Listen to the Corresponding Podcast Episode:
Today I’m sharing more about my personal journey of embracing fitness, health, and purpose as I approach 50. It all began when I turned 47 and had a wake-up call about my self-care. After leaving my corporate career and dedicating myself to growing my business, I realized that my health had taken a backseat. I was so focused on making my business successful that I neglected my own well-being.
Addressing My Physical Health & Wellness
I knew I needed to make a change, so I started with small, manageable steps. Instead of diving into intense workouts right away, I began by simply walking. I chose a loop in my neighborhood and committed to it daily. Over time, this small habit grew into a treasured routine that I now consider sacred. Walking has become a vital part of my life, helping me stay active and grounded.
Alongside focusing on physical activity, I also turned my attention to my skin. I noticed the effects of collagen depletion and began exploring different skincare routines. As I approach my 50th birthday, I’ve found some skincare solutions that I’m excited to share. Taking care of my skin has become an important aspect of my self-care regimen.
I love experimenting with different skincare lines and trying things out, and I'm using a new line that I'm obsessed with! I'm actually going to talk a lot more about it at my Birthday Bash on September 17th.

We're going to have so much fun! It's going to be a way for me to share this huge milestone with you, but also to help you and so many other women design their next decade on purpose.
Mindset & Purpose is Where Change Actually Happens
But my journey isn’t just about physical health—it’s also about mindset and purpose. I’ve come to realize that life after 50 is not about winding down or coasting; it’s an opportunity for mastery and continued growth. I’ve rediscovered my passion for my work and am even writing a book titled 50 Not Finished™. This book aims to inspire women to view this stage of life as a time for embracing new challenges, learning, and making a significant impact.
A key part of this journey has been exploring the Gene Keys and Human Design. These tools have been transformative for me in understanding my life's purpose and how to navigate this new phase with intention. The Gene Keys, with its focus on unlocking our highest potential, has offered me profound insights into my personal growth and self-discovery. Similarly, Human Design has provided clarity on how I can align my actions with my authentic self, making choices that resonate with my true nature.
In preparing for the future, I’ve also focused on my overall health. As I navigate perimenopause and menopause, I’ve been addressing my bone health, especially after discovering that I have osteopenia. I’ve been actively researching and implementing strategies to improve my bone density, including wearing a weighted vest and exploring new supplements.
Being Intentional
Every step we take now sets the stage for the life we want to live in the future. It’s about making intentional choices today that our future selves will thank us for. Whether it’s getting back into a fitness routine, caring for your skin, or discovering your true purpose through tools like the Gene Keys and Human Design, the changes we make now can profoundly impact our lives.

I’m thrilled to invite you to my upcoming birthday bash, where I’ll dive deeper into these topics. We’ll explore ways to prepare for the next decade and beyond, and I’ll share insights on health, purpose, and the tools that have helped me on my journey.
