   The Micro Steps to Courage: How to Live a Courageous Life and Pursue Your Desires|81

   Join the Moms Unboxed Telegram for in-depth conversations about self-discovery, healing, and transformation that will empower you to embody the woman who lives confidently, sensually, and liberated. In this episode of Moms Unboxed, Melanie Carolyn strips away the myth that brave people aren't afraid. If you've been waiting to feel "ready" before starting that business, joining that dance class, or asking for that raise, this conversation is your wake-up call. Courage isn't something you have; it's something you do—one micro-movement at a time. Melanie shares a raw look at how childhood shame can stay frozen in our bodies for decades, and how she finally "unboxed" her lifelong desire to dance by stepping onto a burlesque stage. It wasn't about being fearless; it was about acknowledging the "sweaty-palmed, heart-racing" reality of fear and doing it anyway. In this episode, we dive into: The "Cautious Bestie": Why we need to stop trying to kill our fear and start treating it like a protective friend who just wants us to be prepared. The Power of Micro-Movements: How to eat the "proverbial elephant" of your dreams by taking tiny, regulated steps that won't fry your nervous system. The Identity Shift: Why being a "good mom" doesn't mean abandoning your womanhood, and how pursuing your joy is actually a gift to your children. The "Arena" & Accountability: Finding your "daring greatly" circle—people who see your mess-ups (like a wig falling off mid-performance!) and cheer you on anyway. Outgrowing Your Reality: Navigating the scary truth that as you evolve, your relationships and environments might have to change with you.

   Perimenopause, Libido, and Confidence: With Dr. Dana Culp on Navigating Midlife |EP.80

   This week on Moms Unboxed, Melanie Carolyn sits down with Dr. Dana Culp, a midlife medicine expert who learned the hard way that even doctors aren't always prepared for the "hormonal chaos" of perimenopause. In this transparent and vital conversation, Dr. Dana shares her personal journey of being dismissed by the medical system and how she reclaimed her "zest for life." We dive deep into the symptoms no one warns you about—from the "spreading hair" and graying to the sudden loss of libido and the rise of "menopause rage." In this episode, we discuss: The 10-Year Window: Why perimenopause can start as early as your mid-30s. Medical Gaslighting: How to spot a provider who isn't trained in midlife care and the specific questions you must ask at your next appointment. The Intimacy Gap: How hormonal shifts affect desire and why "foreplay is an all-day event." The "Second Act": Why aging doesn't have to be a "slow slide into irrelevancy," but can actually be your most powerful season yet. Mamas, this information is too important to keep to ourselves. The "menopause gap" in healthcare only closes when we start talking about it. If this episode helped you feel seen or gave you the courage to advocate for your health, please share it. Send this link to a friend who is struggling, or share it in your family group chat so the people you love can understand the transition you're navigating. Let's help every woman move into her "second act" with confidence. Tag us @MomsUnboxed when you share! Want to know more about Dr. Dana Culp: Dana Culp is the founder of Thrive Midlife Medicine, a virtual medical practice focused on providing evidence-based care for women in perimenopause and menopause.
