The Midlife Mentors
We’re The Midlife Mentors. Here to lift the lid on our no nonsense approach to midlife health and happiness.
As midlifers, we’re constantly told we need have it all figured out. But in fact most of us don’t.Our mission is not only to de-bust the crazy diet and fitness myths, but to empower and educate from an authentic and balanced perspective based on reality.
It’s time to step away from the madness we manifest in our attempts to attain goals that are unachievable, as we help you focus on the daily opportunities that redefine who and what you are, with the wisdom that comes with age.
