Growing Louder and Guilty Pleasures
Grown-Ass Woman's Guide

5.0
Imagine this: You're in an airport bathroom in Reno, Nevada. You're feeling crampy and cranky because it's that time of the month, so you reach for a maxi pad. What you see when you open the package angers you, enrages you really; so much so that you decide to stop and write an open letter to the company that made said maxi pad.
That's pretty much what happened to Wendi Aarons. And it was the very thing to begin to change the trajectory of her life. The award winning humorist, writer, opinionated tweeter and self-proclaimed Fanilow is now a published author (her first two books written when she was 54). Her book I'm Wearing Tunics Now: On Growing Older, Wiser and a Hell of a Lot Louder is a stroll down memory lane for any Gen X woman finding her way -- and herself.
About: Wendi Aarons is a writer and award-winning humorist whose work has frequently appeared in outlets like McSweeney’s and The New Yorker, among many others. She is the author of the middle-grade novel Ginger Mancino,
Kid Comedian, SOCKS from Chronicle Books, and a contributor to the Listen to Your Mother: What She Said Then, What We’re Saying Now and Keep Scrolling Til You Feel Something anthologies. She is a popular speaker and teacher on humor, and lives in Austin with her family. And her tunics.

Raising a Transgender Child
Grown-Ass Woman's Guide
08/19/21 • 43 min
Meet Dr. Paria Hassouri, a pediatrician, mother of three, transgender rights activist, and author of Found in Transition: A Mother’s Evolution During Her Child’s Gender Change. I met Paria in 2019 while my family was going through our own transition, when one of our children came out as transgender.
Paria and her family were a little bit ahead of us, going through a transition of their own with their teenage daughter. Now while you may not be familiar with transgender children or transgender issues and challenges, Paria’s story is universal to any mom, really any human, who at one time believed that life would look one way until a bomb is completely dropped. Through Paria’s story, you can feel her slowly begin to grow, find acceptance and express the unconditional love that was always within her.
But it wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t easy.
Get Found in Transition absolutely free with a trial of Audible.
Your FREE 30 day trial comes with:
1 credit good (2 for any Amazon Prime member) for any premium selection titles you like — yours to keep.
You also get the Audible Plus Catalog of podcasts, audio books, guided wellness and audible originals.

About Our Guest: Paria Hassouri is the author of Found in Transition: A Mother’s Evolution During Her Child’s Gender Change. A pediatrician, mother of three, and transgender rights activist, her essays have been published in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Huffington Post.

Is This the End for Forty Thrive?
Grown-Ass Woman's Guide
09/02/21 • 5 min
A love letter to you, the Forty Thrive listener.
On December 12, 2018, I launched this show. No big team, just my awesome editors to help me. I produced over 100 episodes, talking with incredible experts, and other badass women over 40.
Over those 20+ months, while I’ve done a lot of talking (like, A LOT) I’ve also been listening -- to you. I’ve heard what you love about the show, what you’d like more of -- even what you'd like less of.
One of the challenges I’ve had since Day 1 was letting women know that Forty Thrive is NOT just for women in their 40s, it’s for women over 40. So if you’re in your 50s or 60s — or hell, even beyond that, this is for you, too.
But if you have to explain something more than a couple of times, you might need to tweak your messaging.
I learned not only the age of the woman listening, but who that woman really is.
- She’s someone who wants more out of life.
- She’s a lifelong learner.
- She dares to dream.
- She knows this is the time to leap but is a little afraid of the idea... and even if she wanted to, HOW would she do it?
- She wants to take care of her shit. Like really wants to. But the self doubt creeps in... and she needs some support here.
- She cares less about what other people think and is starting to really tune into what her gut says.
She's a GROWN-ASS WOMAN.
And likely, she is YOU.
Sure, the calendar says you’re over 40. And that, to me, says something. It says we’ve lived a lot of life. We’ve got so much experience. But it’s not just women over 40 that get me fired up, who turn to me for coaching and collaboration — it’s GROWN-ASS women over 40.
They're my spirit animals, for real. The past few years getting to help women find that spark inside of them and recommit to their own lives has been an honor. The fact that I get to do it for a living? 🤯
So in just a few days, I’ll introduce the next level of Forty Thrive — one that’s 100% committed to more than just inspiring you to thrive, but supporting you in ACTIVATING what’s brewing inside of you, holding you accountable for taking charge of your own life, and standing right next to you as you blow the LID OFF the next chapter of your life.
Are you ready to join me?

You Are Not Enough (and other lies we tell ourselves)
Grown-Ass Woman's Guide
10/06/21 • 16 min
It's the premiere episode of The Grown-Ass Woman's Guide! Let's dive in, shall we? In a recent poll, 100 Grown-Ass women were asked: “How often do you feel like you're not enough in one or more areas of your life?”
The answer may surprise you. But what’s even more important is WHY we feel like we’re not enough and what we can do about it. In this episode, you’ll hear from therapist Melody Murray who provides some key insight Plus, learn five simple ways to feel more enough that’s worked for me and so many other grown-ass women.
- Identify the area or areas in which you feel like you're not enough. If there are multiple, write them all down, but then we're going to pick one at a time to go through the process.
- Define what enough looks like in that area. What does it even mean? What does it look like to be enough as a mom, in your job or a friendship? It really helps to define what it is that you think is enough so you can actually compare where you are and where you think you should be.
- Imagine someone you love, it could be your best friend, a sister, neighbor, maybe even a daughter. Would you hold her to the same impossible standards you expect of yourself? Would you judge her so harshly? Or would you cut her some slack? What makes you so unique that you are expected to achieve some bogus level and be this person that you would never expect someone else to be?
- Who is determining your enoughness or not enoughness? When we put our own value in the comments of other people, how can we not feel like we're not enough, especially when that person hasn't even gone through their own healing journey? Spoiler alert: the person you should be listening to is you.
5. Imagine for a moment that you are enough right now. Just be quiet with yourself and say, I am a human being doing the very best I can. And that's enough. I am enough. How would your life look if you stopped and you reminded yourself every day just for five seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, five minutes?

Can Yoga Shave Years Off Your Face?
Grown-Ass Woman's Guide
08/12/21 • 30 min
Raise your hand if you’ve ever looked at a woman who does yoga and envied not only how grounded, centered and balanced she is, but those arms and shoulders are serious workout goals.
Same.
Now imagine the results you could see if you were to do Face Yoga. Yes, face yoga. It’s a thing.
The team at Face Yoga Method reached out to me a while back and introduced me to this phenomenon. Led by founder Fumiko Takatsu, Face Yoga Method is an all natural practice that consists of non invasive facial exercises that tone facial muscles, improve complexion and smooth wrinkles. It’s a holistic approach focusing on mind/body/spirit and boasts side effects like amazing posture and more self confidence. Yes, please!
I will admit. I was skeptical.
But take a listen to my interview with Fumiko and it’s like DUH! Of course this works!
About our guest: Fumiko Takatsu (founder and CEO) of the Face Yoga Method brings her 15 years of practice and personal experience into the Revolutionary Pro-Aging Method that has been impacting thousands of lives, hers included!Following a nearly fatal car accident that threw her hip, shoulder and head off-kilter, Fumiko developed what is today The Face Yoga Method. With over 80 facial postures geared toward working on any area of the face, she has helped men and women worldwide replace cosmetic procedures 100% naturally!

A Powerful Tool to Get Unstuck
Grown-Ass Woman's Guide
10/22/21 • 35 min
There’s nothing more grown-ass than creating a sisterhood of support. Women who lift each other up, call each other forward when necessary, and do it all with an open heart and mind. This episode came to be when I went to speak at She Podcasts Live over the weekend and came home feeling like a better person.
During the conference, I spent a lot of time with three incredible women. We laughed so much, supported each other and really challenged each other to show up in new ways. Speaking of challenges, one of the women in the group did a whole talk about not overcoming unexpected challenges in your life, but creating challenges to help you become the human you're truly capable of becoming.
