Jennifer includes a ton of sleep tips and tricks; and explains why sleep is so important for our bodies!! Now let's tuck-in to listen and go to bed by 10!!! :-)

Travel...one of my favorite subjects! In this episode, we talk with travel agent, Michelle Jeffers of MJs Getaways about all things travel. She talks about smart tips and tricks while planning your own vacation; and the importance of having a plan as we become more "mature" travelers or are traveling with those who are. And did you know that using a travel agent is a free service?? Bon Voyage!

In this episode, we talk with Wilson Eidson, owner of Wilson's on Washington in Greenville, SC, about all things hair and how to use it (cut, color, style, etc) to our advantage as we "mature".

We will also talk about solutions for thinning hair, which Wilson says is much more prevalent now than in all his 40 years in the beauty business. We are joined by a special guest, Jessica Zimmerman (representative for Surface,) who shares her expertise and suggestions surrounding thinning hair; and how to improve this condition with their Awaken product.

Throughout, Wilson shares his insight and humor with us as his suggestions are offered to make us the best version possible of ourselves at every age and stage. Hope you enjoy!

On this episode, we talk to Becky Watson, who owns a yoga therapy practice, on the subject of Empty Nesting!

Becky has become the go-to coach for women who are smacked in the face with an empty nest; and she provides valuable insight about how we can come back to ourselves and really embrace this new role and stage of our lives. Becky also offers an online course for those who need further guidance during this, often times, tumultuous transition. We hope you enjoy this episode as we go through this next chapter together!!

Meet Amy Bishop, co-owner of a local family-founded, family-run farm, Greenbrier Farms as well as one of my favorite local restaurants Fork & Plough. Amy talks about what it's like to live on and run a farm, why eating local really matters, and some insights and lessons she has learned along the way! Enjoy this behind the scenes look at modern day farm life; and how supporting our local farmers makes us all healthier and more connected at the same time!

Coach, speaker, podcaster, and now author, Sallie Holder, shares her insight and wisdom with us as to how we can turn our business idea, the next chapter, or that thing you have been dreaming about into reality.

With her new book, Hitting Rock Middle (available for pre-order now,) she breaks down her "Be Bolder" framework that we can use over and over again when challenged with that quiet voice in our head and soul that tells us it is time for something more. Are you ready to live your biggest, most audacious dream? Sallie's book, and the introduction to it in this episode, will provide you the inspiration to begin the journey! I will be cheering you on!!!
