Remember when making friends was as simple as riding bikes around the neighborhood until the streetlights came on? As we navigate midlife, the friendship landscape shifts dramatically. Here's how to rediscover meaningful connections when they matter most.

As we celebrate Women's History Month this March, we honor not just the well-known historical figures, but also the remarkable women who dared to redefine aging. From Grandma Moses picking up a paintbrush at 76 to Diana Nyad conquering the 'Mount Everest of swims' at 64, these trailblazers show us that our greatest adventures often begin after 50. What would you attempt if you knew age was truly just a number? Your journey of aging wild is part of this ongoing story of women redefining what's possible at every stage of life.

As midlife women, we often blame our fatigue on age or hormones, but there are hidden energy thieves lurking in our daily lives. From digital distractions to postponed dreams, discover the 10 surprising drains on your energy and learn practical solutions to reclaim your natural vitality. Includes a simple energy audit to help you identify and fix your personal energy zappers.

Life transitions in midlife, like divorce, retirement, an empty nest, or evolving health challenges, can leave us feeling lost, questioning our identity, and uncertain about the future. However, these challenges also offer powerful opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Building resilience is key to not only surviving these changes but thriving through them.

My life these days could not be better! I’m several pounds lighter, active  every day, eat healthy (most days), avoid alcohol, and take no medications. Turns out being happy with myself and content with my own life really is the best medicine!

Trying new foods is one of the great pleasures of travel. Sometimes it’s easy to make healthy choices. The street food in northern Thailand was amazing – cooked fresh right in front of you at incredibly cheap prices.

However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and eating well on the road can also be a challenge. It’s easy to make excuses for “little indulgences”.  Case in point – an extra 5-10 pounds I gained enjoying great baked goods in Ireland.

Walking and staying active definitely helps, but what we put into our bodies makes a huge difference in how we look and feel, and more importantly our energy levels. Traveling has opened my eyes to many new possibilities and ideas for eating well and living a healthy lifestyle.
