October is Menopause Awareness Month, and in recognition of this, I'm dedicating every episode to unique and important conversations about menopause. In April, I hosted an incredible event with leading experts: Dr. Sheila Wajayasignhe, Janet Ko, founder of the Menopause Foundation of Canada, and menopause coach and fitness expert Amanda Thebe. Together, these experts tackled all the big questions: - What is menopause, and does everyone experience it?- How severe can the symptoms get, and are any of them dangerous? - What treatments are available, and is hormone therapy suitable for everyone? - How do I access proper care, and what can I do if my doctor isn't taking me seriously? - How can lifestyle changes help manage symptoms? - What can I do if my mental health is suffering? - How does menopause affect sex drive and urinary incontinence? - Why am I gaining weight, and how can I stop it? Plus, we addressed even more audience questions, diving deep into every aspect of this life transition. We cover it all—so tune in to listen, learn, and even share a laugh on the next episode of *Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo*.Episode supported by Always Discreet (@AlwaysDiscreet on Instagram)! Click here for your Always Discreet coupon: https://checkout51.app.link/e/K3yAUdFCUKbFind Melissa Grelo on Instagram @MelissaGrelo and @AgingPowerfullyWithMG, or on her website AgingPowerfullyWithMelissaGrelo.com.

#263 with Amanda; https://open.spotify.com/episode/0ZQn8ejjmx4Opbw4Ub1Zg1?si=_V9edQndSMafO7Sp_nFtJg https://amandathebe.com/book/ Progesterone & estrogen symptoms all over the body Neurological also… everyone experiences it differently Nutrition science is a science and it isnt made Alot changes that impacts that ratio Why do some women experience weight gain during menopause despite not changing their diet or exercise habits? Can you explain how metabolism changes during menopause and how this impacts fat loss - aka the myths around it knowing that it doesnt actually change A more sophisticated approach, when you are in perimeno you cant risk winging it anymore. You need a strategy Things will never work the same anymore becuase youre lifestyle is so much more different, your stress levels, maybe your sleep Normalising the fat shift is so important Also how we lose collagen and elastin so our skin is also less tight Even HOW we move and how much we burn with the same movements drops because we do get slower… As our metabolism does fall in our laste 60s and 70s… we physiologically also have our appetites reduce then but it increases for the wrong food and its hard if you havent built the lifestyle and habits around lean, strong, healthy , the things that actually DO change and how we can keep our metabolisms fiery, our muscles strong and growing & avoid the dreaded meno-belly and fat gain most see HOW we train Grief of our youth going Acceptance of menopause Shifting goals Just how much more important is protein as we age and how can shifting our nutrition approach to be more intentional about increasing protein not only in general but in each meal can help I see snacking to be the biggest issue with perimeno and it becomes a new bad habit due to the emotional changes as well… what can women do to manage it? What are some common myths about strength training for women over 40? What role does recovery play in training for women over 40, and how can they optimize their recovery? Mentioning you cant tell the hormone indflucenes i quickly want to tough on body image Theres so many myths around cardio being bad for women in perimeno, especially long steadystate aka zone 2. I speak at lengths about this on how its super beneficial bc estrogen for heart drops so theres that need for added heart health But its all about lifestyle, training and nutrition in one Can you recover Are you feeding it Are you being silly and cutting carbs and doing crash diets trying to burn fat and lose weight with cardio or use it as a health tool We were talking about symptoms before like hot flashes sleep etcetc - Going based off symptoms (jen gunter) HRT, so many myths around oit being artificial hormones in your body is bad, youll just gain weight when you stop them, etcet… can we further on our last podcast together on this in how and where HRT plays a role, when to seek help, how to seek help and advocate for yourself because many docs are unaware And how to test for it because sadly many are so out of the loop with research on the best testing… so they jump through loops where from what i understand, when youre of a certain age is most important to go by symptoms to then prescribe it and then test from there How can HRT improve energy & motivation + help peoples health and fitness and physique goals? Alcohol - how can this impact hormones, fat gain, sleep and all the other things… id add in impacting recovery, muscle and strength training etc… How else can it impact women and what are the health effects around menopause! Especially with symptoms

In this conversation, Amanda Thebe discusses her personal experience with perimenopause and the lack of information and support available to women. She highlights the controversy and debate surrounding menopause, particularly in the medical and fitness industries. Amanda shares her frustration with the outdated beliefs and dismissive attitudes she encountered from healthcare professionals. She emphasizes the importance of education and awareness about menopause and the need for better support and resources for women going through this transition.

The lack of mandatory training for doctors and the absence of intergenerational conversations have created a knowledge gap. Women are left feeling lost and vulnerable, while some medical professionals and coaches take advantage of this situation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of supporting women through their menopause journey and providing accurate information. It also highlights the need to focus on lifestyle interventions, such as exercise and nutrition, alongside hormone therapy. The chapter titles could include 'The Knowledge Gap in Menopause Care', 'The Influence of Celebrity Doctors and Coaches', and 'The Importance of Supporting Women and Sticking to Basics'. In this part of the conversation, Amanda and Aram discuss how to shift the conversation around women in midlife and focus on how they feel and show up in the world, rather than their appearance. Amanda shares her personal experience of feeling unhappy with her body during perimenopause and how she took steps to redefine herself and prioritize her well-being. They also discuss the importance of accepting and adjusting to the changes that come with menopause, as well as the role of strength training in building confidence and feeling capable.

Menopausal women are overloaded with information, but not all of it is accurate or safe. Social media is rife with misinformation, and unfortunately, the diet and fitness industry follows many unethical marketing practices. I'm joined by Amanda Thebe to discuss the realities of coaching menopausal women, how to choose ethical coaches, and why there is finally a spotlight on menopause. Key Takeaways Find an Ethical Trainer by Checking Out: Personal recommendations Reviews and testimonials Trusting your own industry knowledge About Amanda Thebe Amanda Thebe is the co-founder and Chief Wellness and Branding Officer at Nyah Health and the author of the Amazon best-selling book Menopocalypse: How I Learned to Thrive During Menopause and How You Can Too!

She is also an affiliated member of the Canadian and  North American Menopause Society. Misinformation In Social Media Social media can seriously change our perception of menopause… and not always for the best. There is so much misinformation out there from uninformed coaches who recommend pseudoscience and diagnose without the proper qualifications. Only a doctor can diagnose that you are in menopause – a coach can help once you have a diagnosis. There is a huge market for menopause products and services right now because women are finally open about their experiences. Coaches are finally becoming menopause informed. And overall, there is a huge improvement for women experiencing menopause. Finding An Ethical Trainer But, as an industry, we need to do better. So many unethical marketing practices are in use, essentially selling women something that doesn't exist. Menopausal women deserve better, and the diet and fitness industry can give it to them. So, how do women find an ethical fitness plan and ethical trainer? It comes down to personal recommendations, reviews, testimonials, and having basic industry knowledge. If something sounds too good to be true, that's because it probably is. Ladies, do your due diligence! What has your experience been like finding a menopause-informed trainer? Share your thoughts with me in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode How social media can change our perception and understanding of menopause (9:30) How coaches can help after diagnosis (16:00) Why there is a larger market for menopause-related products now (17:30) How more coaches are becoming menopause informed (29:00) Why the diet and fitness industry often uses unethical marketing tactics (42:00) How to help people find ethical fitness plans (46:00) The comparison between a personal trainer and going to the gym on your own (50:00) Quotes “Women with menopause are really seeking answers. They are really frustrated. They do not feel good on a day-to-day basis. They want to feel better.” (18:30) “Listen, I can help you. But there isn't a magic pill. And there isn't anything dynamic we're going to do. I'm going get you to nail the basics,  and I'm going to get you to understand.” (22:51) “We can't always help people fix those things. It is outside our scope. The diet industry of our time has gotten so bad. I feel like it's particularly bad now for menopausal women because we have a pain point that they see.” (36:54) “If you're going to stop this from happening and you want to do better in this industry, then it's on you to do better.” (40:48) “I know that finances can be a barrier to this, but I feel very strongly that if someone is new to lifting weights, they're going to get so much mileage out of working with a trustworthy trainer.” (48:18) Featured on the Show Apply for Strength Nutrition Unlocked Here Listen to With All Due Respect Find Amanda Thebe Online  Follow Amanda on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | LinkedIn Full show notes Follow Steph on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Pinterest I'd really love it if you would take 1 min and leave us a rating and review on iTunes!

It didn't help me like experience, engagement with other people with this like, truth out there, right? Because like, I felt like they don't, it's none of their business.They don't need to know, but it just kept eating at me, and it wasn't until I began to share with other people, oh yeah, I've actually been going through like a divorce right now.

If you're listening on the other places, I don't know how they work, but it's, you know, what you want to listen to Renee's especially if you've ever like felt like, oh my gosh, I'm embarrassed about this past thing I had in my life.I thought it was so Brad Crowell: great. Yeah. Very liberating. And [00:02:00] also I appreciate the experience that she went through and you know what she's, how she's bringing her experience to other people who are suffering and in need. So that was pretty awesome. Lesley Logan: Yeah, and I was just able to see her in real life at her Brad Crowell: event and... yeah, in case you're wondering what we're alluding to, she's a divorce attorney. Lesley Logan: Yeah. Yeah. Brad Crowell: And she's actually gone through divorce herself Lesley Logan: In case you're listening to this out of order. She's like... (Brad: Right) So her book, She Who Wins, which is also the name of her podcast and also the name of her event, comes out this September.You guys, you can pre-order that book right now. And there's like special goodies that happen if you do pre-order the book and the way books go, loves, is, it all matters on the pre-orders now. So everything's always changing. Brad Crowell: Yeah, that's the truth. Um, yeah. Well, let's just jump right into it. Lesley Logan: So today, Yeah! Is National, International Reef Day.It'slike World Reef Day. Brad Crowell: yeah, So, [00:03:00] not that Lesley and I are surfers by any means... (Brad: but no, but you, we need the reefs). We need the reefs. I'm a big fan of keeping plastics out of the ocean, which is an obviously an incredible it's incredible how much plastic is currently in the ocean. In fact, when we were just flying to Korea on the way we stopped over in Honolulu. We had a layover there. Both ways. And I was watching a really fascinating documentary about the native, bringing back the native Hawaiian culture from like thousands of years. And they talked about the pan Pacific, you know, the ocean as if it was like its own continent. And how, you know, thousands of years ago people jumped on canoes and they explored the oceans bythe stars. Like, could youimagine? Oh my gosh. Like the way that [00:04:00] people took a wagon and drove across North America. Wow. No. they were like, we're gonna go that way and hope that we hit land. Lesley Logan: Yeah. And the, and the scars are moving, but that's fine. Brad Crowell: I mean, pretty intense. Anyway, they, they were, they were talking all about the reefs and it really got me fired up about them again. Lesley Logan: So, so y'all get rid of your sunscreen and make sure you have sunscreen that is safe for, well, this is, I guess if you're going to a pool, do whatever you wanna do.But if you're going into natural waters, you're going into the ocean, you must use a special sunscreen. So if you actually go to this World Reef Awareness Days site, they say you can observe this day by doing beach cleanup. You could become a virtual diver. Which I guess you do virtual tours. What, how is that helping anyways? Don't know this is their suggestion. Well, you probably just, I think once you're aware of things, it's hard to like be an asshole.Then you can make yourown sunscreen that's actually really healthy for the reefs. So those are some things you can do. But truly, honestly, like if you can... Brad Crowell: Just roll in mud, that's your sunscreen.Lesley Logan: I think they have bees wax in there, which is [00:05:00] only concerning because of the bees. We have a problem with the bees shortage and then there's a, y'all, there's a lot of stuff going on.Please be kindto the reefs cuz we actually really do support the ocean's microbiology and it actually affects your life in other ways if you don't, if you live near an ocean.So talk like, you know, do the right thing. Call your friend who's going to the beach and make sure they're not using sunscreen that's gonna kill the reefs. Yeah. Anyways, we also have some other stuff going on right now. So, this is coming outJune 1st. We're a couple weeks away of doing a webinar for Profitable Pilates on how to convert first time clients.So if you are a Pilates teacher or trained to be one. You will want to be at this webinar.

And they're all, they're on these various topics and all stuff, so you'll be the first to know when you're on the wait list.And we give you all sorts of hookups and stuff, so check out the show notes. Yeah. Lesley Logan: And then in July we have the Mullet tour in the northern part of the UK, Claire Sparrow's studio, which we're so excited about.Brad Crowell: Oh, I cannot wait That's exciting. It's gonna be amazing. Lesley Logan: At the time that we're recording this, we only have four spots left. Brad Crowell: Yeah, I know. It's insane. It's awesome. Yeah. It's so exciting. Lesley Logan: Yeah. And it's a really great small group. We're so, so, so excited about it. In August, we are doing our summer tour.We have not released the cities yet, but we'll release so soon. So make sure youstay tuned. Brad Crowell: Yeah. All right. And then we actually, we, you know, you've heard us talk about all, our, all the rest of our plans and all the things, but yeah,summer tour is gonna be superfun and we've got some exciting news about that coming to you soon, with some sponsors and all sorts of stuff [00:07:00] that's kicking off. So it's gonna be great. But before we do that, let's see, we have an audience question today. From Karen Campbell. Thanks for submittingg this question. Karen is saying I'd be interested to see an episodeabout menopause and specifically how to best support health for premenopausal women with herbal remedies. I saw a few episodes in lineup on women's health and maintaining hormonal balance. So maybe this topic's already been covered. If it hasn't been done, could you bring on a specialist to discuss it? Lesley Logan: So we are working on a menopause expert. To be honest, it's actually been a little tricky.Hmm. So we are working on getting an actual expert just in menopause. So we have, thank you, Karen, for bringing this up. But here's the other thing about pre-menopause and all this stuff. It's so different for every single person. Like it is so different. So here are some, some places you can go for some more information for you right now until you wait.I don't want you to wait for this advice. So here's the thing, there's a book called Menopocalypse. Yes. I'm [00:08:00] trying if you know the author of Menopocalypse everyone. I would like her on the show if she's listening to this, if she's to Google alert, hello, I want you on the show. The book is called Menopocalypse.Even Brad listened to that book as well... (Brad: Idid.) It's really, really helpful. She explains like all the stuff about perimenopause and menopause that I like, a lot of stuff that they just don't talk about. And also the fears that are out there that are ...(Brad: Amanda Thebe) yeah. Thebe. So, hi Amanda. Come on the show.Then also you guys, Sara Gottlieb. I heard her on Huber's podcast. Uh, she has several books out there and she actually has a hormone reset book. I have not done the hormone reset, to be honest. Elimination diets get a little bit hard for their, I have tendencies. I try to avoid those kinds of things. So Brad's been with me on elimination diets.We just are tryingnot to do them anymore. They, Brad Crowell: I just, that's the point where I just tell her it's all in your head, babe. Lesley Logan: No, it's not. So here's the deal. However, my dear friend has done SarahGottlieb's hormone reset [00:09:00] and really did get some value out of it in her peri menopause journey. Cool. So Sara Gottlieb has some great books on hormones, hormonal diet you can do, and also has been on a Huberman talking about that.Hmm. When it comes to herbal remedies, I look, I wish that I could tell you what those are. I'm not actually perimenopausal yet, so I haven't dove into myself. But in Amanda Thebe's book, there was some really great stuff including breath work. So you guys breath work is. Breath work, breath work, breath work.You could just do so much. And for what, what Amanda brought up was box breathing, which is inhale for four. Hold for four. Exhale for four. Hold for four. Brad Crowell: And I do this to go to sleep sometimes. Lesley Logan: Yes. Yes. It's so helpful. But it's very much aboutexpanding the gut and breathing all the way down into your pubic bone.And then when you exhale, she was like, and imagine just like pulling up, you know, your privates up like, a tissue coming out of a box and like that's how you excel. So it's not like the. Force like compressive, but like very much a uplifting exhale. Hmm. And that could be [00:10:00] really, really great. ...(Brad: good visuals.)So, as far as maintaining hormone balance, balance, you guys do not be, like, there's a lot of stuff out there about H R T. It's just hormone replacement therapy.If it works for you, it works for you.Brad Crowell: So, yeah, she, in Amanda Thebe's book, you talked about that and, and yeah, I thought it was an interesting, I'd never even heard of it. So yeah, it was an interesting, like, exposure to what it is, what it could be, what it isn't, how like it's been. You know, there's like good and bad things out there about it. So,218 Renee Bauer RECAP ROUGH: yeah. Lesley Logan: So until I can get a specialist on here, and again, I'm working on it, I'm, it's, I'm trying to find. Someone who schedule lines upwith mine, I would highly recommend those two, those two books. And then also telemedicine's really amazing. There are specialists, there are female doctor specialists in this that will do a telemedicine talk with you, and then you can get some, cream, some hormones, some patches.Um, the other thing is, is like anything you have to be connected to your body. You guys. So if you are someone who's walking around a little bit disconnected, you might not understand that some of the symptoms you [00:11:00] have are perimenopausal. You might be thinking that it's food or that it's stress or something like that.So, just journal what's going on in your body right now. So until you can find the person that really works for you, you can keep a log of how you're feeling on each day cuz then when they ask you how long you've been feeling like this, you don't feel like, I don't know how long I've been feeling Brad Crowell: like this.That's a good point. because that's something you can start right now. For free. For Lesley Logan: free. So Karen, I hope to have a specialist soon. We've had other people wanting a menopause expert. Ihear you. It's coming. And hopefully that gives you some help for right Brad Crowell: now. Loveit. Okay. Now let's talk about Renee Bauer With two decades of experience as a divorce lawyer. Renee has emergedas a powerful advocate in the women's empowerment space. She's forged a platform that bolds her self-worth and champions women's decision making, rooted in empowerment and financialindependence. Lesley Logan: Um, mm-hmm.I'm gonna jump in. Brad Crowell: Do it. Lesley Logan: So, um, I actually loved that she just talked about owning it. [00:12:00] She was like, you know, she was telling her story about how she was like, ashamed to say that she's a divorce twice. Like, and then she just happened to share on a podcast with a friend like that she was, and people are like, oh my God, thank you so much.And she realized that like what she was ashamed of was actually like the thing that helped connect her to most people. And so I really love that she, she is, was a proponent of like, just own the thing that scare, like, makes you worried that people are gonna be ashamed of you because it actually makes you vulnerable and makes people be able to trust you.And as we've talked about, like she's really like, The best person to help everybody decide if they are, should be getting divorced on, like, what their next steps should be because of her experience. Brad Crowell: Yeah. I was encouraged by her, you know, just the fact that she has seen both sides of the equation. And also, you know, like [00:13:00] being an attorney, you know, she's arguing on behalf of her clients, but she can also relate to her clients. I thought that was pretty cool. You know? When I went through my divorce, it was really interesting because I felt all the same things that she was talking about.Shame. She talked about shame. I felt so ashamed that I waseven considering the concept, you know, or that it was actually being like, forced on me cuz I didn't want to do it atfirst. I didn't wanna do it at all, in fact. And then when it, you know, after it happened, I really had to come to grips with that idea of, of like, you know, okay, I am a divorced person now.And that was a whole, it was like a new identity. I don't even know why I felt like it was that, but it was, you know? So the fact that she can relate tothe people going through it, it wasreally powerful.Well, and also like Lesley Logan: in our own life, there's been different people in our lives who are going through [00:14:00] that and they were so embarrassed and they were like kind of shutting down and like people weren't able to like really talk to them.And it's like, well, you can.you know, because you've been through that and like, I think it's just so important to not be ashamed of the journey that you have, whatever that was. Maybe you've never been, maybe you've never been married. like some people are ashamed that they get to a certain age and they've never been in a long term like, the thing. Yeah, sure. The shame is such a thing that keeps us from shining our light and like you have this amazing skillset, whoever you are, whatever that is, to actually change lives around you. And if you're letting that journey that you've been on, be something you're ashamed of, when really it's actually the superpower that makes you who you are and makes you able to connect with people.So I just love that she is owning this. And it is actually, it's actually what's, what's taking her with the book and with her event. It's really cool. Brad Crowell: Yeah, I think that, also, you know, one, one thing that, she you know, She said, justown it.It sounds very [00:15:00] glib to say that like from,if someone had just come to me and say, just own it, Brad, you're divorced or you're getting divorced, it would've been really hard for me to be like, okay, I'm in on that.Like, no problem. But let me tell you from my own personal experience, I began toheal when, and only when I quote unquote owned it. And for me it wasn't like this idea of like, I guess I'll just be this divorced person now. But what it was for me was I began to own it by no longer avoiding it in conversations with others. Right? Because it was so easy for me to just never bring it up. And so I'd meet people and they would never know that I'm like, for me, it felt like I was wearing this like monster on my back. Right? And, but I was great at hiding it, no? And so it, but it, but it didn't help me process. It didn't help me heal. It didn't help me, like, experience [00:16:00] engagementwith other people with this like, truth out there, right? Because like, I felt like, they don't, it's none of their business. They don't need to know, but it just kept eating at me, and it wasn't until I began to share with other people, oh yeah, I've actually been going through like a divorce right now that, that, that was the beginning of, of healing for me. Processing. So, yeah. ...(Lesley: I love that you said that.) Yeah. So, yeah, and actually, you know, she, her quote was exactly that and that's when I realized I need you to talk about this and not be ashamed about it.So. Yeah. Yeah. Well, one thing that I loved that she said was, find your tribe. And, again, I felt this, I found this to be particularly challenging, the idea of just meeting strangers on the internet to like be in a group of divorced men like that, felt like, uh, I don't know these fucking people, you know? And I was, I was not really okay [00:17:00] with that. So my, so I didn't actually go to an online community. But what I did end up really turning to were my close friends. And, you know, they weren't divorced, but they knew who I, they knew me, they knew me beforemy ex-wife, you know, for years before. And so having that support system was, I couldn't really go to my family. It was weird. I, you know, I didn't feel like that was okay to talk about it with my folks, you know, or my siblings, you know.But having the community around me like really helped me get through it. And that's what she's talkingabout here.So your tribe doesn't need to be like, it could be an onlinecommunity of people who like, don't know you or you don't know them. And that you could find freedom in that, cuz there were some times where I felt likeIt was okay to quote unquote air my dirty laundry [00:18:00] with people who I never would meet again.I'd never see them again. It didn't fucking matter ifthey judged me because I was like, yeah, your opinion means nothing to me.And then alternatively finding your tribe with people who do care about you. you know? You could be doing that too. Lesley Logan: Well also, like you had friends from before you were married. I was not divorced, but after I left my ex five years, I didn't have any. because all of, I moved to LA and then we started dating shortly thereafter. And so all of my friends were his friends. So when I left, it waslike, poof, gone. And I have to tell you guys, there's this one story that is likejust, oh my gosh, I wish I could have a video of it so you could just see what was like. But I was in line for this movie through the cemetery and I'm in this line. I'm like waiting. I'm by myself cuz my one friend that I made, the one friend that I made was looking for parking. And so I'm by myself and this line and the way the line goes is it snakes back and forth.And so I'm walking and I can see. Part of the line walkingtowards me cuzthey're about to turn in the corner. And my brain [00:19:00] saw a friend, somebody who I was friends with because of my ex and my brain didn't go. Danger warning, run away. And so I was like, hi. Right. Like, oh my God. And they're like, oh my God.And then behind them was my ex. And they're like, oh my God. And then behind him was this girl he was in and she was like, oh my God, at everybody. And then all I hear was, We're gonna have topassher over and over again.Brad Crowell: Oh, right. Cause The line snakes back and forth. Lesley Logan: Snakes back and forth. And I was just like, oh my God. And I'm likes, I'm like, I'm like, I don't care if you have to double park, youpark your car, you need to get your, I'll pay the ticket. I don don't care. We had to pass each other 11 times. Oh. At any rate, I only had thisone friend at the time, but she was also making friends. And so when it says find your tribe, like that can be hard work.And it was effort. And yes, that was a really terrible moment in my life, 11 times. Oh my God. But, [00:20:00] but I did find friendsand those friends led me to more friends. And those led to more friends. And then it put me to finding myself more. And now, while I don't have a lot of those same friends, because we've moved and everyone's life has changed. And welcome to LA it's a very transient town. It did help me find myself, to get me to a place where I could like go on to other things. Brad Crowell: Yeah. Yeah. Renee talked about joining a yoga group. Right? And how that became, like a lifeline tostaying in community with people. And you know, she, she actually said, you know, you're either gonna, she told herself, you're either gonna sit here all day and feel bad for yourself, or you're gonna put on some leggings and you're gonna go to yoga and you'll probably feel better at the end.And I couldn't agree with her more. I mean, it was really easy to stay home, drink a bottle of wine, watch a movie, and, and feel, you know, like shit. And it wasn't until I began to [00:21:00] intentionally go out again, and that allowed those conversations with others to happen, that processing to happen. So, yeah, well, so honestly, I mean, that was, that was quite a trip down memory lane. I'm not gonna lie, I feel like I've heard this story about you bumping into your ex, but I didn't realize. Uh, it was clearly at the movies at It was a business. yeah, yeah, yeah. Clearly, And you wanna, that's the only line that I could think of where you were like, oh.I can I, can I tell you guys the best part? This is, okay, lemme just tell you the best part. I know we're running up on time, but lemme tell you this.So you take pictures atthe moviesand it wasthe slumber party night. It was the night where there was three movies in a row. And so we had my friends and I, once I got there, we like, got our picture taken.And in between the movie, the first movie and the second movie, they were showing the picture that had been taken up on the mausoleum. you guys, it's like the biggest block of wall. And when my picture came up with me and my two friends, it [00:22:00] stayed up. For minutes. And I laughed so hard. I looked at my friends, I'm like, I'm good.I'm outta here. Like I they are having to sit here and like, look and look. And I had this big cloak hoodon.It was all scary movies. And so I just looked like, I was like looking down upon the people. Brilliant. And so get this the next, the Monday after I get an email. Nicepicture. Anyway, we should get Lesley Logan: into these Be It action items real quick. Brad Crowell: Yeah. All right. So let's finally, let's get into these, Be It action items. What bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your convo with Renee Bauer? The biggest thing she talked about was knowing your money. Which is like a hundred percent what we talk about with business.So it's so funny. But personally that's very liberating, you know? And what's so crazy is like it was like the reverse of the conversation. She said most women come to [00:23:00] her and they're like, he took care of all the bills.I actually have no idea about any of it. And that's how my ex and I was, I didn'tactually manage any of it. Sowhen we split, I was like, how much are we in debt? What? I had no idea. Right? I didn't know anything and it was like really crazy. And, and I totally agree that if I had, you know,felt, if I had paid attention, You know, like I think, I don't think it would've been an issue for me to pay attention during the relationship of like, Hey, yeah, I just wanna, like, understand things.Then it would've been a lot more freeing. But I never paid attention at all. Yeah. yeah. Lesley Logan: Yeah. I really like that card of the, of the interview and I highly recommend listening to that part if you haven't, cuz it's really great. No matter if you're in a happy marriage or not. Like it's just so everyone, everyone should just be aware of what's going on, cuz then you know what your options are all the time. Brad Crowell: Yeah, and I'm, I'm glad you shared about how we operate today because, [00:24:00] you know, it'sstarkly different than how I used to do it. Today you and I actually have a monthly meeting for the company. But that incorporates, you know, pretty much our personal life too. And that allows us both to be understanding where we are and, and all the things.So, yeah. Lesley Logan: And this takes us into one of the Be It action I love, which is like, treat yourself like you are the CFO of your own life. And I think that like, goes along with what you were saying about your last marriage. It's like, I think it's really easy if you don't like money or if money was like a bad thing that you're raised to just like, ignore the money and I don't want it cuz it's a problem and I don't want whatever.But the actual reality is,is like no matter if you're in a marriage, not in a marriage and a great one. The more we are aware of the finances in our life, the more options we have. And you know, you can, this could be the thing you Be It Till You See It at this season. It's like, I'm gonna be a CFO of my life.What does a CFO do? Well, they know the numbers. Okay, what are my numbers? All right, what do I, what are my goals for my numbers to be what do I, want this money to be doing? And like, even if that'sjustthat you have a donationgoal that you wanna make, like that would [00:25:00] be a really great thing for y'all to do.So this was a fun interview. I really love Renee. It was just so great. And y'all should get her book. Brad Crowell: Yeah, I think so too. And it's upcoming right now, soI don't actually remember whatthe title of it was. She Who Lesley Logan: Wins? Brad Crowell: Oh, the book is called She Who Wins?. ..(Lesley: Mm-hmm. And her podcast is too great. so there you go.)Yeah. So we will, we will put the link for that in the show notes. And thanks so much for joining us. Lesley Logan: Yeah. I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell: And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan: We are so grateful for you. This is so much fun. Oh my gosh, we're almost about hit two years with this podcast. I feel like we're like a day or two away, so we'll probably have to do that in FYF. But thank you for being you and we wanna know how you use these tips in your life tag the Be IT Pod, tag Renee Bauer,and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell: Bye for now.That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Fitness and women's health expert Amanda Thebe offers no BS ideas to feel fitter, stronger, faster, and saner in 2023. This is not a “New Year, New You” show from the land of diet culture and commodified wellness. Beauties, you are already more than enough. But as longevity increases, (re)commiting to fitness practices and healthy lifestyle choices keeps the trains on the tracks and fuels better health—for the long haul. Ready to amp up your 2023 fitness? We talk at-home workouts versus the gym, kettlebells, mobility work and functional fitness, how often to exercise (and for how long), and why time-crunched midlifers can embrace a “fitness snack” approach.

It's 2023 and New Year, New You, they say! But is there actually anything wrong with the old you? Probably not, but we're often very self-critical! Rather than making a whole lot of radical resolutions that won't last more than a week or two, in this episode I'm focusing on small, consistent changes that can reap big benefits as you transition through the menopause. And I've found just the woman to help us with this, because I'm chatting to the brilliant Amanda Thebe who's just the most practical, pragmatic and relatable menopause champion and she's made a material difference to thousands of women through her work. Amanda is a Women's Health and Fitness Expert with nearly thirty years of experience in the fitness industry and the author of the best-selling book, Menopocalypse: How I Learned to Thrive During Menopause and How You Can Too, which is her story of how she was trapped in the perimenopause rabbit hole and how she got out of it. She's a bundle of energy, positivity and wisdom, so tune in to hear what she's got to say!We discuss the many different ways that you can take a proactive approach to managing your menopause and Amanda shares her five keystones of optimal health in midlife. She also busts some of the popular menopause myths out there around diet and lifestyle, shares her thoughts on supplements and speaks frankly about her views on some of the misleading (and expensive!) advice that is out there without the relevant evidence to back it up.  Just chatting to Amanda has made me feel more energised and positive – imagine how it would feel to work with her! If you've enjoyed the podcast, please give it 5 star rating and a short review on Apple podcasts, or whichever platform you listen on, I'd be so grateful. And do tell your friends and family about it too. It really does make a huge difference to the visibility of the podcast, so that more women can find the show.
