Hey, J.J. here.

Are knocking at the door this year? One minute it's pumpkin spice season, the next you're getting your guest room ready and wondering where their wrapping paper went. And that's when I turned to Wayfair. From bedding and towels to holiday decor and last minute stocking stuffers, Wayfair has everything you need to get your home and holidays together fast. And for way less. With Wayfair, I know I can refresh my guest room in no time. Maybe I'll add a soft new comforter or a few holiday throw pillows.

Wayfair Every style, every home. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I R.com hey, it's JJ here. You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals. Right now you can try Earth Breeze for up to 40% off with free gifts@earthbreeze.com virgin that's earthbreeze.com virgin for up to 40% off plus free gifts on.

Are you ready to get well beyond 40? Hey, it's JJ Virgin and we're taking an exciting new direction with the podcast. I've been doing podcasts for years, interviewing hundreds of guests in the health and wellness world and doing solo episodes to explore the topics that I'm passionate about. Topics like how to fuel your body for optimal health and weight loss and building muscle to stay strong as you age. I love talking about those things and from the feedback I've had from so.
Many of you over the years, you do too.
But I've got to tell you, as I'm celebrating my 60th birthday this year and feeling the best I've ever felt, I want to expand the conversation and empower women in the second half of their lives to define, defy the stereotypes of aging and say it's my time, now it's my turn. Now it's my opportunity to step into my best life. So how is this new podcast different.
From Ask the Health Expert?
Well, every week I'll still be interviewing guests who are leaders in their fields and unpacking the most up to date science and information in the wellness world. But I also want to keep shaping my content to fit the needs of where you are in your life right now.
So I'll be diving a bit deeper.
Into topics like cultivating mindfulness, building strong relationships and setting boundaries and aging beautifully.
In a nutshell, how we can grow.
Powerfully into the second half of our lives.

Hello listeners, this is Ann Boeckle, author, blogger, and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I take all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next read. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately, and I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading. Next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything, you'll learn something about yourself as a reader, and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try. So join us each Tuesday for what Should I Read Next? Subscribe now wherever you're listening to this podcast and visit our website what Should I read next podcast.com to find out more.
