I turned 60 this year and although it's been a very challenging year for us all, I feel amazing! I do yoga daily, ride treadmill most days 😎, limit alcohol intake, taking my homemade elderberry syrup, and just remembering how blessed I am in the midst of any chaos.
I'm 46 and I think I look 36, I am fitter than I was at 26 and I am still curious about the world as when I was 16! My secret is to actively be appreciative and to love my life right now and be excited for the future. I also think youth is an attitude and being open to change (job, relationships, style and make-up!!) is key. Physically, exercise has transformed my health so I can shine so much more!
I'm 65. I figure I've got about 15-20 years left. I've been struggling with how best to spend those years. I'm still working, I'm hoping to work until I'm 70, but the struggle is, what do I do with my free time. I've decided that I love being surrounded by beauty. It makes me happy to see beautiful things. So, what makes me feel vibrant right now is making my home beautiful. Especially with the changing of the seasons - I'm currently putting away fall and decorating for Christmas/winter. Making my house beautiful and season appropriate makes me happy. Also, thank you for the tip about hypnosis! I have a morning routine, but I've been struggling to find an evening routine that will help me go to bed at an appropriate time, and I think hypnosis will be perfect! I'm going to try it tonight. Thank you so much for your video! This has to be one of my all time favorites!
Give it a try! It has been so instrumental in my life! I know what you mean about surrounding yourself with beautiful things...especially with all that has happened this year. Our homes are our sanctuary more than ever before. xo
I am going to search for hypnosis to help with sleep as well. I feel like I could do so much more in my day and with a better outlook if I could only sleep well, which has eluded me much of my adult life. I am going to try the magnesium gummies as well. Thank you Erin for these tips, ideas and inspiration. 🥰
I am almost 80. I weigh the same as I did when I was 40, around 110 lbs. I never think about how long I have left. I lead a busy active life, and love dancing and volunteering in my community. When I was 60, I decided to stop colouring my hair and go for a more natural look. Fortunately, I discovered that I was hiding a lovely silver coloured shiny hair, which my stylist tells me is a colour many people request. Each day brings it's joys and challenges. I love fashion and always try to look my personal best. My skin is good but, of course, at 80, I do have some wrinkles, especially around the eye area. The wonderful tutorials on the internet have been a great help in that area. I have many interests and learn try to learn something new every day. My own personal philosophy... I don't take each day for granted, but with gratitude
Testosterone pellets has been life changing for me! I’ve had horrible fatigue over the last two years. I had my hormones checked and my testosterone was 10, and should be 200-300! I didn’t want to do it and pushed it off another year. Then I got desperate and tried it over 4 months ago. My pellets just wore off a few weeks ago, and I’m back to hardly getting out of bed, tired all the time, stumbling through my days. Getting a pellet this Friday and can hardly wait! It makes me happy, creative, upbeat, patient, energetic, open....the list goes on!
@@BusbeeStyle I also got on desiccated thyroid and balance my insulin on Keto and IF. I have balance all my major hormones as lost over 20 pounds and feel better than ever!
You gotta have passion for something! Life is Joyful with passion. I quit my job at 54 and started my own business. Literally walked in to work at 8am and by 8:30 left it all behind. Scared? You betcha, but Liberated. I owned it.
Lifelong Learners raise your hands! 🙌🏼 Your passion is contagious, I love the work that you do for us, thank you. Super hero cape was pretty good too! 🦸🏼♀️💙
I always tell my kids “exercise is the fountain of youth.” I’m 48.5 and work out almost every day. I feel great and have lots of energy. Also I totally amuse myself. 🤗 If you can laugh at yourself you can’t help but to stay young at heart.
I just want to say a big thank u for all your content! I’m 55 & having a resurgence in my career after raising my child. It feels great to be around people & be challenged & motivated. I’m starting the MBA I put off 20 years ago.
Erin, you definitely have a glow about you these days. I just turned 53 a few days ago and feel ten years younger. YES to exercising five days a week, daily 10 minute meditations, supplements, long hair and continual learning. However, I would use caution with the hormones. I was only a couple of years older than you when I was diagnosed with breast cancer after taking hormones for a few years to relieve severe perimenopausal symptoms. No history on either side of the family.
Thank you Lisa! I appreciate your concern. There are benefits and risks associated with HRT and it's a personal decision each woman needs to make with their medical professional based on individual risk factors. I sincerely hope that your health has improved! xo
I started playing tennis at 49 and it became an obsession. Im 56 and love playing doubles tennis. It’s very social. I also intermittent fast, I find that to be healing for the body. My greatest joy is studying my Bible and Christianity. I have found the Bible to be full of wisdom and centers me on what is truly important, which is growing closer to Christ.
Same here, Wanda! The Bible and staying focused on Jesus keeps me centered, at peace, and puts everything into perspective-what’s important and what’s not! The things of this world that stress most people out really don’t matter much to me-I don’t get caught up much in wordly things-my perspective is eternal. What a gift!!! God bless you! ❤️
Hi Erin, awesome as per normal. I've gained so much knowledge since subscribing. I'm 51yo and a few things that light me up are: 1) just got back from yoga class 2)I still tap dance and have my concert next week 3)job interview on Friday 4)3 days away on holiday on Sunday to Rottnest 5)most importantly my son and family 6)vegan for 1 year now and loving it 7)swimming, kayaking & cycling 8)take my vitamins every day especially magnesium I8 years of helping people as a personal trainer keeps me young at heart. Always love your content keep up the awesome work🤗
Erin, to me, this video is, by far, the best you've ever done! I'm emailing this to my inbox to keep it as a daily reminder. Thank you for all you do, Erin!
After I heard you say giving up dairy lead to weight loss it was the push I needed to give up almost all animal products. I'm now about 90% vegan (I eat salmon 1x/week) and I feel great. Highly recommend eating more plant based meals
This is such a valuable video for me have been struggling badly with my menopause for close to 10 years - met with a new GP this morning and am starting HRT shortly with some other lifestyle changes inclusions - thanks for sharing your passion and wisdom hon will watch your menopause videos now love from Sydney Australia x
Erin, I truly love your channel. I could cry because no matter where you are in life and you watch your channel, I feel that we can relate. I watch your channel and every time I watch I am informed and educated. I am a woman and a wife and an auntie mom and I truly feel like your videos leave me better. These words are from someone that watches a lot of videos and knows authenticity. May God continue to bless you your family and staff and all your subbies. I truly appreciate you and look forward to seeing you in the next video. I appreciate you soooooo much!!! Take good care!
Great video Erin! I started hypnosis at the beginning of the pandemic and it’s changed my life, it’s something I will continue the rest of my life. It has changed my relationship with food, I want to eat fresh healthy food now and it’s trained me to listen to my hunger and to only eat when I’m actually hungry...no more mindless snacking. Hypnosis has also helped me manage the stress and anxiety of the pandemic. I want to tell the world, but I know people think I’m crazy! Haha. Thank you for sharing!
Hello Emily, Pls can you share more information about what program you use for hypnosis in relation to healthy eating and stress. I really need this right now.
I've always had thin, fine hair even as a kid. Extensions are a huge game changer! I only just got them a year ago and I'll never go back to the thin aging hair from before
Dear Erin , I found this video both informative and innovative. There is so much I am tempted to share here regarding my own personal struggles in finding my center after years of crushing multigenerational family responsibilities. This post would end up being far to lengthy so all I will say is I am sincerely so thrilled that you have made your way back to yourself ! You are such a smart, capable , genuine and kind beauty both inside and out and you are so deserving of unlimited joy . ps .... looks like a beautiful house you are renting while you build ! 🌞♥️ Pam
Oh Pam...thank you so much for sharing! You are SO incredibly sweet! I hope you find lots of things that make you happy! With so many family responsibilities, it's so important that we don't forget to make ourselves a priority! xo
I love to dance hip hop! It’s a 3 in one for me-I get exercise, learn new steps and get to be creative! I also love fitness, so I’m thinking about teaching hip hop fitness classes after the pandemic is over. ❤️
The thing that makes me feel young is being out in nature and being inspired by the beauty that surrounds us. I also think not accepting old subconscious beliefs that with age must come illness and frailty. I feel more connected to who I truly am in my late 30s than I ever did when I was in my teens or 20s. I know what I deserve now and what to walk away from.
I took up crocheting & knitting and I donate what I craft, I donate penguin jumpers and preemie hats all year around. I feel like it gives me purpose. Great video!
Will be 61 in a couple weeks and have been blessed or inherited great health. What I have realized is the food I eat affects me the most. From congestion, inflammation & just plain stiffness removing carbs works for me. Feeling great carries over to energy, fashion, beauty and confidence. Because of Covid lockdown, working from home the last 8 months I decided to retire the summer. I am looking forward to to concentrating on me for the first time in my life!
We were discussing with friends recently that it’s important to socialise with people younger than you to challenge your thinking. So much of it is a state of mind. My parents are in their 70’s but they think old and are constantly at medical appointments. My brother and sister-in-law are the same age but keep themselves young.
Love this video. Great ideas and I think you are right on with the hormones. Game changer for me too! It’s so important to bring awareness to menopause. Ladies don’t suffer- there are solutions.
Erin, do you have prescription orthodics? This summer, I was wearing sandals a lot and not wearing my orthodics. My knees started to bother me running up the stairs. When Fall came, I started wearing my orthodics more around the house and no more sandals. Magically, my knees stopped bothering me. Look into it, you might need them. I also want to say, I bought a scalp massager this Spring/Summer and use it every day before I shower in the morning. I don't know if it is working, but it makes my scalp feel a lot better. I also dry brush my body every day before I shower. I use hair and face masks twice a week. (I started using Minoxidel about 2 months ago, because I see some scarce hair growth around my top hair line.) I have been using collagen powder for many months now. I like it, It is tasteless and makes me feel like I am trying. I go out for a long walk every day, just to get outside. I think like you, it is very important. My club membership is on hold during the pandemic, but I do try to do weights, crunches and Yoga almost everyday. I started getting hot flashes at 38. I was put on hormone replacement, but after a while, it was time to get slowly off of it. It was hard at first, but now that I am 66 years old, I feel almost normal. No hot flashes to speak of and my body temperature seems to regulate better and I sleep like a rock now. It took a while, though. I take a lot of supplements, including primrose. Since I am semi retired, I have no grand passions anymore. After a life time of business travel, taking classes, etc., I am happy being home and enjoying my home and all it took to make it a home. I like seeing my husband everyday, or not missing celebrations, just watching the seasons and enjoying the wildlife in my backyard, playing with my two kitties and just doing as I please. I read a lot now and I am looking at my old piano thinking, I should start practicing again now that I am home. It has been a while since I played. :-) Thanks, Erin.
Thank you for sharing so much about you, Anita! I love learning more about my subscribers. I think it's time to stop looking at that piano and start playing it again. I have a hunch it will make you happy! xo
@@BusbeeStyle - One last thing, Erin. I believe it was you, in one of your videos, who told us to have our thyroid levels checked if we were starting to lose our hair. Well, I had a check up on Friday and told the doctor about my hair loss. He took a blood test and sure enough, my levels weren't normal. He increased my Levothyroxine prescription and I will go to the drug store to pick the new one up today. He said I will have more energy and it will help with my hair loss. So thank you very much for telling this to us, I really appreciate that advise. :-)
Thanks for this video Erin♥️. I'm perimenopausal & what sucks even more is that ALL the doctors that I've been to here in Canada immediately shut me down or become snarky-asking questions like: "How do you know that how you're feeling is not normal? How many women have you interviewd?" Sorry to be ranting. I wish I could find healthcare that actually cares about patients. What I've been doing to keep myself going since I became disabled in 2015 due to having a breakdown and being unable to work is: Ensure to get adequate sleep, always keep up with my supplements, i.e, Mg, b vitamins etc, eating whole foods, fasting when I can manage to, counting my blessings(lol), and taking walks when I can.
One thing I totally agree with you in us to do what you love! I have been a musician and I sing in a band and a duo with my husband, the two us us are also very artistic from painting and drawing to making jewelry!, besides loving our day jobs, lol! He paints, I’m a hairstylist, we are both 64, staying fit is important and we’re both loving life!
Terrific video! Thanks so much for sharing what you actually do to feel engaged and full of zest in life and to support your well-being. I am on my way now to check out your resources . I appreciate your thoughtful content.Brava!
Lately, the thing that is making me feel young and alive is going out snorkeling. The visibility in Southeast Alaska is incredible in the winter, almost 30 feet sometimes (or so it seems). I've lived here my whole life and never really jumped in the ocean much until very recently. ❤️️🏊♀️
Erin you have impacted my life in so many ways: I learned about intermittent fasting and keto from you (which I do), menopause options, wardrobe basics and looking modern. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m about to turn 60 and I think I look like I’m 40 in clothes. I do have menopause side effects - like thinner hair and muscle is harder to keep on than when I had more estrogen and testosterone. I finally had my hormones checked and will be talking to my gynecologist in December. You’re so honest about menopause and it’s very refreshing and I love that you are so proactive. I love learning from you.
Yes!! I am going to be 42 when I graduate from nursing school. Second career, number one dream, I’m loving absolutely every second of my new job and school. It has changed my perspective on myself and has ignited a fire inside me to go further and be stronger and give more of myself. It is not glamorous at all, but it is my passion, and it makes me glow. I loved this video!
I agree doing what I love and feel passionate about revitalizes me. So does being patient with myself and loving myself, mind, body and spirit. Giving myself breaks helps, as does being with people I love who inspire and make me laugh. Laughter is huge! I enjoy your tips and your authenticity Erin... thank you for putting yourself out there and allowing us into your life, you’re killing it!!
Erin: to feel younger, I bought a treadmill and a spin bike and my goal is to get in some form of cardio for about 30 minutes a day. What a difference it had made!
Erin, I am a retired academic psychologist and researcher. I have taught undergraduates, graduate students, supervised PhD students as well as having a private practice for many years. Though much of my training is in clinical psychology diagnosing and treating serious mental disturbance, my joy always was and is helping women in particular with their psychological development ie how to maximize their emotional well being, their relationships, their life choices for a better present and future. The mind/body connection is so important. Amazing work has been done in recent years using the mind to heal the body, especially chronic pain and also conversely the body to heal the mind. I will in another post list a couple of books for professionals in case you, or anyone else wants to look deeper into these subjects. When I had my practice I always worked on getting clients into some form of body therapeutic movement in addition to therapy with me. Whatever fit them best: walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, ballet, SOMETHING to get them MOVING and feeling more an active agent in their life AND physically stronger. There was a synergistic effect between healing emotional traumas, goal setting, planning for the future, developing and implementing action plans, feeling physically empowered in ones own body, and achievement. Recently I have learned I have hypothyroidism and since you take thyroid hormone, I wonder if that was an issue for you in the past? Different mind/ body strategies work well for different people, but the things you mention all sound perfect for you and some will be helpful for others too. For others, a holistic physician may be key to tailoring the best hormone replacement therapy for them and assessing their hormone function post menopause...... Loved you opening up this topic for discussion so that OTHERS can learn more about themsleves...sending you a big hug. Sybil Francis, PhD
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing so much, Sybil! I really do appreciate it! Yes, that was the issue that I was also having with my thyroid. xo
Hi Erin..another great video. You have inspired me us years to be our best selves but I turned sixty four. I was feeling older. I have had back surgery five years ago and my back was hurting. I was getting belly fat. I started doing a Supergreen smoothie a tab of Supergreen powder..6 oz drink for lunch...I add spinach, frozen berries, half of a banana, coconut water and a bottle of coffee from Aldis...this makes enough for three..four days. I either work in the yard or I walk three times around our five acre property. I rake leaves, pick up limbs, clean out garden plots. My husband and I watch watch a minister on utube who is very positive...reminds us God is in control. I still take a very minimal amount of estrogen and I take Armour...a non synthetic thyroid medicine. I drink collagen in my coffeee..thank you Erin. I have lost belly fat, improved the shape of my arms and butt and feel ten years younger. I am making cinnamon applesauce ornaments for my nieces and nephews to decorate when we are together at Thanksgiving....they make your house smell so good and kids love to make them. I want to feel good and might try hypnosis. Thanks Erin...you are an inspiration. Love you beautiful girl..inside and out Oh Gage....what a beautiful little one then and now. Xoxo
OK, this video Is an inspirational Game Changer! LOVE! I'm off my workout game lately (meh, covid, cold weather...you just rein spired me to start back tomorrow) and take that knitting class!
The BEST thing we can all do for ourselves to do something we LOVE, it is a MUST! For years I worked jobs just to live, but it my 50's I woke up and said "No more, I'm gonna do something I WANT TO DO!" So I prayed about it and found the job of my DREAMS. I now work with a nationally known and very respected non profit and it feels like I'm going to Church everyday. Sure beats the corporate world hands down, I will never go back there.
Another great video. So many on point things. Deciding to be happy, hiking, eating clean, dressing pretty and also, making my home and surroundings pretty has taken 20 years off of the way I feel and look. (I'm 59) Friends noticed and asked what I am doing and when I tell them, I don't think they believe that that is actually the secret - care about yourself.
Actually I find very different things makes me feel vibrant - slowing down, gentle exercise like walking, being available to my children, and making a cozy peaceful home environment. Tapping into my soft feminine side is my fountain of youth. It’s also very freeing and relaxing so I don’t need so much💜💕I haven’t seen your videos in a while- I’ve missed you! you have really changed a lot. Still so beautiful 😍 excited to watch your hair video!
3 or 4 times in my life strangers have asked if I was a teacher. I never asked them why they thought that. You said because your pulse is always so steady. I think that's my answer.😁
Great video. Right now I’m taking advantage of the sun beaming into my window and I’m sitting here like a happy cat. Getting my vitamin D. I try to sit in the sun a few minutes each day. So healing.
A love for learning is an essential element of a vibrant life. I am 45 but one of my dearest friends is 86. She earned a PhD at a time when women didn’t do such things and hasn’t stopped learning since. We can’t meet because of COVID but when we chat over the phone we always discuss what we’re reading and learning. She’s an amazing woman and I’m grateful for her friendship and example.
RUclips has a nearly limitless number of exercise videos, something for everyone. I cannot afford Tracy Anderson or other paid programs, but I feel I can find all I need on RUclips! When I do commit to exercise and strength training I feel so much better. The only downside is at our age it’s so much easier to injure yourself with the simplest of exercises so you have to really know your body and your limits. Thanks for this video!
Such a great video, thank you! I do a lot of the same things as you, I work out , eat well and do inner work, but lately I've still really struggled to feel confident and having a sense of purpose. I'm constantly learning (just finished Reiki 1 and 2, a clutter clearing course, and redoing a Marisa Peer hypnosis course). I know I can pull myself out of this funk, and keep doing the things that are good for me.
Here are the books I mentioned in a previous comment: 1. BY Norman Dodge. MD psychiatrist; 1.1 "The Brains Way of Healing"; "The Brain That Changes Itself". Also: 2. BY Besel Van der Kolk, MD "The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma" The last book is being used to train RNs, especially those working in ERs, police professionals, womens abuse shelter staff, childrens case workers, teachers in high risk schools , anyone who might potentially interact professionally with a child, adult or veteran who has suffered physical or emotional trauma. WARNING:It may be upsetting to those with no experience with trauma victims but it very clearly outlines how victims are helped by movement therapies etc. All three of these books are based on recent advances in neuroplasticity. It was once believed the brain was more or less physiologically static in many ways in terms of structure and connectivity ie axons , dendrites etc( yes I know technical language but the CONCEPTS in these books are not deeply technical). Now we know the brain itself in some ways can be remodeled just as the body can. THe body does it through exercise, movement, and diet. The brain does it mostly through usage but insight and knowledge help too. The interaction between body and brain is what is so fascinating. The point is that we can change our OWN brains through movement and other activities and with learning as YOU discuss. Learning provides insight into ourselves and others, can change how we think more positively about ourselves and others and provides concrete mastery of concepts affecting in your case how you think about and plan for your new business ventures. LIfelong learning about virtually EVERYTHING life has to offer builds up a storehouse of knowledge and propels us ever forward in life...it is the fuel of positive forward momentum! We just grow and grow as we age when we continue to learn.
These are deeply important books. I have read them all too and was profoundly affected by the information about trauma and neuroplasticity. I have been able to reframe my past traumas and movement has helped me so much to move forward with my life. I also really appreciate this video and the info you gathered Erin. love your channel and now love it even more.
I used to listen to a therapist show a beautiful wide waterfall.. and then she had the most calming voice. I listened to her online. and wow did it relax me! It was like hypnosis. Then I had some great uplifting music videos and it was part of my life daily. These things can help. I too was bullied and beat up by kids every day. Yes hair can make a difference! Oh yes hair is huge issue. I had too much hair lol. I do coligen and I did all the things I am supposed to do. Yes we learn until the day we die. My dad taught me to love nature early in life. I have taken so many classes over the years, I could never count them. Getting out in fresh air and airing out my home also all year long. Thank You for sharing your tips with all of us. I love that you like helping ppl. :-) This was an awesome video~ :-)
You're SO welcome! I'm so sorry you had such a tough time growing up, but glad that you are taking the steps as an adult to free yourself from that trama. xo
I so appreciate your love and giving heart!!!! You are blessing so many! You are also a true inspiration. Thank you so much for being open and putting your personal journey here for all of us to know we are not alone. Your loving soul is such a gift to the world. I found you only this week for wardrobe guidance and then here these personal sharing videos make me realize there are truly beautiful giving souls being vulnerable in such a time when people seem so lost lashing out at eachother vs. Loving eachother. Thank you so much for being a truly powerful woman! Powerful, confident, loving, giving, and true; I love and appreciate you for everything you are doing!!! May every dream of yours come for you in amazing speed. May you and your family be always safe and joyful! Thank you again! You are also funny; what a combo!🌞👍🌞
Love it!! I do yoga and mindfulness every other day, I feel it keeps me energized and keeps me focused on my well being, I have lots of distractions (work, teenagers, husband, and now trying to make sense of life to my mom since dad passed in march) it’s been difficult, my days are busy but I try my best to stay positive and focus! Gym? another thing that changed this year! I signed up to fitbit premium instead and also follow fitness youtube channels to feel the gym gap. I also try to give my best on everything I do. One day at a time!
Hiking mountains, walking lots of stairs, eating right, bioidentical hormones, doing things you love or enjoy, giving yourself challenges, learn to make great lemonade out of the lemons we sometimes get handed (this Covid year for example), allowing goof off or lazy days once in a while (don't beat yourself up), growing in my walk with God - this and more contribute to feeling good, having great energy, and being satisfied and happy more often than not. Good topic!!
I am so grateful to have found your channel, Erin! This video like so many others you post is chock full of inspiring action items. You are a total badass. Thank you!
Loves this video and loved your presentation! I had a good laugh during it 🤣 when you talked about being a robot :) love your sense of humor! Thank you for these awesome videos !
Marisa Peers hypnosis type program (RTT) was the most life changing thing I ever did. Love that you are willing to try and share new things! Thank you thank you thank you!
Erin. Loved this so much. Been a Buddhist for over 50 years. To help me during the pandemic, I have been reading Jay Shetty Think like a Monk. Might find it interesting. Lots about joy and purpose. 💕
Just a comment about the Collegen powder. I hadn’t heard about it until I started following you but since I started taking it, not only did my hair start feeling better but my joints feel better. I also have knee issues as well as my hands and elbow. I really notice a difference especially if I stop using it. I didn’t realize how it was helping me until I went away for a week and forgot the powder at home. My body hurt, until I got home and started using the powder again. Thank you for the suggestion! I love watching your videos!
That's amazing, Annie! Thank you for sharing! Sometimes you notice the biggest difference after you go off of certain supplements. Collagen powder has been such a game changer for me! xo
Wow, this is an amazing video, after months of lethargy, little joy or interest in anything with all that is going around us all, this set off a spark of wakefulness inside me. THANK YOU Erin. Will certainly take on board your tips and hypnosis sounds most intriguing! More videos like this please.xx
Also, acupuncture and Pilates reformer. Both help me maintain health and balance. Pilates keeps my spine young and strong. Poor posture makes you look old.
I'm 57 and it really isn't that bad. In fact not having periods and that constant monthly roller coaster is liberating. I haven't taken any hormones. No major hot flashes, hair is still very soft and skin just needs extra moisture. I don't have a thyroid and have been taking Synthroid for over 20 years.
Hi I do love your channel honestly never commented until today. I’m 54 and people tell me I still look like I’m in my 30s not sure if they’re lying to me lol. Anyway what I do is take care of my skin from head to toe, sunscreen every single day weather I go out or not, I also exfoliate my face daily and my body a few times a week, I don’t drink, smoke. I’m a vegetarian since I’m 7 years old when it was not popular and I got bullied for it from family and at school by the way. I try to be vegan for most part but during the holidays it goes out the window as I love cheeses. I’m passionate about life and everything daily. I keep a gratitude journal to remind me how lucky I am daily to be alive and healthy. I love music and I love to dance yes even by myself. 😊 I enjoy reading and my big passion is Disney I’m a huge Disney fan!! I drink tons of water and I cup of coffee daily with Maca, cinnamon & nutmeg stirred into it. I make sure I get to bed at a decent time. There’s so much more but these are the big ones. Thanks for all you do. PS you’re gorgeous & keep up what you’re doing! 🤗 ~Lucille~
I seriously love love love your enthusiasm! Everything you say. Everything you do. Your style. Everything. Just perfection! I can relate to you on so many levels. I’m thrilled to see that you’re still rocking a youthful look because I just turned the dreaded 40 but I’m going to think more positively about my age and incorporate these tips and I’m sure plenty of others you share. I’m so glad that I came across your channel. Hopefully I don’t sound like some crazy person but I just wanted to take the time to say “keep doing you!” and thank you!
I started on bio-identical hormones a few years ago and they are a miracle! I get an implant about three times per year. The implant is customized depending on the results of my blood work. I probably needed this years ago and didn’t realize it. Thank you for your honesty with us. Makes me feel like I’m not alone. ❤️
You look perfect today! Yes 😃 , “ be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind” Rom. 12:2 🙏🏼❤️ I feel like learning piano and now playing regularly at my church has revolutionized my spirit. I’m now 56....had played around on piano since my late 40’s but an opening at church really raised my game and now I am taking lessons from a way older lady and I LOVE her...this make me feel young...like college almost!
At 28, one would think I'd feel young no matter what. However, despite being a fairly positive person, I tend to overthink and drag myself down. Laughter and silliness make me feel vibrant. But more than that, pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors --I'm a social worker and am designing a mental health journal that tracks symptoms in a measurable way. More than that, I've also been giving a lot of thought to how my current job doesn't utilize my real strengths and am feeling called to do something more administrative in nature, and ideally remote. Thinking about ways to create a life that allows the way I spend my time to reflect my values (having time for friends, family, etc) and also makes me feel like I'm contributing my strongest gifts of organization, details, planning and creativity.
Omg you are such an inspiration. I thank you very much for all of your advise and push to stay in shape and to take care of youraelf5. I fell off the wagon 4 years ago and I have aged and gained weight. Listening to you makes me feel like turning things around.
Two things that keeps me feeling energized & young: 1) Finding things and people to be in awe of (i.e. breathtaking landscapes, art, examples of surviving & thriving people, how small acts of kindness make a huge impact, etc.) 2) Laughing & giggling! I love to laugh, and surround myself with friends, family and animals who make me laugh. I also have certain comedians and sitcoms I watch that always make me giggle like a little girl and roar with laughter!
Erin, this is an excellent video! Thank you for creating this thoughtful content. I have listened/watched twice already and will use the information that you included in the information section. This came at a time that I really needed it.
This is great and I relate to so much of this. I would never have guessed it a year ago but I went through a spiritual awakening this year and there has been no looking back for me. I'm reading everything I can get my hands on. Experiencing, growing and learning so much. When I share and talk about my exploration with friends or my husband I get so energized... sometimes I can't sleep either. I truly feel like I was sleep walking before and now I see limitless potential for my life. Love this video!
Lots of thoughtful ideas. I do several of your suggestions, but am struggling with COVID depression, anxiety and life’s purpose from time to time. I have to work really hard at trying to manage those things without medication. That is really important to me. I have dropped much of my vitamins, but you have inspired me to get back on that train. I have gained 20 pounds and just cannot get on top of that. So much self hate due to weight management. You are an inspiration! Thanks for helping us navigate through this very weird time in our history!
I’m so sorry you are struggling, Janice. I’ve been there and kinda in the dumps too right now. Tough time of year. I suggest starting with one new step every day. Today, I won’t have sugary creamer in my coffee. Something like that. Don’t try it all at once... can overwhelm and feel too restrictive
Self care and constant learning are key to keeping young, but I would say the biggest game changer is being around people who are younger than you on a regular basis. I'm not necessarily talking about your own children and their friends, but your younger peers and co-workers. You need to hear them speak, see what they're into, and how they're feeling about the world we are living in to have an appreciation for youth. You will eventually absorb the good that comes with that, while balancing with the experiences that have made you wise!
Thank you! I will use some of these ideas, especially the hypnosis. The #1 thing that impacted my whole life and energy in my 40s was changing to the Nutritarian diet 2 years ago. It helped with hormones and just seriously everything. It was the hardest thing at first, but now it's easy and I love it. I think the name Gage is so cute! In a future video can you do athleisure-type wear? I am a stay home mom online schooling my kids and I feel sloppy :).
You're SO welcome, Kim! Thank you for sharing! I have some videos on athleisure wear and also elevated loungewear. I'll link the videos here: ruclips.net/video/xzi7Z7eMtZY/видео.html, ruclips.net/video/xn7GWPR13aU/видео.html, and ruclips.net/video/5VK5pVTx0zk/видео.html
I've tried similar things along the lines of affirmations, etc. and they have their place but, boy what a relief to hear other smart women struggle with imposter syndrome and for me even self sabotage.
At 55, I still love working with kids. I'm a middle school teacher and have young grandkids. I'm always amazed that I hear "you're my favorite teacher" or that they want to "hang out with me". It brings me so much joy! Walking and hiking is so good for my body and soul! Zero alcohol too!
Hi Erin, I'm in WA State and am 50 years old. My journey with you started when I searched in RUclips for petite styling and your videos showed up. They were tv segments before your channel. Then, I subscribed to your channel when you started one. Anyways, learned alot from your videos. Thank you for sharing your love of fashion and life.

I’ll be 70 tomorrow and the thing that keeps me young is surrounding myself w young people and people that are positive.
That's amazing! Happy early birthday! I hope you have an amazing day! xo
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday
Happy birthday 🎊🎉🎂
Nova Norman Happy Birthday to you!! Saw your post on Erin Busbee's video from yesterday. 😊☝
I turned 60 this year and although it's been a very challenging year for us all, I feel amazing! I do yoga daily, ride treadmill most days 😎, limit alcohol intake, taking my homemade elderberry syrup, and just remembering how blessed I am in the midst of any chaos.
That's amazing! Thank you for sharing a little bit about your routine! xo
@@BusbeeStyle m in r tv
I'm 65 and retired and started taking online art classes I love it.
YAY! I love that! xo
Can you share art class you found?
I'm just 15. I'm feeling good by seeing people over the age of 40 doing really good and caring for their body. This is extremely motivating
I'm so glad, Akshita! xo
@@BusbeeStyle love you❤❤❤❤
🥰
I became a Zumba instructor at 62! Keeps me in great shape,it’s super fun and you get to meet alot of great people. Definitely keeps me young!
I'm 46 and I think I look 36, I am fitter than I was at 26 and I am still curious about the world as when I was 16! My secret is to actively be appreciative and to love my life right now and be excited for the future. I also think youth is an attitude and being open to change (job, relationships, style and make-up!!) is key. Physically, exercise has transformed my health so I can shine so much more!
Way to go, Gita! Youth is definitely an attitude! xo
I'm 65. I figure I've got about 15-20 years left. I've been struggling with how best to spend those years. I'm still working, I'm hoping to work until I'm 70, but the struggle is, what do I do with my free time. I've decided that I love being surrounded by beauty. It makes me happy to see beautiful things. So, what makes me feel vibrant right now is making my home beautiful. Especially with the changing of the seasons - I'm currently putting away fall and decorating for Christmas/winter. Making my house beautiful and season appropriate makes me happy.
Also, thank you for the tip about hypnosis! I have a morning routine, but I've been struggling to find an evening routine that will help me go to bed at an appropriate time, and I think hypnosis will be perfect! I'm going to try it tonight. Thank you so much for your video! This has to be one of my all time favorites!
Give it a try! It has been so instrumental in my life! I know what you mean about surrounding yourself with beautiful things...especially with all that has happened this year. Our homes are our sanctuary more than ever before. xo
I am going to search for hypnosis to help with sleep as well. I feel like I could do so much more in my day and with a better outlook if I could only sleep well, which has eluded me much of my adult life. I am going to try the magnesium gummies as well. Thank you Erin for these tips, ideas and inspiration. 🥰
I am almost 80. I weigh the same as I did when I was 40, around 110 lbs. I never think about how long I have left. I lead a busy active life, and love dancing and volunteering in my community. When I was 60, I decided to stop colouring my hair and go for a more natural look. Fortunately, I discovered that I was hiding a lovely silver coloured shiny hair, which my stylist tells me is a colour many people request. Each day brings it's joys and challenges. I love fashion and always try to look my personal best. My skin is good but, of course, at 80, I do have some wrinkles, especially around the eye area. The wonderful tutorials on the internet have been a great help in that area. I have many interests and learn try to learn something new every day. My own personal philosophy... I don't take each day for granted, but with gratitude
Testosterone pellets has been life changing for me! I’ve had horrible fatigue over the last two years. I had my hormones checked and my testosterone was 10, and should be 200-300! I didn’t want to do it and pushed it off another year. Then I got desperate and tried it over 4 months ago. My pellets just wore off a few weeks ago, and I’m back to hardly getting out of bed, tired all the time, stumbling through my days. Getting a pellet this Friday and can hardly wait! It makes me happy, creative, upbeat, patient, energetic, open....the list goes on!
I feel the same way! SO glad that you found what works for you! xo
@@BusbeeStyle I also got on desiccated thyroid and balance my insulin on Keto and IF. I have balance all my major hormones as lost over 20 pounds and feel better than ever!
You gotta have passion for something! Life is Joyful with passion. I quit my job at 54 and started my own business. Literally walked in to work at 8am and by 8:30 left it all behind. Scared? You betcha, but Liberated. I owned it.
I love that! Good for you, Michele! xo

I always tell my kids “exercise is the fountain of youth.” I’m 48.5 and work out almost every day. I feel great and have lots of energy. Also I totally amuse myself. 🤗 If you can laugh at yourself you can’t help but to stay young at heart.

I just turned 50 and I'm just learning about menopause 😅 you talking about it is very nice gives me comfort ☺️ thank you 😊
You are so welcome! xo
Helping others makes me feel good 🧡
That's amazing! xo
Daily yoga, tai chi, and walks have helped me immensely. I also think more clearly when I follow a high fat, Paleo style diet.
I just want to say a big thank u for all your content! I’m 55 & having a resurgence in my career after raising my child. It feels great to be around people & be challenged & motivated. I’m starting the MBA I put off 20 years ago.
That's amazing, Kim! You got this! xo
Erin, you definitely have a glow about you these days. I just turned 53 a few days ago and feel ten years younger. YES to exercising five days a week, daily 10 minute meditations, supplements, long hair and continual learning. However, I would use caution with the hormones. I was only a couple of years older than you when I was diagnosed with breast cancer after taking hormones for a few years to relieve severe perimenopausal symptoms. No history on either side of the family.
Thank you Lisa! I appreciate your concern. There are benefits and risks associated with HRT and it's a personal decision each woman needs to make with their medical professional based on individual risk factors. I sincerely hope that your health has improved! xo
I started playing tennis at 49 and it became an obsession. Im 56 and love playing doubles tennis. It’s very social. I also intermittent fast, I find that to be healing for the body. My greatest joy is studying my Bible and Christianity. I have found the Bible to be full of wisdom and centers me on what is truly important, which is growing closer to Christ.
That's amazing, Wanda! Thank you for sharing! xo
Same here, Wanda! The Bible and staying focused on Jesus keeps me centered, at peace, and puts everything into perspective-what’s important and what’s not! The things of this world that stress most people out really don’t matter much to me-I don’t get caught up much in wordly things-my perspective is eternal. What a gift!!! God bless you! ❤️
Hi Erin, awesome as per normal. I've gained so much knowledge since subscribing. I'm 51yo and a few things that light me up are:
1) just got back from yoga class
2)I still tap dance and have my concert next week
3)job interview on Friday
4)3 days away on holiday on Sunday to Rottnest
5)most importantly my son and family
6)vegan for 1 year now and loving it
7)swimming, kayaking & cycling
8)take my vitamins every day especially magnesium
I8 years of helping people as a personal trainer keeps me young at heart.
Always love your content keep up the awesome work🤗
Yay! I love this! Thank you for sharing, Patricia! xo
Erin, to me, this video is, by far, the best you've ever done! I'm emailing this to my inbox to keep it as a daily reminder. Thank you for all you do, Erin!
Thank you SO much! xo
After I heard you say giving up dairy lead to weight loss it was the push I needed to give up almost all animal products. I'm now about 90% vegan (I eat salmon 1x/week) and I feel great. Highly recommend eating more plant based meals
This is such a valuable video for me have been struggling badly with my menopause for close to 10 years - met with a new GP this morning and am starting HRT shortly with some other lifestyle changes inclusions - thanks for sharing your passion and wisdom hon will watch your menopause videos now love from Sydney Australia x
HRT is my life saver
Erin, I truly love your channel. I could cry because no matter where you are in life and you watch your channel, I feel that we can relate. I watch your channel and every time I watch I am informed and educated. I am a woman and a wife and an auntie mom and I truly feel like your videos leave me better. These words are from someone that watches a lot of videos and knows authenticity. May God continue to bless you your family and staff and all your subbies. I truly appreciate you and look forward to seeing you in the next video. I appreciate you soooooo much!!! Take good care!
Thank you SO much, Belinda! You are SO sweet! xo
Great video Erin! I started hypnosis at the beginning of the pandemic and it’s changed my life, it’s something I will continue the rest of my life. It has changed my relationship with food, I want to eat fresh healthy food now and it’s trained me to listen to my hunger and to only eat when I’m actually hungry...no more mindless snacking. Hypnosis has also helped me manage the stress and anxiety of the pandemic. I want to tell the world, but I know people think I’m crazy! Haha. Thank you for sharing!
That's amazing, Emily! Thank you for sharing! xo
Hello Emily, Pls can you share more information about what program you use for hypnosis in relation to healthy eating and stress. I really need this right now.
I've always had thin, fine hair even as a kid. Extensions are a huge game changer! I only just got them a year ago and I'll never go back to the thin aging hair from before
You are absolutely correct - prescription HRT patches were a game changer for me too! Grateful for all your posts:)
Thank you, Leslie! xo
Dear Erin , I found this video both informative and innovative. There is so much I am tempted to share here regarding my own personal struggles in finding my center after years of crushing multigenerational family responsibilities. This post would end up being far to lengthy so all I will say is I am sincerely so thrilled that you have made your way back to yourself ! You are such a smart, capable , genuine and kind beauty both inside and out and you are so deserving of unlimited joy . ps .... looks like a beautiful house you are renting while you build ! 🌞♥️ Pam
Oh Pam...thank you so much for sharing! You are SO incredibly sweet! I hope you find lots of things that make you happy! With so many family responsibilities, it's so important that we don't forget to make ourselves a priority! xo
I love to dance hip hop! It’s a 3 in one for me-I get exercise, learn new steps and get to be creative! I also love fitness, so I’m thinking about teaching hip hop fitness classes after the pandemic is over. ❤️
That's amazing! Thank you for sharing, Christina! xo
The thing that makes me feel young is being out in nature and being inspired by the beauty that surrounds us. I also think not accepting old subconscious beliefs that with age must come illness and frailty. I feel more connected to who I truly am in my late 30s than I ever did when I was in my teens or 20s. I know what I deserve now and what to walk away from.
I love that! I also get recharged from being out in nature! xo
I took up crocheting & knitting and I donate what I craft, I donate penguin jumpers and preemie hats all year around. I feel like it gives me purpose. Great video!
That's wonderful, Kelly! Thanks for sharing! xo
I love waking up to your posts! It starts my day off on a positive note❣️❣️❣️
I'm so glad! That's SO sweet of you to say, Jasmine! xo
Will be 61 in a couple weeks and have been blessed or inherited great health. What I have realized is the food I eat affects me the most. From congestion, inflammation & just plain stiffness removing carbs works for me. Feeling great carries over to energy, fashion, beauty and confidence. Because of Covid lockdown, working from home the last 8 months I decided to retire the summer. I am looking forward to to concentrating on me for the first time in my life!
You are right, Shirlyn! There is such a big connection between how we feel and what we eat! Good luck with your retirement! xo
Me: A video for people over 45? I am too young for this.

We were discussing with friends recently that it’s important to socialise with people younger than you to challenge your thinking. So much of it is a state of mind. My parents are in their 70’s but they think old and are constantly at medical appointments. My brother and sister-in-law are the same age but keep themselves young.
You are SO right, Cathy! xo
Working out, reading old esoteric and philosophical books, it gives a new, old strange perspective on life in general, blesssings
That's amazing, Marjorie! xo
Love this video. Great ideas and I think you are right on with the hormones. Game changer for me too! It’s so important to bring awareness to menopause. Ladies don’t suffer- there are solutions.
Erin, do you have prescription orthodics? This summer, I was wearing sandals a lot and not wearing my orthodics. My knees started to bother me running up the stairs. When Fall came, I started wearing my orthodics more around the house and no more sandals. Magically, my knees stopped bothering me. Look into it, you might need them. I also want to say, I bought a scalp massager this Spring/Summer and use it every day before I shower in the morning. I don't know if it is working, but it makes my scalp feel a lot better. I also dry brush my body every day before I shower. I use hair and face masks twice a week. (I started using Minoxidel about 2 months ago, because I see some scarce hair growth around my top hair line.) I have been using collagen powder for many months now. I like it, It is tasteless and makes me feel like I am trying. I go out for a long walk every day, just to get outside. I think like you, it is very important. My club membership is on hold during the pandemic, but I do try to do weights, crunches and Yoga almost everyday. I started getting hot flashes at 38. I was put on hormone replacement, but after a while, it was time to get slowly off of it. It was hard at first, but now that I am 66 years old, I feel almost normal. No hot flashes to speak of and my body temperature seems to regulate better and I sleep like a rock now. It took a while, though. I take a lot of supplements, including primrose. Since I am semi retired, I have no grand passions anymore. After a life time of business travel, taking classes, etc., I am happy being home and enjoying my home and all it took to make it a home. I like seeing my husband everyday, or not missing celebrations, just watching the seasons and enjoying the wildlife in my backyard, playing with my two kitties and just doing as I please. I read a lot now and I am looking at my old piano thinking, I should start practicing again now that I am home. It has been a while since I played. :-) Thanks, Erin.
Thank you for sharing so much about you, Anita! I love learning more about my subscribers. I think it's time to stop looking at that piano and start playing it again. I have a hunch it will make you happy! xo
@@BusbeeStyle - One last thing, Erin. I believe it was you, in one of your videos, who told us to have our thyroid levels checked if we were starting to lose our hair. Well, I had a check up on Friday and told the doctor about my hair loss. He took a blood test and sure enough, my levels weren't normal. He increased my Levothyroxine prescription and I will go to the drug store to pick the new one up today. He said I will have more energy and it will help with my hair loss. So thank you very much for telling this to us, I really appreciate that advise. :-)
You are such a thoughtful and creative person! I am very thankful for your sincere ideas and inspiration!!
You are so welcome! xo
Thanks for this video Erin♥️. I'm perimenopausal & what sucks even more is that ALL the doctors that I've been to here in Canada immediately shut me down or become snarky-asking questions like: "How do you know that how you're feeling is not normal? How many women have you interviewd?"
Sorry to be ranting.
I wish I could find healthcare that actually cares about patients.
What I've been doing to keep myself going since I became disabled in 2015 due to having a breakdown and being unable to work is: Ensure to get adequate sleep, always keep up with my supplements, i.e, Mg, b vitamins etc, eating whole foods, fasting when I can manage to, counting my blessings(lol), and taking walks when I can.
One thing I totally agree with you in us to do what you love! I have been a musician and I sing in a band and a duo with my husband, the two us us are also very artistic from painting and drawing to making jewelry!, besides loving our day jobs, lol! He paints, I’m a hairstylist, we are both 64, staying fit is important and we’re both loving life!
Terrific video! Thanks so much for sharing what you actually do to feel engaged and full of zest in life and to support your well-being. I am on my way now to check out your resources . I appreciate your thoughtful content.Brava!
Lately, the thing that is making me feel young and alive is going out snorkeling. The visibility in Southeast Alaska is incredible in the winter, almost 30 feet sometimes (or so it seems). I've lived here my whole life and never really jumped in the ocean much until very recently. ❤️️🏊♀️
WOW....that sounds AMAZING, Leigh! xo
Erin you have impacted my life in so many ways: I learned about intermittent fasting and keto from you (which I do), menopause options, wardrobe basics and looking modern. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I’m about to turn 60 and I think I look like I’m 40 in clothes. I do have menopause side effects - like thinner hair and muscle is harder to keep on than when I had more estrogen and testosterone. I finally had my hormones checked and will be talking to my gynecologist in December. You’re so honest about menopause and it’s very refreshing and I love that you are so proactive. I love learning from you.
You're SO welcome, Yolanda! xo
Yes!! I am going to be 42 when I graduate from nursing school. Second career, number one dream, I’m loving absolutely every second of my new job and school. It has changed my perspective on myself and has ignited a fire inside me to go further and be stronger and give more of myself. It is not glamorous at all, but it is my passion, and it makes me glow. I loved this video!
That's amazing! Congratulations on following your dream! xo
I agree doing what I love and feel passionate about revitalizes me. So does being patient with myself and loving myself, mind, body and spirit. Giving myself breaks helps, as does being with people I love who inspire and make me laugh. Laughter is huge!
I enjoy your tips and your authenticity Erin... thank you for putting yourself out there and allowing us into your life, you’re killing it!!

Erin: to feel younger, I bought a treadmill and a spin bike and my goal is to get in some form of cardio for about 30 minutes a day. What a difference it had made!
That's amazing! Keep it up! xo
Erin, I am a retired academic psychologist and researcher. I have taught undergraduates, graduate students, supervised PhD students as well as having a private practice for many years. Though much of my training is in clinical psychology diagnosing and treating serious mental disturbance, my joy always was and is helping women in particular with their psychological development ie how to maximize their emotional well being, their relationships, their life choices for a better present and future. The mind/body connection is so important. Amazing work has been done in recent years using the mind to heal the body, especially chronic pain and also conversely the body to heal the mind. I will in another post list a couple of books for professionals in case you, or anyone else wants to look deeper into these subjects.
When I had my practice I always worked on getting clients into some form of body therapeutic movement in addition to therapy with me. Whatever fit them best: walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, ballet, SOMETHING to get them MOVING and feeling more an active agent in their life AND physically stronger. There was a synergistic effect between healing emotional traumas, goal setting, planning for the future, developing and implementing action plans, feeling physically empowered in ones own body, and achievement. Recently I have learned I have hypothyroidism and since you take thyroid hormone, I wonder if that was an issue for you in the past?
Different mind/ body strategies work well for different people, but the things you mention all sound perfect for you and some will be helpful for others too. For others, a holistic physician may be key to tailoring the best hormone replacement therapy for them and assessing their hormone function post menopause......
Loved you opening up this topic for discussion so that OTHERS can learn more about themsleves...sending you a big hug. Sybil Francis, PhD
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing so much, Sybil! I really do appreciate it! Yes, that was the issue that I was also having with my thyroid. xo
Hi Erin..another great video. You have inspired me us years to be our best selves but I turned sixty four. I was feeling older. I have had back surgery five years ago and my back was hurting. I was getting belly fat. I started doing a Supergreen smoothie a tab of Supergreen powder..6 oz drink for lunch...I add spinach, frozen berries, half of a banana, coconut water and a bottle of coffee from Aldis...this makes enough for three..four days. I either work in the yard or I walk three times around our five acre property. I rake leaves, pick up limbs, clean out garden plots. My husband and I watch watch a minister on utube who is very positive...reminds us God is in control. I still take a very minimal amount of estrogen and I take Armour...a non synthetic thyroid medicine. I drink collagen in my coffeee..thank you Erin. I have lost belly fat, improved the shape of my arms and butt and feel ten years younger. I am making cinnamon applesauce ornaments for my nieces and nephews to decorate when we are together at Thanksgiving....they make your house smell so good and kids love to make them. I want to feel good and might try hypnosis. Thanks Erin...you are an inspiration. Love you beautiful girl..inside and out

The BEST thing we can all do for ourselves to do something we LOVE, it is a MUST! For years I worked jobs just to live, but it my 50's I woke up and said "No more, I'm gonna do something I WANT TO DO!" So I prayed about it and found the job of my DREAMS. I now work with a nationally known and very respected non profit and it feels like I'm going to Church everyday. Sure beats the corporate world hands down, I will never go back there.
That's wonderful! Sounds like a great change! xo
Another great video. So many on point things.
Deciding to be happy, hiking, eating clean, dressing pretty and also, making my home and surroundings pretty has taken 20 years off of the way I feel and look. (I'm 59)
Friends noticed and asked what I am doing and when I tell them, I don't think they believe that that is actually the secret - care about yourself.
Actually I find very different things makes me feel vibrant - slowing down, gentle exercise like walking, being available to my children, and making a cozy peaceful home environment. Tapping into my soft feminine side is my fountain of youth. It’s also very freeing and relaxing so I don’t need so much💜💕I haven’t seen your videos in a while- I’ve missed you! you have really changed a lot. Still so beautiful 😍 excited to watch your hair video!
3 or 4 times in my life strangers have asked if I was a teacher. I never asked them why they thought that. You said because your pulse is always so steady. I think that's my answer.😁
It very well may be! xo
Great video. Right now I’m taking advantage of the sun beaming into my window and I’m sitting here like a happy cat. Getting my vitamin D. I try to sit in the sun a few minutes each day. So healing.
Sounds SO nice, Tammie! Thank you for sharing! xo
A love for learning is an essential element of a vibrant life. I am 45 but one of my dearest friends is 86. She earned a PhD at a time when women didn’t do such things and hasn’t stopped learning since. We can’t meet because of COVID but when we chat over the phone we always discuss what we’re reading and learning. She’s an amazing woman and I’m grateful for her friendship and example.
That's amazing Annie! I'm sure she is lucky to have you as a friend as well! xo
RUclips has a nearly limitless number of exercise videos, something for everyone. I cannot afford Tracy Anderson or other paid programs, but I feel I can find all I need on RUclips! When I do commit to exercise and strength training I feel so much better. The only downside is at our age it’s so much easier to injure yourself with the simplest of exercises so you have to really know your body and your limits. Thanks for this video!
You're SO welcome! There are a lot of free and inexpensive resources out there. Glad you found some that you enjoy! xo
I’ve found a lot of TA videos for free here in RUclips
I love this! honestly, I skipped through the hypnosis part of the vid but this is great, inspiring information!
Glad you enjoyed it, Bree! xo
Such a great video, thank you! I do a lot of the same things as you, I work out , eat well and do inner work, but lately I've still really struggled to feel confident and having a sense of purpose. I'm constantly learning (just finished Reiki 1 and 2, a clutter clearing course, and redoing a Marisa Peer hypnosis course). I know I can pull myself out of this funk, and keep doing the things that are good for me.
Thank you, Eija! You got this! Sounds like you are doing all of the right things! xo

BY Besel Van der Kolk, MD "The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma" The last book is being used to train RNs, especially those working in ERs, police professionals, womens abuse shelter staff, childrens case workers, teachers in high risk schools , anyone who might potentially interact professionally with a child, adult or veteran who has suffered physical or emotional trauma. WARNING:It may be upsetting to those with no experience with trauma victims but it very clearly outlines how victims are helped by movement therapies etc.
All three of these books are based on recent advances in neuroplasticity. It was once believed the brain was more or less physiologically static in many ways in terms of structure and connectivity ie axons , dendrites etc( yes I know technical language but the CONCEPTS in these books are not deeply technical). Now we know the brain itself in some ways can be remodeled just as the body can. THe body does it through exercise, movement, and diet. The brain does it mostly through usage but insight and knowledge help too. The interaction between body and brain is what is so fascinating. The point is that we can change our OWN brains through movement and other activities and with learning as YOU discuss. Learning provides insight into ourselves and others, can change how we think more positively about ourselves and others and provides concrete mastery of concepts affecting in your case how you think about and plan for your new business ventures. LIfelong learning about virtually EVERYTHING life has to offer builds up a storehouse of knowledge and propels us ever forward in life...it is the fuel of positive forward momentum! We just grow and grow as we age when we continue to learn.
Thank you for sharing all of these resources with me, Sybil! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to write! xo
These are deeply important books. I have read them all too and was profoundly affected by the information about trauma and neuroplasticity. I have been able to reframe my past traumas and movement has helped me so much to move forward with my life. I also really appreciate this video and the info you gathered Erin. love your channel and now love it even more.
The look on Travelers Face, when you turned in to Wonderwoman😂She is sooo sweet😍🌸🐾🩷
I used to listen to a therapist show a beautiful wide waterfall.. and then she had the most calming voice. I listened to her online. and wow did it relax me! It was like hypnosis. Then I had some great uplifting music videos and it was part of my life daily. These things can help. I too was bullied and beat up by kids every day. Yes hair can make a difference! Oh yes hair is huge issue. I had too much hair lol. I do coligen and I did all the things I am supposed to do. Yes we learn until the day we die. My dad taught me to love nature early in life. I have taken so many classes over the years, I could never count them. Getting out in fresh air and airing out my home also all year long. Thank You for sharing your tips with all of us. I love that you like helping ppl. :-) This was an awesome video~ :-)
You're SO welcome! I'm so sorry you had such a tough time growing up, but glad that you are taking the steps as an adult to free yourself from that trama. xo
Hi Erin! Love these type of videos! Thank you so much for sharing. Such dear pictures of you with your son. All the best to you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that, Ekaterina! xo
Мне тоже эти фото понравились очень!-:)
I so appreciate your love and giving heart!!!! You are blessing so many! You are also a true inspiration. Thank you so much for being open and putting your personal journey here for all of us to know we are not alone. Your loving soul is such a gift to the world. I found you only this week for wardrobe guidance and then here these personal sharing videos make me realize there are truly beautiful giving souls being vulnerable in such a time when people seem so lost lashing out at eachother vs. Loving eachother. Thank you so much for being a truly powerful woman! Powerful, confident, loving, giving, and true; I love and appreciate you for everything you are doing!!! May every dream of yours come for you in amazing speed. May you and your family be always safe and joyful! Thank you again! You are also funny; what a combo!🌞👍🌞
I am so glad that my videos are helpful to you, Lola! YOU are the reason I am doing this! I truly appreciate your comment and your support. xo
Love it!! I do yoga and mindfulness every other day, I feel it keeps me energized and keeps me focused on my well being, I have lots of distractions (work, teenagers, husband, and now trying to make sense of life to my mom since dad passed in march) it’s been difficult, my days are busy but I try my best to stay positive and focus! Gym? another thing that changed this year! I signed up to fitbit premium instead and also follow fitness youtube channels to feel the gym gap. I also try to give my best on everything I do. One day at a time!
Thank you, Susy! I'm so sorry for your loss! Sounds like you have a great routine! xo
This is the best video you have ever done!!! Thanks for great ideas and information.
Wow, thanks! SO glad it was helpful, Sandy! xo
Hiking mountains, walking lots of stairs, eating right, bioidentical hormones, doing things you love or enjoy, giving yourself challenges, learn to make great lemonade out of the lemons we sometimes get handed (this Covid year for example), allowing goof off or lazy days once in a while (don't beat yourself up), growing in my walk with God - this and more contribute to feeling good, having great energy, and being satisfied and happy more often than not. Good topic!!
I am so grateful to have found your channel, Erin! This video like so many others you post is chock full of inspiring action items. You are a total badass. Thank you!
You are SO sweet! Thank you! xo
Loves this video and loved your presentation! I had a good laugh during it 🤣 when you talked about being a robot :) love your sense of humor! Thank you for these awesome videos !
Marisa Peers hypnosis type program (RTT) was the most life changing thing I ever did. Love that you are willing to try and share new things! Thank you thank you thank you!
Erin. Loved this so much. Been a Buddhist for over 50 years. To help me during the pandemic, I have been reading Jay Shetty Think like a Monk. Might find it interesting. Lots about joy and purpose. 💕
That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing, Nina! xo
The part where you acted like a robot is sooo hilarious! You’ve made your point across. Loved this video!💚
Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it, Janessa! xo
Just a comment about the Collegen powder. I hadn’t heard about it until I started following you but since I started taking it, not only did my hair start feeling better but my joints feel better. I also have knee issues as well as my hands and elbow. I really notice a difference especially if I stop using it. I didn’t realize how it was helping me until I went away for a week and forgot the powder at home. My body hurt, until I got home and started using the powder again. Thank you for the suggestion! I love watching your videos!
That's amazing, Annie! Thank you for sharing! Sometimes you notice the biggest difference after you go off of certain supplements. Collagen powder has been such a game changer for me! xo
We just bought some collagen powder too! Looking forward to greet results 😍
Working out, hormones & vitamins with healthy eating have brought me back on the right track👍thank you Erin for sharing♥️so encouraging💕
So glad to hear! xo
You are back on form and it really shows, well done! Loved this content.
Thank you SO much, Claudette! That means a lot! xo
Wow, this is an amazing video, after months of lethargy, little joy or interest in anything with all that is going around us all, this set off a spark of wakefulness inside me. THANK YOU Erin. Will certainly take on board your tips and hypnosis sounds most intriguing! More videos like this please.xx
Also, acupuncture and Pilates reformer. Both help me maintain health and balance. Pilates keeps my spine young and strong. Poor posture makes you look old.
I agree! SO glad you found some things that work for you! Thank you for sharing! xo
I'm 57 and it really isn't that bad. In fact not having periods and that constant monthly roller coaster is liberating. I haven't taken any hormones. No major hot flashes, hair is still very soft and skin just needs extra moisture. I don't have a thyroid and have been taking Synthroid for over 20 years.
Thank you Erin. It's so nice of you to share. ❣️
You are so welcome! xo
Hi I do love your channel honestly never commented until today. I’m 54 and people tell me I still look like I’m in my 30s not sure if they’re lying to me lol. Anyway what I do is take care of my skin from head to toe, sunscreen every single day weather I go out or not, I also exfoliate my face daily and my body a few times a week, I don’t drink, smoke. I’m a vegetarian since I’m 7 years old when it was not popular and I got bullied for it from family and at school by the way. I try to be vegan for most part but during the holidays it goes out the window as I love cheeses. I’m passionate about life and everything daily. I keep a gratitude journal to remind me how lucky I am daily to be alive and healthy. I love music and I love to dance yes even by myself. 😊 I enjoy reading and my big passion is Disney I’m a huge Disney fan!! I drink tons of water and I cup of coffee daily with Maca, cinnamon & nutmeg stirred into it. I make sure I get to bed at a decent time. There’s so much more but these are the big ones. Thanks for all you do. PS you’re gorgeous & keep up what you’re doing! 🤗 ~Lucille~
Thank you so much, Lucille! I loved learning a little more about you! xo
I seriously love love love your enthusiasm! Everything you say. Everything you do. Your style. Everything. Just perfection! I can relate to you on so many levels. I’m thrilled to see that you’re still rocking a youthful look because I just turned the dreaded 40 but I’m going to think more positively about my age and incorporate these tips and I’m sure plenty of others you share. I’m so glad that I came across your channel. Hopefully I don’t sound like some crazy person but I just wanted to take the time to say “keep doing you!” and thank you!
You are SO incredibly sweet, Shannon! Thank you! xo
Thank you, Erin for all that you do! I love how you make everything accessible whether it’s fashion or life hacks! ❤️
You're SO welcome, Donna! xo
I started on bio-identical hormones a few years ago and they are a miracle! I get an implant about three times per year. The implant is customized depending on the results of my blood work. I probably needed this years ago and didn’t realize it. Thank you for your honesty with us. Makes me feel like I’m not alone. ❤️
You're SO welcome, Gigi! xo
You look perfect today! Yes 😃 , “ be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind” Rom. 12:2 🙏🏼❤️ I feel like learning piano and now playing regularly at my church has revolutionized my spirit. I’m now 56....had played around on piano since my late 40’s but an opening at church really raised my game and now I am taking lessons from a way older lady and I LOVE her...this make me feel young...like college almost!
At 28, one would think I'd feel young no matter what. However, despite being a fairly positive person, I tend to overthink and drag myself down. Laughter and silliness make me feel vibrant. But more than that, pursuing entrepreneurial endeavors --I'm a social worker and am designing a mental health journal that tracks symptoms in a measurable way. More than that, I've also been giving a lot of thought to how my current job doesn't utilize my real strengths and am feeling called to do something more administrative in nature, and ideally remote. Thinking about ways to create a life that allows the way I spend my time to reflect my values (having time for friends, family, etc) and also makes me feel like I'm contributing my strongest gifts of organization, details, planning and creativity.
One of your best videos. Really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, Renna! xo
Omg you are such an inspiration. I thank you very much for all of your advise and push to stay in shape and to take care of youraelf5. I fell off the wagon 4 years ago and I have aged and gained weight. Listening to you makes me feel like turning things around.
I'm SO glad this was helpful! Take it one day at a time, Antonia! You got this! xo
Two things that keeps me feeling energized & young:
1) Finding things and people to be in awe of (i.e. breathtaking landscapes, art, examples of surviving & thriving people, how small acts of kindness make a huge impact, etc.)
2) Laughing & giggling! I love to laugh, and surround myself with friends, family and animals who make me laugh. I also have certain comedians and sitcoms I watch that always make me giggle like a little girl and roar with laughter!
So informative ! Thank you Erin for always making us the best we can be!!😘😘
You are so welcome, Stephanie! xo
Erin, this is an excellent video! Thank you for creating this thoughtful content. I have listened/watched twice already and will use the information that you included in the information section. This came at a time that I really needed it.
You are so welcome, Rejeanor! So glad this was helpful! Timing really is everything! xo
This is great and I relate to so much of this. I would never have guessed it a year ago but I went through a spiritual awakening this year and there has been no looking back for me. I'm reading everything I can get my hands on. Experiencing, growing and learning so much. When I share and talk about my exploration with friends or my husband I get so energized... sometimes I can't sleep either. I truly feel like I was sleep walking before and now I see limitless potential for my life. Love this video!
WOW, Sounds amazing, Breanna! Keep it up! So glad that you liked this video! xo
Lots of thoughtful ideas. I do several of your suggestions, but am struggling with COVID depression, anxiety and life’s purpose from time to time. I have to work really hard at trying to manage those things without medication. That is really important to me. I have dropped much of my vitamins, but you have inspired me to get back on that train. I have gained 20 pounds and just cannot get on top of that. So much self hate due to weight management. You are an inspiration! Thanks for helping us navigate through this very weird time in our history!
I’m so sorry you are struggling, Janice. I’ve been there and kinda in the dumps too right now. Tough time of year. I suggest starting with one new step every day. Today, I won’t have sugary creamer in my coffee. Something like that. Don’t try it all at once... can overwhelm and feel too restrictive
Self care and constant learning are key to keeping young, but I would say the biggest game changer is being around people who are younger than you on a regular basis. I'm not necessarily talking about your own children and their friends, but your younger peers and co-workers. You need to hear them speak, see what they're into, and how they're feeling about the world we are living in to have an appreciation for youth. You will eventually absorb the good that comes with that, while balancing with the experiences that have made you wise!
Brilliant video on the most important topic of life skills needed for our daily lives .
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful! xo
Thank you! I will use some of these ideas, especially the hypnosis. The #1 thing that impacted my whole life and energy in my 40s was changing to the Nutritarian diet 2 years ago. It helped with hormones and just seriously everything. It was the hardest thing at first, but now it's easy and I love it. I think the name Gage is so cute! In a future video can you do athleisure-type wear? I am a stay home mom online schooling my kids and I feel sloppy :).
You're SO welcome, Kim! Thank you for sharing! I have some videos on athleisure wear and also elevated loungewear. I'll link the videos here: ruclips.net/video/xzi7Z7eMtZY/видео.html, ruclips.net/video/xn7GWPR13aU/видео.html, and ruclips.net/video/5VK5pVTx0zk/видео.html
One of your best Erin! Thanks. You can add Motivational Speaker/Coach to your resume... I'm energized and inspired watching this.
I've tried similar things along the lines of affirmations, etc. and they have their place but, boy what a relief to hear other smart women struggle with imposter syndrome and for me even self sabotage.
You are not alone! Sending light and love your way... xo
At 55, I still love working with kids. I'm a middle school teacher and have young grandkids. I'm always amazed that I hear "you're my favorite teacher" or that they want to "hang out with me". It brings me so much joy! Walking and hiking is so good for my body and soul! Zero alcohol too!
I love that, Lorraine! xo
Hi Erin, I'm in WA State and am 50 years old. My journey with you started when I searched in RUclips for petite styling and your videos showed up. They were tv segments before your channel. Then, I subscribed to your channel when you started one. Anyways, learned alot from your videos. Thank you for sharing your love of fashion and life.
Wow! Thank you for sticking with me that long! I sincerely hope that my content helps you. I love throwing in different topics once in a while! xo
@@BusbeeStyle thanks, Erin! Yes, love the content on your channel. It helped upping my wardrobe game.
Ur videos r always so so uplifting.... lots of love
You are so kind! Thank you! xo
