Midlife Talkshop

We’re talking about something we’re all doing… AGING! And as we like to say, aging is a privilege — but that doesn’t mean we can’t look and feel our best along the way. 😉

In this episode of Midlife Talkshop, we sit down with Kirsten Moke, owner of Moke Aesthetics, and we were especially impressed by her journey. Kirsten earned her nursing degree from UVA and spent years practicing emergency medicine before making the move into aesthetics.

We toured the beautiful spa-like space, met the amazing team, and learned about the many ways Moke Aesthetics can help you put your best face forward as you age — from Tox, dermal fillers and Sculptra to Morpheus8, IPL, SkinPen, facials, HydraFacials and more.

We had a great conversation about aging gracefully, taking care of yourself, and using today's latest techniques and treatments to feel confident in the skin you're in.

Could giving up gluten actually change the way you feel? 👀

That’s exactly what we’re talking about in the latest episode of Midlife Talkshop! 🎙️

Shannon just wrapped up 30 days gluten-free, and we’re sharing what she learned along the way — from the changes she noticed in her body to the surprising things that happened when she focused on eating more whole foods, protein, vegetables, fruit, and fewer processed foods.

We talk about what may happen in the body when you remove gluten, why the quality of the food you’re eating matters so much, and whether going gluten-free is actually something worth trying in midlife.

No extremes. No perfection. Just a real conversation about food, how we feel, and figuring out what works for our bodies as we get older.

🎧 Listen to the latest episode of Midlife Talkshop and hear how Shannon’s 30-day experiment went!

And tell us… Have you ever tried going gluten-free?

🎙️ This week on Midlife Talkshop, Rhonda & Shannon sit down with country music artist Lewis Brice for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about music, family, reinvention, and how fast life really goes by. 🏁

“Shift happens.” — Dr. Keith

Join us this week as we sit down with Dr. Keith Bell, a nationally recognized Holistic Health expert who has spent more than 25 years studying and practicing Oriental medicine and the healing arts. He is the founder of Oriental Medicine Specialists, Richmond’s premier holistic health center and the first clinic in Richmond to offer Traditional Chinese Medicine, Classical Chinese Medicine, and Integrative Fertility Medicine.

This conversation is packed with insight on how acupuncture can help regulate hormones, calm the nervous system, improve sleep, reduce inflammation, and help release stored trauma from the body. After all, “the body remembers what the mind forgets”.

Topics we cover:

One of many “Golden nuggets” he shares— Just 2–5 minutes of deep breathing can shift the body into “rest and reset” mode. No time? A 15-second hug can offer similar calming benefits.
