The Reshape Method® with Tracy Seider

If you are a woman who is experiencing chronic pain (hip, back, neck, etc.) or are trying to avoid it from ever occurring, you'll want to listen to this episode!
Join Joy & Lorraine as they chat with Tracy Seider, an Alignment & Exercise Specialist and creator of the Reshape Method®—an online program for women 40+ who are done dealing with nagging back, hip, and neck aches. She helps you feel great and age well without boring stretches, goofy gadgets, or relying on endless trips to the physio, chiro, or massage table.A former editor turned movement coach (because necessity is the mother of reinvention), Tracy knows firsthand what it's like to feel stuck in an achy, changing body. Now, at 55, she feels like she's aging backward—stronger, slimmer, ache-free, and more energized than she was a decade ago. And she's on a mission to help other women ditch the aches, move with ease, and redefine what midlife can look (and feel) like.
Some of the key topics of the discussion include:
So many women over 40 struggle with nagging aches and stiffness. Why does this happen, and why don't traditional solutions seem to work?
Many women over 40 are told to exercise more—walk 10,000 steps, do strength training, take yoga or Pilates. But what is the crucial first step that might be missing?
Why is alignment so important, and how does it play a role in fixing pain and even reshaping the body?
There's no shortage of workouts, stretches, and treatments. What makes the Reshape Method® different, and why does it actually work when so many other things don't?
What changes do women experience when they go through the Reshape Method®?
What are women's biggest mistakes when trying to fix their aches, get stronger, or stay in shape as they age?
For a woman who's dealing with stiffness and aches right now, what's one simple thing she can do today to start feeling better?

Zen In High Heels with Denise Evans

Joy & Lorraine had the pleasure of chatting with Denise Evans, author of Zen In High Heels.
If enlightenment seems unattainable in the reality of your already complicated, jam-packed life, Zen in High Heels will ignite in you the confidence to get started today! Any gnawing of discontent is your truth knocking on the door of your consciousness, looking to be expressed.
Zen in High Heels dispels the assertion that commitment to higher consciousness and spirituality requires one to leave behind material, or what we consider pleasurable aspects of today's lifestyle.  EVOLVED and FABULOUS are not mutually exclusive.
Denise K. Evans presents ancient wisdom blended with current self-help ideations in a way that feels accessible in the 21st Century. She lays out the principles in such a way for you to create a bridge between where you life is today and where you want it to be. 
She inspires us to get out of survival mode, and find our way to a more satisfying life.
Evans had all the trappings of the American dream: the education, financial success, material abundance, but remained unfulfilled. She knew there had to be MORE to life. She went from longing for inner peace, to finding it, and has a passion to share how she finally got the barrage of spiritual and personal growth information to make sense and stick in her own life!
She reminds us always to come back to ourselves for the answers that we seek. Her book Zen in High Heels serves as a practical guide, no matter where you are on your spiritual journey, to keep seeking and finding growth and inner peace!
In addition to her MBA, Denise is a mom, a writer, a speaker who has a love for travel and fitness! Follow her on Instagram: @ZenInHighHeels 
Some of the key topics of the discussion include:
How to find your way to peace with your Fabulousness in tact.
The Principles that will help you find your ZEN:
Meditation
Gratitude
Intention
Non-Attachment
Relationships
Love Your Body
Nourish & Nature
Fluidity
