Description

Interested in making your midlife years amazing but not feeling your best and that perhaps, menopause has not been necessarily kind?  Do you want to get focused on setting realistic fitness goals, refining your nutrition, and improving your overall physical and mental well-being, but don't know where to start?

Tune in to celebrate this time of our lives with honesty, wisdom, and humor, because no one said we have to go quietly into this chapter.
