S2: E11. Staycation Extension

In this episode of "Staycation Extension," your host and producer, Connie Le Gendre, takes you on a journey through the ups and downs of her recent staycation. Retirement should be a time of leisure and relaxation, right? Connie shares her experiences, shedding light on the challenges of managing stress when faced with medical appointments, morning routines that clash with doctor's schedules, and the mundane tasks of daily life like grocery shopping and exercise. Connie explores the delicate balance between enjoying a fulfilling staycation and avoiding the pitfalls of overcommitment, all while providing valuable insights into the importance of keeping stress levels in check, regardless of age or circumstances. * #Staycation #RetiredLife #StressLess #HealthAndWellness #MorningRoutines #SelfCareJourney #WorkLifeBalance #OvercommitmentStruggles #AgeIsJustANumber Contact:  Con.pod12@gmail.com [Con.pod12@gmail.com]

Vacations and Staycations are Necessary Breaks

Two weeks is not enough even for a staycation.  I was about to take another week, but letting you know my progress is better than being inconsistent about posting episodes. I’ve done some research into adding some new skills and am excited about actually putting them into my arsenal of “finding my groove.”  I took my own advice and accomplished several medical appointments.  Health is my most important concern and I’m trying to keep it at the top of my to do list.  I have several followup appointments and am changing my posting to every two weeks, at least temporarily. For now, use the following email contact:  Con.pod12@gmail.com

Rejuvenating Health: The Wellness Benefits of Breaks from Routine

Both vacations and staycations offer valuable benefits for health and well-being. Taking time away from the regular routine, whether it's traveling to a new destination or staying home, can have positive effects on physical, mental, and emotional health. So, I am taking a staycation which will begin after this episode and I will be posting again the week of Labor Day - Friday, September 8, 2023.  You can find me at:  Spotify; Apple Podcast; Google Podcast; and iHeart.  They each have their own way of allowing you to comment, question, voice message,  share, and like.  Finding that out is on my staycation to do list.   Meanwhile, have a great rest of the summer.

Overall, I hope Season 1 of Black Women 60+ Finding Their Groove was an inspiring and empowering listen. It was a reminder that black women over the age of 60 are strong, resilient, and full of life. It was also a reminder that we all have something to learn from each other. If you missed season 1, be sure to check it out. And if you're a black woman 60+, we'd love to hear your story, comments or questions regardless of who you are. Please share your experiences with us by emailing us at:   Con.pod12@gmail.com.
