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

Ever find yourself standing in the pantry late at night, mindlessly eating your favorite salty snack straight from the bag? Been there! 👋 

But we all know that’s not the best thing we could be doing for our metabolic health. Today, I’m joined by Amber Romaniuk, an Emotional Eating, Digestive, and Hormone Expert, for a raw and empowering conversation on why so many women—especially in midlife—feel stuck in cycles of emotional eating just as hormones, energy, and motivation start to shift. 

We explore why this struggle isn’t about willpower, but a deeper call for healing, and how your body’s cravings are often tied to hidden hormone chaos during perimenopause and menopause. 

Amber shares her own powerful journey of breaking free from binge eating while healing her gut and hormones, and offers practical tools to help you build trust with your body again.

If you’re ready to step out of guilt and into compassion and freedom with food and your body, tune in to this episode!

IN THIS EPISODE

  1. The impact of emotional eating on hormonal health 
  2. Breaking old patterns instilled in us about eating and body image
  3. Why consistency is better than an all-or-nothing mindset 
  4. Blood sugar balancing for optimal metabolism 
  5. Non-negotiable habits and recognizing negative eating triggers 
  6. Emotional eating, late-night snacking, and other food addictions 
  7. Beneficial ways of “rewarding” ourselves that feel GOOD
  8. Mindful eating and other healthy eating habits at meal time 

QUOTES

“Working on blood sugar balance– they start to have a more stable mood, more stable energy. Their cravings start to drop. They have less urge to emotionally eat or binge.”

“There’s gonna be many levels of dealing with that trigger, including probably hormone support and reprioritizing yourself on your schedule, which is going to take time setting boundaries.”

“Be patient, ladies. It’s not about willpower, it’s not about trying harder. It’s about knowing this kind of vulnerable time and going, ‘Okay, maybe I wanna build this time a little differently. If I know I’m vulnerable, what would be a habit or a self-care practice just to help me through this time?’”
