Do you have friends you can disappear from for months and return to without guilt, explanation, or effort? The ones who don't keep score, don't require performance, and still feel like home when you reconnect?In this episode, Leah Davidson explores how women's friendships change in midlife and why connection becomes not just important, but essential. Drawing from decades-long friendships, life transitions, and nervous system science, Leah unpacks why the friendship rules that worked in our twenties and thirties often stop working later on, and why that's not a failure, but a natural evolution.You'll learn how different seasons of life call for different kinds of friendships, why capacity matters more than consistency, and how safety, not frequency, is the foundation of lasting connection. This episode is a powerful reminder that women don't heal alone. We regulate together, remember ourselves together, and in midlife especially, we need each other.We'll explore:Midlife friendships operate by different rules than earlier seasons of lifeSafety, not frequency, is what allows friendships to last over timeCapacity changes across seasons, and that doesn't mean commitment is lackingLow-pressure friendships support nervous system regulation, not depletionSeasonal friendships can be deeply meaningful without needing to last foreverWomen are biologically wired to seek connection during stress, not isolationJoy and connection require intention in midlife, not waiting for life to slow downWomen heal, regulate, and remember who they are through safe relationshipsLINKS AND RESOURCES:COMMUNITYMIDLIFE NERVOUS SYSTEM REWIRE COMMUNITY

Women don't lack ambition.They don't lack skills.And they don't lack drive.So why do so many capable women — especially women from minority backgrounds — stall before reaching positions of power?In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead!, I'm joined by Alexandra Gantier, a French public relations, public affairs, and leadership advisor with more than 18 years of international experience across France and the United States. Alexandra is the co-founder of The Poderosas, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding leadership access for women from minority backgrounds through mentorship and sponsorship.Alexandra brings a deeply global perspective to leadership — shaped by her upbringing in France, her formative years in South America, and her professional journey in the U.S. She is currently completing a PhD at the Toulouse School of Management, where her research explores female leadership, representation in decision-making spaces, and how structural barriers shape access to power.Together, we unpack a powerful truth:Women don't need fixing — they need access.This conversation goes beyond confidence and skill-building to name the systemic and relational dynamics that determine who advances, who is sponsored, and who is invited into rooms where decisions are made.We also explore Alexandra's retreat work through Empowering Women Global Leaders, which creates space for women to pause, reset, and reconnect with their values — including retreats in Paris and the south of France.Why women aren't advancing — and why it's not a confidence problemThe difference between mentorship and sponsorship (and why both matter)Structural barriers that shape access to leadership and powerNavigating politics, relationships, and visibility at workGenerational shifts in how women approach work, ambition, and voiceWhy you can do everything — just not all at the same timeThe courage to stop shrinking and build your own room“Keep your values as your inner compass.Never stay in a space where you feel you need to shrink yourself — you can build your own room.”She also chose the Trust Your Gut card — a reminder that leadership often begins by listening to what you already know.

Do you know whether you're Vata, Pitta, or Kapha...and could that explain your stubborn symptoms in midlife? In this episode, I'm joined by my brilliant friend Dr. Shivani Gupta, and we dive into Ayurveda, inflammation, and why your body might be asking for a completely different approach right now. Have you ever wondered why turmeric seems to work like magic for pain, migraines, or inflammation? Or why the same routines that used to work suddenly don't anymore in perimenopause? We unpack how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom meets modern science—and why that combination matters so much for women over 40. We also go beyond supplements and symptoms into the deeper shifts of midlife. Is menopause actually an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and redesign your life? What if your fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain isn't failure, but feedback? This conversation might completely change how you see this season! In this episode, we uncover: How your elemental design influences inflammation, energy, and hormone balance. Why curcumin works so powerfully—and what most supplements get wrong. What Ayurveda says about perimenopause as a physical and spiritual transition. How simple daily rituals can replace willpower and finally stick. Why mental and emotional inflammation matter as much as hormones. If you're ready to rethink menopause and feel more at home in your body, this episode is for you.

The journey of midlife often means navigating new aches, unexplained fatigue, and questions about how our bodies are really aging. What if the way we feel,from pain to anxiety to energy, has less to do with "getting older" and more to do with what's happening deep in our cells and connective tissues? This episode brings practical clarity to a confusing topic: fascia, block therapy, and how decompressing our bodies from the inside out could shift the way we age. Journalist and host Natalie Tysdal welcomes expert Deanna Hansen, founder of block therapy and educator on cellular aging and detoxification. Deanna's grounded insights help demystify fascia, the tissue that connects every cell, and why its health matters more than we realize. If you've ever wondered about lingering pain, stiffness, or why common wellness advice sometimes falls flat, this conversation brings new options and hope. From her decades of clinical experience and personal transformation, Deanna shares gentle, realistic ways women can care for their bodies at any age—no fitness fads required. What you'll learn: • Why fascia health is crucial for pain, aging, inflammation, and overall wellbeing in women over 40 • The true difference between surface treatments (like massage, exercise) and deep fascia decompression • How breathwork and small daily practices influence detox, energy, and even weight loss • Simple, at-home techniques using a block, towel, or even your hands and feet to support fascia health (including travel) friendly options • How midlife women can start realistic self-care using Deanna's free resources, without needing a specialist or advanced tools For women in midlife, clarity is power. Understanding fascia and cellular decompression doesn't require hype or complicated routines. Instead, it provides tangible steps for feeling better, staying mobile, and aging with more comfort, not just managing symptoms, but changing the story of your health. This episode honors your intelligence and gives you grounded tools rooted in real science and lived experience.

If you've entered perimenopause and feel like your body suddenly isn't responding the way it used to, you're not imagining it and you're not broken.I'm joined By Redefining Strength RD Michelle and we're breaking down what's actually happening as hormones begin to shift and why strategies that once worked can suddenly fall flat. We cover the nutrition changes that matter most during perimenopause, including why protein becomes non-negotiable, how muscle loss and metabolic slowdown really happen, and why cutting calories often backfires.We also take a deep dive into creatine...one of the most misunderstood supplements for women. You'll learn what creatine actually does, why it doesn't make women bulky, and how it may support strength, muscle retention, bone health, fat loss, and even mood and brain function during perimenopause and beyond.This episode is about understanding your changing body, removing unnecessary fear around supplements, and learning how to adapt your approach instead of fighting against your physiology.If you've felt frustrated, confused, or like “nothing works anymore,” this episode will give you clarity...and a better way forward.

"There are ways to get some more net dollars to the charity, having a smaller financial impact on your own situation. It just takes a little bit of looking at [your financial situation]." Our hosts Stephanie McCullough of Sofia Financial and Kevin Gaines of American Financial Management Group tackle the ins-and-outs of charitable giving, and reveal how strategic planning can maximize impact while preserving your financial security. While charities treat all dollars equally (they pay zero taxes), how you give dramatically affects your bottom line! First up, they cover critical 2026 tax changes, including a new above-the-line deduction ($1,000 single, $2,000 married) and an unfortunate 0.5% AGI floor for itemizers. Donating appreciated assets (stocks or mutual funds held over a year) beats cash donations, because you avoid capital gains taxes while deducting the full current value, not just what you paid. Donor-advised funds emerge as timing powerhouses, letting you bunch donations in high-income years while distributing to charities over time. For those 70½ and older, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs offer tax-efficient giving that doesn't count as income. That's crucial for avoiding Medicare IRMAA surcharges and Social Security taxation pitfalls. The 2026 QCD limit is $111,000 per person. Estate planning gets attention, too. Naming charities as IRA beneficiaries saves heirs from devastating tax bills on inherited retirement accounts. Stephanie and Kevin also offer creative strategies involving life insurance policies and charitable trusts. The key takeaway is the importance of consulting professionals early in the year. Tax laws change constantly, and thoughtful planning transforms charitable impulses into maximum impact without jeopardizing your retirement security.   Key Topics: New 2026 Tax Rules for Cash Donations (5:44) Donating Appreciated Assets and Capital Gains (08:08) Donor-Advised Funds: Timing and Flexibility (14:09) Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs (18:41) Estate Planning: Beneficiary Designations for Charities (26:05) Creative Strategies: Life Insurance and Charitable Trusts (30:22)   Resources: Women + Roth IRA's – What Should You Be Aware Of?

Join us for this enlightening conversation with powerhouse fitness and wellness expert, Liz Plosser. Hear how she transitioned from Fitness Editor of a major magazine to starting her own podcast, "Lifting with Liz" and writing a Substack called "Best Case Scenario". Liz shares her passion for all things fitness, what her own routine looks like these days (you'll be impressed) and how she manages to keep it all together! We chat about how the fitness industry has changed with the introduction of GLP1s for weight loss as well as advancements in the research on women. Even though Liz has been in the health and wellness industry for decades, it wasn't until she started assessing her own diet (realizing she was under eating protein in a big way) and making modifications that she saw a tremendous difference in her performance and her results.  Liz shares insights on how she stays motivated and consistent and also prioritizes recovery. This is a great listen for anyone looking for a little extra "nudge" to start taking their health seriously!

Being visible on LinkedIn can help you get found by your ideal audience, but if you aren't leveraging the platform to its fullest potential, you can still be overlooked. For many business women who post content regularly, the authority, invitations, and opportunities they desire are still falling short. What many discover is that doing all of the right things on LinkedIn doesn't mean you are a 'discoverable expert.' In Episode 474 of the Amplify Your Success podcast, I'm joined by Karen Yankovich, LinkedIn and PR expert for women entrepreneurs, to unpack what is actually creating authority right now and why visibility without credibility no longer moves the needle. Karen and I talk about the difference between being active on LinkedIn and being positioned, how PR accelerates trust in ways content alone cannot, and why midlife women are uniquely suited to lead with experience, perspective, and presence. We also explore how authority compounds over time when visibility is anchored in identity, relevance, and contribution, not noise. If you are tired of blending in, want your expertise to be recognized, and are ready for LinkedIn to open real doors, this conversation will help you see what needs to shift.   Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why LinkedIn visibility alone no longer creates authority or opportunity. [04:12] The difference between posting content and being positioned as a thought leader. [07:35] How PR elevates credibility and accelerates trust beyond social media. [10:28] Why midlife women have a natural advantage in building authority right now. [13:44] The identity shift required to move from expert to recognized leader. [17:02] How strategic visibility compounds into long-term influence and opportunity. [20:16] Why authority is built through relevance and proximity, not volume. [23:41] What it means to lead with perspective instead of chasing engagement.   About The Guest:  Karen Yankovich is the CEO of Uplevel Media and host of the Good Girls Get Rich podcast, where she teaches ambitious women how to turn their brilliance into bank through the power of LinkedIn and PR. Known as the "LinkedIn Fairy Godmother," Karen helps midlife women step out of invisibility and into thought leadership — landing high-ticket opportunities, media features, and brand collaborations that grow both income and impact. After decades in corporate and entrepreneurship, Karen saw too many brilliant women underselling themselves, so she built her signature She's LinkedUp programs to change that. Her clients learn to magnetize opportunity with modern strategies that blend soulful energy work with the practical magic of visibility — because wealthy women change the world.

It started with a late-night "pantry party" and ended in a total life transformation. If you've ever wondered why you constantly feel bloated, fatigued, or like your workouts just aren't working, Sarah Wragge has some answers, and a method that makes real change stick.   After years of inflammation, prescriptions, and chasing results that never came, Sarah discovered a truth most women are never taught: we've been under-fueling, over-pushing, and completely disconnected from what feeling good actually feels like. In this episode, we talk about movement as medicine, the emotional side of wellness, and why balancing your blood sugar isn't a diet, it's a behavior shift that can change everything. This is the real-life, real-body wellness talk we all needed years ago.   Sarah Wragge is the founder of Sarah Wragge Wellness, creator of The SWW Method®, and your favorite "sweat worker" who's been helping women fuel better, move smarter, and actually feel good -- from the inside out.   Connect with Sarah: Website IG   Resources mentioned: Sign up for The SWW Method® - use code HSM15 to get $150 off SWW® Optimize - Protein & Fiber Powder SWW® Restore - Replenishing Minerals SWW® Alkalize - Detoxifying Greens Powder Listen to our GLP‑1 Panel episode of Be Powerful   Some key takeaways from this episode: You can't rely on caffeine and cravings to get you through the day. Sarah breaks down the blood sugar rollercoaster most women are unknowingly stuck on, and how small shifts in meal timing, protein, and greens can radically improve energy, digestion, and mood. Muscle doesn't grow without food. Whether you're lifting weights or doing barre, under-fueling will sabotage results. Sarah shares how to eat before your hunger turns to panic, and why women need to stop being afraid of eating enough. Macros are only half the story. You could hit your protein goal and still feel depleted if your body's missing fiber, minerals, and micronutrients. Sarah explains why your food quality, order, and nutrient density matter more than calorie counts ever will.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, we're starting the year with intention, clarity, and one essential focus: energy. Not the kind you chase with caffeine or quick fixes, but the kind you generate from within. Dr. Heidi and I dive into why so many people say, “I just don't feel like myself anymore” or “I don't have the energy I used to,” and what's really happening beneath the surface. We explore how energy is created in the body, how daily habits either fuel or drain us, and why taking ownership of our energy is one of the most powerful things we can do for our health, focus, and longevity.Key Highlights:➡️ Why the way you start your year matters more than you think➡️ The real reason “low energy” is such a common complaint➡️ How your body actually creates energy (without getting lost in science)➡️ The hidden impact of morning habits on how you feel all day➡️ Why “pushing through” isn't the same as generating energy➡️ The surprising role your microbiome plays in how energized you feel➡️ What most people misunderstand about food and energy➡️ The connection between your sleep quality and your daytime energy crashes➡️ How your evening routine sets the tone for tomorrow's energyKey Takeaways:“Every single morning when we wake up, we have a decision and a choice of how do we want to show up… we have to generate energy.” - Kellie Lupsha“Don't think, move.

Are you doing all the "right things" for your menopause symptoms—hormone therapy, nutrition, exercise, stress management—but still not feeling like yourself? In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriela Espinosa welcomes back licensed psychotherapist Ashley Turner for a groundbreaking conversation about psychedelic-assisted therapy and microdosing as complementary support during the menopause transition.Ashley Turner is a licensed marriage and family psychotherapist, yoga/meditation teacher, and founder of Yoga Psyche Soul, specializing in integrating Eastern spiritual practices with Western psychology (depth, shadow, and somatic psychology, women's mental health) for 25 years. After her own intense menopausal mental health struggles (depression, anxiety, confidence loss, cognitive issues), Ashley explored psychedelic-assisted therapy and psilocybin microdosing. She is completing her psychedelic-assisted therapy certification through the Integrated Psychiatry Institute in Boulder, focusing on psilocybin, ketamine, and MDMA. Ashley created the six-month Metamorphosis program for menopause and recently launched The Portal, a 12-week microdosing and menopause group therapy program with Golden Rule.Highlights from our discussion include:Menopause is a developmental phase, not just a medical event. Mental health symptoms during menopause can persist even with optimal lifestyle interventions.Psilocybin microdosing creates neuroplasticity and can act as a natural mood stabilizer.Psychedelic-assisted therapy is different from microdosing on your own. "No pills without skills" applies to all interventions, including psychedelics.This week, get curious: educate yourself by watching Ashley's masterclass on Microdosing and Menopause, read one of the books she mentioned (Mycelio-Pause or The Psilocybin Guidebook for Women), or simply journal about what you're experiencing emotionally and psychologically beyond the physical symptoms. Remember, you deserve all the tools available to thrive—not just survive—this transition.CONNECT WITH ASHLEY TURNER:InstagramWork with Ashley! CONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with Gabriella! Resources Mentioned:Mycelio-Pause: Using Mushrooms in the Menopausal TransitionThe Psilocybin Guidebook for Women by Jennifer ChesakAndrew Huberman's podcast on psilocybin and neuroscienceGolden Rule (female-owned psilocybin microdosing company based in Colorado)UK study on microdosing and menopauseBrian Johnson's live-streamed psilocybin macro dose journeyGo to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

Rest is not a luxury - it's medicine, especially in midlife. In this episode of The Badass Reset Club, I'm joined by Dr. Alexandra Howson to unpack why women in perimenopause and menopause feel exhausted, wired, and burned out and why pushing harder is no longer the answer. Dr. Howson is the host and producer of the Write Medicine podcast, author of WriteCME Roadmap, and a Yoga for Menopause & Women's Health specialist. She blends science and storytelling to help midlife women regulate their nervous systems, slow down, and restore energy through intentional rest. After navigating her husband's stroke during Covid, panic attacks, and cumulative life stress, Alexandra learned firsthand that rest isn't optional, it's essential. In this conversation, we explore what's actually happening in the nervous system and hormones when rest is ignored, why midlife is a biological turning point for burnout, and how micro-rest practices and mindset shifts can help women reset and thrive without stepping away from their lives. If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through midlife and ready for a smarter, more sustainable reset, this episode is for you.

What if some of the biggest barriers to your confidence and calling aren't external — but the quiet lies you've learned to live with? In this rich and honest conversation, I'm joined by Kristine Delano, a former Wall Street executive turned suspense novelist and podcast host, who brings a powerful perspective on leadership, ambition, faith, and identity. After more than twenty years in high-pressure financial environments, Kristine understands firsthand the cost of striving, silence, and self-doubt — especially for women navigating demanding careers alongside family and faith. We talk about: the hidden lies women in leadership often believe about confidence, worth, and ambition why asking questions is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) leadership skills navigating leadership and calling when life feels full and competing priorities pull at you the role of community, accountability, and networks in sustainable leadership how faith reshapes the way we view success, resilience, and purpose Kristine also shares insights from her debut novel The Lies We Trade, which explores the emotional tension women face in high-stakes environments — and why stories can be such a powerful mirror for leadership growth and self-reflection. If you've ever felt pressure to “have it all,” questioned your voice, or wondered whether you're leading the right way, this episode will challenge, encourage, and deeply resonate. More about Kristina Delano Kristine Delano spent over twenty years navigating a career on Wall Street before trading her panoramic city view for a standing writer's desk. She is the author of The Lies We Trade (releasing with Tyndale), host of the podcast We Talk Careers, and a speaker and strategic advisor passionate about helping women navigate leadership and calling with faith and integrity.

Growing up in a traditional Hispanic household, Jeanette Miranda Davila was taught the “safe path”: go to school, get a stable 9–5, and never risk security. But deep down, she always felt called to something more - something creative, something freeing, something hers.She chased that calling into the entertainment world, but motherhood shifted her again. She wanted presence, purpose, and a community that didn't yet exist. So she created one. Rooted In Her was born from her desire to support women navigating life transitions with honesty, vulnerability, and real connection.But her journey wasn't linear. After rapid growth (monthly events, community building, countless women served) Jeanette hit burnout. She felt drained, unseen, and taken advantage of. So she stepped back. Prayed. Journaled. Asked herself what she truly wanted.And the answer was clear: Build a real business. Build her own path.Leaving Divas Local was her wake-up call. Women weren't showing up for the brand—they were showing up for her. That realization fueled her comeback.Today, Jeanette is a paid speaker, community builder, and the visionary behind a thriving membership of women committed to collaboration over comparison. With a growing team and expanding events, Rooted In Her is becoming more than a community, it's a movement.Her mission? Inspire women to recognize their worth, break cultural cycles, and embrace bold dreams.Because when women feel seen, supported, and rooted in who they truly are, anything is possible.Subscribe to Young Boss with Isabelle Guarino wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to like, share and follow on Instagram and TikTok.And remember, youth is your power.

Nutritionist and ARTAH founder Rhian Stephenson joins Liz to explain why biohacking doesn't need to be extreme – and reveal the simple, powerful fundamentals that actually transform how we feel in midlife. They discuss why most women aren't hitting their protein targets (and how to frontload your day without relying on powders), and a simple supplement stack for healthy ageing. Rhian also shares how creatine supports not just muscle but brain energy, and why VO2 max is a more potent predictor of early death than obesity or smoking. They also discuss the free biohacks – like contrast showers and 40 push-ups – that require zero fancy equipment.

In this episode of The Hormone Genius, we are joined by expert OB/GYN Kristina Pakiz, founder of Vivify Women's Health and Fertility, for an honest, evidence-based conversation about fertility testing, specifically AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone), and what it does and does not tell women about their ability to conceive naturally. Dr. Pakiz brings years of clinical experience caring for women across the reproductive lifespan, with a special focus on restorative, patient-centered fertility care. Her approach emphasizes education, individualized evaluation, and empowering women with accurate information rather than fear-based lab interpretations. What Is AMH? AMH is a hormone produced by the granulosa cells of small, developing follicles in the ovaries. Clinically, it is often described as a marker of ovarian reserve, meaning it gives an estimate of how many recruitable follicles remain—not how well those eggs function, and not whether a woman can conceive naturally. Because AMH levels tend to decline with age, they are frequently used in fertility clinics to help predict response to ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. Why AMH Is Not a Good Marker of Natural Fertility One of the most important takeaways from this episode is that AMH is often misunderstood and over-applied, especially in younger women. Dr. Pakiz explains that: AMH does not predict whether a woman can get pregnant naturally Women with low AMH can and do conceive spontaneously Women with high AMH may still struggle with ovulation, cycle irregularity, or other fertility barriers AMH does not assess egg quality, ovulation timing, uterine health, cervical mucus, or hormonal balance In other words, AMH reflects quantity, not function, and fertility depends on far more than follicle count. The Harm of Over-Interpreting AMH Dr. Pakiz also addresses the emotional and clinical harm that can occur when AMH is presented as a “fertility score.” Many women are told they are “running out of time” or that pregnancy is unlikely based on AMH alone, messages that are often inaccurate and unnecessarily distressing. Dr. Pakiz describes the alternative of NaproTechnology/Restorative Reproductive Medicine. Exciting NEWS!!!

Does being “the strong one” actually make you a better leader—or is it quietly destroying your joy, your confidence, and your capacity as a high-achieving Christian woman in business?If you're a Christian woman in leadership, a faith-driven entrepreneur, or a high-capacity professional who's used to holding everything together, this episode of the Don't Waste the Chaos Podcast with Kerri Roberts will speak directly to you. You'll learn why hiding your needs is costing you relationally, spiritually, and professionally—and what godly success really looks like when your strength and your humanity live in the same room.Kerri Roberts, Christian business and HR consultant, unpacks the emotional, cultural, and spiritual layers behind why high-achieving Christian women default to “strength,” even when it leads to burnout, isolation, and under-recognition. Through Scripture, data, leadership psychology, and real-world corporate stories, she helps you see how embracing your needs is actually a mark of maturity—not weakness.If you're ready to lead with clarity, identity, and confidence rooted in Christ—not performance—this episode shows you where to begin.Kerri shares her own journey as a strong, assertive, high-capacity woman and reveals the hidden costs that come with carrying more than God ever asked you to. You'll learn how faith-driven leadership, emotional health, and unapologetic communication can transform your business, your relationships, and your sense of purpose. Whether you're negotiating compensation, navigating gender norms, leading a team, or carrying the mental load at home, this conversation brings freedom, Scripture, and strategy together for the Christian woman in business who is tired of doing it all alone.Key TakeawaysHigh-capacity Christian women often hide their needs, leading to burnout, invisibility, and diminished leadership impact.Gender norms and workplace expectations still shape how strong women are perceived, especially in male-dominated leadership environments.Scripture affirms the strength, wisdom, and voice of Christian women, including the boldness of the Proverbs 31 woman and the equal worth declared in Galatians 3:28.Being “the strong one” becomes unhealthy when it turns into martyrdom, self-silencing, or over-functioning in relationships or work.Healthy, faith-driven leadership requires preparation, assertive communication, boundaries, data-driven negotiation, and emotional honesty.SponsorThis episode is brought to you by HR in a Box — the complete people-operations system for small Christian-led businesses who want healthy culture, biblical leadership, legal compliance, and scalable HR foundations.

What if menopause is actually your brain's reset button, not the beginning of decline? New neuroscience shows this season can rewire your brain, restore your energy, and awaken a deeper sense of purpose. Dr. Mindy Pelz reveals how to work with your hormones instead of fighting them. Watch The Dr. Josh Axe Show every Monday & Thursday on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drjoshaxe

In part one of this powerful and insightful two-part conversation of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to unpack the real reason she wrote Age Like a Girl, and why menopause is far more than a hormonal ending, but a profound rewiring of a woman's brain and identity. Dr. Mindy opens up about her own breaking point, the need to pull away and admit “I'm not okay,” and what actually happens to women emotionally, neurologically, and metabolically as estrogen fades. Together, they explore the loss of key neurochemicals, the shift away from people-pleasing, and why menopause may be preparing women to become better, more intentional leaders. This episode also offers practical insight for women in their 30s and 40s on lifestyle changes, micro-habits, and ways to support dopamine, serotonin, and metabolic health, setting the foundation for the next chapter of power rather than decline.

If you've ever wondered whether your pelvic floor issues are "normal"… this episode is for you. Today I'm sitting down with pelvic health expert Dr. Sarah Tally to talk about the things women whisper about, ignore, or think they just have to "deal with" as they get older - leaking, urgency, pain with sex, constipation, postpartum changes, perimenopause shifts, AND the stuff nobody warned us about. Sarah shares how she found her way into pelvic floor physical therapy, why women over 40 dismiss symptoms that actually aren't normal, and the surprising signs your pelvic floor needs support (even if you've never had kids). We dig into bladder habits, urgency triggers, constipation, painful intercourse, vaginal dryness, hormone changes, and why so many women are stuck thinking a "tiny bladder" is just their personality trait. You'll also learn simple strategies to calm urgency, retrain your bladder, and understand what's really going on with your pelvic floor - all in a down-to-earth, totally shame-free way! If you've ever peed a little when you laugh, felt like you need the bathroom every 10 minutes, or wondered whether dryness or pain is just part of getting older… this is your episode. Pull up a seat, get comfy, and let's talk about the stuff women deserve to understand. You've been running on empty long enough.

I talked to Ethel Tan about confidence, early red flags, choosing partners with intention, and how our upbringing shapes the way we date. We got into what makes relationships last, why observation matters before commitment, her journey from theater to stand-up, and my own path from stripping to coaching. If you've ever questioned how to pick the right person—or how to stay true to yourself while dating—this conversation will help you see things differently.

Before you reach for advanced tools like GLP-1s or peptides, your body needs a solid foundation — and that starts with how you eat, move, rest, and regulate stress. In this episode, Tanya walks through the foundational pillars of health that determine how well your metabolism, hormones, and nervous system function. You'll learn how to nourish your body with food that communicates safety, build muscle that drives longevity, restore sleep through natural light and circadian alignment, and retrain your nervous system to move from survival to healing mode. This is where lasting transformation begins — not in quick fixes, but in steady, sustainable rhythms that support your biology and your calling. Key Takeaways Your body doesn't need punishment; it needs partnership. Natural light and quality sleep regulate hormones, energy, and metabolism. Muscle is metabolic medicine — build it, don't fear it. You can't supplement or medicate your way around poor foundations. Healing starts with safety — physical, emotional, and biological.   I hope this episode blesses you!

Today's guest is someone who has spent more than two decades helping women, families, and entrepreneurs build, protect, and keep their wealth.Ann Margaret Carrozza is a nationally recognized asset-protection and elder-law attorney, a former New York State Assemblywoman, and a trusted legal commentator seen across CBS, NBC, Fox Business, and iHeart. Her new book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Building & Protecting Wealth, is a roadmap for safeguarding everything you've worked hard to earn — from unexpected lawsuits and tax traps to relationship risks and long-term care. In our conversation, Ann Margaret makes one point very clear: You cannot build wealth unless you also protect it. And for women in particular who statistically earn less, live longer, and often carry more family responsibility, the stakes are even higher. In this episode, we break down how transparency, smart prenups, and strategic tools like trusts and alternative long-term care policies can help protect your assets, your home, and your future.
