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.

The Power of Walking in Midlife with Joyce Shulman

Feb 9, 2020

“It’s not about finding the time. It’s about making the time.” 

 

Do you put others in front of your health? Walking will not only improve your physical health it will improve your mental health. In today’s episode I’m joined by Joyce Shulman Founder of “Macaroni Kids.” After interacting with millions of moms she noticed a common theme, women were suffering from poor fitness and having a loneliness crisis. This lead her on a mission to get a million women walking and the creation of 99Walks.

SHOW NOTES

·      Joyce learned from her earlier entrepreneur projects that didn’t succeed, sometimes you have to reach bottom to be able to have your mind and heart open to opportunities that will come your way. You just have to see them!

·      Her newest venture 99Walks is on a mission to get 1 million women walking. 

·      While she was working at the company she founded “Macaroni Kids” she noticed a reoccurring theme that millions of moms she interacted with were suffering from poor fitness and were having a loneliness crisis. 

·      Walking helps build a community and improves women’s mental health. 

·      99 Walks has a monthly challenge of walking 33 miles per month. 

·      Studies have found that intentionally walking will have mental and emotional benefits. It boosts your mood, combats depression and fuels creativity.

·      One of the many perks you get for joining 99 Walks is an inspirational bracelet for achieving your goal. 

·      There are also several tools for walking to use on the app i.e. daily classes, mediations, music and Joyce’s podcast. 

·      We’re build to walk so lace up whatever shoes you’re wearing and get outside!

·      Walking also helps with your children’s moods as well. If they come home from school upset it’s often works to have them take a walk around the block and then talk about whatever is bothering them. 

·      Walking is also a gateway to help you start moving more.
