In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most requested topics: why so many women struggle with weight gain, hormonal shifts, and belly fat—especially as we move through our 40s, 50s, and beyond.

Key Topics:

• The real reasons behind changes in body composition and why "just doing more cardio" or "eating less" isn't the answer.

• The importance of building muscle, not just losing weight, for a tighter midsection and overall health.

• How lifestyle changes, hormonal fluctuations, and even being more sedentary than we realize can impact our results.

• Why advanced training strategies and a focus on progressive overload are key for women who are already fit but not seeing the results they want.

• The role of cortisol, stress, and recovery—including how to implement a "cortisol reset" and why rest days and nutrient timing matter.

• Practical tips for structuring your training, dialing in your nutrition (yes, you probably need more carbs!), and staying consistent for long-term results.

• My personal journey with body composition, muscle building, and the lessons I've learned through perimenopause and beyond.

In this episode, I share my personal journey with hair loss, especially as I entered my 40s and began experiencing perimenopause. I discuss how hair loss became a powerful messenger about my overall health, not just a cosmetic concern.

Key Topics Covered:

• The critical role of estrogen and progesterone in hair growth and how hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause impact hair cycles.

• My own experience with increased hair shedding, stress, and the realization that hair health reflects deeper systemic issues.

• The importance of looking beyond surface solutions (like shampoos or supplements) and investigating root causes such as stress, thyroid function, mineral balance, and gut health.

• The impact of chronic stress on nutrient depletion, thyroid health, and hair loss.

• Why comprehensive testing (bloodwork, mineral analysis, gut health) can provide valuable insights.

• The dangers of toxic hair and personal care products, and how to make safer choices.

• Nutrition and lifestyle changes that made a difference for me: increasing protein and healthy carbs, using minerals and adaptogens, prioritizing rest, and reducing intense exercise during certain cycle phases.

• Practical tips: scalp massage with oils, red light therapy, regular trims, and being gentle with hair care routines.

• Encouragement for listeners: hair loss is not about vanity, but vitality. Don't give up—focus on restoring balance and supporting your body from within.

In this episode, I dive into a topic inspired by a listener's question: What are the new standards for women who crave wealth? My own definition of wealth and success has evolved dramatically over the past few years, and I share how that journey has shaped my business, my mindset, and my life.

Key Topics:

• The difference between leadership and "CEO energy," and why they aren't the same thing

• The myth of passive income and the realities of building sustainable, repeatable systems in business

• Why it's essential to create a business model that matches who you are now—not who you used to be

• The importance of profit over vanity metrics, and how to evaluate what's really working in your business

• Letting go of industry standards and defining wealth on your own terms

• The power of boundaries, clarity, and knowing what truly makes you feel wealthy (for me: time, space, support, and experiences)

• The value of mentorship and support tailored to your unique energy and business model

Today's episode is a deeply personal and practical conversation inspired by questions from my Instagram community. Recorded while on my speaking tour, I dive into the complex relationship between women's mental health and hormonal changes, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

Key Takeaways:

• You are not alone in your struggles—many women experience similar challenges.

• There's no shame in seeking help, whether through medication, therapy, or lifestyle changes.

• Understanding your body and its signals is empowering; knowledge is the first step to reclaiming your health.

• Perimenopause and menopause are not the beginning of decline, but a signal to rebuild and support your body in new ways.

• Community and connection are vital—reach out, share your story, and support one another.
