In episode 81, we'll be discussing a topic you may not have heard of before: intuitive eating. Our guest, Dr. Jen Salib Huber, is a registered dietitian and naturopathic doctor who helps women manage menopause without diets or food rules. During this transition, many women experience weight gain and body changes, influenced by societal pressure for a certain size or shape. Dr. Huber works to normalise that bodies change for all kinds of reasons and aims to teach women to become intuitive eaters and build body confidence in midlife. I just know you will gain so much from this episode as we discuss topics such as:

If you would like to hear more from Jenn, I would love you to check out her podcast 'The Midlife Feast' at https://www.menopausenutritionist.ca/podcast where she helps women "undiet" their lives after 40 so they can nourish a relationship with food that helps them discover the magic of midlife!

When I think of today's guest, Tania Jolley, the words that come to mind include self-belief, intelligence, tenacity, courage, and determination. She is an extraordinary woman who wears many hats - innovator, entrepreneur, wife, mother, and a fierce player in the beauty industry with her groundbreaking product, Lashes of Change. In today’s episode I chat with my friend and find inspiration throughout her life and as she makes a positive impact on the world. Listen in as we talk about:

Sharing difficult moments may not be easy, but it allows us to connect with others, offer help and support, and feel less alone. Tania is deeply committed to leaving a positive impact on the world and aims to divert over 1 million mascaras from ending up in landfills (where they currently all end up). She also has a strong desire to leave a lasting legacy of a world free of breast cancer.

To achieve this goal, 25% of all profits from Lashes of Change directly support the researchers at the Centre for Cancer Biology in Adelaide who are conducting leading research in breast cancer treatment.

Recently, at a networking conference for women in business, I spoke to women in their forties to mid-sixties who were going through multiple transitions and feeling unprepared. They realised they had lost a sense of self and hadn't thought about what they wanted this stage of life to be like. As someone who has experienced this, I know how overwhelming it can be. That's why investing in personal development is necessary, not just a luxury, especially for women in midlife. Let's explore five reasons why and address common barriers that may hold you back from exploring this further. In this episode you will learn and hear about:

Rediscover your passions and purpose, enhance your physical and mental wellbeing, create a fulfilling life, overcome limiting beliefs, and realise that knowledge alone is not enough. Personal development means saying yes to what makes you come alive, taking care of yourself, embracing change and chasing dreams, silencing doubts and fears, and turning knowledge into action. By doing so, you not only improve your own life but also inspire those around you. We have more opportunities than any other generation of women before us.

Women in midlife are seeking a life full of energy, both now and into the future. We lead busy lives and often it can be hard to make time for healthy habits. In today’s episode we’re diving into the fascinating world of habits, in particular, micro-habits. I can honestly say for me, adding micro-habits into my day over time changed my life and it's changing the lives of the women that I coach and mentor. Listen in to this short episode as I share what has worked and why and talk about:

I love to incorporate strategies such as micro-habits for an improved midlife and would love to chat to you about how that can be implemented into your life as well. Book your free 20 minute connection and we can work out the best option for you.   https://calendly.com/jo--138/20min

For as long as this podcast has lived, I have dreamed of this show being a place where everyday women in this stage of life can also feel seen and heard. And today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Michelle Parsonage, who also has a podcast very similar to this one. Like most of us, Michelle doesn't think that her past or her present is particularly interesting or important. That's not the case at all. As a listener, you might hear parts of Michelle's background story and find that they might be similar to yours. Listen in as we chat about:

To follow Michelle’s work you can listen to her podcast, Your 2nd Act, follow her on Instagram, or email her [email protected].

Life is short. I encourage you to do something today to show that you are more committed to your dreams than you are to your doubts, to your excuses, or any of your limiting beliefs. And I want to remind you now you're not too old and it's never too late. If you are interested in exploring your future, but you just don't know where to start, then I'd love you to take this first brave step. 

Click on the link below to book a free 20-minute connection call with me now. I've been down this road before myself, and I help other women where you are right now, and I'm offering you some free support to help you reimagine your next chapter.  It just takes that first step.

By the time you get to midlife, the majority, if not all women have gone through some sort of hardship, adversity and difficult times and Kat Finnerty has certainly had her fair share. When she was diagnosed with MS at 24 and given a prognosis that she would be wheelchair-bound by 40 she refused to let her disease define her. Against all odds, Kat managed to cure her "incurable" disease and that is only part of her story. Listen as I chat with Kat about:

It is clear that Kat is able to navigate any challenge with strength and grace and I encourage you to find out more about her via her website www.katfinnerty.com, https://www.instagram.com/kat_finnerty/ and https://www.facebook.com/katrin.rochford.

In today’s solo episode I’m exploring big transitions, specifically when entering the empty nest stage. Every single major life stage or transition that your child enters also means that you have one as well. I've experienced them all firsthand, so I know that they can be incredibly difficult and emotional. Tune in as I share my understanding about how your life can feel like it's suddenly turned upside down and chat about five strategies including:

It’s common to feel lost in this stage of life and it can be a hard and lonely time. I’ve experienced and navigated this transition myself, and through my work supporting other midlife women, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful and transformative mentoring can be. If you’re wanting to get to know yourself at a deeper level and get clarity on how the next stage of life could look for you, then my mentoring options are a great place to start.
