I write a lot about how moms need to make taking care of themselves a priority. Not only to be a positive role model for their kids, but to improve the quality of their lives and help them do their job better (day job and mom job). I am one of those so called “older moms” having my last child barely under 40. And now that I have two kids I’m more challenged than ever to fit in taking-care-of-me time.

Michelle Segar, a friend and colleague of mine, will be talking to Kelley Conners on live blog radio today about self care after having a baby (see below). The first time I talked to Michelle we instantly hit it off. We had the exact same ideas on how women can achieve healthier lives – and what gets in their way. The only difference is her expertise is exercise (and psychology) and mine is nutrition.

Michelle works mostly with midlife women but even you’re not quite 40, you can definitely get something from joining the call on Thursday, September 17th at 4:30pm (7:30 EST). As moms we need to find creative ways to take care of ourselves before time slips away and it gets even harder. If anyone can help you achieve a healthier lifestyle and manage your weight, it’s Michelle Segar. Don’t miss it!

Join Kelley Connors, host of Real Women on Health! in a new series, Mid-Life Mammas, which will take place on Thursday evenings at 7:30 EST and PST. Mid-life Mammas is for women over 40 who’ve just had their first or second baby! In this first of three series, Michelle will provide her insights on how coaching works, who is most successful in achieving results and how she helps women manage their weight, sustainably. You won’t be disappointed and there is no hype with this! Michelle Segar is America’s leading expert on exercise motivation for women over 40. She is the founder of the National Center for Women and Wellness and a Psychology Researcher at the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan. She has a doctorate in Psychology and master’s degrees in Health Behavior-Health Education and Kinesiology from The University of Michigan. Her coaching service, EssentialSteps®, is sought after by women and companies nationwide.
