60: MASTERCLASS - Jenn Reed on Fit in your 50s and Beyond

"Building muscle is key. It's the organ of longevity; we need it." - Jenn Reed

As a midlife woman going through menopause, Jenn Reed faced the same challenges many women have to navigate and lost her sense of self. In trying to figure out what she wanted to do with the next phase of her life, she found her passion for fitness and started sharing her journey on Instagram.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Jenn to the podcast to talk about age positivity and makeup and fitness for mature women. We discuss the importance of fitness and self-confidence for women over 50, how social media affects women's perception of themselves, how the right makeup can enhance natural beauty for mature women, Jenn's experience with hormone replacement therapy, how you can get started on your fitness journey, and more.

Jenn is a fantastic person to connect with for information and practical tips for women in midlife. I highly recommend following her, and I think you'll learn a lot. Enjoy the episode!
