Fast forward a couple of decades, and you might be like our friend and guest, Alex, who shares an intimate recount of the identity shifts that come with the ticking clock. We tackle the shadow of the pandemic, how it reshaped our sense of normalcy, and the unspoken challenges - from abruptly transitioning to remote learning to the solitude that has become an unexpected comfort. This heart-to-heart is about harnessing the power of self-care and rising above life's hurdles, be it career plateaus or personal battles.
Our bodies are our lifelong companions, yet they can sometimes throw us curveballs, especially when hormones start playing jazz. With practical advice enriched by personal anecdotes, we navigate the maze of hormonal changes that can flip life on its head during midlife. The jigsaw puzzle of blood work, thyroid checks, and finding that sanctuary within your circle of friends or therapy – it's all part of re-tuning your body's symphony.
