Breaking Down Our 40s with Amy Nobile

EPISODE 2

I met Amy many years ago while on vacation on Nantucket. She was on a lounge chair reading and her kids were playing independently in the pool. My kids were little and still needing lots of attention. I looked at her and asked when I would be able to do that...she told me in about "ten years".

Well, she was right! Her books helped me laugh off many things when my kids were young, even the titles made me laugh. "I Was A Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids" and "I'd Trade My Husband For A Housekeeper", "Dirty Little Secrets From Otherwise Perfect Moms". They allow you to feel free and know that you're not perfect and we are all going through this together. Then recently, she wrote a book called "Just When You're Comfortable in Your Own Skin, It Starts to Sag: Rewriting the Rules to Midlife" and of course I read it in a day and it inspired the idea behind my podcast. While I'm a fine jewelry designer by day, many years ago (2005) I had a blog, podcast and eventual radio show and I loved connecting with other women. This is my way of giving back to other women and educating them to live a happier next chapter. I know some amazing women and have some experience and feel that I can help, but I want to learn along with you. Our 40's is this odd time in our lives that no one discusses. We are dealing with hormones, aging parents, kids who are on their way to being tweens and teens, long term marriages with little support and just trying to find a way to enjoy this next chapter. I want to help women now, so that we can really enjoy the next chapter of life to the fullest.
