What if choosing your word for 2026 felt less like pressure — and more like permission?

In this episode of Find Yourself After 40, Stacey Creely shares how she chose her word for 2026 — Permission — and why this simple, intentional practice can be more powerful than traditional New Year’s resolutions, especially in midlife.

From navigating rest, boundaries, health changes, and personal growth after 40, this episode invites women and men to slow down, reflect, and choose a word that supports the season they’re in — not the one they think they “should” be in.

Stacey also shares the moment her word found her (in pajamas, on the couch, watching Netflix) and why sometimes the most meaningful clarity comes when we stop forcing it.

As we close out 2025 and step into a brand-new year, this episode is an invitation to put yourself back on your own priority list.

In this conversation, Stacey Creely sits down with Dr. Ashley Martinez to talk openly and honestly about feminine health after 40—a topic so many women experience, yet few feel comfortable discussing.

We cover:

• Why feminine health changes after 40

• What’s normal — and what’s not

• How hormones impact confidence, comfort, and intimacy

• Signs your body may be asking for support

• Why prioritizing feminine health is an act of self-respect, not vanity

This isn’t about fear or fixing yourself.
It’s about starting the new year informed, empowered, and in tune with your body.

✨ If 2026 is the year you stop ignoring the whispers and start listening to yourself — this episode is for you.
