Welcome to The Midlife Glow Up Podcast - the show for women over 40 who are ready to trade overwhelm and burnout for clarity, confidence, and energy. In this introductory episode, your host Joan Dandeneau, midlife health and wellness coach, shares the heart and purpose behind the podcast and what you can expect in the episodes to come.

Joan opens up about her own journey through midlife - navigating perimenopause, parenting three daughters, and embracing this new season of life - and how she’s learned that taking care of your body isn’t selfish, it's imperative. You’ll hear how her 30 years in health and fitness led her to create a space where women can simplify fitness, nutrition, and habits so they can finally build consistency and confidence without the guilt, confusion, or all-or-nothing mindset.
