Donna Ashworth: I stopped fighting Mother Nature and started loving my ageing body

Sarah Beeny: Breast cancer at 50 reshaped my entire life
Q: What advice would you give to your younger self or to listeners about earlier life choices?

Heidi Range: I wasn't prepared for perimenopausal rage
Q: How do you nurture your body now?

Q: What was it like turning 40, and how do you feel about aging?
I was really excited about turning 40, and I just feel like, God embrace it. It's a privilege to be here, you know? And I feel like each year that's going by, I'm gaining more confidence in myself.
