In today’s episode our focus is on helping women get their mojo back again, lose weight, feel healthy, energized, and rejuvenated. Life is not over just because you have reached midlife. In fact, it can be fun, joyful and fulfilling. And Lynne is going to share why she  firmly believes life CAN BEGIN at 40.

My guest today is Lynne Wadsworth-the owner and founder of Holistic Health & Wellness, LLC. and curator of the Energized Healthy Women’s Club. She is an AADP Certified Holistic Health practitioner who earned her certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. She is also a Certified Wellness Cooking Instructor. Lynne’s area of expertise involves working with women who are navigating perimenopause/menopause and are tired of the changes they see and experience on a daily basis.

Lynn and I chat about:

• What was your personal experience with migraines and how do they improve?
• You profess to be a "sugar addict." Tell us more about that.
• What has your own experience been with healthy living and how it relates to anti-aging?
• Why do you say that mindset is usually where it begins on the road to health?
• What have your years of experience taught you along life's health journey?

Corrie LoGiudice is a business strategist, coach and a professional keynote speaker.

A 4th generation entrepreneur, Corrie spent over 15 years as SVP of her family’s regional distribution business. Following a series of traumatic, pivotal life events over a span of 5 years including miscarriage, abuse, divorce and suicide loss, she made the difficult decision to step down from her role and go into business for herself.

After starting her company Corrie Lo & Co LLC, within weeks she landed paying clients, and in less than a year she was a TEDx speaker.

No one should feel like a failure for not keeping up.  Overwhelm is actually a positive sign.  It means your strategy needs to be pivoted to accommodate your current reality.

Remember this if you’re constantly stressing yourself out over every decision 

Aside from the decision to become a parent, no other decision you’ll ever make in life has to be permanent.

It's safe to trust your intuition, the timing doesn’t always have to be perfect, and it’s always better to have tried something and it not work out than having not tried and regretting it forever.

• How do you push past fear of failure (and learn to enjoy it!)?
• How do you deal with analysis paralysis?
• Why is it so difficult to recognize your own talents.?
• What are the most effective ways to motivate someone to make a change?

Before becoming a book coach and award-winning publisher, Nancy Erickson had a wide array of business expertise. She formerly worked for both IBM and Oracle Corporations, selling high-end software solutions to Fortune 500 businesses. Faced with a family crisis in 2006, she changed her career direction, went back to school to get a Masters degree in Writing, taught at the university level, and started the award-winning nonfiction publishing house, Stonebrook Publishing.

 In 2011, she developed a step-by-step process to help entrepreneurs, business owners, coaches, and speakers expand their business by writing a nonfiction book that can be repurposed into other revenue-producing products. The book establishes that person as an expert in their field, increases their credibility, helps attract a following, and is the launchpad for expanding their business. Since then, she's helped hundreds of authors achieve their dream and grow their business.

How do we show up in the world? How can I be a mentor when my own life is not where I want to be?

In today's episode we are talking about polishing the gem - self development in midlife  and helping women in midlife towards finding their purpose and sharing it through mentorship.

My guest is Rachel Astarte, an author, holistic psychotherapist, and transformational life coach. She is the author of "Celebrating Solitude: How to Develop and Honor Your Highest Self." She is also the host of the podcast, "Self Talk with Rachel Astarte."

"Self-improvement is not enough; we must be able to give back the gift of our true selves to the world around us. We can do that through mentorship. Younger women are the obvious mentees, and they are so important. But we women in midlife have tremendous gifts to offer society as a whole—simply by having lived our lives."
