Lifelong traveler, Barbara Winard, 78, has been exploring the globe since she was in her twenties. She loves traveling independently and has taken 8 trips as a solo traveler with Road Scholar— the not-for-profit world leader in educational travel for older adults. Barbara travels to learn, so Road Scholar's focus on educational travel has been a perfect fit for her. “Discovering new things in your life is wonderful,” she says. “All travel expands your world and helps you understand other people.”After traveling with Road Scholar to South Dakota, Barbara started writing blogs for the organization and quickly became Road Scholar's go-to expert on solo travel. Through her work with the organization, she formed a friendship with Road Scholar's former blog editor (and now PR director) Kelsey Knoedler Perri, 38. They have since traveled on a Road Scholar trip together to Quebec City. They both appreciate that Road Scholar has given them the opportunity to build an intergenerational connection.Hear about Barbara's experience as a solo traveler, how travel has changed for her as she ages, and learn from Kelsey about Road Scholar and how working for the organization for over 10 years has changed her perspective on older adults and aging.“Discover new things in your life.

You don't need a milestone or someone else's permission to claim your freedom in midlife. You just need to stop waiting for it. Following up on last week’s episode about claiming your independence, the question to ask yourself now is “What am I free to create in this next chapter of my life?” In this episode, I share a Daily Word reading that explores the concept of freedom and I get honest about the fear that keeps so many of us settling. You’ll learn what questions to ask yourself to help you get to the root of the fear that may be keeping you from living boldly and on purpose. And I offer a light language transmission to help you release whatever might be keeping you stuck. If you're ready to stop waiting for permission and start designing your life your way, this one's for you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why “free as a bird” isn't just a metaphor: it's a decision you get to make about your career, relationships, and legacy at this stage of life. A simple line of questioning that helps you find the real fear underneath your fear, instead of stopping at the surface-level excuse. Why settling for what's comfortable can quietly cost you decades — my mother's story, and the lesson I still carry from it. How to turn every hard season you've survived into a “resilience journal” you can lean on the next time life gets hard. Resources & links mentioned: Unity's Daily Word Live. Love.

What if the most powerful act of midlife reinvention you could make this year wasn't about leaving anything behind — but about fully claiming your right to stop settling and live life on your own terms? July 4, 2026 commemorates America’s 250th birthday and it’s had me thinking about what independence really means for women over 50. In this solo episode, I share stories from my own life, growing up during the women’s liberation movement, watching my mom quietly settle in a marriage that dimmed her spirit, and my own journey of midlife self-discovery. I open up about the fears and limiting beliefs that hold so many of us back: financial insecurity, fear of being alone, and the old habit of people-pleasing. I also share a short light language transmission to help you release whatever’s been keeping you small. By the end of this episode, I hope you feel ready to write your own declaration of independence — a mindset shift toward living life on your terms, free from limiting beliefs, free from relationships that no longer serve you, and free from anything that was never yours to carry. In this episode, you'll discover: Why declaring independence after 50 is more about releasing limiting beliefs (like unworthiness and fear of others' opinions) than about leaving a person or situation. How watching my mom stay in an unfulfilling marriage taught me that financial fear can keep even strong women from claiming what they want Why true independence in midlife requires support (the colonies didn't do it alone, and neither should you) A simple mirror work practice to build confidence after 50 and reclaim your visibility when the world tries to make you feel invisible How to start writing your own declaration of independence — naming exactly what you're letting go of and what you're choosing instead Resources & links mentioned: Suffs, the Broadway musical about the American suffrage movement.

Real Life Runners I Tying Running and Health into a Family-Centered Life
With so many supplements marketed to runners, it's easy to wonder what's actually worth taking. In this episode, we cut through the noise and focus on a few supplements that have strong research behind them—while emphasizing that no supplement can replace consistent training, good nutrition, quality sleep, and proper recovery.We break down the Three Cs: Carbohydrates, Creatine, and Caffeine.First, we discuss why many runners are underfueling and how carbohydrates play a critical role in performance, recovery, and endurance. Next, we explore creatine monohydrate, one of the most researched supplements available, and its benefits for strength, recovery, and overall health. Finally, we cover caffeine, including how it can improve performance, common dosing guidelines, and why personal tolerance matters.We also briefly touch on vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, and collagen, and discuss when they may be worth considering.In This Episode:Why supplements should never replace the fundamentalsHow carbohydrates support performance and recoveryThe benefits of creatine for runnersHow caffeine can enhance enduranceWhen other supplements may be helpfulAvoiding the optimization trap and keeping things simple03:53 The Three Cs 09:59 Fueling During Runs14:29 Carb Targets And Gut Training20:16 Women Over 40 And Carbs25:03 Adjusting Fuel To Effort28:31 Creatine Explained41:14 Monohydrate and Daily Dose43:25 Caffeine Performance Basics46:23 Dosing and GI Timing47:33 Metabolism and Jitters50:29 Sleep and Tolerance Tradeoffs54:12 Race Day Caffeine Rules56:54 Vitamin D Testing59:34 Magnesium for Cramps01:03:38 Omega 3 Benefits01:05:26 Collagen Versus ProteinGain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

What if the best workout for your body is not the hardest one, but the one you can actually keep showing up for? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Megan Roup, founder of The Sculpt Society, celebrity trainer, mother, former professional dancer, and creator of a movement method designed to help women build strength, confidence, and consistency without burnout. Together, they explore why so many women feel overwhelmed by midlife fitness advice, especially around strength training, cardio, cortisol, pelvic floor health, menopause, and body composition.Megan shares why extreme, all-or-nothing workout plans often fail women in real life, especially during midlife when hormones, sleep, stress, family responsibilities, and energy levels are constantly shifting. She explains how shorter, well-programmed workouts can still support muscle, bone density, cardiovascular health, mobility, and emotional well-being.Dr. Taz and Megan also discuss pelvic floor function, progressive overload, cardio myths, GLP-1 medications, body image, intuitive movement, and why body confidence does not come from being thin. Megan offers a more realistic, joyful, and sustainable way to think about movement as medicine, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, postpartum recovery, and the constant transitions of life.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like fitness became another source of pressure instead of a path back to themselves.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Senobi breathing, a Japanese breathing technique that headlines are claiming can help you lose weight. The buzz is based on a 2010 study from Japan that found some pretty compelling hormonal and body-composition changes in participants who practiced this simple one-minute exercise three times a day. Could a few deep breaths in a specific posture really shift your metabolism, activate your nervous system, and burn body fat? Jenn digs into the actual study, breaks down what Senobi breathing is, why it might work, and what the science does and does not actually tell us. She sees the intrigue, but does she buy it?

I used to think getting in shape meant pushing harder. Harder workouts. More intensity. Sweat more. Do more. Don't stop. But after knee surgery… I didn't have that option anymore. And honestly? It forced me to ask a better question: "How long can I support my body?" Instead of… "How hard can I push it?" That one shift changed everything. In this week's Do It My Way episode, I'm sharing what I'm calling: "The New Fitness Formula for Women Over 50: Walk, Stretch, Strength." This isn't about doing less. It's about finally doing what actually works for this season of life. Here's a preview of what I'm breaking down: Why walking isn't "just exercise"—it's therapy It's the most underrated anti-aging tool we ignore because it feels too simple. Some of my best days start with a walk—talking to my daughter, calling my mom, or just letting my mind wander. I always come back clearer, calmer, and ready. Why stretching matters more than your workouts Most women don't have a fitness problem—they have a mobility problem. And you don't lose strength first… you lose range of motion first. Why strength training isn't about looking fit anymore It's about staying capable. My workouts look completely different now, but I feel better than I have in years, and I'm no longer hurting. Why sleep is your most important "workout" If you're not sleeping well, you're not actually getting stronger—you're just exhausting yourself. And the biggest shift of all… Learning to listen to your body instead of overriding it. Because at this stage: Discipline isn't pushing harder—it's knowing when not to. This episode is personal. It's a reset. And for a lot of women, I think it's going to feel like permission. Permission to stop punishing your body… And start supporting the life you actually want to live.
Celeste interviewed Kyla Dickerson, an IFBB fit model pro, coach, and posing specialist who has competed in 28 marathons and is redefining strength and confidence for women over 40 in bodybuilding. Kyla shared how her late mother instilled visualization techniques in her at a young age, including a specific example of learning to do a back dive, which became a foundation for her approach to achieving goals. The conversation touched on Kyla's pre-competition rituals and her mother's belief in visualization and manifestation, which Kyla described as key to her success across various endeavors including marathons and pageants. Personal Philosophy and Career Support Kyla shared her personal philosophy of staying true to herself regardless of her surroundings, inspired by her mother's advice to "live like it's your last day." She discussed how her husband supports her career as an athlete and IPV fitness model, with him encouraging her to focus on helping women over 40 feel better in their bodies and minds. Kyla expressed gratitude for her husband's support and mentioned her regret about not taking a photo with him after receiving her pro card at her first competition. Kyla's First Pro Show Victory Kyla shared her experience winning her first pro show, describing the challenging journey to Pittsburgh Nationals where she faced multiple obstacles including weather delays, flight changes, and her husband getting sick. Despite these difficulties, Kyla and a fellow competitor who was also traveling to the show managed to find accommodations and workout facilities. When Kyla won the pro card, she was genuinely surprised as she had been discouraged by her previous bikini competition experiences and had initially planned not to compete at all that year. Fit Model Competition Experience Kyla shared her experience competing in her first professional fit model show, where she placed 5th in the Masters division. She discussed the unique aspects of fit model competitions, including the unpredictability of placements and the opportunity to connect with other competitors. Kyla expressed her preference for competing in the Masters category and shared feedback about her performance, including suggestions for improvement. She also mentioned plans to discuss concerns about the treatment of the Masters division compared to Open division on a podcast. Masters vs Open Division Disparities Kyla expressed concerns about discrepancies in prize money and placement recognition between Masters and Open divisions at a competition. She noted that Masters competitors were not charged to compete but questioned why they received different treatment in terms of prize money and placement recognition compared to Open competitors. Kyla emphasized the need for equal treatment between divisions, particularly highlighting the challenges faced by older competitors in the Masters division. Physique Competition Division Strategies Kyla and Celeste discussed the challenges and strategies in competitive physique shows, particularly focusing on the differences between the Masters and Open divisions. They explored how placement in one division might affect competitors' performance in the other, with Celeste suggesting that going first in the Open division could be advantageous. Kyla emphasized the importance of not letting placement define an athlete's future in the sport and highlighted the success of pro show winners who embody the fit model look. The conversation also touched on the inspiring presence of older competitors and Kyla's mission to empower women over 40 through her achievements and story of discipline in the sport. Coaching for Women Over 40 Kyla discussed her coaching approach for women over 40, emphasizing that sustainable transformation is possible without extreme measures. She shared personal experiences with body dysmorphia and how running helped her cope with challenges in her first marriage and her mother's illness. Kyla explained that her motivation in bodybuilding comes from wanting her mother to have experienced the joy of fitness, as her mother was unable to participate due to health issues. Mother's Inspiration in Fitness Career Kyla shared how her late mother Darla inspired her fitness career, particularly after her mother's passing when Kyla became a group fitness instructor. She described how her mother's resilience during her final illness, including continuing to find joy despite severe pain and broken bones, motivated Kyla to push through her own challenges during marathon training. Kyla emphasized the importance of cherishing time with loved ones and not taking moments together for granted. Loss and Memory Preservation Discussion Celeste and Kyla discussed their experiences with loss and how they carry their loved ones' memories forward. Kyla shared how she connects with her mother and brother through meaningful symbols and experiences, including the significance of the number 444. They also discussed Kyla's role as a group fitness manager at a Lifetime gym in La Jolla, where she has developed strong connections with her long-standing class participants. The conversation ended with Celeste preparing to ask Kyla about challenges faced by women over 40, though this portion of the discussion was not included in the transcript segment provided. Women's Fitness Coaching Challenges Kyla discussed the challenges of coaching women on fitness journeys, particularly around redefining goals beyond just weight loss and addressing misconceptions about nutrition, especially for women over 40 who may have experienced the low-carb era. She emphasized the importance of accountability and long-term commitment in fitness coaching, noting that many clients need guidance to focus on sustainable practices rather than quick fixes. Kyla highlighted that while supplements and modern tools exist, they cannot replace the fundamentals of proper eating and training, and she stays focused on helping clients build consistent habits and maintain patience through the challenging process. Miss Utah's Fear Factor Experience Celeste interviewed Kyla, who shared her experience as Miss Utah 2004 and participating in a Miss U.S.A. edition of Fear Factor. Kyla described her challenging experience on the show, including a difficult ocean platform challenge that led to her being the first contestant eliminated. She provided advice for aspiring competitors, emphasizing the importance of getting a coach immediately and not underestimating the preparation time required. Kyla also shared insights for pro competitors, stressing the need for confidence and strong posing on stage. The conversation concluded with Kyla sharing her contact information for those interested in working with her as a coach or trainer.

Are your go-to health habits suddenly working against you? If you are in your 40s or beyond and wondering why everything you used to do no longer delivers results, this episode could change everything.Jenn Trepeck, host of Salad with a Side of Fries, sits down with registered holistic nutritionist and life coach Lara Frendjian to unpack why perimenopause symptoms demand a completely new approach to mornings, menopause weight loss, and daily metabolic health. Together, they explore how slow morning routines and smarter hormone balance strategies can transform energy, mood, and weight from the inside out.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why perimenopause symptoms can appear years before cycle changes, and how declining progesterone and erratic estrogen create a body that is more vulnerable to stress, weight gain, and hormone imbalance.✅ How a slow morning routine as brief as five minutes sends powerful signals to the nervous system, supporting circadian rhythm, reducing cortisol, and setting the tone for the entire day.✅ The surprising science behind caffeine and cortisol, including why delaying your first cup of coffee by at least 90 minutes can eliminate the afternoon energy crash and reduce dependence on stimulants.✅ Why fasted workouts may be doing more harm than good during perimenopause, and what a smarter pre-workout snack strategy looks like for protecting blood sugar stability and adrenal health.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Introduction to perimenopause symptoms and why habits that once worked no longer serve women in midlife04:53 Lara's background and her journey from accounting to holistic nutrition 10:03 How progesterone decline begins around age 35 and why the stress bucket overflows as hormones shift during midlife11:10 The thermostat analogy: how daily habits function as signals that shape hormone balance 15:18 What a slow morning routine actually looks like, why it does not need to take long, and the case for avoiding your phone first thing20:02 Why delaying caffeine and cortisol disruption by 90 minutes or more reduces reliance on stimulants 22:39 The power of a protein-forward breakfast, the front-load eating method, and how blood sugar stability drives fat loss without dieting28:10 Fasted workouts during perimenopause: the signs your exercise is too stressful and when lower intensity movement is the smarter choice31:32 Pre-workout snack strategy, the role of electrolytes and mineral balance, and how eating before movement supports cortisol regulation33:13 Evening habits that affect the next morning, the 12-hour overnight fast, and why the circadian rhythm and sleep window are inseparableKEY TAKEAWAYS:

Everyone remembers those iconic workout programs, but almost no one knows why they actually disappeared. In this episode, Chalene Johnson breaks down the truth behind popular fitness programs like Tae Bo, P90X, and Turbo Jam, the program she created, and what was really happening inside the fitness industry during the biggest home workout boom. From Tae Bo to P90X to Turbo Jam, these programs did not fail. They were designed to expire. And once you understand how the fitness industry really worked behind the scenes, you will never look at weight loss programs, before and after transformations, or 90 day challenges the same way again. This episode pulls back the curtain on the marketing, contracts, and consumer psychology that drove the cycle of quick fix workouts and repeat customers. It also reveals why so many top trainers ended up burned out, broke, or replaced, and why women kept losing and regaining the same weight over and over again. And yes, this insight comes from Chalene Johnson, who was not just observing it, she was building one of the biggest programs of that era with Turbo Jam. Check out this video on YouTube

Have you been eating less, working out more, and still can't seem to shed a single pound? I sat down with Dani Conway to explore why traditional dieting is actually working against your body. Dani overcame a 65-pound weight struggle and severe hormone dysfunction and now helps midlife women do the same.You'll discover why calorie restriction and intermittent fasting are two of the biggest fat-loss mistakes women over 40 make. Dani shares how decades of yo-yo dieting actually downregulate your metabolism, making conventional diets progressively less effective. She explains why fixing your gut and detoxification pathways should come before addressing hormones. We also cover why protein intake (at least 30–40g per meal) is non-negotiable for body recomposition and how resistance training paired with the right nutrition strategy is the true path to the lean, strong body most women are working so hard for. “Eating less to weigh less is not metabolic nutrition, but eating more to weigh less is metabolic nutrition.” Dani ConwaySupport the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566Resources:The Wellness Collective Community: https://nutritionthenaturalway.com/ Weight Loss Accelerator Program: https://nutritionthenaturalway.com/group-coaching-and-accountability/ About Dani ConwayDani Conway is a board-certified functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and the founder of The Fat Burn Formula for Women Over 40.

What does it really take to build a business from nothing… scale it to seven figures… sell it… and then have the courage to start all over again? In this powerful episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with powerhouse founder Lindsay Pinchuk—a woman who didn't just build a brand, she built a movement. After leaving corporate America, Lindsay bootstrapped Bump Club and Beyond from just $500 into a nationally recognized company reaching over 3 million women each month. Through community-first marketing, strategic partnerships, and relentless grit, she scaled the business across 30+ cities and worked with major brands like Target and Nordstrom—before successfully exiting through acquisition. But what came next might surprise you. Lindsay opens up about the emotional reality of selling her company, the challenges that followed, and how that experience led her to create Dear FoundHer—a thriving community helping women over 40 step into their next chapter with clarity, confidence, and powerful storytelling. This episode is about reinvention, resilience, and realizing it's never too late to build something meaningful.
At 84, Phyllis Mitzen is still reshaping how communities care for older adults — with curiosity, courage and a fierce commitment to action.Phyllis spent 24 years at CJE Senior Life (formerly Council on Jewish Elderly) and went on to consult with Health & Medicine Policy Research Group. She was proud to be awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from both Illinois and the National Association of Social Work. Phyllis serves on state and city Advisory Committees, and is currently active in the new Multi-Sector Plan on Aging, recognizing that without implementation its benefits will not be felt in Illinois. She reminds us that, equally important, the IL Dept on Aging, with 13 area agencies, depends on funding from the Older Americans Act. While it is reauthorized every 3 years, its funding is currently stalled with funding remaining at levels inadequate to meet growing needs. Phyllis' contribution to the Villages movement, specifically Skyline Village, has led to a consortium of 8 Villages in the Chicago Metro area. Many of these non-profit organizations have received Dementia Friendly designations, and are moving Chicago towards designation as a Dementia-Friendly city. These Dementia Friendly communities support, include, and empower people living with dementia, ensuring they can participate fully in social, cultural, and civic life. Why listen: Whether you work in aging services, advocate for policy change, or care for an aging loved one, Phyllis's practical wisdom, grassroots solutions, and insistence on turning plans into practice offer both inspiration and concrete next steps.“It's not the creation of the plan - it's the implementation that brings it alive.” - Phyllis MitzenCONNECT WITH PHYLLIS:Email: phyllis.mitzen@gmail.comAnd thank you to our sponsor, Women's Connection, a nonprofit women's group with chapters around the country.

Many things in life can negatively impact mental and physical health more than you realize — and it may not be what you think. We take a bold, honest look at fitness influencers, social media, and what that constant exposure to curated bodies, aesthetic-driven workouts, and “fitspiration” content is really doing to your confidence, your choices, and your results — especially in midlife and menopause. From the rise of fitness influencers to the research showing two-thirds of top posts lack scientific backing, we unpack the difference between influence and expertise — and why it matters for your body, your hormones, and your long-term health. Because what feels motivating in the moment may be the very thing that negatively impacts mental and physical health. If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!
