The journey from self-neglect to self-celebration is a transformative process for many women. It involves shifting from patterns of self-criticism and overextension to intentional self-care and recognition of one's inherent worth. This path often begins with awareness, challenging societal expectations that encourage women to prioritize others' needs above their own. Developing self-love and acceptance is crucial, as is learning to prioritize self-care beyond basic health maintenance.

In today's episode, I am joined by Joy Aveni, a Lifestyle Coach and Longevity Coach specializing in helping women make their "Act 2" the best yet using her Fabulous 50 Forward Framework. Joy, who is closer to 60 than 50, embodies her philosophy of adding more life to years, not just years to life.

She discusses the common struggles she observes in her clients, particularly the challenge of prioritizing self-care and celebrating small wins. Joy emphasizes the importance of developing a positive mindset and offers tools and resources to help women transition from patterns of self-criticism to intentional self-care. Tune in to discover how Joy's approach can help women embrace their inherent worth and create a more fulfilling life in their later years.
