Episode Summary

80% of migraine sufferers are women. And I hear way too many women say their doctors brush off their complaints of headaches and migraines, giving no real, lasting solutions. 

So that ends here! 

I’ve invited the brilliant Dr. Meg Mill on the podcast to unpack the real connection between hormones, histamine, and headaches, especially as it relates to midlife hormonal changes. 

You’ll learn the first practical steps—like:

  • balancing blood sugar
  • reducing oxidative stress
  • spotting symptom patterns
  • simplifying food eliminations
  • and choosing the right supplements 

—to finally get ahead of chronic migraines. This conversation is all about giving you the clarity, tools, and confidence to support your body instead of suffering in silence. 

Tune in to discover the migraine solutions every woman deserves!

QUOTES

”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!

IN THIS EPISODE

  1. What relationships and community in midlife should look like 
  2. How to use mindfulness to support changes in menopause 
  3. Mindful ways to manage anxiety rather than fighting against it
  4. The uptick in early perimenopause and autoimmune disorders 
  5. Using mindfulness to shift the menopause narrative  
  6. What radical love looks like for a woman in midlife

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! 

Elena Brower 

Elena Brower is an international yoga and meditation teacher on Glo, guiding transformative practices for over 25 years. She’s the author of Art of Attention: A Yoga Practice Workbook for Movement as Meditation, and just published her newest book, Hold Nothing. Elena is a mother, mentor, poet, artist, volunteer, bestselling author, and host of the Practice You Podcast, where she supports women through life’s transitions, encouraging presence, care, and openness. 

IN THIS EPISODE

  1. Exploring the concept and benefits of “holding nothing” 
  2. Emphasizing the importance of relationships 
  3. Healthy parenting techniques for fostering trust 
  4. Remaining steady and patient in unexpected circumstances 
  5. How your body physiologically responds to stress 
  6. Practicing Zen Meditation 
  7. Lifestyle recommendations for midlife transitions  

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.”
