When was I truly living?’ and it was in those messy, present, connected moments that I was living. And I just decided I was taking on more of those, and I am going to teach women how to take on more of those.” (30:23)  “There is an actual method for aging in reverse, and it is not just going to the cosmetic surgeon.” (34:08)   Resources Mentioned Aging in Reverse by Natalie Jill Join the Aging in Reverse Community Leveling Up: Creating Everything from Nothing Podcast Natalie Jill Website Follow Natalie on Facebook | Instagram | YouTube   Other Resources: Register for the Essential Oil Hormone Summit Here Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube
