🌟 Busy women, reclaim your time with a FREE home workout – your shortcut to strength and confidence! 💪✨ https://workwithjenshaver.com/ In this episode of the Fit News podcast, host Jen Shaver, a triple certified fitness expert specializing in midlife, welcomes back special guest Liz Fillipone. Liz, with 20 years of diverse experience in movement practices including yoga and strength conditioning, now focuses specifically on helping women and men aged 45 and over who experience physical discomfort. Her journey to this specialization was inspired by her own return to dance and observing older students thriving, leading her to research and educate herself on aging and movement. The episode introduces and explores the concept of the five ages: chronological, biological, functional, psychological, and social. While chronological age is fixed, the other four can be supported and shifted through lifestyle choices. The discussion delves into how functional limitations, such as difficulty with daily movements like getting up from a chair or floor, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of a car, can profoundly affect the psychological and social ages, potentially leading to anxiety, embarrassment, or social withdrawal.

Edmund is a certified financial planner and enrolled agent who experienced bankruptcy at the age of 30. This personal experience motivated him to study finance and eventually become a financial coach with his business, Stacking Cheddah, because he saw many people struggling with financial stress, similar to what he had gone through. Jen points out the connection between financial wellness and fitness, noting that just like a fitness plan, financial well-being requires consistency, discipline, and tracking progress. Edmund emphasizes that financial stress significantly impacts overall well-being, contributing to poor sleep, weight gain, chronic health issues, and even relationship problems. He works with clients who often have good incomes but struggle to understand where their money is going and aren't meeting their savings goals. Edmund's coaching focuses on empathy, education, and action, providing non-judgmental and confidential help with budgeting, debt reduction, and saving. He stresses the importance of taking an honest look at one's current financial situation and setting realistic goals, drawing parallels to health coaching where understanding current habits is crucial for creating sustainable change. Edmund offers a free 15-minute consultation and a foundational two-hour session to help clients identify their financial priorities and develop concrete action steps.
