There is one thing that I think traps women more
than any other single influence. It's diet culture.
This whole skinny talk BS. I was an overweight
kid. So for me, looking at those magazines, I
felt like I wasn't good enough. It is not about
doing too much necessarily, because we are high
functioning women. It's about doing too much
of the wrong things. Muscle is not about vanity.
It's not about weight. It's about longevity.
and health. Your 40s has to be the no f***s given
decade. It has to be. If it's not a hell yes,
it's a no. Which of these fixes do you need to
prioritize right now? Is it body? Is it mind?
Is it life? So I want to know. What's your 40s
formula? Oh my god, we have asked that question
99 times before. And today marks episode 100.
Can you even believe it? Honestly, it feels like
we've just started, but it also feels like we've
lived a thousand lives through this conversation.
So today we are going to be flipping the script.
We are. And instead of having a guest, we are
answering the question for you. We have combed
through every single episode, every expert insight,
every aha moment from the last two years. And
we've distilled it into the ultimate guide, the
cheat sheet to end all cheat sheets. Welcome
to the 40s formula. Before we get going, please

So please click that follow button. You know,
when we started this podcast, we wanted to redefine
what this decade actually meant. We wanted to
move away from the crisis narrative and move
into the opportunity narrative. Exactly. And
looking back at the data, because you know we
love the data, themes started to emerge. It's
not just random advice. It's a cohesive roadmap
to your 40s. We realized that to truly thrive
now, you need to address three specific pillars.
You can't just fix one and ignore the others.
Right. So today, we are breaking this episode
down into the body fix, the mind fix. and the
life fix. Look, this wisdom didn't just come
out of thin air. It came from incredible doctors,
psychologists, nutritionists and women who have
sat in that chair. So grab a notebook. Seriously,
go get a pen and paper because we are about to
give you the condensed wisdom of 100 hours of
conversations. Are you ready to unlock the ultimate
formula? So I think we should start with our
favorite topic, which is the body fix. What do
you think, Amanda? Honestly, if I could sum it
up. It is about muscle. It's really about muscle.
And muscle is not about vanity. It's not about
weight. It's about longevity. health. I mean
it can be a little bit about vanity right? I
mean I'm the first one to put my muscles out
okay when the when the energy demands but what
I will say is it's so much more about what muscle
does for us as aging women it's where we can
store glucose right so that protects our glucose
metabolism prevents diabetes it's where we get
our functional strength right a lot of times
women are confused about why they can't do certain
things anymore and the answer lies in you don't
have the muscles for that. You didn't develop
that strength earlier in life and it don't come
for free. That's the thing, isn't it? And we've
had so many specialists talk about this. We had
Laura Phillips talk about how important muscle
is. We've had Dr. Jean Ng talk about it. And
I feel like it always gets put on the backseat
when you're in your forties, because you think
that you need to be skinny and you need to lose
weight and you need to fit this particular mold
that we have been fighting against since... our
teenage years. And if there is one thing that
I think traps women more than any other single
influence, it's diet culture. This whole skinny
talk BS. Again, we didn't have skinny talk growing
up, but we had magazines, we had Kate Moss telling
us that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
And that shit is the problem. Totally, totally.
And you know what? I was an overweight kid. So
for me looking at those magazines and looking
at all the women on TV I you know I felt it I
felt like I wasn't good enough and the problem
was was that message about being skinny was then
tied to the way I valued myself. And it's not
just me. And I know there's so many women out
there. And then when these feelings get deeply
ingrained, it becomes so much harder to remove
them. So no matter how much you try not to step
on the scale and not see what the weight is and
not to, you know, not eat that second piece of
pizza or whatever it is. It's hard. It's hard.
It's really hard. When that's your background,
that has to be like a constant challenge, right?
Because we don't just shed the women that we
were before, right? But the good news about being
in our 40s is that we can take all these identities
and start to synthesize into who we want to be.
And I am such a believer. And again, Laura Phillips
episode was such a great reminder that strength
training. is the path to how we reconcile those
identities. It's the way that we emerge and shed
these beliefs that smaller is better, shrinking
is the only way, we should be lighter, and embrace
that muscles are power. That feeling strong is
so much better than feeling weak. Right? I always
say in my clinic that we should be the heaviest
version of our healthy weight. Right? I think
that's brilliant. The most muscle you can get,
put it on. 100%. And you know, when we think
about it, we... don't wanna go through life now.
We're at our 40s. We are edging closer to that
half century. We're edging closer, unfortunately,
to the other side. You know, when you're in your
20s, your 30s, you're not really thinking about
mortality. You're not thinking about any of that
stuff. You're probably just thinking about, you
know, how you look and all of, you know, those.
fun things, don't know if that's fun, but anyway.
Getting attention from partners, right? Looking
good in your dresses. We were all there. Yeah,
but when you hit your 40s, now you're thinking
about, right, what is the meaning of life? You
know, what is happening? Your body is changing,
everything is changing. So then your training,
your eating, everything that you're doing needs
to change to support you through the next 40
years, if that's where you want to get to or
more. And you can't build that body that supports
you without the bricks. Yes. You need the nutrition
and you need the strength training. Right. There
are two things that produce muscles. And Laura
reminded us that two grams per kg of body weight
of protein per day is an optimal level for most
women, especially those that are training to
build muscles. Hundred percent. And I think a
lot of women are under eating protein. You know,
one of the things I get when I speak to clients
is I don't like meat. I don't like eat to eat
chicken or I don't like to eat this or it's too
heavy for me. The food just doesn't feel right.
I get too stuffed. I get bloated. But the truth
of the matter is, is you don't need it to come
from just a meat source. you just need to hit
those amino acid requirements. That's right.
You need to get all of your essential amino acids
into your plate, however those combinations look.
And I hear that too from women, that, you know,
portions, large portions of meat are hard to
get down. But what I will say is be creative.
Yeah. Be creative with the ways you mix and match
your proteins. And that's one of the reasons
that I love that the Meat Club has been the sponsor
of this show since day one. Because the Meat
Club is all about getting diverse animal and
plant protein. onto your plate in the easiest
way possible. Honestly, that subscription service
has really saved me. I love that I will just
sit back, chill. I've set my subscription and
then every two weeks there's a delivery and it's
got a vast array of fruit, vegetables, protein,
everything that I need and I don't need to think
about it. And that's such a big thing. It's such
a big dilemma that women have when they're in
their forties is the time and the energy to go
out and Think about what are we cooking? What
are we making? How do I get that protein onto
my plate? The answer is simplify the system.
So I definitely encourage any listeners that
have not tried the meat club yet to get on that.
You get $20 off your first order with code TFF20.
And again, if you are a busy mom like us, you
will not regret it. So when you're in your forties,
one of the other significant changes that we
see are the hormones, and that doesn't necessarily
mean that they're falling off a cliff, which
they could be. Yeah, which they probably will
be, eventually. But you know what you will notice
is they're fluctuating like fucking crazy. They
are going absolutely insane during this period.
And that's why we really need to talk about this
because this is something that is really important
for women to understand when they're in their
40s. We had functional nutritionist Jo Brando
on the show and she was talking about how your
hormones are the messenger and your symptoms
are the message. I love that. And I remember
we also had Leila White on the show who is a
banging 58 year old post menopausal woman talking
about exactly how she navigated the difficulty
in managing her hormones. with strength training
through her menopausal transition. So I think,
you know, hormones get kind of a bad rap for
something that's always working against us in
our forties. But in fact, estrogen is one of
our most protective hormones. We want to promote
estrogen. We want to, you know, keep our estrogen
as high as possible to the sense that it will
help us maintain our bone and muscle and gut
health, you know, through this transition. And
one of the other things that we hear a lot about
is women talking about how they went for a hormonal
checkup and everything seemed normal, but yet
they... still feel like shit. Now the truth of
the matter is, ladies, if you're in your forties
and things are not quite right, that hormone
checkup that you had at that time was just a
snapshot in time. It could have been that that
day your hormones were perfectly fine or they
were super high, which made it look like, you
know, you're very fertile. But you need to go
and speak to a doctor who is going to listen
to you. They're going to have that conversation
with you and they're going to look at the full
picture. They're going to talk about your symptoms.
They're going to talk about, you know, how you're
feeling day in, day out and how things are changing.
And it's not just because the hormones are going
to give you hot flashes or bad sleep. They are
going to... Affect how you show up in your life.
That's right And I think you know you just mentioned
sleep and it's one of these things where a lot
of times Hormones take the blame for other lifestyle
factors that might not be quite in alignment
So I would encourage women that obviously are
looking for help through perimenopause to also
take a pause Yes, and consider their sleep their
alcohol intake their exercise and their overall
nutritional profile These things also have to
be in order for you to really know kind of is
the hormone the issue. Also, stress. Stress throws
our hormones out of whack. So that's not something
that you can perceive that it's only stress.
Well, stress is related to the hormone response.
So finding ways to develop resilience around
stress is also gonna help you get through it.
And that's something that Dr. Sunda Sussane brought
up. Dr. Sunda Sussane Morgan, she spoke about
how your lifestyle can really impact how you
navigate the whole perimenopause. journey and
it's important that you have these factors in
place like Amanda said sleep, stress reduction,
nutrition, exercise and it doesn't mean that
you have to go out all hard, you know, and do
everything. But if you can dial in these levers,
they will definitely help you through this transition.
Yeah. And I think that's a strong message for
women who are high achieving, high performing,
overbooked and overwhelmed, that it's not about
adding more shit onto your plate. It's about
refining your approach to laser focus and dial
in what matters. 100%. Which actually brings
us to our next point, the mind fix. I think when
it comes to busy women, midlife burnout is so
common among us. And it is not about doing too
much, necessarily, because we are high -functioning
women. It's about doing too much of the wrong
things. 100%. And that brings me to what Marissa
Nasutian said. She said, if it's not a hell yes,
it's a no. Oh my god, I love it. And I think...
Boundaries is something that we really struggle
with, but we really need to focus on. Women in
their 40s have grown up, I guess, people pleasing
and saying yes to everything. But if you're not
feeling it, you know, it's really going to push
you. It's going to push you in the wrong direction.
And that echoes something that Penny Lacaso taught
us on the show, when she was saying, we wear
busy like it's a badge of honor. And busy needs
a rebrand. I think she said... We need better
words to describe our situation. 100%. I think
she referred to busy as busy equals bullshit.
I love it. It's like busy is when you say that
you don't want to do something. Yeah. That's
it. It's an excuse. It's an excuse. And I think
I made, I did at the time, make a really conscious
effort not to say busy. So if somebody asked
me, how was your day? It wasn't that, oh, it
was busy. I really tried my best. I think I need
to go back into it now because it's really hard.
I have started slipping back into busy myself.
I know. But it's really hard to not just say
busy. Yeah. Do you know my rebrand? What's your
rebrand? Fully booked. Oh. Fully booked. I use
it in reference to the clinic. I use it in reference
to my speaking engagements. I use it in reference
to my kids. and the podcast and of course the
podcast we are always fully booked over here
real talk but yeah fully booked is the one that
i've been using and i love it i'm gonna steal
that from you suits me i love it so mandy you
know i've been on this journey about improving
my sleep oh you have been obsessed about it lately
well i have found something that has been incredible
cozy earth bed sheets that's saying a lot because
you are really picky about your sleep setup exactly
these sheets are made from bamboo viscose they
are naturally breathable and I get the perfect
night's sleep. They keep me cool all night. Oh,
and I've been eyeing the pajamas too. They are
so chic and super cozy. It's a total game changer
and so relaxing for the evenings. And what's
crazy is that Cozy Earth actually ships to Singapore,
orders over $560 ship free, and in the US orders
over $50 ship free. And did you know you can
get your biggest ever discount 41 % if you use
code TFF today. So head over to CozyEarth .com
and use that code TFF today. of work -life balance
or just balance generally, right? When we're
passionate about something, it's only natural
that our life is going to shift out of balance
toward that in that moment, right? What's important
though is if we do step back from our lives and
we are examining our different roles as mom,
caretaker, professional, whatever, that we can
at least see harmony in that. I think establishing
a life that feels harmonious and purposeful.
is a better way to think about balance. Yeah,
because like Amy said, if you try to do everything,
you're going to feel like you're failing at everything.
That's right. You know, you can't be an amazing
mom, an amazing worker, an amazing employee,
an amazing employer all at the same time. You
just can't do it. It's impossible. It's impossible.
And that mom guilt is real. It absolutely is
I always think of like this is very a very lame
analogy I think maybe dr. Gene is the only one
who will love this but in CrossFit There's kind
of this like trapezoid not trapezoid like pentagon
of skills. Okay, and it's like gymnastics strength
You know Olympic lifting and it's like you're
you map yourself as an athlete like where your
strengths and weaknesses I think we could use
that as busy women, right? So it's like map out
all your different roles and then kind of shade
in how much effort and time you're putting into
those, and then see where those deficiencies
are. And if that's something that you want to
correct, then it means you're probably gonna
need to pull back a little bit from, you know,
in the CrossFit example, training in those areas,
right? You got gymnastics on lock. Maybe you
focus a bit more on weightlifting technique.
That's okay. Yeah, totally. And I think that's
the other thing that people think of is they
feel like everything is a balance of plates,
all in one go. And it doesn't have to be like
that. If you look at it more like a dial, you
know, If your work is going up, maybe your family
life needs to come down a bit, or if your family
life is more important, then you turn up that
dial, bring back the work, and maybe your sleep
is gonna get affected. So everything is more
of a dial than it is an on -off switch. An on
-off switch, exactly that. A dimmer. I think
that seems to work better, doesn't it? Another
dimmer switch. And I think one of the things
that Xiao Niu said to us on the show was that
depression lives in the past. anxiety lives in
the future, but peace is in the present. And
I think that was so profound. You know, like,
if you are living in the moment, if you are living
right now, that's the point where you will find
peace. Yeah. And Sha 'an is such an inspiring
guest. I encourage everyone listening to go check
out her episode. She is a happiness scientist.
Yes! Right? So she's not making up shit. She's
actually talking real talk. And I think one of
her most... interesting ideas is that the opposite
of depression is not happiness. Yes. The opposite
of depression is expression. Oh, yes. I love
that. That was just such a powerful thing to
say. And I never looked at it like that before.
No, because you think, oh, if I was only happier,
I wouldn't feel this depression. More like if
I was only purposeful, if I was only creating,
if I was only building something. And I think
that's why a lot of moms, particularly when their
kids are grown and kind of getting into that
empty nester phase, have this real crisis in
their happiness because they are not producing,
creating, doing something that they have done
in terms of raising their children for the past
18 years. And that's a side of our 40s that we
need to explore. And I think that's the perfect
time to then express yourself and find out who
you truly are. Yes. It's an opportunity. It's
definitely an opportunity. And I think that's
what we need to look at is where can we take
these moments when we're feeling down, when we're
feeling low, what can we do to actually express
who we are? And that's something that Chrissy
Chew also brought up about rewriting your own
script. and flipping it and being the director
of your own life. Oh, I love that. Being the
star actor in your story, right? Yeah. I mean,
I think Mimi Nicklin is someone who's so good.
at doing this. She was on our show talking about
how we connect and how we have empathy. And I
think connection and empathy are how we climb
out of the hole of depression, self -obsession,
whatever it may be, right? Yeah, it's all well
and good to be directing your own life. And I
definitely encourage that. But if you are still
lonely in that life, if it's still feeling like,
you know, you're the only one in that movie,
I think the other actors come to play a real
role. connection is actually part of one of the
lifestyle pillars as well. You know, you need
to have that tribe with you. And it doesn't have
to be your immediate family. It could be a group
of friends. It could be someone that you can
confide in, but you need to have someone who
makes you feel that there is that deep level
of connection. Yeah. Again, the way out of loneliness
is connection. Just that one person who really
gets you. I think that goes a long way again,
especially in your 40s. And I think it's also
important to look at that. It doesn't have to
be your husband. You know, your husband can't
be... everything to you. And I think some women
get stuck in this mode where they find that,
you know, my husband, it needs to be my friend,
my partner, my confidant, whatever it is. But
you can have different people doing different
things. And it's okay. And can I be like, again,
you know, you're your resident feminist here.
Please do. Your husband definitely cannot be
all the things because you need women to be some
of the things. Yes. Right. We've got International
Women's Day coming up and it is. a powerful reminder
every year that it is groups of women that can
really make change. And when we do anchor our
tribe in at least one woman, our woman, many
women, our daughters, you know, this is something
that transcends potentially what even your husband,
your partner cannot feel. And I love that because
this is why we wanted to create the 40s formula
community, because there are women out there
who are in their 40s just like us. who are struggling
because they can't cope with what's going on.
And, you know, we want to build that tribe and
let you know that there is definitely something
you can do. Yeah. And we elevate women's voices
in expertise to help you get through that. Can
we talk about how no one prepares you for how
your skin changes in your 40s? Honestly, one
day it's fine, the next it's dull, dry and showing
every single emotion you've ever felt. That's
why I've actually been loving Love Indus. Their
skincare actually feels like it's doing something.
It's not just sitting on your face and looking
sticky. It blends South Asian ingredients like
ashwagandha and vegan ghee with proper New York
dermatology tech. It's luxurious but also very
results driven. Their line limiter is especially
good if you're starting, like me, to notice lip
or laugh lines. People compare it to Botox, which
I would happily take after all those needles
in my face. And our listeners get the highest
discount they offer, 21 % off with code TFF at
loveindice .com. Plus, they ship free to Singapore,
which seems like a very rare little treat. And
yes, we earn commission when you use our code,
so don't forget to support the show by using
code TFF. So talking about communities, a big
community which I think is incredible is Amelia
Bailey's happy girl movement. Oh hashtag happy
girl walk. Oh she has created such an amazing
community and out of a time that was so dark
for her. Yeah this is someone who you know obviously
took the message that movement is medicine but
applied that to her mental health. Yes. Right
she started with just the smallest idea. that
walking every day might change something for
her, might get her out of that hole. And she
emphasized that the walk wasn't about exercise.
It was an anchor for her sanity. And I think
that's so important. You know, it's such a simple
thing to do. You don't require any special training.
You don't need any special equipment. You just
have to put on your shoes. And in fact, you don't
even have to put shoes on. You can just go outside
or inside wherever is convenient for you and
just take a few steps and you can build it up.
It doesn't mean you have to go out to your 10k
walk, 10k steps in one go. It could just be whatever
is comfortable for you when you start and then
build upon it. Yeah, action creates motivation.
We always think that motivation precedes action.
And I can tell you, in 20 years of doing this
work, it is rarely that way, right? Every now
and then, yes, we have a wedding, right? So we
want to get into our wedding dress and look our
best, blah, blah, blah. That's a motivation.
But rarely does life give you those opportunities.
And rarely does life give you those opportunities
in a way that is lasting. Yeah. Action. is what
creates motivation in the end. And motivation,
which I don't love, you know how I feel about
motivation, I prefer discipline much more, but
doing actions consistently, then anchors an identity.
100%. And the more you do it, the more it feels
like you have to keep going. That's it. In a
good way in a good way. Yeah, it doesn't have
to be a bad thing. It's not oh my god I've missed
my walk now. Everything's gonna fall apart No,
but you do what you can when you can and I think
that's a really important message Yeah, and back
to Marissa, you know in her episode she really
emphasized that everything is temporary on the
hardest day this too shall pass and I think that
having something like a walking habit is You
know you wake up the next day and you walk again
and it really kind of brings that touch point
into your body and that to me is one of the most
powerful ways to make change. Agreed. I feel
like your life fix is something that needs to
be looked at as well. You need to be brave enough
to change, be smart enough to maintain and be
selective enough to curate. Oh curate. I am so
about it because I think At least in my 20s,
and I hope this is something everyone relates
to, my 20s were about accumulating. I was accumulating
stuff, right? Because I had my first like paying
job, so I was accumulating stuff. I was accumulating
degrees, right? That's when I did both my master's
degrees in my 20s. I was accumulating relationships,
right? Making new friends. I was accumulating
certifications, you know, toward my future career.
It was about getting more and more and more.
I think my 30s were about then establishing the
foundation. Right? So, okay, I have all these
friends, all these credentials, all these things.
Now, what do I do with it? Yep. Strategy. 40s
is about editing. It's about refinement. It's
about curating what you just said. I love that.
And cutting the damn fat. Yes. And that's the
metaphorical fat people. That's the metaphorical,
yeah. Exactly. Hey, if y 'all want to go on a
shred, you're welcome to it. But what I'm talking
about is the metaphorical life fat. 100 % and
and that's so important and I think that's again
another piece where your friends come in and
we had such a wonderful chat with Andrew and
Sharina. Oh yes. Talking about the girlfriends
chat. Yes the girlfriends chat and why it's so
important in your 40s but also that it's not
about The quantity is about the quality of the
relationships that you have around you. And I
think that's so important. Yeah, that episode
was all about female friendships and why they
are wrought with sometimes conflict and change.
Because in our 40s, it's not the same group that
we were hanging around with in our 20s, right?
We laughed in that episode about being all up
in the club and like, you know, everybody's friends
in the club, right? The bottle comes out, we
all friend. But like, really? Really in your
40s. It's about who are the people that have
been there to catch you Yeah Who are the moms
that you went through those early days of pregnancy
with? Who are the women who have supported you
and you've had a loss, you know And I think it
really changes in your 40s 100 % and you know,
it's not about how often you speak to them although
obviously it is but it's also when you can connect
with somebody and you know if you haven't spoken
to them for a year and then you speak to them
and then It's like nothing's changed. Those are
my best kinds. Shout out to the girls, right?
Y 'all know who you are. I don't see them very
often. I mean, obviously, we're both away from
home, right? I'm American, Jasmine's from the
UK, and neither of us see our friends from childhood
very much or from young adulthood, but those
bonds are forged in fire and they do not change.
They don't. And those ones you need to hold on
to. Those are your special people. Yeah, feed
those. Penny also gave us another term which
I thought was amazing. She spoke about micro
bravery. You know, it's not about doing the...
big thing or they could be but it's those little
steps that you take that get you towards the
goal that you want to get to yes the first time
you enter the weight room this is this is one
i hear about in in my work all the time right
it's like i was so scared to get off the treadmill
elliptical rower section and step onto the weights
floor i feel like i'm the opposite you know for
me it's like i'm okay with the weight don't make
me run don't make me run that treadmill micro
bravery girl we're gonna see you out at the also
health run club right which i did by the way
You did do it. I did. I did the first one in
January. Amazing. Shout out to the Osler Health
Run Club. Guys, out there doing great things,
free of charge for everybody. Stay tuned. But
how was it? Not easy. But I did it. That's macro
bravery, right? Or at least meso bravery. That's
a mid -level bravery to be out there doing something
that you were previously scared of. But it made
me feel like maybe I should do it more often.
So you might see me at the February one. Maybe
the March one. Who knows? And I think if you
stack enough of these micro braveries one onto
the other, right, thinking back about Amelia
and her walks, you might actually stack those
all up into a pivot. Exactly. And then talking
about pivots, you know, we've had guests like
Sarah Eastwood on the show where she gave up
her corporate career to start a supplement company
from scratch. Yes. And she almost had like a
near death experience in the car that drove her
to do that. Right. There was it was almost for
her like her health through that pivot. And she
could not ignore it. That also makes me think
about Dr. Sarah Ahn diagnosed with two brain
tumors. She's fucking nuts. And a spine tumor.
And a spine tumor. Thank you. Sorry. Yeah, sorry.
One brain tumor, one spine tumor. You're absolutely
right. With that all going on, well, she had
small kids at home. Talk about a pivot in what
you thought motherhood would be like. I know.
It's just... It's just amazing what some women
can do. Oh, well, how about our girl, Chris Edwards?
Oh, yeah. Shout out to Chris. I mean, building
million dollar businesses while mothering and
parenting her three kids. And also during Covid.
Oh, my gosh. In the worst of times for a business
like hers. And I think the biggest thing we can
learn about from these women is that they stop
giving a fuck about what people thought. Yes.
Your 40s has to be the no -fucks given decade.
It has to be. Because if you keep caring about
what other people think at this age, like I said,
this is another form of locking yourself in a
cage with the door wide open. And this is something
that Pooja Kiripalani also brought up, was that
to live congruently, you need to be in alignment
with yourself. And that really does happen when
you hit your 40s. It does. You hit your stride.
I love Pooja's perspective. You know, talking
about taking ownership, I remember when we had
Michelle O 'Brien in studio talking about her
decision to get sober. And I think taking ownership
of her sobriety and her relationship to alcohol
was a bold ass move. And she ain't even 40, okay?
So shout out to Michelle. I think she's 40 now
though. She's 40 now, yeah. But yeah, she quit
drinking in her 30s. She did, yeah. And I mean,
at that time, given the environment she was in,
you know, a lot of partiers, a lot of alcohol
opportunities, it was really defiant. Yeah. And
really contrarian to say, this is not for me,
but that's a boundary she held. And you know,
we had a Dr. Fung on the show and she's - about
how your body metabolizes alcohol very differently
when you're in your 40s. And for me, actually
giving up alcohol wasn't, I mean, not that I've
given it up entirely, but I don't drink it often.
And if I do, it's a very conscious decision that
I'm going to have a little bit, but I also know
how I feel when I drink it. And when I'm out
and people say to me, oh my God, how did you
do it? You know, like, what's the big secret?
There is no big secret. You know, I just made
a decision. I didn't want to do this and I'm
not doing it. And I think if you feel like it's
the right time for you, it's the right decision
for you, then make that move. You don't need
to. And that's not just alcohol, that could be
anything. If anything is draining you, if anything
is affecting you in a way where it's making you
question, why am I doing this? Why the fuck are
you doing it? That's right. The fundamental question
in coaching, as my husband has heard me say a
thousand times, is how's that working for you?
How's that working for you? And in my 20s, it's
regarding alcohol. I would have said, great,
dude, it's rocking. My life rocks. I go to Vegas.
I party on the weekends. I bounce back like a
champ. I'm in the gym the next day. You know
me, like all good. You asked me in my forties,
how's that working for you? Not the same chief.
Three day hangover. Holy shit balls. I'm a destruction
of a human being. I'm a shit mother. My patience
is paper thin and my body feels like junk. So
that's not working for me. And I think at points
in our life where we are considering the pivot,
considering the next move, it's important to
ask yourself, how's that working for you? What
you're doing now? Are you getting the results
that you want? And if not, make a change. Wow.
When you lay it all out like that, it really
is a formula, isn't it? It is. It's not a midlife
crisis, Amanda. It's a midlife chrysalis. We
are shedding your stuff, the bad habits, the
people pleasing the fear, and we are merging
as strong, founded joyful women. Oh, I love that.
And we want to thank every single one of those
guests for empowering us with their messages
of strength, power and promise in our 40s. And
most importantly, we want to thank you for listening,
for sharing and for being part of this community
for 100 episodes. So with that, here's our question
for you today. Which of these fixes do you need
to prioritize right now? Is it body? Is it mind?
Is it life or really a little bit of all three?
Let us know in the comments. Send us a message.
