I happen to be reading this on your birthday Daria, so I hope you are having a ball celebrating! Wishing you many more happy and healthy ones.
We have the way we view birthdays and aging very much in common. I hope the big kid in me never stops.
Your comment about having your Medicare card really resonates with me because like you, it's the one thing that keeps me doing a day job too. It's amazing how securing that makes me wish I was older!
I've actually been after Wellcoaches and the NBC-HWC for some time to use their numbers and power to make good, affordable health insurance available to us coaches and so far I've been told politely, it's not a priority.
What does it say when the leading coaching certifying orgs let those who help othets be their healthiest remain shackled to an employer or go without something that's essential to their own health?
The health insurance issue is a real one. Even bar associations don’t have affordable heath insurance for individual members. But your right, some of these large organizations should make that a priority. Especially health coaching. You’d think it would be a priority for those organizations and certifying bodies. It’s truly liberating!
You understand exactly what I'm talking about Julianne! 😊 I can see how that would be difficult for both mother and daughter. And yes—every birthday is a milestone in my book.
What a great post. Inspiring. I love when you said you "relaunched". Keep posting on Substack - I really enjoyed reading your posts. You always have interesting info to share - and of course I like your science references. Happy birthday!
In one of my classes in grad school we studied a paper on something called the illusory optimist - people who believed things were going to improve in spite of facing impossible odds. The upshot? Illusory optimists lived longer and happier lives...

Anyway, I'll get there eventually.
Enjoy your freedom!
Thank you for the birthday wishes Melanie!

Happy Birthday tomorrow, Daria!! Have a great new year. I love b-days, too. Mine was earlier this month. Enjoy!
Thank you Jeanine! Happy belated birthday! We’re still in the month of June. If you’re like me, I treat June as my birthday month. :)
Happy Birthday!
I had my daughter ON Mother’s Day and it was never fun for either of us. Totally agree with every birthday being a milestone.

Happy birthday! And I feel the same way about aging.
Thank you Christine! And may we both live long, healthy lives rooted in our positive mindset.

The research on this is so compelling! Good reason to not turn into a Debbie Downer. Thank you for sharing this Betty.
Happy birthday! 🎊
Thank you for the birthday wishes Jeanne!
Happy birthday Daria! 🥳
And welcome to Medicare. The freedom of having health coverage is empowering indeed!
Thank you Cara. It’s amazing how liberating it is.
