Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women nationwide, yet during midlife—the crucial time for prevention—many women fall out of regular medical care.Host Dr. Rachel Pope is joined by Dr. Lisa Larkin, an internal medicine and women's health expert and founder of Ms. Medicine. They discuss why women's cardiovascular risk spikes around menopause and what you can do about it now.The Midlife Risk SpikeDr. Larkin highlights a failure in the healthcare system: women aged 40 to 60 often receive the least medical care, right when prevention is most critical.The perimenopausal transition causes rapid and significant metabolic changes: Cholesterol rises and HDL protection declines. Development of insulin resistance. Increase in visceral fat (the "risky fat" around organs), which is a marker for cardiovascular disease.Standard risk tools often underestimate risk in women because they don't account for sex-specific factors like adverse pregnancy outcomes (preeclampsia, gestational diabetes). Women are also often allowed to run higher blood pressures, missing opportunities for early intervention.Management & The "Missed Boat" QuestionDr. Larkin stresses that Body Composition is more important than BMI, as most women gain risky visceral fat during this time. She recommends tracking body composition annually.For women in their mid-60s who ask if they've missed the boat on prevention or Hormone Therapy (HT): Assessment is Key: Dr. Larkin performs a highly individualized assessment, often utilizing a Coronary Calcium Score to check for established plaque. If Risk is Low: A patient with perfect health metrics and a Calcium Score of zero may still be a candidate for HT to treat symptoms and support bone health. If Risk is High: The priority is to aggressively fix every single risk factor (hypertension, elevated lipids) before considering hormones, as established plaque may carry more risk with estrogen.Dr. Larkin emphasizes that women must be their best advocates because the healthcare system is currently failing to provide the comprehensive care needed during this pivotal stage of life.

I used to think freedom came from more — more closings, more volume, more wins on paper. But what if freedom isn't the reward for working harder... it's the result of building smarter? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I went from being “busy and burnt out” to building a business that actually buys back my time.I'll walk you through the three core levers that every entrepreneur and real estate agent needs to design a business that serves your life — not the other way around.

If you've been waiting for the “right time” — to launch your business, to hire that coach, to finally make your next big move — I've got news for you: you'll never feel ready. Because ready isn't a feeling… it's a decision.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to build momentum when fear, doubt, and perfectionism try to hold you back. I share how every big leap in my career — from starting my first business at 19 to launching my coaching company, Play Bigger — happened before I felt ready. And I'll show you exactly how to build confidence through movement, not perfection.If you've been waiting for a sign — this episode is it.✨ Things I Cover:Why “readiness” is a myth and how to move even when you're scaredThe 3 truths every entrepreneur, leader, and dreamer needs to know about readinessHow fear and growth actually coexist (and why that's a good thing)How movement creates momentum — and why overplanning keeps you stuckThe simple reflection questions to help you take bold, imperfect action today

We inherit shame like an unspoken family heirloom — stitched into our bodies, our ambition, our idea of enough. It's the quiet undertone behind so many brilliant women asking, “Why do I still feel like I'm not enough?”In this conversation, Jennifer Walter sits down with therapist and facilitator Kyira Wackett to unpack the hidden ways shame shapes our lives — from body image and burnout to perfectionism and belonging. Together, they explore how shame isn't just a feeling — it's a learned survival strategy. One we can unlearn.You'll hear about the difference between “good” and “bad” pain, why setting boundaries feels so hard, and how to start building shame resilience without burning yourself out.This episode is part psychology, part real talk — a compassionate deep dive into the quiet stories that keep women performing, proving, and people-pleasing.If you're tired of hustling for worth, this one's your permission slip to rest, reflect, and begin again.

Have you ever found yourself pulling back when things feel uncertain — thinking, “Maybe I should wait until things pick up”? In this episode, I'm diving into a truth that every entrepreneur needs to hear: playing small doesn't protect you — it costs you. It costs you opportunities, clarity, and the momentum that actually moves your business forward.If this year has felt slower, harder, or like your confidence has dipped, this one's for you. I'll show you why this exact season might be your most powerful setup yet — and how betting on yourself is the smartest investment you can make.✨ Things I Cover:The real cost of inaction versus the return on investing in yourselfFour key areas of ROI when you lean in: Perspective, Systems, Community, and SpeedWhy waiting for “someday” might be the most expensive decision in your businessHow top producers stay ahead — even in uncertain marketsThe mindset shift that turns slow seasons into seasons of setup

If you're a tall girly reading this right now, I want you to tell me if this has ever happened to you. You're at a bar, or if you're under 21 in the U.S., you're somewhere other than the bar, and a random stranger comes up to you and asks you how tall you are. Nothing new, of course; it happens from time to time. You're feeling good vibes today, so you answer the question. Just as an example, you say that you're 6'2” because you are.  And then the stranger says, “You can't be 6'2” because I'm 6'2” and I'm looking up at you.” And no, you're not wearing heels, by the way. Or you are and proceed to take them off to show your actual height (spoiler: you're still taller).Either way, you're like no, I AM 6'2”, but whatever. Then, the stranger quite literally starts arguing with you about how you're wrong and you're the one lying and bla bla bla. And you're just like chill, we literally don't even know each other; it's not that deep babes. There are many tall women who have experienced something like this, and I'm sure they all question why it's THAT serious. Well, we're hopefully gonna get to the bottom of this in today's episode, so make sure you tune in! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews

You can hire the best coach, join the most elite mastermind, and sit in every single training out there — but if you don't know how to get the most out of it, you'll miss the transformation that was meant for you. In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm diving deep into what truly makes a coaching relationship powerful.I'll share how my first high-level coaching investment completely shifted my mindset (spoiler: it wasn't because of a “secret formula”) — and the three phases that determine whether you'll see real results or stay stuck in the same cycle.If you've ever wondered why some people seem to grow so much faster — this episode will reveal the real difference between those who succeed and those who don't.Things I Cover:

Have you ever found yourself saying, “This used to light me up… so why does it feel so heavy now?” Yeah, I've been there too. In this episode, I'm getting real about something every entrepreneur eventually faces — misalignment.After two decades in business, I've learned the hard way that you can't outwork misalignment. No matter how hard you grind, when what you're building no longer matches who you're becoming, the result is burnout, frustration, and loss of peace.In this episode, I share: ✨ 3 signs you're out of alignment (even when everything looks “successful”) ✨ How to tell the difference between growth and friction ✨ 3 principles to help you pivot with clarity and rebuild from purpose, not pressure ✨ Why your next level isn't about doing more — it's about doing what's right for youIf you've been forcing what used to flow, or chasing goals that no longer fit the woman or leader you're becoming, this episode will help you hit pause, reflect, and realign. Because true scale doesn't come from adding more — it comes from letting go.

The tall girlies have come a long way with the fashion and clothing struggles. Whether it''s not finding clothing items that are long enough or having to settle for weirdly fitting men's clothing, we've been through A LOT. But now we have so many options. Bigger retailers are now including tall sizing for some of their pieces and various small tall brands are popping up left and right. Hearing this, you'd think everything is all dandy, right?WRONG. Well, kinda. We have tall clothing, but according to some tall women, there seems to be something lacking. Like taste…or style. Oh dear, that sounds a bit harsh. In today's episode, we're gonna determine whether or not tall-friendly women's clothing is ugly and explore the reasons why some tall women believe that they actually are kinda ugly.

As a young person, I really struggled with insecurities. I second guessed myself for everything. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self how much value that God saw in me instead of looking for validation from everyone else or in all the ways I could push myself to be better in order to prove my worth.There were many lies I believed even of God and His Word that were also not true.I hope this lesson encourages you to dig deeper into who God says you are and your worth in Him. There are passages I meditate on constantly! Ephesians 1, Psalm 139, and Romans 8  are chapters I listen to often that help me have the right mind set.Listen to this episode as Jackie discusses lies women believe and shares how this affected her in her relationship with Jesus.Support the showConnect with the ladies of Her Portion, HERE!

See if there's anything familiar perhaps in YOUR story. **Per usual, MBK's life stories can trigger all kinds of painful experiences for others. This episode is no different— please exercise tender caution for listening to the topics of sensitive nature discussed in this episode. Important Disclaimer: As you know, we rarely endorse men and the things they do. In this episode, we highly recommend a book written by a man, as it was an impactful resource in MBK‘s journey.

If you've ever felt like you're “behind,” I want you to hear me: you're not behind — you're being refined.This year has tested me in ways I never expected — balancing my mom's health, sending my son off to college, and holding space for clients and communities while trying to hold myself together.

As The Make a Difference Series comes to a close, we're taking time to reflect on the incredible women whose stories have inspired all of us to lead with purpose and serve with heart. This episode is a celebration of how faith, courage, and authenticity can create ripple effects of change that touch countless lives.We revisit some of our favorite moments from the series — including Noelle Schnacky, Miss Florida's Teen 2025, whose Hope for Heart Kids Foundation was born out of love and loss, supporting families impacted by congenital heart defects.

What if the way you're operating right now — the systems, the habits, even your mindset — is the very thing holding you back from your next level? In this episode, I'm inviting you to pause before you start planning for 2026 and take a hard, honest look at how you're finishing this year.

In this episode of The Raquel Show, I'm diving into one of the questions I get asked most often: “What's the best way to build a real estate business?” My honest answer? There isn't just one. The truth is, the best model is the one that matches your lifestyle, your vision, and your energy.Too many entrepreneurs get caught up chasing the “right way” or comparing themselves to others—when in reality, the beauty of real estate is that you get to design your business your way. In this conversation, I'm breaking down the most common models—from mega teams to solo CEO agents—and showing you the pros, cons, and the clarity questions you need to ask before you commit.I'll also walk you through:Why clarity is the first step before scalingThe 4 most common real estate business models (and how to know which fits you best)Tactical steps to reverse engineer your business from your lifestyleHow profit-first thinking, systems, and hiring decisions shape long-term successThe CEO shift every agent must make to create a business that truly works for them

Sometimes, the real breakthrough isn't in doing more of what you're good at — it's in finally turning toward the skill you've been quietly avoiding. In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story that sparked the idea: you are only as strong as your weakest skill. For so many high-achieving women, the gap that's holding us back isn't obvious. It's usually the skill we avoid, the one hiding in plain sight. Once you identify it and give it the attention it deserves, your results can change fast.   Resources: Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/183 Save your seat for my Free Live Training: 10 lbs DOWN. 10 hrs BACK: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/training Learn more about The Unstoppable Group: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/group

What does grief really feel like? The moments that break you, the ones that blur together, and the in-betweens no one talks about. In this episode, Jule Kim, coach and writer, shares her honest experience after the sudden loss of her brother. This is a deeply human conversation about what happens when life stops without warning, and how we keep going through the waves of sorrow and loss that follow. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 What Grief Really Feels Like (dealing with grief) 09:35 The First Two Weeks: Waves, body shock, and why you need people 15:27 When Others Pull Away: What to say and do when you don't know how to help  29:53 Doing right by them  54:03 Remembering in Practice We talk about the quiet moments no one prepares you for—the way grief sits in the body, how family dynamics shift, and what real support can look like when words just aren't enough. When Words Fail: What to say (and what not to say) when someone you love is grieving. The Aftershocks: Why grief doesn't end when everyone else moves on—and how to stay connected to what still matters. Being There: Gentle, grounded ways to show up when you don't know how to help. No one really tells you how to deal with grief, it's an experience we all move through uniquely. This can be a tough, triggering conversation for some but it's one that's meant to feel like support for those struggling and guidance for those not sure how to be there for those dealing with loss. You don't need to be “ready” for this conversation—just open to hearing about what dealing with grief feels like and how we individually heal.

Have you ever told yourself you're “burnt out,” but deep down, you're not sure if that's the real issue? In this episode of The Raquel Show, I open up about one of the biggest traps entrepreneurs, agents, and leaders fall into: mistaking being uninspired for actual burnout.I've been there—hitting the goals, closing the deals, and yet still feeling flat and wondering, is this it? And what I've learned is this: when we confuse uninspired with burnout, we start making the wrong moves. We step away from opportunities, think something is “wrong” with us, or even consider burning our business to the ground… when really, what we need is a spark.

Send us a textClick here for ResourcesHave you ever found yourself caught in an endless loop of replaying conversations, wondering if you said the right thing or how others perceived you? You're not alone. Overanalyzing isn't just an annoying habit. It is rooted in our evolutionary biology and neurological wiring.When we replay social interactions, our brains are actually seeking validation and safety. MRI studies show that rejection activates the same regions of the brain as physical pain, while approval triggers dopamine, creating a temporary high that keeps us stuck in the cycle. From childhood, many of us, especially women, were conditioned to equate fitting in with safety. Be good. Follow the rules. Don't stand out. Over time, our nervous systems learned to chase approval instead of trusting our own compass.The cost is enormous. Overthinking drains our energy and keeps us stuck in the past or anxious about the future. Our real power is only available in the present moment. Research shows that successful people share one key trait: they care less about others' opinions and act boldly from their inner vision.In this episode of my self help podcast for women and growth minded listeners, I, Dr. Amen Kaur, share a simple three step framework to break free. First, catch yourself in the overthinking loop. Second, regulate your nervous system through breath and presence. Third, take one small action that affirms who you are in this moment.I also share my mantra “So Be It,” which helps you embody the version of yourself who takes action. Clarity doesn't come from thinking more. It comes from being who you truly are.Whether you are navigating overthinking, seeking personal growth, or building the confidence to follow your dreams, this episode will give you the tools to move forward.If you are ready to step into who you want to be, book a free consultation with me, Dr. Amen Kaur, and discover how to embody your vision and release the old conditioning that is keeping you stuck. The power is within you. So be it.Support the show
