Dear B.A.D.D.I.E.s Over 40™ —
Bold. Authentic. Dynamic. Determined. Inspiring. Empowered women.

Spring is here.
Which means it’s time to bloom.

One of my favorite women who ever lived, the incomparable B. Smith, once said:

“Whatever you do, do it with style.”

A chef. Entrepreneur. Author. Lifestyle icon.
She showed us that elegance, confidence, and creativity never go out of season.

So in that spirit…

Here are 28 Midlife Power Couture looks for a little style inspiration.

Think:

• architectural sleeves
• structured jumpsuits
• bold silhouettes
• couture volume
• statement textures
• modern power suits
• dramatic waistlines
• vibrant color
• unapologetic elegance

Because blooming in midlife isn’t about shrinking.

It’s about expanding into who you are.

And whatever you do this week…

do it with style.

✨ Weekly Recap for the B.A.D.D.I.E.s Over 40™

Just in case you missed this week…

We talked about auditing your life — noticing the shifts that come with midlife:
energy, seasons, and changes in your body — and making the adjustments that support your well-being.

In the Nourish Your Bloom series, we focused on protein:
• Why midlife women need more
• How much (about 90–110g/day)
• Food sources and supplements
• Tips for choosing a quality protein powder

If you missed it, scroll back and catch the posts.

👠 We also had our AI Couture of the Week — midlife power looks.

📖 And I announced the launch of the Q1 B.A.D.D.I.E.s Over 40™ Wellness Digital Magazine.

Nourish Your Bloom — Day 12 (Part 2)
Meeting your increased protein needs

Earlier today we talked about how protein needs increase after 40.

For many women, reaching 90–110 g of protein per day can feel challenging through food alone.

This is where protein supplements can be helpful.

They’re not a replacement for whole foods—but they can be a practical tool for helping you meet your daily protein needs.

For example:

• a smoothie at breakfast
• a shake after a workout
• added to oatmeal or yogurt

Evidence-informed tips for choosing a protein supplement

Look for products that provide:

• 20–30 g protein per serving
• minimal added sugars
• simple ingredient lists
• third-party testing (NSF, USP, or Informed Choice)

Both plant-based proteins (pea, soy, h**p) and whey protein can support muscle protein synthesis when consumed in adequate amounts.

The goal isn’t perfection.

The goal is consistently meeting your protein needs to support muscle, metabolism, and energy in midlife.

We’ll be exploring topics like this in more depth inside the B.A.D.D.I.E.s Over 40™ Wellness Digital Magazine, launching Monday.

The subscription will include access to past, current, and future issues.

Nourish Your Bloom — Day 10

Let’s talk about protein.

Before midlife, the standard recommendation is 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day — roughly 50–60 g daily for many women.

That prevents deficiency.

But it’s often too low for optimal health after 40.

During perimenopause and menopause, many experts recommend closer to:

1.2–1.6 g/kg per day

For most women, that’s about 90–110 g of protein daily, depending on body size and activity.

Higher protein intake helps support:

• muscle preservation
• metabolic health
• bone density
• blood sugar stability

How to spread it through the day

Breakfast: 25–30 g
Lunch: 30–35 g
Dinner: 30–35 g
Optional snack: 10–20 g

Plant-forward protein foods

½ cup lentils — 9 g
½ cup black beans — 7–8 g
½ cup pigeon peas — 7 g
½ cup chickpeas — 7 g
½ cup tofu — 10 g
2 tbsp peanut butter — 7–8 g

Other protein options

3 oz fish — 22–23 g
3 oz chicken — 25 g
3 oz goat — 23 g
2 eggs — 12 g

Plant-forward eating patterns are consistently linked with better metabolic and heart health outcomes.

Why this matters after 40

Estrogen decline can contribute to:

• loss of lean muscle
• reduced insulin sensitivity
• slower metabolism

Adequate protein helps support muscle, metabolism, and stable energy.

Meet the founder building the FemTech ecosystem for the Deep South.

Through the Deep South FemTech Association™, I’m working to connect founders, clinicians, researchers, and innovators advancing solutions in women’s health.

Because closing the women’s health gap will require innovation, collaboration, and ecosystem building.

Dear B.A.D.D.I.E.S. Over 40™ ✨

I’m hosting something special in Atlanta, and I want to personally invite you.

While building the B.A.D.D.I.E.S. Over 40™ platform, I’ve also been building something alongside it: the Deep South FemTech Association.

FemTech simply means technology and innovation focused on improving women’s health — from maternal and reproductive health to menopause, prevention, and healthy aging.

And one thing I believe deeply is this:

The Deep South is the next frontier for women’s health innovation.

Across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina, women still face persistent gaps in maternal health, reproductive health, menopause care, access to care, and health equity.

But we also have brilliant women building solutions.

So I’m bringing people together.

On May 7 in Atlanta, I’m hosting the Women’s Health Innovation Showcase: B.A.D.D.I.E.S. Over 40™ × FemTech Forward.

This will be a space where founders, clinicians, investors, researchers, students, and ecosystem partners come together to explore the future of women’s health.

✨ Panel conversations
✨ Community and connection
✨ A live FemTech founder demo showcase

We are selecting 8 founders to present their innovations.

So this is a special invitation to any B.A.D.D.I.E. Over 40™ who:

• is building a women’s health or health tech solution
• wants to showcase their innovation
• or simply wants to be in the room for the conversation about the future of women’s health

📍 MODEx Studio — Atlanta
📅 May 7
⏰ 2:00–5:30 PM

Let’s build the future of women’s health together.

Nourish Your Bloom

Many women think their midlife stress is purely emotional.

Often, it’s neurological and metabolic.

During perimenopause and menopause, fluctuating estrogen can make the nervous system more reactive to stress. At the same time, the body can become less sensitive to insulin, making blood sugar swings more likely.

Those swings don’t just affect energy.

They can amplify:
• irritability
• anxiety-like feelings
• brain fog
• fatigue

Food-as-Medicine strategy:
Build meals with 25–30g of protein, fiber-rich vegetables, and healthy fats to slow glucose absorption and support nervous system stability.

More insights like this are coming soon in the upcoming Q1 launch of the B.A.D.D.I.E.s Over 40™ Wellness Magazine.

Stay glowing — from the inside out.

Bloom gently this morning.

Before the meetings, the emails, the caregiving, the decisions…

Take a moment to regulate your nervous system.

Midlife bodies don’t respond well to rushing straight into stress.

A calmer start helps stabilize cortisol, blood sugar, and energy for the rest of the day.

Try this simple Bloom Ritual:

• Drink a glass of water
• Step outside or sit near natural light
• Take 5 slow, deep breaths
• Eat something nourishing within the first hour of waking

Small morning choices shape how we think, lead, and feel throughout the day.

Blooming in midlife isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about supporting the systems that support you.

Stay glowing — from the inside out.

Nourish Your Bloom — Day 8

Many women think they have an energy problem in midlife.

Often, what they’re experiencing is blood sugar instability. Often, what they’re experiencing is blood sugar instability.

During perimenopause and menopause, declining estrogen can make our cells less sensitive to insulin, meaning the body has to work harder to regulate blood sugar after meals.

This has nothing to do with whether someone has diabetes or not.

Even healthy, active women can experience greater glucose spikes and crashes during this stage of life.

Research links frequent blood sugar swings to:

• fatigue and brain fog
• stronger cravings
• increased abdominal fat storage
• inflammatory stress

In other words, those afternoon crashes aren’t just annoying — they’re metabolic signals.

Breakfast:
Eggs with sautéed callaloo, tomatoes, onions, and avocado, with a small side of boiled green plantain or roasted sweet potato.

Lunch:
Grilled or escovitch fish with peas and rice, and a generous serving of vegetables like cabbage, okra, greens, carrots, or peppers.

Meals like these help steady energy and reduce the sharp glucose swings that become more common after 40.

Stay tuned for more in the upcoming Q1 launch of the
B.A.D.D.I.E.s Over 40™ Wellness Magazine.

Dear B.A.D.D.I.E.s Over 40™ —
Bold. Authentic. Dynamic. Determined. Inspiring. Empowered women.

Pushing through is no longer an option.

In our 20s and 30s, many of us were taught to just keep going.
Push harder.
Push longer.
Push through.

But when we reach our midlife — especially in perimenopause and menopause — something shifts.

The body changes.
Hormones change.
Energy changes.

Midlife asks us to do something different.

Not push harder.

But pause.
Pay attention.
Understand what’s shifting.

Because we don’t bloom the same way in every season.

And in our midlife season, we often need different conditions to bloom well.

My challenge to you this week — and for the rest of this month — is simple:

Pay attention.

What has shifted in your body, your energy, your rhythms?

What adjustments might support you better in this season?

Blooming in midlife isn’t about forcing the body to perform the way it used to.

It’s about learning how to work with the season you’re in.

We’ll be exploring more of this in the upcoming issue of
B.A.D.D.I.E.s Over 40™ Wellness Magazine — launching soon.
