The Midlife Improvement Project - Navigating the challenges and adventures of Midlife on the way to an even better you.

In Episode 112, Jenny and I branch out from talking about building good habits and explore some tips and strategies to for breaking bad habits.

In Episode 111, we discuss the concept that outer order contributes to inner calm, which is some wisdom we gained from our online pretend best friend Gretchen Rubin.

In episode 110 we discuss a quote from our online pretend best friend, James Clear. The quote is this "the cost of your good habits is in the present, the cost of your bad habits is in the future".

In Episode 109 we discuss the role of friends and family in shaping our habits. We assume that our behaviour and habits are all a reflection of our self control or discipline, but do you ever consider the impact of the people around you?

In Episode 108 which is our second Summer Shorts episode we explore this concept: Motivation is overrated. Environment often matters more.

Episode 107 of The Improvement Project is the first episode of our "Summer Shorts" shorter summer episodes. Today we want to remind you that small habits, done consistently make a big difference.

In episode 106 of The Improvement Project, we are catching up with our Scottish friends Dave and Sean from the other Improvement Project Podcast to see how they are doing with their habits during the pandemic.

In Episode 105 we are going to discuss the concept of motion vs action and we are also going to wrap up our June Exercise challenge.

In Episode 104 we discuss progress vs perfection. We also check in with each other to see how the June exercise/movement challenge is going.

On Episode 103 Tommy Caldwell joins us again to discuss some strategies for improving your healthy habits during lockdown. This is especially relevant as we work through our 30 Day June Movement/Exercise challenge.

In Episode 102, we are doing a June Exercise Challenge check in. We challenged each other, and you to get moving everyday in June for 20-30 minutes.

In Episode 101 we have decided that it's time for another habits challenge.  We are going to get exercising/moving every day in June for at least 20 minutes and we hope that you will join us!

We are celebrating 100 episodes of The Improvement Project podcast! We are going to take a look back at our first 100 episodes and review where we were, and how far we've come. We share some kind words from listeners as well.

Jenny started singing the 99 problems song last week. It's a bit of an ear worm and as it wiggled into my brain...I started thinking about problems.  So in episode 99, we discuss problems and how we can shift our perspective about the pandemic

In Episode 98, we remind you that gratitude is your superpower especially when it feels like everything sucks. We have so much to be thankful for!

In Episode 97, we are going to revisit the words that each of us chose as our guideposts for the year 2020. They might not have the same meaning now as when we chose them, so we look back and see how they apply... or don't apply to this new normal.

In Episode 95, we discuss the fact that it's okay if you're not working on improvement during the coronavirus. There are some very manageable ways we can release the pressure of the unrealistic expectations to 'improve' in a very difficult time.

In Episode 94, we offer some tips to stay connected during this time of social distancing. Social distancing doesn't mean you need to distance yourself from people emotionally. In fact, connecting with others is more important now than ever.

In Episode 93 I'm going to share 6 things you can do to feel more in control in these strange days.  I share some thoughts on what may be helpful to keep you feeling calm and sane and in control when things in the world feel pretty out of control.

In episode 92 (recorded before the world got weird), we discuss some of the common questions that may be helpful to ask yourself as you are decluttering and playing the MinsGame. Distract yourself from current events and clean out a closet or two.

In episode 91, we discuss habits for coping during the coronavirus pandemic. We share some ideas and habits that will help you calm anxiety, take care of yourself and your family and control what you can as you navigate fear and change.

In episode 90, we are undertaking another decluttering round of the MinsGame. It's springtime and that means it's time for us to talk about spring cleaning, decluttering and clearing out the old energy of winter with a decluttering game.

In Episode 89, we celebrate International Women's Day by chatting with an amazing woman Jayme Henderson. Jayme is a Registered Massage Therapist, Yoga teacher + entrepreneur. She is also the creator of GUTSY, a program for girls.
