Midlife Love Out Loud podcast

In this episode of Midlife Love Out Loud, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Marla Mervis-Hartman, a body image expert and specialist in emotional eating and self-acceptance. Together, we explored some of the biggest challenges women face in midlife regarding loving and accepting their bodies. We talked about what emotional eating really is — it's not just about overeating; it also includes controlling food as a way to cope with emotions. We also touched on the societal pressures we all feel around body image, the importance of finding support, and practical steps for improving our relationship with food and our bodies. Marla shared some great advice on self-care and even gave a sneak peek into her upcoming book. I'm so excited for you to listen to this conversation because it's packed with real, actionable takeaways that can help you embrace your body and find peace in your relationship with food.

In the realm of dating, there's simply no avoiding it—rejection is an inevitable part of the journey. But what if facing rejection didn't have to feel like navigating a minefield of emotions? What if you could approach it with a sense of resilience and even, dare I say, a hint of excitement?  Imagine being able to gracefully handle unexpected ghosting or a straightforward "Sorry, we're not a fit" text with ease and even a touch of humor. Your past experiences undoubtedly shape how you perceive and react to rejection. While reframing rejection as a natural part of dating can certainly empower you, the real strength lies in healing and recognizing your inherent worth.

Getting older is no small thang! Not only is your body changing, your society has conditioned you to think you've lost value. When you're wanting to date and feel amazing, this inner negative self-talk can wreak havoc on your confidence.   I just had a captivating conversation with the remarkable Amy Wall,  an esteemed esthetician who ties consciousness and beauty together.  Amy Wall takes us on a profound exploration of self-image and emphasizes the transformative power of inner image work. We talked about embracing natural aging and navigating the relentless pressures of societal beauty standards. Amy Wall is an award-winning esthetician leading the beauty industry forward with consciousness. With 20 years of experience, Amy was mentored by the formulator who discovered the peptide for the cosmetic industry, giving her a unique insight into the behind-the-scenes of skincare science. Amy's fascination with beauty and wellness began in 1984 when she began meditating in the mirror while applying her skincare products. As a pioneer and visionary of conscious beauty, Amy is committed to using only natural and sustainable ingredients in her products. Her dedication to ethical and environmentally friendly practices, along with adding consciousness to our everyday skin routines, has earned her a reputation as a maverick in the industries of beauty and skin. With her expertise, knowledge, and devotion to combining topical ingredients, energy, and the power of the self-image, Amy will help you take back the reins of how you feel about yourself as you age and transform you from a Sleeping Beauty into an Awakened Muse.

Do you like cold showers? Probably not.  What if you make the decision to take one anyway because you've heard it's great for your health?  What if you face the dread of the shivers, the discomfort, and shift your mindset from avoidance to acceptance?   Good news! I am not going to encourage you to take cold showers. It's a metaphor for love! (And it is great for your health too)  Just like the cold plunge, in your quest for love, you'll encounter challenges that might make you hesitate or feel anxious. You might hate online dating or dread that first difficult conversation.  Rather than shying away from those sometimes challenging moments, what if you made a choice to lean in and do it anyway because you know it's bringing you closer to your goal?   Check out this week's podcast on the importance of mindset when it comes to love. Junie Moon, CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, Best-selling Author, Women's Empowerment Leader, and Certified Shadow Work Coach, has supported thousands of women over the past 30 years to claim what is their birthright: the freedom to be and love themselves without apology.

In our culture, we don't talk about death. It scares us, and yet, it's everywhere and part of life. What if we could actually embrace death in a new way that actually opens us up to a more fulfilled life?   What if embracing the beauty of the inevitable end can be a transformative and life-affirming journey?  In this episode, I had the deep honor of interviewing  Andrea Deerheart about this huge topic. She shared how death and dying can lead us to experiencing a more rich life. Dearheart also shared a powerful tool called Yoga Nidra, which helps us be more in the present moment and magnetize more love into our lives.  Take a deep breath and enjoy this new perspective on death, dying and opening to love out loud. Dr. Andrea Deerheart is the passionate founder of The HeartWay, a nonprofit organization dedicated to embracing life by honoring death. She is the author of Yoga Nidra: Graceful Transitions, Elli's Ride: Death Beyond Imagination, Principles of End-of-Life Care & Clinical Skills for End-of-Life Practitioners. Using wisdom gathered from decades of guiding the living and dying physically, spiritually, and psychologically, Dr. Deerheart has provided loving care, education, counseling, and ministry dedicated to co-creating a visionary map with the dying and their families. With this map, she helps people navigate the labyrinth of fear, perplexing medical systems, emotional and spiritual landscapes, and practical end-of-life decisions. She also offers diverse programs emphasizing the relevance of the lessons learned near death for living a more loving and compassionate life.

Are you taking time to reflect on how you are “being” in your life or are you a “doing” machine?  We are constantly bombarded by the “shoulds” in life and what self care looks like. This leads to lots of doing and not a lot of being.   You should be exercising. You should be eating well. Yada yada.  In this episode I delve into the power of truly tuning in to yourself and building the muscle of deep listening. When you build this most important muscle of slowing down and going within, it will help you honor your needs, nurture your well-being, and help you navigate life's challenges with grace and authenticity. This is REAL self care.  It also helps you with all your relationships. If you want meaningful, loving connections, it's uber important to cultivate the art of deep listening. It's an essential self-care practice to know YOURSELF. That will then lead you toward healthy in-to-me-you-see.  It's time to release the habit of pushing yourself relentlessly and ignoring what's happening within.  Instead, develop the skill of slowing down,  listening to your inner voice and allowing it to guide you in how you want to be in your life and with others. Junie Moon, CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, Best-selling Author, Women's Empowerment Leader, and Certified Shadow Work Coach, has supported thousands of women over the past 30 years to claim what is their birthright: the freedom to be and love themselves without apology.

Hope, often perceived as a longing for something you don't have, can stem from a sense of lack or unfulfillment. I see it as a passive waiting for something external to change or happen. On the other hand, desire feels more like an active force, a spark ignited within us, pulling us towards our dreams. By shifting your perspective from hope to desire, you step into the driver's seat of your life. Instead of merely hoping, you begin to trust yourself and tap into the power of (wo)manifestation!  You become an intentional architect of your new life chapter, planting seeds of what you want, and taking deliberate actions to bring your desires to fruition. This shift empowers you to embrace your innate potential and create the life you dream of, proactively shaping your own journey.  If you truly desire to have a spectacular second half of life, empowered, joy-filled and on your terms, listen in.  Junie Moon, CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, Best-selling Author, Women's Empowerment Leader, and Certified Shadow Work® Coach, has supported thousands of women over the past 30 years to claim what is their birthright: the freedom to be and love themselves without apology.

Let's dive into the prevalent stigma surrounding STDs and specifically Herpes, exploring the challenges of dating openly and honestly while living with this condition. It's a topic that many shy away from, but we'll address it head-on. It's common to feel like your world has collapsed, experiencing a whirlwind of emotions that shake your self-esteem and make you question your own value.

With that mission in mind, she founded Life With Herpes, an online community consisting of a podcast, a website, Youtube channel, wellness products to support the skin condition and an online community that provides support, all dedicated to shattering the stigma of living with herpes.

But here's the thing: boundaries can actually be an amazing opportunity to strengthen your connections with others and let them into your world.

In this episode, we delve into the topic of female self-pleasure during midlife. It's a subject that many of us may feel uncomfortable discussing, but it's a natural and integral part of our sexuality that deserves recognition.  Are you neglecting your own sexual needs and desires, prioritizing sleep or Netflix instead? It's easy to fall into this pattern, but it can have long-term consequences on our libido and connection with ourselves.  By nurturing our sexual fire through solo pleasure, we become more in tune with our bodies and open to exploring with partners. Join us for an honest conversation as Junie shares the importance of keeping our inner flame burning. Junie Moon, CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, Best-selling Author, Women's Empowerment Leader, and Certified Shadow Work® Coach, has supported thousands of women over the past 30 years to claim what is their birthright: the freedom to be and love themselves without apology. When women experience this freedom to love themselves without apology, they attract life-long Next Level Love and experience an extraordinary second half of life.  Remember to "LIKE" AND "SUBSCRIBE" to the channel so that you don't miss a single Love Life Changing episode.
