Description: In this episode of Over 50 and Flourishing, I sit down with Gabby Reece for a powerful conversation about identity, resilience, and what it really means to live strong.Gabby Reece is a former professional beach volleyball player, Nike’s first female signature athlete, and a wellness entrepreneur who has spent decades helping women redefine strength beyond performance. From a childhood marked by instability to building a life rooted in discipline, purpose, and authenticity, Gabby brings both lived experience and hard-earned wisdom to the conversation.We talk about letting go of guilt and learning to prioritize your own wellbeing, the identity shifts that come with motherhood, and how to maintain a sense of self while raising children. We also explore setting boundaries with family, redefining strength through femininity and emotional awareness, navigating long-term relationships with honesty and respect, and why taking care of yourself first is essential, not selfish.For more on Gabby, follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabbyreece/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OfficialGabrielleReece/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabbyreeceofficial Watch her podcast, The Gabby Reece Show: https://www.youtube.com/c/gabbyreece Website: https://gabbyreece.com/ Thanks to my Sponsors:Hero Bread: Go to hero.co and use code FLOURISHING at checkout for 10% off your orderHill House Home: Get 15% off your first order of $100 or more at HillHouseHome.com with code FLOURISHINGRitual: Save 25% on your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50 O Positiv: Head to OPositiv.com/FLOURISHING or enter FLOURISHING at checkout for 25% off your first purchase Wayfair: Head to Wayfair.com right now to shop all things homeAcademy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Visit eatright.org/everytable to learn more and find a nutrition and dietetics professional Gusto: Try Gusto today at gusto.com/OVER50, and get three months free when you run your first payroll. Keep in Touch:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dominiquesachse.tv/book/Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dominiquesachse/Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DominiqueSachse/TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@dominiquesachse?lang=enYouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@dominiquesachsetvHave a question for Dominique?
