Episode Summary

Feel like you’re just not yourself mentally in midlife? Trust me, you are absolutely not crazy for wondering what’s going on in your brain.

In this episode, hormone expert Dr. Carrie Jones joins me to unpack the very real brain changes and hormone fluctuations that make midlife feel like a rollercoaster.

Dr. Carrie brings refreshing honesty about giving herself grace on the days when her brain simply says “no” and how that compassion is essential for all of us navigating this season of life.

We dive into the midlife “reckoning,” when so many women realize it’s time to reevaluate who they are, what they want, and say goodbye to what no longer serves them.

Together, we explore why midlife can leave you feeling out of whack, how hormones drive these shifts, and what you can do to support your brain with more clarity and ease.

Tune in to feel validated and empowered as you move through this transformative stage of life!

QUOTES

“We still have good days and bad days and things we cannot control. And because I can’t control the rollercoaster that my inherent hormones are on, and I can’t control necessarily what the neurons in my brain are doing… I actually give myself a lot of grace.”

“Even for as educated as I am, I’m not alone. There are a lot of women struggling, and there are a lot of women struggling a lot more than me, unfortunately.”

“$26 billion are lost on women in perimenopause and early menopause due to absenteeism and loss in productivity because they just don’t feel like they can do it. Their brain feels like it’s on the fritz.”

”Sometimes it’s looking at your hormones in the way you’re metabolizing. You may actually have low estrogen… so what we need to look at is how you metabolize your estrogen.”

“The more we can keep our blood sugar balanced throughout the day and night, the better [it is] for migraines.”

“If you can take away any message from this conversation, it’s that there’s hope and there ARE things you can do [for migraines].”

Episode Summary

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!

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.”

Episode Summary

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!

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.”

Episode Summary

Feeling a bit lost in midlife? This is a MASSIVE transition physically and emotionally, so it’s easy to feel like you’re just not who you once were.

In this episode, I sit down with the wonderful Elena Brower to discuss navigating midlife with more grace, spaciousness, and self-trust.

As a seasoned meditation and yoga instructor, Elena reminds us that this season of life is truly about letting go—releasing what no longer serves you and creating room for what deeply matters now.

Through the stories and practices in her new book, Hold Nothing, she offers a grounded pathway for prioritizing yourself, your energy, and your evolving needs without apology.

We explore how midlife asks us to choose what gets to take center stage today… and you can bet it’s different from what mattered most to you five, ten, or twenty years ago.

So if you’re craving care, patience, and encouragement as you move through hormonal shifts and midlife transitions, this conversation is just for you!

QUOTES

“This ritual of sitting in the morning became the steadfast rule. And this is where it almost feels like I’m taking a shower for my mind– getting rid of all the doubt, the fear, the frustration, the angst, the anxiety, the anger… And when I finally took it on, it actually made a huge difference in who I am and how I show up, particularly in my parenting, but also in every other realm.”

“Those situations are really important to keep close. Those are the ones that are going to help us really practice and learn how to die, and that’s kind of the next step, the next practice, living as fully with as much love and fun as we can, as much care and consideration as we can, and dying well.”
