I'm challenging you to "take a break." Find something that you've kept doing this summer, maybe even while you have gone on vacation, and take a break from it.
I'm taking my own advice and, in this episode, I tell you why I have decided to take a break from the podcast for the rest of August and why you might also consider taking a break from something - even something that you love.
We also explore what comes up for us when we think about taking a break, those nagging little thoughts that have us believing we're not enough.
But I'm not in hiding. Have questions? Want to chat? Reach out - details below.
And GOOD NEWS, there are 54 other episodes you can go back and listen to over the next few weeks. This would be a great time to catch up on the back catalog.
And I'll see you in September.
I have a virtual bookclub! To stay up-to-date on future bookclubs, get on my mailing list or follow me on Facebook or LinkedIn.

Do you ever listen to a podcast and think that the podcaster was speaking right to you?
That's how I felt when I listened to a recent episode of Making Midlife Magic with Rachel Baum.
Her episode, titled "A love note to the exhausted," spoke right to me and I asked her if I could share it with you.

In this episode, Allison shares with us simple and actionable steps that we can take to keep our brains healthy as we age.
In this episode we talk about:

When you want something out of someone else, do you criticize them and tell them that they are wrong? Do you make sure that your tone is conveying disapproval? That they should be ashamed?
Hopefully you answered that with a resounding "no."
And why not? We know that our peers, our colleagues, our friends, our spouses and loved ones don't actually respond well to being shamed. That isn't the way that we "get" the behavior that we want from them. When we are at our best, we try to put ourselves in their shoes and understand why they are doing what they are doing and we make a request, kindly, from one adult to another.
Ideally.
Of course sometimes we pop off. And we generally don't get the response that we are looking for.
But what about with ourselves?
When you are trying to get something from yourself are you critical? Do you make sure that you point out that you are wrong? Do you talk to yourself with a disapproving tone or one that is full of disdain?
How is that working out for you?
What if you treated yourself like you would a good friend?
On this episode, we'll talk about why "making yourself wrong" isn't necessary for you to make a change that you desire and why it actually gets in the way.

Often when we feel uncomfortable in some way - restless, down, frustrated - we think that something is wrong that needs to be "fixed" so we won't feel that way anymore.
But what if that uncomfortable feeling is an indicator that we are growing and changing?
On this episode, we'll learn a bit about how lobsters grow inside their hard shells and where there may be parallels for us.
We'll also explore how to treat ourselves when we are in these times of vulnerability and growth.

This week I'm sharing an unpopular opinion.
I've gotten tired of seeing posts on social media knocking self-care strategies as a way to address burnout.
You know what I'm talking about, the posts that say that you can't "cure burnout" with a massage, or a yoga class, or a bath. The posts that refer to these things as "faux self-care."
And I get what they are trying to say, but I think what the people who post this type of thing forget is that that massage, that yoga class, or that bath might be how someone who is suffering with burnout first gets some relief.
And I want to be sure that we don't close the front door for anyone who is looking for a way to feel better by telling them that there is a better way to feel better - it's just going to take them a bit longer, be a bit more involved, and require a higher level of commitment from them.
Join me on this episode to hear more about why I think so-called "faux self-care" strategies might be an easy way in for someone who is learning how to take care of themselves.

Do you ever notice that you are holding your breath for no reason at all?
Maybe when you are focusing on a task?
Maybe when you are apprehensive or waiting for something?
Holding your breath can contribute to increasing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and burnout - none of which set us up to think about what we want for the second half of our lives.
On this episode we'll talk about how to notice whether you are holding your breath, why it matters, and a couple of easy strategies to - literally - take a breath.

What does it really take to find the love of your life after 40?
In this episode of Not Your Mama's Midlife Podcast, I interview Renée Suzanne, a life coach who helps women over 40 start dating better men immediately so they can meet and marry the man of their dreams.
Many of my listeners are looking for a romantic relationship to enjoy in the second half of their lives. Renée tells us that finding love is just not actually all that complicated. Love isn't something that happens to you, it's something you create.
Renée gives women practical, actionable strategies to pick the right men to date, how to filter out prospects who are up to no good, and how to keep themselves safe from scammers and catfishing.
She also tells you what to expect if you've been out of the dating pool for a couple of decades and what it takes to be successful in online dating. And Renée reminds us that effortless conversation doesn't come naturally but being friendly is a skill that you can practice.
Renée offered listeners of the podcast a free gift - A brief training to help you write an online dating profile that will get you noticed by the right men. Access it here.
You can find more of Renée:

Did you know that you can "declutter" your mind in the same way that you would declutter your closet?
On default, our brains are a jumble of thoughts that we've collected over time.
But like we would with a closet full of clothes, we can sort through our thoughts and stories and identify the ones that serve us - the ones that support us in showing up as the person we wish to be and further our goals. And by recognizing the thoughts that don't serve us, we can begin to let them go.
Would you like some support cleaning out the stories that you are carrying around with you? Schedule a discovery call with me and let's talk about how we can do this work together.
Does cleaning out the closet of your mind feel like just one more thing to add to an overwhelming to do list? You should watch by online webinar Create Your Own Plan to Tackle Burnout. This one-hour webinar will provide you with practical, easy-to-implement strategies, to reduce burnout so that you can begin to see your life more clearly.
