My neck has fallen, and it can't get up!

I'm getting real in this episode of Fabulous Over Fifty! It's the short version of my personal journey of embracing body positivity and aging, something I feel has happened rather rapidly lately - the aging part. It's important to acknowledge both the ups and downs of feeling good about ourselves, and I want to encourage you to share your own insights and struggles after you listen. You can contact me at JenHardy.net any time. Let me know if aging is easy or difficult for you. Or, like me, you've got a mix of both.
We're also talking about how being fabulous is not just about material possessions, money, or plastic surgery (can't do it) but it's a state of mind. You'll journey with me as I check out and adjust lighting for video recording to avoid unflattering angles. Not sure how I feel about all that, but we've gone & shared it!
And I'm so happy to announce my new project called "Jen's Friends", where I'll be sending daily video emails to encourage others dealing with loneliness. You can find info about that on the website here.
Thank you for joining me today!
I'm having a blast creating Fabulous Over 50 & it would be an honor to have you share it with someone who would enjoy it. Thank you!

Selfless Syndrome - Is it happening to you?
Are you taking care of yourself or waiting for a wake-up call? 🤔
On this week's episode I had a chat with a woman who helps women who've had illnesses or crises get that wake up call 💪
She emphasizes the importance of taking care of yourself first in order to be good to the people you love 👩👧👦
As a single mom, she learned that it made her a better mom when she took time for herself ❤️🩹
She encourages starting with just a minute of protected time for yourself, which will grow over time 🌱
In January, she released a book about the innate desire to take care of others instead of yourself, termed as a modern-day stress response lacking the ability to de-escalate 📚
Completely relatable, right ladies? 😩
Here to help is Dr. Alexandra Swenson-Ridley, a chiropractor, speaker and author who helps women who've had wake-up calls due to illnesses or crises. Dr. Alex tells us what Selfless Syndrome is, how to stop it, and how to avoid wearing ourselves out giving to others by taking care of ourselves. She also wrote a book that discusses the innate desire of women to take care of everyone except themselves, which she terms as a modern-day stress response lacking the ability to de-escalate.
We discuss ways to set boundaries and start with just a minute of protected time for ourselves. We also talk about how generational and societal expectations should be questioned if they don't work for you and your family. Dr. Alex also shares her personal experiences with stress and trauma and how she learned to recognize and manage stress for restoring the nervous system and overall health. Tune in to learn about managing stress, setting boundaries, and taking care of yourself.
