Frustration Turns Proactive

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

While Dr. Nancy addressed women’s concerns one-on-one through her practice, she decided it was time to take the information to a broader audience. This includes:

10 years of groundbreaking research with over 1200 participants from age 20 to 80+
Book, “Timeless Women Speak: Feeling Youthful at Any Age”, with inspiring stories, age group concerns, practical tips
Weekly Radio Show, “Timeless Women Speak” at www.webtalkradio.net, interviewing amazing women
www.womenspeak.com website with value articles and information
E-Newsletters for the most current tips and timely stories

Knowing that other women feel the same validates our experience. Even better, we can learn from each other how to cope with the challenges and opportunities of aging.

Lack of Info on Successful Aging or “Saging”

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

As a baby boomer struggling with the reality of her own aging process, psychologist Dr. Nancy became frustrated by the lack of candid information available to help women deal with their aging issues. Available resources seem to fall into three types:

Fountain of Youth Myths: These deny that we have to age, as long as we take a certain supplement, follow a particular diet or practice the author’s technique.
Disease: Physicians often “medicalize” the process of aging as if it was a disease. They focus on what can go wrong.
Crone stories: New age authors celebrate the sags and wrinkles while mourning the loss off respect for old women in our society today.

None of these materials speak honestly about women’s concerns about getting older, nor do they help women deal with these fears. Dr. Nancy decided to find out what women think are the real issues they face and how they feel.
