Starting Over Without Shrinking: Breathwork, Midlife Courage & Beauty (with Jill McKeon)
Thu Feb 05 2026
What if the next chapter of your life isn’t about fixing yourself but trusting yourself?
In this deeply grounding episode of The Luminous Life Podcast, Erika sits down with Jill McKeon, yoga teacher and owner of Village Yoga (Glen Rock, NJ), for a conversation that begins with breathwork and unfolds into something much bigger: how women grow, change, begin again, and stay connected to themselves through it all.
This is a conversation about midlife bravery, long marriage truths, community as medicine, and redefining beauty as something you feel not something you chase. It’s honest, funny, emotional, and deeply regulating.
This is beauty without the BS, exactly as it was meant to be.
What we talk about:
A grounding breathwork practice to help you land (do it with us)
What it really looks like to start over in your 50s
Owning a business without losing your soul
Building community beyond fitness: yoga, dance, sobriety, creativity
Long marriage honesty: love, resentment, commitment, and repair
Parenting through crisis and how it reshapes courage
Aging, beauty, injectables, lasers, and staying you
Pleasure, intimacy, and why caring for your body matters more with time
If you’re feeling the pull to reconnect with what makes you feel alive this conversation will meet you right where you are
