Tired of letting self-doubt hold you back from the life you actually want?

Elaine Kramer, author of How to Change Mindset to Boost Confidence, joins the show to share how she joined the military at 34 (against everyone's advice), deployed three times, earned a doctorate, and rebuilt her confidence after divorce, all while raising four kids. With 22 years of military experience and a Doctor of Education degree, Elaine brings battle-tested strategies for overcoming fear and self-doubt.

We dig into what it really takes to silence the voices telling you "you can't," why waiting for permission keeps you stuck, and how to build unshakeable confidence through action, not affirmation alone. Elaine opens up about writing her book in secret, setting standards in relationships, and teaching women over 40 to turn their passions into income.

Tune in to learn how to stop proving yourself to others and start taking courageous action toward the life you deserve.

BEST MOMENTS:

"I wanted to set an example for my kids that you can do whatever you want to do despite what others think that you can or can't do."

"Don't wait for permission. Give yourself permission to do it. Because if it's an idea or dream that you have, that means you've got the desire to do it."

"Confidence comes from experience, comes from practice. You're not going to be confident about something until you actually do it and see that, yes, you can do it."

"You can either be a victim of those circumstances or you can adapt and overcome and find another solution."

Have you ever thought you were having a heart attack, only to realize it was an anxiety attack brought on by hormonal changes?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deidra Manns, an integrative physical therapist, life coach, and certified menopause health coach who knows firsthand what it's like to navigate menopause after cancer treatment. We talk about the 40-60 symptoms that can show up during this transition—from brain fog and sleep disturbances to joint pain and vaginal dryness. Dr. Deidra shares her personal story of mourning her reproductive years and explains why perimenopause is the gateway to accelerated aging for women. We dig into why hormone replacement therapy is only about 10% of the solution and how lifestyle changes make up the other 90%.

If you're in perimenopause, postmenopause, or just want to be prepared for what's coming, this episode is packed with information you need to hear.

BEST MOMENTS:

"Your body is not going to be operating the same way as it did before you started the perimenopausal process. It's almost like there's a body before perimenopause and there's a body after perimenopause."

"Perimenopause is the gateway to accelerated aging for women."

"Suffering is optional during the perimenopause menopause process. It's optional."

"90% of what you do and how you treat your body is your lifestyle and what you put in your mouth, what you think, how you manage your stress."

"What you decide to do right now in these years of your life, during your midlife years is going to directly impact your quality of Life in your 70s, 80s, and 90s."

"Lifestyle changes are a little bit at a time. They're incremental. And so it's a marathon. It is not a race. It's not a sprint."
