Description

Ever wonder what you’ll be like at 90? (Personally, I plan to be a cute grandma in a hip little outfit, still dancing at weddings and holding babies.) If you’re here for a long, healthy, joyful life (not just a smaller body), this episode is for you.


Today, I’m getting super real and opening up about my Grammy Z’s passing, the life lessons she handed me, and how I want to live (and age gracefully!) with intention. We’re skipping the step-by-step meal plans and routines. This one’s a heart-to-heart: what actually matters when you zoom out and look at the big picture.


You’ll hear how she lived a full 90 years (hint: it wasn’t from dieting), and how I’m rethinking everything from self-care to legacy. If you’re taking care of aging parents, grieving a loved one, or just feeling like you’ve put yourself last for too long…this episode is your wake-up call.


This isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about your life and how you want to live it, gracefully.


xoxo,

Jackie
