Our guest today is Sam Palmer, creator and founder of the Online Platform, Midlife Makeover, which offers advice, coaching & support to women in peri menopause, menopause and beyond. Sam says she aims to “Give women back the confidence to live the life they want to live.” helping them to “Get their Sparkle back”. Sam tells us we don’t have to go to the gym to get our energy back and should think of exercising in bitesize blocks not in hours. Our bodies change around 40 years old and it is harder for us to keep our muscles and body strength to enable us to keep doing what we love, Sam gives us some simple exercises that we can do to keep our bodies moving. With a practical approach Sam explains what we need to do to get our sparkle back.Find Sam here https://www.midlifemakeover.co.uk/meet-samAnd on Instagram and FB as MidlifemakeoverThe Book Collective reads up to part 2 of Anita Diamant’s The Red Tent, we are loving getting to know the characters of the women, from the fertile Leah to the feminist Zilpah. The excitement of the women when a girl arrives to pass down the female stories and the ceremonies surrounding women in their culture. Next week we read to page 125 chapter 3 of part 2. A delicious and protein based foodie this week cooked by Jinty, green masala eggs from the BBC goodfood website: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/green-masala-eggsPacked with protein and fibre and easy to digest will give us an energy boost. Jinty added chickpeas and sugar snap peas to this recipe for some plant based protein.
