In this deeply reassuring and informative episode of Thirty, Flirty, and Panicking, host Kelsey Murphy sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, fertility expert, and author of The Lucky Egg, for an honest, grounding conversation about fertility, timelines, and the mental load so many women carry in silence.

Together, they unpack what most of us were never taught about reproductive health — from what actually matters in your 20s, 30s, and 40s, to when (and why) it’s helpful to seek support, and how to approach fertility decisions with clarity rather than fear.

Dr. Lucky shares both clinical expertise and personal insight from her own IVF journey, offering perspective on common misconceptions, the realities of the biological clock, and why fertility outcomes are never a reflection of worth. Throughout the conversation, one message remains clear: you are not behind, your body is not broken, and knowledge is power — not pressure.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt anxious about “doing life on the right timeline,” overwhelmed by fertility noise online, or unsure what steps — if any — they should be taking right now.

• What women should actually know about fertility in their 20s, 30s, and 40s

• When to seek help from a medical professional

• Why egg count and egg quality are often misunderstood

• How IVF, egg freezing, and embryo freezing really work

• The emotional and mental health side of fertility journeys

• Why fertility challenges are not a personal failure

• How partners (including men) factor into reproductive health

• What to focus on now if pregnancy is a future goal

Whether motherhood is something you want now, later, or simply hope to understand better, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a much-needed exhale.

In this episode of Thirty, Flirty, and Panicking, Kelsey Murphy sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz — bestselling author of Age Like a Girl, and women’s health expert — for an informative, perspective-shifting conversation about aging, hormones, and the female brain.

Dr. Pelz has spent decades studying functional medicine, women’s health, and hormonal transitions, and in this episode, she breaks down what’s actually happening in women’s bodies and brains as they move through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond — and why so many of the changes women experience are misunderstood.

Rather than viewing aging as decline, Dr. Mindy reframes this chapter as a biologically intelligent redesign. She explains how shifts in hormones and brain chemistry are not random or punitive, but purposeful… designed to reveal a more authentic version of who we are and to help us release what no longer serves us. As she shares in Age Like a Girl, these changes are happening for us, not to us, allowing women to step into greater clarity, confidence, and power as life evolves.

In this conversation, Dr. Pelz breaks down:

• ​How women’s brains change at different stages of life — and why those shifts influence how we think, feel, and show up
• ​What happens to hormones during perimenopause and menopause, and how those changes affect mood, memory, and motivation
• ​The lifestyle changes that can help support women through hormonal transitions
• ​How women of all ages can better understand, support, and advocate for themselves — and one another — through change
• ​How to support someone you love through life’s shifts

This episode isn’t about fear or quick fixes. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface — and giving women language, context, and compassion for experiences they’re often told to quietly endure.

Whether you’re feeling foggy, overwhelmed, burned out, or simply sensing that something is shifting, this conversation helps explain why — and offers a powerful reframe of what’s possible on the other side. No matter what season you’re in, this episode invites you to see aging not as something to resist, but as an opportunity to live with more intention, authenticity, and ease.

This week on Thirty, Flirty, and Panicking, Kelsey sits down with Being° Coach Sarita Walsh for a grounding conversation about slowing down, interrupting intrusive thoughts, and reconnecting with who you really are beneath the noise of comparison, pressure, and expectation. In a world that constantly asks us to rush, perform, and figure everything out, Sarita helps us explore what happens when we pause long enough to notice our inner world, and make choices from a place of clarity, not fear.

Sarita’s approach is thoughtful and introspective, yet the tools she shares are remarkably practical and immediately usable. Together, she and Kelsey explore what it means to challenge long-held beliefs, build a values-led life, regulate your nervous system, and create a future that feels aligned, not recycled from the past. If you’re reinventing yourself, rebuilding after loss, or simply craving more presence and self-understanding, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

This conversation was recorded back in May and intentionally saved for a post-launch episode... and we can't wait to share it!
