Arlene Cohen Miller is an attorney who now helps others through her work-life balance coaching and transformational mentoring. She shares her journey and the tools she uses to live her best life. Arlene shares her reasons for leaving her marriage and how she had to grow up very quickly in her career and life.

She talks about becoming aware of the tools we already have to nurture ourselves as much as we nurture others. She became aware of this need at a young age when she saw her own mother giving so much to her kids that she had to be told to get herself some new clothes.

One of the "aha" moments that she shares is taking the idea of choosing gratitude aspect a step further than just listing out what you are thankful for. Taking the time to actually feel what you are grateful for is much more meaningful and gives you a strong foundation to move forward.

To learn more about Arlene and how she helps others find joy in their journey, you can go to her WEBSITE.

Jen Aks has an energy that will come through to you as you listen to this conversation. Jen is on a mission to help others get into alignment with their body through the healing power of movement. As a dance educator, she has always been aware of the power of the body to guide us to enlightened living and shows us how to do that.

Jen talks about making the difficult decision three years ago to leave her 20 year marriage despite the fact that it wasn't a "bad" marriage. The energy just shifted and she found herself needing to move on.

This conversation is full of messages that midlife women need to hear including the powerful statement that we don't need to have the words to express what we are feeling. It's enough that our body tells us what to do.

To learn more about Jen and her amazing energy, you can find her on Instagram @jen_aks or on her WEBSITE where you will find links to her free meditation classes as well.
