According to a recent study recently published in JAMA internal medicine, they estimated that approximately 110 000 deaths per year could be prevented if US adults aged 40 to 85 years or older increased their moderate to vigorous physical activity by just 10 minutes per day.

In this episode, it’s all about finding the movement that fires you up. This is not about taking on the next marathon or joining Cross Fit — unless that’s your thing, of course. You’ll hear from women who’ve found fun and interesting ways to incorporate movement into their daily lives, and finding some unexpected benefits along the way. Maybe you’ll even find your future favorite activity through their stories.

Some of us work hard at earning our "grown-ass woman" status. Others find it much, much  earlier. Meet Carey Lohrenz, the first female F-14 Tomcat fighter pilot in the US Navy. Carey shares her years of training to help us overcome those feelings of uncertainty, stress, burnout, anxiety, and pressure.

In this episode, Carey...

• Identifies the problems we're facing as women and humans as a whole.
• Offers simple -- yet powerful -- exercises to help us feel focused and free in our lives.  
• Helps us dig out of fear and see the possibilities in front of us. 

If you're ready to incorporate some action steps into your life to become the most grown-ass version of yourself, this is the episode for you.

The first female F-14 Tomcat fighter pilot in the US Navy, Lohrenz shares her years of training to help business leaders overcome the specific natures of uncertainty, stress, burnout, anxiety, and pressure.

In my first solo episode of the year, I share thanks to YOU -- my amazing listener. And reveal what you can expect from The Grown-Ass Woman's Guide in 2022.

One of the things I do love to do in a new year is come up with a word (or words) that really encompass where I want to go during the year ahead.

2020 = CONNECT (ironic, isn't it?)
2021 = CURIOSITY (when we come from a place of curiosity, there's less judgment of each other and ourselves

In 2022, my friend Marion was talking about how she was doing three words and I really loved the ideas.  I did a little journaling and meditation and my three words popped into my head.

ALIGN I don't want to be that person who just throws things against the wall to see if they stick or works with people or takes opportunities because they bring in income, but don't feel good. I want to do things that align with who I am right now and where I want to be, and so align is a really, really strong, positive word for me.

SIMPLIFY There's so much noise out there. There are so many things we could be doing. I don't want to spend a ton of time doing  just for the sake of doing. Once I have aligned myself to what I want to do, I then want to simplify the steps.  I'm doing those things that "move the needle" bring results.

SPARKLE Oh, my gosh, it's such a 12 year old girl word, Isn't it? But I love it so much. I'm done dimming my sparkle for those who might think I'm extra or too much.

I would love to hear what your word or words are for this year. Email me!

Several times a week, I get weight loss pitches for the podcast.  Diets, detoxes, and the ‘next best thing’ is promised to us at every turn.

Spoiler alert: I decline every time.

When do I say yes? When someone wants to collaborate in helping us all in feel strong, aligned, and unstoppable; not convince us we’re less than until we follow their methods.

I say yes to someone like Courtney Townley. Courtney is one of those people I would say yes to without knowing the question. Sure, she has 20 years experience and that’s fantastic. But what I love is that she’s unlike anyone out there. She is committed to teaching, supporting and holding us accountable for our actions so we can be the most badass, grown-ass version of ourselves.

If you could use a bit of inspiration to realign your actions with what you say it is you want for your health at the start of 2022...

If you are ready to become more self-directed in the health arena...

If you are ready for a mindset reset, so you can rock whatever it is you want for your health in 2022...

Courtney’s hosting a FREE 5-Day Challenge. But before she does that, she joined me LIVE in our free community for a conversation that will blow your mind — and change your mindset.

Are you ready to live your Healthiest Year Yet? I know I am!

Welcome to Part 4 of The Grown-Ass Woman's Guide to Thriving Through the Holidays (our final installment). As we finish off 2021, millions of people are talking resolutions, and making changes in their lives. I personally am not a big fan of resolutions. We all know what happens just a few days into a resolution.

But I am a big believer that the new year is a fresh opportunity to invigorate our lives and set some goals, and no better place to start than at home. Carrie Leskowitz is a certified life coach and award-winning interior designer with over 20 years experience transforming both spaces and lives. In this episode, Carrie shares her tips to help create a more aligned space --  simply and inexpensively; as well as what not to do if you want more love, peace and abundance in your life.

It's the third episode of our four-part series, The Grown-Ass Woman's Guide to Thriving through the Holidays. 

What if I told you that even though you might know what you want in your life, your style choices could actually be preventing it from happening?  In this episode, style coach Erin Mathis shares simple and inexpensive ways  to level up your look to attract what you want. The best part? You can start today!

Guest:

Erin Mathis, cofounder of The Style Core, is a Style Coach for women in midlife who feel stuck in a rut and want to empower themselves to take charge of their future. She helps women up-level their personal style so they show the world who they really are and align their image with the impact they want to make. She applies the same process she used to transform her own image to help her clients reinvent themselves so they can confidently show up as the captivating women they are and tell the world who they are through their look.

Some people might dismiss style transformation as “just a makeover,” but as a style coach, Erin understands how image has the power to transform your entire life. She shares more about this in her Tedx Talk "The Power of Image to Transform Your Life.”

From her home town in Northern California, Erin coaches women around the world online through her transformational style coaching program, Your Million Dollar Look.
