GlowInto

For Jordan Kimler, writing about memory means writing about her grandma Shirley. 💜

After losing Shirley to Alzheimer’s disease, Jordan brings a personal perspective to her latest GlowInto Longevity article. She shares why brain health matters to her and explores how menopause and metabolic health fit into the conversation about memory for women over 40.

During National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, we’re grateful to Jordan for sharing a piece of her family’s story with us.

Waiting to feel better before you start taking care of yourself? Doreen Warfield of Studio Strong has a message for you: You don’t have to feel good to get stronger.

In her November contribution to GlowInto-Longevity, Doreen explores strength, movement, nutrition, and long-term health through menopause. It’s an encouraging reminder that taking care of yourself can start with small steps, even when you aren’t feeling your best.

November is also a time to celebrate women’s entrepreneurship! If you have a new business or are launching something and would like to share your story through a Q&A with GlowInto, I’d love to hear from you.

📧 Email me at [email protected] or send a private message to the GlowInto page. Let’s talk about what you’re building!

It’s true, when you find the thing you love, it doesn’t feel like work. Somehow, almost magically, the energy appears. You find yourself working harder, putting in more hours, and discovering more energy than you ever thought possible. That’s what GlowInto has been for me. 💜

✨ Happy November 1st!

As we begin a new month, I’m reflecting on October’s women of GlowInto, what their experiences have taught them, and the wisdom they would share with their younger selves.

💫 Regina Dockens: “Don’t be so afraid. Be okay with who you are.”

💫 Marianne Moore: “I'm not done. Not even close to done.”

💫 Janine Lange: “If I can see it, I can be it.”

💫 Suzy Bushur: “You're gonna do it, girl.”

Does having boundaries make me a witch? 🧙‍♀️✨

If you’ve ever said yes while silently wishing you could say no, this Glow & Tell episode might feel familiar.

We’re wrapping up our Halloween series with three fictional scenarios: the grandmother everyone counts on, the woman who never truly clocks out, and the friend whose calendar is full but whose energy is gone.

We’ll talk about guilt, expectations, and finding the words to set limits with kindness. Because how we deliver a boundary matters, too. 💜

🎧 Listen to “Does Having Boundaries Make Me a Witch?” on the GlowInto Podcast, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

Which is hardest for you: setting boundaries with family, at work, or with friends?

✨ What does it look like to create a place where people can take a little time for themselves and feel welcome doing it?

For Suzy Bushur, that vision is taking shape at The Beach Tanning Spa. Through an expanding mix of wellness experiences and a team helping bring it all together, she’s creating space for people to recharge, connect, and discover something new.

“Making Room for Wellness and Community at The Beach” is out now! Read the full story and explore the photos. 💛

🎧 You can also listen to Suzy’s story on the GlowInto Podcast, now available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

Real women, real stories, wisdom for what’s next.

Grief can begin before a goodbye. It can follow us into relationships, change the way we see ourselves, and leave us wondering how to begin again.

Through her podcast, Female Voices: Life & Loss, Teresa Reiniger creates space for honest conversations about those experiences and the lives we continue building around them.

In our new What Shapes Us Now feature on GlowInto, we’re sharing a guide to her September episodes:

💜 Suzy McNamara on caring for her husband through early-onset Alzheimer’s while carrying another devastating loss.
💜 Teresa on what to say to someone who is grieving, and respecting the parts of their story they choose to keep private.
💜 Lauren Johnston on childhood grief, relationships, and starting over in Belize at 60.
💜 Diane Namm on children, memory, and helping families talk about loss.
