IN THIS EPISODE

  1. What to expect in my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution
  2. What’s driving the confusion around perimenopause?
  3. Understanding the system-wide changes during perimenopause
  4. Recognizing feelings and emotions common in perimenopause

QUOTES

“Symptoms and changes in the body are a result of fluctuating and declining hormones that have far-reaching effects on many important systems– the brain, heart, metabolism, bones, and muscles, to name a few.” 

“My goal with this book is to help women gain a greater understanding of the impact of hormone shifts, as well as changes in metabolism and blood sugar on every aspect of their health. That way, they can target these areas and confidently approach the second half of life feeling strong, resilient, and energized.”

“Perimenopause forces us to confront challenges in a whole new way because what worked before no longer does, and ultimately, I think that’s a good thing because we learn to prioritize what really matters and let go of what doesn’t serve us anymore.”

Episode Summary

What do you really want the second half of your life to look like? 

Being a doormat for others, then resenting it? Saying yes, when you really mean no? Doing more tasks or more work, taking responsibility for everything, and feeling overwhelmed in your life? 

This can be how so many of us in midlife feel, but I’m here to tell you there IS another way. 

In this episode, I sit down with expert Beatriz Albina to talk about a challenge so many women face but can’t always name—patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, and the ultimate people-pleasing trap. 

Beatriz introduces the concept of emotional outsourcing and how it quietly drives these behaviors, leaving us feeling stuck and drained. 

Together, we discuss how reframing your mindset is a powerful tool for reclaiming your emotional well-being. Plus, Beatriz gives us a sneak peek into her brand-new book, End Emotional Outsourcing—a guide to finding freedom, balance, and true self-connection.

Tune in here to reignite joy in your life, and find the inner peace you’ve been craving for years!

QUOTES


“This is what happens when we get activated or triggered in our nervous system. When we start being mean to ourselves, when we ignore our impulses, when we project, when we take things personally, when we get offended, all these things– our nervous system is in a different time and place.” 

“That’s the self-worth work. Saying, ‘I trust myself, I believe in myself, and so I know that this isn’t a problem.’ And that’s that. Not allowing any other thoughts to enter your beautiful mind space, your world, your body. It’s really vital work.” 

“What our children and our partners, and our friends and our communities and ourselves want and need from us the most, most, most, is presence. Intunement and presence.”

Episode Summary

“I can never get a good workout in… I don’t have the time.” 

I hear it all the time, especially from busy women. But get ready to learn the best way NEVER to say that statement again! 

In this episode, I sit down with Ulrich Dempfle, the CEO of CAROL, to talk about why carving out even a few minutes for exercise in midlife can be a total game-changer. 

Ulrich explains that the right movement is one of the most powerful things you can do to boost health span, energy, and quality sleep. 

So we dive into the science of VO₂ max and mitochondrial function (which start to decline in our 30s), and how efficient workouts can slow that process dramatically. 

For busy women in midlife, heart health and metabolic health are front and center, and CAROL’s unique approach makes it possible to train smarter, not longer, for ultimate health. 

Tune in here to learn all about CAROL, and discover how quick, intentional exercise can fit seamlessly into your hectic life WITHOUT sacrificing results!

He began his career as a mechanical engineer in Germany’s automotive industry, but later became a healthcare system consultant and is now a fitness tech pioneer.  Ulrich’s personal fitness transformation is proof of CAROL’s power.

QUOTES

“Unfortunately, with aging, we all lose about 10% of our VO2 max per decade. So it’s a progressive thing. It starts from around 30, and if you don’t do something about it, you will lose fitness progressively throughout your life.”

“Based on the feedback we’re receiving, [we] make it as simple as possible and take as many barriers away to actually stick to a workout and reap the benefits that are available from this ultra short, super efficient workout.”
