It's the struggle that so many women face, FINDING THE RIGHT BRA. For this episode, we went to bra fitting experts Cynthia Decker and Molly Hopkins of Livi Rae Lingerie to learn what the secrets are. They shared with us about how sizing works and why most women cannot get the right fit. We learned about bra construction and how to get the best support, as well as how to care for our bras. There were revelations about back fat and minimizers, and the average size of women in the US. We both had virtual fittings (highly recommend) and they gave us the right bras for our midlife boobs! Their tagline at Livi Rae is "Let Us Lift You Up" and this episode will lift your spirits, as well as help you to lift your girls.  And yes, those are the girls from "90 Day Fiance Pillow Talk" and "Double Divas". Eeeek, Gail was totally fangirling. And with this episode, we are sharing that Livi Rae is the OFFICIAL BRA FITTER OF MIDLIFE MOXIE!

FALL FASHION...ahhh! The best season of the year for fashion and style. Gail remembers being a child and methodically reviewing all of those thick magazine issues with the new trends. In this episode, we found a kindred spirit with a passion for fashion in Stylist Debra Schwartz. Deb Schwartz started with Barbie: mixing and matching outfits. Next, she was dressing her sisters, staging her own at-home fashion shows. She went on to study design in college, where she was the go-to girl for styling and shopping (and borrowing)! After graduation, she focused her energy and eye designing for cosmetic titan, Estee Lauder, followed by a decade at her own startup digital media company. But nothing gave her the kick she got from styling women. Now in her 2.0plus, she's come full circle, back to her first love. Debra joins us from the US fashion capital, New York City, for a great breakdown of the season's hits and misses. She and Gail are in the zone while Christina asks questions "from the fashion-challenged", haha.

We met Brooke in a Clubhouse room and felt an instant connection. She co-hosts the HERSPECTIVE podcast, HER views, HER story, HERspective , be HER.....be HEARD, and is all about women finding their voice. We wanted to hear about the issues that we discuss from a different cultural perspective and Brooke was open to that discussion. So we went all-in on menstruation, menopause, and other women's issues to see if there were differences in how those are discussed among whites and people of color. We had a great time with Brooke and with Juneteenth coming up, this was the perfect time to release this fun and informative episode.

Midlife women over 40 are thriving, winning in their careers and on the home front. Jessica Foster is doing all of that as well as undergoing a health & wellness journey. She is also part of the "women supporting women" movement and uses her influence to give back in her local community.

She believes that fashion is a way to express joy and happiness and is determined to 'inspire before she expires'. Manny Martins-Karman certainly inspired us to step out and express ourselves.
