Belong Wellness: Where Smart and Sassy Midlife Wom 3f571o

Have you ever questioned if you are in the right career? Or dreamed of what it would be like to turn one of your ions into your profession? If so, this episode will resonate with you.  My dear friend, Catherine Ziegler, shares her personal journey of leaving her career in the wine industry and opening a fitness studio in her early 40s. Within weeks of opening her doors she separated from her husband. Two months later the pandemic hit. To say she persevered through incredible obstacles is an understatement.  Hear how she chose herself, even when it meant disappointing others, and how choosing to follow her heart has led her back to herself.   Notes: The Studio Healdsburg website and Instagram The book Jessica mentions is Untamed by Glennon Doyle.

In the inaugural episode of the Belong Wellness Podcast, I share my personal journey from a corporate career in digital marketing to becoming a fitness instructor, studio owner and eventually a health coach specializing in midlife women’s wellness.  My story includes a cross-country move with a suitcase and no plan, feeling confined in a corporate career that no longer suited me, a massive career pivot at 35, a feeling of loss of identity after selling my business and becoming a mother, and my path back to myself that started while pregnant during the pandemic.  Can you relate??

Hello, my friend and welcome to the Belong Wellness podcast! I am your host, Jessica Long.  I am a midlife woman currently riding the freight train off a cliff that is perimenopause all while raising two small children, attempting to be a decent wife and trying to run a small business.  I’m a corporate marketing professional turned fitness studio owner turned health coach specializing in midlife women’s hormone health. Clearly, I love a career pivot and entrepreneurship. And, I am fascinated with understanding my body and making intelligent decisions when it comes to my nutrition and lifestyle so I can feel my best, or honestly, just feel like myself again, which is my current goal.  Each week I will share my own personal stories of how I navigate this wild stage of life. I will also bring in guests to share their incredible stories of bravery, resilience and badassery. My hope is that as you listen you feel inspired to make positive changes in your life that help you feel like yourself again and show this stage of life who’s boss.  So, if you are a midlife woman who can relate to the struggles of perimenopause, parenting, aging parents, evolving relationships and the desire for more from your career, you belong here.  Grab your giant water bottle, snap on your weighted vest, and let’s get to it.  Oh, and, while you’re at it, click follow or subscribe so I don’t feel like I’m talking to myself.  I want to hear from you.
