Confession. I’m going through menopause, but honestly...I don’t want to talk about it all the time. The ‘menopause noise’ is real, and I know what you’re thinking, Alanna you’re part of that noise. Guilty! I am. I know this. But some days I’m over hearing about all the things. You?

While I’m thankful it’s a conversation that’s happening and needed it still overstimulates the snot out of me.

@ginalivy and I discuss the overwhelm of menopause and the lack of context in the conversations we’re having. I also created a menopause worksheet where you can create your own menopause vision statement. Think of it as your menopause vision board but it’s just one clear sentence. Cut the noise and simplify your menopause journey. Link for more information in my bio.

I am a resident sleep expert in the @livylosers community educating on sleep health and her Fall #LivyMethod program that has helped thousands of men and women lose weight and create a better relationship with food, starts September 8th. Link for more information on the program in the show notes.

I started the #livymethod and became a @livylosers in September 2021. It was a journey I was so thankful for and continue to be. Now, since 2022, I am a resident expert in her community educating on sleep health and consider this amazing woman a friend. On this week’s episode of @thebedtimeedit the tables turn and I interview @ginalivy. We speak about her program that has helped thousands of men and women lose weight and create a better relationship with food. She has a new program starting September 8th.

But what I loved about this episode is that it was just two friends, mom’s, and business owners, who talked about life. We shared how we both grew our business’s as moms and how that experience shaped our journey of raising young children, and now our feelings as our kids are getting older and leaving the house. We talked about mom guilt, and yes, there were tears. We discussed being business owners and how our definition of success has changed now that we are in midlife, and our wants and drive are different.

This episode shares a side of Gina you may not know and I was so honoured and touched that she shared all she did and I truly think so many of you will resonate with all we talked about. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed hosting it.

To wrap season one and give both parents and students something to think about over the summer, I welcomed learning strategist Dr. Deena Kara Shaffer (@awakenedlearning) and my daughter, to discuss the emotional and academic challenges students (and their parents) face while transitioning to university. Dr. Schaefer provides practical tools and resources to help both students and parents navigate this significant life change, emphasizing the importance of connection, independence, supportive tools and self-care.

This is a must listen! Listen yourself and listen with your child. You both will walk away with information you didn’t even know you needed and will be so thankful to have. Link to the full episode in my bio and links to all apps the Dr. Shaffer mentions are in the show notes. Listen to The Bedtime Edit wherever you download podcasts.

A new episode of the Bedtime Edit podcast is out and I’m tackling one of the main culprits that keeps us up at night during our midlife.

Finances.

I’m joined by guests Daniela DeGasperis and @ericaehm, from the @ddm.group. Together we explore the importance of financial literacy, the need for open dialogue about finances in relationships and how to bridge those conversations, the empowerment of women to take control of their financial futures, and the significance of proactive financial planning.

I share my own financial literacy struggles during my divorce that I think many midlife women, whether you’re going through divorce or not in midlife can relate to.

We discuss the unique approach of DDM Group in wealth management, and the importance of financial education, and need for women to take charge of their financial futures. The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by entrepreneurs and the significance of having a holistic approach to financial planning.

If finances are keeping you up at night during your midlife and as a woman you are ready to take control over your personal finances, this is an episode you want to listen to.

I spoke about it and my dear friend Kathie offers her suggestions and insight to help me and you let sh*t go during our midlife.

First Live podcast recording in the books! This week’s episode of @thebedtimeedit I sat down with my friend, @chic_mamma - host of #notthatmom - and got caught up on life and shared loads. This was such a fun experience and so happy I got to do it with Pina. You can listen to the full episode anywhere you download podcasts or through the link in my bio. Also 😂 still laughing at our similar triggers we spoke about in the last slide.

Big thank you to @thenicklawrence for being the only man in the audience and coming to show his support. He won the whole room with his kindness and laugh as he always does ❤️❤️

There is a new episode of @thebedtimeedit everywhere where you download podcasts and I have an amazing conversation with Caroline Barrett, a recovery coach (@soberme.ca). Caroline shared her journey to sobriety and why so many women in midlife are choosing to get sober. She shared tips and strategies you don’t want to miss on how to handle those first few weeks of getting sober, how drinking affects sleep, and we chatted about ‘sober curious’ and how this generation views drinking differently then we did. Listen to the full episode in the link in my bio.
