This Unmillennial Life

As retailers look for ways to stay competitive in providing straight-to-your-door service, grocery delivery has become a huge business. Most unmillennials may not remember the days of the milkman delivering to your doorstep, but there's a good chance we may be having milk and more delivered to our homes today.

Beauty experts consistently recommend staying out of the sun to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, but the risk of sun exposure over time is actually much more serious than just aging skin. As THE most common form of cancer in the U.S., skin cancer as a real health concern for unmillennial women. Today's podcast addresses why.

In today's episode, I'm interviewing Dr. Emily Keller -- a board-certified dermatologist and a fellowship-trained laser and cosmetic surgeon. She attended the University of Notre Dame and served as chief resident at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic. In the show we answer these questions: 

• How common is skin cancer for women over 40?
• When should women start getting yearly body checks by their dermatologist?
• What are the different forms of skin cancer?
• Are there any skin cancers that are benign?
• What is a woman's risk of skin cancer if she's ever used a tanning bed?
• What are the best ways to prevent skin cancer and aging skin?
• Are sunless tanners a safe alternative?

Dr. Keller also offers a helpful overview of tinted sunblocks you can get OTC that she recommends in her practice, including EltaMD, La Roche-Posay, and Colorscience. (Check out the This Unmillennial Life "Cool Stuff" page for affiliate links to those products.)

And I close out today's show by admitting that I do, in fact, own my own at home spray tanning system at home (

As always, I hope you find this show helpful and most importantly, I hope it prompts you to make an appointment to have yourself checked by your dermatologist. That's going on my to-do list ASAP.

Going through the motions of every day life may seem like you're a well oiled machine on auto-pilot through your day. But did you know that this unconscious flow in and out of life's events may have you bypassing some very important mindfulness benefits?

In this episode I'm interviewing Lisa Wellstead -- an Educator of Mindfulness Programs with over 13 years experience teaching mindfulness-based approaches to alleviate stress, anxiety, and pain. Her clients include Fortune 500 executives, doctors, lawyers, fire-fighters, teachers, school administrators, counselors, and others. In the show, Lisa shared with us:

• a basic overview of what mindfulness is and is not
• how mindfulness gives you more choice and allows you to be more intentional about how you're showing up in the world
• how slowing down and learning our patterns can help us make better choices
• how the practice of mindfulness has a clinical basis in treating symptoms, such as pain and stress
  • how the practice can actually provide mindfulness benefits to the brain and body
• why meditation is different than relaxation
• how people can begin to find a mindfulness practice

I close out today's show with an Odds&Ends ending to the show that expands on some recent show topics, including how you can find BeachBody videos for free on Amazon Prime, an app recommendation and a browser extension recommendation that are follow ups to last week's show (The Apps Episode) plus an announcement about how listeners can now also find full-length episodes of the podcast on my business page (ReganJonesRD) on Facebook.

Going through the motions of every day life may seem like you're a well oiled machine on auto-pilot through your day. But did you know that this unconscious flow in and out of life's events may have you bypassing some very important mindfulness benefits?

A phone used to be the thing you hoped would ring and your best friend would be on the other line waiting to tell you about her day. Now, it's your taxi service, shopping cart, yogi and to-do list. No matter what it is, there's always an app for that. The question is which ones are the best apps for your life?

In this episode I'm flying solo... or rather, giving voice to all the unmillennials of the This Unmillennial Life Facebook group who shared with me their fave "best apps" for their phones. Not surprisingly, we are a generation who has embraced technology, but we're using it in different ways than our millennial counterparts. While my "research" is just a query of friends, it dovetails with what I've found to be the case in my life and those of my friends -- we are BUSY and use the best apps to help streamline, organize, connect and maybe - if we have a minute to ourselves - entertain. 

In the show I go through each of these general categories of best apps to pull out specifics of either what I've personally found helpful about an app OR what fans of the show shared with me. It's interesting to note that the biggest stand-out categories were Health/Wellness and Organization. You might say we all want to feel better and live better. I for one am glad there's an app for that.

BeachBody may sound like the kind of program only the young, supermodel striving types should try. But the ease, affordability and workout-anywhere nature of the program actually make it an ideal choice for many unmillennials. Or at least that's what one fan of the show thinks. Today's show is her story.

In this episode I interview Julie Staley -- a talented entrepreneur, mom and newbie to the BeachBody workout program. While Julie isn't an official BeachBody coach and isn't trying to sell the program, she does believe in it and has had some exciting success with it. In this episode she shared with me: 

• Why she decided to try BeachBody
• Why BeachBody ultimately turned out to be the fitness that "fit" for Julie
• The affordability of BeachBody
• The results she's had since starting BeachBody
• What role the BeachBody shakes did or did not play into Julie's success

 

To close out the show, I'm doing something a little different this week. I'm sharing a portion of another interview I taped with a listener of the show -- Pamela Hernandez. As a personal trainer and fellow unmillennial, Pamela has begun discussing with her clients the idea of embracing a "middle ground manifesto." Based in the notion that there IS middle ground between ninja warrior and couch potato, Pamela's middle ground manifesto is an ideal reminder that age 40+ is the perfect time to seize your health and happiness and realize that you're good enough, you deserve a healthy lifestyle, but you don't have to be perfect.

Today's episode is a [rewind] episode, going back to The Getting Organized Episode that aired earlier in the year. With the spring season kicking off the perfect time to finally tackle those chaotic closets and rooms full of random stuff, I wanted to revisit Lisa Woodruff's helpful system of decluttering first, organizing second and optimizing last. I hope you enjoy this information if you missed it the first time OR get even more out of it by listening again.
