In today's heartfelt and empowering episode of Tea & Truth, we dive into one of the deepest — and most confusing — questions women face during perimenopause and menopause: Who am I now? Midlife often brings a surprising emotional and spiritual awakening. Many women suddenly feel different inside… questioning their identity, their purpose, their desires, and the life they've built. If you've felt "off," restless, or disconnected from the woman you once were, you're not alone — and nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, we explore the real reasons midlife triggers such profound inner change, including:

AI is here, but so are human emotions. Tammy J. Bond highlights that implementing AI is not just a technical deployment; it's a massive disruption to your team's identity, sense of security, and self-worth. The core challenge for 2026 is leading the emotional side of automation, as your team is both hopeful and terrified. This episode exposes how leaders are currently dropping the ball with silence and lack of guidance, offering a playbook to intentionally build trust and human sustainability around AI usage. The Human Cost of AI Silence Leaders are often failing to implement AI well because they ignore its impact on three fundamental human needs: Certainty: Workers fear for their job security (up to 52% are worried about AI's impact). Competency: The automated work challenges their sense of self-worth and ability to perform their role effectively. Control: People feel a loss of autonomy when a new, vaguely understood tool takes over parts of their process. Ignoring these fears creates camouflaged conflict in the workplace, manifesting as passive resistance, quiet quitting, and overcompensating perfectionism (driven by fear of obsolescence). The Problem of Silence: With 40% of workplaces lacking AI usage guidelines, employees read a leader's silence as, "My leader doesn't know what they're doing," eroding trust and increasing anxiety. The Leader's Playbook: Transforming Culture Your opportunity is to stop letting fear write the rest of your organizational story and actively transform your culture around AI. 3 Essential Steps for AI Implementation: Name the Change: Clarify what AI is and what it is not here to do, not just for the company, but for each position at the granular level. Clarify Expectations: Define what is acceptable and unacceptable to use AI for. Set clear performance measures and expectations for the outcome if misuse occurs. Invest in Skill Building: Provide training not just on the tool, but on the skill of prompt verification and critical assessment of AI output. You must articulate to your team: AI is here to augment you, to enhance you, not to erase you. Reinforce the need for human judgment for the final output. The human is still responsible for the answer, even if the tool provided the initial data. Bold Questions & Actions for This Week Tammy's challenge is to push pause and get the team involved in co-creating the AI strategy: Ask the Fear Question: Sit down with your team and ask: "What about AI really scares you the most right now?" Identify 'Dumb Work': Ask: "Where do you see that AI could remove some of the repetitive work we do so that you can do more of what you're brilliant at?" Co-Design an Experiment: Pick one process this month and work with your team to co-design a small AI experiment to increase familiarity and comfort. The Bottom Line: If your people cannot say out loud what they are afraid of, AI will quietly run your culture from the shadows. Lead the human side of automation.

What if menopause isn't just something you "get through"… but a powerful wake-up call to protect your long-term health, energy, and vitality? In this episode, Lynne is joined by Dr. Sofia Din, a New York–based, board-certified family physician with over 25 years of experience and specialized training in geriatrics, anti-aging, and aesthetic medicine. Trained in both Pakistan and the United States, Dr. Din blends Eastern and Western approaches to help women extend not just their lifespan, but their health span—the years they actually feel well, strong, and fully alive. Together, Lynne and Dr. Din unpack what's really going on in menopause—from shifting metabolism, stubborn weight gain, and skin changes to immune dysregulation, brain fog, and emotional ups and downs. You'll hear why our current healthcare model is built around sickness management instead of true health management, and how that leaves so many midlife women feeling dismissed, unseen, and unsupported.

In this episode, we talk about: Why menopause is a full-body event—not "just hormones" The difference between sickness management and proactive health management How menopause affects metabolism, fat storage, and cholesterol Why some supplements don't work as promised (and what to know about absorption) Early, smart skin care steps to prevent "chronic skin failure" The role of sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress relief in protecting your health span Non-surgical, medical-grade options for skin and body confidence in midlife How to talk to your doctor so your symptoms are taken seriously About Dr. Sofia Din Sofia Din, MD believes that aging gracefully and aging helplessly are not the same thing—and that women deserve tools, education, and agency over how they move through midlife and beyond. She is the author of Do We Really Need Botox?, where she shares a holistic, science-backed framework for extending both health span and "beauty span" without excessive surgery. Featured in major media, TV, and TEDx, Dr. Din is known for her practical, empowering, and deeply human approach to women's health.

https://teachhoops.com/ The first step to leadership is to establish and communicate a clear vision. This is the "why" and "where" that gives all work its purpose. A manager tells people what to do; a leader inspires them by painting a compelling picture of where they are going and why it matters. This step requires defining reality, setting clear expectations, and creating a shared sense of mission. When people believe in the destination, they are more willing to navigate the hard work and obstacles required to get there, looking to you not for instructions, but for direction. The second step is to transform that vision into decisive action. This is the bridge from an idea to a result. Effective leaders are architects of execution—they don't just talk about the goal, they build the plan to reach it. This involves "challenging the process" by questioning the status quo, making tough decisions, and holding both themselves and their team accountable for results. This action-oriented step is what builds credibility and momentum, proving that the vision is not just a dream but a tangible, achievable objective. The final and most crucial step is to invest in and empower your people. A vision is only achieved, and action is only sustained, through a team that feels valued, trusted, and connected. This step moves beyond management and into coaching. It means putting your people first, actively listening to their ideas, providing the resources they need to succeed, and creating opportunities for them to develop their own skills. By focusing on their growth, you build a resilient culture of trust and autonomy, which is the ultimate engine for sustainable success. Learn more about your ad choices.
