  • The House of Rose: Creating Sanctuary for Midlife Women with Founder Terry

    The House of Rose: Creating Sanctuary for Midlife Women with Founder Terry
    Jul 8 2025
    Terry's transformation from overworked marketing agency owner to wellness retreat founder offers a roadmap for women navigating the confusing terrain of perimenopause and midlife health. At 37, while juggling motherhood and an 18-hour workday, Terry found herself 80 pounds overweight and developing serious health complications—pre-diabetes, anxiety attacks mistaken for heart problems, and mysterious ovarian cysts. What she didn't realize until five years later was that these symptoms coincided with early perimenopause, a revelation that came only after she had fully entered menopause at 42.

    The turning point arrived when a coach identified something surprising beneath Terry's physical symptoms: an undiagnosed eating disorder that had shaped her relationship with food throughout her life. This discovery launched a complete lifestyle overhaul focused not on restriction but on nourishment—eating more food with proper macronutrient timing, incorporating strength training, and addressing the emotional patterns driving her health challenges. To her surprise, her body "responded instantly" to these changes, demonstrating that midlife transformation doesn't require the punishing regimens often marketed to women.

    Today, Terry's House of Rose in Tennessee's Smoky Mountains hosts intimate retreats limited to just ten women, creating the perfect environment for deep connections that continue long after participants return home. These "girl gangs," as Terry affectionately calls them, provide ongoing support through shared workout photos, recipe exchanges, and even planning future adventures together. Beyond the physical setting, Terry offers online coaching that combines nutritional guidance with customized strength training programs, challenging myths about weightlifting making women "bulky" and instead emphasizing functional strength that supports women through hormonal changes.

    Whether you're just beginning to notice perimenopausal symptoms or well into your menopause journey, Terry's message resonates: midlife isn't the beginning of the end—it's simply the starting point for what could be your healthiest, most fulfilling years. Ready to transform your midlife story?

  • Your Vitality Coaching with Zoe

    Your Vitality Coaching with Zoe
    Jun 24 2025
    Burnout doesn't happen overnight—it's the culmination of pushing ourselves too hard for too long, masking problems until our bodies finally demand we stop. This wisdom comes from Zoe of YourVitalityCoaching.com, whose journey from high-powered policy work to holistic wellness coaching began with her own five-month battle with anxiety and depression.

    From Yorkshire, England, Zoe shares how the universe delivered a perfect irony: she was assigned to a mental health project at NHS England just before experiencing her own breakdown. This forced pause became transformative, revealing not only workplace stress but deeper issues she'd been avoiding, including an unhappy marriage. "We mask things because it's less painful than unpicking and dealing with them," she explains, "but at some point, it catches up."

    What makes Zoe's approach powerful is its accessibility. True wellness doesn't require complicated regimens or hours of practice. Three deep breaths can dramatically lower your heart rate after intense exercise. Visualizing roots growing from your feet into the earth for just two minutes can restore clarity amid chaos. These simple techniques trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, calming our bodies and minds while providing perspective.

    Her holistic offerings combine physical fitness with energy work—a crucial element often overlooked in Western health approaches. "If our subtle energy body is well, our physical body doesn't get sick," she notes. Her website features everything from cardio workouts to yin yoga, along with breathwork, meditation, and fascinating sound therapy using instruments tuned to 432Hz, the healing frequency. These sound waves help realign cellular frequencies, addressing imbalance wherever it's needed most.

    The beauty of Zoe's work lies in its personalization. Different bodies respond to different approaches, which is why she offers various modalities on a pay-what-you-can basis. Her free "7 Days to Calm Challenge" provides daily emails with simple practices anyone can implement immediately.

    Ready to transform your relationship with stress and reclaim your vitality? Visit YourVitalityCoaching.com and discover how small, intentional practices can create profound shifts in your wellbeing—physically, mentally, and energetically.

  • The Unstoppable 64-Year-Old: John Solleder on Veganism, Fitness, and Reinvention

    The Unstoppable 64-Year-Old: John Solleder on Veganism, Fitness, and Reinvention
    Jun 10 2025
    You can hear our mascot Toro panting...he just gets so excited...

    John Solleder shatters age stereotypes with every weight he lifts. Having just returned from a powerlifting competition where he benched 350 pounds at age 64, John embodies his core philosophy: "Don't let the old person in." This mindset has transformed not just his physical health but his entire approach to life's third chapter.

    During our enlightening conversation, John shares how he transitioned from meat-lover to vegetarian eight years ago after watching the documentary "Forks Over Knives." What began as a one-day experiment to alleviate joint pain evolved into a complete lifestyle transformation. Recently, John embraced raw veganism, resulting in not only significant weight loss (approximately 90 pounds over eight years) but also remarkable improvements in mental clarity and physical wellbeing. His nutritional journey goes beyond personal health benefits – it's deeply rooted in environmental sustainability and ethical considerations for animals as sentient beings.

    Perhaps most inspiring is John's commitment to continuous growth and adaptation throughout midlife. When COVID-19 derailed his plans to promote his newly published books through in-person events, he pivoted to podcasting despite having no prior experience. More recently, he embraced artificial intelligence technology, which opened unexpected business opportunities, including co-hosting the Top Doctor Magazine podcast. His story perfectly illustrates two principles essential for thriving in midlife: the willingness to pivot when circumstances change and maintaining the agility to embrace new ideas and technologies.

    John's journey proves that age truly is just a number when we refuse to let it define our limitations. His example offers invaluable inspiration for anyone navigating the changes in health, career, and purpose that come with midlife. Ready to challenge your own assumptions about aging? Listen now to discover how you might reinvent yourself, regardless of what your driver's license says.
