What happens when your childhood is defined by surgeries, pain, and a degenerative bone disease—and you grow up to become a powerful advocate for women’s health, strength, and potential? You get Jenny Rappole.  In this inspiring conversation, Jenny shares how she transformed early challenges into a lifelong passion for movement, wellness, and helping women in midlife reconnect with their bodies. Now a fitness and wellness coach—and a newly appointed member of the Board of the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation—Jenny empowers women to start exactly where they are, one small step at a time.  We talk about the importance of mobility, why strength training must be built on a solid foundation, and how midlife can be a time of reinvention and real personal growth. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, this episode offers a clear, doable roadmap to move forward.  Listen in and learn why it’s never too late to build strength, confidence, and momentum.  Takeaways  Start where you are—keep it simple and doable to build real momentum.  Midlife is a reinvention: embrace it as a magical, powerful stage of life.  One kept promise builds confidence; choose one action and let it be enough.  Mobility is essential; movement is strength work.  Nutrition and exercise work together to enhance overall health.  Repetition in midlife is a superpower for maintaining strength and well-being.  Regularly reassess and adjust your wellness routine as your life shifts.  Build a foundation of essential habits to set yourself up for success.  Approach strength training with care—start with mobility, form, and basics.  It’s never too late to start making meaningful change.  Links & Resources  Connect with Jenny Rappole: Website   Instagram    Learn more about the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation   Connect With Barbara:   Have ideas for future episodes? We'd love to hear from you!   - Email: agebetterpodcast@gmail.com   Learn more about your ad choices.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
