Fall Check-In: Friendship After 40, Female Loneliness & the TIU Fall Challenge

In this autumn check-in episode of Tone It Down, Karena sits down solo to chat about the season of new routines, the loneliness so many women feel in their 40s and 50s, and why she built this year's Fall Challenge around the one thing we’re all nostalgic for: being together. She shares the simple, real-life ways she's been making new friends (shy girls, this one's for you!), explains why you don't have to wait until January to feel good, and answers your voicemails about her favorite creators and whether Tone It Up is hiring.
