IN THIS EPISODE Shifts in midlife that cause brain-related symptoms  Main drivers of brain inflammation and what it can mean for you The intersection between your immune system and metabolism  How inflammation is related to dementia and depression  Diet and nutrition tips for a healthier brain and body  Movement and resistance training to decrease brain inflammation Top tips to minimize inflammation and protect your brain   QUOTES“That may be one of the reasons why postmenopausal women are at higher risk of depression and dementia because estrogen has a neurotrophic role, meaning it helps to regulate neuroplasticity and inflammation in the brain and energy metabolism.” “The core point here is that the brain seems to have more trouble using fuel as we get older. And this correlates with dementia in particular.” “I think what has been a deep truth of mine for quite some time is that brain inflammation or inflammation in general can have an impact on cognitive function… and this is an everybody problem. Most importantly, how do we future-proof our brain?” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Austin's Free E-Guide on preventing dementia  Licehn Air: Dr. Austin's Air health brand that targets brain-damaging air pollutants Big Bold Health: Get Tartary Buckwheat for longevity and immunity, plus other top supplements HERE Dr. Austin Perlmutter's Website Dr. Austin Perlmutter's Instagram  Preorder my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE and get instant access to over $500 worth of bonuses!

What is sarcopenia and why is this such an important topic for every woman over 40?  That is the topic of conversation today.  What is Sarcopoenia? Sarcopenia is to muscle what osteoporosis is to bone.  Significant loss of skeletal muscle mass and or muscle strength. Sarcopenia is tied to anabolic resistance in midlife women, making it harder to gain lean muscle growth or maintenance after 40. Older adults - both men and women - have to work harder to gain lean muscle mass.  Women have less overall body mass and muscle to begin with and more dramatic reductions in estrogen at menopause, than men experience loss of testosterone.  The key stimulus for muscle protein synthesis, will suffer more from loss of strength and mass if they aren't carefully offsetting it with planned and progressive resistance training.  For women, estrogen protects muscle and bone. We need and use testosterone which is the most abundant hormone in the female body - but it's the decline in estrogen that makes the difference in muscle preservation. What Contributes to Sarcopenia?  Malnutrition. Combined with sarcopenia, it's a predictor of all-cause mortality than sarcopenia alone.  The United States is one of the most overfed and undernourished countries in the world. We're not eating well enough to sustain health.  Sarcopenia is 100% avoidable.  How Do You Measure Sarcopenia? Strength Fat free mass and height Online calculators  There are physical tests or measures that include grip strength or calf circumference.  Women didn't measure or track their skeletal muscle mass decades ago to know where it was at peak. It's harder to say how much mass or strength you've lost.  The Surprising Statistics on What is Sarcopenia On average, muscle loss occurs 3-8% each decade starting at 30. That CAN accelerate during menopause transition. It isn't associated with loss of estrogen driving skeletal muscle protein synthesis down. It's the side effects of the decline of estrogen.  Not sleeping. Struggle exercising as hard or as long  Less support for your muscle from testosterone and growth hormone  Have cortisol, ghrelin and leptin hormone dysregulation that interferes with muscle and fat. We do have the ability to regain lean muscle.  It's proven (and shared in prior episodes) that 85+ individuals can gain both mass and strength.  Available Sarcopenia Assessments: SARC-F  A simple questionnaire that is a good point of reference but an easy assessment if you're active.  How it works: Includes 5 components with scale scores range from 0 to 10: Strength: How much difficulty do you have in lifting and carrying 10 pounds? Assistance in walking: How much difficulty do you have walking across a room, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Rise from a chair: How much difficulty do you have transferring from a chair or bed, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Climb stairs: How much difficulty do you have climbing a flight of 10 stairs? Falls: How many times have you fallen in the past year? Flipping 50 Fitness Scorecard  Helps not only measure strength and muscle mass but to see how you rank according to others in your age group.  Most important is progress, comparing you to you. Start where you are by benchmarking it and learn how to improve it. How is Sarcopenia Diagnosed? Fat-Free Mass Index: FFMI ≤ 15 kg/m2 Visit this URL to calculate (turn on metric to see result): https://ffmicalculator.org/ A strength test. What is Sarcopenia: The New Glossary Osteosarcopenia - low bone mass and low muscle mass Sarcobesity - low muscle mass and high fat mass Osteosarcobesity - low bone mass, low muscle mass and high fat mass  Osteobesity - low bone mass and high fat mass    The biggest risk of sarcopenia is falling due to instability and inability to “right” yourself when slips and falls occur. I promised we'd visit what's possible so here that is: A 1.9-3.3% increase in global muscle mass in humans is associated with a 4.1% to 5.8% lower fat mass and reduced A1c and fasting glucose in studies lasting 2 weeks to 3 years.   How to Avoid Sarcopenia? Resistance train 2x per week minimum, for some that's maximum. Know your recovery needs. Consume high protein foods and micronutrient dense foods at each meal.   Wouldn't it be wonderful if in 30 or 40 years, “What is sarcopenia?” is a question like “What is scurvy or rickets?” now which is never heard of. That starts with us.    References:  Nutrients. 2023, PMID: 38201856. Sports Medicine, 2025, PMID: 40576707. Advances in Nutrition 2025, PMID: 40222723. Scientific Reports, 2025, PMID: 39833326.

In this episode, we welcome author Lauren Tetenbaum to discuss her new book, "Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life's Next Period." Lauren, a perinatal mental health specialist, shares her motivation for writing the book: a shocking realization of how little she, and many women, knew about this significant life stage. We delve into common misunderstandings surrounding perimenopause and menopause, emphasizing that symptoms like mood changes, irritability, and brain fog can begin as early as the late 30s and are often dismissed. The conversation highlights the critical need for better education, trusted healthcare providers, and open communication with partners, even dedicating a chapter in the book for men. Lauren stresses the importance of community and destigmatizing menopause, advocating for it to be discussed as openly as pregnancy and motherhood.

In this groundbreaking episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Dr. Daved Rosensweet—a physician with 55 years of experience who has been fighting for women's hormone rights since before most of us were born—to break down the game-changing FDA meeting that happened last week. For the first time in decades, the FDA is considering removing the black box warning from estrogen that has terrorized women and doctors for over 20 years. Dr. Rosensweet calls it "the biggest healthcare mistake of our time," and he's not wrong—this false warning has kept millions of women from life-saving hormone therapy. But here's what the media isn't telling you: the science has ALWAYS shown that women on hormones have LESS risk of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke than women who go untreated. Yes, you read that right—LESS risk, not more. Dr. Rosensweet and Dr. Betty dive deep into why compounding bioidentical hormones are the gold standard, how to find the right provider, and why every woman—regardless of age—deserves to investigate hormone therapy. They also tackle the controversial topic of testosterone for women and why it's not a "male hormone" but a human hormone essential for muscle preservation and brain health. What You'll Learn: -The real science behind hormone therapy and breast cancer risk -Why women who've HAD breast cancer are actually safer on hormones -The truth about compounding pharmacies vs. commercial hormones -Why symptom relief isn't enough—you need proper testing -How to find a qualified hormone specialist -Why it's never "too late" to start hormone therapy If you're tired of being scared away from the hormones your body desperately needs, this episode will give you the courage and knowledge to take back control of your health.

If you're curious about recognizing burnout, understanding hormonal impacts, or seeking ways to thrive through midlife, this episode is packed with valuable insights and hope.   Key Points & Takeaways: Burnout & Perimenopause Overlap: Many women experience symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, and emotional detachment during perimenopause, often exacerbated by stress and life pressures. These symptoms can be mistaken for other issues, leading to confusion and delayed support. The Role of Hormones: Fluctuating oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels during perimenopause impact brain function, resilience, and stress management, making women more vulnerable to burnout. Research Insights: Rachael's qualitative research with 15 women uncovered four key themes, including the "lost in transition" feeling—women feeling a loss of identity and grappling with the invisible pressures of work and life. Challenges in Diagnosis: Many women struggle to get clear answers, often being misdiagnosed or told their symptoms are due to stress or depression. Blood tests may not always provide clarity in perimenopause. Pathways to Empowerment: Supportive interventions like hormone replacement therapy (HRT), coaching, counseling, and building community can help women regain confidence, set boundaries, and re-evaluate their lives. The Power of Community & Support: Normalizing conversations about menopause and burnout, creating safe spaces, and sharing stories can reduce stigma and foster resilience. Hope & Positive Change: Many women find empowerment and renewed confidence after navigating these challenges, often emerging with clearer boundaries, stronger self-awareness, and a sense of freedom.   Connect with Rachael and learn more about her work at Manchester Menopause Hive (https://manchestermenopausehive.co.uk/) and via The Burnout Revolution podcast and Substack newsletter (https://rachaelchrystal.substack.com/podcast)  If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a review.

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm sitting down with RNTer Archna Mehta who joined us a year ago after hitting a breaking point when she was trying on clothes during a shopping visit. She tried everything for years but after seeing her cousin go through the RNT journey, she knew a holistic approach with a proven method was the missing piece.Fast forward a year and despite PCOS, menopause, hypothyroid, vegetarian diet and being in her mid-40s, Archna is in the best shape of her life and is now working on building a lifestyle solution to maintain it year-round. And it's not just the physical results. Archna has grown in confidence and energy; and her health, hormones and habits are in the best place ever. Archna is now entering her second year into the journey, and this is an awesome podcast showing what happens when you go all in.   Chapters: 00:00 The Trigger Moment for Change 02:58 The Journey Begins: Commitment to Transformation 06:05 Overcoming Skepticism and Building Trust 08:50 Navigating the Early Stages of Change 12:12 Vision and Accountability in the Transformation Process 14:58 Post-Checkpoint Challenges and Mindset Shifts 18:00 The Importance of Holistic Approaches 21:07 Reflections on the Journey and Future Goals 26:46 Navigating Health Challenges and Lifestyle Changes 29:02 The Impact of Menopause on Wellness 30:03 The Grind: Overcoming Physical and Mental Barriers 32:39 Consolidation: Transitioning to Maintenance 36:56 Strength Training: Building a Stronger Future 42:52 The Role of Physical Health in Emotional Well-being 45:40 Investing in Your Health: The Value of Commitment 48:28 Advice for Those Starting Their Journey   Next steps:  1) Apply for 1-1 coaching: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/pro/   2) Take our quiz to see if you're ready for a transformation: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transform   3) Get our free book shipped to your door: https://bit.ly/tybtylform   4) Try our free 28 day fat loss accelerator: https://www.rntfitness.co.uk/transformation-accelerator  5) Optimum Nutrition: RNT20 for 20% off Connect with RNT Fitness:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  YouTube  Email  Connect with Akash:  Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn

It's no secret in 2025 that stronger muscles lead to longer life. If you're a woman in perimenopause, postmenopause or anything in between, this is no surprise to you. I think we are very aware of it, but let's unpack how weight lifting treats and prevents chronic diseases. Women, at any age, need stronger muscles for a longer life. Not just for aesthetics, but for functionality and independence.   My Guest: A longtime Vanity Fair contributing editor, Michael Joseph Gross has published investigative reporting, essays, and books about culture, technology, politics, religion, and business. He was raised in rural Illinois and lives in New York City.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:04:31] How did this become a topic of interest to you personally?  [00:07:54] Let's connect strength training to prevention and treatment of illnesses often associated - even accepted - with aging? [00:20:17] Weight training has been shown to decrease anxiety and to have positive effects on risk of Alzheimer's or type 3 diabetes, can you explain for the listeners?  [00:26:31] How has the work of Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh showed that weight training may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's? [00:33:13] Why is lifting heavy important? Do you worry that leading with “lift heavy” intimidates women? What did you uncover as evidence that it is never too late to start progressive strength training?   Why Strength Training? Strength training changes more than just your body—it's internal too. It's not about looking stronger—it's about being stronger. Adolescence and menopause are both times when women feel their bodies are changing without their consent. Strength training gives back a sense of control, capability, and power.   Stronger Muscles Longer Life At Any Age   Strong Youth: Peak bone mass forms in youth—strength training in adolescence builds lifelong health. A 10% increase in bone mass reduces future fracture risk by more than 50%.   Strong in Midlife: Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh, geriatrician and professor in Sydney, Australia, found that even 90+ year-olds can gain muscle mass with high-intensity training. Weight training can treat and prevent nearly all chronic diseases.   Stronger Muscles Through Weight Lifting Treats and Prevents These Diseases: Type 2 Diabetes Heart Disease Osteoporosis Depression and Anxiety Insomnia Osteoarthritis Frailty Dementia & Alzheimer's Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Fall Risk   Periodization & Smart Strength Training: Periodization: Cycles of high effort, deloading, and rest. Women (especially Type A) tend to push too hard—leading to burnout or injury. Strength training should energize you, not exhaust you. Part of lifting heavy is lifting light. The goal: Live better, not just lift more.   Ancient Greek Lesson: The Right Time to Train Greek word kairos = the “opportune moment” for action. Good training is about doing the right thing at the right time. Don't blindly follow a plan. Train for your body today.   Connect with Michael: Michael's Website Twitter - DuttonBooks   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - 5 Things I Would Do If I Were Tired All the Time  More Like This - What's Best Total Body or Split Routine in Menopause   Resources: Tune in to the upcoming Flipping 50 Masterclass.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) shouldn't be shrouded in outdated fears and misinformation. When I finally started HRT at 57, I realized I'd spent years unnecessarily suffering through sleepless nights, hot flashes, and night sweats—chalked up to “normal aging”—when effective treatments already existed.My journey began after a hysterectomy, when a nurse practitioner discovered my testosterone level was critically low (11 ng/dl, with a normal range of 13–87). That led to my first experience with vaginal estrogen and topical testosterone. But over time, I learned I needed a more comprehensive approach—including systemic estrogen and progesterone—to truly feel like myself again.This episode also breaks down the recent FDA meeting that addressed two major barriers to women's hormone health:The outdated black box warning on vaginal estrogenThe ongoing lack of FDA-approved testosterone options for womenThese regulatory hurdles continue to block access to treatments that dramatically improve quality of life for midlife women.Whether you're working with your OB-GYN or exploring options through platforms like MyAlloy, MidiHealth, HerMD, or Parlor Games—support exists. But you must advocate for yourself. No woman should suffer in silence or settle for a life that feels like a shadow of her former self.Share this episode with someone who thinks they're “just getting older” and doesn't realize how good they could actually feel.Some Online Women's Health Resources:Allara Health, Midi Health, Alloy Women's Health, Evernow, Winona, HerMD, Femgevity, Maven ClinicThis episode is not intended to be medical advice. I'm sharing my personal journey with hormone replacement therapy in hopes of starting a conversation and helping other women feel less alone. I realize HRT is not the right fit for everyone._________________________________________Are you ready to reclaim your midlife body and health?

Is one outdated warning label standing between millions of women and safe, effective care? In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Yahir Santiago-Lastra, a urologist specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at UC San Diego, joins host Dr. Suzette Sutherland to discuss the black box warning on vaginal estrogen, its historical context, and the ongoing advocacy efforts to update outdated FDA guidelines. --- SYNPOSIS The conversation covers the importance of low-dose vaginal estrogen in treating genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), the fear surrounding hormone therapy due to misinterpreted data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study, and the inequities faced in women's health, particularly in the context of hormone replacement therapies. They discuss the legislative and advocacy strategies needed to enact change, emphasizing the role of professional societies, legislative efforts, patient advocacy, and industry support in overcoming the barriers to updating the black box warning. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction03:43 - History Behind the Estradiol Black Box Warning13:44 - The FDA Citizen Petition18:18 - Gender Inequity in Medicine24:05 - The Role of Organizational Guidelines in Patient Advocacy28:51 - Vaginal Estrogen for Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)32:57 - Medicare Spending and Legislative Advocacy44:56 - Recap and Future Directions --- RESOURCES (TRAVERSE Trial) Cardiovascular Safety of Testosterone-Replacement Therapyhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2215025 Systemic or Vaginal Hormone Therapy After Early Breast Cancer: A Danish Observational Cohort Studyhttps://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djac112 (ASCO Study) Use of local estrogen therapy among breast cancer patients in SEER-MHOS databasehttps://doi.org/10.1200/JCO.2025.43.16_suppl.578 Vaginal estrogen use in breast cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of recurrence and mortality riskshttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajog.2024.10.054

In this empowering, fascinating, and fun episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz is joined by internationally respected hormone expert, best-selling author, and educator Dr. Lindsey Berkson. With over four decades of experience in clinical practice, hormone research, and medical education, Dr. Berkson brings unmatched depth to the conversation about one of today's most pressing and misunderstood health issues: hormone disruption.   Together, they unpack how declining hormones—especially estrogen, testosterone, and oxytocin—are impacting intimacy, energy, fertility, and long-term health.

She holds patents in bioidentical hormone therapy, has collaborated on research in estrogen receptor science, and consults internationally on nutrition for hormone-driven cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, renal disorders, and more.   She teaches continuing education for medical professionals and is the founder of multiple educational platforms for both clinicians and the public.   Resources Mentioned:   Six-Week Foundations of Healing Course:  https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/foundations Website: www.drlindseyberkson.com Memberships: drlindseyberkson.com/membership Substack: drlindseyberkson.substack.com Everything Hormones CME Course: drlindseyberkson.com/everythinghormones Vilified to Vindicated Course (V2V): drlindseyberkson.com/v2v Nutritional Medicine by Dr. Alan Gaby: https://doctorgaby.com   Looking for personalized support?

My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health. Additionally, we discuss how biology relates to gender identity and the impact of hormone therapies on brain circuits that regulate mating, parenting and social bonding.

Menopause is having a moment. Celebrities like Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, and Michelle Obama have recently shared their personal menopause experiences. Menopause and perimenopause are showing up across social media and even in popular books. All this to say, menopause has finally gone mainstream. But, it wasn't until about three decades ago that menopause research really kicked into gear. Since then, scientists have made a lot of progress in understanding the basic biological process as well as treatments like hormone therapy and the importance of separating symptoms of menopause from those of aging. Host Flora Lichtman talks with two menopause researchers, ob-gyn Monica Christmas and epidemiologist Carrie Karvonen-Gutierrez, about what we've learned so far—and what misconceptions bug them most.Guests: Dr. Monica Christmas is an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Chicago and director of the menopause program at UChicago Medicine.Dr. Carrie Karvonen-Gutierrez is an associate professor of epidemiology and the director of the Center for Midlife Science at the University of Michigan.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Tired of chasing "skinny" and feeling weaker than ever? It's time to chase strength instead. In this empowering episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Anne-Marie Chaker, former Wall Street Journal journalist turned strength training advocate and author of "Lift: How Women Can Reclaim Their Physical Power and Transform Their Lives." Anne-Marie's transformation story will blow your mind—from struggling with postpartum depression, grief, and a crumbling marriage to discovering the life-changing power of lifting heavy weights. But this isn't just about fitness; it's about reclaiming your power as a woman in a world that's been telling you to be "less" your entire life. Discover why our ancestors were built like elite rowers, how the "skinny obsession" is actually a modern patriarchal construct designed to keep women small and controllable, and why strength training is literally survival for women over 40. Plus, Anne-Marie reveals the shocking historical evidence that women have always been warriors—not delicate flowers picking berries. Dr. Betty and Anne-Marie dive deep into the bone-building benefits of strength training (crucial for preventing osteoporosis), the right way to fuel your workouts, and why that "high reps, low weight" advice is keeping you weak. They also tackle the persistent myth that women will "bulk up" and share practical tips for getting started—even with soup cans! What You'll Learn: Why chasing "skinny" is sabotaging your health and happiness The fascinating anthropological evidence that women were built to be strong How strength training transforms your confidence, not just your body The protein requirements for women over 40 (hint: it's way more than you think) Why resistance training is your best defense against bone loss Simple ways to start strength training at home or in the gym If you're ready to stop shrinking yourself and start building the strong, powerful woman you were meant to be, this episode is your wake-up call.

Description: We've got an absolute legend in the house. She's a country music powerhouse, a Grammy winner, a TV star, a best-selling cookbook author, and honestly, probably the only person who could out-sing you and out-cook you on the same day — we're talking about the one and only Trisha Yearwood. You know this queen's voice from classics like 'She's in Love with the Boy' and 'How Do I Live' — songs that have made us cry, and belt in our cars, and maybe text someone we shouldn't. And now, she's back with a brand new album called The Mirror — and let us tell you, it's not just a comeback, it's a reflection, literally. It's raw, it's real, and it's perhaps her most vulnerable project yet. The Mirror is Trisha's first album where she's co-written every song, stepping into new creative territory as both a singer and songwriter. It's a window into Trisha's life at this moment—a culmination of decades in the spotlight, but told on her own terms. It's not just an album—it's a statement of identity, and an invitation to look at yourself with courage and compassion. We're talking about life, love, growth, and how Trisha continues to reinvent herself while staying grounded in what matters. So grab a coffee, or something stronger, and get comfy — because Trisha and Jen are inviting us into their conversation on how we let go of the things that no longer fit who we are so we can embrace the things putting fresh wind at our backs. Thought-provoking Quotes: “There's something in me that really believes in me. It has to be or I wouldn't be sitting here doing these things.”– Trisha Yearwood “I've never been a person who could answer the question, ‘where do you see yourself in the next five years?' I just know that I'm open to the opportunities.”– Trisha Yearwood “For a long time. I let the approval part of me drive the car. I drove that car to plenty of places I was out of alignment with. I don't think I'll ever be completely rid of that voice, but she's in the backseat now. She's not driving the car anymore.”– Trisha Yearwood “Songwriting makes you instantly intimate because you're having to be really vulnerable.”– Trisha Yearwood “From a young age, a lot of women are taught that we don't get to write our own story and we don't get to take control. But you get to decide what the truth about you is and how you want your life to be.”– Trisha Yearwood Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Mirror Album by Trisha Yearwood - https://trishayearwood.lnk.to/TheMirror Trisha's Southern Kitchen on Food Network - https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/trishas-southern-kitchen Dry Needling - https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/16542-dry-needling Frozen Shoulder in Menopause - https://bit.ly/44NNOJi Awake: a Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/40Og791 Walkaway Joe - https://open.spotify.com/track/5pzoq7ggrA0GN3SMjy0NT8 She's in Love with a Boy - https://open.spotify.com/track/4EJvW4NHAk7TrIeX44jjXF The Song Remembers When - https://open.spotify.com/track/4dS7TYCTGKyhs9ZDt8iPcT The Bluebird Cafe - https://bluebirdcafe.com/ TalkShopLive - https://talkshop.live/channels/trishayearwood Guest's Links: Website - https://www.trishayearwood.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/TrishaYearwood Twitter - https://x.com/TrishaYearwood Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TrishaYearwood Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw0Nn2LTsXGB0rP53Z0ACWQ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@itstrishayearwood Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.
