8. A Path to Connection, Purpose, and Joy with Jae Sanders Nurse Practitioner & Philanthropist

In this episode of Girlfriend’s Guide to Midlife podcast, I’m so excited to introduce you to my dear friend, Jae Sanders. She’s a 55-year-old nurse practitioner from Colorado Springs with an incredible story. Jae has been with her partner, Marie, for 17 years, and they’ve raised their amazing daughter, Ashley, who Jae adopted when she was just three years old.We chat about Jae’s journey—both professionally and personally. From starting her own bone health clinic to raising Ashley, she shares what it’s been like to navigate life’s highs and challenges.

We also dive into the topic of bone health (spoiler: it’s way more important than you might think!). Jae busts some common myths about osteoporosis, shares tips for prevention, and even explains how the pandemic has impacted bone health. And because Jae is someone who does it all, we talk about how she balances her career, her family, her health, and even her volunteer work. She’s got some beautiful insights about the importance of caring for yourself as a caregiver and why giving back is so enriching.

This conversation is packed with wisdom, inspiration, and practical tips. Whether you’re looking to learn more about bone health or just want to hear a really heartfelt, uplifting story, this episode is for you.
