If you’re a woman in your 40s, you might be standing at a crossroads — navigating changes in your body, relationships, career, and identity. In this episode, we explore how gratitude can become a powerful anchor in this transformative season of life. In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, be more, and have more, it’s easy to feel like something is missing. But what if the key to feeling whole isn’t found in chasing more — but in noticing what’s already here? Join me as we unpack the deeper meaning of gratitude — not as a surface-level nicety, but as a grounding practice that helps us reconnect with ourselves, our bodies, and the beauty of everyday life. We’ll talk about how gratitude can shift your perspective, reduce stress, and help you reclaim your joy — even when life feels messy or uncertain. You’ll also learn four simple ways to cultivate gratitude in your daily life, including journaling, walking meditations, heartfelt letters, and a guided gratitude meditation you can do right now. This episode is a gentle reminder that you are enough — right here, right now. And that peace, joy, and clarity are already within you, waiting to be noticed. #gratitude #grounded #stressmanagement Links: The world needs you — your joy, your health, your open heart, and your peaceful mind.

Worthy Beyond Weight

Worthy Beyond Weight
In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, Chaneen Dippenaar shares two powerful stories that reflect the emotional journey many women face with their weight—especially in their 40s. From the desperation to reclaim the body of their youth to the resignation that nothing can be done, women often find themselves caught between extremes. But what if there’s a healthier, more empowering middle ground? Chaneen explores how societal pressures, comparison culture, and the number on the scale have shaped our self-worth for decades. She challenges listeners to shift their focus from weight to health, from appearance to purpose, and from striving to be worthy to recognizing that they already are. This episode is a call to action for women to rewrite the narrative around body image and aging. It’s about embracing intentional living, making choices that honor your health, and rediscovering your confidence and strength—because you are worthy beyond weight. If this resonates with you, Chaneen invites you to book a complimentary BecomingYOU@40 coaching session to explore how you can realign your goals with what truly matters.

40 & Finding Confidence
Just because you're a woman in your 40s doesn’t mean you radiate self-assurance. In fact, many women in midlife struggle with self-worth. This lack of confidence can be paralysing.

The Power of the Pause
A woman’s work is never done. We always have something to do or someone to care for. From cooking, cleaning, and shopping to doctor’s visits, school runs and work, it is a never-ending story. And in so many instances, we are usually way at the bottom of our to-do lists, putting everything and everyone’s needs above our own. I recently made the mistake of leaving myself off my to-do list, leaving me feeling exhausted. Listen to this episode and learn from my mistake, so you won’t have to repeat it.

The 40s Self-care Shift

The 40s Self-care Shift
Self-Care After 40: How I Reclaimed My Energy, Worth, and Joy One of the best things about turning 40 was realizing I no longer had to keep doing the same things I did in my 20s and 30s. Back then, I was a different person—anxious, rushed, and constantly drained. I lived for my children and husband, always putting their needs above mine. I tried to be everything for everyone, and in the process, I lost myself. It felt like I wasn’t truly existing for years. I faded into the background, comparing myself to others and feeling like I was always on the back foot. But everything changed when I turned 40. I began prioritizing self-care, and it transformed my life. If you’re a woman in your 40s—whether you’re still climbing out of rock bottom or ready to build a balanced, flourishing life—I hope my self-care strategy helps you regain control and reconnect with your power. Self-care isn’t about massive lifestyle changes. It’s about small, consistent actions that help you flourish. Whether it’s drinking one extra glass of water or adding a vegetable to your plate, these steps matter. You deserve to live your best years now—not someday. You are worthy beyond weight, beyond roles, beyond expectations. Let’s reclaim our energy, worth, and joy—together. : For more information on or to book your space at my ‘Becoming YOU@40’ retreat from 30 October to 2 November 2025, which aims to empower women in their 40s to rediscover their balance to live their best years in their 40s and beyond, follow the link: Follow me on to keep up to date with future retreat dates. to my newsletter.
