She did it. At 10:06 a.m. on May 24th, two-time guest Jeannette McGill stood on top of the world. Jeannette, 52, summited Mount Everest after three years of navigating hot flashes, heavy, erratic periods, joint pain, stubborn injuries, brain fog, and maybe most difficult of all for a high altitude mountaineer–newfound fear that made tasks that once came easily feel overwhelming. Along the way, including two abandoned summit attempts, Jeannette learned that through the power and support of community and with patience, persistence, and practice you can get through even the darkest of tunnels to reach your goals. She shares her journey and the wisdom learned along the way this week.Jeannette McGill is the first South African woman to summit Manaslu and the first-ever South African to climb Dhaulagiri - two of the 14 8,000-meter (26,000 feet) mountains in the world. She is passionate about supporting others to achieve their outdoor goals through her mountain mentoring and leads bespoke adventures in the Australian Alps and Nepal. Her portfolio career also includes industrial technology management, and she has a PhD from the Colorado School of Mines.

What is Adam Carter in for this weekend when he moves his oldest daughter into college? Sheletta Brundidge offers her advice and wisdom from experience on that as she joins for a Feisty Friday before Adam dips his toe into discussing a story regarding menopause and women going through that stage going through divorce.
How many times have we heard that weight loss and maintenance is simply “calories in, calories out?” Well, the equation may be rooted in thermodynamics, but the reality is biology, history, hormones, and a whole lot more. This week, endocrinologist and Harvard obesity researcher Dr. Jody Dushay breaks down why this concept is far more complex than the numbers on a food label or how many calories our devices tell us we've burned. From how your body actually absorbs calories to how (or not) it expends them, we explore how and why weight gain and loss anything but straightforward—especially during menopause, when shifting body composition, gut microbiome changes, altered insulin responses, and evolving hormone levels, create a whole new metabolic landscape. As you'll see, your body isn't a calculator—it's a dynamic, adapting system. We also revisit GLP-1 drugs, which are increasingly popular with midlife women, and where they fit in this whole equation (so to speak). Jody Dushay, MD, MMSc, is an endocrinologist at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. She is also the founder and director of Well Powered, a comprehensive wellness and weight management program. Dr Dushay has studied the effect of pharmacotherapies and dietary interventions on body weight for years, including a large single-site study examining the effects of a glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist on body weight in obese women without diabetes. As a triathlete, she has qualified for Kona 3 times and came in 2nd in her age group at the 2020 Ironman World Championship in St George.

What's the best word to describe a hard-working freelance copywriter? How about feisty? On the 460th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast, content strategist and author, Suzanne Bowness, shares the concepts from her new book appropriately called, The Feisty Freelancer. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript. Stuff to check out: The Feisty Freelancer Website The Feisty Freelancer Book The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground Full Transcript: Rob Marsh: What's the best adjective to describe a hardworking, client-pleasing, financially successful copywriter? How about feisty? This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. When it comes to freelancing, this is no one right way to do things. There are thousands of niches to serve. Millions of clients with millions of needs. There are hundreds of ways to find those clients and thousands more ways to solve their problems. But every writer who owns their own business has lots of things in common with others doing the same thing. And if you try to describe them… especially those freelancers who are actually finding clients, doing good work, and earning enough to make a living, well one word that comes to mind is feisty. The feisty freelancer brings energy to their work. They're not afraid to stand up for themselves or the clients they're writing for. And they even might be a little playful. The Feisty Freelancer is also the name of a new book written by content writer and former Think Tank member, Suzanne Bowness. Sue's book is a primer for freelancers of all kinds—not just writers—who want to do more than struggle for scraps. The feisty freelancer has what it takes to succeed. This is Sue's second appearance on the podcast. The first one happened almost three years ago. It's episode #319 if you want to check it out. Given Sue's expertise as a freelancer, it's probably not a coincidence that some of the ideas we talked about then made it into the book. But it's been a while since we had that discussion, so I took the opportunity to ask Sue about the topics she covers in her book. Things like pitching, working with corporate clients, marketing a writing business, strategies for being productive and getting things done. We even talked about whether freelancing is something people should be considering at all today. I think you'll like what she had to share. Before we get to my interview with Sue, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. The Underground includes monthly coaching and expert workshops, an accountability group to keep you moving toward your goals, and more than 70 different workshops to help you gain the skills and strategies you need to build your business. Recently I asked a new member why she joined the Underground and she said she did it for the copy reviews. She wanted feedback on her work to help her improve her writing. And where many writing coaches charge as much as $1500 to look at a single sales page, you can get unlimited reviews in The Underground for less than $90 a month. Honestly this just might be the best value in the copywriting world. You can learn more by visiting thecopywriterclub.com/tcu-2. And now, my interview with Sue Bowness… Transcript is underway...

For the longest time, endurance athletes avoided the weight room, afraid unwanted muscles would weigh them down, while strength athletes all but kicked cardio to the curb. Now we know that no matter if you're running an ultra or competing in a CrossFit competition, the right blend of cardio and strength is the secret sauce for success–especially once you hit midlife and menopause. This week, renowned exercise physiologist Dr. Alyssa Olenick dives in on how our hormones impact our muscles, metabolism, and general physiology, and how the right blend of hybrid training can help you stay strong, fit, healthy, and injury free during and beyond the menopause transition.This episode originally dropped on January 8, 2025. Dr. Alyssa Olenick holds a PhD in exercise physiology and is a certified sports nutritionist and CrossFit Level 2 Trainer. Alyssa completed her doctoral training in exercise and human metabolism, sex differences, and menstrual cycle physiology. She also completed a postdoctoral research fellow investigating the areas of menopause and metabolism. As a coach she specializes in the areas of endurance, strength, and hybrid training. She runs her online business ‘Doc Lyss Fitness' and training programs ‘The Lyss Method'. She is also a strength athlete, ultra-marathon runner, and all-around fitness lover who is passionate about educating people on science-based fitness to get them into the gyms and on the roads/trails — or often, doing both at the same time!

In 2018 my newspaper died. Well, actually, the emaciated carcass of the Austin American Statesman still had a feeble pulse. But its journalistic voice and soul were gone, stripped out by the notorious financial predators of Gannett, the huge media conglomerate that had recently bought the paper.Happily, though, the Statesman has made a near-miraculous recovery, thanks to a small-but-feisty band of actual journalists who believe in local newspapers. They fought Gannett bosses tenaciously, gaining a voice by forming a union, striking, and finally compelling the giant to sign a union contract. Victory!Uh… not yet. Just months later, Gannett sold the newspaper to Hearst, another massive media conglomerate. This new relationship started well, but soon turned sour when Hearst honchos abruptly refused to honor the paper's contract with the union. Then they began firing employees and jacking around with the newsroom's healthcare and retirement benefits. Adding pettiness to greed, Hearst honchos even refused to let Statesman journalists take a holiday that corporate managers get. What the hell?Bear in mind that Hearst is a phenomenally profitable, $13-billion-a-year, multi-media behemoth. It's CEO, Steven Swartz, pockets millions of dollars a year and lives in luxury. Also, Austin is a booming media market worth gazillions to Hearst! No need to be so pathetically mingy!So, the hardy members of the Austin News Guild are back doing what working people have to do – organizing and mobilizing for a little more justice. “We're no strangers to the petty tactics of corporate elites,” they say, so the guild is relaunching its grassroots campaign to battle the b******s, fight for fairness, and protect local news.

On this week's show we are joined by runner-turned-cyclist Caroline Wreszin. The LA based athlete got started on the bike in highschool when an injury sidelined her from running, and she was hooked from the first ride. As a self described competitor, Caroline found her way into gravel racing, and despite her first race being icy cold, she hasn't looked back. Last year Caroline built up her own privateer program and focussed mainly on gravel racing. This year she has her eyes set on some big goals for LA 2028, and has shifted her focus onto the road. Caroline's main sponsor is Skratch Labs, and she shares what she has learned from working with the company as well as how they have helped her on the path to her goals.

This week, the feistiness is dialed up and for good reason. From childhood celebrities saying their final goodbyes and realizing I'm getting old to a doctor's office front staff that might need a permanent improvement plan, it's been one of those weeks. I also dive into my latest AI obsession and how it may have accidentally landed me on a list. Buckle up this episode's got sass, nostalgia, and a touch of digital paranoia.
Post-Gazette insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo recap practice at Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They detail spirited exchanges between CB Jalen Ramsey and WR Calvin Austin III; TE Jonnu Smith and S Juan Thornhill; and WR DK Metcalf and S Chuck Clark. Does it reflect a new competitive spirit among both receivers and defensive backs? Then they give an update on QB Aaron Rodgers. Have Metcalf and TE Pat Freiermuth emerged as his favorite targets? Why hasn't he been finding Roman Wilson much in the first week of practice, despite a nice play Thursday? Then they look ahead to the Friday Night Lights practice at Latrobe Stadium. Will we see offensive and defensive linemen clashing? Including Broderick Jones, Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu on the offensive side, and Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon on the defensive side? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the DBs bringing the juice to a feisty practice without pads. Juan Thornhill and Jalen Ramsey are known for their trash talk and Thursday was no exception. Thornhill and Jonnu Smith regularly went at it. Aaron Rodgers had a really strong day. Roman Wilson made the play of camp so far, and he will need to show much more of that going forward. How creative will Arthur Smith get, and do we need to adjust the roster math to account for it?

On this week's episode we have another interview from Kathryn's time in Girona this spring. Today she is chatting with the Girona-based, American cyclist Morgan Aguirre. Morgan started cycling in 2019 and quickly fell in love with the sport. She joined a team, and started racing on the road in the US. With a fully remote job, Morgan realized that she had a unique opportunity to relocate from Seattle to somewhere that would allow her to ride her bike outside all year long so she made the move to Girona in 2022 to immerse herself in the world of cycling in Europe. Not long after her arrival in Girona she was laid off from her job, but she seized the opportunity to focus more on her riding and started racing gravel. Morgan saw quick success in the gravel racing scene and garnered some support from brands to help make her season possible. At the end of last season she joined Pas Normal, and she talks about what it's like being part of that team. Living and training in Girona has also allowed Morgan to meet and ride with some other big names in the world of gravel, and she tells us about how she has formed friendships with other women in the sport that have helped to guide her along in her career so far, and why it is so important for women to support and lift each other up.

This week, Josh and Evan start things off on the WRONG foot as they fight to defend their differing opinions on $5 Tuesday at the movie theater. Evan is adamant that there's no better option, especially since you're getting free popcorn and seeing the same exact movie for a better price! On the other hand, Josh can't fathom going to a movie on a Tuesday and is content to pay top dollar for a weekend showing. Even if they can't agree on that, they can still have a good conversation about what they've been up to and what goals they might have for the rest of the summer/year ahead. As always, there are some Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in Hear-story tidbits too!

Honoring Tia. Chomping At The Bit. Good Sips. -The hosts open by heaping praise on GNGR Labs' shots, followed by a few laughs and questions about Mike's recent “pen vacation.” The conversation pivots to PepsiCo, earning both some head-scratching and applause for its newly announced prebiotic sub-line under the flagship Pepsi brand.

This week on the show we are throwing it back to April, when Kathryn had a chance to sit down with professional cyclist Danni Shrosbree in Girona ahead of the kick off to her 2025 race season. Growing up as a running and competitive swimmer, Dani dabbled in triathlon a bit, then was recruited to her university rowing team. After university she was looking for an outlet to stay active and found cycling, at first just for fun, but was talked into doing a crit race (which she won) and was hooked from there. From there, Danni worked her way up the road racing ranks and eventually joined a UCI continental team - all while working full time. Danni dabbled in some off-road riding over the pandemic with her dad, and decided to give gravel racing a try in 2023. She loved it, and in looking for more gravel races, she ended up applying for, and getting accepted into the Life Time Grand Prix. Danni committed to gravel racing for the 2024, but after sponsorship changes that year she left the Grand Prix to focus on the Gravel Earth series. As a European-based rider, Danni opens up about the challenges of racing in the USA, and also the changes that she has seen as a female racer in Europe.

Welcome to Episode 59 of This is Not Happening (TINH), an Album of the Month (AOTM) Podcast. We're missing a team-member this month as Davide is on an Anglo-French diplomatic mission. In Part 1 we deep dive into an Album that one of us has chosen and in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or Bin it'. We pick a theme and each pick a song that represents that theme. We judge the selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?In Part 1, Nolan is in the seat. He brings Little Sim'z new album, Lotus. This was a reluctant choice when he made it. He thought it was an interesting album but he was far from loving it. Has that changed in a month?In Part 2, we celebrate New Music. What are our favourite new tracks from the last couple of months? ----- Part 1 | Little Simz | 'Lotus' -----This is the 2nd Little Simz album we're reviewed as our little Album of the Month collective. Last time round was here debut album Grey Area which would all pretty much loved. I think our experience of her work since then has varied significantly. This album has been launched in a quite dramatic and controversial environment following the collapse of Simz' relationship with former collaborator Inflo. What does Simz sound like without Inflo? Let's find out.Listen to the album, listen to the pod, tell us what you think. Here are some links that we mention on the pod or think could be useful to explore;Listen to the album ... HERE.We mention the great Louis Theroux podcast interview ... HERE.Watch the video for 'Young' ... HERE.Buy some stuff ... HERE. ----- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'New Music' -----The theme this month is New Music. Simple. What new tunes are we loving? There's LOADS of amazing music out but we also need to pick something that we think the rest of us will vote 'spin it' to.Joey chose 'Feisty' by Smerz.Nolan chose 'Next to You' by Erykah Badu and The Alchemist.David chose 'Tricky' by New Windows.Guy chose 'Lowly' by Young FathersWe all chose 4 tracks as a shortlist which we combine into a belter of a 16 track playlist, listen to that bad boy HERE.We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/

In this episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with Jeff Mankoff about rising tensions between Russia and Azerbaijan following a brutal crackdown and arrests on both sides. They explore how Azerbaijan's assertiveness reflects shifting power dynamics in the former Soviet space and its growing confidence after victory in Karabakh. The conversation also covers Azerbaijan's energy clout, ties to Turkey, and Moscow's costs from escalating tensions. Later, they examine Russia's faltering effort to rally the Global South against the West, with BRICS losing momentum.

Welcome to our third episode in our SBT GRVL series! This week Kathryn and Kristi welcome cyclist and mom of two, Lani Woods. Lani is captaining a GRVL Femmes team at SBT this coming weekend, leading a group of five women through the event. Lani got her start in cycling after a knee injury in 2020 sidelined her from obstacle course racing. She found joy on the bike, and loved being able to push herself further and further. Lani has raced almost every discipline of cycling, but has gravitated towards ultra endurance events and, more recently, gravel racing. Lani spent most of her life in California, but has recently moved to Hawaii, and she is loving getting to explore new dirt roads on the island, and connecting with a new cycling community. She gives her advice for anyone who is curious about getting into gravel, and highlights why it is important to have visibility of all women on gravel start lines.

Edie Perkins was a 46-year-old elite runner and cyclist when a catastrophic accident left her paralyzed from the chest down—just as she was entering menopause. In this candid conversation, Edie reveals how her hormonal changes intersected with her spinal cord injury recovery, leaving her with misdiagnosed UTIs, sheet-soaking night sweats she blamed on her injury, declining bone density, and a huge struggle to sort through her challenges and get quality care. Yet, through all of it, Edie continues to race (finishing second place in the handcycle division of this year's Boston Marathon), ski, and live an active life. We talk about it all and more this week. Edie Perkins served as Executive Director of the Kelly Brush Foundation from 2021 to 2025. She previously spent over twenty years managing businesses and developing curriculum products for Pre-K-12 schools. In 2017, Edie was struck by a driver while riding her bike and suffered a spinal cord injury (SCI). She is now paralyzed from the chest down. Always an athlete and active in the running and cycling communities, she sought out support after her injury and is now a competitive handcyclist and finished second at the 2025 Boston Marathon. She is thrilled to bring together her professional background, passion for sports, and new experience living with an SCI to help others thrive.Resources:The Kelly Brush FoundationGet 25% off all courses through the end of June 2025!

“The person who wins is often the one who is fending off the menopause the best!” Those were words of advice a fellow competitor once gave this week's guest, physiotherapist and competitive cyclist Nicole Oh. That would be something Nicole would come to learn firsthand just a few short years later, as she found herself navigating mysterious joint pain, hot spells, and concerning bone loss. This week Nicole talks candidly about how she preserved performance during the transition, why she now champions DEXA scans for midlife athletes, and the role of plyometrics in protecting bone health. She also discusses the importance of being proactive—not reactive—when it comes to training, recovery, and maintaining power, and her personal mission to crack 1000 watts. Nicole Oh is a physiotherapist from Sydney who specializes in the management of cyclists and triathletes. Nicole combines her cycling knowledge and physiotherapy skills to offer bike fitting services for all levels of riders. She also writes for the UK magazine Cycling Weekly on bike fitting, health and injury. Nicole was a late comer to endurance sports, starting as a triathlete, then switching to road racing in 2012 at the age of 35, racing in the UK, Europe, and now Australia. She has won National Masters titles in road and criterium racing, time trialling and cyclocross.

This is the first episode of a three part series in collaboration with SBT GRVL. Kathryn is joined by guest host and SBT founder Amy Charity, and the pair get the chance to chat with professional cyclist Ellen Noble. Ellen is part of a new initiative by the folks at SBT for 2025 called the SBT GRVL Femmes Challenge mentorship program. The program pairs professional racers with a team of amateur women who want to take on the race at SBT. The mentors will join their teams throughout the whole race, to help them with everything from pacing to nutrition and technical assistance. The goal of the program is to encourage more women to take on the race day at SBT, and show them that you don't have to be a “bike racer” to do a bike race. Ellen is the perfect mentor for this program as she has an extensive background racing all disciplines of cycling at the highest level. However, in 2019 she was diagnosed with a medical condition that threatened her career and led her to take a few years away from racing. Ellen talks about the humbling process of facing a health condition that stripped away her identity of a “bike racer” and how she has painstakingly built herself back to a place where she feels healthy and strong enough to race her bike again.

When some of the biggest names in menopause medicine want to learn to lift heavy, they turn to this week's guest, Nike Master Trainer and midlife fitness advocate Holly Rilinger, founder of the LIFTED Method. Because Holly gets it. She's been through her own journey with damaging diet culture, body image issues, and a challenging perimenopause that has left her navigating sheet soaking night sweats, brain fog, and fatigue. Through a midlife-specific training plan and tailored hormone therapy regimen (including testosterone), she's been able to reclaim her energy and power and is devoted to helping others do the same.

At the start of 2024, 55 year old ultrarunner Hilde Dosogne set out to achieve the world record of being the first woman to complete a marathon distance run every single day of the year. On December 31st of last year, she clocked her 366th 26.2 mile run (it was a leap year, which means she had one extra day to run) and her record was verified by Guinness in March. And we had questions, mostly how? How did she stay healthy? (Spoiler, she didn't, but kept going.) Is she managing menopause symptoms? (Yep.) What does she want others to take from her feat? (The power of the mind and so much more.) This week we share our conversation about her journey to set that Guinness World Record.Hilde Dosogne is a Belgian ultrarunner who started running at 41 and found her stride as a world-class endurance athlete quickly thereafter. Her career highlights include 100km Race Belgian Champion in 2023; 4th place in Ultrabalaton, a 210km race around Lake Balaton in Hungary; finishing Spartathlon in 2022 and 2023, and Marathon Des Sables, a 250km stage race in the Moroccan desert in 2021. She is also a mother of four and a bio-engineer. In 2024, she set a Guinness World Record by running 366 consecutive marathons in support of breast cancer research. Hilde is dedicated to pushing the limits of human endurance and proving what we're capable of when we set our mind to it.
