The Roller Coaster of Midlife

I feel that over the past few decades, stress seems to be an accolade, a right of passage to success and a measure of self-worth. Today's guest, Phil Barth, had a bit of a wake-up call when he experienced a heart attack and his doctor attributed it to stress. Not that I want to start a debate on who has more stress, us moms or our husbands/partners, but studies have shown that women are more prone to suffer from extreme stress. The American Psychological Association reports a gender gap year after year showing that women consistently report higher stress levels.

Let’s face it, from the time our kids were born, the demands on our time have been relentless. Even now as our kids are older, those demands are still there. Add on work/career stress and then maybe caring for aging parents or grandkids, the stress is still there.

The good news is that there are things that we can do to bring back focus on ourselves. In this episode we chat about:

• Stress management
• The importance of starting your day off right
• And why we should be more like dogs

It's also important to keep in mind, that while we have to manage our own stress, it's important to see signs of prolonged stress in our husbands/partners. Women and men handle things very differently and exhibit signs of stress just as differently.

To say that we're living in unprecedented times feels like an understatement. As parents of adult children we've had to navigate these murky waters of balancing our own mental health and the needs of our kids. I'll admit, we can't even begin to relate to what parents of younger kids are going through. Lockdowns, school closures, masks, and social distancing have stripped away the innocence of childhood. As a parent, how do you help your kids?

Joining me in this episode is Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, a trailblazing psychologist and pediatric mental health expert to talk about the long-term impact of Covid and what we can do to help our kids.

Ever found yourself so entangled in the health maze of your family that you've lost sight of your own well-being? We've all been there, haven't we?

Joining us is Susan Salenger, a beacon of light in the hazy corridors of women's health. Armed with insights from her revolutionary book "SIDELINED: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health," she's here to answer the burning question, "Why do we sideline our own health?"

Picture this: women are the ultimate health detectives for their families. They're the ones cross-examining doctors, decoding medical jargon, and leading the charge toward better health. But when it comes to their care, they sometimes forget to wear the detective hat. It's like playing Sherlock at work, but forgetting to play him at home!

In today's chat, Susan and I dive headfirst into these murky waters. We dissect the complex world of women's healthcare and address the elephant in the room - why do women tend to downplay their symptoms and let fear of judgment hold them back?

So, buckle up for a heart-to-heart conversation that's all about empowering YOU. Together, let's decode the medical mystery, dispel fears, and reclaim our rightful place at the forefront of our health journey. This episode is more than a ride; it's a call to action for every woman to become her own health superhero. It's time to stop sidelining and start shining in our health narratives!
