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 Midlif e " 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. Amy is a best-selling Oprah featured co-author of four books, all designed to empower and inspire women at various stages of their lives. She’s also the co-founder of ASH + AMES , a company showcasing unique jewelry handmade by various female artisans around the globe. Amy’s latest venture is Love, Amy - a Dating Concierge service that marries the technology of modern day dating with a holistic view of human to human energy and connection.

EPISODE 3 I can't tell you how many fad diets I have tried. Staring at skinny Moms I know on Instagram and they're posting their shakes, bran crackers and whatever else they are doing. After many years, I discovered that none of that is me and none of that works. Being healthy, enjoying food (I LOVE TO EAT) and just being confident in your body is the most important thing. I reached out to Amy when I was having a hard time with some health issues. She was practical, calm, understanding and the same age, so she just got it. Nutrition in your 40s isn't just about weight, it's also a mindset. So you need to be in the right place mentally to approach nutrition healthfully. Amy Shapiro of Real Nutrition NYC makes that possible...

It's Not A Crisis is a podcast for women in their 30s and 40s seeking to navigate life's challenges while making the most of it. TESTIMONIALS LISTENERS Loved this book by @adacalhoun and this episode. This book nails the genX, female, mid-life experience better than anything I have ever read! This episode was a great conversation about mid-life and the expectations genX women had placed on them at a young age. I love that you covered many perspectives, single, married, kids, no kids, financial, career, etc. — @pmackintheville This episode had me pausing a few times as these gifts of validation and revelations kept dropping and I had to let them process. Thank you, thank you, thank you Doryn and @adacalhoun for this awesome conversation. — @mzginags I just finished listening to your podcast with Amy and it was INCREDIBLE! I am so proud of you and the content was beyond helpful. Actually felt like a lifeline being dangled out there for me. You are truly an inspiration for women with your honesty, transparency and desire to help others. — Anonymous Thanks for sharing your wisdom, and for being 100% yourself! — TaraMoney Always look forward to a new show - it is informative and entertaining - have to keep my notepad close by since I’m writing the great info down — MollyMo1005 Finished the parenting one (so good!) I still have a little left of this, but I’m literally nodding along to everything you say and feel like you might have a window into my soul! Lol! — @carrie.shope Listened to several episodes of It’s Not A Crisis while driving to the Hamptons today. It is SUCH A FANTASTIC podcast.

Absolutely loved the identity, Self worth one from July. Exactly what I needed to listen to. I’m in my 40s just got laid off from being on furlough for 6 months. Used this time to discover who I am...started to develop my own business. Thank you — Anonymous Your podcasts have given me life this week! I have binged on a few and I can’t stop talking to my husband about how I finally feel seen, heard and marginally less crazy! THANK YOU — Anonymous I’m turning 40 in a few months & feeling all the feelings and asking all the questions you’re addressing on this brilliant podcast! This needs to be part of every middle aged lady’s toolbox. Thanks for sharing your perspective and experience as well as bringing pertinent info from the professionals to our ears. — TrishDavison Yes, this is so needed for women like me in their 40’s with hard to handle teens and the many stresses of careers that still haven’t bloomed and all that goes along with this group of women. I would love to hear a podcast on mothers who have teenage boys who don’t want to listen to their moms and are causing them a crisis. I’m right there and my guess is there are a ton of them out there. Ladies love this and keep putting out the content! Much love, GP — gieno78 I enjoy this podcast. It offers perspective and resources in a relaxed manner, which is really nice. I’m interested to see where this podcast takes me. — Gfinn524 Getting older isn't easy, and no one prepares you for all the challenges that you’ll face. It’s nice to listen to people going through similar things and who you can relate to. — crazyblondeone I found this podcast over a month ago as I was looking for something geared towards women in their 40’s. LOVE IT! The guests have been spot on and informational. It’s like listening to a group of your friends. — Hlw0620 Love to have a podcast targeting this stage of life. Super relatable. Not young, not old, so much living and adventure left to do! Thanks for helping women get or stay unstuck! — xlove33 I am in my early 40’s and have felt kind of “lost”. Listening to the wide variety of guests discuss everything from beauty to how to start a business has really helped me realize my 40’s are truly just the beginning! — RobinM23 I think I finally found something that makes me feel like I am not the only one going through all these exciting new emotions. Looking forward to the next topics! — alinem2 I just listened to one of your podcasts and I felt very seen.

Doryn is also hysterical and her sense of humor will make you smile no matter what! Highly recommend! — RBSteach I came across this podcast on Instagram and as a 37 year old woman I am blown away! I feel like I’m listening to women who understand while glimpsing into what other changes to expect on the coming decades.

Such a great show! — Spacystar As a woman of 45 it’s great to listen to a podcast I can relate to. Helpful tips and information — Jackie_Ann I happened upon your instagram and immediately was curious. I looked through every IG post and subscribed to the podcast at once! AFter 40, I have come to realize so many things. This is definitely a time for rediscovery and we need all the help we can get. Every topic has been relevant and I can’t wait for the next one! — micielo66 Came across this podcast by chance and staying forever!! Doryn just makes every subject seem so simple and so relatable. I feel she is just asking her guests all the questions I have in my head. It's so great to find a podcast for women our age. Many of the popular out there are for really young girls, which is great for them but, you know...we’ve been there, done that. — Naty Casas Wowowow!! Doryn your voice sounds perfect for these things and you have such good stories to tell! — hmrizzo Nobody warned me that my 40s were going to be so emotionally weird! My kids are getting older so I’m figuring out how to let them grow up and not rely on me...perimenopause is REAL...I feel like I’m figuring out how to be a real personal again and episode 5 was exactly what I needed to hear — KMolch4 I love the positivity of this podcast and topics covered. This is such an interesting life stage. It‘s like getting together with your girlfriends for Happy Hour and realizing you are not the junky one that is having those what am I going to do with the rest of my life feelings!! This is just a new chapter. — MplsMiss TESTIMONIALS GUESTS YOU are wonderful!! And so good at this!! I enjoyed it so much. Invite me back!! — Annie Potts That was a great interview today!
