Mixing Up Midlife

Can You Be Ageist Against Yourself?

In today's show, Melissa & Terri catch up and talk about an encounter Terri had with an acquaintance. When someone asks you how you are, should you tell them the truth in that moment, or do you respond with a standard civility? We get in to the Love is Blind reunion, share a cocktail & a coffee and ask if posting on social media is necessary.

Think that a boudoir photo shoot is for your partner? Think again! Listen to hear why this shoot is all about empowering YOU! Photographer Linda McCarthy tells us how this art form can not only empower women in their 50's and beyond to feel liberated, but how it can truly transform how we think about ourselves.

On today's episode, Terri & Melissa talk about how making getting dressed a form of self care isn't as easy as it could be and like our guest Elysha Lenkin on episode 104 said, IT'S A PRACTICE.

Our weekend watch of Gilded Age led us into How We Met Our Husbands , the Sliding Doors of it all and Chin Hair?! We do the unspeakable - We Talk About Bruno & being imperfect on Tik Tok.

Through their Youtube, Instagram and Facebook channels, they showcase our public lands with the hope that people will fall in love with the beauty they see and will then get involved in protecting these beautiful places.

Personal stylist Elysha Lenkin joins Terri & Melissa on today's episode and she's transforming our ideas of what getting dressed looks and feels like.

Elysha is encouraging us to invite creativity into our personal style by starting with curiosity and the simple question "I wonder what would happen if..."

Elysha gave us a 5 day homework challenge that you can do along with us and Melissa added to that challenge- Can you notice if you're more creative when you're dressing from a place of creativity and curiosity?

Welcome Back! 2022 is coming in hot and like everyone else, we've got goals, plans, a non-bucket list-list of things we'd like to achieve or do. (Is there a difference?)

We will be continuing to create challenges & adventures for ourselves, but we also want to highlight other women in and out of the media who are examples of doing the midlife, aging thing the way we'd like to see it.
