Ep 41: Feeling What we Do!! The WTF Wrap Up for 2023, Aspirations and ‘Nudges’ for the New Year Women Talking Frankly

    • Health & Fitness

In this episode, Candace and Kyle take the time to pause, reflect and kickoff the New Year with a wrap up of the best of WTF 2023, our favorite episodes and yours, what we learned, accomplished, enjoyed, or indulged in, and how we tried to make our world - the world of women’s health - a better place.



Much is being talked about how to make and keep effective New Year’s resolutions, and we introduce a phrase that particularly resonates with us; How to imagine our better future selves and spinoff with a few new concepts we like better than To Do lists and resolutions.



In this episode, we reveal your favorite and most frequently shared WTF episodes of 2023 and some exciting analytics, including the astounding increase in our followers (up by 64%) and streamings (up by 91%) - and we celebrate going global with WTF listeners in 20 countries worldwide!

We are growing (!) and think we can say that you told your friends about us (!) and are really feeling what we do!

Favorite Quotes:

Let us take a moment to honor Suzanne Somers, the glamorous, comedic actor turned hormone guru who, sadly, passed this year, and whose blockbuster book, The Sexy Years, blew open the dialogue around menopause and put bioidenticals on the map. Suzannne was one of the first to empower women to insist on safer treatment options during menopause! “One thing I love about aging—and I do love aging—I’ve got a wisdom that no young person can buy. You earn it.”

The Sexy Years:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/120110.The_Sexy_Years?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_14



"So many women I've talked to see menopause as an ending. But I've discovered this is your moment to reinvent yourself after years of focusing on the needs of everyone else. It's your opportunity to get clear about what matters to you and then to pursue that with all of your energy, time and talent." — Oprah Winfrey



"Gravity and wrinkles are fine with me. They're a small price to pay for the new wisdom inside my head and my heart.” – Drew Barrymore



"My belief is that it’s a privilege to get older. Not everybody gets to get older.” — Cameron Diaz



“The trick is to age honestly and gracefully and make it look great so that everyone looks forward to it.” – Emma Thompson
