How often are you intentional about immersing yourself in a season? Yeah, a lot gets in my way, too.

Consider this episode your reminder to make the most of the rest of summer!

Hit play to hear 8 different ideas for using summer’s unique vibes to feel your best in body and mind.

Aaaaaahhhhh…doesn’t summer feel like the perfect time to hang out in a hammock, go for a swim, and turn the pages of a book or magazine?

Or maybe those things don’t appeal to you. If not, what does elicit those summer R&R vibes for you?

R&R is NOT a luxury. Your body, mind, and soul need it to function at their best!

In this episode, I help you overcome a common roadblock and define what rest and relaxation is for you.

Are you leaning into your summer vibes, my friend? This is a season made for feeling free and relaxed.

Free and relaxed doesn’t mean you won’t feel stressed or need to get back in the moment, however.

Keep listening for a breathwork technique I use to reconnect with my carefree summer self. It quickly helps me feel calm and reconnect with the present moment (not only in the summer!).

I was at an Adam Ant concert when my background as a health coach kicked into high gear.

Listen in to hear what hit me hard and for some life-or-death messaging. Tune in with an open mind and an open heart for Y O U.

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!

I cover 3 benefits of play and give you 4 ideas for bringing more of it into your life.

I’m back with another guest, my friend! This time Dr. Leigh Lewis is joining me and you’re going to get SO much out of our chat.

Leigh is a naturopathic physician in the state of Arizona. She has been in clinical practice for over 20 years and her focus is women's health, specifically hormonal health. She pursued extra training in menopause, so she is an expert in this area we ALL want to know more about.

In this episode, Leigh shares her story of how she ended up in this specialty, helps us understand the stages of menopause, and gives us reliable fact-based resources we can trust for accurate and current information.

Leigh busts some of the hormonal myths we hear about and gives us insight on how the ‘pink tax’ relates to prescriptions for women.

And, of course, Leigh shares her personal favorite about midlife and beyond!

There’s an innate desire that drives babies to put EVERYTHING in their mouth and three-year-olds to incessantly ask ‘why?’. If you aren’t tapping into your curiosity in midlife and beyond, you are missing out! 

Listen in for 5 compelling reasons to start thinking like a curious kid again.

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.
