The New Old You With Lesley McShane: Recent Episodes
Lesley McShane
This podcast focuses on women over 50 who are trying to handle all of the issues that come with new phase, both mentally and physically. The New Old You is conversations with all kinds of people - experts and non-experts, who will make us all feel less alone and inspire us to keep moving forward bravely into this magical time. Midlife means you still have a long way to go, why not milk it for everything it's got?
Do you wear your stress like a heavy jacket that you never take off? Does it keep you from doing the things you know you need to do for your midlife health? Does it cause you stress eat or skip your workouts?
You wouldn't be alone. Being stressed and skipping workouts is a vicious cycle. One you need to break. Because when you workout, your stress levels ebb and you feel better. And when you feel better, you eat better. It's a much healthier cycle. One that is very important in our midlife.
Get in here and hear about all stress and cortisol levels and how exercise could be the solution you are looking for.

Why do so many – and not just midlife women – struggle with their health, with their fitness, with making nutrition a priority? Especially when they know that focusing on these things will bring them overall vitality and longer life?
I’ll tell you why. Because it is hard to do all the right things, especially when we’ve been conditioned that things that inherently bad for us feel or taste so good. Instant gratification rules.
Many people sign up for better health and are willing to do what is necessary …. Until it becomes uncomfortable or inconvenient. Has this been you in the past?
Let's talk about it today! And then get our midlife bodies moving!

In this episode, I am challenging the conventional wisdom around health journeys, urging all of you not to turn them into grand declarations. Instead of broadcasting every step, I suggest a quieter, more effective approach: simply commit to yourself and take action without fanfare.
By avoiding the pressure of public announcements progress becomes more natural and sustainable. Tune in for a refreshing perspective on embracing change in midlife, and don't forget to share this episode with a friend to spread the wisdom!
OK, now! - Get that midlife body moving!

I've had the privilege of witnessing the ebbs and flows of countless women on their midlife health journeys. One undeniable truth that emerges time and again is the rollercoaster of emotions tied to progress, especially when it comes to weight. Week by week, I've seen elation morph into frustration at the slightest deviation from expectations on the scale.
But here's the thing – progress isn't always measured in pounds lost. It's about recognizing the victories, big or small, and understanding that the journey is rarely a straight line. It's about perseverance through the tough times, knowing that each step forward, no matter how small, is a testament to your strength and commitment.
So, to all the women out there navigating the challenges of midlife, remember to focus on how you feel, the strides you've made, and the unwavering belief that better days are ahead. Keep pushing forward, because an amazing week is just around the corner.
So go out and get that midlife body moving!

Winter is over, and so are the excuses of why we haven’t committed to our health during this time. Start your spring by recommitting to yourself.
Pick something you want to focus on doing or cutting out through April. Master that. Then add to it the next month. It's amazing what small changes can do when performed consistently.
I'm right here with you - let's get our midlife health rocking and rolling!

The realization is that you are aging, whether you like it or not. There is no going back in time to what you may consider better days in your health. But instead of mourning those days, let’s write a new story for ourselves and for our bodies.
Let’s get over the fact that aging happens, but be happy and grateful that we’re still here, and move on in our best health possible.
Get that body moving and do the things that will slow down that physically aging process. Love your body - it's the only one you've got.

There are many that think they are doing what they should be doing and making all the right decisions when it comes to their midlife fitness and nutrition. But how many lies are the telling themselves?
"I deserve this cookie".
"I worked out yesterday so I don't have to do it today."
"I lifted weights. They were only 1pounders, but they count."
"This nightly glass of wine is for my mental health."
We tell ourselves so many lies and then we forget. So we don't understand WHY we aren't losing the weight, or getting stronger, or why we are still winded when we climb the stairs.
All these little lies add up.
So let's get into this today and then GO MOVE THAT MIDLIFE BODY. It deserve it.

Are you familiar with the old navigator’s 1 in 60 rule? This is the rule that says that if you deviate just 1 degree from a path, which seems in consequential, in 60 miles you will be 1 mile off course. And a mile off course really is a big deal.
We're taking this rule and put it in terms of fitness and nutrition. What good are 1% changes in your fitness & nutrition.
Get moving today and I'll tell you all about it.

We have certain ideas of how we "think" we should feel or perform in our workouts at our age. But bottom line: We will never feel the same way we did when we were 20. We won't be able to throw as far, run as fast, hit as hard - and so on and so on. You have to learn to be okay with that and work to just be as fit as you can for the age you are. You might even surprise yourself.

Performance and Mindset Coach Leah Jantzen has heard all of the midlife excuses - I can’t. I don’t have time. It costs too much. I don’t know how. I’m too old. And on and on. She says it's time to put yourself on the hook for a change. Of course you can, change your priorities. Choosing good health doesn't cost anything. Everyone has time. And what is too old? There is no such thing.
Leah knows that if she can do the things she has done, then so can you. And she has done some amazing things this year. She'll tell us all about those things and how she was successful before delving into how we can do the same things at whatever level we would like to be successful. It's all about mindset, having a desire, making the choice, and then being committed to it.
Better health is a needed investment in yourself. And what do we call investment in yourself - GOOD SELF-CARE! And that is something we all need.
I am so honored to have Leah back on the podcast this year. She was on last January to talk to us about getting back on track with resolutions, which you should check out.

Today I am joined by the dynamic duo, Dana Hilmer and Wendy Perrotti, from Camp Reinvention. We get into the universal experience of women in our age group hitting a crossroads, navigating an identity shift, and pondering the ever-elusive question of 'What do I want next?'
The key takeaway? Changes are inevitable, but the magic happens when we choose to be intentional about them. Many women hesitate to give themselves permission to explore what they truly want at this stage of life.
Listen in as we explore the fear associated with change, the significance of intentional living, and the abundant choices women like us often underestimate. With nuggets of wisdom and actionable advice, this episode is an empowering guide for women seeking to reinvent and redesign their lives. Don't miss out—tune in and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation!

Your body doesn't consider you a failure if you fall off the resolution wagon. It is just happy that you are paying some attention to it. It's your own mind that is making you feel like a failure. You've got to brush that aside and just START AGAIN. And when you "fail" next time, START AGAIN, and over and over and again and again if you have to.
It's your life. It's your midlife body. Treat it right. GET IT MOVING!
You deserve it.

In this episode, I engage in a dynamic conversation with Donna Klassen, co-founder, and CEO of Let's Talk Menopause. The episode underscores a pivotal shift in menopause – it's not just about talking; it's about making tangible changes. Notably, a groundbreaking bill for increased menopause research funding was introduced in the House in December, signaling a crucial first step in addressing the under-researched realm of menopause.
Donna emphasizes the urgency of getting science-based information to empower effective decision-making. The episode sheds light on the nuanced nature of menopause, urging listeners to embrace the journey and find ways to feel better, recognizing that not every day will be a triumph.
Importantly, the conversation delves into the significant yet often overlooked aspects of menopause, such as the challenges faced by breast cancer survivors and the chronic and progressive nature of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). Throughout, the call for informed choices echoes, with practical advice on navigating the plethora of information available, and a plea for unity in supporting the Menopause Research & Equity Act of 2023. This episode not only informs but also inspires action, marking a crucial moment in the ongoing menopause movement!

Welcome to the final episode of Redesigning Midlife for 2023!
As we wrap up this amazing year, I want to take you on a journey through the highs and lows, victories and challenges, and the invaluable lessons I've gathered throughout this year.
I feel it is crucial to acknowledge imperfections and recognize the significance of curiosity, self-acceptance, and shared experiences in navigating the complexities of midlife. As we bid farewell to 2023, I invite you to join me in a reflective Year in Review and look at the year ahead.
In this final episode of 2023, I delve into the success of the podcast, its global impact, and what I consider my greatest achievement of the year: being a positive voice for midlife women.
Together, we explore the power of reflection and the importance of understanding our own strength. Amidst all of the midlife and menopause misinformation and companies and other voices that prey on us and our fears in midlife, I encourage you to seek out voices that uplift and empower.
Join me as we embrace the transformative potential of reflection and bid farewell to 2023 with gratitude, wisdom, and a renewed sense of self.

In this conversation with "Gray Area" Coach, Speaker, and Corporate Trainer, Kari Schwear, we learn how increased alcohol consumption can sneak up on us, moving into the abuse phase before we even realize it. We talk about the importance of paying attention to any internal questions and the dialogue we have with ourselves, urging us to "question the drink" rather than ignore it.
Kari sheds light on the "gray area" of drinking, a space where many find themselves between social drinking and severe abuse. With six stages of change, she guides us from contemplation to preparation, urging us to find our own "enough." It's a crucial mission, as 50% of alcohol consumers fall into this gray area.
We discuss the benefits of being sober or alcohol-free, which are MANY! So, if you've ever questioned your drinking, remember, you're not alone, and it's okay not to be okay – start the conversation.

In this fact-packed episode, we dive into the world of proteins, essential amino acids, and their impact on muscle synthesis. It's no secret that protein is a vital part of our diet, but do you really understand why? Angelo Keely, CEO of Kion, breaks down the key takeaways from our conversation:
🥩 Protein Unveiled: Did you know that a significant number of people aren't consuming enough protein, and many are unaware of its importance?
💪 The Mighty Muscle: Beyond just lifting weights, muscles play a diverse role in metabolism.
🧪 Amino Acids Unraveled: Angelo unravels the mystery behind amino acids - the building blocks of proteins.
🍽️ Protein and Weight Management: If you're looking to lose weight while maintaining muscle, it's crucial to consume enough protein. The current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) might not cut it for those interested in health and fitness.
🌞 Aging and Protein: As we age and become more active, our need for essential amino acids grows. Ensuring an adequate intake of protein can be a game-changer for maintaining muscle mass .
This podcast episode serves up a platter of insights, helping you grasp why protein, amino acids, and muscle health are the keys to unlocking your vitality. So whether you're lifting weights or navigating the challenges of aging, remember that these tiny amino acids play a colossal role in your well-being. Tune in for a journey into the heart of protein synthesis and muscle magic!

In this interview with Dr. Mary Claire Haver, author of The Galveston Diet, she emphasizes the importance of moving away from calorie counting and focusing on quality nutrition and movement, especially during menopause. She confirms what we've all found out, that what worked for us in our thirties may not be effective anymore during menopause.
Dr. Haver and I also discuss the challenges women face during menopause, including weight gain, hormonal changes, and the importance of understanding hormones beyond just estrogen. She highlights the significance of managing inflammation through proper nutrition and habits.
And guess what? Midlife fitness and nutrition are the top two components of the "menopause toolkit" for maintaining health during this phase of life.
Take control of your midlife health, fitness, and nutrition. Your body will thank you!

If you skip this week's task, over time regular activities will become more difficult. And this could be the difference between feeling good or starting a slow slide into poor health.
Moving around in various ways throughout the day helps you perform your daily activities. But if you don’t and find that you are stiff all the time, then getting up out of a chair, out of your car, and any number of other “regular” activities will become more difficult.
Doing mobility and stretching exercises will keep your muscles flexible and having that flexibility will allow you to have a better range of motion in all of your joints.
If you want to follow along with my 6-minute mobility routine - head to this LINK!

In this episode, Clara Capano, an international speaker, trainer, and bestselling author, delves into the topics of burnout, success, and the quest for clarity. Clara highlights a common misconception – the belief that one can effortlessly keep all the plates spinning until realizing it's not sustainable.
Recognizing the tendency to normalize life's hectic pace, Clara dispels the myth that seeking help is a sign of weakness. The episode delicately touches on the consequences of neglecting self-care, the thoughtful art of scheduling life, and the transition from pursuing a work-life balance to cultivating work-life harmony. Clara encourages listeners to liberate themselves from external expectations, embrace their unique visions, and, above all, stay present in their lives

Most of us are thankful for something, but we may not be able to put our finger on it or even explain WHY we are grateful for that thing. Gratitude is a practice that people think is easy, but when we are surrounded by negative soundtracks all day, it is hard to come up with reasons why we are thankful.
This week, let's focus on becoming aware of the things around us that we are thankful for and see how our minds starts to look for those things throughout the day.
Thanks for being here and I look forward to having you back NEXT WEEK for WEEK 4.
Until then, take care of yourself - prioritize your health and wellness. Get your body moving. Eat some nutritious foods. Be happy.

Welcome my friend Mindset and Performance Coach Michael Seiler from Metta Endurance in this coaching session that he led for the women in the Midlife in Motion Fitness & Lifestyle program back in October.
In this coaching session we dive into the transformative power of a positive mindset. Michael emphasizes the crucial role of mindset when tackling challenges, especially during the formation of habits. Whether facing obstacles or straying from the path, a positive mindset serves as the guiding force that helps individuals bounce back and stay committed.
We also discuss imposter syndrome, a formidable obstacle for many. Michael stresses the importance of mindset in silencing the negative self-talk associated with imposter syndrome, highlighting the key hurdle of awareness.
Shifting our language plays a pivotal role in our mindset process, as Michael encourages reframing phrases like "I need to" or "I have to" to "GET TO," illustrating how this simple twist empowers individuals and alleviates self-imposed pressure. Join us as we explore the profound influence of words, the role of the Reticular Activating System in shaping our narratives, and the transformative power of starting small on the journey to personal growth and success.

I love setting a good, actionable goal, but one of the early themes in James Clear's book "Atomic Habits" poo-poos goals in favor of systems & processes. As I read about it, it stopped me dead in my tracks and think it deserves a thorough investigation to see how that thought can help you AND me hit our weight loss goal or ANY OTHER goal that we might have in mind for ourselves.
This is a great discussion and topic as we move through the holiday months. Take good care of your midlife health friends. It will save you some day.

We are creatures of habit. We settle into the familiar, even if it isn't comfortable, because we feel that any change will be painful. Our brains want to keep us safe, even if our current situation isn't necessarily good for us. We will repeatedly bang our heads up against a wall if that is what we've always done.
But if CHANGE is screaming out to you - heed it's call. You never know what's on the other side.

In our conversation with Finlay+Green CEO and renowned Hollywood Makeup Artist Helen Marray-Finlay, we get into the significant impact of menopause on skincare.
There is a significant influence of declining estrogen levels on the skin, leading to increased sensitivity and notable changes in texture. During menopause, it's crucial to adopt a gentle skincare regimen, avoiding harsh ingredients like retinol and focusing on hydration and minimalism.
Helen stresses the importance of staying hydrated, using products rich in hyaluronic acid and squalene, and diligently applying sunscreen with at least 45 SPF. We talked about her new line of products, which I am currently using and enjoying very much.
Helen's dedication to creating an accessible, science-driven skincare line tailored to the needs of menopausal women reflects her commitment to enhancing self-care and empowerment for women during this transformative phase of life.
I hope that you will go check out the Finlay+Green Moisturizer at their site: https://finlayandgreen.com/
You can also find Helen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/finlayandgreen/
Or you can email Helen directly if you have questions.

No doubt that our entrenched self-limiting belief are very often our biggest barrier to overcome. This is where self-affirming talk is important. Having a mantra. Reading affirmations – turning that negativity into positive statements about ourselves.
Why not just be up for the challenge as opposed to automatically thinking that you CAN’T do something. You have to believe in yourself and that anything is possible. Challenge your negative thoughts about yourself. When your head says you CAN’T do something – pull out some other accomplishment that you once thought was impossible. If you can do that thing – you can do anything.
Midlife is only halfway - let's kill it!

Everyone writes off the last 6-7 weeks of the year. The candy rolls in over Halloween and carbs rule Thanksgiving to Christmas. The parties and the alcohol flow more than usual. So many people to see, things to do, and shopping to be done that our workouts become non-existant.
And then we show up January 1st. All stuffed full of food and liquor-logged with giant "pie in the sky" ideas that we are going to just cut out everything and start workout out 1-2 hours every day.
Until we don't. By January 4th or 5th.
Wake up from your nightmare of feeling like crap on January 1st. You still have time before 2024 gets here. You have time to add some control into your life before you lose it.
I have 10 ways and 10 things you can do to make sure you show up January 1st with no need to make crazy resolutions & promises to yourself. You don't have to do all 10, but even if you do 1-2 of them, you'll feel so much better about yourself when 2024 rolls in.
Stay on that midlife health ladies! It will save you years.

You are going to need to make an investment in yourself. And as we all know – it takes a very, very long time for our investments to show a decent profit. The same is true with our health and fitness. Gains don’t happen overnight. They don’t happen in a week and sometimes even a month.
The biggest investment you can make in yourself is TIME. The Time you need to workout, to build a good weekly menu, to make healthy food or meal prep for your lunches, to join support groups to make the lifestyle changes you know you need.
Your first hurdle is going to be knowing that you are WORTH that investment of time in yourself. You are. We are ALL worth the effort that we put into ourselves to make this life – this one trip – the best it can be.
Get your midlife health into gear! Don't let time run out!

Everyone who has been successful has had to EMBRACE THE SUCK along the way. When we know that we can get through, we gain confidence that we will be successful at some point in the future.
You know what they say - you don't learn as much when you are winning all the time - it's when you are losing that you gain the most insight. We ALL lose MOST of the time, so use those experiences to learn about yourself and then test new ways to push yourself. Accept the challenge to make it better.
Use the adversity of your situation to make yourself better this time and all the times after. Get that MIDLIFE body moving!

There are so many of us that don’t realize how blessed we are in this life and in our everyday movement.
But some people actually can't get the kind of movement they want whether physically or situationally. But you can, but are choosing not to.
We don’t know what we have until it is gone. Literal songs have been written using that sentiment and those words –usually about love, but what about your health?
We most certainly take for granted any good health that we have – and don’t appreciate it until it is gone or we temporarily or permanently don’t have it anymore. Ask any athlete who has ever been injured – where they once dreaded hard workouts, they now wish more than anhthing that they could do a hard workout.
I want nothing more than to impress on you to not to wait too long in starting to understand and appreciate what you have. And I encourage you to maintain or improve your health through both movement and nutrition.
Make the easy choices to ensure it is many years until you can't do something.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Adult ADHD with the wonderful Franki Bagdade, a Therapist and ADHD Coach. ADHD is far from a one-size-fits-all condition. It comes in various subtypes, and it's often missed, especially in girls and women.
We explore the possibility of an undiagnosed ADHD from childhood, debunk the myth of bad parenting, and emphasize that ADHD doesn't just disappear as we get older; it evolves. Franki underscores the vital importance of getting a diagnosis, as undiagnosed ADHD can lead to self-medication and substance abuse.
We also delve into the emotional toll of undiagnosed ADHD, the challenges of executive functioning, and how anxiety can overlap with this condition. But here's the silver lining: a diagnosis is a pathway to healing and embracing your unique strengths.
We also touch on the bright side of ADHD, like creativity and quick problem-solving skills. Furthermore, for those approaching menopause, we discuss how ADHD can change, as well as the evolving landscape of medication effectiveness.
We cover a wide range of coping strategies, from exercise and sensory techniques to supplements and useful resources for those seeking support. This episode sheds light on the often-overlooked world of ADHD, providing valuable insights and guidance for anyone navigating this complex condition.

WHAT IS AN ENENY? An enemy is a person who is actively opposed or is hostile to someone or something.
When you look in the mirror would you ever say or think that you are your own worst enemy?
You know we talk about your brain trying to keep you safe because it cares for you, loves you even. But what if we look at our mind as the enemy – that thing that is actively opposed to us getting uncomfortable in our workouts or in our nutrition in order to improve our health.
The mind becomes HOSTILE and works hard to turn you back to your old bad habits. It tries to tell you that you are safe in your comfort zone with your comfort food. And that it will take care of you, but it is actually acting as an enemy of your state.
So what is your worst enemy telling you today about working out? That you are tired or that you don’t have enough time or that tomorrow is better.
Notice the voice and then go do it anyway. Get the job done today because tomorrow it will be the same. It is a battle you will fight over and over. But you will win because you’ve got me here to push you through.

We all have the best of intentions, especially at the start of a new year. We are going to do better or turn things around. We resolution ourselves without setting ourselves up with a plan to achieve the success. One of the big keys to any kind of healthy lifestyle for 2023 is going to be the need to recognizing and breaking any kind of sugar or carb addiction that you have. And more than likely, you have one.
Today, Lifestyle Medicine Physician Dr. Lucy Burns is with us to help us do just that. To help us recognize our sugar addiction and become more aware of what it is, where it came from, what it does to our bodies, and finally what we can do to break that sucker!
Some of the things we discuss:
- The Keys to Healthy Living
- What are Sugar and Carb Addictions
- Do YOU have a sugar addiction?
- The Brain and Dopamine
- Society And Marketing's role in our addictions
- The emotions of eating
- Why are we overweight?
- How much sugar should we be ingesting daily?
- Treatment of obesity vs. Prevention of obesity
- How to begin to tame the Midlife Middle
- How much protein should we be getting?

So HOW MUCH TIME does it take to focus on your health? We all get so pooled up in the idea that more is more that we can’t take steps toward progress unless we are taking HUGE steps toward it. Like we’ve got to workout for an hour or more every single day.
And if we’re not able to take those big steps, then we’ll take none. Go big or go home – right?
Wrong.
As long as you have a good plan that you work consistently for the 15-30 minutes that you find during your day, you have PLENTY of time to work on making progress in your midlife fitness. But you have to be focused and ready to work those 15-30 minutes.
Let's talk about the ways to DEBUNK that VITALITY MYTH that you don't have any time. Let's see where you DO HAVE TIME. And get that MIDLIFE BODY MOVING!

One of the biggest things that I do when looking for motivation or learning something new is to find some inspiration – I look for someone who has already mastered that thing and I watch them. Just the fact that they have learned or achieved the thing I want or desire, means that I can get there too.
They have cracked the code – no need for me to learn how to crack the code, too. I’ve just to got to take what they did, mold it around my circumstances and move forward.
And once I accomplish that, I pay it forward by being the inspiration for someone else who is taking their first step. Use the learning curve, be the learning curve.
Make that midlife the best it can be on a daily basis!

I think that everyone knows they need to get good sleep, but the problem is they can't. Do you feel like a zombie during the day, have a foggy brain, and trouble concentrating? Are your work and relationships suffering from your lack of sleep? Do you wake up full of dread? Or do you deal with a busy brain at night? Do you end up relying on sleep aids to get you asleep?
If you answered YES to any of these, then this episode is for you. And you aren’t alone. 1 in 4 women suffer from insomnia.

How many times have you pushed off the start date of WHEN you are going to start working out or start of focus on your health? We all WANT to, but there is a caveat. We have to get to an arbitrary time. When we have more time, when it's cooler, when it's January 1st.
It reminds me of Tom Cruise in Top Gun where he is afraid to engage in the air battle below. “It doesn’t look good.” Everybody in the audience knows that he just has to do it – the situation will never be perfect, but he has to overcome his fear and just DO IT.
“Talk to me Goose” he begs.
Well today I am your GOOSE. And I am asking you – If not today, then when? Because I don’t think WHEN is ever going to get here. You’ve just got to do it.

Midlife Health is something that we don't consider until we are "in the zone." We spend our younger years doing and eating and drinking what we want, but all of a sudden we are at an age where all we talk about is what hurts, bathroom issues, weight gain, and that we're tired all the time.
Life changes overnight and we become ultra aware that there are certain things that we need to be paying attention to when it comes to our health. We know that if we don't focus on health, we likely won't feel our absolute best. It may seem overwhelming, but by keeping these six things in check, the complaints about your midlife health might decrease.
Take care of yourself and your midlife health. Your future self thanks you.

I’ve called this episode Debunking Vitality Myths. I just made that up – and I have no idea if those are a thing – but that is what they are – they are myths. Which I also call LIES or even EXCUSES when we would rather just not try, but need to say something.
Acceptance of a situation is all yours. If you want to say that you are too old or or that it’s too late, then go ahead and say it. It’s not true, but go ahead.

You feel like you have to have a clean slate to get started. Heaven forbid you start when it is messy. But let me tell you, the slate will never be clean and there will always be mess. You just have to do it.
Your body doesn’t care if you only have 15 minutes, it just wants you to move. It doesn’t care of you are only working out a couple of days if that’s all you have – it just wants you to do it. It doesn’t care of if you have WEIGHTS when it knows you can use it’s own bodyweight.
Your body just wants you to MOVE.
So don't let it down. Get your Midlife Body moving! It will be so grateful.

In this interview with Dr. Mary Claire Haver, author of The Galveston Diet, she emphasizes the importance of moving away from calorie counting and focusing on quality nutrition and movement, especially during menopause. She confirms what we've all found out, that what worked for us in our thirties may not be effective anymore during menopause.
Dr. Haver and I also discuss the challenges women face during menopause, including weight gain, hormonal changes, and the importance of understanding hormones beyond just estrogen. She highlights the significance of managing inflammation through proper nutrition and habits.
And guess what? Midlife fitness and nutrition are the top two components of the "menopause toolkit" for maintaining health during this phase of life.
Take control of your midlife health, fitness, and nutrition. Your body will thank you!

So when you listen to the open of the show, do you ever listen to it? One of the statements in the open is “Do you wake up saying, I’m starting today and then end the day with I’ll start again tomorrow?”
Is this you? Are you all fired up in the morning, but then your day goes sideways and you declare at the end of the day to write that one off and you’ll start again tomorrow?
How many of us have had all best intentions to take care of ourselves, but when it isn’t convenient, we just push it off to the next day.
It's time to realize and wake up to the fact that TODAY is YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW.
It's time to get our midlife moving! Or our Midlife in Motion as it were!

Would you start a new business that will cost you time and effort without a good business plan? NO, you wouldn't. Would you start a new health journey that will cost you time and effort without a plan? NO, you shouldn't.
Anything you build on quicksand, will no prevail. You have to know where you are, where you want to go, how you are going to get there, how long it will take to get there, and how you are going to deal with the hard when it happens.
Getting your midlife in motion starts with building a good foundation on which everything else will be built. We are talking about that foundation today and what you need to have before you even get started.
It is ALMOST THAT TIME - to get your MIDLIFE IN MOTION!

Welcome to your weekly Motivation to get your body moving! Working out, and sport in general, is meant to be a social event. It is the perfect activity to share commonalities with others like you.
They are the ones that know why you are doing what you do. They know the struggle. They know the rewards. They understand when you are having a good day and when you’re having a bad day.
And best of all, they can inspire or motivate you to do this activity when you aren’t feeling like it. On the flip side of that – you can motivate someone else who is having a hard time rallying.
So GET SOCIAL!

At a certain age, it is easy to throw it into cruise control and take our hands off the wheel. We feel we’ve conquered enough and want to sail through the rest of our years.
But where does this lead? What is the benefit of never being curious enough to learn or try something new? If we aren’t continually evolving into new versions of ourselves, we may get left behind.

Holistic Health Coach, Bria Gadd is here as we delve into the fascinating world of perimenopause and its often-misunderstood intricacies. Did you know that about 45% of women mistakenly think perimenopause and menopause are one and the same?
Let's clear that up.
Perimenopause is like a reverse puberty, hitting around age 35. It's when our reproductive hormones shift from ovaries to the adrenal glands, causing a rollercoaster of symptoms like weight gain, brain fog, and those dreaded night sweats.
Now, what's truly intriguing is how these symptoms stem from a dance between progesterone and estrogen. Imagine, when one's off-balance, the other follows suit.
Progesterone, highly sensitive to stress and inflammation, often takes a backseat as the adrenal system steps in. But here's the kicker: 75% of symptomatic women aren't seeking help!
We'll explore ways to let your hormones heal themselves. Quality sleep (7-9 hours ladies!), proper hydration, and stress reduction through nutrition and movement form the pillars of rejuvenation.
So, dive in with a positive mindset – this transition can be a catalyst for empowerment. Remember, change is our forte; embrace it and emerge stronger.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the the art of 'choosing again.' Remember that time you enthusiastically committed to a daily workout routine but ended up binge-watching cat videos instead? Yeah, we've all been there.
Alright, let’s pause for a flex moment here. You're on a noble quest for abs and vitality, and guess what? It’s like a real-life video game. You stumble, you fumble, and then, here comes the magic – you hit the "choose again" button!
Gabby Bernstein is onto something, my fitness comrades. Think about it – when you're Netflix and chilling instead of gym thrilling, or your broccoli becomes brocc-uh-oh-I-ate-chocolate-cake, cut yourself some slack!
You're as normal as a cat meme on the internet. The real secret sauce here is CHOOSING AGAIN. Don't forget how you felt making a less than decision to help you next time, but no guilt trips allowed.

We thought that things would get less chaotic when our nest was empty and we could get back to the ease of September. But it didn’t happen. Empty holes have a way of attracting piles of dirt to fill it in. Same with time. When you have time available, it will fill faster than you can say “me time”.
We get to this point in our lives, in midlife, and feel like we don’t have any real control and we’ve forgotten how to regain control of that power
But never fear, I’ve got 7 ways to start taking that control back. This is not a finite list, just 7 things that I’ve personally worked on in my own life.
So get a pen if you aren’t driving or walking your dog, and let’s review, shall we?

In a recent heart-to-heart with my husband, Mike, I decided to crack the code on his motivation for maintaining his health. His response? Exercise is his ultimate drug – his way of scoring those sweet, legal endorphins. Essentially, he’s chasing that "exercise high," and honestly, who can blame him?
Here's the kicker – it got me pondering. If exercise is the legal high, then I must be YOUR enthusiastic pusher. Yup, you heard that right. Picture me in a workout guru disguise, pushing exercise like a street dealer peddling happiness.
I’m not dragging you into a dark alley; I’m guiding you to the light of a longer, healthier life. I want you strutting out of a workout session like a rock star, oozing confidence, and radiating so much positivity that you might just start your own exercise-pushing cartel.
So, here’s the deal – lace up those sneakers, get that heart racing for a mere 30 minutes today, and then do it all over again tomorrow. Five days later, come back and tell me you haven’t caught the contagious "feel better" bug. Let’s turn this world into a bunch of exercise junkies, boosting our happiness and extending our lifespans one rep at a time.

In this fact-packed episode, we dive into the world of proteins, essential amino acids, and their impact on muscle synthesis. It's no secret that protein is a vital part of our diet, but do you really understand why? Angelo Keely, CEO of Kion, breaks down the key takeaways from our conversation:

Menopause, the word that I'm using as a collective for the whole physical perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopausal journey, is quite a surprise if you aren't ready for it. Even if you think you're ready for it, you might not be.
And if you aren't ready for it, then the fella in your life is definitely not ready for it. It can be just as surprising to him as it is to you.
Every male involved with a woman of a certain age will be faced with menopause, too. And while he might not experience all of the symptoms, he needs to know where he stands and what he can do to use that "I've gotta fix it" mentality.
Enjoy this blog read to my husband on what his menopause marching orders are!

Women often wrestle with body image, aspiring to be smaller and chasing the elusive ideal of "skinny." However, let's shift the focus. What truly matters is being fit and strong. Losing weight might seem like the goal, but let's reframe it – aim to shed fat and gain functional strength.
Remember, skinny doesn't equate to healthy or strong. Research underscores that being fit enhances longevity, fending off muscle loss and even diabetes.
Engaging in consistent cardio and resistance training not only transforms your body composition but also bolsters self-esteem. So, ask yourself, do you want to be skinny or embrace a journey of becoming fit, strong, and healthy as you age?
It's time to redefine your midlife goals for a fulfilling future.

Ever started a new fitness routine and suddenly felt the urge to splurge on top-of-the-line gear? You're not alone! But hold up, eager beaver – don't crown yourself champion of the shopping cart just yet. And don't fall into the trap of premature rewarding.
Picture this: you pledge to conquer a mini-marathon, and your friends rain applause upon you. Bravo, future athlete! But wait, did you just get the accolades before your first mile?
And those new workout clothes you are eyeing? Start by sweating it out in those faded yoga pants lurking at the back of your drawer. It’s a journey, not a shopping spree! So, learn from the best-worst examples of pre-success celebrations and keep your goals under wraps until they're ripe for the spotlight.
Your mini-marathon selfies will thank you later – no filter needed.

STRESS. It even sounds stressful. Today my guest, Stress and Lifestyle Management Coach Kathleen McDermott reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles during challenging times. Life is unpredictable and does not follow a set pattern. We often feel pressured to keep up a frantic pace in life, but sometimes all we need is to slow down and take time for ourselves.
The culture of being constantly stressed and busy is not a badge of honor; it can lead to detrimental effects on our health and well-being. Stress affects all aspects of our body, and healing requires addressing both the mind and body. Becoming aware of our triggers and reactions is crucial to breaking free from habitual responses and finding better ways to cope.
We are talking about the importance of self-care and setting boundaries and the idea of instead of seeking perfection, focus on doing things in a way that feels right for you.
We explore the significance of sisterhood and the support that other women can provide. She encourages us to create a new legacy for ourselves and future generations by taking charge of our lives and seeking ways to feel better.
Ultimately, the key to stress management lies in awareness, self-compassion, and choosing better ways to respond to life's challenges.
Make sure to sign up for the RELATIONSHIP RESCUE SUMMIT happening the week of August 7th. SO MANY amazing presenters to help you come back to YOU! I'll be there!

Was there someone at your school that you considered a bully? This person had total control over how people felt about you and honestly about how you felt about yourself. A lot of times we weren’t able to succeed socially unless that bully allowed it to happen. And we hated it. And we hated that we allowed it to happen.
When it comes to developing a habit of working out and getting into our best physical shape, we allow the world, people in our orbit, culture in general to tell us that we can’t reach those goals we have. They become the bullies of our adult life.
It's time to tell that bully that you won't be pushed around anymore. I want you to go at your health goals no matter what. Show your midlife how strong you are!

Is it weird to throw a menopause coming-out party for myself? Society makes a big deal out of when a girl starts her period and on this journey, but you when we reach the other side there is nothing - just crickets. I have been silently wishing and wanting to get to menopause for a while. I'm a late bloomer and it is time. And finally my time has come. And I am all about it.
Finally reaching menopause (where I haven't had a period for a year and a day) has me reflecting on how I FEEL about being in menopause and about the important things I think I really need to start paying attention to now that I am here.
So listen in for my 10 Musings about Menopause. I hope you enjoy and that you are putting your midlife health first and foremost in these days. You'll be glad that you did.

So I read something the other day and I’ve been thinking about it. Like a lot. It goes like this – If you are able to spot the greatness in others, some greatness already lives inside you.
We live in a time and age when people find it hard to spot the greatness in others, to be able to applaud them or be proud of them for it. Everyone is quick to tear each other down in order to feel good themselves. And We have all been guilty of it.
What we need to do is spot the greatness in someone else and use it to our own benefit. If you can find someone who has the discipline that you want – watch, learn, and emulate or copy.
If you can realize the greatness in this other person, then maybe you can realize some of the greatness inside yourself as well.
Your Best Midlife HEALTH Days are ahead of you - go get them!

I think it is very healthy to have a great balance of both short and long-term goals. And I do believe that if you are sincere about the goals that you set, there isn't any reason why you can't reach them if you work toward them. And that's the key, isn't it?

Isn't the core just your abs? How important is the core as we age? How do we make sure that ours is strong and what exercises can we do? ALL answers that trainer and nutrition coach Megan Dahlman has for us today.
We are all very touchy about our midlife middles, but it is amazing the amount of confidence we can glean from just making sure that we keep our core nice and strong. And a strong core leads to better movement as we age. It's all a win-win.
Make sure to find Megan and follow her on Instagram and on You Tube. Check out her website at Vigeo.com and listen to her on her podcast Self-Care Simplified

We've talked about it before. The word can’t. It doesn't have a shred of hope in it. And we use it a lot to talk about what we’re capable of and think we’re not capable of. Have you said any of the following? I CAN’T cut give up carbs. I CAN’T lose weight. I CAN’T get up and workout in the morning. I CAN’T lift weights.
You’ve said these things to yourself so many times and for so long that it is a soundtrack that runs in your head. No question. No trying to disprove it. And it has become one that you believe.
But, I’ve got news for you that can either be good news or bad news. What you are telling yourself that you can’t do, that is a lie. You are lying to yourself. What if I told you that you can?
Get on that midlife health and fitness. Better days are waiting for you.

Health Overwhelm is a real thing. I couldn't find a definition on Google for it, but it is real and many of us feel it. When we KNOW we have to do something about our health, but we aren't sure what or how. There is so much information out there - how do we decide what to do? What if we choose wrong?
This week I am giving you permission to chill out on yourself a little bit. Instead of feeling overwhelmed in this moment, think of your health journey as a blank canvas in front of you. Get excited about the possibilities and all of the ways that you can paint this amazing picture of your future health.
If you are motivated, you will create amazing things for yourself. This is a solo journey that you are at the helm of. Get excited. Be protective of your journey. And go get it.
It is time to take charge of your midlife health. Every day gone is a day lost. Start today.
Make sure to get on the waitlist to do the LIVE coaching program MIDLIFE IN MOTION with me this fall. Head to lesleylmcshane.com/waitlist

A few months ago on Instagram, Sara Blakely, the founder and CEO of Spanx posted something that has stuck with me. It was a picture of her drinking out of a coffee mug that read “when you’re getting your shit together it gets lonely. But choose growth over company.”
Let’s face a common reality. Not everybody in your life will be thrilled when you decide to get your shit together. They are comfortable with the you now – even if the you now really needs to make some serious health changes. They don’t want you to change.
When this happens, you may have to draw some lines, set some boundaries, cut some people out, or make some new friends with similar goals. It may be lonely for a hot minute.
But you've got this.
Turn your midlife into something that everyone else wants - then you won't be lonely.

Sport. Your kid's sport specifically. We get so involved and engrained. Mike and I spent many years, dollars, vacations, blood, sweat, and tears supporting our kids in the sports they chose to pursue. We both love athletics and were more than happy to travel all over the country making sure they both got to learn all the lessons that sport teaches.
But then it was over Where once a lot, if not most of our attention was on who was where, racing or playing what, there was nothing. Crickets. It is so hard not to feel as though a part of you has died when these days end. And as I said to someone just last week, and you never know when the last time will be.
How do you ease the parental pain when your kid quits their sport and you aren't ready or weren't prepared. I've got your tips.
Have a great Friday, a great weekend, and we'll see you next time.

Through personal tragedy, Functional Medicine Nutritionist Andrea Nakayama found that there are were things missing in healthcare, some gaps in treatments and how the patient is viewed.
She developed the YES, AND method, where we listen to the medical recommendation and then find out what else can we do. She says we have think differently about where we are taking our own care in addition to medical interventions.
We use the body and treatment of it in the analogy of a tree with dying or sick branches, but instead of just cutting off the branches (the symptoms), we must find out what is happening at the soil level to improve the whole tree.
In this episode we delve into many topics:
1. The definition and practices of functional nutrition, as well as functional medicine
2. Everything we need to be focusing on in between doctor visits
3. How to find and begin to work on the root causes of health issues
4. Hormone Balance and the Hormone pyramid in midlife
5. Supplements
6. Our health responsibility as the expert of ourselves and our bodies
Make sure to continue getting educated - and go search out Andrea at her website:

Make sure to go back and listen again - such amazing information - and then make sure to RATE and REVIEW the show. Much Thanks!!

None of us pictures ourselves as a frail, little, old lady. We can’t fathom that one day we wouldn’t be able to go on a hike, walk up some stairs, or even live by ourselves, independently.
Think of the last frail older woman that you saw. Do you think that she imagined herself in her state 10 ,20, 30 years ago? Or do you think that she imagined herself doing all the things that you imagine that you will be doing in 10 and 20 years?
Where did she go wrong?

Author Nicole Kalil, bringing her new book “Validation is for Parking - How Women Can Beat The Confidence Con” is with me today for the very important discussion about confidence - and how the confidence that we portray outwardly doesn't necessarily match up to how we feel inside.
Nicole's story is a cautionary tale and one that a lot of us have experienced and faced. We appear and "act" very confident on the outside, but inside we are hiding and afraid of being "found out". We may even be in such a dark place because of our lack of authenticity that we don't know how we will ever escape.
The beauty of it is that Nicole is here to help with all the ways we can shed that fear and begin to build confidence where it is most important - INSIDE of us. She is spilling the whys, whats, and the hows of confidence, our lack of it, and how we build it.
It's important to remember that confidence and trust in ourselves is a continual journey. Not a final place to arrive. Make sure to find Nicole at all of the following to join her on a confidence journey.

Is strength training, resistance training, weight lifting (whatever you want to call it) part of your fitness routine? It should be. But if it isn't, maybe it's because you believe one or several of the 6 lies about lifting weights as a woman. I'm here to disprove those lies and when I'm finished, you'll want to get started right away.
Midlife is a wonderful time to start some sort of resistance training. And it is never too late to get started. Remember that. Go get you some!

I’ve heard so many people say things like: “I can’t lose weight anyway”, “this pain is normal with getting older”, or “lifting weights is too hard” . They just put it out into the universe.
What the universe hears is that you are okay with your weight and can’t lose it, that you expect a certain amount of pain, or it will never give you any motivation to lift weights.
Watch your words, lest they come true.

Women in the world need access to empowering information, with real actionable items, all addressed in a kind way. That is what Jack Perez, founder of Kuel Life has put together for women 45+. A place of curated content from over 60 midlife women thought leaders imparting their knowledge.
Jack has a passion to remind women that we are far more similar than dissimilar. She wants women to know that they aren’t alone. When she was starting out in her midlife and was being trampled by menopause, she thought I can’t be the only one going through this. So she decided to be a part of the solution by normalizing, educating, and helping others enjoy what she considers the “better” part of life.

We all want the "smoothie". We want to lose weight and gain lean muscle. We crave more energy, better sleep, and to look good in our clothes. We ache to just feel better.
But we don’t want to do the things we know are needed to feel how we want. We don't want the "spinach": to cut carbs & added sugar, to get more protein, to do cardio or resistance training, to drink more water and less alcohol.
Know that you can have the smoothie - you just need to choose the right ingredients to get the smoothie you want.

The belief that you must work out every day to get and stay fit, is a misnomer. It is false. Rest is an important part of any exercise program. I would venture to say that it is the MOST important part. Want to know why? Listen in!

Author Jim Afremow in “The Champions Mind – How Great Athletes Think, Train and Thrive" says that self-control is the secret of champions. I say self-control is the secret to any health and wellness success.
If you can develop the ability to hold on for the larger reward, you will be successful. If you can bypass tempting treats, such as certain foods or skipping a workout or cutting it short, then you will pass your own marshmallow test. If you resist the short cuts in your fitness and nutrition, you will have more success in the long run.

Quitting is so easy when things aren’t going great, when something is just too hard, or isn’t going your way. To be able to say, “That’s it. I’m done. No more. Someone else’s problem. I’ll live with the consequences.”
But then the next day comes and you feel regret. You know you let the best of your emotions get to you. If only you had had these three tools to keep you from quitting on the spot.

In the area of finding women who are role models in the midlife space, I would definitely put Bossa Bar Founder, Julie Gordon White, and what she has created for women in Menopause right up there. I love the opportunity to support midlife women entrepreneurs who are speaking out, educating, and creating product and services for women just like us.
I hope that you are finding the encouragement to view your own menopause and midlife journey as one where you can feel empowered. Empowerment starts with putting yourself first.
Go grab some BOSSA BARS for yourself to use as a quick grab at breakfast, crumbled over yogurt, as a midday snack, during exercise or after exercise. They are perfect for all of these scenarios. Use the code LESLEY10 to get a discount.

How many times have we rushed through a workout to get to our next to-do or spent all of our workout thinking about what we have to do after? I'm guilty for sure.
But taking the time to exercise, to workout, to lift weights, to get some cardio, is YOUR TIME. It is your time to BE IN THE MOMENT and focus on yourself. Don't give that up rushing to the next thing. Put yourself and your health needs at the front of the line, enjoy what you are doing for yourself.
Everything else will have it's due time.

We are human and are obsessed with the booty, but on the other hand we end up using our own to sit for hours in the same position - at our desk, on the couch, in our car. When our glute muscles aren't activated properly, they get "sleepy" and don't function as they should.
Let's talk about what the booty does for us and what we can do for it. I've got 3 ways to start TODAY to WAKE UP those butt muscles so that people can start admiring it again.

If you let quitting win every time something gets hard, you’ll never improve, progress, or master. You’ll just stay stuck in the same place.

Maybe you've told yourself for years that You can’t get fit or you don’t like exercise. Or you’ll never be athletic or that you are not coordinated enough.

Losing your "midlife middle" won't be easy, but it can be done. If you feel like you've done everything you can, you just have to go back and look at it again while talking through it with someone else. You may see things there you didn't before.
Katie felt like she was doing everything she could to lose that 10 pounds that had crept on over a couple of years. She was frustrated because it seemed that nothing worked. But as we examined what she was eating, it became obvious what needed to change and the help she needed to help her reach he goals from her family.
In two months Katie lost 13 inches and put on lean muscle and is living her best life.

This conversation with my 20-something adult daughter Cate filled my soul. It is so easy to not see how much our kids have grown up, until we sit back and really see them and listen to what they have to say.
Every relationship between a parent and their adult child is different, but I do think that Cate has some amazing advice to give parents who are letting their children head out of the nest and begin to build their own adult life.
They will be our kids forever, but parents, like life, goes in stages. Parenting children, parenting teens, parenting 20-somethings, parenting 30-somethings. It’s okay to explore and rewrite the rules for yourself. Just make sure to listen.
It's time to start your new life, just like they are. And it starts with taking better care of yourself. Now through this Mother's Day I have a gift for you. If you purchase the Midlife in Motion program, you will get a FREE 30 minute 1:1 call with me where we will sit down and talk about the things that are holding you back in this new phase and what you can do to become more focused on the things you KNOW you need to be doing.

Sometimes even 30 days feels overwhelming to tackle a fitness and nutrition plan. But what if you stared with just 7 days. Making a few changes and follow through for 7 days. Could you do that? Would getting a "WIN" help you move on to bigger and better and longer goals?
Today I am talking with Betsy and we're talking about her need for variety of exercise, what small changes she can make in her nutrition every day and how we're going to start with just 7 days before moving on to a longer 30 day goal.

If you have given birth to children in your life, no matter your age, you are postpartum. And one of the biggest things that we continue to deal with through life that stems from childbirth is stress urinary incontinence, leakage. But never fear, in case you have felt there hasn't been hope to get your old life back, near reversal is possible no matter how many years postpartum you are.
My guest today, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Laura Chambers, is here to talk to us about the steps you can begin to take today to improve upon, if not eventually recover from, your stress urinary incontinence issues in midlife. Trust me, nobody likes to be called “pee-pee pants” like my adult kids call me after I return from a long run.
Your midlife health and the quality of life you want to lead matter and deserve your attention. So let’s get to it!

It's time to get moving! This is your weekly Monday Morning Motivation to make movement happen for you this week. Remember that comparing apples and oranges isn’t helpful, but when you compare apples to apples, you can see that gains.
It's the same with your own progress. Don’t compare your progress against someone else – that isn’t what counts. Compare your progress against yourself. Keep working step by step to make progress – push yourself a little more each week and keep at it.

What if I told you that in midlife many of your best days still ahead of you? You need to ask yourself, how do you want to show up for those best days? How much do you want to enjoy them? And how much will you being in your best health affect them?
You answer these questions, listen to this episode and try not to start moving this week. Won't happen.

What kind of toxic burden is your body trying to carry and clear? Think you aren't affected by all of the toxins that surround us every day - an increasing amount - Well my guest Elyse Rooney wants to know how you are sleeping? Are you sicker more than usual? How are your periods and PMS symptoms? Do you have skin issues?
If you answered yes, then you may be dealing with a heavier than usual toxic load that your body is working hard to clear. It is working so hard that it has had to put a lot of other things on the back burner.
If you want your body to function better, then you need to consider doing a home detox, going low-tox in some of your cleaning and personal care items. And what better time to do that than this spring as we are all looking to clean our homes and freshen them up for the summer.
Elyse is the facilitator of the Home Detox Method where she goes through each room and what you could do and what you should do to lessen the amount of toxins and chemicals being used in that room. You will learn what to look for on labels when purchasing and get some practical DIY tips on products you can make yourself.

It is so easy to declare to others what our health goals are in hopes that telling this person will make us accountable. We give them all the power over us reaching our goals. But I say be selfish. Keep this to yourself. Hold yourself accountable. Be proud of yourself first before looking for that from someone else.
You are powerful and you’ve got this.

One thing is for certain; when opportunity shows up, it is usually not the "right time". And so we let fear speak for us as we pass it up. But what would happen if you said yes, no matter if it was the right time or not. Who knows what could lie on the other side of that "yes".
Suzanne Webster and her husband Steven have lived by that motto as they have made huge life moves over the years - uprooting and moving across the country with three teens, then selling their home and moving onto a boat, and finally traveling the waters of the Pacific Northwest for months at a time.
Suzanne tells us about the decisions they have made and what life is like aboard their "salty girl" Fortitude. We talk about empty nests and having kids spread out across the world and how their approach to exploring opportunities has afforded their kids to do the same.
You won't want to miss this very fun episode and then go find Suzanne and Fortitude on instagram HERE.

"DOMS" or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is the result of physical activity that stresses the muscle tissue beyond what it is accustomed to. Small microscopic tears occur in the muscle. But it is completely normal and nothing to worry about. In fact, it's needed for muscle growth, since muscle is built back stronger during the muscle repair process.
But being so sore that you can't move doesn't make you want to keep going back for more of the same. The good news? DOMS peaks at 24 - 72 hours and decreases in amount the longer you continue an activity.
In the meantime, I've got 6 Ways to give you some relief and recover more quickly from being sore. You are going to want to remember these.

It would be so much easier to take on health challenges if we knew IF and WHEN we were going to be successful or see the benefits. But unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. The results you want are right around the corner, but you've got to get to the corner first.
Stick it out. Suffer in silence. Don't quit. Believe in yourself. Know that every minute that you stay on this midlife health path that you are doing your body good and contributing to a more vital future.
Get your butt in gear! Let's make good and informed nutrition and fitness choices this week.

Freedom is the driver for fitness in this phase of life. Kelly reminds us that at this time we may have more time, money, and less responsibility, but if we don't have the fitness to be able to enjoy those things, we've missed a central life component.
To gain benefit from movement you have make a goal to be consistent, and once you have established your consistency through habit, you will gain freedom to enjoy all of the things that life brings at this time in your life. Bottom Line.
In this episode, Kelly and I touch on:
- Why fitness is important
- How to turn the feeling of fitness from punishment into reward
- Why mindset is so important in fitness
- Why midlife is the perfect time to start on your fitness plan
- How to begin to see improvement in your fitness
- What is the cascading effect of movement
- How do find time in your schedule for movement
- What is consistency and why is IT important
- How to create a weekly fitness plan
- What is the best type of accountability
Thanks so much for being with us today. If anything we want everyone to know that even a little bit of fitness goes a long way. And the more we are able to make ourselves a priority, the more we will be able to be there for others and for ourselves as we age. Like Kelly says, Fit is Freedom.

Have you tested with high A1C levels? Are you in pre-diabetes? Has the doctor told you that you need to make some changes? Are you supposed to cut carbs to get to A1C normal range, but don't know how many carbs per day you should be getting?
If you don't know where to start, what you need to be changing, or even what a normal A1C level is, today's episode is for you. My friend, nurse, and cyclist Tracy Tolson is here to sing to the choir.
Tracy is a very fit 62 year old with no family history of high A1C levels, yet a year ago got the news from her PCP - Primary Care Physician that she needed to meet with an endocrinologist and nutritionist to get her A1C levels down before she was in full-blown diabetes.
It was a wake up call and she made the necessary changes to get level down herself WITHOUT the use of medication. And she is here on the pod to tell us all how she did it and to encourage you to do the same if you are in the same boat.
If you need help making the changes that we talk about today - make sure to come find me - All of the links are below - I hope to work with you soon.

When it comes to a midlife fitness and nutrition journey, you only get out of it what you put into it. If you put in only a couple days of better food choices and a couple of days of slow walking and one day of lifting weights, then that is all of the benefit that you will get out of it.
If you are going to do it, do it. Don't half-ass. Reap all the exercise benefits. Make it worth your time and get the results you desire.
Get moving friend!

Squirrels don't care which will succeed, as long as one of them does. Then they all set their sites on succeeding themselves. They have a singular focus. You have to move through your "thing" with blinders on. Know that it is possible. Don't let anything or anyone convince you to give up, not even yourself.

Motivation is an elusive thing. You can have it one minute and the next minute it is gone. Kind of like knowing why you are going upstairs, but forgetting why you are there when you get there.
Motivation, getting motivated, and staying motivated are things you need to be aware of. They don't just happen. You have to build your motivation like you would a fire. You need both kindling (external motivators) and logs (intrinsic motivators) to keep it burning.
I hope you enjoyed this episode. I am still learning too, but I know when we all get a handle on it, motivation will be easier to come by.

Just when you think you have a handle on your limiting beliefs - or when you think the imposter syndrome is finally corralled...that's when something happens to throw you into a tailspin. It is because those things are never cured.
And everyone has them. It doesn't matter who you are, what age you are, what sex or color you are, or how much money you have - we ALL deal with the same thing.
I've been having one of those negative "flare-ups" and I want to talk about it and go through a refresher on the 10 ways to soothe that savage beast. No one is immune to this thing so I think it so important to get it out in the open and talk about.

I've got 3 ways to get more protein in that doesn't have anything to do with dinner.

Your Dating Anniversary. The date of your first date. The “gotcha day” of your marriage story. Do you remember when it was? More importantly, do you celebrate it? And is that even a thing? How important is it when you’ve been married over 20-25 years? Or it is just a good excuse to not cook and have dinner out?
We're talking first dates that turn into F O R E V E R.....but in a good way. Nobody knows when they have a first date that it will last, but for the ones that do, I think a celebration is in order. Keep the love alive!
Be married for how ever many years, but date forever.

It is said that what is happening in your mouth is a mirror to what is happening in your overall health. That the mouth is the mirror to the body. And that sentiment is confirmed by MY dentist Dr. Jayme Meyer.
Dr. Meyer is on today to talk to us all about what she is looking for and what we should be looking for as our mouths and everything in them age. She talks to us about what to expect, what to take special care of, and what to look for when it comes to oral cancer.
Our oral care is something we don't think about a lot as we age, but we should all be very aware of how important it is to overall health.

Welcome to your weekly dose of Monday Motivation to get your body moving. I read in a book recently that we are only motivated to do the things we care about. So as much as my weekly kick in the booty might help you in the moment, you really need to dig underneath and figure out the REASON/S why your care. Because without that you will not be successful.
You need to use all the tools in your arsenal to keep going, but always start with this one.

"So what do you consider midlife?". I exaggerate, but probably have been asked that question a million times. Honestly, for me, I've never considered midlife a bad or horrible stage of life, but for many others they cringe when they hear the word. Especially when it used to describe them. So let's examine. What is midlife anyway?

Leslie Lindsey Davis lost 100 pounds. And she did it by putting a stake in the ground and deciding to become healthy in three ways: Physically, Emotionally, and Mentally. In today's episode she shares ways for all of us to fuel our journey to lose weight by filling the the self-sized hole that we may have in our lives.
Takeaways:
1. A lot of times when we are starting a journey to discover or better ourselves, we find that there is a self-sized hole in our hearts that we are desperate to fill with food or some other vice.
-
It’s usually pretty apparent to yourself when you are unhealthy, but you may not be sure about how to go about getting healthy - mentally, physically and emotionally. You just have to start small in each of these areas.
-
Put your stake in the ground - know that you NEED to change and then control what you can control.
-
The brain likes hits of endorphins, good or bad, so pay yourself with good words and behaviors. Be aware of what you are saying to yourself and make it good, instead of bad.
-
There aren’t any bad choices. There are not so good choices, good choices, and great choices.
-
There are no CHEAT days or CHEAT meals. Think about the words you are saying because they have deep meaning on how we think. You can only cheat on taxes, test, and on your spouse. Everything else is a choice.
-
Little lies we tell ourselves: If you eat a broken cookie there are no calories. If you eat off someone else's plate it doesn’t count. The thing you realize is that the only person you are lying to is yourself. The outside world can see the evidence of you lie.
-
When you begin the journey of finding yourself pack your bag with things that will help you. Create a relationship with yourself though journaling because when you can see the words on paper and can reread them, you can do something with it.
-
When you having a bad day and want to sabotage your journey, stop and ask yourself what is really going on.
-
Take progress photos of yourself on the journey - because our brains are trained to keep a picture of us and what we looked like at the beginning. Throughout these progress photos, not only will you see progress in your health, but in your mental and emotional lightness as well.
-
Get rid of clothes that don’t fit anymore. Don’t hang onto them because they mentally give you permission to go backward. Those clothes are reminder of who you used to be. They don’t serve you anymore.
-
A journey is a ME thing, not a WE thing. But you need a team.

When we were young we just gravitated toward our personal style. But through the years as we focus much of our time and money on others, our personal style gets put on the back burner. Sometimes we may even lose our own sense of self. In midlife we re-emerge looking to rediscover the style that we once had, but don't know how to adapt it to our new midlife bodies.
Wardrobe Stylist Jennifer Mackey Mary is with me today to talk about all the reasons that drastic makeovers don't work. What we need to do is have an understanding of a who we are, find the words describe how we want to look, knowledge of how to dress our shape, and get to a place where we are happy with everything in our closet.
All of these are keys to raising our energy levels and your vibration to new opportunities.
Personal Style is a skill and it is okay if you are having trouble rediscovering yours. If you need help, make sure to find Jennifer at all of the following:

My podcast guest last week, Nicky Clarke (Episode 135) ended our conversation stating that none of us gets a do-over in life. That we have to make the most of the days we have in order to be happy at the end. And this applies to your health as well.
Where do you see yourself in 10 or 20 years. What are you doing? What are you enjoying? Are you traveling or playing with your grandkids?
Now look at your health today. With how you are treating your health and wellness today, will you be able to reach those pictures you have of yourself in 10-20 years. If not, it's time to get moving. You need a plan.

What is the whole deal behind vision boards and bucket lists? Do these things ever happen? How do we even begin to make these things come true? Bucket lists are great for someday, but they aren't making these things happen. What you need is a GOALS or ACTION list of things you want to work to make happen. Bottom line.
Drink up while I am over here recovering from COVID...again.
Make it happen people!
Sending LOVE!

I'm more of an advocate of overall lifestyle choices and decisions, which has that wonderful byproduct of weight loss and body composition redistribution, but I hear all the time , "I just want to know what I need to do to lose some of this midlife middle".
I heard you and today I have the #1 thing you need to do to lose weight, following by the #2 thing and then I threw in the #3 thing for good measure.
It's a good plan. It's not easy, but it works. There you are. You have it. No go do it.

If you think those you consider "motivated" are always that way, you'd be wrong. I've got a story for you about my own struggle with getting motivated this past weekend. I know what it feels like to have to dig deep and just get started. I've been there many times and this weekend was no exception.
I hope you hear this story to decide to PUSH THROUGH your start as well. It's all downhill from here.

Surviving winter is what all of us are doing come February. It starts out all fine when we break out all the puffy in September. It's cute and cozy and a nice change from all of our summer gear.
But by February, we are done with the puffy, the sweaters, the cold weather, and the gray days that go with it. March, April, and May seem so far away. I would say that we have definitely entered winter survival mode.
If you are struggling with old man winter and the winter blues that he brings, I've got 5 easy tips on how to lighten your mood and hopefully make the days more bearable till we get to greener and WARMER pastures.

Coach Nicky Clarke from Chapter 2 Unleashed is here today to talk about how our roles change in midlife and the adaption process. We change. Our relationships change. And so our titles may not change, but our roles within those titles MUST change.
Midlife, or the Second Chapter, is such an amazing time that we can rewrite for ourselves. We have the freedom to explore what lights us up and to bring that forward and into our lives moving forward. No need for limiting beliefs or imposter syndrome, because we are rewriting our story the way we want it told.
Boundaries must be set. Guild must be let go. Bucket lists need to be created. And living must be done because we don't get a do-over. This is it friends.

It may sound a little vein and there is NO SHAME in it - there is nobody that wants to break out their tank top arms in spring and early summer without feeling confident that they have put in some work during the winter to show them off. Let's just all be honest here.
It's February and you've got time. But April, May and summer months are coming. Put in the work now to come out swinging. If you've never lifted weights before, let's get you started in the Midlife in Motion program!

Welcome! Today I have an amazing REPLAY of my episode with the author of the book Life Disrupted - Finding Your Way Forward When The World Is Upside Down. Tracy Baldwin is here to discuss how we as midlife women, must learn to adhere to the STOP SIGNS in our life before we face burnout or perhaps a breakdown and left wondering "what is it all for, what am I doing, and is this it?"
It's important to acknowledge that we all face STOP SIGNS in life and we need to learn how to be in the moment and centered within ourselves to deal with them and Tracy is here to share her own very real and raw story of how she learned to do that.
Please enjoy this episode and make sure to SHARE with a friend and then consider Tracy's book for your book club and even have Tracy speak to your group. Here are the links to find the book and find Tracy:

One of the symptoms of life in perimenopause and menopause that doesn't get talked about is fatigue, feeling tired, and brain fog. But this tired feeling need attention because it can either be dealt with naturally with some small lifestyle changes OR it's a sign of a greater underlying health issue.
Today board certified Functional Health Coach, Licensed Ecclesiastical Holistic Practitioner, and host of the Treasured Wellness podcast, Michelle McCoy is here to talk to us about this feeling of fatigue and brain fog and about all of the ways that we can boost our energy naturally to help us feel better during the day or to help us sleep at night. Both very important things as we age.

Through the years we wear the badge of putting ourselves and our needs last proudly. We martyr ourselves because if we don’t, we are shamed into believing that if we aren’t putting others first all the time, then we aren’t a good (fill in the blank) wife, mother, daughter, friend, employee, and on and on.
Breaking the pattern of martyrdom and beginning to believe that you and what you need are just as important as everyone else’s needs doesn’t happen overnight, but it all starts with belief in the statement, “I deserve it”. Just as much as everyone else does, if not more.
I hope you enjoy this week's FNBB - INVEST IN YOURSELF!

I started working with Katie Key at the end of November and she is a rockstar. I could tell that Katie was serious about wanting to make a change and begin to gain control of her life through a needed health journey. And boy, did she!
Katie not only lost weight, but a lot of inches even during the holiday season. We worked through eating healthy, protein, and communication with family and getting their support. And we discussed the importance of not only cardio exercise, but strength training to redistribute your body weight.
Her confidence has soared because she knows she did it herself without relying on crazy diets or pills. It was all her and her good choices. She encourages everyone to invest in yourself because you deserve it and SO DO I!
Let's work together in the Midlife in Motion program! I would be honored!

My first key to success has always been "Consistency is Key". But if I were to have another it would be that in order to know where you are going, you have to know where you are starting. And in order to do that we need to be AWARE. To have AWARENESS of everything around us.
Once we are able to become aware of where our time is spent, what we are eating, what we aren't doing in order to be healthier, then it is much easier to develop a good plan with actionable and achievable goals.
And that is what Jennifer has able to do since our Midlife in Motion Kickstarter Call back in October. And she has gained so much clarity on her direction and what she wants as she continues to reach for even bigger goals.
Thanks for listening today - I hope that you will join us when the Midlife in Motion program launches on January 26th!

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY if you are turning this magical age in 2023! I don't care if you dread it, haven't planned for it, or are excited for this next chapter - it is coming no matter what you say or feel. So you need to be ready.
My friend Rachel Fagerberg, who herself is turning fifty, is with me today to contemplate that number, that age, how she is preparing, and what turning 50 means to her.
There is something about turning fifty that makes us all reflective and with a tendency to do some of our own personal development. I did that. And Rachel is doing that.
A few of the insights from this conversation:
-
Turning 50 is a moment for pause to reflect and look back at all of the phases of your life, those different journeys and to realize that not having your life together 100% is pretty normal.
-
Fifty is definitely a time of personal growth. It’s the time you finally learn to set boundaries with intent so in order to be the best version of you without any regrets
-
Fifty is a time of mindset change and shifting priorities. For Rachel, she is I making herself a priority and realizing that she not going to please everyone, so she is giving herself permission to stop trying.
This is also to time to really start to evaluate your overall health. We all want to be here long after we turn 50, so we talk about the health coaching that she and I did, what she learned, what she implemented, and the results that she has seen.
Make sure to FOLLOW this show if you don't already, and RATE AND REVIEW or SHARE it with a friend that also may be turning 50 this year.
And if you are wanting to focus on your health moving into your 5th decade, make sure to check out the Midlife in Motion program .

I hate to keep harping on resolutions and health resolutions in general, but I've been where you are. I'm made so many declarations at midnight on the 31st, only to give up by now.
I was going to:
· Workout or Exercise More
· Eat less and focus on better nutrition
· Drink less alcohol
· Drink more water
· Get more sleep
To be so fired up in the beginning and doing all the needed preparation to keep those promises to yourself. But maybe you are like every other normal person and are struggling right about now.
What did you miss? Well I think you missed this very important item. Clarity. I know that when I've failed at similar things that I have forgotten to do this very important thing. The truth is, how do you know where you are going if you don't know where you are starting?
Thank you for listening today and don't forget to SHARE this episode with a friend so that they can do this thing too in order to be successful this New Year. And throw this podcast a 5 Star Rating and Review! I'd be so grateful!

There are a lot of things we try to train ourselves to do at the beginning of a new year. We write out lists of resolutions about them. I am going to quit drinking. I am going to get more sleep. I am going to call my mom more. I am going to practice more self-care.
Unfortunately, these things are not as easy as training yourself to write or type the new year. Resolutions are quick fixes, quick answers to “what is this next year going to look like?” And like most quick fixes, they usually don’t hold.
What you need is to set a goal. Whether that is for your career, your love life, or your health. Setting goals isn’t an either-or or all or nothing.
OK - I'm beating this resolution thing to within an inch of it's life. But now is the time to recognize that resolutions suck. Sorry, not sorry. Anyway, soon we'll only be talking about goals. That is a good thing.
I'm also going to be beating a dead horse about my 30-day Midlife In Motion program - I gotta let people know about it cause it's awesome. So if you get tired of hearing about it, just get on the waitlist and then skip through that section of the podcast. I won't be offended.

We all have the best of intentions, especially at the start of a new year. We are going to do better or turn things around. We resolution ourselves without setting ourselves up with a plan to achieve the success. One of the big keys to any kind of healthy lifestyle for 2023 is going to be the need to recognizing and breaking any kind of sugar or carb addiction that you have. And more than likely, you have one.
Today, Lifestyle Medicine Physician Dr. Lucy Burns is with us to help us do just that. To help us recognize our sugar addiction and become more aware of what it is, where it came from, what it does to our bodies, and finally what we can do to break that sucker!

- What are Sugar and Carb Addictions
- Do YOU have a sugar addiction?
- The Brain and Dopamine
- Society And Marketing's role in our addictions
- The emotions of eating
- Why are we overweight?

- How we eat and what we eat affects our bodies and genes
- What is menopausal weight gain and how does it happen
- How important is movement
- What is intermittent fasting and what does it do for weight loss
- The menopausal bloat vs menopausal weight gain
- The extreme and invasive procedures of losing weight
- What does a healthy gut microbiome do for us
- The #1 thing we can do to lose belly fat
- How much protein should we be getting
- What supplements should you be taking
- How soon can I see results
You will want to listen to this episode a couple of times and then go get Dr. Deanna's book - the "Dr. Deanna's Healing Handbook" in order to find out all of the WHYS behind your good health. You can find it at Amazon at this link:

If someone wanted you to give a "Year in Review" would you know what you would highlight or mention as goals reached or know of things you definitely want to continue to work on into the next year?
This is my Redesigning Midlife and very personal 2022 Year in Review and Setting of 2023 Intentions. I seriously believe that reviewing and setting new intentions or goals keeps all of your efforts focused forward - every single day. Some things may happen, some may not, but it you put in effort - the needle WILL move.
Thank you for listening this year and I look forward to bringing you even more goodness in 2023. I hope you find peace and really start to prioritize your health and wellness in this next year. Don't forget that if you need a good starting place for your fitness and nutrition journey, the MIDLIFE IN MOTION 30-day program will be available at the end of January.

Performance and Mindset Coach Leah Jantzen has heard all of the midlife excuses - I can’t. I don’t have time. It costs too much. I don’t know how. I’m too old. And on and on. She says it's time to put yourself on the hook for a change. Of course you can, change your priorities. Choosing good health doesn't cost anything. Everyone has time. And what is too old? There is no such thing.
Leah knows that if she can do the things she has done, then so can you. And she has done some amazing things this year. She'll tell us all about those things and how she was successful before delving into how we can do the same things at whatever level we would like to be successful. It's all about mindset, having a desire, making the choice, and then being committed to it.
Better health is a needed investment in yourself. And what do we call investment in yourself - GOOD SELF-CARE! And that is something we all need.
I am so honored to have Leah back on the podcast this year. She was on last January to talk to us about getting back on track with resolutions, which you should check out.
If you would like to find Leah, make sure to follow her on instagram:

Hey midlife friend! Christmas is over. 2022 is ALMOST over. 2023 is staring you in the face. And you have big plans that you will start January 1st. You are going to lose weight, drink water, eat better, get lots of sleep, and workout - every day - starting January 1st.
Has this plan ever worked more than a few days to a week for you? What are you waiting for? Why not start TODAY instead of January 1st? At least on ONE of the things you plan to tackle - if you can a jump on one of them, the rest - drinking water, getting better nutrition, sleeping more, etc, will come easier.
It's better late than never.
If you are over 50 and need someone to help you get started with a good 30-day plan, I've got 2 spots available in January and would love to help you get on a good path to better health and to that weight loss if that is what you desire.
Email me at hello@lesleylmcshane.com so we can see if this would be a good fit.
Nobody should go it alone and having a coach by your side takes some of the pressure off. So I'm here for you.
Talk soon friends!

Are you feeling pressure to make this Christmas PERFECT for everyone else? Do you struggle with perfectionism on the whole? Striving for perfection can be a terrible thing. It can make you highly critical of yourself and everyone around you. It forces you to have unrealistic standards, causes you to focus only on results and feeling depressed when those results don’t materialize.
What is wrong with just doing your best and finding satisfaction in all of the things? Satisfaction leads to happiness. It gives you a sense of achievement. It makes you feel that life is good. Being satisfied is being content. And when you’ve done your best it simply means that all things considered, there are sufficient benefits and that you are driving continued improvement.
My thought is that you need to enjoy life. Enjoy the ride. Enjoy the little things. Enjoy the wins. And don’t let some fake sense of perfection steal it all away from you.
We hope that you ALL have a very Merry Christmas and are setting up your 2023 to be the best ever!

As we age we become much more aware of regrets of our past and fear regrets that we may have in the future. While we can't fix the regrets of our past, except with the understanding that we were making the best decisions we could in the moment with the information we had, we can definitely focus on the things we may have regrets about later in life.
In order to combat these regrets, I've got three things you can start to do NOW to ease those regrets of the future. Start today and be aware of these things. Be present, Be curious, and take care of your health.
Your 70, 80, 90 year old self with thank you and thank me for making you aware.
Cheers friends.
If you are ready to get from point A to point B in your health journey to avoid health regrets of the future, you need to email me to help get your started.

You are about to give up. You just CAN'T start working out until after the holidays and January 1st gets here. BOO! It's just so not true. Just because it's a holiday week, doesn't mean you can't get a sweat on. Christmas isn't until next Sunday, so get moving!
This is your weekly kick in the pants! I've got your short Monday Morning Workout Motivation - you'll never feel crappy if you get a workout in, whether it is a good one or a bad one - but you'll always feel crappy when you don't get anything in. There are no bad workouts.
There. I said it. The only bad workout is one that didn't happen. Now get on it.
Till next Monday! And Merry Christmas.
You need more accountability?

According to AARP, Americans age 50 and up contribute so much to the U.S. economy that they’d constitute the world’s third-largest economy if they were counted as their own country. This comes as no surprise to Donna Korren, former magazine executive, Ted X speaker, writer, and brand collaborator.
Donna is with me to talk about how we as an "Over 50" demographic hold all of the cards when it comes to purchasing power, but may not realize it. We are all too worried about how to navigate this next chapter.
She encourages us to embrace our empty nests and become an emptyquester, someone who decides to get on with getting on and do the work to find out who they are NOW and start working toward something new. And what better way to do that than in community with other like-minded women.
And with our numbers, comes great power - she reports that the 50+ demographic is responsible for 56 cents of every dollar spent - 40% of gross domestic product. And brands are taking notice. Gone are the days of being told who we are by advertising and the media, it is time to self-represent and tell them who we are instead.
Donna is a wonderful facilitator working with women to figure out their next chapter and you can find her and her "What's Next Workshop" at her website:

Every single woman that I have coached and am coaching knows that I am going to mention resistance training and they know they should be doing it, but just don't - for no particular reason. But this type of strength training is so crucial to us as we age and I am going through five benefits you will get if you add it to your workout plan.
Let's just say that you can slow down and even reverse sarcopenia - muscle loss, you can build bone and avoid Osteoporosis, it will help your flexibility, balance, and coordination, helps prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and helps your general overall health.
I encourage you to start your 2023 by adding resistance training, lifting weights, and strength training into your overall workout plan. You don't have to love it or even like it when you start, but when you begin to gain strength, you'll want to keep going.
If you would like to work with me to add some resistance training into your plan, email me at hello@lesleylmcshane.com and we can see if it would be a good fit for you.

How is your self-talk? Do you look in the mirror and wonder where that 25 year old went? Do you only see your gray hair, wrinkles, and extra weight? Let me break it to you gently, you will never be 25 again. That ship has sailed. What you DO need to be focusing on is not Anti-Aging, but Aging Well.
And part of aging well is doing the things you know will keep you in top shape mentally and physically. A consistent exercise routine is one of those. And being consistent means making that CHOICE every day to put your health first. Making that choice once is easy, but making it day after day is hard. But you can do it because you absolutely deserve to feel your very best every day as you age.
Fitness over 50, Workout routine, Exercise routine, Consistency, Follow Through

A big welcome back to the podcast to Dr. Kelly Casperson. Kelly is a urologist with advanced training in pelvic medicine and surgery, but most important for us, she is working hard to normalize how we talk about and approach sex, because let’s face it, a lot of us were left in the dark on the subject as we grew up.
She has authored a book with the same title as her podcast "You Are Not Broken" to bring awareness to some real basic and fundamental facts that we may not know about sex itself, sexual desire, menopause and hormone replacement therapy, and life around our sex lives in general. She calls it her advocacy work.
A few takeaways from today's conversation:
Two things all women 50+ should know about their bodies that they may not know:
-
The clitoris is where your orgasm comes from. Not the Penis in Vagina or PIV. The clitoris is the target.
-
Everything in your life affects your sex life. Your sex life is not in a bubble. The way you live your life affects your sex life. If you are sleeping poorly, if your health is bad, if your thoughts are negative, If your relationship isn’t doing well, if you think the dishes in the sink getting done is more important than sex – all these things will affect your sex life.
Other Takeaways:
3. It’s important to ask yourself – who do you want to be when you are 74? You need to prioritize sleep and exercise and eating right because if you want to keep feeling great long into the future you’ve got to do the things that 74 year old will be grateful for the 50 year old put into thought and into action.
-
A woman’s desire doesn’t necessarily come before sex. It may come before, it may come during and it may not happen until after. Wow that was great. I forgot how great it is, can you remind me how great that is?
-
Menopause is normal if you are blessed enough to live that long – it’s going to happen. And it’s important to communicate with your partner about what you learn about menopause and explain what you are going through. Otherwise they are just guessing themselves. And that never goes well.
Make sure to listen to Kelly on her podcast "You Are Not Broken" and find her book at Amazon: https://a.co/d/1kGQvGC
It is also available on Audible.
You can follow Kelly on instagram: http://www.instagram.com/kellycaspersonmd

Last year my friend Lindsay de Swart and I sat down for a Fireside Chat episode where we took a look forward into where we might be in a year. Lindsay never would have realistically guessed what her year might look like. She took a deep dive into her life, her marriage, and everything that was affected by those and turned her world upside down.
When her family's future was at a fork in the road, she chose to take the road less traveled, but the one she knew she HAD to take.
I know that we will all be touched in some way by her story. Facing fear. Having to put ourselves first sometimes. Having to upset the apple cart of others and the guilt over that. Knowing and accepting that change needs to happen. Admitting that things aren't perfect and owning that. Beating back all the judgement and guilt from herself and others and then and relying outside help to get her through when she couldnl't do it herself.
I think when we face all of these things, we find out who we truly are and what we are truly capable of. My friend Lindsay is one of the strongest women that I know. I guarantee all of you are the second strongest women that I know. As Glennon Doyle says, We Can Do Hard Things, especially when we know that we will be lost if we don’t.
If you find also find yourself in a place where big change needs to happen before you are lost, know that change and making big pivots takes time and sacrifice. But it’s important to make that investment. I may not know you personally, but I know you. You are worth it and you deserve it.
Thanks for listening today. If you have enjoyed today’s episode – make sure to share it with a friend and FOLLOW the show on Apple podcasts or wherever you listening so that future episodes will show up in your podcast library.
And go to the show page and make sure to RATE and REVIEW this episode! Find Lindsay on her show MAGICAL MIDLIFE and send her some love as well. I know she would LOVE to hear from you. AND she has a private Facebook group where she is leading women in meditation and holding wonderful conversation. So find her there as well.

Goal Setting can be extremely overwhelming if you don't have the right techniques in place to help you create a good plan. It all starts with your foundational beliefs and if you don't know what those are, then you will struggle to reach any goal.
Cheryl Hart is back on the podcast today to talk to us about some Goal Setting Techniques to make sure that we start goal setting in a successful way so that we have all reasons to believe that we will reach those goals.
We'll talk about:
1. First, Take time for introspection. It is foundational to goal-setting. Sit and be quiet and write out your top 5 values and priorities in life and why.
-
Ask yourself these Foundational questions:
Who has influenced me the most in my life?
How would I like to be remembered?
Who are the people in my life that I admire the most and what qualities do they have?
When I’m at my best what - fill in the blank? -
Write a mission statement for your life. Set how you want to be remembered and work back from there in making decisions. Do your goals align with what you think your values are?
-
If the WHY of your goal is big enough then your purpose will be fulfilled. Vague goals produce Vague results.
-
The number one way to boost your confidence is to recall our past success. And if you are constantly comparing yourself to others and nothing is ever good enough, then we have nothing to draw from. Don’t let your ego of comparison get in the way.
-
Set goals by using the SMARTS system: Make your goals
- Specific
- Measurable
- Action-oriented
- Realistic
- Timely
-
Self-determined
-
Set an A goal (End), B goal (Halfway point), C goal (Short Term goals), Daily intentions and incremental steps to help you get to each point.
-
Remember that EVERYONE, even people who seem to always reach their goals has failed, experienced downtimes and dips, but they get back up. You have to practice being resilient.
-
Reaching a goal is a personal journey. Your goal is just that. YOUR goal.
-
At the beginning write down 5 obstacles that you may come up against and then a corresponding strategy to offset that obstacle
-
Find accountability partners - someone or someones who can help you overcome your obstacles. A network of supporters. And then let them know what they can do to best support you.
-
Have a new goal on the back burner so that when you have accomplished a goal you don’t have “let down”, you move onto the next thing. But be sure to pause and reflect. And celebrate how far you’ve come.
Thank you so much for listening today. Be sure to FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE. And if you would, please RATE or REVIEW - it means so much.

BLACK FRIDAY is HERE! It's a day to crack open the start of gift buying. Now, if you are like me, the first gift I buy is for me. It's a special kind of self-care. And I've got a great thing for you this Black Friday - whether it is for you or for someone else.
My 2022 creation of the You Deserve It Notebook: Goal Tracker, Planner, and Journal is available at Amazon for under $20. Amazon is still getting their cut (of course), but I am foregoing most of any profit to make sure this notebook gets into your hands. I am convinced that it will really help keep you on track for any goals and intentions that you have for 2023. It is a great way to begin to build consistency of self-care.
My friend Heather McMahon, host of the Creating You podcast had me on her show a few weeks ago and gave me the opportunity to talk about the notebook, about its creation, and about how it can help you plan out your exciting next chapter. And then she shared the episode with me so that I could share it with you. That's what friends are for.
To find the notebook at Amazon and to find me - all the deets are here:

There is nothing worse than building a healthy workout habit and starting to see results when travel happens or the holidays come. We worry about not having the opportunity to get our workouts in or about what will happen if we take a couple of days off.
First of all - you totally have permission to take a couple of days away from your workout routine to spend time with family. Your fitness will not suffer. But if you will be away for longer and or just want some ideas to get some movement in while traveling, I've got them for you today.
It may take a little research, planning, and preparation on your part, but it is totally doable and could even be different and fun, especially if you can get the whole family involved.
I am wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Make sure to keep this episode close if you are also traveling over Christmas and New Year.
And I definitely hope that you would like to grab one of the Midlife Health KickStarter Calls. This is a 1:1 zoom call with me where we talk about where you are in your nutrition and fitness and what 30 day health goal you would like to set and accomplish. We’ll develop a plan for you to get you on the path to reaching that goal. And you’ll start 2023 already in motion instead of just trying to get started.
If you would like to work with me, email me at hello@lesleylmcshane.com and I will send you a link to get scheduled.

Author Nicole Kalil, bringing her new book “Validation is for Parking - How Women Can Beat The Confidence Con” is with me today for the very important discussion about confidence - and how the confidence that we portray outwardly doesn't necessarily match up to how we feel inside.
Nicole's story is a cautionary tale and one that a lot of us have experienced and faced. We appear and "act" very confident on the outside, but inside we are hiding and afraid of being "found out". We may even be in such a dark place because of our lack of authenticity that we don't know how we will ever escape.
The beauty of it is that Nicole is here to help with all the ways we can shed that fear and begin to build confidence where it is most important - INSIDE of us. She is spilling the whys, whats, and the hows of confidence, our lack of it, and how we build it.
It's important to remember that confidence and trust in ourselves is a continual journey. Not a final place to arrive. Make sure to find Nicole at all of the following to join her on a confidence journey.

Tracking your food in a nutrition tracker or food journal is really the very first step in putting your health in good view. Taking care of your health really does start with your relationship with food, or the kitchen as I say. And when you are armed with all of your individual nutrition facts, you are able to define or redefine that relationship.
Is your goal midlife weight loss? Do you just want to get a handle on what your numbers actually are? Then keeping this information is going to be so key for you.
As always, if you have a serious concern, please consult a nutritionist or your physician, but I have some general rules of thumb when starting here. This is your starting place to get serious on the health goals that you may have for today, for the rest of this year, for 2023, or for the rest of your life.
I hope you get one little nugget out of this episode and if so, make sure to RATE or REVIEW this podcast. And especially do that if you roll on down to get a link to my own personal nutrition tracker, which is HERE:

Mike and I are BACK for the 85th Friday Night BeerBlog. Tonight we are talking about being an expert. So many of us doubt ourselves and our experience and don't consider ourselves a so-call "expert" in something, but honestly what is an expert anyway?
We talking about the qualifications of an expert and how each of us actually IS an expert at something and it is up to us to share those gifts with other people around us.
Thanks for listening this week and make sure to RATE and REVIEW this podcast - and be sure to join us again in two weeks for our next installment - but enjoy all the rest of Redesigning Midlife until then.
Have a fab week -

It is so important to take aging and longevity into our own hands, especially when there are things that you can do through exercise and lifestyle change to improve. One of them is your posture. We start out being told by our parents to stand or sit up straight and then we fall off the wagon ourselves as we age. The poor posture we adopt or develop over time has severe consequences in cognitive decline.
Chiropractor Dr. Rodney Wirth and his wife and Longevity Coach Karen Wirth are with me today to talk about posture, what bad posture does to our aging and cognitive decline, and what we can do ourselves to begin posture correction to reverse this cognitive decline (YES, that is possible).
Listen in as Karen gives us 5 ways to prevent cognitive decline with improved posture.
Make sure to follow Karen and Dr. Rodney on their podcast STANCE for HEALTH and on Karen's solo podcast HOPE IS POWERFUL. Together they are given out such amazing content on ways to increase your longevity with simple things you can educate yourself on.

The word "midlife" has grown to have such a negative connotation instead of being associated with the freedom that it actually holds. My guest today, Licensed Counselor and host of the Creating You podcast, Heather McMahon even wonders what is midlife anyway? No one can determine when their midlife is. Think about that for a minute.
What we need to remember is that we hold the power to turn any kind of midlife crisis into a midlife adventure. All we need are some midlife paradigm shifts. But it starts with going deep to find out what is holding you back.
Today to touch on:
- Things to look forward to in midlife
- How to take back the power
- Your internal messaging
- Going deeper
- Dealing with negative thoughts
- Keeping your word to yourself
- Figuring out you
- Developmental shifts
- Checking in with yourself
Thank you for listening today - please make sure to scroll down and RATE and REVIEW this podcast and share with someone. It all means so much.

It's the weekend again! You've worked hard to stay on top of your workout plan all week and look forward to perhaps a longer workout on the weekend or time to go somewhere new to workout, but Saturday or Sunday morning rolls around and you procrastinate to the point to not being able to do what you've looked so forward to.
You need to put this one accountability factor into play to make sure you follow through on the weekend. Do this thing and go kill it this weekend in your workout.

It is the middle of October and the crazy holiday season of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's are on us hard and fast. This is a crazy time of the year and we tend to just not mind our own nutrition and health needs to just "get through" this time of year.
And then we find ourselves at the doorstep of January 1st and we make all kinds of promises to ourselves to make our health a priority and lose at least 10 pounds and then we don't.
But what about the idea of making that promise to yourself in Mid-October, to make some small lifestyle changes now so that come January 1st, you won't feel so far behind the 8 ball and starting at an even higher weight.
I say, let's lose 10 pounds by January 1st! I've got some things to think about here in this episode and then join my Facebook group for some encouragement along with an accountability partner of your choice.

After a month off Mike and I are BACK!! We are on the road and in a hotel, but taking time out to record the podcast version of this week's Friday Night BeerBlog. No rest for the weary.
SO MUCH happened in September - including a bout of COVID for me. BOO! But during September Mike and I also celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary. How can it be that long? That seems insane to me.
Despite not being married 61 years like my former guest Peggy Togo was to her husband Jim, we still have 3 keys to success that have gotten us this far.
We hope you enjoy - it was weird being back on the Mic with Mike - but we did okay.

No one wants to get sick or be sick, but sometimes we just are and the only control we have is how we respond to it and prepare to make a comeback to our fitness journey once our body is ready.
It may have been difficult for you to start a exercise routine to begin with and now you are sick. You may feel that you will lose everything that you have gained and may be tempted to QUIT altogether, but I say, NO! What you have gained in your fitness will help you recover and the benefits of your healthy lifestyle will continue to reward you - SO GET UP!
In this episode we're talking about what you need to do to start slow and how to ramp your intensity back up so that you will be at pre-illness speed in no time.
So, let's start making a plan to get you well and back to taking care of your physical self.
Make sure to SHARE this episode if you know someone who could benefit and save it for yourself when and if you get sick. We all do, so you may need these tips sooner rather than later.

Welcome to the conclusion of Self Care September! And we're talking about the biggest hurdle of all - Self Compassion. Learning to give ourselves grace is the hardest thing of all. We show and give empathy to others all the time, but get stuck in our own mistake cycles.
It's time to break that and begin seeing ourselves as the imperfect beings that we are and be okay with it. In this episode we are going to talk about SEVEN ways to begin being compassionate to ourselves. As usual I tried to stop at five and just kept going.
And, I knew I wasn't feeling well, but after recording this episode, tested positive for COVID. And you can hear it - because I am a little of, so I apologize for that, but it is what it is. It's still an important message that I think you need to hear and I needed to say out loud.
I hope you enjoy the episode and come back for more as we explore Redesigning our Midlife.

Investing in yourself aka Making yourself a priority are huge components of Self Care. But we routinely make the excuses saying "I don't have time" or "I don't have enough money".
Today we are debunking those excuses, when we really just don't believe that we deserve to invest time or money in ourselves. I'm talking about 6 benefits of making that personal investment. There are many more, but these are top line.
We discuss:
1. How this investment builds confidence.
2. How it teaches others how to treat us.
3. How it teaches our children how to treat themselves.
4. How it actually saves time and money.
5. How it opens you up to other new opportunities.
I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, make sure to scroll on down to give me a 5-star rating. I would be most appreciative.
Also, if you are looking for a good way to start your mornings or to begin building a consistency practice so that you can create a plan to set bigger and bolder dreams, my You Deserve It Notebook: Goal Tracker, Planner, & Journal is available at Amazon just waiting for you to get started.

What is a life well-lived? Look no further than that of Ewing Fahey. Double art major, teacher, newspaper editor, television reporter, magazine editor, wife, mother...world renowned sculptor.
Ewing did it all and I had the opportunity to sit down with her to talk about all of the amazing adventures and obstacles she had to overcome in her life. Imagine being in New York City as a twenty-something as WWII was coming to an end. She is full of the stories of those that fled from Europe to find a better life here in the United States.
She talks about her life as a young woman, then how she changed directions in her 50s to take up the art that she loved, sculpting. She was award winning and worked well into her 90s.
Ewing passed away in July and has left such an amazing legacy for our hometown Louisville, KY as well as for her granddaughters.
I hope you enjoy this replay with a very fine woman. I hope you draw inspiration from her. I know I did.

Till our next episode - PEACE.
We often don't think of a morning routine as being good self care, but it is SO self care that it should probably be called self preservation instead.
A good morning routine will encourage you to spend time on yourself first thing in the day so that when the rest of the day becomes focused on others or eaten up by other responsibilities, you will have that time already put in where you came first.
My morning routine is super important to me and definitely a non-negotiable in my own self care. And it can look however you wish, but I am offering 10 suggestions of what you can add to your morning routine to find the right one for you.
I will give the complete list in my newsletter, but a few suggestions are:
- Gratitude Practice
- Daily Intentions
- Movement Plan
To see the full list - https://www.subscribepage.com/the-new-old-you-newsletter
And I am so proud to be able to offer the link to the tool I created for myself to make my morning routine more time efficient and manageable. It's the You Deserve It Notebook: Goal Tracker, Planner, And Journal. I created it for me and offer it to you if you need a place to start working on your consistency as well.

I passed the ACSM Certified Personal Trainer exam today. It was a BIG P moment for me. We're on the road, but figured out a way to do this podcast while driving just so I could talk about it and how we should all be more proud of ourselves than others are, especially when we're kicking ass.
Thanks for listening - have a safe Labor Day Weekend! See you in October - Mike and I are taking September off from the FNBB - we feel we deserve it.

Empty Nest coach Allie Hill is back to shower us with love and best tips, strategies, and advice on how to survive an empty nest. 20 million kids are headed to college, which means 20-40 million parents on their own solo journey to deal with an empty nest. It's important to remember that you are not alone on this road, but that there is good support and excellent steps you can take to make it a smoother transition for yourself.
Make your empty nest a happy nest!
Here are a few of the takeaways from today, but a complete list will be available in my newsletter next week and you can find the link to sign up for that here:
https://www.subscribepage.com/the-new-old-you-newsletter
TAKEAWAYS:
-
There are 20 million kids headed back to college this year, so double that number of parents navigating the empty nest journey. Know you are in good company. Navigating an empty nest is a solo journey that many of us take at the same time.
-
Doing mindset work is important. Take that focus that has been devoted to your kids and shift to yourself, your relationship, your friendships and think about what is going to make you feel more whole now that your kids are gone.
-
Try to have a plan in place in advance. Not a giant P plan, but a simple plan that is actionable. Like setting up a morning routine. Have something consistent that you will do everyday. Whatever works for you. Your brain needs certainty and consistency during this time.

Think about the feelings of your younger children when your older ones start leaving for school. They are used to having their sibling around and this is a big change for them, too. Encourage your college age kids to call home to talk to their younger brothers and sisters to assure them that they are still part of their life.
-
The best gift you can give your child when they go to college is take care of yourself. They want to know you are happy. Even if you aren’t, you can’t lay that on them when they are learning to navigate their new life.

Self-Care September will be here next week! Is it really a thing? I thought I came up with the idea, but according to Google, I didn't. I hate when other people have my good ideas first.
Anyway, still doing it and we're talking about it and what all of September will be about. And we learn whether Mike even knows what self-care is.
Thanks for listening - and make sure to RATE this podcast - but obviously only if it's 5 stars. Nothing else will do. :)
Later - tune in next Wednesday for some great Empty Nest Tips for Survival!
Peace.

I look forward to having you back next week when Allie Hill is here to talk about what to do with your EMPTY NEST!
Are you like me and listen to music all day? Like ALL DAY? And do you have certain music you listen to at certain times and for certain tasks? No? Well I do.
Lately, my work "theme music" has been tunes from the Barbra Streisand channel on Pandora. This music has soothed my ears while my other senses and mind have been jamming out some serious work.
All Hail Babs! It seems like a strange subject to be writing about, but with "The Way We Were" playing in my headphones daily, it's hard to concentrate on anything else, including another topic to blog about.
Check in next week and see if I'm still in a Barbra Streisand state of mind.
Cheers all - have an amazing week.
Peace! - LLM
In this next installment of our Back To School & Off To College Series, Moira McCullough from College Scoops is here to discuss preparing for the college search, the importance of that preparation, and how it can make college visits rewarding and informational instead of fear, confusion, and dread filled.
It is important to be well-armed to make informed decisions through the college journey and Moira and College Scoops are working hard to make sure that all of your pain point questions and concerns are addressed before you invest in an on-campus visit.
Here are a few of the takeaways, but a complete list will be available in The New Old You Newsletter that you can get here:
https://www.subscribepage.com/the-new-old-you-newsletter
- College is so expensive and such an investment these days that it is important to support your kids to get the best possible information that they need in a college search.
- Planning and then taking college trips and making college visits is a perfect way to spend time with your kid with a total focus on them. It is a great way to get to know them a little better at this age. You will learn things about them you never knew.
- College visits are the aspect of the college journey that you have control of. You can put yourself in the drivers seat. It’s important to remember that YOU are the customer of the college
- The interactive videos available on College Scoops are very different from the videos provided by colleges on their website. These videos answer the pain point questions of students and parents as they prepare to visit a specific school
- You should start looking at local college first. Just start exploring your local area schools.

SKEEET!! My friends are steadily turning 60 right before my eyes. What the actual hell is going on. When my mom turned 60, that meant that she was old. And now my friends are turning 60. Does they mean they are old and am I almost there myself.
Hell no. 60 isn't what it used to be. It's young, even if our backs, diabetes, arthritis, hearts, and prostates don't agree all the time.
Anyway, I'm ruminating on what my friends turning 60 means to me. And you should read or listen because you've got nothing but time. Right?
Later gators.

It's deep. Yessir. But my brain wouldn't let me write about anything else this week.
Bottom line - there are lots of reasons why we don't ask for help when we need it. There are even lots of things that could happen if we don't ask for help. But there's only one way to ask for the help and it goes like this...
"Can you help me?"
You think it's better to go it alone? Trust me, there are NO awards or rewards for doing things all by yourself.
Link in the bio. I promise to be lighter handed next week. I think. I hope.

Welcome to the first in our series on "Back to School & Off to College".
Every 40 seconds someone takes their own life according to the World Health Organization. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 24 in the U.S. and Nearly 20% of high school students report serious thoughts of suicide and 9% have made an attempt to take their lives.
My guest today, author Jackie Simmons, and her daughters are working to change those numbers. Through founding the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, they are working to educate parents to have"The Suicide Talk" with their teens and young adults regardless of whether or not they see signs of struggle.
In this episode Jackie takes us through this talk, the importance of it, and how it can possibly save your teen or young adult's life. She is showing us how normalizing talk around suicide is the only way to pre-empt it.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why the "suicide talk" is so important.
- What it looks like and how it works.
- How many numbers of people are affected from one suicide or attempted suicide.
- Why pre-empting suicide with open dialogue is so important.
- How parents "miss" the signs of their children's struggle.
- The best prevention tool.
- How to suicide proof.
- How the talk and language around suicide is being normalized and why it's a good thing.
- Who is at risk of suicide?
- Knowing the best time to have the suicide talk.
I hope that you will search out Jackie at the free tools she has available. You can find them at
Teen Suicide Prevention Society: https://teensuicidepreventionsociety.com/

Hey Friends - Happy Friday and welcome to the Friday Night BeerBlog where Mike and I sit out back and I read him my weekly blog on all things Life over 50. Sometimes it is about life, like this week, but usually it's about Mike - or so he thinks.
This week I'm talking about putting down your excuses on why you can't be a thing and just getting on with the getting on. There is a secret to how you do it and you'll have to listen to find out what it is. How's that for a teaser?
The title of this blog and podcast is so fortuitious because after over a year and a half of saying that we are sponsored by Milewide Beer Co. in Louisville, KY. We are now (kinda) officially sponsored by them. They have given us two MWBC memberships. What did we want to be? Sponsored by Milewide - and now we (kinda) are.
NOICE!
I hope you get some juice out of this episode and if you would, make sure to RATE this podcast if you have enjoyed - but only if you have enjoyed. I don't want to mess up my total 5 star rating of all 39 people that have done it. :)
Special note that I am shouting out a clip from The Passive Income Podcast with Pat Flynn - and again you'll have to listen to hear that, but it is freaking funny.
Enjoy and join me next week as I start my "Back to School & Off to College" series on the pod. I've got a great line up for August - so FOLLOW the podcast so you don't miss an episode this month.

Tami Kraus, aka @tami.in.between, began preparing for an empty nest before her fourth child left for college. She knew that if she rested she would rust. So she examined her heart and found something that she could learn about and create to fill that space she knew would be open.
And her "hobby blog" grew to places that she didn't expect and led to new and exciting new things for her. Without planning it she quickly became a midlife & style influencer and DIYer with a instagram following of over 12K.
Tami is one of the most upbeat and positive midlife women that I've ever talked to and you'll want to listen to hear us talk about all the things, including:
- How she discovered her new purpose after her children left her an empty nest
- How she turned her "hobby blog" into a business
- How she "learned" to do a new thing by asking and getting help from others
- What she has found to be the most amazing thing about the internet and online connections
- What it means to be a midlife influencer
- What she is seeing as the trend in influencing
- How to overcome imposter syndrome
- How being authentic is the key to every success
- The importance of using the new time you have in midlife and over 50 (50+) to find your purpose and passions
- The time of the "GET" is over - and how it is now the time of the "DO".
I hope that you have enjoyed this episode and if so, make sure to go to the show page of whichever streaming platform you are listening to and RATE THIS PODCAST - I dare you :).

Sports psychology consultant and owner of 2nd Wind Head Over Heels Training, Cheryl Hart is with us today to share some strategies on how we can conquer negative self-talk. Because if you talk negatively to yourself, you will never be able to reach the goals you set for yourself.
We talk about so much in this episode and touch on:
- Your psychological core is your values, beliefs, and attitudes - often people don't spend enough time with these in determining who they really are - their real selves.
- Thoughts that we have of ourselves that we run on a record every day becomes our self-concept. Be aware of your self talk.
- Use thought stopping techniques to make yourself aware when you are having negative thoughts about yourself.
- To increase mental toughness, create a list of unique qualities and abilities you have in order to develop an unstoppable self-belief.
- When you are being negative, come up with 1-3 key words or phases to bring yourself more into a positive frame.
- Ask yourself introspective questions when figuring out your true self. Who had a lot of influence over you when you were young and forming your self-concept? Who do you model yourself on now?
- Just one person who believes in you can make all the difference in the world. It could be a coach, spouse, parent, friend, etc.
- You have to get a handle on your self-talk in order to be able to really set good goals because negative self-talk can affect the type of goals you will set for yourself.
- Discovering yourself is like peeling back an onion, layer by layer and it doesn't happen overnight.
- Celebrate your successes and add it to a written list of your accomplishments. You can use this list when you feel down or insecure. This list is your highlight reel.

I've been a little nostalgic over the last couple of weeks. There is something about this late summer time of year with school starting around the corner that makes me yearn for the days when my kids were at home and we were experiencing all the things. Now they are gone, and so are all of those sweet days.
It is totally okay to visit the sweet days and precious moments, but it's another thing altogether if you decide those are the only days and move into nostalgia. You did a great job - the kids are alive - but it's time to move on and create your legacy for the next 20 year period in your life.
Some day you'll be nostalgic about these days too - especially if you do it right.
Enjoy the past - live in the present - and live for the future.
It's deep, I know.
All my love - and see you next week.

You will definitely want to listen to this is you even have the faint curiosity or sniff of acknowledgement that you just might be guilty. Mike didn't know what popcorning was, but was still convinced I was guilty before I even started reading the blog to him. HAHAHA
Figures. But alas, it's always because we (as women) are definitely superior and if we do this popcorning thing, it has to be their fault, right?
Thanks for joining our drivel - We'll be back next week. I think.

As brand builder Sally Mueller entered perimenopause and all of the symptoms that go with it, she found that the products available on the market were all things she definitely would not be putting in her body. The menopause market was antiquated and obviously designed by men. She did not see herself in the products offered.
So she and her partner in business, Michelle Jacobs, created and started the Womaness brand. Womaness is a high-performance collection of modern menopause products created by women for women that offer symptom solutions from head to toe. Not only have they worked to create innovative products, but are working hard to build community as they educate and inform as many as possible as a push to Modernize Menopause, something that is long, long overdue.
In this episode we discuss Sally's story and the Womaness Brand and Products, as well as,
- The momentum of the menopause revolution
- The menopause conversation
- The realization that menopause is just a transition
- The difficulty of advertising Female Sexual Health Products
- Anti-Aging vs. Pro-Aging
- The Menopositivity of being in Menopause
- The menopause legacy we are leaving for our daughters
- Being in charge and in control of your own menopause journey

On tonight's reading of the Friday Night BeerBlog, we are talking about how to know when and why to take vacations. EVERYONE needs to take a break - recharge - sharpen your saw ... whatever you want to call it. And if you don't, you risk total burnout.
And it doesn't have to be much and it doesn't have to be for a long time, but it has to be deliberate. Like you have to be all in and dedicated to it to suck every last bit of benefit out of it.
I was at DECON 2 just a couple weeks ago and I knew I was headed to DECON 1 - through DEFCON Mike - and a cell and wifi break came at the exact right time to rescue me.
I know there are more of me out there that are pushing far too close to the danger zone. Trust me, take a break, and then see you will see and experience the forward movement you've been working so hard for.
Thanks for listening! I have loved being on vacation this week and didn't take a second for granted. I wish the same for you friend.
Make sure to RATE and REVIEW, cause why the hell not. It will make you feel good and it will make me feel good. Everyone wins.

Peace out.
Freedom is the driver for fitness in this phase of life. Kelly reminds us that at this time we may have more time, money, and less responsibility, but if we don't have the fitness to be able to enjoy those things, we've missed a central life component.
To gain benefit from movement you have make a goal to be consistent, and once you have established your consistency through habit, you will gain freedom to enjoy all of the things that life brings at this time in your life. Bottom Line.
In this episode, Kelly and I touch on:
- Why fitness is important
- How to turn the feeling of fitness from punishment into reward
- Why mindset is so important in fitness
- Why midlife is the perfect time to start on your fitness plan
- How to begin to see improvement in your fitness
- What is the cascading effect of movement
- How do find time in your schedule for movement
- What is consistency and why is IT important
- How to create a weekly fitness plan
- What is the best type of accountability
Thanks so much for being with us today. If anything we want everyone to know that even a little bit of fitness goes a long way. And the more we are able to make ourselves a priority, the more we will be able to be there for others and for ourselves as we age. Like Kelly says, Fit is Freedom.

What is the FNBB anyway? Pickle and I have been recording our Friday Night BeerBlog for 72 weeks and it is very presumptuous of us to think that people new to the podcast even know what the hell it is.
So, we're traveling down memory lane and talking about all of it. Get in on the goodness and the story and welcome to the FNBB family.
I'm challenging everyone to leave a RATING. I have 36 and would love to have 100. Can you help? Get to the bottom of the show page and hook me up.
It is much appreciated!
Happy and Safe 4th! We'll see you next week after we rest this week! Happy Vacay!

I don't care where you come down on the issue of Roe v Wade, if you feel powerless in any way, get thyself to the voting booth. You have all the power, you just have to take it back. And join with your community to make sure that your voice is being heard.
Tonight's FNBB is the reading of a blog that I wrote just over 2 years ago that never got the podcast treatment. Voting is the card you hold that you aren't using.
It's deep. But it's okay. It's real life.
Peace.

What a fun and meaningful conversation with Lisa Hoffman, one of the four bloggers that make up The Sidetracked Sisters. Lisa, her sister, her mother, and aunt have been getting together once a week for 8 years to meet, write stories on a subject, and share them. Their collective stories have become something to pass down to their children. All of the stuff - the good, the bad, the ugly. How many of us wish that we had something like that from our grandmothers and mothers.
Writing legacy stories has become an amazing springboard for conversations with each other and with other family members.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why legacy stories are so important
- How legacy stories help your longevity
- The history of storytelling of the matriarch within the family
- The responsibility of telling all the stories
- How to get started
- The importance of community in legacy writing
- How you benefit yourself from telling your legacy stories
- How listening to others' legacy stories benefit you
Lisa and her family can be found in several places:

In this BONUS REPLAY episode of The New Old You, my friend Marla Bobrow and I are doing one of those old fashioned The More You Know type PSAs as we head into the late spring and summer months. We are talking about Skin Cancer, including:
- What it is
- Where and why you get it
- Some science of UV rays
- How it's found and personal procedures to remove it
- What are your risks
- Tips on preventing it
As we age, getting yearly regular screenings is something that should be done, just like your mammogram and yearly exam. The skin is your largest organ and we need to keep an eye on it because no one is immune to skin cancer. We all have done things in our past to abuse our skin and we want to make sure to take care of it and keep an eye on it as we age.
Some tips we'll talk about:
1. Wearing Sunscreen - What SPF? What kind?
2. What times you should not be in direct sun
2. Wearing a hat - What kind?
3. Sunproofing your car
4. Wearing sunglasses
5. Wearing long sleeve and sun protective clothing
6. Eating right - antioxidants to help reduce cell damage
7. Knowing your risk for skin cancer
8. Find a dermatologist and getting yearly screenings
All thanks to Marla for coming on and telling us about her personal experience with skin cancer. It's not something you think about happening to you, until it does. And you can start to avoid it RIGHT NOW.
If this podcast has been helpful and you wish to share it, please do. This is good information for all ages and sexes as we head into warmer, sun filled days.
Make sure to have FUN in the SUN!

Our "little" boy is turning 25 this TO-DAY. I remember when I was turning 25 - I had so many expectations about my life and thoughts of how life would be. And those expectations crashed, but then turned into things so amazing that I never could have dreamed of.
It's easy to put so much pressure on yourself to have it all figured out, but the universe is freaking laughing at you. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. You never know what is going to be around the next corner.
A shout out to my birthday sweet boy - Ian Houston McShane - born 5pm on June 17, 1997. We never knew what hit us. But we did the best we could. He turned out pretty okay.
Make sure to RATE this podcast dammit!
And pat a young person on the back - this world is pretty f-ed up right now and they deserve all of our love and support.

Writer and leading spokesperson for the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism, Ashton Applewhite, is with me to help us recognize the stereotyping of people or groups of people based on their age. We talk about how to begin dealing with this bias through Acknowledgement, Integration, and Activism.
There is so much in this episode, but some of the topics include:
- What is ageism?
- Is there a divide between young and old?
- How does culture teach us to feel about age and aging?
- How does fear drive "the machine" and pit ages against each other?
- When do we start to become biased?
- How do we begin to start overcoming this bias or prejudice?
- What is "age appropriate"?
- What does someone AGE tell you about them? What does it not tell you about them?
- How important is it to push back the myths of aging, especially as a group?
- How do we push back these myths?
- How important is it to make friends of all ages?
- How do we age well?
- What example can we set for our children and how can we keep from being ageist against them and others their age?

Music is the most amazing thing on the face of the Earth. Truly. I think it, through the sense of hearing, outweighs every other experience by every other sense. Sorry for you "smell of bacon", "sight of mountains", "taste of ice cream" and "feel of sex".
Welcome to FNBB 69 (insert giggle here), we are talking about the significance of music and how it creates the soundtrack of our lives. Don't tell me you don't remember all the little details of life unless it has a tune imprinted on it. There are so many.
But the enjoyment of music doesn't only have to live in the past - we all need to expand our musical tastes with new types of music to continue to imprint future memories.
Enjoy all the music. Let it move you like nothing else can, because it will.
And the song I was thinking about when we recorded was "Just Once" James Ingram/Quincy Jones from The Last American Virgin. There were lots of cryfests to this song for me.
Alrighty y'all RATE or REVIEW is you're digging the blog and FNBB podcast. And have a great week!
Peace.

Hemp farm owner Penny Kephart of Kephart Acres is here to give us the lowdown about CBD. The CBD industry is already a multi-billion dollar business, but there is still a lot of confusion when it comes to the product, its benefits, and how it differs from THC and marijuana.
In this episode Penny talks about:
- The difference between Hemp & Marijuana Cannibus plants
- The difference between CBD and THC
- How much THC is in CBD
- What CBD is used for and its benefits
- The benefit of a full spectrum CBD as opposed to a THC free CBD.
- The importance of reviewing the full lab report from who you buy your CBD from
- All the words - Cannabinoids, Turpines, etc :))
- How CBD can help anxiety, sleep, inflammation, chronic pain, and addition
- Where you find turpines and what they do
- Which is best for you? Ointment, Gummy Edible, or Tincture
- What is the recommended dosage of CBD?

I am NOT a friend of the word messy. But that is the perfectionist in me. I have heard ad nauseam over the last year the phrase "Just do it messy" in reference to trying something new. And I get it. Nobody want Analysis Paralysis, but the perfectionist in me has had a hard time dealing with and figuring out what is next in my "midlife unraveling" as Brene Brown calls it.
But the needle has to eventually move and I'm deciding to stop watching everyone else figure this out and get on with the getting on already.
That being said, I'm going to just let go and not be messy, but do it "slightly unorganized". Messy is such a shitty word. Just sayin'.
Anyway, that's it. Enjoy. And Rate this podcast with 5 stars because my inner perfectionist wants nothing less. I kid. Sorta.

Financial preparation to enjoy your second half of life is so crucial. The act of retiring can be exhilarating if you have prepared and scary as hell if you haven't. Wealth Manager and author of “Failure Is Not An Option: Creating Certainty in the Uncertainly of Retirement” is with us today to talk about our retirement ahead.
We touch on:
- Planning for future inflation and rising cost of living
- Long-Term Care plans
- Longevity of life
- The stages of retirement
- The importance of a financial advisor throughout your career and beyond
- Leaving financial legacy for our children and grandchildren
- Is it too late if I haven't really started saving for retirement
- The importance of teaching our kids (and ourselves) about compound interest early
David is also full of wonderful stories about his travels and ties all of his advice to things he has learned from them.

I may lose 1 or 2 of the 8 listeners of the FNBB this week. But life happens all around us every day - sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's bad. This week had a lot of bad, unfortunately. And it was due to circumstances that CAN be altered or changed to affect the outcome. But they aren't because we as individuals give up our power too easily.
The blog and podcast this week talks about the things YOU can do as one little ole person to affect change and be the good that the world needs so desperately today.
It is a charged subject, but something I cannot turn a blind eye to or ignore. When I started writing my blog, I was very keen to make sure that I stayed true to how I feel and what I believe. And I feel that using this platform to encourage people to do good and affect as much change as possible is my duty and responsibility.
So...on that note - enjoy the blog, enjoy the podcast and then do some thinking on how you feel. We both encourage that.
Till next week - enjoy your Memorial Day weekend and thank you to all that have answered the call and have given their lives to preserve the freedoms we have to do podcasts like this one. I thank you.

Mike has escaped the FNBB this week. He is on the lake - literally - and I tried to get him to call and be a part of the recording, but it was a no go. I'm sure he is bummed. NOT.
So my sister, Cathy Lindsey, Esquire, had to jump in and be Mike tonight. She does a good job.
I really wanted him to be part of the recording tonight because the blog is totally about him, his weight, my weight, and what we call "divorce weight". You'll have to listen to find out what that is. Because IT IS a real thing.
Anyway, thanks for listening, if you did. And make sure to RATE and REVIEW, but only if it's good. And make sure to give Pickle shit for skipping on on this very important recording. Thank heavens for sisters.

So, did you F@#k-Up or was it truly a Fatal Error? There is a big difference. And I'm learning how to not freak out over just a run of the mill f@#k up. Being a recovering perfectionist, it's a tall order, but one that I'm learning to handle.
I made a couple of pretty hefty mistakes last Friday and I'm coming clean this week on FNBB 65. It's may not be a big deal to you, but it was to me.
Excuse the amount of times the word F@#K is used and if you are like us, treat this episode like a drinking game. We've got your Friday night entertainment covered.
Till next week - make sure to give us only 5 star ratings, cause F@#K! Why wouldn't you?

There is no other way to describe 73 year old Eunice Ray other than a go-getting, forward thinking, inspirational, independent, woman on the go - go - go.
Eunice learned in her early 50s that she needed to start taking care of herself if she was going to be independent in her endgame. Because being independent means FREEDOM. Eunice has been so many things to so many people through life - and now she is able to live her life completely on her own terms, while venturing out alone in her RV to any place she wants to go.
Some things Eunice shares about:
- How she started paying attention and learning about her own body in her mid 50s.
- What that work starting at that age has been able to give her in her 70s.
- What is a successful endgame?
- How to fulfill a legacy.
- Tips on motherhood.
- Caregiving.
- All the things you have to look forward to when you are independent.
Thank you for listening today. Please be sure to follow Eunice Ray on Facebook and on Instagram:

Welcome to FNBB 64. Come on in. The Pickle isn't feeling well so I thank him for sitting in. It just wouldn't be the same without him, even when he is gettin deep like he did tonight.
I've heard Mike say so many times, "I wish I were more like that risk-taking kid I was at 20.". And we're talking about that and about how much easier it is at that age to make decisions so freely, but how over time we become so weighed down.
What we have to realize is that that twenty year old is still in there. You just have to dig him or her out.

Who wouldn't sit down with their mother and sister on Mother's Day to talk about motherhood if they had this kind of platform and opportunity. I am so excited to have my mom, Rita, and sister, Cathy, join me in this very special Mother's Day episode.
We talk about:
- Motherhood trials and tribulations
- Being mothers of daughters
- How the mother-daughter relationship has bonded us
- The role of grandmother vs. mother
- The difference between being a younger and older mother
Being a mother is hard work, but extremely rewarding. There is nothing that can prepare you for all that lies ahead, but in the end you can't imagine your life without all the heartbreak, worry, joy, smiles, and love.
Enjoy this episode with your own mother if you can and then have your own talk about what you enjoy or love about each other. We know that it will bring out some great laughs - probably at your mother's expense if you're like us. :)

Okay friends - listen - and then RATE and REVIEW, but make sure it's 5 STARZZZZZZZ. Just like that.

Kira Rodenbush is a licensed massage therapist and a professional organizer and she is on the podcast today give us some good practical tips to help get our spring (and post pandemic) cleaning started.
We also talk about how the energy in our bodies matches what is going on around us in our spaces. She answers the question, "What Up With Your Stuff".
Some other things we touch on:
- How cleaning and decluttering is not a one and done thing. It's an ongoing process.
- How to start peeling the layers of the pandemic.
- How the "machine" keeps us buying more than we need by poking at our insecurities.
- How to rid yourself of the need to attach to "things".
- How to tune into your body to determine what you actually "need".
- What does it mean to "shop" from your own stuff?
- Where should you start in spring decluttering and cleaning?
Make sure to check out Kira and her podcast "What's Up With Your Stuff" on all streaming platforms. And check out her Facebook group of the same name "What's Up With Your Stuff" where people are sharing before and after photos and sharing their own tips of how they are decluttering their lives.

It's FNBB 62 time!
I'm bashing Mike about how impressed I was when Mike was in his 20s and his apartment appeared so clean, but then just realized that it was straight and that everything, while in it's place, was covered in dust.
To him, straight is clean. To me, straight is straight. Clean is straight and clean. After reading the blog and listening to its replay, I may be a sound freaky about cleaning, but I honestly can't function when chaos reigns all around me. You'll find me procrastinating on important tasks if there are dishes that need to be done.
Don't judge. You're a freak about something too. Anyway, we hope you enjoy this Friday Night BeerBlog and we'll see you next week.
Don't forget I've got the Moms Over 50 Mother's Day Gift Guide available. You need to get your hands on that asap!

MOMS OVER 50 - MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE here: https://www.subscribepage.com/mothers-day-gift-guide
College advisor Marni Levine is here to help us find the right financial, academic, cultural, and social fit for our kids when it comes to the college decision. We talk through the college search process and what our expectations should be during this important time.
Topics include:
- How finding the right college fit is not a one size fits all process.
- When should a family start thinking about the college search - when do you start?
- Do colleges want a "well-rounded" student that does everything or one that specializes in one or two things?
- Knowledge that if your kid is not comfortable where they are, they can’t be happy. And if they can’t be happy, they can’t be successful.
- What do schools offer virtually to help narrow your list down?
- How important is it to talk to an actual student of the school? What can they tell you that you can't find on the school website?
- There are so many colleges, how do you start narrowing down?
- How many colleges should you plan to apply to?
- Is an Ivy League School better than my state flagship school?
- How has COVID affected the application and acceptance rates?
- My college choice is test optional, should I even bother with the ACT or SAT?
- The importance of the financial talk when it comes to student loans.
- What is the number one thing parents need to do as their child begins to consider college?
- What is the parent's role in the college search?
Make sure to follow Marni on social as she is starting a membership group as she is going to have good college search information and speakers. It will be a great place to get needed information and ask questions if you are not able to work 1:1 with an advisor.

In this REPLAY, former cycling teammate and 11 time Ironman, Denise Everett, is talking with me about life before, during, and after a head on collision with a truck while riding a scooter that left her a quadriplegic.
Her will to live, her approach to life and recovery, and sheer awe that she lived to hold her new grandchild will amaze you and encourage you to live life to the fullest, everyday.
The biggest message she left us with was "Get out of your rut of despair. Get a little mad at yourself and take that first step. It is so very, very important. The rewards will build and someday surprise you with something you never could have dreamed of. There are so many surprises out there around the corner, but you've got to get to that corner first."

As promised in last week's FNBB, we are talking about purging. So many people hate the word PURGE, but it is my friend. I have found great freedom in purging over the years of many things - situations, relationships, expectations, even physical stuff like too many pairs of shoes.
But others only see the negative side of purging: They say it is to puke, rid, strip away, cast out, relieve yourself of something you don't want or need. I've often been kept at arms length when the subject of "thinning" comes up because I'm all about it, but I tell ya, when people need me, they need me.
So enjoy.
And listen if you dare .... heh heh heh...
Follow, subscribe, rate, review and all that shit. Or not.
Much love.
Peace out - and Hoppy Easter, but don't hop near my Jack Russells or you'll end up dead. just sayin. (You've got to listen to the podcast to get this inside joke.)
Coach and author of Red Cape Rescue: Save Your Career Without Leaving your Job, Darcy Eikenberg, is here to talk about how you can take back control in your career and to show all of us how we aren’t stuck, to show us the power and influence we do have, and to show you that there are more opportunities now than ever before.
More than ever, and especially for women over 50, Darcy is worried that need to flee a career in The Great Resignation will turn into The Great Regret. The job search is not for the faint of heart and we talk about how important it is to take stock of what you have and what you can offer.
We talk in depth on the three things that you can control: everything you think, everything you say, and everything you do.
You can buy Darcy's at any online book seller, including Amazon.

Peace.
Estrangement. It is such a emotionally charged word and life situation and it affects so many of us, but most especially moms. And this time of year, with mother's day around the corner, dealing with and facing estrangement can be a very difficult time.
Kreed Revere, the host of The Estranged Heart sat down with me for an Instagram LIVE this week to talk about Estrangement & Mother's Day - why it affects us so, what we need to do for ourselves at this time, and what we can celebrate as being moms - even if we are estranged.

Take Care and Happy Mother's Day lovely friends!
Peace.
Happy Friday!!
We got a little spicy tonight - it's been a long day. But we're talking about how aging and the memory is a lot like experiencing a TBI - a traumatic brain injury - or concussion. And trust me, because I've had at least four. You remember something one minute, and the next it's gone.
This week I had a brilliant idea for a blog post. convinced myself I didn't need to write it down because it was so awesome, then proceeded to forget what it was. It's been days and it still hasn't returned to me. Oh well.
We hope you enjoy this FNBB - and remember, if you are in Louisville and go get beer at Milewide Beer Co. Find Jason and tell him that Mike and Lesley on the FNBB sent you. If you dare....

Strange title I know, but this week's reading of the Friday Night BeerBlog is NOT about how we should accept compliments, but instead about what happens when the compliments go just a step too far and loose all their meaning. It's a slippery slope. Don't cross that line, cause it's ugly.
Enjoy this episode and enjoy your weekend. If you dig this here podcast, give it some love with a RATING or a (good) REVIEW. (Winky Face)

On this episode I am joined by LA Stylist Monica Williams who tells us how she got into the business, how her customers have become her family, her views on life after 50, and some really sage hair advice for women and their hair over 50.
Some takeaways from today:
- Getting up and putting yourself together increases your confidence by 50%, which is a total made up number, but feels right. You are going to sit a little taller when you get up and show yourself some self-care.
- Peri-menopause hair can do the following: it can thin, your cowlicks can take over more because the density in the hair is less, our foreheads seem bigger because our temple hair can recede, the hair right above the ears tends not to grow, then grey hair starts with multiple textures,
- We need to decide between coloring and highlighting and drying and curling - maybe you’re doing to much to your hair.
- Get off of color. Think about just doing foils or lengthening time between visits, or even just color your hair less.
- It is not good to put tint, dye, or touchup spray on roots every day. Tint touch up powders plug up the roots of your hair and could literally be suffocating your hair.
- Clean your scalp properly. Everything you are doing is affecting the roots of your hair. Use a detox shampoo on your hair. It removes the residual hormones from your hair that land in the papillae of the hair.
- Wash, rinse, repeat. It’s on every bottle. The first time you wash its for your hair. The second time you wash is for your scalp.
- But don’t wash every day. And brush your hair! You have got to brush the temples of your hair. Get in there and brush and get all of those hormones out.
- Dry shampoo should be used only in a pinch - it is dry powder and will clog your pores. If you workout and feel you need to wash everyday - take some water and finger it through front area and crown of your head and then just re-blow dry those area.
- If you need a hair stylist, don’t be afraid to approach someone whose hair you like and ask who does theirs.
- Your hairdresser needs to be part of your “team” for when and if you begin to have scalp issues, which is very common. Having a professional actually saves you money because you go out and don’t know what to buy and end up spend a lot of money on beauty products you don’t need or aren’t good for your hair.

Today we are talking to Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Stacie Grossfeld about how to avoid injury, as well as all things Arthritis, Osteoporosis, and Sarcopenia as we age.
Moving into your midlife involves a lot of factors and that’s why it is so important to be educated to help you physically age gracefully. I know we all have a lot of plans on ways we want to spend this most valuable time. So get on it. Take control of your life and educate yourself and then help a friend do the same.
Takeaways:
1. As we age it takes a lot less trauma to injure ourselves. It’s important to maintain your activity levels, but choose your sports or activities more carefully.
2. Your genetics play a big role in the strength of your cartilage and you can’t do anything about that. But what you can do is maintain a normal weight, do cardio exercise, include strength training, and incorporate a healthy diet.
3. By age 40 you need to be doing some sort of resistance training to help maintain your muscle mass.
4. Arthritis is the breakdown of cartilage at the ends of bones and once that process starts, you cannot reverse it. Motion and use of the joint is good for arthritic pain.
5. Hip replacements have changed a lot over time. It is now an outpatient procedure done in 45 minutes and the surgeon goes through the front of the hip instead of the back.
6. Knee replacements are different. 23% of people who have them aren’t happy. Results in the procedure vary so doctors try to keep patients out of surgery as long as possible.
7. Bone health is primarily a female problem. We build bone to age 30 and then we start to lose it, but at a trickle. But when we hit menopause, it is a downward slide fast. You can lose 30% of your bone mass in 10 years.
8. To prevent the bone loss add weight bearing activity such as walking and lifting weights. Put force on the bones. If you don’t, you could become osteoparatic.
9. Once you hit menopause, you need a base-line bone density study.
10. The recommendation for Vitamin D levels used to be 30, but now the academy is saying it should be over 80. As you grow older, after 70, it should be 100.
11. Things for our daughters to do to make sure they keep their bone growth at a maximum before age 30 - Get enough vitamin D, make sure you are not a heavy smoker or alcoholic, limit the caffeine, eat a healthy diet, and do weigh bearing activity.
12. Sarcopenia is loss of muscle as you age. As we age, we tend to lose lean muscle. Men and women lose muscle at same rate. By age 80, 20-50% of people have sarcopenia. They may have trouble getting out of chair or getting up and down.
13. In your 70s - it’s important to do 40 minutes of some sort of cardio 3-4 times a week. Bump up your protein and you should have 1 to 1.5 gram of protein per kilogram per day.
14. The core is the core thing you need to work on. We use our core for so many basic things, so you want to incorporate core exercise in for sure.
15. Supplements to add: Vitamin D, Calcium, Vitamin C, Turmeric, Fish Oil, Glucosamine. Just try them for 3 months to see if they have an affect.

I'm feeling pretty empowered after talking with founder of the Divine Living Brand and author of "The Audacity To Be Queen" this week. She really got me to thinking about what it means to be feminine and how the feminine instinct has been injured so long by the need of all women to express their masculinity to get ahead.
Mike had to STAND BACK this week in case I was going to blow estrogen all over him. It could have happened because "I am woman, hear me roar"....cue Helen Reddy.
We hope you have a wonderful week and find all kinds of ways to empower yourself.
Much love to all - and don't forget to RATE AND REVIEW - but only if it's good.

Dr. Kelly Casperson is here to talk all things sexual health after 50. And not only that, we're talking about the things we need to talk to our adult children about as they start their sexual lives.
Takeaways from today:
- Basics: a. Menopause means it’s been one year and one day since your last period. b. The average age of menopause is around 51. and c. for ten years prior to menopause, women go through peri-menopause, where hormones are doing a reverse puberty.
- A lot of women stop or have pain during penetrative intercourse during this time due to a decrease in natural lubricant and collagen, but this can be easily treated.
- Even if you don't have menopause symptoms, if you are over the age of approximately 51, you have gone through it.
- The most sexually satisfied people aren’t young people, it is people in their 50s, 60s, 70s.
- Great sex is not a passive thing. It’s an active process, just like someone that is physically fit. It has to be prioritized.
- Use of lube increases your success of orgasm by 70-80%. Silicone based lube is best because you don’t absorb it like you do the water based.
- There is no “how long” should I use Vaginal Estrogen cream. The use of it is like using sunscreen or wearing a seat belt.
- You don’t need a “sex drive”. We do things because they are awesome. If you aren’t having awesome sex, don’t wonder why you don’t desire it.
- We feel entitled to a spontaneous sex drive that has been sold to us by media. And when we don’t achieve that, we end up feeling broken.
- Putting something in the vagina only leads to female orgasm 30% of the time so special focus need to be paid to the female body. Your largest sex organ is your brain.
- Don’t sit passively by waiting for spontaneous desire to happen. Get dressed up and go to the party even if you don’t think you want to. Chances are you’ll have a good time once you get there.
- Control of stress and cortisol levels in our bodies will help us desire more intimacy.
- If there is a desire mis-match in your relationship, normalize it by talking about it.
- Communication with our partner about menopausal symptoms and what we are going through is important to our relationship.
- Get educated on hormone replacement therapy as an option. When women start thinking about how they want to live as they get older and get educated, then they see how beneficial HRT could be for them.
- Women between the age of 50-60 that are on hormone therapy live 3-4 years longer than women in the same age group not on hormone therapy.
- For our young adult children that are starting their own sexual lives, the biggest thing they need to know from the start is about consent.
- They need to be aware of is orgasmic equality.
- We have to educate our girls that pleasure is for everybody.
- The personal growth that you do in figuring out what feels good is the best personal development you can do.

It's a somber FNBB as we are toasting the life of Tedi Ellen Vaughan, Mike's mom. She passed away from liver cancer on Monday morning. She LOVED the Friday Night BeerBlog and so we persist and dedicate this week's recording to her and her memory.
Life is good everyone - DO NOT wait for the AFTER - Live now. Love now. Spend now. Dont' wait - Time is the our precious commodity and once it's gone, it's gone.
I wrote this blog while I was at the bedside of Tedi, watching her taking some of her last breaths. She is here with me - she believed in me, and so I will strive to continue to make her proud.
She was a wonderful woman and I will miss her so much.
Best to all of you.

We prepare our children for years to finish strong and be read to leave the nest. But sometimes we forget to prepare ourselves and end up dealing with a lot of feelings of sadness and loss.
Allie Hill from Allie Hill Coaching is here to let you know you aren't alone and that there are some great ways to deal with the feelings you are having.
Takeaways:
- Remember that it is possible for you as the mom to overdo all of the lasts and stress out your child and take the joy of the next step for them.
- It’s important to process your emotions, but do it away from your child.
- Therapy can be helpful. Make sure to start early to get some traction before your child leaves.
- The biggest myth is that the empty nest is going to be bad, sad, or EMPTY. Know that you have the opportunity to create the next best chapter of you life because you have your time back.
- “Dream and Scheme” to get back in touch with things that once lit you up. Reconnect with your younger self and allow yourself to get excited.
- When your child leaves, let them take the lead on how often they want to communicate with you. Have a conversation with them on expectations and boundaries.
- Remember that them leaving home was the goal all along. You’ve done your job. Take a pause.
- In your happy nest, start your day with a great morning routine that makes you feel really good.
- Connect with other people. Don’t shut yourself off. Get up and out of the house.
- Be willing to get out of your comfort zone and meet new people. We encourage our kids to do this, so we need to be willing to do it ourselves.
- Remember when they come home for holidays, they aren’t coming home just to see you.
- Be present with them while they are home. Don’t ruin the time by thinking about when they are leaving.
- If you are struggling, have a conversation with your partner and let them know what you are experiencing, whatever emotions you are having. And then listen to them too. Then work as a team to create some joy and excitement of shared plans.

Well friends - I dropped my microphone on Friday and it didn't work tonight, but then I got it to work and it sounds like crap. I don't know. I guess I'm due a new one.
Anyway - we're talking about Hot Flashes and Manopause - WHA? Is that a thing?
We hope you enjoy the podcast - poor audio and all. It's all good. We're not professionals.
Have a great week - till next time.

Jackie Hope and her husband Ray went all in on Mountain Sports after a trip to Japan inspired them. They were near 50 years of age and decided to go all in trying out and discovering this new passion. It didn't matter that Jackie had never considered herself an athlete, they just surrounded themselves with knowledge people and took it step by step.
Takeaways:
- Look for people to surround yourself with that are defying the stereotype of what it means to get older. People living vibrant lives.
- Start small - take baby steps to learning and enjoying adventure
- Join a group or club that is already involved in what you want to do - they can be your best teachers and cheerleaders. And will probably become your best friends.
- Know that It takes time to get out of your comfort zone.
- Being an athlete is not a prerequisite to trying athletic endeavors.
- Examine those scripts, the narrative in your head - put there in your younger years. Are they true or just a story you’ve told yourself?
- Don’t be afraid of or compare yourself to the Fitsters. You have as much right to try new things as anyone.
- Movement is for everybody. Challenge is for everybody. Sport is for everybody.
- Constantly challenge your limiting belief mindsets.
- Part of trying new challenges involves being educated and prepared.
- You can’t live your life in fear and not do the things that may fill you up just because something bad might happen.
- Doing outdoor sports puts you in nature and in an appreciation of it.
- To be able to have adventures, it takes a financial plan to save for it specifically. Then DO IT.
- A new adventure doesn’t have to be sport related - it may be something like taking up filmmaking like Jackie and Ray.
- If you take advantage, midlife offers a confluence of factors that help us get us where we need to go to do things we once only dreamed of.
- You are either an I can’t person or a I can person. There’s always going to be a next barrier.
- Little imposter voices may be in your head, but you can learn new things because being in midlife we are not true beginners at anything.
- Getting started in any new thing involves finding experts to help you start. Make sure to get the right advice.
- Be a good beginner. You may be younger than people teaching or leading you. Be humble and grateful. Open and willing to learn. And knowing you are not a poser. Don’t let your ego make you afraid to be the newbie.

Children below. Parents above. Stressed-out caregivers in the middle, who spread themselves thin between managing demands from spouses, careers, home, health and more. Also known as the "Sandwich Generation" or the "Sandwich Zone", as my guest today, Karen Osborne describes it.
Takeaways:
- It’s so easy to loose yourself in the pressure being in the sandwich zone, so you need to be aware of it.
- There’s nothing like a situation of your child needing you and your support more than anything to highlight what is important in your life.
- Sometimes as a parents we have to accept that we can’t give them everything they need and be willing to look outside the home for help.
- As mothers we think we can fix everything, but the only thing we can do is let go. It may be hard to hear from others that your kids need something more than you can give them, but you need to listen.
- Parenting lesson Number one is the importance of holding space for your children and listening without giving advice or passing judgement. It’s your silliness to sit in the muck with them and just be there.
- Let them know that voice in their head is just a voice. and At that’s all it is.
- It is a fine line to walk with your parents to maintain that you are the child and they are the parent when you are having to take care of issues for them and with them. You don’t want to step on their independent toes.
- Death and the talk around it and aging needs to normalized. Things change, they just do. Start talks and making plans with your parents when they are in their prime and in a place to tell you what their plans are and what they want.
- ASK a lot of questions of your parents, their doctors and care providers. Get as informed as possible.
- Make sure that your siblings are involved in all conversations. There’s so much baggage of childhood that you may need to work through now.
- Make recording of your parents now. Get their voices and their stories so that you and your child have them in the future.
- Being in the middle of the sandwich zone, it is easy to feel that you are living your life for everyone else. But you need to put yourself first sometimes. Stop setting yourself on fire to make others warm.
- Do something for yourself every day to bring yourself joy however infinitesimal it is. Care and invest in yourself as much as you do everyone else.
- Being in the sandwich zone can put so much stress on you and your partner it just becomes a huge magnifying glass on issues. You are constantly in triage mode putting out fires all around you. It’s easy to lose the priority of honoring your connection as a couple.
- You gotta have each other’s back no matter what and you face the world together. It takes a lot of intentionality.

Hence, my dry January and no dessert February. Winter is a good thing. I promise. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Nancy McElwain is on the podcast today to educate us on menopause and the importance of sex hormone testing.
So often we are left to "figure it out" ourselves, but much like when we learn about the birds and bees, we need to have someone sit down with us to explain this menopause thing so that we don't think we're crazy or that we need to take some sort of pill to mask the symptoms of what we are going through.
Some takeaways:
- Much like when we are young and learning about the birds and the bees, women deserve more information about peri-menopause and menopause as they approach it.
- Symptoms that you may be entering peri-menopause are sleep disturbances, mood swings, sweats, some weigh gain, loss of muscle mass, mental fog, and vaginal dryness.
- Hormones are the sense through which we see the world. Hormones work together in symmetry and balance so when balance is off, things go haywire.
- When we talk about SEX HORMONES we are talking about estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.
- The first thing that happens in menopause is the ovaries start to slow down in their production of sex hormones and the adrenal glands have to take up the slack.
- What can make peri-menopause so difficult is that your adrenals are used to deal with stress and are already taxed so when they are asked to make more sex hormone in addition, they aren’t prepared.
- The ease of your trip through peri-menopause and menopause is a direct correlation to the health of your adrenals as you head into it.
- Your level of cortisol, or stress hormone, is tested to determine the health of your adrenals. If the health of the adrenals helps us through menopause, we need to get our level of stress under control .
- The body feels stress from all sources: dietary, lifestyle, mental, emotional, physical, biochemical. So by the time women hit menopause, there is already lot of stress happening.
- The first thing to do when holistically dealing with stress is to sit down with a piece of paper and write all of the tangible things that cause you stress.
- Nancy puts stress into three categories - ones you can get rid of, ones that you can make better, ones that you are must deal with.
- Heightened Cortisol levels puts us into Fight or Flight mode (ie running from a bear) and slows down the production of our sex hormones as well as slow systems like digestion - because if you are running for your life those become lower priority. Except that we aren’t in flight or flight anymore - we don’t run from bears - we are in what is called sit and stew.
- The sex hormone test that Nancy does is called the Dutch test - it is a dried urine test. She suggests the COMPLETE which tests both Cortisol and the sex hormones. Can be given to both men and women.
- Once you have a plan in place, it will take months to get things back into balance. It does not happen over night.
- Always make sure to be in communication with your doctor so that he or she is aware of what you are doing.
Nancy is running her next Whole Food Nutrition Detox March 1 - 5th. You can find out more information about it on her website: https://renewnutritiononline.com/.

The New Old You is a YEAR OLD! And I've brought back my very first guest, Betsy Green, to talk about all things 50+, updates on what has happened since last year, and what we look forward to this year.
We discuss all of the unknowns of Covid as we head into 2022 and beyond. How it affects our kids, how it affects us. We even touch on regrets and how since we don't know what is going to happen, that we need to get busy living now.
Betsy has a BIG year ahead with a house build and move, continuing on with her professional and personal freelance work, and her beautiful card-making. If you would like to see her cards, you can check her out on instagram http://www.instagram.com/betsy3spoke.
Thank all of you so much for making this first year as a podcaster and amazing experience.

Lindsay Pinchuk was put on my path for a reason and I couldn't be happier. She is a master entrepreneur/founder that is here to give us the confidence to believe that even if we are over 50, it is never too late to start your own business.
Takeaways:
1. It is NEVER too late to make a change or to start a new business! It doesn’t matter how old you are.
-
Look to fill a need or a void for your community or for a brand.
-
Starting a successful business doesn’t happen overnight. You have to SHOW UP every day.
-
The sooner you can put the wheels into motion on something you want to do, the better. Start while you still have financial security. Make a plan and be strategic. A lot of times you have big pieces in place for a new business before you even leave your old career.
-
Do one thing a day to forward your business, your idea, your passion project, your side hustle.
-
To get clarity ask yourself what do you love? what feels your bucket? Think about how you can build a business out of your passions?
-
When starting a business, the first thing you want is to have a flexible blueprint. You need to be able to adapt if things don’t go right. Take inventory of what it’s going to take to build this business.
-
Determine how you going to make money - what are your revenue streams going to be? And what you are operations going to look like?
-
Work on branding, but don’t pour a lot of money into it. Pick a name and some colors. There are many free or close to free design apps and sites available online. Buy a domain.
-
Talk to financial advisor or planner about legitimizing your business. When you start collecting money money it’s important that you are set up to pay taxes correctly.
-
Build your community. You have your personal community of people you choose to be around - Then you have your business community that you trust with business questions and networking.
-
You want a community over an audience. An audience receives only, but a community offers back and forth communication.
-
With a legit community, your business becomes the center of the conversation.
-
You have to show up as yourself and be totally authentic with your community. People will see right through you if you aren’t.
-
Be supportive of other women in business. There is no reason to be jealous or stingy with information/resources, there is always ENOUGH to go around. And when you make other women around you successful, that success always comes back to you.

Imposter Syndrome Freebie: https://www.subscribepage.com/10-ways-to-disrupt-imposter-syndrome
Susie Miles didn't make a sudden pivot to leave her television job after 20+ years. She exercised what we called a "Slow Burn Pivot" where she planned for 4 years for her career pivot. She wanted to make sure she was ready in all ways, mentally and financially. And because of her planning, she has found herself successful and FREE.
Here are some takeaways from our conversation today:
-
Signs that it may be time for a pivot - Constant Feelings of restlessness, that there has to be more, and feelings of what am I doing wrong that I feel this way.
-
Utilize the Slow burn pivot - if you need, take time to prepare yourself financially and mentally to make a big change.
-
All little steps toward something new eventually start to become reality.
-
It’s natural to feel nervous as you are getting ready to pull the trigger on your pivot. But set a time/date that you are going to do it so that it is firmly in your mind and plan. Otherwise it could drag on and on.
-
In order to get clarity on the next thing you are going to do, just try some things on, Your first try may not be it, but keep at it. You may even marry two of your interests together into one new path.
-
While you may go through a period of being scared or afraid, once you have made the commitment to a pivot, you can expect a feeling of excitement and freedom.
-
When you are working on something that feels more in your path, it feels a lot less like work and get you into the flow.
-
Don’t let fear grip you. Even if you only work on that pivot 5 or 10 minutes a day, it really helps to break down that fear. Doing just a little bit every day - leads to the most amazing outcomes.
-
You’ll never get rid of fear, but let it exist NEXT to you, not in front of you where it can block you.
-
Start paying attention to the feelings and reactions you have in certain situations. Notice your triggers of jealousy, anxiety. This will help you pinpoint some issues that you may be having about making your pivot.
-
Pivots don’t have to be HUGE. You could make little pivots here and there to build up your Pivot muscle. And you are allowed to use that - we all need to work on our Pivot Muscles.
-
Getting tired of your own procrastination is a real thing. Tell yourself to Just DO IT already!
-
If you feel that after 50 that everything is downhill from here, that is so not true. We all have so much time left and you have to take advantage of it before it takes advantage of you. So much more can be accomplished in the years ahead.

Imposter Syndrome Freebie: https://www.subscribepage.com/10-ways-to-disrupt-imposter-syndrome
Mindset Coach Leah Jantzen is here to dust us off from our failed resolutions and help us put a plan together to make real change. She encourages us to start small, create good habits and build on those to develop confidence in ourselves.
Some takeaways from our conversation include:
1. The process of getting started in something new is - being bad at something, working through it, getting better. Rinse and Repeat. This builds confidence.
-
Setting too many unrealistic resolutions or choosing too many resolutions is an automatic set up for failure.
-
Go Deep with Less. Choose Two to three things tops. For example, Instead of saying I’m going to lose 50 pounds, say I’m going to be more healthy, I’m going to move my body for 10 minutes a day, I’m going to drink more water. Start there. Develop new habits and build on those.
-
The most important thing that you can do that will keep you on track is to develop your WHY. It will keep you going each day even when it sucks or it’s hard. SOUNDBITE
-
Visualization is the key to train your brain to “see” what you are working toward.
-
Know that when you working toward something, the path probably won’t be linear. You may lose 5 pounds, then gain two, then lose 3 and gain 1. This is where mindset work comes in. You have to see through those roadblocks and be present in the moment.
-
Surround yourself with the right people that know what you are up against to help you and give you support. A coach, A community, An Accountability partner
-
If someone close to you isn’t supportive, know that it’s not about you, it’s about them. And if you don’t bend to their pressure, they’ll respect you more and you’ll be setting a great example for them.
-
There is no instant gratification. If you are in it, know that it may be slow going. You just have to stay with it. Have faith in the process.
-
Come up with your own highlight reel to help you on days when the mental battle is real.
-
Every single person struggles with motivation sometimes. You are not the only one.
-
Don’t reward yourself with going backward - choose something related or in alignment to your goal. Don’t celebrate losing 10 pounds with ice cream. Celebrate with a new outfit.
-
You don’t need permission to go after something you want. Know that you are worthy of wanting better or more for yourself.
-
You’re going to fail. Nobody cares. Nobody is watching and you’ll be judged either way. Just think about what’s good for you. SOUNDBITE.
-
There is no perfect time for anything. There’s no too late. there’s no too early. You’re exactly where you are and where you’re supposed to be.
We all have bad days. We all have failed resolutions or goals we didn't reach. It doesn't mean we have to stop reaching for a better us.

Much Love - LLM
Nutrition therapist and exercise physiologist Nancy McElwain is talking about the benefits of whole food nutrition and how it helps heal the body by dealing with issues of individual systems as part of the whole. She also gives us advice on charging the body up to help deal with the aging process.
Among the topics are:
1. Holistic nutrition looks at the inter-connectiveness of things and how the body works as a whole and uses food to heal body issues by giving individual body systems what it needs.
2. Western medicine looks to heal symptoms while the holistic approach looks to solve the root cause.
3. The holistic approach is very simple and requires you to go back to the basics of nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices.
4. Stress management is key for your digestive process.
5. A lot of your neurotransmitters are made in your gut, including serotonin, your happy neurotransmitters.
6. A lot of your immune system surrounds your gut so there is a strong connection between them. Happy gut, happy body.
7. We are what we eat, we are what we eat eats. Basically what we eat and what it eats becomes part of us.
8. Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.
9. Adding in whole foods gets you a long way, but some supplements help - Omega fats, B12, D, Vitamin C, Magnesium, and Zinc are among them.
10. During menopause, it is very important to support the adrenals and the liver and the jobs they do. Clean eating is key.
11. Eating healthy is not a pass-fail. Anything you can do better your nutrition is a win.
Nancy is leading a 5 Day Whole Food Detox in MARCH 2022. She provides the detox plan, meal plan, shopping list, guidance/support. Sign up at this link: https://renewnutritiononline.com/services/

Olivia Jaras is an absolute powerhouse. I am just in awe of her work with women to help them realize what they are worth and get paid that amount.
Takeaways:
- Women need to know what they are worth and know how to ask for it.
- All women have a gold mine between their ears and they just have to learn how to use it.
- As a society we determine a person’s worth based on the price tag they have. Whether we like it or not, money is a measure of worth. And as a result, it is also our primary measure of self-worth.
- Women use their multi-tasking tool against ourselves.
- By the fact that we don’t sense we’re worthy of money, we close off any opportunity to call it in and attract it to us.
- What you focus on grows.
- Every person was created with a gift - something that they bring that should be allowed to expand, grow, and proliferate.
- When you feel you deserve something your focus on it is very different. When you feel you want a million dollars, but you don’t feel like you deserve it, you’re not going to bring it in.
- But If you believe you deserve the money, then your mind will be open to receiving the it.
- The emotional guidance system that women have is an internal guide that tells you whether you are getting closer or farther from your dreams.
- Your dream is a seed. It needs water, sun and a space to grow.
- A lot of women have been living with the seed of their dream for decades. They don’t move it forward because they think of all the bad stuff that happens as roadblocks. But you must see those roadblocks as gifts of contrast because there is never a point in reality that you make it clearer to you as to what you want.
- Being rich is having money, being wealthy is having time.
- There are a lot of rich people who are jerks, but there are also a lot of poor people who are jerks.
- Money is not the end goal. Money is the catalyst for your purpose. Don’t give it any more credit than that. It is just a resource.
- We seem to think that money is a scarce resource. but the supply of money has never shrunk. In fact it has grown.
- If you can get yourself to believe that you are worthy, then the snowball effect in inevitable. Worth and Money follow each other.
- There is no such thing as a fixed income because you have the ability to create other multiple revenue streams in your life.
I certainly hope you have enjoyed this conversation with Olivia and I encourage you to SUBSCRIBE and SHARE with other women, because like Olivia says, women making more money will make the world a better place. You just have to decide that you DESERVE it.

Sandi McKenna is a powerhouse and has an amazing story to tell, up through her travels on her travel show - MidLife Road Trip to becoming a Private Investigator during the pandemic.
Now she has added podcast host and is launching "Unforgettable Conversations" this week.
Sandi and I talk about her journey and then we get down to how conversation has become a lost art and how to go about rediscovering that ability and how important it really is.
Some of the things we talk about include:
1. You have to nurture a natural curiosity throughout life.
-
If you have fear of traveling, you have to let FOMO help you push past those fears
-
Traveling to an actual place far outweighs seeing it in a magazine or on screen.
-
When traveling, take the ON-Off bus in order to get a great travel impact. It’s like a sampler platter.
-
Work hard to be a good listener. It will change every interaction.
-
In order to build the art of conversations in our children, we need to implement the dinner table interactions. Use the time to tell relatable stories.
-
When engaging in conversation, find a common thread. There is usually always one there.
-
Not only do you learn about others in conversation, you learn a lot about yourself.
-
Don’t ever limit yourself.
-
You can’t expect perfection of yourself or of anyone else around you.

Author Christian de la Huerta has so many amazing things to share and teach us about the hero's journey, ego, the soulful self, and power plays as we discuss his book "Awakening the Soul of Power: How to Live Heroically and Set Yourself Free".Some takeaways:
- The empowerment of women is the single most important thing that needs to happen in the world in order in bring balance to the masculine and feminine energies.
- We are all heroes in daily life every time we transcend the human propensity to feel victimized. When we have the ability to pause and bring choice and not strike out.
- To start on the heroic journey you first have to answer the call and say yes. Then leave the comfort zone or the familiar and face struggle before coming home to share your wisdom.
- It is necessary to understand how our ego mind works because that is the source of all of our suffering.
- Our ego is a baseball in the center of a baseball stadium. Who we are is the stadium, but we’ve allowed this small thing of ego to think it is all of who we are. And we are always making important decisions from this very small, fear based perspective.
- The ego is full of extremes. From feeling superior to feeling inferior in an instant.
- Treating ourselves as a victim or seeing ourselves as a victim is one of our blind spots. We have a vested interested in staying in the “Poor Me”. If only it wasn’t for this or that, I’d be happy.
- On this heroic journey - if we hold someone or something outside of us responsible for our happiness or our state of being, we are giving our power away.
- Life is always going to throw us curveballs, we can always choose how we show up in response. And that slight refrain changes everything - it pops us out of victim mode.
- Become aware of what the ego is and how it works and how it is getting you stuck in certain patterns. Self awareness is first step.
- Breaking out of the ego prison can’t be done over night. It has to be done in bite sized pieces.
- Investigate In which relationships do you give your power away? Are there patterns and what are the circumstances?
- Breath work helps in healing of initial misunderstandings. Any self-awareness practice is recommended. It may be boring 90% of the time and your mind will wander. But the benefit is that it is a practice of becoming self aware and present.
- Our soulful self if our the higher self - our own authentic self. It is our own sacred real estate. If the divine is everywhere then its in us too. That’s where our intuition and best potential and wisdom lives.
- The ego is the monkey mind and is so loud. It has something to say about everything and everybody. We have to learn out to quiet it through meditation so that we can hear the voice of our inner soul.
- While the ego has many words and big words, the soul uses simple language like yep, no, I wouldn’t go there, etc.
- We get confused about power and we avoid conflict because we are afraid of our emotions. But emotions are energy. If we suppress those emotions they take their toll on us physically.
- We are the only ones that can give our power away.

Today I am sitting down with estate attorney Nicole Willet-Jones who is sharing such important information about getting our estate affairs in order to give us piece of mind in this area.
The things we talk about today:
-
Things to think about going into estate planning -
a. What is your goal? Who are you taking care of?
b. How do you own things? Joint or Individual
c. Getting organized
d. Personal items distribution -
This is good time to look at other financial planning and getting your beneficiaries on other retirement, life insurance policies updated or making sure they are correct.
-
Getting your Living Will in place. This is your healthcare surrogate. This is also important for your children over 18 and especially for single people.
-
Getting your Power of Attorney in place. This will give your choice of person the authority to take care of financial and legal matters. Also important for our children over 18 to put into place.
-
An executor is similar to a POA, but we must pick someone who has the capacity to be able to handle our affairs as it is a time consuming job.
-
Time to do an inventory of all of your accounts, user names and passwords in order for your executor to be able to easily access your information on when things are due, how you pay for them, and ability to cancel subscriptions.
-
Every 5 years is the best time to update your documents and why.
-
How to talk to your parents if they haven't gotten their affairs in order.
-
Getting your estate affairs in order isn't necessarily expensive, look at it as an investment.
-
Look for an estate attorney who works on a FLAT FEE.
-
Getting your estate affairs in order is an empowering process. You want to make sure that YOU are making all of your decisions and now is the best time to take that power back.
Nicole can be reached at her website: https://willetlaw.com. All of her contact information is where on how to reach her and if you are looking for more information about her, her practice, or are doing research to find an estate attorney in your area.
Thank you again for listening. It is a pleasure and a privilege to be able to share this valuable information.

You have found The New Old You and I’m your host Lesley McShane.
If you’re like me, you wear a lot of hats. wife, mother, sister, daughter, employee and you’re over 50. When I turned 50, there was total shock at how fast I got here. I felt fabulous on one hand, but completely lost on the other.
How did I get HERE? And why isn’t HERE where I want to be? After listening to other women, I learned I wasn’t the only one and that there are so many of us that feel this way.
This podcast is for a community of women like us who are dealing with and solving all types of issues surrounding this phase of life. It is a place to be reminded that it is time to create space for yourself for a change and that your voice is strong and knowledgable. Basically that age doesn’t define being able to do scary, new things.
Midlife means that we still have half of it to live. So why can’t the second 50 years be the best half?
This podcast is available every Wednesday with solo episodes as well as interviews with guests who teach and inspire us to follow our hearts. We’ll also be encouraged to develop habits and motivation to keep us moving through the fear of change. This is a space for us to explore and find parts of ourselves that we may have been forgotten along the way.
Most of all this podcast is here to tap you on the shoulder and whisper in your ear “I see you, all the good and the bad, and I think you’re pretty amazing.”
So sit down here next to me and let’s celebrate you - The New Old You.
Leslie Lindsey Davis lost 100 pounds. And she did it by putting a stake in the ground and deciding to become healthy in three ways: Physically, Emotionally, and Mentally. In today's episode she shares ways for all of us to fuel our journey to lose weight by filling the the self-sized hole that we may have in our lives.
Takeaways:
1. A lot of times when we are starting a journey to discover or better ourselves, we find that there is a self-sized hole in our hearts that we are desperate to fill with food or some other vice.
-
It’s usually pretty apparent to yourself when you are unhealthy, but you may not be sure about how to go about getting healthy - mentally, physically and emotionally. You just have to start small in each of these areas.
-
Put your stake in the ground - know that you NEED to change and then control what you can control.
-
The brain likes hits of endorphins, good or bad, so pay yourself with good words and behaviors. Be aware of what you are saying to yourself and make it good, instead of bad.
-
There aren’t any bad choices. There are not so good choices, good choices, and great choices.
-
There are no CHEAT days or CHEAT meals. Think about the words you are saying because they have deep meaning on how we think. You can only cheat on taxes, test, and on your spouse. Everything else is a choice.
-
Little lies we tell ourselves: If you eat a broken cookie there are no calories. If you eat off someone else's plate it doesn’t count. The thing you realize is that the only person you are lying to is yourself. The outside world can see the evidence of you lie.
-
When you begin the journey of finding yourself pack your bag with things that will help you. Create a relationship with yourself though journaling because when you can see the words on paper and can reread them, you can do something with it.
-
When you having a bad day and want to sabotage your journey, stop and ask yourself what is really going on.
-
Take progress photos of yourself on the journey - because our brains are trained to keep a picture of us and what we looked like at the beginning. Throughout these progress photos, not only will you see progress in your health, but in your mental and emotional lightness as well.
-
Get rid of clothes that don’t fit anymore. Don’t hang onto them because they mentally give you permission to go backward. Those clothes are reminder of who you used to be. They don’t serve you anymore.
-
A journey is a ME thing, not a WE thing. But you need a team - A person that will support you no matter what and be non-judgmental. And then find someone who can help you with your exercise and fitness.
-
Learn to be inefficient - for example, when loading in your groceries, take only two bags at a time and make more trips. Meet yourself where you are.

Sending love, peace, and good vibes to all of you for an amazing 2022. Happy New Year!
Welcome to this special Christmas / Holiday special of my podcast and of the Magical Midlife podcast. The host of Magical Midlife and my friend Lindsay de Swart and I decided we wanted to do something special for this time of year so we decided to sit down together and share our thoughts of Christmas, of podcasting, of following a gut feeling, of dreaming big for 2022, and all of our hopes and dreams for you into the new year.
And then we both have published this episode on our hosts to share with as many people as possible. You can’t see us, but we recorded on zoom and each were sitting fireside - me by a virtual YouTube fire and her by an actual fire.

Estrangement is a trauma filled, emotional experience for parents and adult children. And as we head toward Christmas, the emotions of estrangement are especially being felt by over 25% of us out there.
Kreed Revere is here to share her very vulnerable story of her own estrangement from her adult children and what she did to heal herself and start down the road of reconcilitation.
In this episode we discuss:
- Estrangement generally refers to a close relationship that ceases communication and and contact and there is a level of rejection.
- Know that if you are a parent estranged from your adult children or a child estranged from your parents, you are not alone.
- Estrangement carries significant shame.
- The published percentages of estrangement say it’s somewhere around 25%, but it is probably much higher.
- Estrangement can throw you into a a tidal wave of emotions. Sad, mad and back and forth.
- Once you realize that you are are dealing with estrangement, find a support group. It’s important to know that you are not alone.
- The only control you have is over yourself. The rest of the situation is totally out of your control.
- Most mothers just want to get back to where they were, but you don’t want it to go back to the way it was because it probably wasn't healthy.
- You have to learn how to let go. Get to the point where you know it is okay if your kids never want to be in your life again.
- Estrangement is a Little T trauma that happens. And it stays with you whether you end up reconciling or not.
- Therapy can witness all your emotions. It lets them be seen, told they are okay and validated as normal.
- Once your emotions are validated then you can start to have some empathy and compassion for your kids, too.
- The age in which estrangement usually happens is when kids are in their 20s and 30s.
- Children are here as our teachers and we as parents are students. And we usually have that backwards. Our children are trying to become who they were meant to be.
- Don’t give opinions unless asked. Let your adult children find their own way.
- Remember that estrangement can be gift. Because you can learn how to do things differently and your relationships can be so much better.
- Keep you eye peeled for Red Flags - When your kids ask you to stop, when there is decreased amount of communication, and when you start getting information about your kids through a 3rd party.
- If you know someone going through estrangement, know this is super emotional. Do not judge and let them know you aren’t going anywhere.
- If you are estranged, maintain hope, but also let go so that you can find joy again. You are deserving of a life outside of your children.
- It’s up to the parents to lead the way in reconciliation. We need to learn to love ourselves so we can love our children in much healthier ways.

Peace and Love to All!
Author Laura Brockel is with me today on The New Old You to talk about her experiences in dating and online dating after 50 and her practical advice and suggestions if you decide to jump into this World yourself.
Her book, Still Kissing Toads, is packed full of hilarious stories and lessons learned along the way. Some of her suggestions include:
-
To get started know that all the dating apps are basically the same, but because it can be so time consuming, pick ONE app to work because you’ll see a lot of the same people on all of the apps.
-
Just because you and a guy may both swipe right on each other, you may not hear from him or you may not reach out to him. Just be willing to throw your hook in the water and see what you catch. Don’t be afraid of the catch and release of online dating.
-
The dating profile speaks volumes about the person. For instance, if there is nothing really written in the profile, then this person more than likely will make zero effort. Look for the RED FLAGS.
-
Before you put out your profile, come up with YOUR list of non-negotiables and things you ARE willing to negotiate on. Hone in your filters. What are you willing to accept and what are you NOT willing to accept.
-
Do work on yourself first. Are you the best version of you because you get back what you put out. Decide up front what you really want in your next relationship.
-
Put your selections through your “friend filter” or “kid filter”. Make sure to tell them to be honest with you.
-
For safety, keep your communication through the app. Be careful of giving out your personal information like address and phone number until you are familiar with that person.
-
Don’t automatically discount someone if you don’t initially click on the app or over text. Give people a chance or two. Can lack of an initial spark grow over time? None of us were put here to go through life alone. Everyone wants connection. Don’t discount someone because of their profile or your first meeting - get to know them. They may end up a good friend or someone you can turn to.
-
Learn a lesson from each encounter. Each time you go through the experience you may learn something about someone and or yourself. Use it moving forward.
-
What should you include in your dating profile. Put something about what it is you are really looking for. Be Positive. Put down what your interests are and be honest. Look at your profile and see it through someone else’s eyes.
-
Go online - you are not going to meet someone sitting at home. You have to make yourself available. Don’t be afraid to talk to people. You need to get comfortable with conversation. Force yourself out of your comfort zone.

Goal Setting can be extremely overwhelming if you don't have the right techniques in place to help you create a good plan. It all starts with your foundational beliefs and if you don't know what those are, then you will struggle to reach any goal.
Cheryl Hart is back on the podcast today to talk to us about some Goal Setting Techniques to make sure that we start goal setting in a successful way so that we have all reasons to believe that we will reach those goals.
We'll talk about:
1. First, Take time for introspection. It is foundational to goal-setting. Sit and be quiet and write out your top 5 values and priorities in life and why.
-
Ask yourself these Foundational questions:
Who has influenced me the most in my life?
How would I like to be remembered?
Who are the people in my life that I admire the most and what qualities do they have?
When I’m at my best what - fill in the blank? -
Write a mission statement for your life. Set how you want to be remembered and work back from there in making decisions. Do your goals align with what you think your values are?
-
If the WHY of your goal is big enough then your purpose will be fulfilled. Vague goals produce Vague results.
-
The number one way to boost your confidence is to recall our past success. And if you are constantly comparing yourself to others and nothing is ever good enough, then we have nothing to draw from. Don’t let your ego of comparison get in the way.
-
Set goals by using the SMARTS system: Make your goals
- Specific
- Measureable
- Action-oriented
- Realistic
- Timely
-
Self-determined
-
Set your A goal (End), B goal (Halfway point), C goal (Short Term goals), Daily intentions and incremental steps to help you get to each point.
-
Remember that EVERYONE, even people who seem to always reach their goals has failed, experienced downtimes and dips, but they get back up. You have to practice being resilient.
-
Reaching a goal is a personal journey. Your goal is just that. YOUR goal.
-
At the beginning write down 5 obstacles that you may come up against and then a corresponding strategy to offset that obstacle
-
Find accountability partners - someone or someones who can help you overcome your obstacles. A network of supporters. And then let them know what they can do to best support you.
-
Have a new goal on the back burner so that when you have accomplished a goal you don’t have “let down”, you move onto the next thing. But be sure to pause and reflect. And celebrate how far you’ve come.

I have a little holiday BONUS episode for you today. Now that Thanksgiving is over and we head straight into this holiday month with all of the pressures it brings, my friend Karen Sebastian-Wirth is here with a message of HOPE. Just in time!!
Karen is such a joy to talk and listen to. I hope that you will agree after listening today. Some of the nuggets of truth that she shared are:
- Hope isn’t about pushing down your feelings and telling yourself that everything is going to be fine. Admit that things can be awful and then look for the sliver of sunshine in the darkness and move toward it. Believe that there is a purpose and no matter what you are going to come out on the other end even better.
- Sometimes the only thing you can change about a situation is YOURSELF
- Life is full of pivots, but you can choose your attitude.
- When you have hope you attract good things.
- Hope can be born out of the worst of circumstances if you are willing to take advantage of it.
- Mourning is a gift. If you are experiencing sadness or loneliness this holiday - it’s okay. Hope comes in dark places.
- Give yourself permission to cry. It’s your body’s response to show love and to shed emotions.
- Your life doesn’t have to be exactly what you thought it would be - it may look different, but have same impact.
- The biggest Lie is “It’s too late”.
- Don’t judge someone else’s hopelessness because you have no idea what they are going through - show compassion even when you don’t understand. Your job is to make a space to listen.
- Relax during this time of year. Modify your traditions if needed. Be Nice to yourself and find joy wherever you can.
Thank you again for listening today - if you know someone that is struggling to find hope - open up some space to listen and share this podcast with them.

It's been a hot minute since I presented a solo podcast, so here I am just in time for Thanksgiving. Which is apropos because I'm talking about Gratitude or being Thankful, the reason for the season which we are entering.
I think it is very important not to just give credence to being thankful on the fourth Thursday of November, I think it is important to have gratitude EVERY DAY. Being grateful is free and gives so many benefits to ourselves and those we shower with those feelings.
I'm talking about benefits, tips on how to realize feelings of gratitude, and tips on creating a gratitude habit. We're touching on:
-
Gratitude is an emotion AND a feeling. It is also contagious.
-
Gratitude is free medicine. It can help strength your immune system, improve sleep patterns, help you become more optimistic and reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness. Most importantly it helps reduce stress.
-
Gratitude takes practice. It’s more than just a habitual thank you. You have to observe the meaning and reason BEHIND the thank you.
-
To find more gratitude: use your senses, remember the bad, Share your gratitude, Go through the motions, keep a gratitude journal or list.
-
Keeping a gratitude journal may seem corny or time consuming, but it’s important to remember that what we write, we remember.
-
The key to gratitude is to be specific about the thing you are grateful for. It’s always about what does that “thing” bring to my life.
-
Make your gratitude practice part of your habits. It doesn’t have to be everyday, but sitting down and writing our what you grateful for 1-3 times a week is super beneficial.
-
The hardest part of any beginning is the start. So just start. If you don’t start today, start tomorrow. Try it on. See how doing this simple thing makes your life so much brighter. I dare you.
I'm wishing you all an amazing day to spend with friends, family, or yourself. And sending out good vibes and hugs.
Thank you for listening today and I encourage you to share with friends as a gentle reminder to always feel grateful is a plus. Please RATE and REVIEW so that others can find this episode.

I have a bonus episode with The Hope Lady next Saturday, so be sure to come back and get your dose of HOPE for the holiday season.
Till next week - LLM
I hear it all the time when I ask the question, "What is your biggest issue in midlife". More often than not I get answers like, "Finding my purpose", "Figuring out what is next", "Trying to discover my next passion", "Trying to make a shift in my career". All very common, but then what do we do about it. Nothing.
Melissa Hoffmann is here to start giving us clues about how to get some clarity of what our next thing is and how to successfully make that pivot.
Some of the things we'll talk about are:
-
If you are looking to make a pivot make sure to have a plan. - create your exit strategy of where you are and work on your own thing on the side so that you can leave gracefully.
-
Get clear on what you want to do. Believe in yourself. Belief comes in knowing you are on the wrong path right now and need a new one.
-
Listen to your body for clues that it is time to make a change. Feeling that you don’t want to get up in the morning and wishing your weeks away are a sure sign you need to pivot. Catch them early - don’t wait until you are at rock bottom.
-
Watch your jealousy tendencies because these might be pointing you in the direct you want to go. And if that person can have it, so can you.
-
Don’t compare yourself to others - Realize you may be comparing your start to someone else's middle or end.
-
To get clarity - go deep within - go back to who you were as a young person. The keys to our passions are in our younger days. The clues are there. Just connect the dots.
-
Pivoting requires that you do your research - learn everything you an about the thing you are interested in. It requires a plan and then it requires a mentor who is already in the place where you want to be to help you get you to where you want to go.
-
To gain confidence just do the thing. You can’t have confidence if you haven’t done the thing, so just get started. The more you do the thing, the better you’ll get.
-
Doing it messy is so much better than not doing anything at all. You can’t be afraid to not be perfect. No one is perfect.

On this week's podcast episode I am talking with Lori Linford who is talking with me about how to be strong and single over the age of 50. After two marriages that ended in divorce, her second at the age of 45, three months after her youngest daughter was born, Lori embraced what she calls cocooning. She turned inward to learn more about herself and her responsibility in those relationships ending.
This is a powerful episode - the takeaways being:
-
You have to have strength as a single woman, but just because you choose to embrace your singleness doesn’t mean that you don’t want a relationship. Choosing singleness doesn’t mean that you hate men or hate relationships.
-
Always choose yourself - the decisions that you make that are good for you will be good for all of those around you.
-
It is not okay to loose yourself to please somebody else. That not where you get love or power. Those things live inside you.
-
Dating is like trying on shoes. You usually only try on the shoes that attract you, but you need to see how others fit too. You might surprise yourself.
-
The best thing to do when a relationship ends is to SIT down and write out everything you are grateful for from that relationship. The only way to get through is the gratitude and lessons that you learned from that person.
-
Don’t just settle for someone new - don’t look for a band-aid to make it appear that your life is normal.
-
At the end of a relationship, use your time to do some cocooning - turn inward. You have to give yourself time to figure out who your are. Get Still. Being busy is an escape mechanism because You don’t feel when you are moving. Getting still allows you to look at yourself and really get a picture of what your part in the situation is. And remember, it’s no one’s fault, it all just part of the story.
-
Divorce is good in the sense that you can toss that old identity that doesn’t fit you anymore and figure out who you are now.
-
Stand up, choose yourself and move forward. You past doesn’t define who you.
-
Remember, it’s your thoughts that are the only thing standing in your way.

I'm back with another episode of the Inspiration Series. This time I get to sit with 90 year old Peggy Tojo and her daughter Paula Hensley.
Peggy shares with us stories of her husband's time in a Japanese internment camp during World War II, how they met, raising 9 children together and the prejudice they and their children encountered post war. We then turn to the amazing life of service that Peggy has led and hear from Paula the things her parents passed down to her and her siblings.
All of it boils down to the importance of family and the total acceptance that lives there. Peggy has been a role model to her children and now to all of us.

Functional Fitness is not about being skinny. Having some level of fitness is so very important to everyone - it can help make all the years you have that much more enjoyable. As you age, it will help you be able to climb the stairs, get on the ground with your grandchildren, and travel to fun places after you retire.
Mary reminds us:
- You can be creative and work on functional fitness IN your home. You do not have to go to the gym or have a lot of equipment.
- Functional fitness is about using the whole body, rather than focusing on one muscle at a time.
- Every functional fitness workout combines Cardio, Strength, and Flexibility
- Just walking is amazing exercise - you do not have to run to get benefits.
- A coach or trainer helps reduce your learning curve on exercises needed and could keep you from getting injured.
- Exercise is medicine. Sometimes it is even better medicine than pharmaceuticals
- Health is the new wealth. It is an investment. And you can’t put a price tag on it.
- We have one body to live in - you have got to take care of it. You have to commit and you have to be consistent to be successful. Remember, You have to get out of your comfort zone to get any better.
- It is NEVER too late to start taking care of yourself.
- If you don’t make time, not taking care of your fitness will take time away from you.
If you would like to find Mary and her amazing Alabama accent, go to her website: https://yourfitnessbydesign.com/ to find out all about her and the services that she provides.
She has also provided the listeners with a PDF of some easy functional fitness moves that you can do yourself in your own home. Get the PDF by joining my private The New Old You podcast group on Facebook. You're a member of so many groups, at least you'll be getting something out of this one! :)

Lindsay de Swart is a Shamanic Coach, Energy Medicine Practitioner, Life Coach and Hypnotherapist. She has been coaching women for 16 years, helping them ignite or rekindle their 'inner spark' and courage.
In today's episode, Lindsay gives us a quick background of the Shamanic medicine wheel and it's teachings and leads us through the 5 phases or steps of dealing with big change in our lives whether it is planned or unplanned.
The Five Phases / Steps we discuss are:
EXPAND: If you feeling like you need a big change, you will start in the EXPAND phase. On the Shamanic medicine wheel it is represented by the Hummingbird. In this phase, you know you need a big change so you expand and begin to think about what that change should be. You actually get to CHOOSE what you are changing.
EMERGE: Next is the EMERGE phase. This is represented by a snake. If you feel like you need change and find your next thing, there may still things you need to SHED to be able to make the change. Or if big change happens on you without warning you dive STRAIGHT into the EMERGE phase. This is where we learn to shed the things that are keeping us from enjoying big change. It could be your job, a relationship, certain friends, etc.
EXPLORE: Third is the EXPLORE phase represented by the Jaguar. This is where we delve into ourselves and do a lot of background work without the input of friends or family to figure out what we REALLY want to do.
EARTH: Next is EARTH - The Tree of Life. This is where we find everything is connected. We start to dig deep - putting down roots in our change - then we have the branches that teach us to aim high. Then we have the trunk that connects the two - this is where all of the structure is formed between the plan and the goals. The HOW. This is where we are tying our hopes and dreams to a real plan - you position of being empowered.
EVOLVE: And LAST is EVOLVE, the eagle, where we stretch our wings and take the leap and do the thing.

It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! If you a woman over 50 and have not scheduled a mammogram this year, do it. Save those Ta-Tas!!
Today on the podcast I am talking with my step-mom, Vicki Lindsey, who is a 17 year stage 4 breast cancer survivor. She shares her story of discovery, diagnosis, plan, and treatment while giving her best advice on how to best deal with the news of a cancer diagnosis when and if you get one.
Here are the takeaways from today:
- 1 in 8 women develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
- 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of the disease.
- The most significant risk factors for breast caner are being female and our increasing age.
- In the event of a center diagnosis, after getting through your initial fear, you need to make a plan.
- Telling friends and family and developing your community around you is very important in how you will deal with your diagnosis. Everyone brings something to the table.
- Also having a “medical team” in place at the start of your treatment is helpful.
- Finding and being part of a survivor group is a great way to deal with your diagnosis. Other women can answer all types of questions you may have and most important they will give you confidence and HOPE.
- Try to keep a sense of normalcy throuhout your treatment. Humor always helps.
- If you know someone dealing with breast cancer - and you don’t know what to say, invite them to lunch or a movie, or coffee - anything to just help bring a sense of normalcy. If they want to talk about it, they will.
- There can totally be more FEAR about the chemo than surgery. Talk to others about their experience, knowing that yours may be similar or could be different.
- If you can, continue to work to help keep your mind and life in a normalcy state.
- There is so much support all around - wig makers, tutorials on how to apply makeup, support groups - use everything that is available to you.
- Go get your mammogram every single year, especially after you turn 50. Every normal mammogram is a baseline for the next year to see if there are any changes. If you catch anything early from any of your yearly appointments, the treatment will be much more effective.
There are chapters of the Bosom Buddies support group all over the country and you search the internet via your location to find one.

Mike Purvis has been working on some of my back and hamstring issues for years. You would think that these issues would have come from some of the sports that I'm involved in, but NO - both have to do with my posture when I'm sitting at my desk or while I'm driving.
I read an article recently about how desk chairs are doing immeasurable damage to all us that sit in them all day, at least 5 days a week. When I went to see Mike about some of these issues and asked him to talk to us about it on the podcast, he agreed.
Today's Takeaways:
1. Finding a good massage therapist depends on what you need a massage for. Each has a specialty. It’s like finding a doctor. You don’t want to go to a therapist that specializes in 20 different kinds of massage, that’s like going to a GP to have her deliver your baby.
2. Everything that we are doing is in front of us - and we are in that forward position for hours on end. We need to think about getting up every now and then to stretch backwards - to stretch that peck out - stretch that chest to help us not be caved forward where we end up walking like turtles.
3. There is no better time than now to start making some little changes to your posture while sitting. Everything has to be accounted for - upper body and lower body.
4. Even though you may be working at home and not at a “desk” per se, it’s not really about the surface you are working on, it’s about the height of the chair and the angle of your arms so that you’re not driving your shoulders into your ears.
5. Get a good desk chair to start with. If you get up out of your chair and can see that your body is still sitting there, it’s probably time for a new one.
6. You more than likely sit at your desk more than you sleep, but we’ll all invest in a good mattress before investing in a good desk chair.
7. Do not cross your legs when sitting. It causes one hip to be elevated which can cause a leg discrepancy. Leg discrepancies are problem in your basement, in your foundation, that affects all the floors of your body.
8. We all need to do a posture analysis. Do you drive leaned to the right? Do you carry a heavy bag on one shoulder every day?
9. The best stretches to do in your desk chair are Ts and Ys. Make a T with your arms then make a Y with your arms.
10. Put something up under your feet at the desk. Change your foot position. That changes your hip angle during the day. It lets your hamstrings and calves open up.
11. Using an external monitor instead of looking down at your laptop screen can help your neck and the phenomenon of “phone neck”.
12. We (as in our bodies) are the only machines that we ignore the check engine lights every single day. Taking care of yourself doesn’t take hours - it’s where can you find seconds here and there. They all add up.
13. When it comes to taking advantage of massage, Mike uses the old adage “Drink before you are thirsty.” Don’t wait until you can’t function to get help. And don’t be surprised when one visit doesn’t fix all your problems.
14. Mike’s best advice is to hydrate. Bottom line. Hydrating is like running a water hose through your gutters to get them clean. His other best advice is to be self-aware of your posture during your waking hours and stretch whenever you can.

If you've ever thought that you couldn't lose weight, even a lot of weight, because you are over 50, then you haven't met my sister, Cathy Lindsey. Cathy is 75 pounds into her weight loss goal of 100 pounds by Thanksgiving.
She shares her story about her past with her weight, food, and how that all felt growing up through her teens, twenties and into her fifties. She shares her moment of realization that this was a journey she absolutely needed to take. And how even though she had tried EVERYTHING over the years, this time she was going to be successful.
She expresses that even if you feel hopeless, you are not alone and you can too can take off weight if you are REALLY willing and are open to change your mindset. Cathy's story is inspirational and she hopes it is a lifeline for you.
Among other things, the takeaways from today's episode are:
-
Keep a food journal - it's a pain, but it makes you ultra aware of everything you are putting in your body. Cathy uses the My Fitness Pal app. Trainer Joe says, "You don't have to count calories, but your body counts every single one of them."
-
Community and support of your goal are so important. You will be more successful when you are engaged with people who are there with you.
-
Don't compare your weight loss journey to anyone else's because you will be disappointed.
-
Getting into a program for weight loss that costs money should be considered a treat for yourself. It's an act of love for yourself.
-
Food can be an addiction that you have to overcome. You have to set the realization that food is fuel.
-
You have to have a moment when you decide that this is something you are going to do and you LIVE by that. Day in, Day out. It is your focus. Tell yourself I AM DOING THIS.
-
Exercise is extra to the weight loss journey. It is more about being fit. A little exercise helps in your journey, but it's not the number one factor in losing weight.
-
There is no cheating on a diet - you are treating yourself.
-
Don'ts focus on the things you can't have, focus on what you can have.
-
You can do it. It doesn't matter how old you are, how big you are. You just have to decide that you are going to do it. There is nothing more important that you. Not even food.
-
Being 50 is no excuse. Be happy. Use your time to seek out new opportunities, things that help your body, that help your mind, things that you love.

Burnout is real and nothing to be ashamed of. We all face burnout at one time or another. The problem is when you are facing the early signs and either don't realize them or ignore them until it's too late.
Today I'm talking about my recent awareness of being in the early stages or burnout and what I plan to do to combat them and to get back on track.
I am referring to research done by Winona State University in Minneapolis on the 5 Phases of Burnout (https://www.winona.edu/stress/9Burnout.HTML)
And I'm using a lot of @jayshetty 's advice on how to recognize the 7 early signs of burnout and how to start healing - along with some of my personal experience. I refer to Jay's podcast On Purpose and specifically this one: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/7-early-signs-of-burnout-7-simple-and-practical-ways/id1450994021?i=1000532568300
Do let burnout fester - face it head on and deal. And know that only YOU can deal with your own burnout. Not your mother, not your significant other. You are in charge of you so do like I told myself and GET A GRIP! : ) - and a plan.
Thanks for listening and hanging in there when I needed to stop and shut down for a few weeks. Things on this side of August feel so much better already.

The topic of menopause and hormone replacement has often been the punchline of jokes directed toward women of a certain age. But loss of hormones with increasing age isn't just a female condition, men also suffer from it.
Kimberly Cunningham and Christina Matheus are talking to us today about Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and how it is a safe and effective way to deal with Menopause, Andropause, and other age-related illnesses.
Among topics in this conversation are:
1. Hormone Replacement Therapy is basically replacing what has been lost and it’s more than just Estrogen and Testosterone. It is also your Vitamin D and Thyroid. And it’s important to tune up them all up.
-
Women go through menopause and men go through andropause.
-
Testosterone is the most important hormone in both men and women. It helps build muscle tone and contributes to bone health. It also deals with all the antis – Anti-diabetic, Anti-cancer, Anti-alzheimer's disease, Anti-heart disease, Anti-high blood pressure, anti-autoimmune disorders, Anti-inflammation.
-
Testosterone in women starts to fall 15 years before the beginning of menopause.
-
By age 40, most women can lose up to 50% or more of their testosterone.
-
Women’s testosterone levels should be between 80-250. Below 30 women don’t grow muscle and below 20 women don’t really grow bone.
-
Men should be anywhere between 900-1100. Below 900 is an increase of alzheimer's disease, below 700 men may start to develop prostrate issues, below 600 there is a 6 fold increase in mortality, below 500 metabolic issues begin.
-
Pellets and BHRT have been used for 100 years. It is not new, just in the United States.
-
The pellets are plant-based from Central American yams, which have the bioidentical estrogen and testosterone of humans. Estrogen and testosterone are distilled into tic-tac sized pellets that are inserted into the hip And then work by time-release.
-
BioTE is the manufacturer of the pellets used by the Cunningham clinic.
-
The only side effect could be that when getting your hormones replaced, you could get thrown back into a bit of puberty, but after some time you feel amazing.
-
Women should also look to clinics like Cunningham Clinic for thyroid issues and the measuring of Free T3, instead of just the overall TSH and T4 levels.
-
People want to live to hit triple digits but we all want to get there feeling good. We want to be able to live life and care of ourselves.
If you live in the Denver area and would like to check out the Cunningham Clinic and what they could do for you - their website is http://www.cunninghamclinic.com.
Their clinic line is 720-650-4660.
If you would like more information on BioTE and where you might find a clinic in your area that offers it, go to http://www.biotemedical.com - you can find a provider under "Find A Provider". There is all kinds of good research and information here as well.
Don't suffer in silence if something as easy as BHRT can help you. If you know someone who could benefit from this information, send them a link or you can take a screen shot and share in your social media. Make sure to tag me so that I let Kimberly and Christina know how much their information has helped.
If you would like to sign up for my email list to be made aware of new blogs and podcasts, go to my website https://llmcshane.com and sign up.
Until next time - keep living your best life!

My mindfulness practice of daily meditation saved me during the pandemic. No joke. Being mindful and connecting to my senses in the present moment kept me from stressing out over quarantine, the need for work, worry over my children. I've never been so "in touch" with myself.
But like anything, if you don't use it, you lose it. And with the World starting back up, that mindful, meditation practice tends to be the first thing to go when you get busy. And eventually all those stresses start to invade again.
Stress management and mindfulness expert Paula Kommor talks to us to today about mindfulness, the meditative process, the benefits of being more mindful, and even leads us through a short meditation.
Some of the other things we discuss are the following takeaways:
-
Mindfulness is being non-judgmentally aware of the present moment. It's turning on your senses and turning off your thinking brain.
-
Mindfulness and becoming mindful is a skillset that has to be built. We aren't born mindful.
-
It is built through meditative techniques of learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings instead of repressing them.
-
You must carve out time and space for yourself every day to successfully manage stress.
-
Development in a practice of meditation is trial and correct, not trial and error. Play around with it and see what works for you.
-
You can incorporate mindfulness into any rhythmic thing you do throughout the day that engages your senses.
-
We can have up to 40,000 thoughts a day. 70% of those are of a negative bias. So we need to focus on gratitude to balance that bias out.
-
Mindfulness helps increase your happiness, your short term memory, your decision making ability, and your self-awareness.
-
Mindfulness helps decrease stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
-
The way to encourage others around you to become more mindful is to develop a mindfulness habit yourself and become a role model for others.
-
Starting a new mindfulness practice takes baby steps - that's why it's called a PRACTICE.
Paula is amazing and can be reached at the following places:

Paula is probably going to lead new KORU classes in the early fall, so keep an eye out for those.
The Ted Talk Paula mentioned - The gift and power of emotional courage - Susan David is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDQ1Mi5I4rg and her book is "Emotional Agility".
Thank you so much for listening. I hope you give mindfulness a try. I'm going to try even harder on mine. And if you need to just start, take off your shoes while at your desk and feel the floor under your feet. TRUST ME!

In this week's installment of the Friday Night BeerBlog I'm talking about my friend that passed away this week. He was a typical male - he wanted to be the strong one for everyone and save loved ones from their own personal issues. And then he passed away.
I don't have much to say except that I implore all of the men I know to open up, ask for help. Give us all credit that we are stronger than you think and allow yourself to lean on us from time to time.
Thank you for listening - we enjoy coming to you every Friday. So much so that this may become it's own thing, who knows!!?

On a quick FNBB tonight I'm talking about how freaked out I was when I had to leave my old phone at Verizon to transfer all of the data to my new phone. It was an afternoon freak-fest as I checked for my phone every 10 seconds.
We've become so reliant on them. There isn't really any other explanation. For me, I hate to admit it, but I need to know where it is all the time.

Today I am sitting down with estate attorney Nicole Willet-Jones who is sharing such important information about getting our estate affairs in order to give us piece of mind in this area.
The things we talk about today:
-
Things to think about going into estate planning -
a. What is your goal? Who are you taking care of?
b. How do you own things? Joint or Individual
c. Getting organized
d. Personal items distribution -
This is good time to look at other financial planning and getting your beneficiaries on other retirement, life insurance policies updated or making sure they are correct.
-
Getting your Living Will in place. This is your healthcare surrogate. This is also important for your children over 18 and especially for single people.
-
Getting your Power of Attorney in place. This will give your choice of person the authority to take care of financial and legal matters. Also important for our children over 18 to put into place.
-
An executor is similar to a POA, but we must pick someone who has the capacity to be able to handle our affairs as it is a time consuming job.
-
Time to do an inventory of all of your accounts, user names and passwords in order for your executor to be able to easily access your information on when things are due, how you pay for them, and ability to cancel subscriptions.
-
Every 5 years is the best time to update your documents and why.
-
How to talk to your parents if they haven't gotten their affairs in order.
-
Getting your estate affairs in order isn't necessarily expensive, look at it as an investment.
-
Look for an estate attorney who works on a FLAT FEE.
-
Getting your estate affairs in order is an empowering process. You want to make sure that YOU are making all of your decisions and now is the best time to take that power back.
Nicole can be reached at her website: https://willetlaw.com. All of her contact information is where on how to reach her and if you are looking for more information about her, her practice, or are doing research to find an estate attorney in your area.
Thank you again for listening. It is a pleasure and a privilege to be able to share this valuable information.

On tonight's Friday Night BeerBlog we are discussing how I let loose of my purse strings and hired some experts to clean my windows. It was a big move because I had tried to cut financial corners and do it myself last year only to spend 5x the time and less than 10% of the result that they got. And the difference is amazing.
Sometimes you just gotta let got of that "I can do that" emotion and get somebody who knows what they are doing to get it done for you. It's painful, but helpful to spread the wealth in the end.
It's a lesson my thrifty self continues to learn continue to learn over and over. Let go Wilma!
Thanks for listening tonight. It was a lively conversation with Mike on a beautiful Friday night with low humidity in the midwest. Hotter days ahead, but enjoy what you've got while you've got it.

Can you believe today marks the absolute MIDDLE of 2021. It is at least month-wise. Did the first half of the year pass how you thought it would? How have you been moving toward your goals for the year? Seeing any progress?
I thought I wasn't as far along as I should be until I took out the list I made on December 31, 2020 and was pleasantly surprised that I am accomplishing more than I thought I was. What a wonderful feeling. I've even accomplished some things that were originally on my list.
Now that I've gotten my head back on straight, it's time to clean up that list and readjust as we head toward the back half of the year.
If you didn't write down any goals 6 months ago, what are you waiting for? There is no right time to start and as they say, "There's no better time than the present." so get started.
It doesn't have to be grandiose, but set ONE goal that you would like to accomplish in 6 months and in 12 months. And make a plan to attack it. It doesn't have to be perfect - by ANY means. Just start.
Thank you for listening and be sure to share your one goal by taking a photo of the podcast and add your goal and share to social media tagging me @llmchshane or @lamcshane on Instagram. I can't wait to see what you're working toward.
I'll be back on Friday with Mike for the Friday Night BeerBlog. Follow me on my website at https://llmcshane.com and on Instagram @llmcshane and/or @lamcshane.

Hey all! Well, I'm in Eastern Kentucky all ready to do my first Adventure Race. I'm doing it in a team of 2 other women and we will be paddling, trekking, and mountain biking to find up to 20 check points at Greenbo State Park.
I was just going to go with the flow up until a week ago and I figured I'd better prepare at least a little. And then my ADMIN side took over and I started prepping as much as I could. Because I KNOW, that if I don't prepare and prepare well, that tomorrow will absolutely suck.
And that is the same for anything, I mean anything, you want to do well in or at - sports, life, other. A well-prepared person will always do better than someone who is going on pure talent. Even Muhammad Ali was always first to admit that training sucked, but it made him who he was.
Thanks for listening tonight. I hope you got a moment of enjoyment out of it - that's why we do it.

On this week's FNBB, we had a guest. Ian is in town to celebrate his 24th birthday and so of course I had to do a blog post about being 24 and about how kids these days feel like they have to have life all figured out by then.
No one I know had all of the answers at 24. Some may feel like they do, but they don't. Life has to unfold. And it happens every day.
It's okay. Be okay. Enjoy the ride.
Thanks for listening to tonight. I was a little off - it's been a really long run of working days - 40 to be exact. Anyway, thanks for the support.
All the best - LLM
Jill Seibert lost her husband, Karl, to ALS, a cruel, cruel disease, in 2018. Karl was a larger than life figure and she talks about how they dealt with the diagnosis, how each of them, their sons included, forged ahead on their own paths to deal with what an ALS diagnosis meant.
She shares stories about the experiences in the two years between his diagnosis and passing, and how they all dealt with each of the phases they went through.
As hard as losing her soulmate of 25 years was, Jill eventually found love again and just recently remarried. She talks about not looking for love, but then giving herself permission to discover that part of her heart again.
Jill has some amazing life insights to share given her own cancer battle and then caring for Karl during this time. This is an episode not to miss and I hope she inspires you as much as she does me.

I am totally stealing from this week's Wednesday podcast and that is because I really want to drive this message home.
Do Not Wait until it's too late before you pursue a dream, a passion, a desire. If you are comfortable, but not happy, get uncomfortable and happy. Don't wait. Time is all we have and we have less of it every day.

Hey Hey! On today's mini-episode I'm talking about life's biggest regret and turning it around to start living your life out loud TODAY!

Hey Friends - It's a rare Friday Night BeerBlog on a Saturday night. There's a lot happening in the McShane house right now with work, no air conditioning, and health problems of some family members, so when I sat down to write this week's blog I attached myself to this idea - that I am smack dab in the middle of what life has to offer. We went to a baby shower for the first child of some friends and the daughter of one of other friend is getting married in a few weeks.
It feels strange that Mike and I have been married 25 years, but 1996 was just yesterday. Time feels like it's bending. Events seem to be so close, but they happened long ago.
I have deduced that we are in the Wednesday of life. We're on the hump, smack dab in the middle, and that is just fine with me. Thursday, stay away.
As always, thanks for listening - it means a lot. And if you've enjoyed PLEASE SUBSCRIBE and Share.
I'll be back on Wednesday with another podcast - until then.

Today on The New Old You I'm talking with 60 year old bicyclist and overall amazing athlete, Tracy Tolson. Tracy joins us today to share her athletic history and how she got into competitive cycling at age 40. She shares stories on some of her greatest wins and how she has overcome some of her greatest injuries.
Together we share some racing moments and how we feel in the cycling group as women over 50 and over 60.
We talk about how being an athlete isn't about being young, but that you can start at any age and we encourage all women in general to get on a bicycle.
Tracy is truly an inspiration and I hope you enjoy this time with her.
Thanks for listening and if you enjoyed this podcast please SHARE with your friends and SUBSCRIBE so that you can be made aware of new podcasts that "drop". (I hate that term.)

Seeing your kids move into young love and all that comes with it is hard, especially because we remember what that meant. Hey now, these are my kids - I was referring to holding hands, snuggling, and smooching every now and then, right?! And in Cate and Chris's case, the annoying "BARNACLE!" movement.
Parenting humans entering the adulting phase isn't easy, just like parenting infants, toddlers, kids, pre-teens, and teens is hard. Damn. When is it going to get easier? But these are the days when we as parents need to just keep our mouths shut if we ever want to see them again.
I keep trying to remind myself how I felt at this age. And if I remember correctly, I didn't give a rat's ass about how my mom felt about pretty much anything. So mum is the word.
Thanks for listening this week - we appreciate it so much!

I've got a little mini-episode for you this week.
Every time I interview someone I ask them to give some sort of insight for this audience. Then someone turned that question around on me. It took a hot minute, but then I answered with something I feel I've always done. And that is Live Unapologetically.
I'll talk about what that means to me and how you start to living unapologetically as well.
Mike and I will be back this Friday for a new Friday Night BeerBlog. We hope that you will join us. I'd tell you what it's about if it were written already, but it's not. I'd better get busy!

Mike is out of town, but that isn't stopping us from doing the Friday Night BeerBlog. I had had had to include Mike this week because the blog concerns him. We're talking about the terrible confusion over MASK-WEARING. If you are fully vaxxed, where do you have to wear it? Where do you not have to wear it?
We've made it this far and I'm afraid to get yelled at for not wearing mine. Mike wasn't so lucky and he tells us all about it.
Life is weird and seeing people in Target not wearing a mask is weirder.
OK Friends - SUBSCRIBE and RATE. By the way, Mike and I also talk a little about the death of a fellow cyclist Gwen Inglis at the hand of a driver under the influence at 10:30 in the morning while riding with her husband. Put down the alcohol, the marijuana, the phone while driving. DAMMIT!

Seeing your parents age and having to make difficult decisions with them and for them is something we all eventually will have to face. In this podcast I am talking with Michaelle Warner whose 89 year old father moved in with her and her family last year right after the pandemic started.
Michaelle walks us through the signs, how the decision was made, the financial steps that needed to happen, the good, the bad, the ugly.
My own mother also offers up some encouragement and advice having been my grandmother's caregiver for 11 years before she eventually passed.
We'll talk about
- Looking for the signs
- Having awkward conversations
- Knowing what financial arrangements and healthcare arrangements your parents already have in place
- The importance of being informed on all government rules on assets
- Encouraging your parents to make some arrangements financially and healthcare-wise if they haven't yet
- Using this as a wake-up call for yourself to get your affairs in order
- Being aware of all of the options available to you for help as a caregiver and for your parent
- Making sure you will have the support of your family
- Having the knowledge that it won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
Thank you for listening and please SHARE with someone you know that might be going need this encouragement and knowledge that they aren't alone.
The FNBB will be out on friday night here and on my blog at https://llmcshane.com

Hey - Lesley here - Tonight the Friday Night BeerBlog is about Overcommitted in many levels. To other people, to ourselves and then we overcommit our children. Are we move back into post-covid life, we need to re-evaluate what is ESSENTIAL. What activities do we HAVE to do and what can we decide to leave behind. Maybe there are some we still want to do, but we just need to slow their roll.
Thanks for listening - it's been a strange week as I've been readjusting my own commitments. I apologize for a jumbled blog mess, but the week got away, but the message is pretty clear.

The Hallmark Calendar is telling us that Sunday is Mother's Day. It's time to take our guilt and cram all the love and attention we haven't given her over the past 364 into this one day.
I kid, but as we grow up we don't celebrate our moms enough. We are too busy seeing her as Wonder Woman with a Lightsaber. There is no way this super hero would need anything form us to be the amazing person she is. Then we get older and we come to realize that she is just a human, like us. She needs love and appreciation every day, not just one day a year.
Mike and are talking about all the things and gearing up to spend the weekend celebrating our moms because we are lucky enough to have both of them.
I'm wishing you a blessed weekend. If you dig what we've got going, please SUBSCRIBE and if you want to read the blog it is available at my website https://llmcshane.com.

On the podcast this week, Lesley is talking about WHERE to start when you know you need some career clarity. Finding CLARITY is a process and a moving target. It's something you need to be working toward at all times and it is not an end goal.
So many people get tripped up at this step. They know they want to make a change, but have no idea what it is or where to look for it. This podcast will lay out 5 steps to help get you started toward finding clarity on which way to go or what to do.
Steps include:
-
Don’t freak out – be calm and know you will be taken care of
-
Create your side by side Nature and Nurture lists and see where they intersect. This is your GENIUS ZONE
-
Determine your purpose and who it is you want to serve.
-
Do some self market research – what do other people think you are good at
-
Commit to change. Clarity follows action. It’s time to try some things out.
On this podcast I discuss other podcasts as well, including Cathy Heller's "Don't Keep Your Day Job" and Steph Crowder's "Courage and Clarity".
I also recommend that if you are looking to make a career pivot - whether in the job market or as an entrepreneur, check out my friend Olivia Jaras. She is an amazing resource. She also has a new book out this week on money mindset that I can't wait to check out.
She can be found here: https://oliviajaras.com/ and on instagram and facebook.
Last, make sure to go back through my podcast titles and see if anything there strikes a cord with you now that may not have a couple months ago. These episodes don't expire and are just waiting for you. Ones that I mentioned today were:

On this week's FNBB - Mike and I are on the road packing up our youngest and moving her stuff back to KY. She is graduating from college. We are reminiscing about her strong will and knowledge of self as we hope that she will be able to translate that into some success as she enters the young adult years.
It's the time of graduation and we offer congratulations to all of those parents out there who are truly sending their kids off into the great, blue beyond. This is where they all learn that the things they endured in their school years gets exponentially harder in this next phase.

In this episode of The New Old You, my friend Marla Bobrow and I are doing one of those old fashioned The More You Know type PSAs as we head into the late spring and summer months. We are talking about Skin Cancer, including:
- What it is
- Where and why you get it
- Some science of UV rays
- How it's found and personal procedures to remove it
- What are your risks
- Tips on preventing it
As we age, getting yearly regular screenings is something that should be done, just like your mammogram and yearly exam. The skin is your largest organ and we need to keep an eye on it because no one is immune to skin cancer. We all have done things in our past to abuse our skin and we want to make sure to take care of it and keep an eye on it as we age.
Some tips we'll talk about:
1. Wearing Sunscreen - What SPF? What kind?
2. What times you should not be in direct sun
2. Wearing a hat - What kind?
3. Sunproofing your car
4. Wearing sunglasses
5. Wearing long sleeve and sun protective clothing
6. Eating right - antioxidants to help reduce cell damage
7. Knowing your risk for skin cancer
8. Find a dermatologist and getting yearly screenings
All thanks to Marla for coming on and telling us about her personal experience with skin cancer. It's not something you think about happening to you, until it does. And you can start to avoid it RIGHT NOW.
If this podcast has been helpful and you wish to share it, please do. This is good information for all ages and sexes as we head into warmer, sun filled days.

On Number 13 FNBB Mike and I are reading the blog and talking about REST and how it is imperative to your actual survival. If you are deprived it is akin to a form of torture.

In our return to the Inspiration Series, another former teammate and 11 time Ironman, Denise Everett, is talking with me about life before, during, and after a head on collision with a truck while riding a scooter that left her a quadriplegic.
Her will to live, her approach to life and recovery, and sheer awe that she lived to hold her new grandchild will amaze you and encourage you to live life to the fullest, everyday.
The biggest message she left us with was "Get out of your rut of despair. Get a little mad at yourself and take that first step. It is so very, very important. The rewards will build and someday surprise you with something you never could have dreamed of. There are so many surprises out there around the corner, but you've got to get to that corner first."

I finally decided to name the elephant in the room. It is IMPOSTER SYNDROME and 70% of us suffer from it, although you wouldn't know because people are often embarrassed to admit it.
When I first heard about it, it was like someone finally giving a name to the thing I was feeling. I was relieved to know I wasn't crazy and this thing did exist. Once I was able to give it a name, I set out to work through it.
It is a journey with no real destination because it is always there, but you can certainly learn a lot about yourself along the way.
Talking through ways to start battling imposter syndrome on this podcast includes nine tips:
- Find your imposter syndrome origins
- Embrace your accomplishments
- Know your skills and abilities
- Don’t blow off compliments
- Realize your automatic negative thoughts
- Tell your trauma
- Get a coach – study, read, listen to podcasts that will help you move through it
- Good self-care
- Develop a community that speaks the truth to you
Thank you for listening. If you have enjoyed this podcast, I encourage you to share it with someone that may benefit from it. And SUBSCRIBE to know when new episodes are available.
Please follow me at my website https://llmcshane.com. I will be back with a new Friday Night BeerBlog and Podcast version on Friday night. Or you can follow me on insta @llmcshane.

On this week's reading of the Friday Night BeerBlog, I talk about the constant yearly annoyance of taxes, especially for the self-employed. I'm lucky because Mike does our taxes, but that doesn't let me off the hook. I make sure to have snacks and beer at the ready.
Our downloads of the FNBBs are down, so I'm contemplating not doing the Friday night blog podcast read, but I need to hear from you. Do you enjoy to hear us read the blog or no? It's fun to do it with Mike, but I want to give the audience what they want. Let me know on my website llmcshane.com. I guess doing these doesn't hurt, and it's fun to annoy Mike with them, so maybe I'll continue anyway. (That's the beer talking.)
Have a great week and we'll be back next week.

This week's podcast is for every sex and age!
Nutrition therapist and exercise physiologist Nancy McElwain is talking about the benefits of whole food nutrition and how it helps heal the body by dealing with issues of individual systems as part of the whole. She also gives us advice on charging the body up to help deal with the aging process.
Among the topics are:
1. Holistic nutrition looks at the inter-connectiveness of things and how the body works as a whole and uses food to heal body issues by giving individual body systems what it needs.
2. Western medicine looks to heal symptoms while the holistic approach looks to solve the root cause.
3. The holistic approach is very simple and requires you to go back to the basics of nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices.
4. Stress management is key for your digestive process.
5. A lot of your neurotransmitters are made in your gut, including serotonin, your happy neurotransmitters.
6. A lot of your immune system surrounds your gut so there is a strong connection between them. Happy gut, happy body.
7. We are what we eat, we are what we eat eats. Basically what we eat and what it eats becomes part of us.
8. Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.
9. Adding in whole foods gets you a long way, but some supplements help - Omega fats, B12, D, Vitamin C, Magnesium, and Zinc are among them.
10. During menopause, it is very important to support the adrenals and the liver and the jobs they do. Clean eating is key.
11. Eating healthy is not a pass-fail. Anything you can do better your nutrition is a win.
Nancy is leading a 5 Day Whole Food Detox April 12-16. She provides the detox plan, meal plan, shopping list, guidance/support. Sign up at this link: https://renewnutritiononline.com/services/

It snowed on April 1st. I freaked out, but realized that the weather was just having a little setback. I'm no stranger to setbacks. They happen to me all the time. And it would be easy to give up - the big snooze monster would love that, but you just have to get up and go again.
Setbacks assume some motion forward - two steps forward, one step back, but the good thing is that you are still one step forward.
Don't give up, don't ever give up.

In this week's Friday Night BeerBlog, we are celebrating the 26th anniversary of our first date and reminese about how when you start dating someone new, you date their friends as well. I have been friends with a lot of same people over the last 26 years as well, which make it all of our anniverary.
I've grown up in my adult life with many of the people I met on that first date and in that year that Mike and I dated and consider myself very lucky to have found all of them. I pay tribute to all of them tonight.
You can follow me on my website https://llmcshane.com or at my instagram @llmcshane for some daily motivational vibes. I will be back with another New Old You podcast next Wednesday.
Thank you for listening - Peace!

Cheryl Hart offers us a master class in discovering our psychological core in order to conquer our negative self-talk and negative self-concept.
The episode is chalk full of good insights and advice, but some takeaways include:
- Your psychological core is your values, beliefs, and attitudes - often people don't spend enough time with these in determining who they really are - their real selves.
- Thoughts that we have of ourselves that we run on a record every day becomes our self-concept. Be aware of your self talk.
- Use thought stopping techniques to make yourself aware when you are having negative thoughts about yourself.
- To increase mental toughness, create a list of unique qualities and abilities you have in order to develop an unstoppable self-belief.
- When you are being negative, come up with 1-3 key words or phases to bring yourself more into a positive frame.
- Ask yourself introspective questions when figuring out your true self. Who had a lot of influence over you when you were young and forming your self-concept? Who do you model yourself on now?
- Just one person who believes in you can make all the difference in the world. It could be a coach, spouse, parent, friend, etc.
- You have to get a handle on your self-talk in order to be able to really set good goals because negative self-talk can affect the type of goals you will set for yourself.
- Discovering yourself is like peeling back an onion, layer by layer and it doesn't happen overnight.
- Celebrate your successes and add it to a written list of your accomplishments. You can use this list when you feel down or insecure. This list is your highlight reel.

On this episode of The New Old You we continue our Inspiration Series with Mary Hester. Mary is the mother of a friend of mine who was very quick to volunteer her to be featured in this series. And that is because Mary, after many, many years working in an industry to didn't light her up, decided to face her fears and go back to college full-time at 50 to pursue her dream of getting a degree.
Mary doubted herself many times over, but knew this was her opportunity to do something she had always dreamed of. And because of her decision and the strength to push through is now living a life in retirement that is beyond her wildest dreams.
Among other things, Mary talks about:
- How it's not the things we do that we regret, it's the things we don't do.
- Imposter Syndrome is natural, but you just have to push through - especially when you have the opportunity.
- Part of clarity is just following a path you may already be on.
- Never be afraid to ask friends for help when you are working hard towards a lifelong goal.
- There are so many new things to learn about ourselves when we decide to make a move in our lives.
- Being social as you age is so important both mentally and physicially.
- Everyone's got a hidden dream whether they know it or not. Just grab onto it.
- Go for it and don't look back.
- You don't have to stop living because you're 50. 50 is very young. You've got so many more years ahead.
- Don't take everything too seriously and have a drink every now and then.
Thank you for listening. If you get the opportunity, please help my dream to come true by doing things like SUBSCRIBE, RATE, and REVIEW. It all means so much.
Follow my blog at https://llmcshane.com - it comes out on Fridays and there is always a FNBB podcast version that goes with it in case you would rather listen to it than read it.

Julie Stewart has the superpower of making new friends and new connections with people - all people. In this podcast she shares skills that are good advice for any age, but especially for women over 50 that are entering new phases in life and want to explore new interests and find new friends to last into the second half of life.
There are so many takeaways from this podcast and I encourage you to listen for your "nuggets", but Julie's biggest piece of advice for women over 50 who are determined to become more social is this: Make yourself accountable to other people to force yourself to be more social because being social is the #1 factor for maintaining your cognitive skills as you get older. So make it a priority. Schedule meet ups. Encourage conversation.
Julie is always looking for adventure race partners, accountability partners, just anyone that may want to hang out, chat, and do something fun. You can reach her on FACEBOOK at Julie Stewart (from Frankfort). Her websites are http://juliestewart.juiceplus.com and http://juliestewart.towergarden.com. Her Insta handle is @julieduttonstewart and email address is: juliecdstewart@gmail.com - mention that you heard her on the podcast.
Thank you so much for listening - if you enjoyed the podcast, take a screenshot and share on your social media so people can find me and my guests. Also, please SUBSCRIBE, RATE, and REVIEW so that the algorithm gods smile on me.
I will return on Friday with another Friday Night BeerBlog with Mike here or on my website at https://llmcshane.com. And as usual you can follow me on Instagram @llmcshane or @lamcshane.
In tonight's FNBB, Lesley reads and Mike comments on this week's blog about Making Something Out of Nothing and how sometimes nothing is available, no matter how willing you are to put it out there, especially is you are using all of your emotion creating somewhere else.
The note is that great creativity comes from great emotion and you should use it when you have it. Don't swallow it - it's a gift to be shared.
We hope you have a wonderful week and we intend to be back next week as we will be celebrating in the McShane house, but no hints till then.

In this week's solo The New Old You, Lesley takes a dive into 7 ways to fuel your motivation with inspiration. Reaching and achieving goals is not an overnight endeavor, it may take weeks, months, years and you'll need soul stirring inspiration to sustain the motivational emotion to get there.
Inspiration is all around, but is much easier to find when you know where to look. Today we focus these seven tips to find it:
- Making a solid rock hard decision on what you are going to do. Know it, own it, guard it.
- Don't focus what you do want, focus on what you don't want.
- Surrounding yourself with proof of "Yes I can!".
- Surrounding yourself with the inspirational stories of others.
- Developing good habits that will move you step by step closer toward your goal - starting with the habit of focused self-care.
- Finding purpose and inspiration by giving back to others.
- Finding someone who will support you.

98 Year Old Ewing Fahey recounts her life as a trailblazer. She was the first female editor of the University of Louisville's Cardinal Newspaper at age 19, the first female reporter at WAVE Radio during WWII, and the first female Advertising Manager for Louisville Magazine. She also served as editor of the same magazine for two years.
In between, at age 21, she packed up her bags and left for New York City as a single gal, and tells of a most extraordinary time in the city's history.
Ewing started her sculpting career in her 40s and overcame the fear of going back to school to learn a new craft, showing finally at age 58. She has since shown over 66 times .
Ewing encourages women over 50 to listen to their inner voice and then do it while learning to say no to others in order to protect your most valuable asset, your time.
Ewing is soft-spoken and zoom is touchy, so for best listening - do without headphones.
This is the first in what I hope will be a reoccurring part of the podcast - interviewing older women with amazing insight to aging. I'm calling it the "Inspiration Series". If you enjoyed this episode and/or want to hear more of these type of podcasts, please SUBSCRIBE, RATE, REVIEW.

On this week's Friday Night BeerBlog, Lesley reads to Mike her blog about how we are all in the same CoronaWorld space together and share this common thread, no matter who we are or where we are - and we have that connection forever. This moment was no more felt than when Lesley and a friend shared a much needed hug this week. (Hugs are my favorite, btw)
No person is above needing love and support from those around them. I don’t care how strong you think a person is, everybody, and I mean EVERYbody needs support, especially now.
Go out and spread some love and understanding and we'll see you back for the Friday Night BeerBlog next week. Check out the actual typed up version at https://llmcshane.com
In this episode of The New Old You, Lesley talks with Carol Mooney who supplemented her work life with pursuing a life-long passion, yoga and teacher certification. Carol talks about her decision to put herself first and what benefits yoga brings an individual after 50 or before.
Some takeaways include:
1. It doesn't matter your age when you decide to start working toward a direction you've always felt pulled. Your passion doesn't know how old you are.
2. Yoga is good for body awareness and a desire to go deeper into your actions. It helps dissolve the suffering in your life as well as gaining clarity.
3. The practice of yoga, like any gift, is to be given and shared with other people. And not just with people like ourselves, but others who may not normally have access to it.
4. Yoga is a great practice for any stage of life. You can do it at any age. It helps with body awareness, internal focus, along with increasing strength, flexibility, and balance.
5. Any yoga is better than none - even 20-30 minutes a day. As we age, movement is key.
6. While yoga is an individual, inward practice, it is a nice community activity to do with like-minded people.
7. Clarity doesn't have to be at 100% all at once - it's okay to try things out to see if they they fit.
8. If you've done right by your kinds, there's nothing more important in your whole life.
Carol teaches in person at Yoga East in Louisville, Kentucky and will return after Covid. Yoga East does offer many different types of member-based yoga classes online at https://yogaeast.org/

This is the very first "reading" and edit of the Friday Night Beer Blog - Podcast Version. Some people may not like to read blogs so I have decided to record a reading of them, which usually happens just with my husband Mike while we are drinking beer on Friday night.
This week's blog was about the albeit stressful migration of my old website to a new platform and domain and how that process was an analogy for the migration that I'm currently undertaking in my own personal life. As Maggie Smith in Keep Moving says, "Accept that sometimes dismantling has to happen before you can build."
