Anger can have negative connotations. But is that fair? As humans, we experience all kinds of emotions, and anger is just an emotion that can be a habit or can be suppressed, or it can be unpredictable.

In this episode private counselor and social worker, Sarah Loverdi talks about the benefits of anger, and why we hate to love it.

Anger is not all good or bad, and there can be a place for it. It can also control us if we are not careful. Midlife women can get angry at aging, and dwell in the past. This is an example of choosing to stay angry instead of making a change. Once again this is a story that one may choose to believe or not. It is certainly true that we cannot take back our youth, but we can live healthy regardless of our chronological age.

How do you picture your future life? Do you want to be the person who is slowly dying, in pain, and watching life from the sidelines? Or do you wanna be the person who has gusto and who lives life on her own terms until the very last moment? I think we can all agree that we'd like to actually live our life on our own terms until the very last breath. And if that's how you feel then you're going to want to know about these three taboo habits to avoid for better longevity. It's no surprise that how you behave now has a direct impact on the quality of life you will have in the future, and so making sure to avoid these three taboo behaviors is like buying an insurance policy for a better quality of life. I like to share my perspective that midlife starts whenever you think it starts and it lasts until you take your very last breath. In other words, it's up to us to lay out a plan that will yield us a great quality life for the remainder of our time. The source of these three taboos is from an extensive review of best practices for living well from numerous sources. These are the common denominators that surfaced most often.

Today our guest is sharing a very sensitive story for the very first time in public. It begins with a young lady who doesn't even drink in college and later turns into an alcoholic stemming from 'mommy happy hours' The challenge of facing this in midlife and during a pandemic is just too important not to share.

Heather plans to continue sharing her journey with a podcast of her own. Stay tuned for more information. Follow heather on Instagram @Heathermdanby

This is the week (End of January beginning of February) Where New Year's resolutions most often become a forgotten promise. It is the time when the excitement of a new goal has worn off and the new behaviors are just so damn hard. For midlife and Gen X people women, who have experienced this willpower failure, over numerous years, this can feel like major defeat.

Why does our willpower fail and what can we do? In this episode, I dive into some research and explain the 5 reasons why willpower fails us and what we can do to overcome the willpower challenges and make new behaviors stick.

This is episode is going to help you understand how to set yourself up for better sustainable habits.

She literally lived in that Devil wears Prada world and witnessed firsthand unrealistic standards of beauty and weight put upon women. Gen X women and eve nthe baby boomers have experienced this first hand. This distorted version of normal has carried over to the fitness world as well. We went deep on the expectations the beauty and weight loss industry has put out there for midlife women, and how trainers have a responsibility to help women understand that thin is not always healthy.

Stress has become an epidemic. And at the holidays any emotions we are experiencing are magnified, says guest and counselor, Paula Griffin. So naturally, when perfectionism rears its ugly head, we end up stressing out because we haven't created our perceived perfect holiday. Hindsight is 20/20, and we can learn from reflecting on our holiday expectations. Many of the stories we believe about celebrating the holidays end up making us feel stressed instead of truly enjoying the holiday season.

One of the tools that Paula discusses to manage this stress comes from a book we discussed in our book club. Loving What Is, by Byron Katie. Katie talks about how we can always question what we perceive to be true. It may be true or may not. A story we believe, such as one where holidays need to be a re-enactment of a Norman Rockwell image, may actually lead us down a stressful path if we perceive our holiday experience to be subpar comparatively. As midlife women, we can rewrite our holiday expectations and set ourselves up for a more relaxing experience with our loved ones. When the next holiday rolls around, how do you want to look back on it?

"To challenge aging, an entire world view must be challenged." (Deepak Chopra) Because nothing holds more power over the body than beliefs of the mind.

If you're teetering on how to decipher what you can and cannot control when it comes to midlife health and fitness, then this talk is going to profoundly affect your current world. This talk appeared originally on Instragam live. My dear friend and guest Lisa King and I talk candidly about our own realizations in our 6th decade and beyond, and how Deepak Chopras best selling book "Ageless Mind Timeless Body" published in 1993 was truly ahead of its time. We touch on stress, being one with the universe, meditation, and even intermittent fasting. It goes way beyond having great genetics, exercising, and eating well.

Check back next and every Tuesday for a new episode of the Air Hug Community podcast.
