Once you’ve spent time in the reflect and review phases, it’s time to reset. This is where you choose the stepping stones that give you a solid footing for the next 12 months.

Social connection is more important than you may realize, my friend. In this episode I share an interesting tidbit I recently learned about loneliness and get you thinking about your personal spectrum of social connection.

In midlife and beyond, it is beneficial to forge new social connections and deepen the ones you have. A fun-filled way to make that happen is, well, by having fun together!

This episode gives you reasons for having fun with other women and some ideas for making it happen.

Play is a powerful wellness tool you may forget to use in midlife and beyond, my friend.

If it’s been a while since you engaged in an activity for no other reason than enjoyment, listen to this episode!

Do you remember Candid Camera? I used to LOVE watching it with my mom!

Sometimes midlife and beyond feels like an episode of that show to me. I’m convinced there’s a camera crew close by just waiting for my reaction to the latest (and not always the greatest) change I’m experiencing.

That’s not my point of this short episode - seriously, it’s short! - but you’ll have to listen to my MIDLIFE MUSINGS to learn what is.

Even though I’m a fan of living in good health, I’m not so fond of the word ‘healthy’.

Listen in to hear my thoughts, what I encourage you to think about instead, and 3 key decisions to make as you create your life-changing lifestyle.
