On today’s episode I’m sharing some end-of-the year thoughts that I hope speak to you and give you inspiration to finish the year strong with hope and excitement for 2025.

This will be my last episode for 2024!  I’m taking these next 6 weeks to enjoy a slower pace in my days, be intentional with my time, rest, embrace and savor my family & friends, and seek the Lord’s wisdom and guidance for the new year and what He has for me.

I encourage you to do the same in whatever capacity you’re able to do so.  Make memories, spend time with your people, bring joy to others, take care of yourself through nutrition and fitness, and soak in this amazing Thanksgiving and Christmas season.  Don’t allow the stress and chaotic pace & troubles of the world dictate your schedule or take over your mindset.

Put your phones down and be present where you’re at.  You’ll never look back and regret the time you took to rejuvenate, rest, and make memories with family and friends.

May the Lord bless you and your family during this Holiday season.  I’m praying for you as you end the year strong and go into 2025 with excitement, anticipation, and joy for all that is to come.  

I’ll see you in 2025!  Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.  

Love y’all

On today’s episode I’m celebrating my 60th Birthday on November 7th by talking passionately about age, seasons of life, goals, mindset, health, exercise, and enthusiasm for life at any age!

60 years of life-lived is pretty amazing! Some good years, some not so good.  But all stepping stones and learning tools for the story God gave me for my life.  I wouldn’t change a thing because it’s my story that makes up who I am today.  I’m truly thankful for the gift of life every single day.  My hope is to enjoy these next many years with excitement, anticipation, energy, good health, and enthusiasm that I get to live out the passion the Lord gave me to help be a tool in changing the lives of others to THRIVE as they age ACTIVELY & POWERFULLY!

Join me in changing the narrative around aging and get excited about the beauty of aging!  Enjoy the podcast and please share with your friends so they can jump onboard with us.

I’d love it if you could give me a quick rating and a review and also subscribe to my YouTube channel.  Thank you for listening!

On today’s episode, I’m talking all about protein and the many benefits it has for women of all ages, but even more so for women 35+.  Are you getting enough protein in your diet?  Most women think they are, but I guarantee that you’d be surprised that most are not.

This is a topic that I feel so strongly about because I’ve seen the positive impacts in my own life and I want to share those with you.  I’m passionate about helping women to achieve their very best optimal health.  I believe making protein a priority is one of the most important things you can do toward reaching your health & fitness goals.

Please share this with the women in your life!  We all want to THRIVE as we age actively and powerfully together!   I’d love it if you could go give me a quick rating and review.  It’ll take only a minute and also subscribe to my Youtube channel.  Thank  you, as always, for listening!

Today’s episode is your encouragement to prepare yourself for the holidays doing something that will optimize your health and keep you energized, rested, joyful, peaceful, and excited to enjoy all the beauty that comes from this holiday season.

We are Wellness Warriors that are on a mission to THRIVE as we age ACTIVELY & POWERFULLY!  After all, who doesn’t need friends, a little extra accountability, coaching, and encouragement during the holiday season?  Let’s go into the new year healthy, strong and feeling like a superhero for all that comes our way!

I’m ready, are you??  Let’s do this!

On today’s episode I’m talking about ways that I fill my cup.  This means the ways that I fill that need and innate desire in my life for friendship and community with other women.  I’ll share some of the things that I’m doing and offer suggestions on how you too can get involved or start your own community.

We are made to do life together.  Women need other women.  We need close friendships, safe spaces to laugh and share, and other women that are more interested in cheering us on rather than tearing us down. 

Women out there need you!  If you’ve felt a nudge to get involved in a group or start your own, I pray that this episode speaks directly to your heart.  

Share this podcast with women that want to hear this message too!  Life is so much better together, so let’s be the one to get that started in our communities.

I appreciate you all for listening and sharing!

On today’s episode I’m sharing a little bit about me, coaching, and what drives me to do what I do.  I also talk about topics that I truly hope inspire you and light a fire under your butt to cause you to take action steps today!  No more procrastinating and putting it off!  It’s time to make that commitment to you and your health because you are so worth it!

I know you’re going to enjoy this one.  It’s short and sweet, but packs a punch!  Pop your airbuds in and go for a walk or grab a comfy blanket and your coffee and let’s talk.

Please share this with your friends and family! I want women everywhere to hear this.

On today’s episode I have a guest that I’m so excited to share with you. I discovered her on Instagram and I was so intrigued by her and what she does that I knew I just had to have her on the show.  

Olga is the “face” of “The Natural Faces” and The Natural Face Bible on Instagram.  She is 48 years old and absolutely stunning. She truly caught my attention by how amazing her skin looks and by watching the methods she teaches on Instagram, and it’s all done naturally.  Graceful Face Aging.  Olga is passionate about sharing her expertise with others on holistic skincare and beauty.  Olga has studied at professional facial massage schools and has completed her education in Osteopathic methods to help promote graceful facial aging.  I can’t wait for you to start incorporating some of Olga’s facial techniques into your daily routine.

TOPICS:

*What does graceful facial aging look like?

*Mainstream beauty treatments are not the only options; common misconceptions about mainstream treatments

*Skincare is all about “less but better”

*Natural botox alternatives

*Olga’s products at Natural Faces

Today just might be one of my favorite top 10 episodes!!  You are going to love Heather Yancey of the Badass Reset Club & podcast.  Heather & I became fast friends through Instagram because of our mutual desire and incredible passion to help women.  We are both on fire about women and aging and we knew that we wanted to collaborate on recording a podcast together.

A few of the topics that Heather & I covered:

*Women aging and the workplace

*Aging actively & powerfully with exercise & proper nutrition

*The importance of community as we age

*Evolving as we age & finding your passion and purpose

*Empty nesting

*Beauty as we age

This was such a fun conversation packed with a whole lot of punch to inspire you and empower you to help us all come together to change the narrative that culture has created about aging!  A strong, aging, confident, active woman is absolutely beautiful because she shines from the inside out.  She is fighting back the culture norms with a happy, healthy, active lifestyle and feeling more amazing with each passing year!  Remember, YOUR AGE IS NOT YOUR CAGE.

Her passion is rooted in a decades-long self-healing journey & she loves to support those who feel stuck in a revolving door of infection. You’re going to want to take notes for this one. It's so good!

*Jen’s personal health journey with gut issues, anxiety, trauma, relationships and why she felt called to this work.

*What is SIBO and what are the common symptoms & root causes?

*How SIBO and stress are intimately connected and affect our relationships, careers.

*Why a whole body-mind-soul approach is the REAL talk when it comes to chronic illness.

Today’s guest is one of my favorites! Amanda B. Porta, The Holistic Beauty Coach is a repeat guest and I’m so excited to have Amanda back on the show.  She is a wealth of information and such a gift to women as she shares her amazing stories and guides us how we too can embrace holistic beauty, understand the importance of lymphatic health, and releasing unrealistic societal beauty standards.

In her survival, she has found a niche as a patient advocate for women experiencing BII. She has advised thousands of women globally. 

Amanda is an inspiration and a beautiful example of overcoming difficulties and health challenges and she is now leading a holistic, toxin free lifestyle that she’s so passionate to share with others.  

TOPICS:

*Holistic beauty

*Amanda’s Why for Embracing Holistic Beauty

*Unrealistic Societal Beauty Standards
