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. Over 80 percent of us fail to achieve our annual resolutions.  By choosing words for the year, you become more intentional about how you want to live your life, which in turn helps you be more successful in reaching your goals. 

Meditation benefits aren’t just a theory. The benefits manifest in practice. Invite the healing prana, that healing breath, into every cell of your being while you practice. Your mantra is the sound of the breath going in and out through the nose. Our practice isn’t done, the more you begin to be still with yourself and move, you will intuitively begin to trust yourself.

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. How we experience that grief is personal, and it’s easy to fall into a trap of ranking our suffering compared to someone else’s. We have to allow ourselves to feel it, so we can heal it.

Can we be both feminine and formidable in today’s world? Can we find that unique balance between grit and grace? We spoke to Sasha K. Shillcutt, MD, author of Between Grit and Grace: The Art of Being Feminine and Formidable. Read about why spending time along is critical and discover the two critical things that must happen for women to have an equal seat at the table.

Once women reach menopause their risk for cardiovascular disease is equal to the risk for men. Women need to take action now to care for their hearts as they age to feel their best and reduce risk.

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death in women. We don't talk as much as we should about how women's heart health research is 35 years behind that of men. Or, how our symptoms are often not taken seriously. We want to help change the narrative around women and heart disease. It all starts here with a conversation with Courtney Jordan Baechler MD, MS.

The reality is that to flourish after 50 healthful eating matters. In this post, we review the book, The Menopause Diet Plan written by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Hillary Wright and Elizabeth Ward, which outlines a pattern of eating to help you manage your weight, feel better, and reduce disease risk as you age.

At Rumblings, we worked hard to ensure our Four Rocks to Flourish After 50 foundational principles followed the latest science, as well as, aligned with what we were hearing from other women. During a recent family health crisis, the Rocks were put to a test and found to be key in helping to navigate a challenging time.

Together women over 50 need to disrupt the status quo that aging women are irrelevant, unattractive, less deserving, and invisible compared to our younger selves. As we work together to magnify our voices and rumble, we will create a movement for a transformative change.

Research has shown the health and wellbeing benefits of meals shared with family and friends. Stop, slow down, connect, and reap the benefits by coming around the table for conversation and nourishment. It's good for your mind, body, and soul.

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.
