  • 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 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.

  • Practical NOT Radical Nutrition in Your 40s with Amy Shapiro

    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...
