More women are becoming moms later in life than ever before and the rate of women over 40 having children continues to rise. This show is designed just for mid-life mammas...to give you some perspective on how to address body image and weight challenges.

Join me Real Women on Health! in a new series, Mid-Life Mammas, which will take place on Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm - the first one will be on September 17th called "Baby, Body and Beyond".

This on-line health salon and radio show is for women over 40 who've just had their first or second baby and will be led by a top flight women's wellness coach, Michelle Segar, PhD.

Daughters Caring for Aging Dads: Join our On-Line Show

Grab your morning coffee and join us live and on-line for our next Real Women on Health! on-line health salon and radio show, to hear the story of how one woman cared for her aging dad.

We often think of taking care of our aging moms, as they outlive dad by seven or more years. However, I have invited best selling author, Janis Spring, PHD, who is a nationally acclaimed expert on issues of trust, intimacy, and forgiveness to talk about her book called Life with Pop: Lessons on Caring for an Aging Parent (Avery Penguin).


Just released on April 30, 2009, her true story and lessons learned takes place in an independent living facility in West Hartford, CT.

This book reflects Janis' story as told through her professional eyes as a clinical psychologist and her personal experience as a daugher of an aging dad.


As yesterday’s Washington Post article explains, for years, economists warned that women entering the work force would become unavailable as unpaid caregivers for the elderly. Plausible -- but untrue. Family caregiving continues at high levels, though more than half of adult children who help elderly parents also work full time, and 10 percent part time. That can exact a steep toll. And more than 70% of caregivers are women, including daughters.

Find out what makes this book a breakthrough in caregiving, and discover one woman's story that may help you make sense of your own.
