This episode is my goodbye to you, the Midlife-A-Go-Go the podcast audience. The podcast is going on an indefinite hiatus. Over the past three years, I've recorded 76 episodes. That's a true accomplishment for me. Now, it's time for me to hang up my microphone – for now – and focus on other pursuits in my life. It's been a wonderful ride and I would never have made it this far without a loyal audience who listened, commented, engaged and recommended the show to others.

Let's get straight to the point. Ladies, we have vaginas. By the time we reach midlife, things began to happen to our vaginas. We're plagued with everything from odor to painful intercourse — and many of these problems can be attributed to menopause. So what can we do about it?

Do you live your life with no boundaries? Are you such a people-pleaser that even when people go too far, you sit back and silently let them? Val Selby had horrible boundaries with a 'friend' who constantly took her for granted and was always the receiver in the friendship, not the giver. When she decided to set boundaries with her, it didn't go over too well. But Val did it and stood her ground. Today, Val still believes in having boundaries, and she has learned to embrace her bold new life.

info_outlineMidlife. I get it. Our lives have changed drastically from when we were in our 20s and, for many, maybe even our 30s. And within all of that change is our bodies adapting to our new new normal. Change happens. So how do we deal with it all?
Doctors have in-depth knowledge about bodies. And guess what? So do nurses! Charli Brown is one such nurse. Charli recently earned her Masters in Nursing Education and she puts her knowledge to good use.
Charli has been described as fun and a little bossy. She refers to herself after retiring as an oncology nurse as a “knowledge broker” with her focus heavy on health and wellness education. She is a mentor to women and personal coaches, as well as the co-host of The For Real Life podcast where she continues to serve women to live their REAL life out loud. You can also find her working on her passion project - The Rooted Kafe. She is a wife, mom, Yaya, personal development junkie and will never pass up a plate of Indian food.
Charli and I talk about the health issues with which women age 50+ have to contend. And there's one important thing that Charli wants us to know: for every decrease that happens after 50 there are increases to fix and prevent it from getting worse.
