Hi!

In this episode, we introduce ourselves, share our background and some of our history together, and explain why we decided to start the podcast- to share our knowledge and experiences with our listeners in order to help them live a vibrant and fulfilling life after kids.We’ve been best friends for over 21 years, first meeting in chiropractic school. We bonded over our mutual interest in health and wellness and have been focused on improving our own health and sharing what we learn with others ever since. We’ve been talking about topics such as purpose, keto diets, fasting, emotional health, resilience and beauty products for 10-20 years, before these topics became more mainstream. We continue to seek out new information so that we can bring it to you, our listeners.We’ll discuss our perspectives on life as our kids are growing up and prepping to leave home. We’ll share our struggles with maintaining and cultivating friendships and how we nurture our relationship with our spouse now that the kids are grown.   And of course, we can't leave out menopause and weight gain!Over the years we’ve done a ton of research and taken many post graduate classes focused on natural and holistic approaches to life.   We’ve used this knowledge and experience to improve our health and the health of our clients, while ensuring that we show up as our best selves every day.  Now we’re curating all of that information for you so you can live a fabulous and meaningful midlife.  We’re here to flip the script of what aging women look like!TIMESTAMPS 0:00:00  Introducing Life After Kids with Doctors Brooke and Lynne0:02:07   A Conversation on Health, Wellness, and Aging0:03:47    Cultivating Healthy Relationships in Life After Kids0:05:29   Exploring Physical, Emotional, and Holistic Health for Life After Kids"0:09:27    Holistic Health and Treating the Cause, Not the Symptom0:11:38    The Power of Simple Solutions and Leveraging Habits for Change0:15:07    Intentional Friendship and Parenting in Midlife0:20:17  Creating Life After Kids: Challenges and Opportunities0:22:16   Creating a Safe Space for Women to Discuss Aging and Parenting0:23:37    Strategies for Cultivating Relationships in Later Life0:25:31   The Power of Connection and Friendship in Midlife use AFTERKIDS15! for 15% off your purchase at www.ryzesuperfoods.com Enjoy the show, and we hope you learn a little bit more about living a fulfilling, vibrant, and meaningful Life after Kids!
