Gen Xers have been often coined as being lost...or even worse ,"invisible"! Like, uh what? But, real talk are we to blame for some of this incorrect stereotypical image? Do we show up for ourselves and truly give the world the best that we've got? Or are we simply too tired and don't care? Or is it something else altogether?Join us as we talk with Carla Palmer, the Founder of the "Get your sexy back" movement. We discuss what the REAL problem is with GenXers being authentic, how getting older plays a MAJOR role and how to stop the stank before it starts! This show is one that will leave you with a real plan, and real answers that might surprise you. Meet Carla Palmer the Founder of the Get Your Sexy Back! Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Carla has resided in Los Angeles, CA for 30+ years. In addition to being a health and fitness enthusiast, she is the mom to a wonderful adult son. She's a humanitarian, philanthropist, public speaker, professional fundraiser and development consultant. She currently serves as the Director of Development for a nonprofit in Los Angeles, CA with an operating budget of 7.4M dollars. Over a decade ago, during the tail end of a challenging 3 year relationship, Carla realized she had focused so much time and energy on the relationship and her role as a single mom, that her health and weight management had taken a backseat to everything else. The once vibrant, energetic, size 8 Carla, had gone up 4 dress sizes and lost her zest for life. Tired of merely existing to take care of others, Carla decided to make a change. Going back to her childhood love for jump rope, she set out on a journey to get her sexy back. ______ Guest's Contact: https://www.gysbmovement.com/ Life at the Half website: www.LifeattheHalf.com Our LinkTree: Linktr.ee/LifeattheHalf
