In this episode, I speak with Michelle Freedman, an empowerment lab coach, about Loving Our Midlife. We dive into adding more purpose and fun to our midlife. We explore bucket lists, anti-bucket lists, dreams, and the excitement of new hobbies, adding new things into our lives, from small changes like trying new foods to larger endeavors like picking up new hobbies.

A key point we touch on is that our lives are only as expansive or interesting as our comfort zones. By intentionally stretching these boundaries, we can incorporate more joy and experiences into our lives.

We also discuss the value and importance of meeting new people regularly, as these interactions can open doors to fresh opportunities and perspectives.

We share lots of ideas for having fun and expanding in our midlife. Enjoy the episode!

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that's often whispered about but rarely openly discussed: the complexities of intimacy in midlife.

This conversation with Faigy Pollock, an expert on marriage and intimacy, delves into the dynamics of relationships during the midlife years. As family dynamics shift—whether it's the empty nest, more time, less time, or the changes in our bodies, hormones, and libido—Faigy provides valuable insights. We explore the importance of maintaining a physical relationship throughout life and how it’s never too late to cultivate meaningful and fulfilling intimacy.

By the time we reach midlife, most of us have accumulated a lot of stuff. Even if it is organized, it's still a lot of stuff, and all that can clutter our homes and even our minds. We might have our stuff, our kids' stuff, and sometimes even stuff we inherited. In other words, lots of stuff. Some of it we need, but much of it is "just in case," or things we haven't gotten around to sifting through in years.

Rebekka shares some important practical tips and mindset

Enjoy the episode!

Midlife can be such an exciting time; especially if we try new things. Devora Krasnianski speak with Jeanne Blasberg. We dove deep into the idea that as we age, we often become braver and more in tune with who we truly are.   Her kids were grown and out of the house and she was ready for her next adventure. Her passion for making a real difference led her to make some pretty gutsy moves in her midlife. Like swapping Boston for a farm life in Wisconsin and writing not one, but three books! She's all about living life to the max - trying new things, meeting new people, and embracing every stumble along the way.

Listening to Jeanne talk about her journey from feeling discontent to bravely trying new things is super inspiring for anyone trying to figure out their next phase of life.
