A Certain Age

Did you know that a regular walking practice can increase your brain size? Mind blown! Walking can also improve your bone health, reduce depression, high blood pressure and stress, and add years to your life. Today's show covers all things walking—where, when, and how often—with Joyce Shulman of 99 Walks and Jetti Fitness. A life-long walking enthusiast, Joyce is on a mission to bring the health and lifestyle benefits of walking to one million women. We get into the myth of 10,000 steps, walking classes and indoor walking, and the power of delayed gratification.

Faced with an emptying nest, stay-at-home mom Suzanne Stavert went from daily crying jags to a life of adventure as a travel writer, culinary explorer, travel podcast host, and the creator of the multimedia platform Adventures of Empty Nesters. We cover the sadness (and opportunity) of empty-nesting, why midlife is the right time to launch a small business and post-pandemic travel. If you are itching to pack a suitcase, want off-the-beaten-path ideas for your next trip, or are craving inspiration for turning a passion into a second-act career, this show is for you.

Are you a skincare junkie? Meet beauty industry pro, Celeste Lee of Caire Beauty, who hit midlife and said enough is enough—too many of the big-brand skincare products on the market are designed to make women feel like crap about their skin, instead of truly addressing the challenges of maturing skin. Celeste co-founded Caire Beauty, after decades in the beauty industry, to address the needs of menopausal skin where it really counts, on the dermal level. We cover how to care for “grown-up” skin, potent ingredients that treat dry skin and fine wrinkles, the power of Gua Sha, and the special challenges of treating irksome adult acne. Bonus! Listen to the end when Celeste shares a special offer for A Certain Age listeners you won't want to miss!

 When life knocked Wendi Knox down, hundreds of red dragonflies lifted her up. Fired at 50 from a job that was her identity, Wendi had a life-changing, storybook run-in that was so transformative, she just couldn't keep it to herself. Wendi wrote and illustrated the inspirational tale From Muck To Magic to share how renewal (and reinvention) is often rooted in the darkest terrain. We cover ideas for finding light in darkness, how to reframe misfortune, and why we need to break free of the “age cage.”
