Pamela DeLoatch's mother lied about her age. Pamela didn't learn about the ten-year discrepancy until after her mother died. Why did she do it? Pamela suspects that like many women of her generation she felt that getting older was a sign of weakness, a sign that you were no longer relevant, especially as a woman. But at 61, Pamela has embraced a new philosophy. She's proud of what she has accomplished in her lifetime and still has so much to offer to her community. Pamela had a career in corporate America, and after pivoting in her fifties, she is now a successful freelance writer. She's married with four grown children. Life wasn't always easy balancing work and family as they crisscrossed the country several times moving from North Carolina to Chicago and back again twice. But with age comes the wisdom to know that if you have survived something once, you can do it again, and again, and again. In this episode, Pamela and I break down the myths and stereotypes about aging and even dig into Brooke Shields' insightful new book: Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed To Get Old.   To learn more about Pamela: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/pamela_deloatch/">https://www.instagram.com/pamela_deloatch/</a> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/pamela.cothrandeloatch">(4) Facebook</a> <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/pameladeloatch/">(45) Pamela (Cothran) DeLoatch | LinkedIn</a>

Age is just a number, not a prescription for your potential according to Pamela DeLoatch and Brooke Shields

About 2 million women reach menopause every year; that’s about 6000 women per day. Scientifically, this means they stop having their periods for one year. The average age to begin menopause is 52, but it can occur anywhere from 45 to 58. And there’s a big lead up to the red carpet that a lot of women don’t even know about that carries its own set of symptoms called perimenopause. Here’s the real kicker, these seasons of a woman’s life can last for years. The list of symptoms is endless—hot flashes, trouble sleeping, irritability, weight gain. Yet, it seems like medical resources have historically not focused on the serious issues that women face during menopause. In this episode, we talk frankly about what happens to women during menopause and look at the medical solutions that are available to help them deal with this transition in a tangible and meaningful way. My guests include a women who shares her menopause journey with us and a Family Nurse Practitioner who specializes in women’s health. <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-catchings-08598b12/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-catchings-08598b12/</a> <a href= "https://www.avancecare.com/providers/susan-catchings-dnp-fnp-c/">Primary Care Provider in Cary, NC | Susan Catchings, DNP, FNP-C | Avance Care</a>

Menopause sucks, but it doesn’t have to; talking about tangible solutions to help women through this transition

Welcome to the second season of AGELESS: Opening Doors with Amanda Lamb. This is a podcast for women, about women, featuring women. There's a new generation of women who are redifining midlife, what it means to find a new chapter based on a foundation of life experience and profound insight. The process is both daunting and a little bit thrilling. I listened to you, my audience. This season, I will be bringing you stories about some of the hottest topics that interest you. The shows will also include interviews with experts who break down myths and give you the facts, as well as advice you can use. Whether you are looking for inspiration, information, or motivation, there is something for you here. Join me for another wild ride this year as we unpack issues and talk to trailblazing women who are paving the way for the rest of us. Let's do this! A staggering number of young adults are still living with their parents. A Pew Research study puts the number at 57% for people age 18 to 24, and about a third of people age 18 to 34 live at home. These numbers haven’t been this high in the United States since the 1940s. The number one reason young people cite for returning to the nest is their inability to survive financially on their own. This return home can topple the family dynamic. So, what is the best way to create boundaries—financial, emotional, and otherwise when it comes to living with adult children? Should there be rules? You must work or go to school, contribute to the household chores, and pay rent. It’s not as easy as it sounds to establish and stick to these boundaries. Pediatrician turned parenting coach, Dr. Hope Seidel, returns to the show for this episode to walk us through best practices for welcoming adult children home while keeping your sanity.

For many people, divorce is like a death, especially in midlife when you thought you had a plan for your future, and suddenly, it falls apart.

Unless you live under a rock, you can’t help but hear about them—weight loss drugs. About 15.5 million people, or six percent of all adults in the United States are taking an injectable weight loss drug. From memes about shrinking celebrities, to warnings about side-effects, and concerns about how to get a prescription and the high price of the drugs, there’s a lot of conflicting information out there. In this episode of AGELESS, we talk to a woman who says these drugs have been life-changing for her, and we consult with a medical professional, an expert in women’s health, who can break down the myths and explain the facts about why this new wave of weight loss medication is taking the country by storm. <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/caryheise/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/caryheise/</a> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/caryheise/">https://www.facebook.com/caryheise/</a> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/cary_heise/">https://www.instagram.com/cary_heise/</a> <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-catchings-08598b12/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-catchings-08598b12/</a> <a href= "https://www.avancecare.com/providers/susan-catchings-dnp-fnp-c/">Primary Care Provider in Cary, NC | Susan Catchings, DNP, FNP-C | Avance Care</a>

Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro; Drugs leading the weight loss drug revolution, who they are meant for and how they work

This is a podcast for women, about women, featuring women...It's about what happens when we turn 50 and our culture quietly deems us irrelevant. There's a new generation of 50+ women who are redefining what it means to thrive in the second half of our lives. Whether you are still raising children, working, caring for aging parents, or just looking for the next chapter, my guests will inspire you. This show was born out of the fact that I know so many rock star women who have important stories to tell. Join me in season two coming in January 2025 as we unpack their incredible journeys with laughter and sometimes tears.
