What's the Real Cost of That Evening Glass of Wine? A Sobriety Journey with Kate VitelaKate Vitela, a registered nurse, shares her powerful journey from physical alcohol dependence to over seven years of sobriety. Her story isn't defined by a dramatic rock-bottom moment but by a gradual awakening to how daily drinking eroded her sleep, career, and relationships. Now, Kate offers a hopeful perspective on recovery through neuroplasticity—the brain's incredible ability to rewire itself and form new neural pathways. “Our brains can reorganize,” she says. “We can completely transform as human beings.” This challenges the outdated notion that addiction is a lifelong disease requiring constant management.In this candid conversation, we dive into what that evening glass of wine means for midlife women. For many, it's more than a drink—it's a rebellious act of self-care, a boundary between meeting others' needs and claiming a moment for themselves. But Kate reveals the hidden costs: even one drink disrupts REM sleep, circadian rhythm, and hormones, far beyond just calories. Host, Michele Folan, shares a personal experiment, contrasting a sleep score of 62 after bourbon with 91-94 on alcohol-free nights.Kate doesn't judge moderation but offers a bold reframe: “Alcohol is ethanol—a poison. Moderation is just microdosing poison.” She argues that midlife is the perfect time to rethink your relationship with alcohol. With greater motivation and a clearer sense of what doesn't work, midlife women are uniquely positioned to embrace change.Whether you're sober-curious, exploring moderation, or questioning alcohol's role in your life, this episode invites you to uncover what drinking is truly costing you—and what freedom could look like. Through her work with women, Kate shows that true empowerment comes from self-care practices that nourish without requiring recovery.Listen now to discover how to reclaim your power, improve your sleep, and embrace a life free from alcohol's grip.You can find Kate Vitela at https://www.instagram.com/rewiredsober/Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rewired-sober/id1781739552 or wherever you listen_________________________________________

So you've tried to diet your way to control, but instead, you end up feeling more out of control than ever. Why is that? It's not just about willpower or “falling off track.” Dieting actually dysregulates your entire system — your hunger cues, your emotions, your hormones, even your nervous system. The very rules you're following are what cause you to swing back and forth on the pendulum: restrict, rebel, repeat. In episode 257 of Fitness & Sushi, we'll show you why dieting keeps you stuck in chaos, and how to finally break free by learning to stay regulated instead. In this episode — “How Dieting Dysregulates Your Body and Mind (And What to Do Instead)” — you'll learn…
We've made real progress in talking openly about menopause, women's health, and how to live longer, healthier lives. But there's still one topic too many women shy away from in midlife: money. For a lot of us, conversations about finances were considered impolite, unfeminine, or just not our responsibility. Add in the realities of divorce, career changes, caregiving, or years of putting everyone else first, and it's no wonder so many women hit midlife feeling financially unprepared or even ashamed. But what if shifting the way we think and talk about money could actually be the most empowering move we make? On this episode of Beauty is a Bitch, I'm joined by Amanda Barclay, Senior Financial Advisor and Senior Vice President with Merrill, A Bank of America Company. She's not only one of Forbes' “Top Women Wealth Advisors Best-in-State” in 2024 & 2025, but she's also deeply passionate about helping women take control of their financial futures. Together, we're digging into the money conversations we need to be having — with ourselves, our friends, our partners and even our kids. We'll explore questions like: How can we make finances a regular, unapologetic part of our midlife conversations? What steps should women take to prepare for the unexpected — whether it's divorce, illness or time away from the workforce? And what money mistakes do women make most often, and how can we avoid them? Amanda also shares her perspective on building confidence, narrowing the wealth gap, and why financial independence is about so much more than numbers. This episode is all about giving you the tools and mindset shifts to feel secure, confident, and powerful with your money.

This episode dives into one of the most overlooked areas of women's health: the connection between menopause and metabolic health.My guest and I unpack why so many women experience midlife weight gain, insulin resistance, and blood sugar changes—even when they've always lived a healthy lifestyle. Research shows that menopause itself increases the risk of higher fasting glucose, abdominal fat, and even diabetes.Joining me is Dr. Catherine Johnson, founder of My Precision Medical Care, a Board-Certified Obesity and Emergency Medicine physician with advanced training in menopause, functional medicine, and precision medicine. With 25+ years of experience, she helps women improve metabolic health, hormones, and longevity.We'll cover:What metabolic health really means in midlifeEarly red flags of insulin resistance in womenThe role of hormones (estrogen, thyroid, cortisol) in metabolismHow lifestyle, genetics, and menopause interactBest nutrition, sleep, and stress strategies for metabolic healthWhen to consider medical therapies like GLP-1s or metforminHow precision medicine and personalized care help women thriveIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still can't manage weight, energy, or blood sugar, this episode will give you clarity and actionable solutions.Medical Disclaimer:By listening to this podcast, you agree not to use this podcast as medical advice or to make any lifestyle changes to treat any medical condition in yourself or others.

“Pornography does not have to win. We serve a God of hope.”In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I sit down with author and speaker Jody Allen to discuss her new book Hidden Heartache: Finding Courage When Your Husband Struggles with Pornography. Jody vulnerably shares her journey of betrayal, healing, and ultimately discovering hope beyond heartbreak.Together, Dawn and Jody uncover the reality of pornography addiction in marriages, the shame it creates for both husbands and wives, and the spiritual and emotional toll it can take on a woman's identity, confidence, and self-worth. Jody offers practical tools such as using the Feelings Wheel, praying Scripture, setting healthy boundaries, and finding strength in worship to move from pain to healing.This conversation is a reminder that divorce is not a death sentence and that even when life doesn't turn out as you prayed, God's love and freedom remain available. Whether you're navigating betrayal trauma, longing for healing, or simply seeking encouragement in midlife, this episode will inspire you to walk in courage, release shame, and embrace a brave, empowered life.Quotations:“Divorce is not a death sentence. God loves divorced women, too.” - Jody Allen“When we walk out of pain with Jesus, we can take treasures with us — new perspectives, friendships, or even a fresh start.” - Jody Allen“If we hide and stay in the darkness, we remain bound. But when we step into the light, freedom begins.” - Dawn Damon“Sometimes the advice women need isn't just to pray more or be patient. Sometimes it's to draw a boundary and protect your peace.” - Dawn Damon“God doesn't author trauma, but He will use what we walk through to refine us and make us better.” - Dawn DamonResources:

Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
Join us on our FREE hormone education session at http://midlifeconversations.com/magic What if everything you've been told about hormone replacement therapy is only HALF the story? In this raw, personal episode, Natalie shares her own hormone replacement journey - from feeling amazing on HRT to discovering 30 fibroids and a dangerously thick uterine lining. She dives deep into why the pendulum has swung from hormone FEAR to hormone PRESSURE, leaving women confused and sometimes shamed for their choices. You'll discover why the infamous Women's Health Initiative study created decades of hormone fear, how your DNA actually determines whether hormones help or harm you, and why your detox pathways matter more than your blood test results. Featuring insights from Dr. Tyna Moore, Dr. Anna Cabecca, and Dr. Betty Murray, and personal stories from Dr. Amie and Jen Delvaux, we examine the various approaches and decisions women face regarding HRT, including the complex truth: there's no one-size-fits-all approach to HRT. Whether you're currently on HRT, considering it, or opting out, this episode aims to open up a thoughtful conversation about finding what's right for you. Because the truth about HRT really isn't black and white. Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

What if your body's subtle signals could reveal health issues months or even years before they appear on traditional medical tests? That's the power of bioenergetic testing, a science-based approach that's helping midlife women decode their body's whispers before they become screams.In this eye-opening conversation, mechanical engineer turned health detective Beth Milbrecht shares how she helps women who've been told their symptoms are "just aging" or "just stress" get to the root of what's really happening. With over 35 years of engineering experience, Beth brings a problem-solver's mindset to health challenges, using bioenergetic testing to identify imbalances in the body's energy system that conventional medicine often misses.You'll discover why that constipation you've been ignoring might actually be a crucial sign your lymphatic system is backed up, how homeopathy and Bach flower essences gently support both physical and emotional healing, and why expensive supplements might not be the answer to your health concerns. Beth explains how this work is grounded in traditional Chinese medicine and the electrical activity at acupuncture points—not woo-woo at all, but rather a sophisticated approach to working with your body's innate intelligence.For women struggling with burnout, Beth offers practical wisdom on setting boundaries around sleep, mindful eating, and incorporating non-sleep deep rest. She shares the remarkable transformation of a client whose joint pain and numbness improved within weeks, eventually leading to renewed energy for dance classes and even a career change. As Beth explains, "When you clear out the old, something new wants to emerge."Whether you're curious about energy medicine or simply tired of being dismissed by conventional healthcare, this conversation will expand your understanding of what's possible for midlife wellness.

She opens up about the power of understanding blood sugar balance, how spices like cinnamon can help reduce cravings and improve metabolism, and why focusing on adding nutritious foods works better than restriction.

"You can accomplish feeling like the best version of yourself no matter what age you are. It's very different than all the approaches we're hearing out there." - Nagina Abdullah Nagina Abdullah is a leading weight loss coach specializing in empowering women in midlife to achieve lasting health transformations. As the founder of the renowned website MasalaBody.com, she has personally coached over 1,500 women to successfully lose weight permanently by optimizing their metabolism. Utilizing her background in molecular and cell biology from UC Berkeley, Nagina combines scientific principles with practical lifestyle changes, including strategic use of metabolism-boosting foods and spices. Episode Summary: In this episode of "Oh, My Health... There Is Hope!" host Jana Short welcomes Nagina Abdullah, a prolific weight loss coach renowned for her expertise in helping midlife women achieve sustainable weight loss. Nagina discusses the science-backed strategies she uses to boost metabolism, address sugar cravings, and guide women toward a healthier lifestyle. She shares her personal journey of overcoming weight loss challenges and how she engineered a lifestyle shift for herself after experiencing menopause-induced weight gain. The conversation delves into actionable insights on dietary strategies that focus on increasing protein intake and understanding the role of metabolism-boosting foods. Nagina emphasizes that traditional dieting and calorie restriction can be counterproductive, especially during midlife. She offers practical advice on incorporating healthy foods and spices into daily meals. Nagina also introduces her upcoming five-day metabolism boost event as an opportunity for women to learn and transform their health journey, focusing on practical, sustainable changes that align with life's demands. Key Takeaways: Nagina Abdullah emphasizes the importance of boosting metabolism through the strategic addition of nutritious foods rather than restrictive dieting. Incorporating 30 grams of protein per meal is crucial to stabilizing blood sugar, reducing sugar cravings, and promoting sustainable weight loss in midlife. The transition into menopause requires a revised approach to dieting, focusing on metabolism and anti-inflammatory foods to counteract hormonal changes. Midlife dietary approaches should aim to maintain steady blood sugar levels, counteracting the body's tendency towards insulin resistance. Nagina Abdullah's five-day metabolism boost event will provide live teachings on sustainable weight loss strategies specifically tailored for women in midlife.

What if the thing you've been dreaming about doesn't fall apart…but actually works out?So often in midlife, we get stuck in a cycle of “what if it fails?” thinking. What if people judge me? What if I'm too old? What if I'm not ready?But here's the game-changing question I want you to hold close: What if it works out?In this solo episode of Reinvention Rebels, I'm exploring how shifting the question changes everything in your midlife reinvention journey.

The day my DEXA scan results revealed osteoporosis was a wake-up call I dreaded. No symptoms. No warning signs. Just a family history of poor bone health. The casual “take medication and see you in two years" was a no-go for me. Like so many women in midlife, I knew there had to be another way.In this episode, I share my personal journey of reversing bone loss and improving my DEXA scan results—without relying solely on pharmaceuticals. If you are being presented with an option of drug therapy, please have the conversation with your doctor about what steps are best based on the severity of your disease. From strength training with proper form and lifting heavier weights, to increasing protein to 110–120 grams daily, optimizing supplements like vitamin D3, K2, calcium, magnesium, and collagen, and making lifestyle shifts around alcohol, sleep, hormones, and daily sunshine—this holistic approach has transformed my health in many ways.You'll learn:Why osteoporosis is called the “silent disease” (and how to catch it early)The nutrition, supplements, and workouts that actually support bone densityHow lifestyle choices—sleep, stress, and hormones—affect bone remodelingThe real results from my follow-up DEXA scanIf you're a midlife woman worried about osteoporosis, fractures, or staying strong and independent as you age, this episode will give you practical strategies and hope.
