If you're a woman in your 40s, you might be standing at a crossroads — navigating changes in your body, relationships, career, and identity. In this episode, we explore how gratitude can become a powerful anchor in this transformative season of life.

In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, be more, and have more, it's easy to feel like something is missing. But what if the key to feeling whole isn't found in chasing more — but in noticing what's already here?

Join me as we unpack the deeper meaning of gratitude — not as a surface-level nicety, but as a grounding practice that helps us reconnect with ourselves, our bodies, and the beauty of everyday life. We'll talk about how gratitude can shift your perspective, reduce stress, and help you reclaim your joy — even when life feels messy or uncertain.

You'll also learn four simple ways to cultivate gratitude in your daily life, including journaling, walking meditations, heartfelt letters, and a guided gratitude meditation you can do right now.

This episode is a gentle reminder that you are enough — right here, right now. And that peace, joy, and clarity are already within you, waiting to be noticed.

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, Chaneen Dippenaar shares two powerful stories that reflect the emotional journey many women face with their weight—especially in their 40s. From the desperation to reclaim the body of their youth to the resignation that nothing can be done, women often find themselves caught between extremes. But what if there's a healthier, more empowering middle ground?

Chaneen explores how societal pressures, comparison culture, and the number on the scale have shaped our self-worth for decades. She challenges listeners to shift their focus from weight to health, from appearance to purpose, and from striving to be worthy to recognizing that they already are.

This episode is a call to action for women to rewrite the narrative around body image and aging. It's about embracing intentional living, making choices that honor your health, and rediscovering your confidence and strength—because you are worthy beyond weight.

If this resonates with you, Chaneen invites you to book a complimentary BecomingYOU@40 coaching session to explore how you can realign your goals with what truly matters.

Tune in to be inspired, challenged, and reminded that it's never too late to start living a life that reflects your true worth.
