want to make sure you we all have a purpose here, and some of us are living it and some of us aren't, but it's never too late. So grab on to that purpose, find out what it is, find your voice, and move ahead. Now, that being said, where can my boomer nation find your book? Because I think that will inspire a lot of people when they listen to your story that think, uh, maybe I can do something. So, where can they find your book? And um, so that they can be inspired.
SPEAKER_01Sure. So, my book, the official release date is August 4th. It's now available for pre-order. You can order anywhere in the world where you your favorite bookstore. If you're here in the United States, uh, you can go to Barnes Nobles. And if you do that, and here is one thing I wanted to give your listeners. Uh you just send me a screenshot of your receipt, and I will, and you send it to my email, Sabine at Sabinekwenberg.com. I'm sure you put all that information in the show. Um, I will give you access to the Advanced Reader's copy, and that is um at the e-version of it, so you can read it in advance. And you mentioned a documentary. Uh, I am uh doing a documentary myself about the whole process of how to become an author. What are the first steps, then how to market it? And I have a um on my YouTube channel, I do a Saturday live, and you're gonna be on there as well. I am because you read the book, and I want to talk about different topics because there is so much wisdom in it and guidelines and a topic that specifically interests someone. Yes, so the readers or the advanced readers can become part of the documentary if they choose to. You don't have to by all means, right? But if you choose to, but if you choose to, so I invite everybody to also tune into my uh YouTube channel. So watch our interview that we're going to have here very soon. And yeah, and then you can, of course, if you want to learn more about what I do, just my name, Sabine Kavenberg.com. And I even have a resource page you can go to and yeah, so just get in touch with me. I I'll if you Google my name, I'm the only one that comes up.
SPEAKER_02And boomers mainly listen to this broadcast, this podcast, but I want them to know this is a great book to share with your younger members because when they see what Sabina did, and she had a lot of a lot of hardships along the way. It wasn't easy, a lot of uh roadblocks came up, but she got around them and she knew what to do, and the next door opened for her. So, this is a great book for younger women, younger men too, that they can read and say, Oh, I can still do it. You know, it's it's funny. My brother, when he was 37 years old, thought life was over at 37. So, and I think there's a lot of people out there like that. They're they're just they just think life has passed them by and it hasn't. It hasn't. And who didn't Kentucky Fried Chicken? I think he started his business when he was in his 60s. Yes, so it really is never too late. So, this book is very inspirational and it's really fun to read. It's not like a typical book of inspiration, it's just very fun to read, and yet you're inspired all along the way. So I really encourage everyone listening to go out, go to Barnes and Noble, pre-order the book, and then, like Sabina said, um, send her uh the receipt and she'll send you the ebook so you can start reading it ahead. Why not? It's really fun. And then there's gonna be a lot of book signings in the area. Hopefully, we'll have one right here in the villages at the Barnes and Noble. So anyone in the Florida area that's listening can come to that. And oh, there's gonna be a lot of exciting things. So, how exciting is that? It's exciting. Exciting, it's very exciting. So, I mean, anybody can do it's all mindset, it's mindset, you know, with no matter what you're doing. And I had cancer when I was 66, and I knew right away that mindset was an important part to overcoming it. So, mindset is is part of everything we do, and it's got to be positive, and you always have to be looking for the positive thing to do, even when I was sick and I couldn't do much. As I started getting out and exercising again and walking, I was listening to podcasts, and that's when the idea came to me. You can start a podcast. Now I was just recovering from cancer, my hair had fallen out. I used to be blonde like you, but it fell out. And I said, you know what? I'm leaving it gray because I'm gonna do a podcast about boomers. So gray hair is fine, but you know, so that cancer brought me to my podcast. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten to the podcast otherwise. You you go through these bad situations sometimes because they open the door to something else. So yeah, yeah, very important.
