    How to Develop Meaningful Friendships in Midlife

    How to Develop Meaningful Friendships in Midlife

    It's a wild ride! Midlife brings about massive shifts - our interests evolve, old relationships fade while new ones blossom, kids fly the nest, and careers wind down. With all these changes, forging new friendships can feel like navigating uncharted waters.


    That does not diminish how important building friendships in midlife is for women. Having friends who get what you’re going through can be a lifeline. They're there to vent with when you need it, share a laugh, or just hang out. Plus, catching up over coffee or taking a walk together is not just fun; it’s a great way to keep stress at bay and stay connected. Having good pals during these years isn’t just nice—it’s essential for staying happy and healthy.


    Learn how to develop those much-needed relationships in this week's video.

    Bust Through Those Midlife Regrets!

    Bust Through Those Midlife Regrets!

    Do you ever feel stuck in the past? Do you sometimes replay what could have been over and over in your head? If so, you’re not alone.
    Today we are talking about ways to help yourself from falling down or becoming overwhelmed with midlife pressures and not moving forward or, not doing what you want to do with this next chapter of your life.


    This topic is important because life ends far too quickly for most of us. As much as we want to control how many days we have left, we can’t. But we can choose how to spend each one. 


    Midlife is too short to be dragging around regrets like old baggage. Sure, we've all got a handful (or two) of things we wish we'd done differently. But you know what? Beating yourself up about it won't change anything. Instead, why not use those regrets as stepping stones? Embrace them, learn from them, and then kick them to the curb. Life's too exciting to be stuck in the past. Let go of those regrets like yesterday's news. Trust me, you'll feel lighter, freer, and ready to tackle your next chapter.


    Tune in to this episode for some friendly advice and personal experience on how to build your fabulous next chapter.

    Jamie Kern Lima Book Reviews - Believe It and Worthy

    Jamie Kern Lima Book Reviews - Believe It and Worthy

    Today I'm reviewing two books by Jamie Kern Lima. The first one is called Believe It, and the most recent one, which just came out in 2024, is titled Worthy. Jamie founded It Cosmetics and eight years later sold it to L'Oreal for $1.2 billion. Subsequently, she became the first woman to hold the title of CEO in all of L'Oreal's 108-year history. 
    For a woman hitting midlife, diving into Jamie Kern Lima's books is like grabbing coffee with a wise friend who's been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale. Lima's story of hustling through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship is like a shot of motivation for anyone contemplating a career pivot or chasing dreams later in life. Plus, her down-to-earth vibe and knack for embracing imperfection make her the ultimate cheerleader for those of us navigating the messy middle of life. Crack open one of her books, and you're bound to find nuggets of wisdom on how to own your quirks, squash self-doubt, and strut into the second half of life like you own it.


    Tune in to this episode for my honest review and personal insights into this extraordinary woman.

    Beauty Pie Subscription Review

    Beauty Pie Subscription Review

    In the midst of life's hustle and bustle, it's easy for women to put skincare and hair care on the back burner, especially as we hit the midlife mark. But here's the scoop: embracing these routines isn't just about looking good – it's about feeling great inside and out as we start our fabulous next chapter.
    As we age, our skin and hair undergo changes that can mess with our confidence. Think wrinkles popping up like surprise guests and hair losing its luster. But by getting into a groove with skincare and hair care, we're not just tackling those pesky signs of aging—we're boosting our self-esteem too. It's like hitting pause on the chaos and giving yourself some TLC. 

    Plus, what if you could buy fantastic beauty products, whether it's skincare, makeup, or hair products, at a fraction of the cost that you're currently paying when you go into a store? 

    What if these products were available online and shipped to your door?


    In this episode, I’m sharing one of my mid-life beauty secrets with no strings attached: Beauty Pie. There are no affiliate links and no pressure to buy, just my honest review.
    In this episode, you will be able to:
    Hear about the exclusive benefits of a Beauty Pie membership and how it can revolutionize your beauty routine.Discover the secret to finding high-quality, affordable beauty products that won't break the bank.Transform your aging hair with the best hair care products tailored to its specific needs.//WHEN YOU’RE READY, HERE’S HOW I CAN HELP YOU
