I became a wellness coach to help people navigate their wellbeing which is not just losing weight but total wellness. What I do not do is therapy. We are trained to recognize when coaching is moving in to the client needing therapy and when to refer them to a therapist. Just recently, I had to coach myself and realize that I needed something more than the training I have gotten.

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, but it can be a challenging experience that affects not only women but also their partners.

This week I met up with a dear friend whom I have not seen in over a year. Her life and my life got in the way of our normal 2 hour lunches and we just didn’t connect.

During menopause, a woman's body undergoes many changes, including a decrease in the production of estrogen, which can affect various parts of the body, including the brain.

As mothers, it is essential to educate our daughters about this inevitable stage of life and help them understand what it means for them and their bodies. I was not given much information from my mother about menopause and her menopause journey and it really made an impact on my own journey.

The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating that is based on the traditional dietary patterns of people living in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats, such as olive oil and fatty fish.

Another trip around the sun!

Exercise durning perimenopause and after menopause offers seasoned women various benefits for optimal well-being.

It is summer time and what better way to take some time away from the stress and busyness of our daily lives. I am taking some time to go on a mission trip to Israel with my church to renew my spirit as we minister to the people of Akko (Acre), Israel.

Isn’t it funny how we get that first good warm sunny day and think about getting ourselves “summer” ready? Summer ready means different things to different people but the common thread about getting ready is how we are going to look in our bathing suit, shorts, and sleeveless tops or dresses.

One of the things that my sister and I are experiencing that so many women and men experience is taking care of aged parents. In some cultures, it is a normal thing for the younger generation to naturally take care of their elders.

This is the time in our lives that we get to choose if what we have always done is still right for us.
