Ever get friendship dumped? đđťââď¸
It happens, especially as we grow older. But when it comes to friendships, Maryjane Fahey ( @gloriousbroads ) has some wise words: youâre allowed to âeditâ your friends. That means letting go of your friends of 35 years, if necessary, to make space for new friends in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond!

After years of managing my Parkinsonâs symptoms, I recently underwent focused ultrasound treatment, and the results have been life-changing. Iâm stepping into the light to talk about this journey because I want everyone facing this diagnosis to know there is a path forward.
Huge thank you to Maggie Ryan and @thisisflowspace for helping me tell this story. Letâs keep pushing, keep researching, and keep believing.
How Jennifer Aniston trains her core:
We tapped her trainer, @dani_bcoleman (head of training at @pvolve ), to break down a short, effective circuit you can do with just a small stability ball.
Designed to target the full coreâfront, sides, back, and deep stabilizersâthis sequence builds strength, posture & control.
The workout:
â Glute bridge + inner thigh squeeze: 15 reps
â Dead bugs: 10 per side
â Ball curls: 15 reps
â Prone back extension: 12 reps
â Side plank + leg lift: 20â30 sec
â Plank with stability ball challenge: 30â60 sec
Repeat 2â3 rounds, resting 60 seconds between each.
SAVE THIS for your next movement session!

As the weather heats up, so does the pressure to show a little more skin...and in midlife, that doesnât always come with confidence.
But @selmablair swears by one simple style rule: wear what makes you feel good, not what trends tell you to.
For her, that means longer hemlines...and a little humor!
What are your go-to style tips for feeling confident in midlife? đđź
