• Mastering Weight Loss: Sustainable Strategies That Stick!
    Dec 5 2024

    EP 136: This episode is all about sustainable weight loss tips for your health! You know when you are in the market and you don’t know what to buy? But you want to be “healthy” and you are trying to remember all the opposing things you have seen on IG and Tik Tok. Me too! Do you wonder if there are some tricks and strategies to just get the darn daily protein? How do I cut the sugar? What packaged foods are healthier choices? Want simple tips to refresh your diet? Need a little boost for your midlife health journey? I've got your back!

    In this episode, I am joined by the inspiring, fun and educational food & weight loss expert, Hunter Stoler. He is a certified health and nutrition coach and the mastermind behind Health With Hunter—a thriving social media platform and brand & a one-on-one (and group) coaching program designed to help you eat clean, get lean, and feel good. I mean what more can you ask for… Hunter’s IG and Tik Tok platforms are off the charts in growth and a healthy addiction.

    Today, we are digging deep into Hunter’s health and weight loss philosophies that are built around simplicity and sustainability, two things I love to prioritize in midlife. The “weights, the steps, the protein”...Ugh! Hunter’s story is as motivating as it gets. He turned his own health journey of losing 50 pounds into a thriving coaching business, and now he’s here to share his insights with us.

    We are getting into everything from his self-transformation in health and entrepreneurship. We talk about how to grow a social media following.This conversation covers the importance of consistency, the role of personalized nutrition, weight loss and practical and sustainable tips for health and wellness in midlife. As Hunter says, “Health is your wealth”.

  • Personal Style, Midlife Wardrobe Capsule, and Taking a Chance on Yourself...
    Oct 31 2024

    EP 134: As a midlife woman, do you ever feel like maybe you don’t really know what your style is with clothes and how you express yourself? Sometimes you are boho chic, while other times you are preppy chic. Do you ever crave the ease of a “capsule” wardrobe? A magical closet fairy who can solve your outfit dramas? Me too!

    I got your back! In this episode, I am joined by wardrobe stylist and fellow midlifer who just did her own personal midlife pivot, Kim Preis. This was like a blind date because I really just met her for the first time, so we are all getting to know her together.

    Join me as we dig deep into Kim’s journey in the fashion industry and common challenges that women in midlife face in regards to style and confidence. Kim emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and finding joy in personal style.

    Oct 17 2024

    EP 133: Title: A Juicy Midlife… Parenthood, Creative outlets, And The Importance Of Female Friends

    This is like the midlife bestie chat where you feel like a “fly on the wall” with two women getting into it all. “I threw out my back picking up something in the shower. Is this really where I am at right now, in midlife?” LOL.

    Today I am joined by midlife hottie, mom, social media superstar and top jewelry designer, Melinda Spiegel of Melinda Maria Jewelry. Today we are getting into everything midlife from parenting and following your passions to longevity and beauty routines. Let’s talk about our “angry b**** hormones”...Melinda’s thoughts on midlife friendships, hormones, husbands and parenting & of course the midlife “peeing all the time”...& is “manopause” real and happening? And, how I am making my whole family do the “stool poop” tests…My teenagers really love me. LOL.

    In typical Flexible Neurotic style we are getting honest and open and giving you so many dripping golden nuggets you will appreciate in midlife. We talk about entrepreneurial spirit, the impact of hormones, and the significance of pursuing your pivots. The beauty of “just starting the thing”. And, if you want to hear about Melinda’s supplements, workouts, her thoughtful eating habits…

    This is my second episode with Melinda. The first episode was during the pandemic and you can enjoy this episode too

  • Empty Nest Reframe…Yes, you can!
    Sep 19 2024

    EP 130: Permission for the “ugly cry” is granted. “midlife mom” mixed with “empty nest” or “half empty nest”, omg! Get ready for a new solo mini-sode where I get into everything empty nest (half empty nest) and “teen son” as I call him is now “college son”. He just left for his sophomore year of college. I’m heading into my second “year of lasts” (last prom, last SAT, last college apps) with “teen daughter”, finishing her last year of high school and I’m trying to stay present for all of it, “hard and good” as I say!

    I am digging deep with all of you into my personal journey through the “ugh’s and fabulosities” of parenting in midlife and the transition to an empty nest. I’m still a “half empty nester”. I know you’re feeling it too and I’m here to remind you that you are not alone. Parenting sh** mixed with new feelings of feeling irrelevant. Woosh! When we enter an “empty nest” era, our mom duties change from “mangager to consultant” and the need for self-reflection, personal growth and humor is necessary. Getting real with you, per usual.
    Today, I am giving you practical golden nuggets for navigating this experience! You won’t want to miss this episode, also available on Youtube!
