The After 30 Podcast

We have Dr. Carla Marie Manly with us today, a clinical psychologist and author who recently released the book Date Smart that’s a must-read for Millenial daters focusing on how to date strong, fearlessly, and smart. Even if you’re in a committed relationship, this book highlights the key elements of what constitutes the foundation of strong, healthy relationships. It’s a no-nonsense guide that takes the guesswork out of dating with the latest research, real-life examples, and 33 vital mindset shifts. We chat about what some of those mindset shifts are, how to increase your awareness to red flags, and how to foster empowered communication, boundaries, and realistic expectations.

We hope you love it!

We did a cross-pod with the incredible entrepreneurs Julie and Liz, who host The Afterglow Podcast, and we had SUCH a good time! 

Known for their conversations related to lifting women up and breaking out of societal expectations on their podcast The Afterglow Podcast, we sit down and chat podcasts, friendship, the pandemic, finding clarity, and sustaining creativity. 

Julie and Liz know that the best life is happening now and are inspired to create a community of women passionate and committed to a future beyond limits, of passion, self-expression, and fulfillment. With a good dose of fun and laughter, they explore everything from nutrition to career to parenting to relationships.

Don't get us wrong, the world opening up right now is GREAT. We love it, we are so here for it, we are 2 seconds from hugging every single person walking down the street. BUT we also know that shifting how we've been living for 16+ months can feel overwhelming too, on top of already probably feeling hella burnout. So we’re pulling in Ashley Wray to help us with a very practical and centuries old tool to help us calm our hearts and minds in this time of yet again, change.

We wanted to honour Pride month in a special way, and Tab’s sharing her own lived experience of her Mother's coming out journey - that today is a story of compassion, acceptance and love - felt right. Tabs shares the impact it had on her to be a child of a 3-in-1 family dynamic shift: divorce (as that's often associated with a parent coming out), seeing your parent in a new relationship, and that new relationship being a same sex one. She shares how she found out, the process to acceptance and support and how it impacted her relationship with her husband now. We discuss what it means to be sexually fluid, why communication is so vital, and the ultimate beauty and power that lies in following your truth. 

We hope you enjoy!

Part II to Eating For Your DNA with Dr. Lois Nahirney, where she explained DNA Health testing and the insights it can provide about your genetic make-up so you can make better decisions about your diet, fitness and health. We both got tested after that episode and in today's chat Dr. Lois takes us through the results! It gave us the opportunity to ask many of your burning questions and allowed us to better understand what the 200 page reports say so we can make empowered decisions about our inputs and live a longer life. We weren't surprised with some sections, but then a few key things will impact how we live and choose to eat going forward - like Tab's low tolerance for handling a high meat protein diet, or Anis's zero tolerance for salt. Woah.  We also discovered our genetic likelihood for Alzheimers and Depression among others, and what kinds of workouts we're best suited to. There's SO much in these reports that break down into 4 sections: diet, health, brain and fitness, they take ~2-4 weeks (depending on the timing of when you send in your test) and Dr. Lois will walk you through the results in a post-consultation too.  To be able to access a personalised proactive health test like this in our modern world is truly a gift and we hope you take it for yourself and your family too!

We hope you love it!

Dunno 'bout you, but we've found it can be an intimidating exercise to land on our leading values. We've come to believe that knowing them, and then living by them can be one of the greatest things that we can do to make life easier, more graceful, and integrous - particularly when it comes to making tough decisions. In this ep we're joined by leading Success Coach, Sarah Gibbons, who on-air coaches on how to determine them. Sarah works with prominent Creative Executives and Entrepreneurs in the Arts & Entertainment Industry in LA and specialises in helping them thrive at the intersection of creativity and impact, and she's a pro at helping people gain clarity on their values. We chat about how crucial it is to structure and create a life around your leading values, how to make decisions in-line with them, and how to learn to lead from your heart instead of your head. 

*Grab a pen and paper and a quiet space for yourself for this one** Included in this ep is a guided exercise that can help you too. 

We hope you love it.

Coined from CBC’s Working Moms, we’re talking about the skin of the vulvar region. When it comes to the vagina, we know things go in it, and can come out of it. Beyond that, we don’t really talk about it (which is a whole other conversation) and probably don’t even think about the fact that the area around the vagina is all skin.

Dr. Jen Newell join us, Naturopathic Doctor and founder of Connected Health & Skin. Dr. Newell’s clinic focuses on skin health and is committed to helping her clients resolve frustrating skin issues and reclaim their inner glow. We’ll discuss how we don’t see the vaginal area as skin in the first place, get into talking about the skin itself, the misconceptions around it, what happens to vaginal skin as we get older, and what we can do to take care of this often not spoken about zone.

We hope you love it!
