Picture this. You wake up in the morning with the sun shining through your window. You get up for the day, give a big stretch, and then head on over to your closet or dresser to pick out clothes for the day. When you look inside, how does that make you feel?

Are you excited by the options there? Or does the idea of getting dressed make you want to stay in your pajamas all day?

There’s a secret to a good wardrobe, and it’s that having clothes that make you feel like YOU, in turn, make you feel more alive. They’re mood boosters that can affect your outlook on life and influence your entire day. 

After menopause and all your body changes, looking in the closet might be intimidating and stressful. You might not like how your clothes fit, or they may no longer represent who you are as a person. If you want to feel good on the inside, you have to like the way you look on the outside. So let’s calm your wardrobe fears.  

As...

If you don’t recognize who you are in the mirror, read this.

I’m talking to you, the woman who went through menopause and came out the other side not knowing who she had become.

The hormones and changes left you feeling like a stranger in your own body.

It may have introduced health challenges you’re still dealing with. 

You feel reclusive, full of anxiety, and trapped in your loneliness. 

And maybe there’s some heartbreak mixed in there, too.  

I know where you’ve been and how terrible it can feel as you go through this phase of life, where you need to rediscover who you are. You’re in need of a confidence boost, self-love, and real support from someone who has gotten through to the other side. 

That’s exactly why I’ve created my Oola Coaching.

As a certified health and wellness expert, I specialize in helping women over 50 reignite that missing spark and get their...

When motivation fails, what reasons do you have to get up and change your life for the better?

So many times as women, we’ve spent years taking care of other people. Our kids, spouse, parents, co-workers, you name it have all needed us in some capacity. Many of us learned how to push our needs aside to focus on others. 

Now that you’re over 50, I have to ask you…if you don’t put yourself now, when will you do it? 

Sometimes we need help identifying motivators to get us to take charge of our lives and start living for ourselves because we’re so used to telling ourselves no. 

Today I’m sharing my Big Sister love with you and giving you five motivators to make change so you can live a happier, healthier, and more zesty life.  

1. Grandkids. So many of us have dreamed of becoming grandmas, so we have to make sure we can show up with as much energy as we can to enjoy our time with them. 
2. ...

The clothes you wear directly impact your mental health as a woman over 50. 

Why? Because when you hit your menopausal and postmenopausal years, you’re going through a life change that affects your body and mind. To love the body you’re in, even as it changes, you want to choose clothes that compliment you and make you feel good!

We’re often told that at a certain age, we’re supposed to wear dull, conservative clothing. But women of all ages are allowed to embrace all sorts of clothing.

Here are six empowering tips regarding clothing for you:

1. Dress for your body and style: Every woman has a unique body shape and personal style. By dressing in clothes that flatter your body type and reflect your personality, you can feel more confident and empowered.
2. Invest in quality pieces: Investing in well-made, timeless pieces can help you build a versatile wardrobe that you can feel confident and comfortable in. This can include classic pieces such as...

Let’s talk about your bucket list. What’s on it?

You may have dreams of traveling around the world, or spending more time with friends, or taking a yearly vacation with your family.

The issue with bucket lists is a lot of people write them out and then don’t use them!

A bucket list isn’t meant to be all of the things you think you can never do, but an outline of what you want so you can take action to hit your goals. 

Aging gracefully is about embracing life and all the experiences it has to offer. As a woman over 50, you have the wisdom, experience, and freedom to make the most of your life. Completing your bucket list is an essential part of living your life to the fullest. Here are some compelling reasons why you should tackle your bucket list now:

1. Personal growth
2. Fulfilling long-held dreams
3. Discovering new passions
4. Creating Lasting Memories
5. Improved health and wellbeing
6. Inspiring family and friends

Here are some tips to help you get dressed...

Where before you could fly through your to-do list and still have the evening to do the things you love…you might feel like you’re ready to go to bed halfway through the day.

Hormones play a big role in our energy, and as they shift and change during menopause, women often feel more fatigued. But this doesn’t mean you’ve lost all the pep in your step!

Let’s get your energy back up. Below are tips to help you reignite your energy and give you a boost, so you can keep doing what you love and then some.

1. Go to bed and get up around the same time each day with natural light.

2. Have a morning routine and stick to it. Try journaling, meditating, and practicing gratitude affirmations.

3. Do 5 minutes of exercise, 5 different exercises and cycle through them once daily.

4. Drink lots of water. Start the day with a big glass of warm lemon water. A 150 lb woman needs 100 oz of water daily.

5. Eat 5 small meals and include plenty of protein.

It takes a lot of strength to realize that you need to make changes for yourself to live healthier and happier. But how can you tell the difference between a rough patch and a need to revitalize your life?

We all go through periods of darkness. Ups and downs are a natural part of life, and in your mature years you’ve had your fair share of them.

Because you’re used to this, it makes it easy to tell yourself things will get better one day, when what you REALLY need to do is put in the work to make sure you can find the light on the other side. Not everything changes on its own! Are you finding this time has left you feeling a bit disconnected? Is it time to find more self-love? Is it time to find some help to guide you in rewilding your life? 

Here are 6 signs that you’re in need of a change.

1. You feel self-critical. 

2. You don't honor your achievements.
   

3. You are having difficulty creating a routine of self-care. 

4. You feel anxious and...

If you want to make a change in your life, how do you know where to start?

It’s easy to identify that you’re unhappy, but it isn’t as simple to figure out what’s wrong. You might have bits and pieces of things that you know are contributing to your unhappiness, but you don’t know how to begin to address them.

One of the ways that I like to evaluate where life changes need to happen is to take what I call a Zest Assessment. I look at the eight areas of life and identify if any of them are out of balance, and then take steps to change them.

Today I’d like to share those eight areas of life with you, so you can ask yourself which ones are most out of balance. 

1. Home environment - Are you happy where you live? Does your space bring you joy?
    

2. Career - Does your job fulfill you? Do you get along with your coworkers?
    

3. Money - Are you happy with your income? Do you feel like you should be earning more?
    

4. Health -...
