Why Self-Connection Matters Most in Perimenopause

<p>This episode is a little different. 💛</p> <p>I recently joined Ann Marie McQueen on her podcast, Hotflash Inc, and the conversation was too good not to share here. We talked deeply about women's health, burnout, the broken healthcare system, and what it really means to take radical responsibility for your own body, especially in midlife.</p> <p><strong>Highlights:</strong></p> <p>✨ I share how my Woman Up event united over 100 women seeking health and happiness.<br /> ✨ Why "normal" bloodwork isn't always optimal, and how the medical system continues to fail women.<br /> ✨ How midlife hormones lower our tolerance for stress and change the way we recover.<br /> ✨ My own burnout and "dark night of the soul", and how I turned it into a healing experience.<br /> ✨ Why perimenopause can sound like "I don't feel like myself" and what that really means.<br /> ✨ The danger of assuming every symptom is perimenopause, and what to test instead.<br /> ✨ Iron, B12, and protein deficiencies: the hidden causes behind fatigue and low mood.<br /> ✨ Why collaboration between medical and naturopathic doctors is the future of women's health.</p> <p>If you've ever felt dismissed, overlooked, or "not quite yourself," this conversation will remind you that your body isn't broken - it's just asking you to listen.</p> <p>This episode is both a reflection and a rallying cry for women everywhere to woman up, speak up, and take charge of their own wellbeing.</p> <p>Originally aired on Hotflash Inc with Ann Marie McQueen... shared here with love.</p> <p>Get on the waitlist for Woman Up 2026<br /> Join us as we continue to gather women in powerful, transformative spaces.<br /> https://womanupuxbridge.com/2026</p>

<div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> This episode is a raw, funny, and inspiring conversation about what it really takes for women to reclaim their sense of self — in their health, their beauty, and their everyday choices. Jamie, an in-demand esthetician and unapologetic truth-teller, shares her personal journey from burnout and self-neglect to strength, confidence, and deep authenticity.</div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> </div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> We unpack why so many women feel guilty about investing in themselves, how judgment often reflects our own unfulfilled needs, and why aging is a privilege — not something to fight against. You’ll hear the moment a blunt physio changed the course of Jamie’s health, how she built the discipline that transformed her body and mind, and why she believes every woman can (and must) make time for what matters most.</div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> </div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> <strong>What You’ll Learn in This Episode:</strong></div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> <p> - Why self-care guilt runs so deep — and how to dismantle it.</p> <p> - The hidden mental load of “who do I have to be today?”</p> <p> - How to spot when judgment is really about you.</p> <p> - Jamie’s empowering take on beauty, aging, and authenticity.</p> <p> - The real story behind her year-long health and fitness transformation.</p> <p> - Practical mindset shifts to help you prioritize your well-being without apology.</p> </div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> </div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> <strong>Why Listen:</strong></div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> If you’ve ever felt torn between showing up for everyone else and taking care of yourself, this conversation will feel like a permission slip you didn’t know you needed. Jamie’s candor, humor, and hard-earned wisdom will leave you inspired to drop the guilt, own your choices, and unapologetically do what makes you feel your best — inside and out.</div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> </div> <div class= "TypographyPresentation TypographyPresentation--medium RichText3-paragraph--withVSpacingNormal RichText3-paragraph HighlightSol HighlightSol--buildingBlock"> <p><strong>Resources & Links</strong></p> <ol> <li> <p>WOMAN UP tickets & details: womanupuxbridge.com</p> </li> <li> <p>Follow Dallas: www.instagram.com/athomewithdallas</p> </li> <li> <p>Follow Leigha: www.instagram.com/drleighasaundersnd</p> </li> </ol> </div>

<p data-pm-slice="1 3 []">When life sideswipes your plans, what do you do next? Realtor, designer, former pro singer, and mom of three <strong>Dallas James</strong> shares the raw middle of separation, learning boundaries, feeling grief in real time, and finding her way back to joy at 50.
