In this episode of The Wellegant Woman Podcast, we dive into the midlife money mindset—specifically why so many women over 40 struggle with money anxiety, scarcity mindset, overspending, and the emotional side of finances. Instead of talking budgets or spreadsheets, we explore the deeper patterns: cultural conditioning around women and money, nervous system dysregulation, emotional spending, people-pleasing, performative generosity, and the approval loop that keeps women stuck in financial stress.You'll learn why midlife is the turning point where old money stories become intolerable, how the holidays often trigger money-related overwhelm, and how to start building a healthier, more empowered relationship with money rooted in alignment, worthiness, and calm confidence. If you've ever felt stressed about money—even when your finances are “fine”—this episode will feel like a breath of relief. Send a Text Message :)

In this episode of Sex Advice for Seniors, I had a blast talking with Lauren  Elise Rogers, a certified holistic sexuality educator and embodied intimacy coach based in West Virginia. Lauren introduced me to a fascinating idea she calls weeding our sexual gardens—a powerful metaphor for examining and removing outdated sexual beliefs that no longer serve us. Through her gentle guidance, she led me through an exercise that explores the sexual and relational messages we absorb at ages 7, 14, and 21, helping us understand how those early “seeds” continue to shape our adult desires and choices.Lauren also shared her deeply personal journey from growing up in a conservative, evangelical environment to reclaiming her body, pleasure, and autonomy after leaving a difficult marriage. Her transformation is remarkable - from purity rings and religious shame to running SexEd4U, a global coaching practice focused on informed, ethical, and joyful sexuality. Our conversation touched on everything from pleasure as an antidote to pain, to how parenting and relationships evolve after midlife, and why empty nesters often rediscover who they really are.What resonated most for me was Lauren's message that pleasure has no age limit and no moral hierarchy. As she beautifully put it, it's not about what we do with our bodies but about knowing we deserve choice, consent, and joy at every stage of life. By “weeding our sexual gardens,” we can cultivate new beliefs that let our intimate lives flourish—whether we're single, partnered, or still figuring things out.You can find Lauren here:Chapters00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Sexual Gardens03:09 Exploring Sexual Beliefs and Personal Growth12:03 Navigating Relationships and Parenting Dynamics21:04 The Importance of Informed Decision-Making in SexualityHi, I'm Suzanne, author of the bestseller ‘The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir,' pleasure seeker and curious about ways to improve our intimate relationships as we age.Each week, I delve into a different aspects of sex, dating and relationships with an expert which I bring to you via the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast.Once a week, I write or invite a guest to write a more personal story, which could be in the form of an erotic experience, a sex toy review or perhaps a new perspective, typically behind a paywall.Alongside this Substack, I advocate for the right to sexual pleasure in later life through speaking engagements, attending conferences and other events, which your subscription helps to pay me to attend.Being a subscriber has multiple benefits for you:* Receive my book, ‘Sex Toys & Supplements for Thriving in Later Life'* Join my private chat where you can ask questions of a personal nature* Helping to contribute to the conversation around sex and sexual health in later lifeI'm grateful for each and every subscriber that pays £6.99 or £49.99 per year so do consider taking a subscription if you have the means to do so.Thousands of people are saying, I'm so grateful Suzanne has taken on one of the big taboos because I wouldn't have the confidence to do it.

In this week's episode of Letters from Midlife, Kiran reads a deeply familiar letter from a listener who's found herself awake at 2 or 3 am most nights, exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why her once-reliable sleep has suddenly fallen apart.If you're in perimenopause and your nights feel broken, scattered, or unpredictable, this conversation will feel like sitting down with someone who truly understands. Kiran breaks down why midlife sleep changes are so common, what's happening inside your hormones and nervous system, and why none of this means you're failing or losing control.Here's the thing… this isn't about sleep hygiene or willpower. It's about working with a body that's in transition. I share gentle, practical shifts that can help you reclaim your nights; from regulating your nervous system before bed, to creating space to rest during the day, to planning for those inevitable 3 am wake-ups without spiralling. She also speaks honestly about her own experience of lying awake in the dark, and how compassion, pacing, and support (including HRT) changed everything.You'll walk away with grounded tools, a calming perspective, and a journaling prompt to help you tune back into what your body's been trying to say.If your sleep has felt unpredictable lately, this episode will meet you right where you are and remind you that you're not broken, you're recalibrating.Listen in, breathe a little deeper, and take what you need.If you'd like the full written reflection, journaling prompts, and deeper guidance, you can read the full article inside Substack.Kiransinghuk.com

In this episode, I'm joined by registered dietitian Kayla Girgen to talk about what it really takes to build strength and resilience in midlife—without burning out. We dive into common fitness and nutrition myths that keep women stuck, how to train smarter (not harder), and why simple things like walking with weight—aka rucking—can transform your metabolism, muscle, and mindset. Timestamps:[.15] Intro[3:18] Interview with Kayla Girgen[3:48] What actually counts as strength training?[9:09] For women who are already active, what shifts should they make in mid life to better support bone density?[12:38] Talk me through food for bone density [18:00] What are some shifts that I can make to my current fitness routine to make it beneficial to my changing body?[21:43] After age 35, how much of our routine should be cardio vs strength work? [23:03] How often are you rucking?[23:40] What exactly is rucking and how does it differ from walking?[25:34] How does rucking compare to running, HIIT or cycling in terms of energy output, joint health or any of that?[27:24] Is there science yet that looks at rucking?[28:56] Let's talk about weighted vests. What's the difference between weighted vests and rucking and if it's actually worth it?[34:54] What would you say to people who say wearing a weighted vest or a pack with weight changes your posture and lead to injury?[37:25] Is there a specific weight that needs to be carried? How do you know where to start? [39:42] Are you using a normal backpack or a specific backpack? [45:53] What are some of the biggest pitfalls that you see women run into when it comes to nutrition?[53:02] What's the easiest way for someone to start carrying the load?[57:57] If a women only had 20 minutes a day, would you rather her ruck, lift or walk?Episode Links:Well Minerals Vitamin CRuck FitVisit Kayla's WebsiteWin the WeekFree CGM GuideSponsors:Go to https://thisisneeded.com/  and use coupon code WELLFED for 20% off your first order.Go to http://mdlogichealth.com/wfcolostrum, and use coupon code WFC15 for 15% off.

Here's your invitation to slow down, tune in, and truly support yourself through the midlife transition.  Because all the changes in menopause, emotionally and physically, can seriously rock your identity.  That's why I've invited mindfulness expert Rosie Acosta on the podcast to explore the intersection of mindfulness and menopause, and how being in a community with other women can make this season of life feel less isolating and so much more empowering.  Rosie shares how anxiety can become a messenger to your body rather than an enemy, and offers simple breathing techniques so you can feel grounded anytime, anywhere.  Together, we redefine what womanhood and wellness look like in midlife and beyond—more connected and more intentional than ever. Listen now to feel seen and inspired on your midlife journey! Rosie Acosta Rosie Acosta is a mindfulness teacher at Headspace and author of You Are Radically Loved: A Healing Journey to Self-Love. With over 20 years of study and a decade of teaching, she's led transformative retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings worldwide. A devoted advocate for equity and intergenerational healing, she volunteers with the Re-Evolution Prison Project and is earning her Master's in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine. She's also the host of The Radically Well Podcast.  IN THIS EPISODE What relationships and community in midlife should look like  How to use mindfulness to support changes in menopause  Mindful ways to manage anxiety rather than fighting against it The uptick in early perimenopause and autoimmune disorders  Using mindfulness to shift the menopause narrative   What radical love looks like for a woman in midlife  Embracing change and your evolving identity in menopause  About Rosie's Book: You Are Radically Loved QUOTES “As a perimenopause expert, it's like a moving target. Something that worked one day might not work the next. I think if I had to give the people listening right now just one technique that works, it's learning how to use your breath to ground, to create safety even if it's just for a couple of minutes.” “I think the more that we have conversations like this, the more normalized it will become, and the more normalized having these conversations will become. It gives us the empowerment and the invitation to ask questions, to ask our doctors to do the right types of tests, to get different opinions, to explore.” “Radical love to me means embracing the whole of who you are.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Rosie's book: YOU ARE RADICALLY LOVED https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Radically-Loved-Self-Love/dp/0593330153 Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get $100 off on your first CAROL Bike order https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE Rosie on Instagram Rosie Acosta on Substack Check out Rosie's Podcast: The Radically Well Podcast  RELATED EPISODES #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey #692: Why Emotional Healing is Hormone Healing-The New Path to Midlife Empowerment with Ashley Turner  #565: How to Live in a State of Ease and Flow vs. Overwhelm and Resentment + Reclaiming Your Aliveness with Alexi Panos #598: Break the Cycle of Burnout, Anxiety, and Fear by Tapping into Heart Coherence with Kimberly Snyder

In this episode of the Not Your Mother's Menopause Podcast, Dr. Fiona Lovely engages in a fascinating conversation with Paul Austin, a leading voice in the responsible use of psychedelics for personal and professional growth.  This discussion moves far beyond the stereotypes to explore how these powerful tools can serve as catalysts for profound change, especially for women navigating the complexities of midlife. Dr. Lovely and Paul delve into the foundational concept of microdosing, explaining what it is and how a structured protocol can gently enhance neuroplasticity, improve mood, and increase energy without any intoxicating effects.  Paul clarifies the distinct characteristics of different psychedelics, like psilocybin and LSD, and offers practical, sage advice on how to begin this journey safely and intentionally. The conversation also touches on the critical importance of "set and setting," the essential role of skilled facilitation, and how these substances can help to soften the rigid patterns of thinking that often hold us back.  If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or curious about alternative paths to mental and emotional wellness, this episode offers a fresh, educational, and hopeful perspective on a topic that is rapidly evolving in our modern world.

Absolutely no one warned us that midlife would be this loud—hot flashes, achy joints, bone density, belly fat, all competing for attention at once. And yet the message women still get is, “This is just how it is.”In this episode, I'm joined by orthopedic sports surgeon and longevity visionary Dr. Vonda Wright, author of Unbreakable: A Woman's Guide to Aging with Power.

The holiday season has a way of turning capable, health-conscious women into overextended versions of themselves. Between travel, parties, family expectations, and endless to-do lists, it feels like you either have to be perfect or give up completely. In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, Elizabeth Sherman shows you a third option—the Bare Minimum Holiday Plan. She explains how defining your personal "minimums" for movement, food, rest, and emotional care can help you stay consistent without adding pressure or guilt. If you've ever started December with great intentions and ended up saying, "Forget it, I'll start again in January," this conversation will change how you approach the season. You'll learn to find a rhythm that keeps you grounded and proud—no perfection required. This is Episode 3 in the 4-part Holiday Health Series, designed to help midlife women feel strong, calm, and in control from Thanksgiving through the New Year.     The Biggest Problem Midlife Women Face Regarding Holiday Health Most midlife women approach the holidays with an all-or-nothing mindset. They push themselves to maintain every routine, every tradition, and every expectation—until one missed workout or extra cookie becomes the signal to abandon it all. This perfection-then-collapse cycle fuels exhaustion, weight gain, inflammation, and guilt that lasts well into January. What's really happening isn't lack of willpower—it's lack of boundaries and realistic planning. Midlife bodies and nervous systems need recovery and rhythm, not rigid rules. Without clear "bare minimums," women default to overdoing or giving up, never finding the steady middle ground where real health lives.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How to identify your non-negotiable habits that keep you feeling good—without overcomplicating them Why setting bare minimums actually improves consistency and self-trust How to avoid the all-or-nothing spiral when life, travel, or family chaos hits The surprising link between doing less and sustaining energy, metabolism, and mood How to use the Feel Good Holiday  Playbook to stay grounded all season long     What You Can Do Right Now Grab a notebook and make four quick lists: movement, food, sleep, and emotional care. For each, write down the bare minimum that helps you feel like yourself. Maybe it's a 15-minute walk, one vegetable per meal, a 10 p.m. bedtime, or five minutes alone in the car before you go inside. These minimums become your anchor. When the calendar fills up or travel throws you off, come back to these simple actions instead of giving up. If you want extra guidance, structure, and reminders, the Feel Good Holiday Playbook walks you through creating and keeping these habits with quick videos, worksheets, and email support.     The Listener Takeaway: Why This Episode Matters You don't need a perfect plan to feel good this holiday season—you need a doable one. By defining your bare minimums, you replace guilt and chaos with clarity and calm. You'll stop starting over every Monday (or every January) and finish the season feeling proud, rested, and connected to your body. Because health isn't built in grand gestures. It's built in the small, steady choices you keep—especially when life gets messy.     RESOURCES Feel Good Holiday Playbook Episode 2 — Food & Body Triggers Episode 2 — The Invisible Load and Boundary Setting Episode 4 — Dismantling the Martyr Myth   Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/HHS-3

Fatigue in midlife isn't just about needing more sleep — it's often a sign that something deeper is out of balance. In this episode, Tara shares her clinical approach to fatigue, including how hormones, minerals, iron status, thyroid function, inflammation, gut health, and stress all impact your energy. She explains why basic labs don't always tell the full story and what to look for when fatigue doesn't improve with rest or supplements alone. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of why you feel tired and what steps actually move the needle — plus how personalized testing and guidance can help you get your energy back for good.   Here's what you'll discover in this episode: 1. Why "just getting older" isn't a reason to accept low energy Tara Thorne shares her refreshing perspective on why we shouldn't expect our bodies to bounce back like they did in our twenties, and how you can actually regain your spark at any age. 2. The importance of digging into your blood work Learn what labs to ask for (and why most doctors miss critical markers)—including a full-thyroid panel, specific immune markers, iron panels, and even markers for viral and bacterial infections. 3. How mineral imbalances could be sabotaging your energy Tara Thorne walks through the magic of HTMA tests and why simply popping magnesium or iron might not help (and could even make things worse!). 4. The gut-fatigue connection Surprise! You might not have GI symptoms and still have serious gut-driven exhaustion. Tara Thorne unpacks how gut health, inflammation, and "leaky gut" can zap your vitality. 5.

You don't need to blow up your life. But you do need to stop waiting to live it.In this deeply reflective solo episode, Laurie is back in the studio (fresh off a trip to Paris and a new haircut) with a wake-up call for midlife women everywhere: if you're not careful, you'll find yourself living the same year over and over again—and call it a life.From the blur of daily routines to the invisible waitlist we put our dreams on, this episode unpacks why high-achieving women often postpone their own fulfillment—and what it actually takes to start living with more intention, starting now.

So many midlife women describe themselves as stressed, but what if what we're calling “stress” is actually something deeper happening inside the body? In this powerful conversation, Heather sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, physician, speaker, and author of The Biology of Trauma, to unpack the difference between everyday stress and stored trauma that shows up as overwhelm, exhaustion, irritability, or feeling “stuck.” Together, they explore why midlife is often the moment unresolved patterns surface, how the nervous system drives our physical and emotional responses, and why pushing harder, at work, at home, or even in the gym, can actually reinforce a survival state. Dr. Aimie shares how to know the difference of recognizing tools for healing rather than triggers for dysregulation, and she offers the first steps to reset your system, build true resilience, and reconnect with the energy and clarity you've been missing. If you've been living in go-mode for so long it feels normal, this episode will help you understand your body, reclaim your power, and finally begin your reset.

Midlife shouldn't feel like your body is betraying you — but the hormone chaos of your late 30s, 40s, and 50s can absolutely make it feel that way. In this powerhouse conversation with Dr. Sarah (board-certified in Emergency Medicine + Integrative Medicine), we break down the REAL science behind hormone replacement therapy. If you've ever been dismissed by a provider… told you “don't need hormones”… or felt too scared to see what your treatment options are — this episode is your reminder: you get to make informed choices about your body. Not your doctor. Not TikTok. YOU. We walk through real risks, real benefits, and the massive quality-of-life improvements women see when they actually get evidence-based care. Consider this your crash course in navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the messy in-between years with confidence and clarity.To connect with Dr. Sarah :

Stillness, midlife anxiety, Christian mindset, healing, surrender, and purpose—this episode dives into stillness as the first daily shift to heal your mindset. Stillness is the doorway to hearing your calling, calming anxiety, and reconnecting with God when life feels loud and out of control.In this solo episode, host and author Lesa Koski shares how stillness became the unexpected beginning of her healing journey after a breast cancer diagnosis. She walks you through her come-to-Jesus moment in Arizona, the shock of hearing “you have cancer,” and the deep, surprising peace she found on the morning of her surgery.You'll learn why stillness is not passive or weak, but a powerful spiritual and emotional reset that breaks the cycle of overthinking, people-pleasing, and white-knuckling your way through life. Lesa offers real-life tools to help you practice stillness when your mind is spinning—whether you're facing cancer, divorce, health fears, or simply the quiet ache of a life that feels “too much.”If you're a woman over 40 or 50 feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burned out, this conversation will show you how stillness can become your first daily shift toward peace, purpose, and a more joyful, God-led life. Stillness doesn't remove the hard things, but it changes how you move through them.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction to stillness as the first daily shift(02:05) Living in lifelong anxiety, fear, and fight-or-flight(04:12) The Arizona come-to-Jesus moment and praying for healing(07:03) The mammogram callback and terrifying biopsy experience(09:45) Hearing “you have breast cancer” and being forced to stop(12:18) Letting go of control and surrendering outcomes to God(14:40) Crying on hay bales, walking in the woods, and praying through fear(17:02) The morning of surgery, malignant hyperthermia, and supernatural peace(19:30) Why stillness is the foundation of healing and mindset work(21:08) Practical tools to access stillness when your mind is spinning(23:05) Using the feelings wheel and Scripture to name and process emotions(24:15) How to get Lesa's ebook, newsletter, and next steps for your healing journeyKey Takeaways:Stillness is the first daily shift that opens the door to hearing your calling and healing your mindset.A crisis (like cancer, divorce, or a child in trouble) can force you into stillness—and that stillness can become holy ground.You can't control outcomes, but you can control how you move through hard seasons by surrendering to God.Stillness isn't about doing nothing; it's about feeling your feelings, noticing God's presence, and interrupting anxiety's momentum.Simple practices—walking, crying in a safe place, grounding in your body, and using a feelings wheel—can help you access stillness even in the middle of chaos.Guest Bio:Lesa Koski is an attorney/mediator, podcast host, breast cancer survivor, and author of 5 Daily Shifts to Hear Your Calling and Heal Your Mindset. She helps women over 40 and 50 move from anxiety and overwhelm into peace, purpose, and God-led confidence by teaching practical, faith-centered mindset tools and daily shifts that support midlife reinvention.Resource Links:

Gerontologist Michael Pessman discusses his article, "Why what you do in midlife matters most." Michael explains why the ages of 45-55 are a critical window and final opportunity to build healthy habits that profoundly impact future aging. He highlights new research on "super-agers" and the power of strength training (reducing early death risk by up to 20 percent), the importance of community, and the proven benefits of a Mediterranean diet. Michael also explores the crucial role of a positive mindset toward aging and the concept of "gerodiversity," reminding us that aging well is not a one-size-fits-all journey.

If you've been feeling anxious, moody, or emotionally "off" lately, you are not alone. Midlife can bring sudden waves of anxiety, sleepless nights, irritability, and even sadness — all of which can leave you wondering what happened to your old self. But here's the truth: your body isn't betraying you — it's speaking to you. In this heartfelt episode of Tea & Truth, Lynne dives into the emotional and biological changes that fuel midlife anxiety and mood swings — and how you can find calm again, naturally. She explains how shifting hormones, stress, and blood-sugar imbalances affect your mood, and shares holistic, science-backed solutions that really work: nourishing foods, stress-management rituals, gentle movement, and powerful mindset shifts. You'll hear personal stories, client transformations, and real-life examples that remind you — midlife isn't the end of balance, it's the beginning of deeper peace and wisdom. ✨ Key takeaways: How hormone shifts trigger anxiety and irritability — and how to rebalance them naturally What your gut health and blood sugar have to do with mood Natural tools and calming rituals that restore your inner peace Why compassion, rest, and boundaries are non-negotiable for emotional balance

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything you're supposed to do… and yet your belly fat just will not budge? Friend, you're not imagining it — midlife changes the rules. And most women are unknowingly doing a few things that actually make fat loss harder. In this episode, I'm walking you through three common midlife mistakes I see often. These are things women do with the best intentions — more walking, skipping breakfast, avoiding weights — but they end up slowing metabolism and increasing belly fat. And no one is telling women this. We'll talk about what Zone 2 cardio is (and why it's not the magic we've been sold), why skipping strength training is one of the most damaging things you can do in menopause, and how something as simple as a solid protein-rich breakfast can completely shift your hunger, energy, and hormone balance. If you've been feeling frustrated or confused, this episode will feel like a big exhale — finally, clarity.   Only a few days left!

Drop us a line or two . . .In this raw, hilarious, and brutally honest episode, Queenie & TT tackle the emotional whiplash of midlife caregiving, the chaos of aging parents, and the rage-inducing reality that patience doesn't age like fine wine.Queenie shares what it's really like managing her mom's late-night panic calls, behavioral struggles at her adult day program, and the impossible task of correcting someone who no longer processes feedback the same way. The conversation dives into compassion fatigue, caregiver burnout, role reversal, guilt, and the dark humor that becomes a survival skill when you're the default adult in the room.Then the episode swerves—hard—into:A viral therapist list on “Are you married to a boy or a man?”The federal government's attempt to quietly ban hemp-derived THC productsThe infamous Michigan cannabis recall after pre-rolled joints were licked during productionAnd a flawlessly unhinged game segment that proves real life is stranger than satireFinally, the women add a crowd-sourced nuclear entry to the Midlife Fuck-It List:Retiring from obligatory blowjobs.No guilt.

In midlife, I see TONS of women who are “doing all the right things”—eating clean, exercising harder, even restricting more—yet still are seeing the scale creep up. That's why I've invited Sarah Kennedy on the podcast, who's the founder and CEO of Calocurb– a natural, non-prescription hunger control treatment option.  We're unpacking why hunger can feel louder and more relentless than ever for women in midlife. Sarah breaks down how shifting hormones, chronic stress, poor sleep, and dwindling bandwidth all fuel food noise, cravings, and that constant tug-of-war with your appetite.  You'll learn why willpower is not the problem—and why your biology deserves more compassion… not more restriction.  Most importantly, Sarah shares practical, science-backed ways to calm midlife cravings and support your changing metabolism with more ease. Tune in here and finally make a change that shows you results!  Sarah Kennedy Sarah Kennedy is the founder and CEO of Calocurb, a revolutionary weight-management product based in New Zealand. Calocurb now sells in five international markets and continues to grow rapidly. Sarah, formerly with Fonterra, held senior roles including Vice President International Farming in China and Managing Director of Dairy Nutrition and RD1 retail stores. Prior to joining Fonterra, she spent over 20 years in dietary and animal nutrition. A veterinarian by training, Sarah completed the Sloan Fellowship in Global Leadership and Innovation at MIT. IN THIS EPISODE How Calocurb can help curb your hunger, especially in midlife The physiology behind midlife hunger changes  How Calocurb works and why it's different than synthetic GLP-1s  The benefits of taking Calocurb in midlife  Taking Calocurb safely alongside HRT and other supplements   Dose timing and the best way to take Calocurb for results  Fitting Calocurb into a broader wellness routine for women  Get started with Calocurb with a 10% discount!  QUOTES “When you reduce your calories by 25%, your hunger actually doubles over four months. So the brain is telling you to go out and look for food, and your body thinks you are going into a famine. So it's upping and upping and upping… this is why 99% of diets fail.” “I've been on it 6-7 years now. I don't take it twice a day, only take it once. But I can honestly say to you, I'm at peace with food… I think many, many people will find that.” “This has been revolutionary in the fact that we now understand what is happening in our body and what is driving this hunger and craving.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Calocurb: USE CODE DRMARIZA for 10% off your purchase! https://www.calocurb.com/drmarizasnyder Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ order https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101585564-17091761 Calcurb on Facebook Calocurb on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  #621: The Truth About Metabolic Health, Hormones and GLP-1s with Tyna Moore #558: The Science Behind Ozempic and Important Facts About GLP-1 Agonists + Hormone Replacement For Women 40+ with Dr. Tyna Moore #613: Effective Tools for Curbing Your Appetite in Midlife and Optimizing Your Blood Sugar with Nagina Sethi Abdullah #601: The Food You Eat Will Impact Your Menopause Journey + Foods to Ease Menopause and Promote Longevity with Dr. Federica Amati 696: Why Diets Stop Working in Midlife—and What Actually Helps Instead with Lara Frendjian

In today's episode, I sit down with my dear friend Julie Bloom - She's a coach, mental health trainer, multilingual communicator, and survivor of childhood abuse, and severe workplace trauma.  Julie shares her remarkable story of navigating PTSD, burnout, trauma, addiction, and a complete midlife unraveling… and how she rebuilt her identity through emotional regulation, nonviolent communication, and deep personal healing. Together we explore: ✨ Why emotional regulation is the foundation of all healing ✨ What actually happens in the brain during triggers ✨ How to respond instead of react ✨ The surprising power of compassionate communication ✨ The connection between trauma, addiction, and high achievement ✨ How sobriety opened the door for Julie's personal transformation ✨ Tools like the RAIN method, journaling, two-way prayer, adaptive thinking, and more If you've ever felt overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in old patterns, or unsure how to communicate your needs… this episode will give you hope and real strategies you can use today. Before we jump in, I want to wish all who are celebrating a Happy Thanksgiving! This episode will be released on a day where many of us spend the day with family, for better or worse. For those who find Thanksgiving to be a challenging day, whether it's due to being around people who push your buttons, or the loneliness that comes from distance or estrangement, I wanted to offer some practical advice on getting through the day sober - both physically and emotionally.  First, start your day with self-care for your body, mind and spirit. Even if you can only spend 30 minutes in the morning doing it, the return will be well worth the investment. Think of it like this, if you have to travel a long distance, you'd put gas in your car first so that you could go the distance. Same thing with challenging or high emotion days. Be sure to fill your tank with inspirational literature, or content before venturing out. Also, be sure to boost your positive feel good neurotransmitters like oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins. Go for a walk, do some yoga, or get a workout in too. The physical exercise will burn off anxious energy, and help you to respond instead of react in stressful moments. Lastly, have an exit strategy. Give yourself permission to make an excuse to leave whenever you need to. Remember, your sobriety and your feelings take priority over someone else's expectations.  And who knows, if you run the experiment, maybe you'll have a completely different experience of the holidays!  If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend. So that's it from me today. Please enjoy this episode, and let me know what you think! Find Julie on Instagram at @juliebloomworld

Description: In this special Road Tripping episode, Jen invites her partner, actor/activist/author Tyler Merritt, to join her live after a last-minute schedule pivot. What unfolds is a night of honesty, hilarity, vulnerability, and deep connection. Jen reads two scenes from Awake—one from the earliest days of shock and grief, and one from the chaotic, hilarious adventure of dating again at midlife. She shares the moment her body finally allowed her to grieve, the unexpected relief that followed, and how storytelling helped rebuild her life from the inside out. Tyler joins her onstage and opens up about his own journey: discovering creativity as a kid in a sports household, what midlife has taught him, how his rare cancer diagnosis reshaped his priorities, and how their love story began on a night in New York City neither saw coming. He and Jen talk candidly about walking through illness together, finding joy even in hard seasons, and why Awake speaks to all genders—not just women. This episode is tender, funny, surprising, and deeply human—a reminder that grief can crack us open in ways that eventually let the light back in. ★ “My body bypassed my mind and gave itself the gift of grief.” — Jen Hatmaker (reading from Awake) ★ “If creativity is in you, you can't get rid of it. It will find its way out.” — Tyler Merritt (on discovering his storytelling voice) ★ “Middle age shortens your alphabet — you just have fewer Fs to give.” — Tyler Merritt (describing midlife clarity) ★ “You don't just get my story of cancer — you get yours, because you chose to love me.” — Tyler Merritt (on his cancer journey and their relationship) ★ “Some of the hardest things you've ever been through?

I am excited to reconnect with Dr. Tom Dayspring today. He joined me before for an extremely popular seven-part podcast series where we tackled topics related to lipids and the physiological shifts that occur as we transition from perimenopause into menopause. Dr. Dayspring graciously agreed to return today for an Ask Me Anything episode, where we explore how lipids change as we navigate the perimenopause-to-menopause transition and discuss the significance of bioindividuality, inflammation, vascular health, and endothelial function in the context of changing estrogen levels. Dr. Dayspring also clarifies how visceral fat affects lipid levels, and we discuss testing for cardiovascular disease, the relevance of particle size, LPIR scores, and physical markers of insulin resistance.  Stay tuned for today's valuable and fascinating conversation. I will share the second AMA with Dr. Dayspring later this fall. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How estrogen loss impacts lipid metabolism in midlife Shifts in vascular health that occur during the menopause transition What makes endothelial function central to long-term health? Why triglycerides matter more than you think How variations in LDL particle size influence cardiovascular risk What standard cholesterol tests could miss about your cardiovascular health How inflammation can alter your lipid profile How your genes and lifestyle shape your lipid profile Markers women need to track over and above standard cholesterol tests How menopause reshapes women's cardiovascular risk profile Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Connect with Dr. Thomas Dayspring On X (@DrLipid) On LinkedIn
