The Simplicity Sessions

Today, I really want to highlight and focus on mastering the midlife shift that we go through into our forties and beyond.

I'm sitting here as a woman who is 44. I'll be 45 this year, which, when I say that, I'm like, holy heck, when did that happen? But at the same time, I also have such a level of reverence and actually a lot of joy for being where I am at in life now.

In this episode I'm talking specifically about mastering the changes we're going through midlife in perimenopause and into menopause and then the rest of your life that you live post-menopause.

Let's dive in!

While you're at it, take a screenshot and tag me @jennpike to share on Instagram – I'll re-share that baby out to the community & once a month I'll be doing a draw from those re-shares and send the winner something special!

I am recording this on the other side of a full month in Costa Rica at our home as a family.

And let me tell you what a gift for my mind, body, and soul and to spend the time that I did with my family and friends.

I feel so relaxed and so rooted and calm, and yet at the same time, so excited to get back into a rhythm and a routine and back into the work that I do, which I love so much.

And today's episode was actually talking about some of the different ways that I have redefined what success feels like, what winning feels like in my life.

And this is actually an episode that I recorded with my very good friend Kaylor Betts in our brand new studio in Kelowna, BC.

What you will really walk away from this episode with is actionable steps about how you can start to create gradual adjustments and mindful decisions in your own life to avoid burnout, and how to achieve sustainable success, how to create that balance or equilibrium, and how to pursue success that is aligned with your values.

It would be amazing if you would go and share this with all the people that you want to see, you know, wake up and win in their life and create more aligned action, which leads to more simplicity.

Buckle up ladies - this is a 90-minute Masterclass that is a specific deep dive into Fat Loss + Body Recomposition in your 30's, 40's + 50's.

In this episode we're going to be talking about exercise + nutrition + our hormones and what shifts and changes as we are going through these perimenopausal years.

And when we're talking about our body composition, I'm really going to be focusing on how so many of the things that used to work to help you tighten your body or shift your composition simply are not working anymore.

As we are moving into perimenopause and menopause, there are a lot of different factors and things that are changing behind the scenes.

And if we don't have an honest conversation with ourselves about that, and more importantly, we don't understand some of the bigger changes happening, it can feel very frustrating when all of our efforts don't pay off like they used to.

We're going to get into the specifics and talk about exercise and really selecting for yourself what is the best for you at this time in your life.

He is dedicated to sharing his fondness for words and storytelling to the world. When he's not writing, he's immersed in health and fitness, travel, and the outdoors. His highly anticipated poetry collection debuted in December '22.

Connect with Jill Chmielewski -

Jill is a Registered Nurse, Certified Health Coach, advocate for aging women, and mom of four who is on a mission to change the way we approach menopause and aging. She helps midlife women break free from the mainstream way of thinking where disease and decline are accepted as an inevitable part of aging ~ and embrace the notion that it's possible to feel vibrant, happy, healthy, balanced, and strong through midlife and beyond.

Jill believes education is the key to helping women understand their bodies, manage their health, and advocate for themselves as they age. Jill created The Beginner's Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy to help women navigate the wild ride from perimenopause through menopause and beyond. In 2022, she launched Pausing Together, an online community for women to connect, learn, and open up discussions on topics that affect "PAUSAL" women.

Jill has been called upon as a "pausal" guest expert on multiple podcasts, including The Dr. Louise Newson Podcast, The Joyous Health Podcast, Women's Health Unplugged, The Period Party Podcast, and the Hormonally Speaking podcast. Jill is a medical advisory board member at the Institute of Bioidentical Medicine's (IOBIM), whose mission is to improve the standard of care of hormone medicine. Jill has been invited to speak as a menopause guest expert at the Institute for Menstrual Health's Women's Health Certification Program, in the Women's Vibrancy Code, Her Horton Women's Wellness Conference, The Faster Way VIP program, and the Wake Her Up Retreat & Conference.

David is the co-founder of Canada's leading and longest established certified organic skin care brand, Skin Essence Organics. Skin Essence Organics was created over 25 years ago when the concept of using organic oils & extracts on the skin was relatively unknown. Formulating our products started by thoroughly studying each ingredient on thousands of people's skin, observing their individual effects before spending years delicately balancing them to obtain the best possible results.

We continue to produce the products locally in small batches to ensure both quality, freshness and optimum results.

David's passion for organics, dedication to chemical free living, and valuable industry insight has been a driving force, propelling Skin Essence Organics to become an industry leader of superior organic products selling world-wide.
