Whew! It's the first anniversary of FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®️ and my MIDLIFE MUSINGS episodes. It's time for me to take a break!

Be sure to catch ALL of my August episodes, my friend. Each one has a gift inside. That's right, I'm celebrating my birthday by sharing fun little gifts I made just for you! Each of them will boost your well-being.

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.

I’ve been thinking about a type of thought that pops into my head and can keep me from pursuing goals or creating change in my life.

I’m guessing you know exactly what I’m talking about.

Listen to this 4-minute episode to hear how to see the opportunities behind the thoughts we typically experience as obstacles.

More and more we feel distanced from nature. But the benefits we experience when we prioritize time in nature, and do it without a screen in our hands, are undeniable.

In this episode, I give you 4 ways to reduce screen time and foster your connection with nature.

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.

Over time, it’s easy to lose track of things that make us happy.

Thanks to a conversation at one of my events, I was reminded of a passion I’ve rekindled.

Tune in to this short episode to hear what it is and receive a little nudge from me.

This is the second of four episodes that guide you through a mid-year process similar to what I use instead of New Year’s resolutions.

If you missed it, you may want to listen to the MID-YEAR REFLECTION episode before this one.

This and the next three episodes of FLIPSIDE OF MIDLIFE®️ guide you through a process similar to what I use mid-year. Instead of New Year’s resolutions in January, I choose to think about where I am, dream of where I want to be, and reset my direction in the middle of the year.

Listen in to hear why and explore if this shift might work for you, too.

Feel like your life is boring? It’s time to have more fun!

Listen in for the benefits of spontaneous and planned fun and why both are important. I’m also sharing 5 tips to help you create more fun in your life.

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.
