And as you see that signal, the goal is [to] go refuel. Let me use this opportunity to go refuel. Perimenopause is the time to start getting some things in place to refuel: changing your diet, incorporating more protein, but also fiber. Looking at what you may be depleted in to refuel.”  “I want to really change that narrative of what we do for our health, how we think of ourselves in health, and start those conversations earlier.”  “I think resilience is key. But many times we have to practice it. We have to be expanded to come back, and if we don't allow for that growth, then we are not resilient. And we know that mentally and emotionally and physically, the body is built to be resilient, but we have to teach it that as well.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Dr. Shepherd's Book on Amazon HERE ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Living-Well-Perimenopause-Menopause/dp/1454954892⁠ Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Dr. Jessica Shepherd's Website Dr. Jessica Shepherd on Instagram Modern Meno on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  704: Hormone Intelligence for Women in Midlife: How to Thrive Through Perimenopause with Dr. Aviva Romm 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 689: The Hidden Brain Shift: Why Perimenopause Symptoms Start Earlier Than You Think 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause

In this episode, Robin shares how nervous system dysregulation impacts exercise tolerance, blood sugar balance, hormone health, and mental well-being, especially for women in midlife.

This conversation weaves science, psychology, and faith into a compassionate framework for sustainable strength, calm, and purpose, reminding us that wholeness begins when the body feels safe. Key Topics: - How Pilates rebuilds connection to the body instead of punishing it - The hidden nervous system cost of high-intensity, all-or-nothing workouts - Why consistency matters more than intensity for long-term health - Nervous system dysregulation, burnout, and midlife hormone shifts - How stress and over-exercise contribute to blood sugar dysregulation - Why protein, fat, and fiber stabilize both mood and energy - Nutrition “noise” to let go of (supplement overload, perfectionism) - Why the body can't heal if it doesn't feel safe - Redefining health beyond body size, aesthetics, and fitness culture - Self-compassion as a biological regulator, not just a mindset shift - Honoring your God-given purpose through sustainable care of your body Download Robin's Lindywell app to access her workouts, recipes, and mediations.

What if money isn't as "real" as we think it is? This week, Sarah talks to spiritual coach, tour leader, and money mindset mentor Halle Eavelyn about the deep, often hidden beliefs that shape women's relationships with wealth. From a life-changing awakening in Egypt to writing The Passive Income Power Plan, Halle shares how she helps women remember their power—and step fully into it. Here's something wild: women couldn't open their own bank accounts until 1974. Today, we still receive only 3% of venture capital funding. These aren't just statistics—they're symptoms of deep programming affecting how we approach money right now. Halle had a profound moment in the dining room of a Nile cruise ship during a guided meditation. She received a download that hit every cell of her body: "You have a soul and you will never die." That spiritual awakening sparked a 30-year exploration into consciousness, intuition, and how women can reclaim their birthright to wealth. If you've been wondering why you haven't been making more money, or if you've been feeling stuck around the idea that you deserve wealth - this conversation is for you. This is episode 312 of the Game On Girlfriend podcast. I'm Sarah Walton, and I help women entrepreneurs build businesses they love through authentic sales strategies and money mindset work.   What You'll Learn Halle's unshakable spiritual awakening in Egypt—and what happened at the Temple of Philae Why money is energetic (not just emotional) The "trauma inheritance" that affects women's wealth-building How women become their own gatekeepers around funding and wealth (and how to stop) Why money is just a story we tell ourselves—and how to rewrite that story What's coming economically and why women need to prepare now (financial tsunami by 2027) Simple ways to start rewriting your money story right now Practical steps to reclaim your financial power, including passive income strategies Why Sarah loved the idea of creating small wealth circles with friends How to follow your intuition breadcrumbs from awareness through action into results   Related Episodes You Might Love Ep 307: The Grace Codes: Leading with Feminine Power https://sarahwalton.com/grace-codes-feminine-leadership-women-entrepreneurs/ Ep 263: How Your Nervous System Shapes Your Money Habits https://sarahwalton.com/nervous-system-regulation/ Ep 227: How to Clear a Money Fog https://sarahwalton.com/clear-money-fog/   Connect with Halle Eavelyn https://hallewealth.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/eavelyn https://www.facebook.com/eavelyn/  https://www.instagram.com/halle.eavelyn/  https://youtube.com/@halleeavelyn    About Halle Eavelyn Featured in Time Magazine, USA Today, and Good Morning America, Halle is a Transformational Wealth Coach, speaker, and writer who helps women clear their old patterns and beliefs so they can call in the financial power that brings freedom.

What if the most powerful tool for emotional healing, trauma release, and spiritual awakening has been inside you since birth? This week on The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we sit down with Kurtis Lee Thomas, global corporate mindfulness trainer, founder of Breathwork Detox, #1 bestselling author, and the man NASA, Nike, and The Today Show call when their people are breaking down. Kurtis doesn't preach modern spirituality fluff. He delivers physiological, neurological, and emotional transformation through a deceptively simple modality: breathing. But not the casual inhale-exhale you do every day… We're talking about a deep diaphragmatic technique capable of:Releasing stored trauma and emotional blockagesTriggering profound energy healingOpening intuitive channelsRewiring the nervous systemSupporting spiritual growth and consciousness expansionCreating the clarity needed to step into your soul purposeIf that sounds impossible, wait until you hear the stories:✔ A five-year chronic illness completely resolved in one session✔ Instant clarity and breakthroughs in people who've felt stuck for decades✔ Engineers, veterans, and skeptics experiencing Kundalini-like activations✔ A mind-bending account of spontaneous physical healing that you'll need to hear to believe Breathwork Detox isn't just breathwork, it's a full-body energetic purge designed to clear the emotional “weight” you've been carrying your entire life. Whether you're navigating your own awakening, seeking deeper consciousness, exploring intuition development, or simply trying to stop your stress from running your life, this conversation will reset your understanding of what healing can look like.IN THIS EPISODE: • Why most people breathe incorrectly, and how it blocks emotional & energetic flow • How unprocessed experiences lodge in the body and manifest as anxiety, illness, and stuckness • The exact 3-part breathing sequence used in Breathwork Detox • The science behind clarity, flow state, and shutting down the overactive mind • How breathwork triggers profound spiritual awakening experiences, even in total skeptics • Why clarity (not bliss) is the real engine of manifestation • The four types of people who benefit the MOST from this practice • Why energy healing works even for people who don't “believe” in it • How breathwork can support emotional transitions, hormonal shifts, and the stress of modern lifeWHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS If you feel overwhelmed… foggy… disconnected… stuck in old patterns… or blocked from the spiritual growth you know is possible, then you're likely carrying far more emotional residue than you realize. You don't need a guru. You don't need a plant medicine ceremony. You don't need a near-death experience to wake up. You need to clear what's standing between you and the truth already inside you. And this modality gives you the key.ABOUT OUR GUEST — KURTIS LEE THOMASFounder of Breathwork DetoxCorporate mindfulness trainer for Nike, NASA, and Fortune 500 companies#1 international bestselling authorBoard Chair of the Just Breathe FoundationGlobal teacher helping thousands detox emotional blockages, trauma, and mental overwhelmCONNECT WITH KURTIS Website: BreathworkDetox.comFree masterclass, virtual sessions, facilitator training & more inside.Subscribe, Rate & Review!
