For The Health Of It with Juli Madacey Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, “Who is that woman staring back at me?!” If so, welcome to mid-life! To paraphrase the immortal Bette Davis, "Aging ain't for sissies!" It’s a time of life that gets a bad rap because of the many changes a woman’s body and mind go through, and the stigma that still goes along with it. And it’s all made worse by the conflicting information you read in the mainstream media. Once you add in all the social media pressure, and images of products and programs showing women over 40 sporting 6-pack abs and promises that you can achieve the same results with virtually no effort, it’s no wonder you stand and stare and wonder what the heck is happening. In this episode of For The Health of It, you’ll enjoy some real talk about what happens during the transitional years of perimenopause and postmenopause, what is normal, and what an aging body is supposed to look like (spoiler alert - it might not be what you think). Master Health Coach & Holistic Health Practitioner Juli Madacey is joined in this episode by special guest, Women’s Coaching Specialist Lisa Austin. These two coaches are on a mission to empower women over 40 to embrace their bodies, kick midlife in the ass, and reclaim their vitality. In this engaging conversation, they’ll help you better understand what happens with your body during these transitional years, and they’ll provide you with simple, effective strategies to help you navigate the uncharted waters of perimenopause and menopause with purpose, humour and self-compassion. Lisa Austin is a women’s coaching specialist and health advocate, dedicated to helping women embrace the beauty of aging during the transformative phase of menopause. With a background in coaching and over 10 years of experience in the health and fitness industry, Lisa empowers women to love themselves and their reflections. Having personally experienced the challenges of hormonal shifts and symptoms during her own menopausal journey, Lisa aims to normalize women’s experiences and provide support during this important stage of life. Lisa’s unique perspective comes from her recent ADHD diagnosis, which was magnified by the decline in estrogen. Sharing her insights, she helps women navigate the transition with greater ease. Her mission is to inspire women to celebrate who they are now and find happiness by embracing their current stage of life. Lisa believes that every woman is wonderful and deserving of self-acceptance. https://www.buildabodyyoulove.com/ ~ More About For The Health Of It with Juli Madacey ~ Juli Madacey is a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Master Health Coach, and Certified Personal Trainer who is on a mission to help women feel great in their bodies.
