This week on the podcast I’m chatting with Jodi Echakowitz, who in her 50s underwent an incredible physical fitness transformation — going from feeling exhausted and disconnected from her body to fitness competitions and photo shoots.

Pretty much every woman I know struggles with her own version of enoughness -  pretty enough, smart enough, good enough, nice enough, thin enough. Myself included.  It’s not a coincidence  that so many women feel this way - new live in a whorl that profits from it.  We’ve been conditioned that way for centuries. Were influenced by it every day in no many ways.

As it turns out we are all creative in our own way and  the definition of creativity goes beyond the tractional art forms. Tapping in to our flavour of creativity is actually key to our growth and tran...

However there is a lot of unspoken tension in our culture around women owning their power and their sexuality—especially so as we age.
