The Secret to "Winning" Midlife...

Hey, Reader, Have you ever met a woman who just seemed to be rocking midlife?

And donā€™t even get me started on the way that French women age - like a fine wine, as they say. Not only am I a Francophile who has devoured nearly every book on this subject, but my dearest friend is a French woman, so Iā€™m fortunate to have the inside scoop and in this weekā€™s podcast, I explore what makes French women so...
