    Stronger, Smarter, and Slightly Sore

    Fitness and nutrition in midlife can feel different than they used to — but that does not mean we stop trying. In this episode, Maryanna and Jay talk about getting stronger, making smarter choices, staying consistent, and giving yourself some grace along the way. From food habits and workout motivation to soreness, discipline, and real-life setbacks, this conversation is about finding a healthier rhythm that actually fits this season of life. It’s not about perfection. It’s about taking the turn toward better health, one step at a time.

    The Long Way Around: Detours, Disappointments, and Finding Purpose

    Sometimes life takes us the long way around — through detours, delays, disappointments, and unexpected turns we never would have chosen for ourselves. In Episode 2 of Take The Turn with Maryanna and Jay, we share personal stories about the roads that did not go exactly as planned, but still helped shape who we are today. We talk about family, marriage, Olympic dreams, faith, perspective, and how even the hard turns can lead to growth and purpose. This episode is for anyone who has ever looked back and wondered why life unfolded the way it did. Sometimes the long road still leads exactly where we needed to go. 🌐 https://www.taketheturnshow.com📧 podcast@taketheturnshow.com Follow us everywhere: @taketheturnshow

    The Turn Is Coming… Are You Ready?

    The turn is coming… but are we ready for it? In our first episode of Take the Turn with Maryanna and Jay, we share why we started this podcast, what this season of life looks like for us, and why we believe midlife and beyond can still be full of purpose, growth, faith, laughter, and new direction. We talk about marriage, raising older kids, shifting priorities, aging parents, and the realization that life does not slow down just because the road ahead looks different. Instead of ignoring the turns that are coming, we want to face them with intention—and invite you to come along with us. Whether you are in midlife, approaching it, or simply wondering what comes next, this episode is our starting point. Take the turn with us.
