Raise your hand if you’ve ever looked at a woman who does yoga and envied not only how grounded, centered and balanced she is, but those arms and shoulders are serious workout goals.
Same.
Now imagine the results you could see if you were to do Face Yoga. Yes, face yoga. It’s a thing.
The team at Face Yoga Method reached out to me a while back and introduced me to this phenomenon. Led by founder Fumiko Takatsu, Face Yoga Method is an all natural practice that consists of non invasive facial exercises that tone facial muscles, improve complexion and smooth wrinkles. It’s a holistic approach focusing on mind/body/spirit and boasts side effects like amazing posture and more self confidence. Yes, please!
I will admit. I was skeptical.
But take a listen to my interview with Fumiko and it’s like DUH! Of course this works!
They’re about to announce a big sale over at Face Yoga Method, including their
flagship 6-week Face Toning Bootcamp that can take 10 years off your face. TEN YEARS. Are you ready to get a full face and neck transformations in LESS THAN 2 MONTHS?
About our guest:
Fumiko Takatsu (founder and CEO) of the Face Yoga Method brings her 15 years of practice and personal experience into the Revolutionary Pro-Aging Method that has been impacting thousands of lives, hers included!
Following a nearly fatal car accident that threw her hip, shoulder and head off-kilter, Fumiko developed what is today The Face Yoga Method. With over 80 facial postures geared toward working on any area of the face, she has helped men and women worldwide replace cosmetic procedures 100% naturally!

Why is Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop so polarizing? We’ll hear two very different opinions about the brand. Plus, one of Goop Guides go-to healers is here in the Forty Thrive studio. Not only do we discuss the brand new Goop Lab on Netflix (spoiler: I share my own opinion on episodes 1-3), but we dive deeper into what’s really happening when we claim to be supporting each other as women.
Plus, my big, fat mess up. I totally call myself out.
If you are part of our free and private community, I’m sure you saw the post recently about Gwyneth Paltrow’s new Netflix show, Goop Lab. The website’s been in existence for over a decade but the Netflix show just launched and is definitely getting people talking.
I asked a simple question, “How do you feel about group in three words or less?“
• Overpriced vagina candle
• Snake oil con woman
• Vile elitist pseudoscience
These were just a few of the comments that were flowing in soon after posting. But not everyone was hopping on the anti-Goop bandwagon. There were actually plenty of women who shared quite positive opinions.
• Optimizing your life
• Interesting, relevant, refreshing
One woman shared, “She’s innovative and pushing the envelope, whether you agree with her or not.”
Dr. Suzanne Gilberg Lenz, OB/Gyn and Advocate for Women’s Integrative Health, weighs in, calling Goop “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
Guest: Stacey Justis, professional intuitive tarot card reader and energy healer. She is also is certified in Hypnotherapy, past life regression, EFT and Reiki.
Goop Guide calls her “Refreshingly laid-back and smart, equal parts straight-up psychic and intuitive life coach.”Stacey helps private clients and groups connect with spirit through her energy work and collaborates with them to guide them to their own personal power and supports truly transformative healing. She provides insight as well as practical tools to achieve goals.She is a conduit for the journey of self-discovery and delivers messages, helps heal emotional wounds and fears, and even unlocks reasons for unexplained physical pain. Stacey is devoted to empowering her clients to create the lives they’ve always wanted and realize their true purpose and potential.
My 40’s have been a time in my life that I like to refer to as my mid-life renaissance. My life is far from perfect, but I’m seizing the opportunity to embrace who I am, share my voice, and have an impact in ways that I did not until this stage of my life.
Congratulations, Julie!

Welcome to the second episode of Thrive in 40, a quick Monday morning tip to kickstart your week in 40 seconds or less.
In this episode, Jennifer Tracy, writing coach and host of the MILF Podcast, shares her tip to get out of your head and reconnect to your body.
Something I didn’t know or learn until I was in my late 30s was how not in my body I was, just really walking around in my head and my thoughts and not in touch with the wisdom of my feminine body. And so once I did learn that through a form of movement, it changed everything, it changed the way I told my stories, it changed the way I stood in my own story, so I just wanna invite you wherever you are to put your hand on your chest where your heart is and breathe. Just feel into your body and continue that through the rest of your day because she has wisdom to share with you and she has stories to tell.
To get more from Jennifer, subscribe to the MILF Podcast or visit JenniferTracy.com. And for more inspiration from women over 40, join our free and private Forty Thrive Facebook group.
