In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I sit down with Gabriella Martinelli, a seasoned Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and founder of Ever After Wealth®, to explore the critical steps business owners must take to value and protect their businesses before a divorce. With over two decades of experience helping entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of divorce, Gabriella brings deep expertise in avoiding financial pitfalls, cleaning up financial records, and ensuring accurate business valuations. If you are divorcing with a business on the line, the stakes are incredibly high, and one misstep can cost you far more than money. We discuss how businesses are appraised during divorce, the emotional and financial challenges that arise during asset division, and the importance of clarifying valuation long before lawyers and courts are involved. Gabriella also explains why separating personal and business finances and maintaining accurate documentation is essential for protecting both your enterprise and your personal net worth. Together, we highlight the key tax and ownership considerations that can arise when selling, splitting, or retaining a business and share practical strategies to help you safeguard what you've built. Whether you are just beginning to consider divorce or are already mid-process, this conversation will provide clarity, direction, and the financial wisdom you need to protect your future.

https://truenergyskincare.com/ About Cathy Goldstein: Cathy Goldstein an Acupuncture Physician who has been practicing integrative medicine combining the best of energy medicine, with the latest scientific discoveries to treat her patients since 1988. Cathy specializes in energy medicine, the centuries-old science of using energy to heal the body, restore vitality, and restore cellular longevity. Her commitment to health care stems from her personal experiences. She was on a path to medical school when she had to be hospitalized for several months with multiple surgeries to save her life due to an autoimmune disease. During this long-term illness, Cathy turned to the ancient art of Chinese Medicine. After she received Acupuncture treatments, her health started turning around. At this point, Cathy realized that medical school was not her path. She knew that addressing the underlying health issues and treating the person as a whole was the sure way to health. She turned her focus to her career as an acupuncture physician specializing in body-mind advanced therapies and frequency healing through bio-photon energy fields, which she has coined the BioPhoton Energy Highway. She has been a leading physician in bringing cutting-edge techniques to acupuncture, chiropractic, and the traditional medical field. Dr. Cathy has been training physicians in Mind-Body connection to healing and the advancements in vibrational energy medicine for over 35 years.  Cathy has a special interest in functional nutrition and functional skincare. She believes your skin is a direct reflection of your health. Cathy is going to share tools and techniques for cellular rejuvenation. She will share her insight into the Energy Highway and how to connect and bring health and vitality to the entire body through frequencies.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Why energy medicine, not more serums, is the next evolution in beauty.  Is the beauty industry lying to us about what really causes aging? Why freezing your face or filling your skin may be accelerating aging—and what science actually says works at the cellular level. Learn how freezing your face may be accelerating aging, dulling emotional expression, and disrupting brain health. How can women take back control of how they age —without numbing, injecting, or cutting? What's the downside to freezing your face with Botox—emotionally and biologically? Emotions and trauma don't just affect your mood—they imprint on your facial muscles. Discover how reactivating natural expression can reverse visible aging and restore emotional vitality. True radiance isn't about erasing lines—it's about restoring energy, expression, and self-connection. Cathy shares how women can age with power, not pressure. How does stress, trauma, and tension actually show up on our faces? Why are we targeting wrinkles when we should be addressing energy and muscle memory?    Connect With Cathy Goldstein:  Website: https://truenergyskincare.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/truenergyskincare/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenergyskincare/   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

Hello, hello and welcome back to The Easy Feed. Today I'm diving into a topic that so many parents ask me about—protein. How much do our children really need? Where should it come from? And are protein powders ever necessary? As a paediatric dietitian and mum, I know first-hand how challenging it can be to keep lunchboxes nutritious, especially when dealing with a fussy eater or a child following a vegetarian diet. While most kids easily meet their protein requirements, the real issue is often the quality of that protein. In this episode, I unpack the difference between dairy-based proteins and those rich in fibre, iron and zinc, and why focusing on variety is key to supporting your child's long-term health. We'll also explore whether protein powders have a place in children's diets, what to look for if you choose one, and why whole, real foods should always come first. ⭐ Highlights of the Episode Protein needs made simple – How much protein children actually require each day and why most already meet these needs. Quality matters – The difference between dairy protein and plant-based proteins rich in fibre, iron and zinc. Gut health connection – Why fibre-rich protein foods support digestion, immunity, mood and learning. Protein powders in kids – When (and if) they're useful, and how to choose a safe option. Practical swaps and ideas – Easy, real food ways to boost protein for even the fussiest eaters. Supporting a picky eater or fussy eater can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to balance a healthy diet for fussy eaters with the reality of busy school days. As a children's nutritionist and paediatric dietitian, I know that parents often worry about protein. In this episode, I explain how to get enough nutritious foods into your child's diet without relying on supplements, and when quick, easy food swaps can make a big difference to their nutrition. You'll also find inspiration for boosting fibre, iron and protein in a way that even fussy eaters will enjoy. If you've been wondering about children's nutrition and the role of protein powders, this episode will give you clarity and practical solutions.

Think again. In this fired-up episode of Tea & Truth, we're tackling the myths, half-truths, and downright misinformation that too many women are still hearing — even from their doctors.  Here's the thing: most medical training includes less than 4 hours on menopause. That means countless women are told their symptoms are “just aging,” “all in your head,” or dismissed entirely. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on what's really going on in your hormones, your body, and your mind during this powerful life stage. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why menopause is not a single moment at age 50 — and how perimenopause can start in your late 30s or early 40s. The truth about hormones: it's not just estrogen — progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and insulin play big roles too. Why “normal” labs don't always mean optimal health — and the tests you should be asking for. How to support your energy, mood, and body naturally so you don't just “deal with it,” you thrive.  Bonus myths busted: from hormone therapy fears to the damaging lie that menopause makes you less feminine or attractive.  Actionable Tips You Can Start Today: Track your cycle, symptoms, and energy to spot patterns early. Balance your blood sugar for steadier mood, weight, and energy.  Advocate for a full thyroid panel and optimal lab ranges.  Prioritize lifestyle foundations: sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management.  Reframe your mindset — menopause is not an ending, it's a transformation.   Final takeaway? You are not broken. You are becoming. Midlife isn't when your light fades — it's when you shine brighter, more authentically, and more powerfully than ever.   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

She is dedicated to fostering personal growth, resilience, and authentic living at every age. Corinne's passion lies in reshaping how we perceive older adulthood, a vision she beautifully encapsulates in her groundbreaking book, "Keenagers." Corinne is on a mission to change the conversation around aging. In a culture where many avoid thinking about older adulthood until the last minute, she urges us to embrace aging in a positive light. Her story is not just about her successes; it's a call for all of us to care about aging, dispelling myths and embracing the beauty and potential of every stage of life.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Corrine discussed the complexities of aging and the societal perceptions surrounding it. She emphasized the importance of a positive outlook on aging, arguing that it can empower families to plan effectively for their older loved ones, contrasting this with the panic often induced by negative cultural messages. We also addressed the challenges faced by caregivers, many of whom are older adults themselves. Corinne discussed the importance of self-care for caregivers and the need for expert guidance in navigating senior health care complexities. She provided insights on when families should consider transitioning elderly parents to senior living communities, advising preliminary research to ease the decision-making process during health crises. Corinne addressed the modern perspective on retirement, noting that individuals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are rethinking what it means to retire. Corinne pointed out that there are no longer mandatory retirement ages, allowing people to continue working while collecting social security. Many choose to transition from their first careers to new ventures, such as consulting or starting businesses. We discussed the appropriate time for families to seek senior living communities for elderly parents. Corinne Auman detailed the spectrum of senior living options, from independent living to skilled nursing, highlighting the differences in care and support provided. She stressed the importance of researching these options in advance to alleviate stress during potential health crises. Corinne highlighted the unique stressors faced by adult caregivers and recommended seeking specialized therapy services. She detailed the differences between home care, which involves assistance with daily tasks, and home health, which includes medical therapies ordered by a doctor. Auman also noted that costs for these services can vary significantly by location and often require private payment.   Resource from Corrine Auman: Link to Corinne's book "Keenagers" - https://amzn.to/3Y6bmqP   Connect With Corrine Auman: Website: https://www.CorinneAuman.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558512157337   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keenagersbook/   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinneauman/     Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, and hormone chaos? Wondering why no matter how “healthy” you eat, your energy stays low or your weight won't budge? You're not alone—and it may not be your fault. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aly Cohen, a board-certified rheumatologist and environmental health expert, to talk about something that affects every single one of us but rarely gets discussed: the toxic chemical overload hiding in our everyday lives. We unpack how environmental chemicals are silently disrupting your hormone balance, gut health, and immune system—especially during perimenopause and menopause, when your body is already more sensitive to stress, inflammation, and hormonal shifts. You'll hear how toxins are linked to weight loss resistance, IBS, exhaustion, thyroid dysfunction, and even autoimmune flares. Dr. Cohen shares her signature “4 A's” method to detox your life—without obsessing or aiming for perfection. From common kitchen swaps to what's lurking in your self-care routine (yep, even your garbage bags), we get into the everyday habits that silently sabotage your metabolism and energy—and how to reclaim your vitality, one simple change at a time. Key Points (Listen for the 'how' in the full episode): • The everyday products disrupting your hormone balance and gut health—especially during perimenopause • How immune-disrupting chemicals could be triggering inflammation, fatigue, and autoimmune flares • A subtle hormone shift that might explain your energy crashes—and how to fix it without relying on coffee • The surprising link between toxins and brain fog, and the four simple steps Dr. Cohen recommends to detox smarter (not harder) If you're doing “all the right things” for your health but still dealing with bloating, mood swings, constipation, or low energy, it's time to look deeper. Toxins are the hidden variable no one talks about—but they're quietly impacting your metabolism, hormone balance, and gut health. This episode helps you understand the “why” behind your symptoms and gives you a practical place to start. Ready to clear the confusion and reclaim your health? Tune in and learn how to assess, avoid, and gently detox without the overwhelm. Because true hormone balance, digestion, and energy start with removing what's blocking your body from healing.  How to Connect with Dr. Meg:   Free Guide: 6 Essential Steps for an Effective Detox  MegaVitality Supplement Store: www.megavitalityshop.com.

NourishDoc has designed evidence-based holistic wellness programs for self-care and prevention on 20+ topics and 20+ holistic therapies. What We Discuss In This Episode:  Welcome back to the show, ladies! Today, we're diving into something that affects millions of us, yet still doesn't get talked about nearly enough—perimenopause and menopause. If you've been dealing with brain fog, mood swings, sleep struggles, hot flashes, or just not feeling like yourself lately, you are so not alone—and you are absolutely in the right place. In this episode, we're talking about natural relief—specifically, holistic therapies that support your body, mind, and spirit through this incredible (and sometimes bumpy!) midlife transition. We're going to walk you through the most effective natural approaches—from nutrition to movement, mindfulness, energy balancing, and beyond. These are the very tools I use and recommend in my coaching practice to help women move from overwhelmed to empowered. Because here's the truth: You don't have to suffer in silence. You can feel vibrant, balanced, and in control again. And it all starts with understanding your options—and choosing a path that supports the whole you. So grab a cozy drink, pop in your earbuds, and let's get into it. This is your time to feel seen, supported, and strong. Let's begin. Key Takeaways Perimenopause often starts earlier (mid-30s to 40s) and is widely misunderstood, even by medical professionals Holistic approaches (meditation, yoga, supplements) show promise for managing symptoms, though more research is needed Post-menopausal women face increased risks of chronic conditions, emphasizing the importance of proactive health management NourishDoc aims to provide affordable, expert-guided wellness programs for women experiencing hormonal transitions.   Connect With Amita Sharma: Website: https://nourishdoc.com Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/Nourishdoc/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nourish_doc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nourishdoc/   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.
