“You two need to know each other.”

That was how a mutual friend introduced me to Alexandra Epple, a health coach who supports and empowers women as they transition through menopause and midlife with grace and ease. She’s amazing! From the first time we talked, I felt like I’d known her forever, and I loved connecting with her and sharing how we both are working to help women live their best lives.

Recently she and I talked for her “Women Gone Vibrant” podcast on the topic of “Thriving as a Childless Woman”. In addition to my sharing some of my story about making peace with being childless-by-circumstances, we talked about the origins and inspiration for this blog, 52Nudges.

Our chat went live today! I hope you’ll check it out and share it. Here’s the link to the podcast.  You can also access it on your phone’s podcast app by searching for “Women Gone Vibrant”. (If you don’t have a podcast app, download the Overcast App.)

This morning, when I heard from Alexandra that our conversation would be going out into the world, I was a little emotional. I feel humbled and honored that my words were chosen to be shared today, Valentine’s Day. This day has the potential to suck for a lot of us, and if you are feeling down, please be gentle with yourself. Wherever you are on your journey—single or married, with or without children, pursuing your dreams or still seeking purpose—I hope you’ll find encouragement and inspiration in the podcast and in 52Nudges.
