💬 Episode 42: Ask Me Anything: GLP-1s, Daughter Wisdom & Real Midlife Talk

Jeannine Deramo Season 1 Episode 42

📺 This week, I’m doing something a little lighter in the middle of a very heavy world: a totally unscripted Q&A where I answer YOUR questions in real time.

🎙️We talk about what I’ve learned from each of my daughters, the difference between being present and just sharing the same room, where I’m really at with my GLP-1 journey, my favorite midlife beauty and self-care staples, simple ways to give back this season, and one story I’ve never fully shared on the show before: the year I was paralyzed from the neck down at 7 years old and what it taught me about resilience.

If you’re a busy midlife woman who’s tired of trying to do it all “perfectly” and just wants real talk about bodies, beauty, motherhood, giving back, and starting fresh in the new year…this one’s for you, friend. 🫶🏻

🔑 WHAT WE COVER:

➡ What I’ve learned from each of my three daughters (and how their ages shape it)
➡The powerful difference between being present and just sharing the same space
➡An honest update on my GLP-1 (Zepbound) journey—upsides, downsides, and why there’s no one-size-fits-all answer
➡My current favorite makeup, hair, skincare, fragrance, and why I still love cleaner beauty
➡Simple, meaningful ways to give back in your own community (and model your values for your kids)
➡A deeply personal story: being paralyzed at seven with Guillain-Barré syndrome and what it taught me about human resilience
➡How I’m thinking about the end of the year, gentle “resolutions,” and my upcoming Atomic Habits group coaching experience for midlife women

👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP:
Take 5–10 minutes to reflect on three things:
1️⃣ What you’re ready to leave behind from this year
2️⃣ What you want to carry forward into 2026
3️⃣One tiny, sustainable habit you’re willing to experiment with in January (no all-or-nothing resolutions allowed)

Write them down somewhere you’ll see them - your journal, Notes app, or even a post-it note on your bathroom mirror, so "Future You" has a gentler roadmap instead of another round of “new year, same burnout.”
