Badass Midlife

Do you feel like you sometimes complain or have the same disagreement over and over again with certain people in your life? Do you have a "conflict pattern" in your relationships? Most relationships do, but recognizing these points can help break you out of that pattern.

Over 80% of women over 50 say they feel negatively toward their bod. Not shocking, really. There are so many reasons why women in midlife get to this, and its impact can be really crappy. In this episode we talk about the how, the why, and the let's move on from- negative body image.

"You wouldn't care so much about what others think if you realized how seldom they do" -Eleanor Roosevelt.

Do you struggle with wondering  what "people" will say about things YOU do? We're talking about why on today's episode.

Here's something I wish I'd understood sooner- 

"You wouldn't care so much about what others think of you, if you realized how seldom they do"-Eleanor Roosevelt

So true, but why can it sometimes be so hard to overcome the idea of the collective "they" that creeps into your beliefs? Let's dig into that.

Friends... are you noticing this weird phenomenon? It seems like we're all a little bit too serious for our britches these days. Well, I for one want it to stop, and I'm wondering if you do too.

I have a few pearls of wisdom I'd like to share on this episode.

You may have heard of "The Five Love Languages", the must-read book by Gary Chapman. Today, I want to explore how this very interesting communication style can help us not just with our significant other, but in other areas of our lives as well.

Enjoy!

Nearly 30 years ago, Gary Chapman wrote the groundbreaking book "The Five Love Languages" to help couples identify that the reason they may be struggling is because they may not be communicating in the right "language" to their partner. I got this all wrong in the beginning, maybe you did too. But here's something else I learned.

Being vulnerable isn't as easy as it sounds. It's been such a buzz word lately, and though it doesn't seem like something we would try to avoid, we do. Midlife is the perfect time to find that lucky person that you can be vulnerable with. It's not always fun, but it's always helpful. Go on, you can do it.

Yep, there's plenty to moan and groan about in midlife as our bodies, minds, and spirit make some shifts, but I recently discovered there are some pretty badass things that can ONLY happen when you have lived long enough to experience them. 

That's right friend...new podcast name. There's an interesting little story around it, and I want to loop you into it! One more midlife 'reboot'!
