   Choosing Sobriety: The Habits, Healing & Freedom on the Other Side with Lesli Etzel

   What if sobriety isn’t about what you’re giving up—but about everything you get to gain? In this episode of CEO Optimized, Dr. Kimberly Olson sits down with recovery coach Lesli Etzel, founder of Sobriety Redefined, for an open conversation about choosing sobriety and creating a life on the other side of alcohol. Sobriety is so much bigger than simply not drinking. It can become an opportunity to look at your habits, your relationships, your identity, and the ways you’ve learned to cope—and begin intentionally building something different. Kimberly and Lesli talk about the healing that can happen when we stop numbing and start becoming present in our own lives, along with the daily choices and support systems that can help make sobriety sustainable. In this episode, we explore: • Choosing sobriety and what life can look like on the other side • Creating new habits and routines without alcohol • The connection between sobriety, healing, and personal growth • Learning healthier ways to navigate stress and difficult emotions • The importance of community and support in recovery • Rediscovering yourself when alcohol is no longer part of your identity • Why sobriety can create more freedom—not less • Building a life you genuinely want to be present for Whether you’re sober, sober curious, supporting someone you love, or simply reconsidering the role alcohol plays in your life, this conversation offers an encouraging look at what can become possible when you choose a different path. Because sometimes optimizing your life begins with becoming fully present for it.

   The Power of the Pause: Body Awareness, Hormones & Nervous System Regulation with Mercedes Fort

   What if one of the most powerful things you could do for your health was simply learn to pause? In this episode of CEO Optimized, Dr. Kimberly Olson sits down with Mercedes Fort for a conversation about body awareness, hormones, perimenopause, the mind-body connection, and nervous system regulation. As ambitious women, we can become incredibly good at overriding what our bodies are telling us. We push through exhaustion, stress, hunger, overwhelm, and changing cycles because we’ve learned that being strong means keeping going. But what if strength in this next season looks different? Mercedes shares a powerful perspective on moving from performance to attunement—learning to notice the signals your body is sending instead of automatically overriding them. Her work encourages women to treat their bodies as valuable sources of information and become observers of their own energy, sleep, hunger, recovery, mood, stress tolerance, and cycles. We talk about: • Body awareness and learning to recognize your body’s signals • Hormones and navigating the transition into perimenopause • The connection between your mind, emotions, and physical body • Why nervous system capacity matters for high-achieving women • Moving from constantly pushing through to becoming more attuned • The power of pausing before reacting, agreeing, or taking on more • Nourishing and strengthening your body for the season ahead • Faith, stillness, and creating space to listen • Why entering midlife doesn’t have to mean entering a season of decline Mercedes describes nervous-system regulation not as escaping the demands of life, but as creating enough internal space that every demand doesn’t automatically become an emergency. This conversation is an invitation to stop asking, How much more can my body give me? and begin asking a different question: What does my body need from me? Because sometimes optimization isn’t about doing more. Sometimes it starts with the power of the pause. RESOURCES FROM MERCEDES: Girl Talk.

   Reset Your Metabolism with Amber Menard

   Reset Your Metabolism: Why What Worked Before May Not Be Working Now with Amber Menard If you feel like you’re doing all the “right” things but your body just isn’t responding the way it used to, this conversation is for you. In this episode of CEO Optimized, Dr. Kimberly Olson sits down with Amber Menard to talk about metabolism, midlife, and why this season of life may require us to rethink the way we approach our health. We’re diving into what it really means to support your metabolism instead of constantly fighting your body—and why another restrictive diet or extreme plan may not be the answer. This conversation is about getting curious about your body, understanding what it needs in this season, and creating sustainable habits that support your energy, strength, health, and longevity. Because optimizing your health isn’t about punishing your body into submission. It’s about learning how to work WITH it. In this episode, we explore: • Why your metabolism can feel different as you enter midlife • Moving away from the “eat less, exercise more” mentality • The importance of creating sustainable habits instead of chasing quick fixes • How stress, lifestyle, nutrition, and other factors can impact the way you feel • Why understanding your individual body matters • Supporting your health without making wellness your full-time job • Creating an approach you can actually maintain • Why midlife can be an opportunity to become stronger, healthier, and more intentional than ever If you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding what your body needs, Amber has several resources to help you take your next step.

   Choose Less. Choose Better: Confidence, Conscious Fashion & the Woman You're Becoming

   What if getting dressed every morning was about more than just what looks good? In this episode of CEO Optimized, Dr. Kimberly Olson sits down with Allyson Mancini for a conversation about confidence, conscious fashion, identity, and why choosing less—but choosing better—can impact far more than your closet. We’re talking about stepping away from the constant pressure to consume more and instead becoming intentional about what we bring into our homes, put on our bodies, and choose for the life we’re creating. Kimberly and Allyson dive into the connection between what you wear and how you show up, the environmental impact of fast fashion, building a wardrobe you actually love, and how your personal style can reflect the woman you’re becoming. Because intentional living isn’t about perfection—and it certainly isn’t about replacing everything you own overnight. It’s about becoming more aware, making better choices when you can, and choosing quality over quantity. In this episode, we talk about: • The “choose less, choose better” philosophy • Why more doesn’t always equal happier • Confidence and the psychology of getting dressed • Clothing, identity, and the woman you’re becoming • Conscious fashion and making more intentional purchases • Moving away from disposable, fast-fashion habits • Creating a wardrobe that works harder with fewer pieces • Why personal style can be a form of self-respect and self-expression • Simple ways to begin making more thoughtful choices Ready to explore Cabi?
