On today's episode let’s have a chit chat about how we want to show up for the second act of this life. I read something recently that has stuck with me . If only where I read it or who said it stuck with me. To paraphrase “instead of fretting about how we’re already X numbers of years old (53 for me) why not focus on the life you want to create over the next 40-50 years."
Today I’m going to share some ways I’ve been doing that over the last year with my 52 new things at 52 project. My hope is that this discussion will spark ideas for you about how you want to elevate your second act.

"Ughh, mornings!" That's how I've felt for most of my life. Once I was up I actually loved tackling the projects of the day, but that getting out of bed piece? That was hard.

On this episode I share how I developed this new routine, why standard morning routines just didn't work for me as a non-morning person, why the new routine works for me, and what to consider when building your own morning routine.

We’ve all done it. We look at a sliver of someone else’s life; a teeny moment in the grand scheme of the whole and we measure the totality of our existence against it. “She’s so put together. Why can’t I be like that?” “She’s so confident. Why do I always doubt myself?” “If only I had her abs/butt, arms/hair... When in reality: she may be a hot mess in some areas of her life or have anxiety about constantly trying to be “perfect.” She might doubt herself in private & be fearful of being “found out.” She might not like her butt/arms/hair. Or she might have a terrible quality of life trying to keep those abs. In any case- it has no bearing on you and your life.

As a perimenopausal woman I can tell you these years, though challenging can still be some of the best years of your life. Amanda & I chat about the symptoms that have rocked our worlds & strategies to manage them. Can you lose weight and look amazing during these years?
