Feeling like midlife is supposed to be a slow decline instead of a powerful beginning? This conversation says otherwise.

In this episode of The Charyse Williams Show, Charyse talks with women’s health nurse practitioner Lillian Browning to reframe menopause and post-menopause as a sacred, empowered season, especially for Black women and high-achieving professionals. Lillian breaks down what happens after the “12 months without a period” mark, how to distinguish perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, and why many women feel unseen once the hot flashes stop.

You’ll hear real stories about saying “Good morning, gorgeous,” naming and healing the “weathering” Black women carry, and using practices like meditation, movement, community, and travel to release stress and reclaim joy. Lillian also explains why you’re never “too old,” how to set aligned goals in midlife, and why self-love, forgiveness, and boundaries are essential for aging with power and purpose.

In this powerful episode of The Charyse Williams Show, Charyse sits down with the phenomenal Lauren Dietrich for an honest, deeply human conversation about capacity, nervous system regulation, and building a business that actually feels safe to receive more.

Together, they break down why so many entrepreneurs hit invisible income ceilings, not because of strategy, but because their bodies don’t feel safe holding more clients, more visibility, or more money. Lauren shares how her success skyrocketed the moment she stopped relying solely on willpower and started nurturing her emotional and energetic capacity.

Listeners will learn simple, practical tools to regulate their nervous system, from intentional breathing to journaling to the underrated power of a daily walk, and why these tiny shifts create massive clarity, creativity, and ease in business. If you're craving growth without burnout, aligned action without hustle, and results that feel good… this episode is your cheat code.
