When your partner's body changes — whether from weight gain, shifting eating habits, or perimenopause — it can bring up some of the trickiest conversations in long-term relationships. In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey share a vulnerable look at how they navigate these sensitive moments with honesty, compassion, and growth.Trey tells the story of skipping Lauren's favorite Hazy IPAs on a Sam's Club run after a recent conversation about her body changes. Was this a supportive choice, or a potential “land mine”? Together, they unpack how unrequested service can backfire, drawing from Dr. Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent and Alison Armstrong's Celebrating Partnership.Lauren shares her desire to resist cultural obsession with “skinny” while entering her 40s with self-love, compassion, and education — not self-judgment. Trey reflects on breaking old patterns and celebrating small outward shifts that actually mean big relational change. They also dive into Lauren's latest work on the roles of Liars & Lie Invitees in partnership, showing how truth-telling and conscious communication can transform long-term dynamics.This episode is both tender and practical, offering couples real insight into what not to do — and better ways to support each other through body changes, health goals, and the realities of aging together.Want more tools for navigating tricky conversations in partnership?

"I weighed more as a professional runner than I did in college, and I ran faster as a professional runner," shares sports dietitian Maddie Alm MS RDN.  You might know Maddie Alm from her Instagram account and podcat, Fueling Forward. She started her journey to becoming a registered dietitian after meeting with a sports RDN in college, as a collegiate athlete. In college, she was feeling exhausted between workouts and training sessions, but as she shares on this episode, "didn't even realize that fueling was important." That all changed with a pretty simple suggestion from the dietitian: Fuelg between workouts! In this case, with chocolate milk.  We don't hate it!  Alm shares her story as a walk-on collegiate runner at CU Boulder to becoming an All-American in her 5th year of eligibility. As she completed her additional dietetics coursework and then internship, she started training with Team Boss and began racing professionally. Now she works in private pracitce helping fellow runners fuel adequately and avoid REDs, while pursuing her own training goals on the other side of elite racing.

What happens when your body changes the rules halfway through your biggest athletic goal? Lucy Hurn found out when perimenopause hit during her 8-year quest to qualify for Kona. In this raw and practical episode, Lucy shares her journey from struggling with fatigue, irregular recovery, and changing physiology to finally earning her spot at the Ironman World Championships. This isn't just about getting faster — it's about adapting, listening to your body, and redefining what success looks like.   Key insights from this conversation: • Listen to your body becomes non-negotiable — especially when hormones make recovery unpredictable • Fuelling enough is harder than you think — why most female athletes under-eat and how it sabotages performance • Your thoughts aren't facts — learning to reframe negativity can transform your training and racing • The guilt factor — why women struggle more with training time and how to navigate family responsibilities   Practical takeaways for training through perimenopause: • Build flexibility into training plans — some days you adapt, some days you skip entirely • Prioritise protein at every meal (minimum 1g per kg bodyweight, building up from there) • Focus on what you can control: sleep hygiene, nutrition quality, stress management • Track your symptoms to understand patterns and communicate effectively with healthcare providers   Resources & Links: • Book recommendation: A Life Without Limits by Chrissie Wellington — Lucy's inspiration for her Kona goal • Research mentioned: Work by Dr. Natalie Brown on training around menstrual cycles and menopause - • Training philosophy: "You don't get fitter from training — you get fitter from recovery from training"   Connect with Lucy Hurn: Lucy is the owner of Feel Fit with Lucy and helps women achieve big race goals while building both fitness and confidence. Her coaching covers training, nutrition, mindset, race planning, and stress management.

Send me a text!Honoring menopause as a life stage, not just a phase to get through acknowledges the weight of this transition. We live in a society that hasn't given much room to understanding women's bodies. While there is more information now than before, there are still large gaps in support for the physical, mental, and emotional experience of menopause. Too often, women don't even begin to ask for information until we are already experiencing the challenges of shifting hormones. We turn to managing symptoms instead of caring for this pivotal transition.   In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Marelda Rodrigues to join me in a conversation about honoring menopause as a life stage and yourself as deserving of care. Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:Experiencing grief in physical transitionsSocietal norms, gaps in information, and becoming an advocate for yourselfHealth and self-care look different in different phases of lifeSlowing down and making room to learn your new body LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:NPR – Doctors Urge FDA to Remove Warning On Hormone Therapy for MenopauseLast Week Tonight – Make America Healthy AgainCollaborative Leadership from Boardroom to Patient-Centered Caregiving episode CONNECT WITH MARELDAWebsiteInstagram – Decide to HealInstagram – Sovereign Becoming Menopause Guide CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Ask Valerie (anonymous form)Sign up for Valerie's newsletterApply to be coached on the podcastSchedule an exploration callListen to the Unlimited Playlist This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters Collective Support the show

I sat down with plastic surgeon Dr. Dahlia Rice to uncover why the beauty industry's biggest lies are keeping you from aging on your own terms.This conversation explored the evolution of plastic surgery from dramatic transformations to natural, undetectable enhancements. The discussion covered how celebrity influence, particularly Kris Jenner's recent facelift, has normalized conversations about aesthetic procedures while highlighting the shift toward subtlety over obvious results.A major focus was the reality of dermal fillers contrary to marketing claims about 12-16 month dissolution, many patients retain fillers for years due to individual metabolism differences. This has led to overfilled appearances and the need for ultrasound guided dissolution techniques.The conversation highlighted practical anti-aging strategies, particularly upper eyelid surgery as a high impact, low downtime procedure that can dramatically improve appearance without looking artificial. Fat transfer emerged as a game changing technique that provides natural volume while improving skin quality through growth factors.The discussion addressed modern challenges like "Ozempic face" from rapid weight loss and the limitations of non-surgical skin tightening. We also discussed the importance of rejecting societal pressure around aging and aesthetic choices, framing these decisions as personal autonomy rather than vanity.Throughout, the conversation challenged stigmas in both plastic surgery and women's health, advocating for patients to address what bothers them rather than suffering in silence. The overarching message was about empowering women to make choices that improve their quality of life without shame or judgment.Highlights:Celebrity influence on plastic surgery trends (Kris Jenner's facelift analysis).The shift from "overfilled" to natural aesthetics in modern plastic surgery.Breast reconstruction for cancer survivors and body image.Filler dissolution and the truth about how long they really last.AI filters vs. realistic surgical expectations.Ozempic face/body and massive weight loss surgery.Small procedures with big impact (upper eyelids, lip lifts).If this episode gave you new perspective on aging and body autonomy, help other women find this conversation by subscribing to the channel and leaving a review on Apple Podcasts.

For many expecting moms, weeks 13 to 27 are often considered the most enjoyable part of pregnancy. In this episode, learn everything you need to know to navigate the second trimester confidently.

It's hard to recognize this new version of you especially when you're stuck somewhere between being "fat" and not quite at your goal weight yet.  When your body goes through changes from weight loss but your brain hasn't caught up we call that "ghost fat."

This is the juicy stuff that diet culture or the "before and after" infomercials don't teach you. Irresistible Links
