Community, Fashion and Connection in Midlife with Lindsey Schwartz

Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill on January 2, 2024

If you look at the hierarchy of needs, connection and belonging is just above food, shelter, and clothing. Lindsey is a COMMUNITY powerhouse! She’s got a knack for pulling powerhouse women together and I think this is SO important for women in general, but definitely in midlife. I hear time and time again about how challenging it is for women to find community and connect with new friends. It can be so easy to fall into a victim cycle and play in your comfort zone. 

My Explant, Capsulectomy, and Lift! Meet My Surgeon Dr. Ricky Brown

Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill on December 26, 2023

Dr. Ricky Brown is a highly skilled plastic surgeon with over a decade of experience in his field. As an expert plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Brown is dedicated to helping others feel confident in their own skin.

There were a number of reasons why I chose Dr. Ricky Brown – he cared SO much, was super thorough and patient with me, this was his specialty, he had MY best interests in mind and at heart, I felt seen, heard, and understood – and more. Plus, maybe MOST importantly, he was the ONLY surgeon I consulted with who didn’t tell me I HAD to replace my implants…that actually, if I thought I ever might remove them, why not now?

Cortisol and Stress in Midlife with Keri Glassman

Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill on December 19, 2023

Cortisol often gets a really bad wrap as just the bad belly fat stress hormone. BUT…cortisol is NOT a bad thing. Cortisol is actually a good thing…when it’s controlled properly and is doing the job it is supposed to do. When you’re producing the right amount at the right times, cortisol can also improve our energy, acts as an anti-inflammatory, helps with memory, helps to manage blood sugar and blood pressure, helps decrease pain, and increases motivation. It also helps with our immune system and brain function.
