They say life begins at 40, but no one ever tells you why. Is it just a comforting cliche to soften the sting of aging? Or is there something real behind it? Spoiler: there is. Something does shift around this time. And there’s a reason why—a reason why your 40s tend to crack your life […]
Yesterday I wrote a post called Stress Relief For Moms in 60 Seconds Flat. The rationale: moms typically have stupid amounts of stress. But also: no time. Sure, it would be great to decompress on a regular basis with standing appointments at the spa, daily trips to the yoga studio, etcetera. But who has the time for […]

A study came out in the September online issue of Preventive Medicine showing that 2.5 to 7.5 hours of exercise each week is good for your mental health. No surprises there, right? But, in the study population (of over 7,500 adults), people who exercised more than 7.5 hours a week had a dramatic increase in symptoms of […]

(A re-run of one of my fave topics…) Do you eat for comfort? If we’re honest, most of us could say yes to this question. The RARE indulgence (say, for example, a nose-dive into a pint of Haagen-Dazs dulce de leche in front of an open freezer door after ending a 4.5-year-long toxic relationship with a total narcissist and cat-hater…ahem…) is […]

Feeling “tired all the time” is a modern-day plague. It’s rare that I meet someone who doesn’t describe this feeling. Seriously. So what’s up with that? Well, I have some thoughts. And on my Yummy Mummy Club blog I’ve broken down 10 über-common reasons for that feeling of fatigue. You can read all about them, here, and […]

First, an announcement: I recently started a new blog…over at kimfosterwrites.com. And the main reason for that: I have a book deal! *pops champagne* For a long time I’ve been a closet novelist. I’m talking years of scribbling away and inhabiting the imaginary worlds of my brain. At long last, just this past July, my agent landed […]

An anti-inflammatory lifestyle has become something of an obsession for me. It was thrust upon me, really, after a health incident that caused me to take a very hard look at my own lifestyle. Chronic inflammation is at the root of many of our disease processes, as we’re only just beginning to understand. I blogged about […]

A recent study showed that people in their 40s with a wide circle of friends have a greater sense of well-being than those without close friendships. (As a side note, the researchers behind this study are calling these ages “mid-life” which, PS, people: I staunchly refuse to do. Hovering, as I am, close to 40 I will probably […]

A very interesting report was published recently about the power of the mind-body connection (something I’m a big believer in). You’ve probably heard about the placebo effect: the fact that some patients will feel better on a medication, even if there’s no active ingredient–a phenomenon that provides strong evidence for the mind-body connection. But the dark side of the placebo […]

I have long maintained that stress is a major, under-recognized trigger for illness and unwell. I have little doubt that stress contributed to my own health crisis. And now, an important study has come out validating that connection. The study was published this week in the British Medical Journal. It was a large study, looking at […]

You’ve done everything you were supposed to. You’ve got the degree, built the career, checked every box. So why does your life feel… off? If you feel stuck right now, like you’re going through the motions of a life that no longer fits, know that you’re not alone. I’ve felt that too. I was a […]

You’re doing all the right things—Waking up early, writing in your journal, blocking every hour in your calendar. From the outside, it looks like you’ve mastered the art of personal growth. But on the inside, you’re exhausted. Despite all your efforts… you’re not getting where you want to go. I’ve seen this countless times. As […]

You might think acting is all about pretending. I used to believe that, too. But when I walked into my first acting class, expecting to polish up my on-camera presence, I discovered something entirely different. Acting school didn’t teach me how to fake it. It taught me how to stop hiding. And after years of […]

I used to think I just needed to hustle harder, wake up earlier, cram more in, and push through. But no matter what I tried, I was still drowning in to-do lists and constantly playing catch-up. I watched other people breeze through their days with time to spare while I was barely holding it together. […]
