Meet Susan Heinrich, a former news reporter turned stay-at-home mom, who found herself nearing 50 and feeling utterly disconnected from her life. Susan launched Midlife Globetrotter to reacquaint herself with wanderlust and reignite her sense of self. She joins me today to talk about fabulous destinations, how to give solo travel a try, and why travel is a chance for women in midlife to rendezvous with parts of themselves that get lost in the daily shuffle of caring for others. Plus, last gasp summer travel ideas and do not miss fall bucket list destinations.SHOW NOTES + TRANSCRIPT:acertainagepod.comFOLLOW A CERTAIN AGE:

Forget anti-aging. Menopause care brand Womaness has a thoroughly modern mantra: Experience Required. Preach! On this episode, Katie connects with Womaness co-founder Michelle Jacobs to learn how she and her co-founder Sally Mueller jumped feet first into entrepreneurship to launch a wellness and personal care brand for women demanding a modern take on wellness and menopause care. We explore why age is a superpower, the gentle, efficacy of plant-powered products and supplements, and learn why their ultra-popular hero product, Let’s Neck, always sells out.

Live Fully, Age Well + Jump Feet First into Midlife Entrepreneurship with Michelle Jacobs of Womaness

Get a straight-talk, science-backed look behind the latest buzzy menopause headlines on a new study that finds that the overall health benefits of HRT outweigh the risks. What does this new study mean for you? This week on the podcast, leading women’s health expert Dr. Jessica Shepherd (you know her from GMA and The Today Show) unpacks the headlines and gives us the 411 on HRT—what it is, how it works, and at what age and stage you can best benefit. We also get into hormone myth-busting, explore who is (and who is not) a candidate, and dive into options beyond HRT for women looking for a more expansive meno care toolkit. Fast-paced, informative, and actionable, this show is a do-not-miss!

Straight Talk on HRT and the Science Behind the Latest Menopause Headlines with Dr. Jessica Shepherd

Have you tried and failed to make a mindfulness habit stick? Many of us are attracted to the benefits of mindfulness—stress-busting, a sense of calm and centeredness, and a sharper awareness of wonder. But making the practice stick? Tricky. In this episode, we explore a simple daily mindfulness practice that anyone can begin using immediately to access the benefits of mindfulness and unlock more joy in their daily life. In this episode, Katie is joined by Deborah Huber, co-author of “Today I Noticed: A Little Book of Mindfulness That Will Change the Way You See the World.” We uncover the difference between meditation and mindfulness, explore how mindfulness can offer life lessons from the grocery store checkout line, and why a regular mindfulness practice lets you experience daily life as new and novel, even as you tread familiar territory.
