Welcome back to another fantastic episode of The Midlife Makeover Show! Today, host Wendy Valentine is joined by the dynamic and inspiring Yvonne Marchese, the incredible host of the Late Bloomer Living podcast and the Age Agitators Club for women. Yvonne is a speaker, professional photographer, and author whose book In Full Bloom: A Guide to Aging Playfully reached number three on Amazon's midlife bestseller list. Yvonne is here to share the power of embracing playfulness in midlife, believing that play is essential to our health and creativity.   In this enlightening conversation, Yvonne and Wendy explore the importance of giving ourselves permission to play, the benefits of staying curious, and how play can lead to personal growth and rejuvenation. Yvonne shares her journey from being a "good girl" focused on goals and responsibilities to rediscovering the joy of play through activities like roller skating and dancing. They discuss the societal pressures that often push us to abandon playfulness in favor of adult responsibilities and how midlife is a perfect time to reclaim that playful spirit.   Yvonne emphasizes that play doesn't have to be extravagant or wild; it can be as simple as enjoying a cup of coffee at a bookstore or taking a relaxing bath. The key is to find what makes you feel good and incorporate it into your daily routine. Wendy and Yvonne also touch on the transformative power of small changes and the importance of being aware of our thoughts and how they shape our actions.   Get ready for an episode filled with laughter, wisdom, and practical tips to help you inject more joy and play into your everyday routine. This conversation will leave you feeling motivated to embrace playfulness and live life to the fullest at any age.   👉 Connect with Yvonne Websites: https://latebloomerliving.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latebloomerliving/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latebloomerlivingFreebie Download of 3 Midlife Meditations: https://mailchi.mp/d1a9b43026cb/wave-making-midlife-meditations   🎙 Listen to the Podcast http://themidlifemakeovershow.com   🦸‍♀️ Take the Superhero Quiz http://mysuperheroquiz.com      🎥 Subscribe to my YouTube channel http://midlifemakeoveryoutube.com   💥 Follow me on IG https://www.instagram.com/wendy_valentine_/   🥰 Get Your Free Happiness Hacks Download http://wendyvalentine.com/happiness   🤩 Join the FREEDOM at Midlife Program http://freedomatmidlife.com   🛍️ Shop my Amazon Store http://amazon.wendyvalentine.com    🎤Nominate a Guest   http://midlifemakeoverguest.com   ☎️ Call the Midlife Hotline 888-238-2998   ⭐️ Leave a 5 Star Review http://reviewtheshow.com   🤓 Read the Blog https://wendyvalentine.com/blog/   🗞 Get The Midlife News  http://themidlifenews.com   😊 All the Midlife Goods https://wendyvalentine.com   ❤️ Join the Club http://themidlifemakeoverclub.com    🐦 Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/midlife_show   🧵 Follow me on Threads https://www.threads.net/@wendy_valentine_     📌 Follow me on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/wendy_valentine_/
