In this episode of The Rising Rebel Podcast, I sit down with Jolene Dawn Lindsey, Registered Clinical Counsellor, trauma therapist, and one of the brilliant facilitators joining us at the I Am Her: My Reclamation Retreat.

We dive into the heart of healing work and explore the transformative tools that Jolene uses to help her clients move through trauma, rewire old patterns, and reclaim their innate wholeness.

✨ Inside this conversation, we cover:

• EMDR explained — what it is, how it works with the brain to reprocess trauma, and why it can be so life-changing for those stuck in old patterns.
• How somatic therapy helps us heal not just in the mind but also in the body, where trauma is often stored.
• Why healing isn’t about “fixing” what’s broken, but remembering your wholeness.
• A glimpse into what Jolene will be facilitating at the I Am Her: My Reclamation Retreat — and why this kind of immersive healing experience can catalyze lasting transformation.
• The ripple effect that happens when women choose themselves

If you’ve ever felt caught in cycles of self-doubt, looping thoughts, or stuck in the pain of old wounds, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing is possible— it’s powerful, embodied, and within reach.

This week, I’m joined by my lifelong best friend, Rozalind Panasuk — and we’re diving into a conversation that’s been 34 years in the making.

Roz isn’t just my best friend, she’s a wildly talented photographer who helps women see themselves in a whole new light. Together, we’ve been through every season of life, and in this episode we’re sharing the real talk about friendship, growth, and why authenticity is so damn important.

We also share something that’s been on our hearts for months now: our upcoming women’s retreat in Sun Peaks October 24-26th 2025. This isn’t about escaping your life for a weekend — it’s about remembering who you are, stripping away the old stories and identities that keep you small, and stepping into the woman you’re here to be.

In this conversation, we discuss:

✨ What it really looks like to choose yourself in everyday life

✨ How celebrating yourself (instead of brushing off your wins) builds self-trust

✨ The difference between belonging and authenticity — and how to claim both

✨ The power of sisterhood, retreat spaces, and why women are craving this more than ever

✨ What to expect at our I Am Her: My Reclamation Retreat (and why it’s going to be pure magic)

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to give yourself permission to live as her — your most authentic, radiant, unapologetic self — consider this episode (and this retreat) your invitation.

Menopause is inevitable, but the silence around it doesn’t have to be. This week I’m joined by Lauren A. Tetenbaum — social worker, lawyer-turned-advocate, mother of two, and author of Millennial Menopause. Known as The CounseLaur, Lauren specializes in supporting women through major life transitions, including postpartum, working parenthood, and now — menopause.

Together, we dive into:

• 🌙 The difference between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause (and why most women never get taught this)
• 🧠 Why mindset and our cultural beliefs about aging can amplify or ease menopause symptoms
• 💊 Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): what the old research got wrong, and what modern science is showing us now
• 🥦 Nutrition + lifestyle shifts that can set us up for success in our 30s and 40s
• 💪 Why strength training is a non-negotiable tool for thriving through perimenopause and beyond
• ✨ How millennials are uniquely navigating late motherhood and menopause at the same time
• 🔥 Why it’s time to treat menopause not as an ending, but as a rite of passage into power and wisdom

This episode is for every woman who’s ever thought: Why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?
