Today’s episode is incredibly special. . .and magical. It may seemingly step outside the domain of women in midlife creating magic and mayhem…but just wait. I often say, if you ever doubt the life-changing impact one person can have, meet Jackson Kaguri. Jackson is the founder of Nyaka, an organization which provides community-based solutions to address the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children in rural southwestern Uganda. Nyaka surrounds each child with a comprehensive support system. This consists of interrelated programs such as education, health care and housing, developed and led by ..read more

This week is another solo episode. I really like doing these. It gives me a chance to not only have an – what feels like – intimate conversation with you, but a few moments of reflection with myself. Today I set up a piece I wrote almost 4 years ago on the heels of one of the most transformational experiences of my life. At the core, it’s about the importance of experiential learning. Of course, reading books and listening to a bajillion podcasts is really helpful and informative for gaining knowledge. I've listened to a bajillion podcasts and love them so much I started my own! But there is N ..read more

When you get to be our age, the health of your brain becomes a little more…noticeable. Looking for your deodorant in the refrigerator. Walking out of one room to get something and when you get to the next room where the thing is supposed to be, you can’t remember what it was you came into that room for.  Just me? No probably not. Well, today’s conversation is with Allison Liu, a brain health coach and expert in helping women reclaim their mental sharpness and improve their energy and mood. Allison herself struggled with brain fog and panic attacks in her early 50s. Forgetting what she was ..read more

Hi friends. Today we have a very special guest on the show. My husband of 28 years, Scott. We sat down in our dining room with no real agenda, turned on the camera and just started talking. Raw, organic, unscripted. A behind the scenes inside our marriage. This is real-time conversation touching on the question we get asked the most: “How do you do it? How do you have such a great relationship after 30 years of being together?” This episode dives into one of the key principles we believe is the cornerstone of a strong, loving, nurturing, and thriving relationship.  The idea of occurrin ..read more

I'm trying something different this week. A mini, solo episode, unscripted, unedited...more like a short, intimate conversation just between you and me. Some of the private, in-the-moment thoughts I feel called to share. This first one is about taking a sacred pause. It's my permission slip for you, right now, to take a break. Because we get to do that ya know? Amid all that life throws at us, invites us into, lobs our way...we still get to slow down and take a deep breath. To take it all in. To look around and see what's actually happening. To wonder if we are where we want to be. And to c ..read more

Whether we are trying to lose a few extra pounds, get stronger or improve our health in general, midlife shows us that the things we did to get those results in our 20s, 30s and early 40s often just don't work at all anymore. And with the insane amount of health information out there, it can be really difficult to know which approach is the right one for us. Claire and James Davis are the husband and wife team behind the multi- award winning wellbeing company 38 Degrees North and thriving midlife coaching business, The Midlife Mentors.
