Welcome to Your REera

🔥 We believe REinvention has no age limit. 🔥 We don’t bounce back. We bounce forward, and REcreate. 🔥 Adventure isn’t just for the young, the fit, or the fearless. We embrace the heat and trust the burn. 🔥 We don’t do shame here. 🔥 This is our RE-Era. REinvent, REignite, REconsider, REdiscover, REcreate, REevaluate, REbuild.

Here in our community of Spicy Living, we begin to feel relief from expectations. And in shedding a life full of box checking, we can become so alive again. We feel joy, not because everything is perfect, but because we’ve opened our eyes all the way, finally. We are in the middle of our "one" life, and damn it, we want something more than beige walls and unmet needs. ❤️ Joy. Adventure. Connection. FUN. Community. Compassion. 🔥 We want some Spicy Living🔥 Now, for the first time in a long time, we can start to believe we’re worth the journey to REdiscover our life, our selves and each other. We open our minds to REexamining our lives and our stories... our hurts and our victories. And with love and deep compassion, we begin to share our truths. But, this time, through a lens of kindness and deeper understanding. For many of us, the kids are grown. The career isn’t as fulfilling or it's overwhelming. The relationship might feel like a roommate situation, or it’s already ended. Our role of who we are in midlife has changed, like it or not. Now, finally, there’s space to ask: What do I want now? This is your RE era. REconnecting with your hopes and dreams. REclaiming wonder. REbuilding a life that fits who you are now, not who you were expected to be. Spicy Living isn’t about “fixing” yourself. You were never broken, love. It’s about showing up in the beautiful, chaotic messy middle of it all and choosing to live bigger, bolder, and more true. With laughter. With courage. With a salty little grin. And with a community. (Hi!!! That’s us.) Through my writing, retreats, underwater adventures, and personal growth tools, I focus on helping us REignite what’s been buried under decades of obligations and expectations. We rise. not because we were broken, but because we are ready. 🔥Welcome to Spicy Living. Life is not a dress rehearsal. It’s showtime, friends. Let’s do this.

ADHD / Neurodiversity in MidLife

If you’ve spent decades wondering why focus feels frustrating, undependable and slippery, motivation comes in bursts, or your brain is always chasing the next spark, you may have ADHD. Perhaps your brain is wired differently, like mine. Learning about neurodiversity has helped me immensely! ADHD isn’t just a childhood diagnosis; for millions of women, it’s a lifetime companion that’s often so heavily masked, terribly misunderstood, and often misdiagnosed, (Hello 'Anxiety Disorder'). Understanding how your brain processes dopamine, how your gut microbiome affects your incretin hormones mood and motivation can make a huge difference and literally can be the missing piece in your health puzzle. Impacts your energy, emotions, and daily life. This space is for us, the midlife women finally connecting the dots, REwriting our story, and learning how to thrive in our own beautiful neurodivergent way.

MidLife Health, GLP1's, Peptides & Understanding Obesity & Gut Health

Midlife Metabolism & Medical Breakthroughs

​If you’ve spent years blaming yourself for weight that wouldn’t budge, you’re not alone, and you’re not lacking willpower. Science now recognizes obesity as a disease driven by biology, hormones, and genetics, not just calories in or calories out. GLP-1 medications and peptides are changing the game, helping people with PCOS, insulin resistance, and stubborn midlife weight finally reset their bodies to a healthier set point. While food and movement matter, they’re not the whole story, and your “normal” weight has far more to do with chemistry than character. We’re also diving deep into gut health to explore how it shapes everything from weight to mood. If you’re ready for the truth beyond diet culture, click here and join the investigation.
