   S2 | EP 39: 6 Lessons I have learned

   I recently shared a social media post with 6 things I believe at 47. But behind each of these sentences are years of experience, relationships, mistakes, changes, heartbreak, growth and reflection. I hear women talk about dreading getting older, but I genuinely see it as a gift and opportunity, and that is what I am exploring in this episode. In this episode, we talk about: The value of the lessons that only time + reflection could have taught me Being known as my actual self matters more to me than being liked as a version that is shaped by people pleasing I no longer believe it’s my responsibility to manage anyone else’s feelings, relationships and experiences I pay attention if someone’s words and actions actually match I’ve always done it this way isn’t a good reason to keep doing it I’m grateful my life didn’t go as planned A few questions to sit with: What do I believe now that I didn’t believe 5 or 10 years ago? What have I changed my mind about? What am I no longer willing to tolerate, accept or carry Where am I still living from an old belief that no longer fits who I am? Am I living in a way that reflects what I now know?

   S2 | EP 38: When You Don't Feel Like Yourself: Hormones, Stress & Midlife with Dr. Heather Elton

   Have you ever thought, *I just don’t feel like myself anymore*? Maybe your sleep has changed. Your energy isn’t what it used to be. You’re experiencing brain fog, anxiety, changes in your body, lower motivation, or you simply feel off — but you’re not quite sure why. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Heather Elton, IFMCP, DCBCN, DC, owner of Move•ment Chiropractic & Integrative Wellness, for a conversation about women’s hormones, perimenopause, stress, and what can happen when changes inside our bodies collide with major changes happening in our REAL lives. We talk about why perimenopause is so much more than hot flashes, how hormonal shifts can affect our physical and emotional well-being, and why two women experiencing similar symptoms may need very different kinds of support. We also explore something I think is especially important: this stage of life often overlaps with divorce, betrayal, career changes, caring for aging parents, children leaving home, grief, and other major transitions. So how do we begin sorting through what’s hormonal, what’s stress, what’s emotional, and what may be a combination of all three? In this episode, we talk about: What functional medicine is and how Dr. Heather approaches women’s health What’s actually happening during perimenopause and how long this transition can last How changing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels may affect sleep, energy, mood, motivation, brain fog, libido, body composition, and more Why women can feel like something is wrong even when they’ve been told their labs are “normal” The relationship between prolonged stress and hormonal health What happens when hormonal changes overlap with major life transitions Why community and asking for support matter during this season The foundational role of nutrition, movement, hydration, stress support, and sleep Why there isn’t one supplement, protocol, or hormone solution that is right for every woman How to approach all of the hormone and wellness information online with more discernment One thing I really appreciated about this conversation is Dr. Heather’s reminder that women deserve individualized care. Feeling different as your body changes doesn’t mean you need to resign yourself to feeling less like you for the rest of your life. And you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Continue the Conversation Dr. Heather and I will also be continuing this conversation during an upcoming workshop on women’s health and hormones, where we’ll have more time to go deeper and offer additional education and practical support.

   S2 | EP 37: Are You the Most Negotiable Person in Your Own Life?

   You’re dependable. You’re the organizer, the problem solver, the person everyone knows they can count on. And you may genuinely love being that person. But somewhere along the way, did your own plans, needs, and wants become the easiest ones to move? In this episode, we’re talking about the subtle ways women can build a life around showing up for everyone else while slowly becoming the most negotiable person on their own calendar. We’ll explore the resentment and guilt that can come with that, why waiting for life to “settle down” keeps us stuck, and what happens when we become so identified with our roles that we’re no longer sure what we want for ourselves. In this episode, we talk about: Why resentment can be information rather than something to feel ashamed of The difference between loving your people and continually putting yourself last How waiting for permission keeps us from making room for ourselves Why “I’ll do it when life settles down” can become a moving finish line What it means when you’re not even sure how you’d spend time that was completely yours Why prioritizing yourself doesn’t mean putting yourself above everyone else How to start becoming a little less negotiable through one small promise to yourself Previous Podcast Mentioned S2 EP 31: How to Let Resentment Be Your Friend (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s2-ep-31-how-to-let-resentment-be-your-friend/id1719852907?i=1000772720604) A few questions to sit with: Where have I become the most negotiable person in my own life? What have I been waiting for permission to do? What do I genuinely want more of right now? What is one promise I can make to myself this week — and keep? If this episode feels a little too familiar... I created a free recorded workshop to help you move from awareness into action. We’ll go deeper into how these patterns develop, how to reconnect with what you actually want, how to work through the guilt that can show up when you make room for yourself, and how to begin changing things through small, realistic steps that fit your REAL life. Because you don’t need to stop showing up for the people you love. You just need to include yourself in the list of people you’re willing to show up for.
