Ep. 41 - Running Through Life From Dietitian to Life Coach

In this episode of Your Life Over 50, Jean interviews Caryn, a vibrant 51-year-old life coach from Omaha, Nebraska. Caryn used to be a dietitian and endurance coach, but now she helps women, especially those between 45 and 55, learn how to love themselves and prioritize their own health and happiness. She talks about how many women spend years caring for everyone else and often forget to take care of themselves. Caryn encourages women to start each day by checking in with their own feelings and needs—even just placing a hand over their heart and asking, “What do I want today?” She believes that small changes, like this morning habit, can help women reconnect with who they are. Caryn shares her personal journey, including going through a divorce about ten years ago, and how that hard time led her to start focusing on self-love and personal growth. She also talks about the guilt many women feel when doing something for themselves and how she had to work through that feeling over time. She explains how her career started in hospitals helping people eat better after serious health scares. Over time, though, she realized she wanted to help people before they got sick. That’s what led her to mindset coaching, because she saw that emotions and beliefs often affect our health choices more than just food plans. Caryn also shares her passion for running. She’s completed marathons, half-marathons, and even an Ironman triathlon! She loves helping other women train for races and build healthy habits. For her, running isn’t about speed—it’s about feeling strong and being in nature. At the end of the conversation, Caryn encourages women over 50 to dream big, take care of their bodies, and believe that they can still do amazing things. She says it’s never too late to start something new and become who you want to be. You can find Caryn on Facebook under her name, or on Instagram at @carynfemininefrequency. She’s also rebranding her business to “Abundant and Aligned Mind and Body.”  If you have questions or comments, reach out to Caryn.
