Today my guest is Tami Edwards. She is a woman I met online and know that we would have become friends if we had ever met in person.

She is 58 years old and retired from her 34-year career as an educator one year ago and now works her own online business with Nu Skin. She helps women to look and feel their best as they age. Nu Skin's motto is "all the good, not the bad" so the products are made from all plant-based ingredients.

In her younger years, she taught Jazzercise. She worked out to look good and has always struggled with food cravings. She even gained 20+ pounds when going thru menopause; however, she worked with a hormone specialist and was able to drop the extra weight.

Now she works out to stay healthy and strong - not to look good but to function well. She is very active and wants to keep doing this as long as possible. In her own words, she says that she wants to be independent and "not need someone to help me get off the toilet" in her later years. Her and her husband love to be outside - she calls it her therapy. Nature recharges her.

She exercises for only 30 minutes 4-5 times per week. She eats healthy and follows an 80/20 rule - healthy food 80% of the time and 20% treats.

Her purpose in life is two-fold:

1. Family

2. To be a source of joy and positivity in the world - she wants to help others.

Her social media posts are inspirational so I would encourage everyone needing a bit of motivation to follow her.
