Last year my friend Lindsay de Swart and I sat down for a Fireside Chat episode where we took a look forward into where we might be in a year. Lindsay never would have realistically guessed what her year might look like. She took a deep dive into  her life, her marriage, and everything that was affected by those and turned her world upside down.

When her family's future was at a fork in the road, she chose to take the road less traveled, but the one she knew she HAD to take.  She knew she needed to face her fear and set new boundaries while utilizing self-care to get her through it.

I know that we will all be touched in some way by her story. Facing fear. Having to put ourselves first sometimes. Having to upset the apple cart of others and the guilt over that. Knowing and accepting that change needs to happen. Admitting that things aren't perfect and owning that.  Beating back all the judgement and guilt  from herself and others and then and relying outside help to get her through when she couldnl't do it herself.

I think when we face all of these things, we find out who we truly are and what we are truly capable of. My friend Lindsay is one of the strongest women that I know. I guarantee all of you are the second strongest women that I know. As  Glennon Doyle says, We Can Do Hard Things, especially when we know that we will be lost if we don’t.

If you find also find yourself in a place where big change needs to happen before you are lost, know that change and making big pivots takes time and sacrifice. But it’s important to make that investment. I may not know you personally, but I know you. You are worth it and you deserve it.

 Thanks for listening today. If you have enjoyed today’s episode – make sure to share it with a friend and FOLLOW the show on Apple podcasts or wherever you listening so that future episodes will show up in your podcast library.

And go to the show page and make sure to RATE and REVIEW this episode! Find Lindsay on her show MAGICAL MIDLIFE and send her some love as well. I know she would LOVE to hear from you. AND she has a private Facebook group where she is leading women in meditation and holding wonderful conversation. So find her there as well.

BLACK FRIDAY and CYBER MONDAY are HERE! It's a weekend to crack open the start of gift buying. Now, if you are like me, the first gift I buy is for me. It's a special kind of self-care. And I've got a great thing for you this weekend - whether it is for you or for someone else.

My 2022 creation of the You Deserve It Notebook: Goal Tracker, Planner, and Journal is available at Amazon for under $20. Amazon is still getting their cut (of course), but I am foregoing most of any profit to make sure this notebook gets into your hands. I am convinced that it will really help keep you on track for any goals and intentions that you have for 2023. It is a great way to begin to build consistency of self-care.

My friend Heather McMahon, host of the Creating You podcast had me on her show a few weeks ago and gave me the opportunity to talk about the notebook, about its creation, and about how it can help you plan out your exciting next chapter. And then she shared the episode with me so that I could share it with you. That's what friends are for.

Many Thanks to Heather for having me. Happy Shopping!

There is nothing worse than building a healthy workout habit and starting to see results when travel happens or the holidays come. We worry about not having the opportunity to get our workouts in or about what will happen if we take a couple of days off. 

First of all - you totally have permission to take a couple of days away from your workout routine to spend time with family. Your fitness will not suffer. But if you will be away for longer and or just want some ideas to get some movement in while traveling, I've got them for you today.

It may take a little research, planning, and preparation on your part, but it is totally doable and could even be different and fun, especially if you can get the whole family involved.

I am wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. Make sure to keep this episode close if you are also traveling over Christmas and New Year. 

And I definitely hope that you would like to grab one of the Midlife Health KickStarter Calls.  This is a 1:1 zoom call with me where we talk about where you are in your nutrition and fitness and what 30 day health goal you would like to set and accomplish. We’ll develop a plan for you to get you on the path to reaching that goal. And you’ll start 2023 already in motion instead of just trying to get started.

If you would like to work with me, email me at hello@lesleylmcshane.com and I will send you a link to get scheduled.

Make sure to scroll on down and give this episode a 5-star rating and don't forget to FOLLOW the show. That way all new episodes will drop right into your podcast library.

Do you really think that you are too old to exercise or is it just an excuse? Well, you aren't - you are never too old - and it's time to get up from your desk, your couch, the kitchen table,  and get moving.

The list of benefits of exercise, especially exercise in midlife, is as long as my arm! It contains everything from preventing heart disease to having better sex. THAT'S RIGHT! Your sex life benefits from you getting your exercise. Don't believe me, then you'd better listen in.

Don't know where to start? Then you need to email me so that we can chat and I can put you on a path. Sometimes that's all we need - just someone to point us in the right direction. And I've got you on that.

Email me here:
hello@lesleylmcshane.com

I will send you all the info. But hurry! I only have a couple more spots left in November and December!

Till next time!

Author Nicole Kalil, bringing her new book “Validation is for Parking - How Women Can Beat The Confidence Con” is with me today for the very important discussion about confidence - and how the confidence that we portray outwardly doesn't necessarily match up to how we feel inside.

Nicole's story is a cautionary tale and one that a lot of us have experienced and faced. We appear and "act" very confident on the outside, but inside we are hiding and afraid of being "found out". We may even be in such a dark place because of our lack of authenticity that we don't know how we will ever escape.

The beauty of it is that Nicole is here to help with all the ways we can shed that fear and begin to build confidence where it is most important - INSIDE of us. She is spilling the whys, whats, and the hows of confidence, our lack of it, and how we build it.

It's important to remember that confidence and trust in ourselves is a continual journey. Not a final place to arrive. Make sure to find Nicole at all of the following to join her on a confidence journey.

Tracking your food in a nutrition tracker or food journal is really the very first step in putting your health in good view. Taking care of your health really does start with your relationship with food, or the kitchen as I say. And when you are armed with all of your individual nutrition facts, you are able to define or redefine that relationship.

Is your goal midlife weight loss? Do you just want to get a handle on what your numbers actually are? Then keeping this information is going to be so key for you.

As always, if you have a serious concern, please consult a nutritionist or your physician, but I have some general rules of thumb when starting here. This is your starting place to get serious on the health goals that you may have for today, for the rest of this year, for 2023, or for the rest of your life.

I hope you get one little nugget out of this episode and if so, make sure to RATE or REVIEW this podcast. And especially do that if you roll on down to get a link to my own personal nutrition tracker, which is HERE:

It is so important to take aging and longevity into our own hands, especially when there are things that you can do through exercise and lifestyle change to improve. One of them is your posture. We start out being told by our parents to stand or sit up straight and then we fall off the wagon ourselves as we age. The poor posture we adopt or develop over time has severe consequences in cognitive decline.

Chiropractor Dr. Rodney Wirth and his wife and Longevity Coach Karen Wirth are with me today to talk about posture, what bad posture does to our aging and cognitive decline, and what we can do ourselves to begin posture correction to reverse this cognitive decline (YES, that is possible).

Listen in as Karen gives us 5 ways to prevent cognitive decline with improved posture.

Make sure to follow Karen and Dr. Rodney on their podcast STANCE for HEALTH and on Karen's solo podcast HOPE IS POWERFUL. Together they are given out such amazing content on ways to increase your longevity with simple things you can educate yourself on.

The word "midlife" has grown to have such a negative connotation instead of being associated with the freedom that it actually holds. My guest today, Licensed Counselor and host of the Creating You podcast, Heather McMahon even wonders what is midlife anyway? No one can determine when their midlife is. Think about that for a minute.

What we need to remember is that we hold the power to turn any kind of midlife crisis into a midlife adventure. All we need are some midlife paradigm shifts. But it starts with going deep to find out what is holding you back.

Today to touch on:

1. Things to look forward to in midlife
2. How to take back the power
3. Your internal messaging
4. Going deeper
5. Dealing with negative thoughts
6. Keeping your word to yourself
7. Figuring out you
8. Developmental shifts
9. Checking in with yourself

Thank you for listening today - please make sure to scroll down and RATE and REVIEW this podcast and share with someone. It all means so much.

You need to put this one accountability factor into play to make sure you follow through on the weekend. Do this thing and go kill it this weekend in your workout.

• The #1 thing we can do to lose belly fat

Mike Purvis has been working on some of my back and hamstring issues for years. You would think that these issues would have come from some of the sports that I'm involved in, but NO - both have to do with my posture when I'm sitting at my desk or while I'm driving.

I read an article recently about how desk chairs are doing immeasurable damage to all us that sit in them all day, at least 5 days a week. When I went to see Mike about some of these issues and asked him to talk to us about it on the podcast, he agreed.

Today's Takeaways:
1. Finding a good massage therapist depends on what you need a massage for. Each has a specialty. It’s like finding a doctor. You don’t want to go to a therapist that specializes in 20 different kinds of massage, that’s like going to a GP to have her deliver your baby.
2. Everything that we are doing is in front of us - and we are in that forward position for hours on end. We need to think about getting up every now and then to stretch backwards - to stretch that peck out - stretch that chest to help us not be caved forward where we end up walking like turtles.
3. There is no better time than now to start making some little changes to your posture while sitting. Everything has to be accounted for - upper body and lower body.
4. Even though you may be working at home and not at a “desk” per se, it’s not really about the surface you are working on, it’s about the height of the chair and the angle of your arms so that you’re not driving your shoulders into your ears.
5. Get a good desk chair to start with. If you get up out of your chair and can see that your body is still sitting there, it’s probably time for a new one.
6. You more than likely sit at your desk more than you sleep, but we’ll all invest in a good mattress before investing in a good desk chair. 
7. Do not cross your legs when sitting. It causes one hip to be elevated which can cause a leg discrepancy. Leg discrepancies are problem in your basement, in your foundation, that affects all the floors of your body.
8. We all need to do a posture analysis. Do you drive leaned to the right? Do you carry a heavy bag on one shoulder every day?
9. The best stretches to do in your desk chair are Ts and Ys. Make a T with your arms then make a Y with your arms.
10. Put something up under your feet at the desk. Change your foot position. That changes your hip angle during the day. It lets your hamstrings and calves open up.
11. Using an external monitor instead of looking down at your laptop screen can help your neck and the phenomenon of “phone neck”.
12. We (as in our bodies) are the only machines that we ignore the check engine lights every single day. Taking care of yourself doesn’t take hours - it’s where can you
