As a former C-level executive, I always wondered why the higher I got on the corporate ladder, the fewer females seemed to be there with me. The answer, I think, is very simple.

When you increase your me...

" I am a pro-aging fitness enthusiast"  Is how my friend Gail Gensler describes herself.

Today can look different for all of us.  I hope, dear friend, that you remind yourself that having a happy day is not about the cards, the gifts, or even the actions of others.

Let's be honest; no one really talks about what happens when you reach "midlife." We all hear about having a "midlife crisis," but a lot of that can be blamed simply on lack of education as to what happens physically, mentally, and emotionally to us when we reach this stage in our lives. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way anymore! In this episode of Casa DeCo...
