Reinvention doesn’t wait for permission. After a career-ending car accident and the loss of both parents before 40, Tina Coleman made a radical choice one week later: she boarded a plane for her first solo international trip. That single leap cracked open a new life—full-time travel, sobriety, a 90‑pound health transformation, and a mission to help Gen X women trade exhaustion for agency.

We dive into what makes midlife uniquely powerful: hard-won wisdom, sharper boundaries, and the freedom to choose again. Tina shares the story behind her boldly titled upcoming book, 50, Fabulous, and Fuckable, and why the most subversive move isn’t chasing youth but embodying presence. We challenge myths about gray hair, desirability, and the belief that perimenopause blocks weight loss. Tina explains how Ayurvedic rhythms, mindful eating, and strength training reshaped her health, while EFT tapping and simple nervous system resets helped quiet stress cravings and improve sleep.

The conversation moves from mindset to method: five-minute journaling to clear mental clutter, Yoga Nidra to restore energy, restorative and yin yoga to unlock deep tension, and bodywork to release what talk can’t reach. We talk freedom and simplicity abroad—walking cities, market food, and daily human connection—and share safe, realistic ways to make travel affordable with house sitting, work exchanges, and slow itineraries. You’ll leave with practical tools, a reframe on aging, and a spark to design a life that feels like yours again.
