#realfriendship #over50life #selfgrowthandfriendship

Have you ever wondered who will actually show up when it matters most? In this episode of Not So Deep Thoughts, I’m talking about the reality of friendships after 50.

As we age, we often face the truth about who will be there for us, and who might fade away. It’s not always an easy truth, but it’s a necessary one to reflect on. I’m sharing my thoughts on the evolution of friendships as we grow older, the struggles of maintaining deep connections, and what true friendship looks like after 50.

If you’ve ever found your social circle shrinking or wondered about your relationships, this conversation is for you. Don’t forget to subscribe for more candid talks on aging, friendship, and personal reinvention.

🐾 Tank's Grooming PTSD | Not So Deep Thoughts with Christina Rumbley

When grooming day feels like a trauma response... meet Tank. 🐶

In this episode of Not So Deep Thoughts, Christina shares the story of how Tank — her 8-pound chaos gremlin — developed a full-blown fear of groomers after a terrifying incident as a puppy. A highly-reviewed grooming salon, a leopard-print big dog, and one very shaken baby puppy later... Tank has never been the same. 😬

From a puncture wound that never fully healed to full car-ride meltdowns every five weeks, Christina takes you through the hilarious, heartbreaking, and very real world of pet trauma — and how she finally found a groomer worth trusting (shoutout to Olivia at Pawsitivity in Asheville! 🙌).

Does your pet have grooming anxiety or animal trauma that changed their whole personality? You are NOT alone — and Christina wants to hear about it.

Embracing The Messiness of Menopause & Perimenopause — What Nobody Tells You | Reinventing Rumbley

Nobody warned me. Not my mother. Not my friends. Not my doctor. And I'm 52, in the thick of perimenopause, still figuring it out in real time.In this episode of Reinventing Rumbley: Inappropriately Appropriate, host Christina Rumbley gets raw and real about the messiness of perimenopause and menopause — the symptoms nobody prepares you for, the emotional toll it takes, and why we need to stop suffering in silence.From night sweats and brain fog to low libido, vaginal atrophy, hormonal migraines, and the very real link between menopause and divorce — this is the conversation women in their 40s and 50s desperately need to have. And yes, guys — this one's for you too.✨ In this episode, Christina covers:

What perimenopause actually is (and how long it can last — spoiler: up to 10 years)

The difference between perimenopause and menopause

Symptoms: night sweats, hot flashes, brain fog, weight gain, hair loss, mood swings, low libido, vaginal atrophy

Why 30% of women never mention symptoms to their doctors

The menopause-divorce connection (and the stats that back it up)

HRT, estrogen patches, progesterone, bioidentical hormones — what Christina is actually doing

Why testosterone for women is irreversible (yes, really)

Supplements that actually helped (magnesium, calcium)

Why we need more research on the female body — and what to demand from your doctor

The emotional side: feeling alone, undesirable, and like you don't recognize yourself

A message to the men watching — what your partner actually needs from you right now

This isn't a medical episode. It's a real woman's lived experience — messy, honest, funny, and necessary.

From Reality TV to Reinvention | Taja Abitbol on Members Only: Palm Beach & Life Beyond the Camera

What happens after reality TV… when the cameras stop rolling?

In this episode of Reinventing Rumbley: Inappropriately, Appropriate, host Christina Rumbley sits down with Taja Abitbol from Netflix’s Members Only: Palm Beach for a raw, honest, and surprisingly deep conversation about life, identity, and reinvention.

We go beyond the drama and into the real story behind Taja — her journey, her wellness philosophy, her business ventures, and what it’s actually like to live in the spotlight of a Netflix reality show.

This episode pulls back the curtain on reality TV while diving into something much bigger: how women evolve, pivot, and reinvent themselves in different chapters of life.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

Taja Abitbol’s experience on Members Only: Palm Beach

What reality TV gets right (and wrong)

Life behind the scenes of a Netflix show

Reinvention after being in the public eye

Wellness, self-care, and personal growth

Navigating identity, relationships, and visibility

Building a life beyond the label of “reality TV star”

Whether you’re a fan of Netflix reality shows, curious about what happens off camera, or navigating your own reinvention — this conversation is real, relatable, and worth the watch.

You are NOT too old. You are NOT too late. And you absolutely have the right to do whatever you want with your life.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Gaby Equiz (i5), we go even deeper into what it really takes to reinvent yourself — mentally, physically, and emotionally.

From walking away from a pop career… to building a dance empire… to inspiring women over 40 to reclaim their confidence — Gaby shares the truth about discipline, resilience, and why most people quit too soon.

This episode is about breaking limits — especially the ones society puts on women as they age.

• What happened after i5 ended

• How Gaby rebuilt her life and career from scratch

• The discipline behind becoming a world champion dancer

• Why women over 35 are just getting started

• Overcoming ageism, self-doubt, and societal expectations

• Dealing with haters and criticism (powerfully)

• Why confidence is built — not given

• Creating a purpose-driven life on your own terms

🔥 Key Takeaway:

“You have the right to be happy and do whatever you want.”

Women 35+ reinventing themselves

Entrepreneurs and creatives starting over

What happens when a pop star reinvents herself… again and again?

In this episode, I sit down with my former i5 bandmate Gaby Equiz to talk about her incredible journey from pop music to robotics engineering to becoming a world-class dancer — and the truth behind what it really means to reinvent your life.

Gaby opens up about being diagnosed later in life with autism (Asperger’s), how it shaped her confidence, relationships, and career, and why thinking differently has actually been her greatest strength.

This is a raw, honest, and at times hilarious conversation about identity, reinvention, and embracing who you really are — even when the world doesn’t understand it.

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit in… this episode is for you.
