Change Your Life and Share Your Story With Julie Lokun

In today's episode, we delve into the complexities of life's challenges and the importance of knowing you're not alone. I share some profound realizations I've had recently, emphasizing the value of having a coach, therapist, or impartial confidant to navigate life's twists and turns, big or small.
Even those seemingly trivial issues can weigh heavily on us, impacting our daily narratives and self-perception. We often find ourselves battling our inner demons, especially during certain stages of life or under external pressures like hormonal shifts or dreary weather.
Reflecting on past joys, I realize the need to break free from unhealthy c
oping mechanisms, like escaping into Netflix binges, and instead seek genuine connections and community interactions. This realization is a cathartic journey, acknowledging that while my struggles may not be as severe as others', they are still valid and worth sharing.
I aspire to be a beacon of strength and positivity for others, but honesty compels me to admit my own struggles. Suppressing emotions only perpetuates isolation, hindering the potential for empathy and understanding among us all.
So, let's embrace the power of storytelling, both internally and externally. Let's challenge the facade of perfection and encourage authenticity. Because it's through these shared experiences and vulnerabilities that we truly connect and find solace in our shared humanity.We want to know who you are obsessed with--Watch Us LIVE on YouTube Every Monday - @obsessedpodcast

Stop Aging. Start Anti Aging and Becoming The Best Version of YOURSELF!
t 45, it is said, women begin to loose a marketable quality in relationships and in their careers. The number 45 has become the demarcation between youthful vigor and gradual decline. The Invisible Woman Syndrome pinpoints this year as the marker of when we start to see the affects of aging and slowly fade into the corner.
On February 2nd, 2020 it was a sequin studded moment of happenstance that the Invisible Woman Syndrome was graced with a new poster child. It was with choreographed precision produced by the Jennifer Lopez Team that millions gasped and knew our half-time as women could not be ignored. , Her performance was a prolific statement oozing in decadence and packaged with jaw dropping sexual bravado. J.LO orbited the pole on Super Bowl Sunday to be met with quiet admiration from ladies like myself as we witnessed a tiny crack in the collective attitude towards aging.
With a leader like Jennifer Lopez at the helm we are equally bombarded with counter intuitive messages that our 50's shall be relegated to a space of decreased sexual appeal, decreased professional importance and a rapid influx of health issues . And leading the way are advertisers like Osteo Bi-Flex. @ostebi-flex #osteobiflex
Marketing our Invisibility to the Masses. How 52 is marketed by Osteo Bi-Flex:
She is the main character in an advertisement for a joint relief supplement (pictured above). She is visibly aged with long grey hair and costumed in an evergreen uniform of khakis and a practical cardigan. With the numbers 52 blazing on the screen you become acutely aware that this number represents the effort of a major corporation who capitalizes on further propagating the stereotype of the Invisible Woman. To be fair, this 52 year old woman looks happy- relishing her spinsterhood. However, behind the smile is a dedicated marketing machine pedaling a message of mid-century malaise. It is a message that has been solidified and sold to the masses that our relevance in society diminishes at a rapid rate as we enter our fifth decade.
