Thriving In Midlife

If you are like most people, your goal in life is to be happy.  And contrary to what some believe, money is NOT the key to happiness.

So what is?  Research shows that one of the biggest factors to increase happiness is living a life of purpose. What does that mean?

What if you could…

• Stop living in the past and feel hopeful about the future?
• Take charge of your life instead of letting life happen to you?
• Know exactly why you’re here now and what you’re meant to do next?
• Own your value and contribution at this stage of your life?
• Wake up every morning excited to face the day?
• Show up with passion and confidence?

That’s how you feel when you know your life’s purpose. And research shows having a clear sense of purpose helps us live longer, healthier, more fulfilled lives.

That’s why I was excited to hear my friend and colleague, Midlife Empowerment Coach Hélène Stelian, is sharing her tested and proven Purpose Formula in her brand-new training

Proven Purpose Formula:
A Masterclass for Women 40+ Seeking Clarity and Direction in the Second Half

Save my seat! 

In this masterclass, you’ll discover…

• The one-word definition of purpose
• The five critical aspects of purpose, like… (Hint: We don’t “find” purpose)
• The step-by-step purpose formula that’s your ticket to clarity
• The exact steps to create your own purpose statement—and change your life!
• How to write your own purpose statement
• And much, much more!

Hélène is offering this masterclass live only on Saturday September 18, 2-3:30pm US Central time.

Don’t miss out! Sign up for Proven Purpose Formula: A Masterclass for Women 40+ Seeking Clarity and Direction in the Second Half.

Save my seat!  

Knowing your purpose is the first step toward creating a life of joy and fulfillment. You have a choice. You can keep living by default, or you can take a bold step into a life of purpose.

I hope you’ll let Hélène show you how!

Xo,

Tamara

I believe there are no coincidences and that God puts people in our lives for a reason. Nancy appeared in my season of downsizing & empty nesting to help me gain clarity and confidence to pursue my passions. She is just a little ahead of me on this journey and has already given me insights and faith that this stage of life can be everything I've imagined. We are kindred spirits -- seeking knowledge, experience and connection. You will be dazzled by her stories and her commitment to lifelong learning. If you are feeling wanderlust - you are not alone.

Be inspired. "It is only by following your deepest instinct that you can lead a rich life and if you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, then your life will be safe, expedient and thin."  -- Katherine Hathaway

Consider this prayer for abundance in 2021: "May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful. And, don't forget to make some art - write, draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And, I hope somewhere in your next year, you surprise yourself."  - Neil Caiman

Many moons ago, Thomas Edison said, "the doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and the cause and prevention of disease." More and more I see glimpses of this and it is gives me hope for a better future. I believe in complimentary medicine where we can combine the best of treatments for health and wellbeing. Whether you have optimal health or are struggling right now, every time you eat or drink, you have the opportunity to feed disease or fight it.

I take and share a product called Juice Plus+ because it offers me 30 different fruits, veggies and berries in a capsule or a gummy. I eat a lot of plants already, but cannot eat 9-13 servings in that variety on a consistent basis. Juice Plus+ helps to bridge the gap. I also love growing some of my own plants via the Tower Garden. It's aeroponic and super easy to grow leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and so much more right on my balcony. This year for the first time, I'll bring my tower inside and grow my garden with lights. 

Listen to Jan and I chat about the benefits of eating lots of plants and some of the studies Juice Plus+ has published on brain health and the immune system. Click on the link for summaries of the 40+ clinical research studies they've done so far. I absolutely love that this product -- it's real food and gets right into the cells of my body to help me stay healthy.

A healthy diet is essential for good health. What that looks like can vary over time, so it's really important to listen to your body and pivot when you notice changes in your health. Although I prefer to eat a plant-centric diet, I have never gone vegan for more than a 30 day stint. I tend to go in a direction 80-90% and then listen to my body for cues on what it wants and needs. Play around a bit and see what works for you. 

I love this quote by Ann Wigmore, "the food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.”

This special edition is for anyone looking to jump-start a gluten-free lifestyle and/or for those participating in the Shred 10 program. I have been eating gluten-free since 2015 and want to make the transition as easy as possible for anyone looking to give it a try. After you listen to this podcast, please let me know if you would like a copy of the Gluten-Free Challenge pdf that includes a great shopping list and more recipes. I also have a journal you might enjoy using for mindfulness and to document your food (in)tolerances. 

The Shred 10 is a program run by my Juice Plus+ partners. Participants are asked to think of 10 habits they would like to add, reduce or eliminate for 10 days. We always recommend eating gluten-free and dairy-free during this program in order to lower inflammation and to regulate ph balance. The goal is to eat real food in its whole form, to maximize your nutrient intake and stimulate your bodies natural cleansing process. While you're detoxing from foods, you might also consider how you are affected by other stressors in your life including the environment, personal care products, relationships, etc. 

My Shred 10 usually consists of the following habits: 

Add:

1. Drink 64 oz of plain water
2. Eat more plant and animal protein
3. Eat 1-2 smoothies per day
4. Retire to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual and with the goal of sleeping 8 hours per night

Reduce 

1. Alcohol (I give myself permission to have one (1/2 glass) of wine if I'm socializing with friends during my shred)
2. Screen time
3. Interaction with people who tempt me and/or test my patience

Eliminate

1. Gluten
2. Dairy
3. Breakfast (I use an eating window of 10:00 - 7:00)

If you would like to learn more about the Shred 10 program, please watch this short video. If you want a deeper understanding, also watch this video. If these videos inspire you to take action, please visit my Juice Plus+ website and then reach out to talk about next steps. I would be honored to support you along the way.

I've always has this strong desire to see the world - to eat among the locals, enjoy the scenery and soak in the culture. If that sounds like you, too, you will definitely want to connect with Kathryn. She's planned trips for individuals, couples and families. She has an amazing opportunity to see the Northern Lights in 2022 for Solo Travelers and she and I are making plans for a weekend getaway also in the new year.
