As we step into October, it's essential to recognize that this month is not just about embracing the autumnal hues and cozy sweaters; it's also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer remains a formidable adversary, accounting for 30 percent of new female cancer cases yearly. According to the American Cancer Society, by the end of 2023, it's estimated that there will be approximately 297,790 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in the United States.
Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. However, the silver lining is that rates have steadily declined since 1989. There has been an overall decrease of 43 percent in breast cancer cases through 2020. This is a testament to our progress but underscores the importance of continued efforts to drive these numbers even lower.
There are several things you can do to improve your health and reduce your risk for breast cancer.

What exactly is the difference between being physically active and exercising? Which is better for us for a sustainable lifestyle approach as we age?
Most of us have been told over the years that we need to participate in structured fitness programs - mainly cardiovascular or aerobic. For many, that means attending a class, getting on a cardio machine, running, or biking.
The truth is, physical activity and fitness aren’t all-or-nothing propositions. And doing one doesn’t negate the benefit of the other. The real trick is to find ways to incorporate physical activity throughout our day, every day, with or without a regular exercise routine.
As we age, we tend to get less and less physical activity and exercise. And, most of us know that exercising and being physically active has health benefits.
Research shows that adults who weren’t active until later in life - after 50 - have an almost equal reduction in risk for disease and early death than adults who were always active.
Continue your active lifestyle if you already have a routine, but remember it’s never too late to start being active or exercising. Making changes, no matter your age, can help add quality years to your life!
We can shape the future of societal norms surrounding aging, particularly in women. We can demonstrate by example that our worth as we age is not defined by unrealistic and unattainable superficial beauty standards any more than it should be for our younger daughters, granddaughters, and nieces.
We don’t have to accept aging trends focused on how we look, how we dress, our skincare, and our makeup routines. We can age by design, in our way, as we choose.
Motivation for volunteering changes over time. Many women, after 50, start seeking a more fulfilling way to contribute and desire to have a true sense of purpose and meaning which volunteering can often fulfill.
Spring is here! The days are growing warmer, longer, the birds are singing, and nature is awakening after a very long winter. Many women have been telling us they are emotionally exhausted - the fatigue comes from caring too much for too long. They’re feeling burned out after the heaviness and struggles of this past year. We feel it too. Let’s appreciate all we’ve been through and all we have learned about ourselves. It’s all helped us grow. Let’s look to the future and plan more fun and festive activities to do TOGETHER with friends and loved ones!
For many of us, reaching 50 was the moment we asked if there was more to life or wondered if we had a purpose beyond family and work. It's not that we don't love our children, careers, or our families. We have a rumbling that there might be more for us individually in the next half of life. We can use practical tips, tools, and techniques to rethink our rhythm for living well after 50 and managing messy, midlife transitions.
Many women after 50 feel burnt out, stressed, tired of the external pressures, and ready to make a change. But, they’re uncertain how to make work and life transitions at this age. Successful transitions are possible. Reset your mindset, to view them for what they are - exciting. You’re never too old to dream big and take the steps necessary to achieve your goals.
We all have the capacity to be fluid or fixed in our mindset. The growth path is to adapt to certain situations - to allow ourselves to be moved or changed due to our environment, experiences, and creative process. A fluid mindset creates new brain pathways leading to success, improves creativity, and helps growth, which will enable us to deal with the uncertainty ahead. At Rumblings, we believe our prime time and our best accomplishments are still ahead of us. To achieve our goals and make our dreams a reality, abundance, growth, and infinite mindsets are critical.
By uncovering your unconscious biases, you can reshape your perspectives, decisions, and behaviors.

We now have evidence that the brain is malleable. What this means is by learning new skills, changing current behaviors, and modifying lifelong habits for better health, you can halt cognitive decline as you age — even into your later years.

The one to three word(s) practice helps you be intentional about the upcoming year and can also help you break the cycle of unfulfilled New Year’s resolutions.

You know that feeling you can’t shake? It’s grief. Every single one of us has lost something, and each of us will be forever changed by 2020.

I’ve reset my mindset. Instead of thinking that the creation of lifelong memories requires lots of travel and big events, I’ve come to the awareness that our real lives are lived in between the cracks of those big events.
We’ve spent decades talking to women who are struggling with the same unrealistic standards of staying young, fit, and winkle-free. During this time, we’ve listened and heard women, from every walk of life, describe feeling undervalued, invisible, and less confident as they’ve grown older. When we turned 50, we started to share similar feelings. We quickly realized that this had to change. Women needed science-based effective tools and resources to guide them in aging well.
