The first half of life is for learning. The second half of life is for living.

The New Mid is a frank, funny look at women in mid-life and their day-to day-struggles and successes, as well as the big stuff - questions about meaning, fulfillment and happiness. It’s a place where women in their 40’s and up are breaking societal boundaries and expectations, while still dealing with real life issues such as caring for aging parents or restarting their careers.  You’ll get real talk with nothing held back about the topics you care about, with experts weighing in on health, sex, finances, relationships and everything in between.

As New Year's approaches, many of us are thinking about how we can lose some of those extra pounds we might have put on this year with COVID and the Holidays. I speak with Founder of the 99Walks app Joyce Schulman on how an intentional walk five times a week for 20 minutes can make a big difference in improving your health.  She also explains all of the cool things the app 99Walks has to offer plus she is giving The New Mid Members the month of January Free! DM me or you can email me at michelle@thenewmid.com to get the code for the Free month and be part of The New Mid Team!

Here are some of the takeaways:

-20 minute walk 5 times a week will reduce the risk of dementia, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and several types of cancer plus it helps prevent osteoporosis.

- The main reason Joyce started the program is because 73% of women admitted or acknowledged that they suffer from loneliness.

-We know so much now on what is takes to be healthy and well but the incidence of preventable disease is increasing.

-The 99Walks App has 50 pieces of Original Content every month. 

-The 99Walks App includes: 2 new weekly inspiring podcasts, teams daily walking classes, meditation walks, audio classes from top coaches, music choices for all and once you've crushed your goal you'll be sent a bracelet with the month's theme and who doesn't like bling?

-In order to achieve your goals it requires 3 things: 1- A Trigger 2- An Action 3- A Reward
