Nicky Smith (AKA Nicky Styles) is a fashion stylist and Emmy-nominated costume designer who has worked on TV shows such as The Americans, Ramy, and Pose. Cheri Paige Fogleman is a celebrity trainer and fitness instructor who teaches on the live, daily fitness show, Daily Burn 365. Both are in their 40's and Cheri is TTC (an acronym for "trying to conceive"), while Nicky is grappling with fibroids.  We're sure you will enjoy their range of perspectives, from using an insurance company fertility allowance for banking embryos to adopting an attitude of "wait and see and accept that all is as it should be". Tune in and learn about the de-stressing benefits of weed, what it means to channel "your inner Brad", and find out just how many acronyms we can squeeze into an episode.

Functional nutritionist Kristin Johnson and functional health coach Maria Claps are the co-founders of Wise and Well, where they work with peri-menopausal and menopausal women in both one-on-one and group formats to create fundamental hormonal and whole health transformations. They joined our conversation "feeling salty", and we got to reap the benefits as they went off on how access to HRT is impaired by the Big Pharma-controlled government, how low Estradiol should NOT be taken lightly because it puts you at risk for cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and osteoporosis, AND how the "mommy wine" and Cheetos need to GO. Whether or not you agree with them on that last directive, it is empowering AF to listen to women who don't tiptoe around their strong opinions and who take action to help people in the process. There is also plenty of fun to be had as Ellie and Julia discuss whether packing for a vacation should include collagen supplements or a bikini, and how penises on TV can be hypnotic.

Botox. Injectables. Fillers. Some of us get them and some of us don't, but most of us have opinions and MANY of us have misinformation. Join us for a fantastic chat with Jennifer DeMaio, a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist (CANS) who is the founder and CEO of FACE Aesthetic Artistry, a medical aesthetics and medical-grade skincare practice. Listen as she teaches Julia things she didn't know about when and when NOT to wash her face, debunks Ellie's theory that Botox might make her face explode like a can of SpaghettiOs, and throws out terms like "blepharospasm" and "festoons" in a way that makes us all tingly inside. Whether you plan to age as naturally and gracefully as possible, or whether you want all of the needles in all of the places, this episode is for you.

Jennifer Weedon-Palazzo, creator of MomCave TV,  and Monique Cupid of Brown Skin Green Beauty are both brilliant content creators who are going through "some sort of pausal thing". Jennifer's mission to provide a community for moms who need a humorous outlet and Monique's drive to encourage women of color to be proactive in their health by using clean and nontoxic makeup and skincare are going strong, regardless of the fact that no doctor has offered them solutions for their night sweats and hormonal mood swings. Join us as we chat with them about the movie musicals that made us, the discovery that there are no grownups, and the most important topic of all: what does the word "panoply" mean and how should we pronounce it?

German-born and UK-based Dr. Mandy Leonhardt may have a youthful face and a calm demeanor, but she is tired of putting up with bullsh*t. She inspires other women to take proper care of themselves via her integrative and holistic menopause clinic Hormone Equilibrium, hosting England's first Menopause Cafe, and by simply saying no to things she doesn't want to do. (Saying "no"...  what a revelation!) In our delightful chat with Mandy we discuss habit stacking, people-pleasing, and all different kinds of buckets.

We know what you're thinking. Buckets???

Just listen, Kittens. All will be explained.

Michelle and Joan MacDonald broke the internet after Michelle, a body builder and transformation coach, guided her then 70-year-old mother through a process that resulted in life-changing weight loss and the subsequent elimination of a slew of health problems. Joan's before and after photos can be found at Train with Joan, and you should take a peek before listening to understand the full impact of what these women achieved together. This is our first chat with a mother-daughter pairing, and we couldn't have found more mind-blowing specimens. Now excuse us while we go lift something...

Who would think that an otolaryngologist could make us giggle like 12 year-olds at a slumber party, but that's exactly what happened with the fabulous Dr. Linda Dahl. You will hear a great deal of cackles, guffaws, and even a hearty snort as we cover the journey of this incredible woman who has excelled at enough careers to span several lifetimes. Learn about her work as one of the only female ringside fight doctors, her path from breastfeeding frustration to becoming an expert and author of two books on the topic, and her unique approach to confidence via the advice of a patient who also happened to be a dominatrix. Best of all, she reminds us that the symptoms of perimenopause can be so confusing that even a medical expert can be convinced that she's dying. Dying... of menopause.

Did you know that hormonal changes affect the sound of your voice? Did you know that the vagina and the throat are structurally similar? Did you know that the speculum your gyno uses was invented as a result of experiments done on enslaved Black women? Are we starting to sound like the little boy from Jerry Maguire? Is that an outdated reference, or is it the perfect reference for our target demographic? Don't answer any of that. Instead, listen to us chat with Cate Frazier-Neely and Alison Crockett, both singers and vocal teachers who have fascinating things to teach us about how our throats are affected by this party we call peri.

We thought we were going to talk to Kelly Kane about her 20+ years as a Pilates trainer and ease into a discussion about her new courses in female sexuality and aging, and while we did talk about these things, the conversation took twists and turns we never could have foreseen. We touched on topics such as crystals for the vagina, fishing rubber tires out of the rivers of Vermont, and Ellie and Julia's shared history of nakedness. What better way to start 2022? We're already calling it The Year of the C-Spot. (You'll have to listen to find out exactly what that means.)

We've been podcasting for 6 months now, so we decided to use this final episode of 2021 to review our primary perimenopausal complaints  and discuss what remedies we have tried, what has worked, and what has not. We also have FUN, surprising each other with questions and divulging dirty secrets that we didn't know about each other, even after 27 years of friendship. Tune in to learn things about Ellie and Julia that you never knew. Naughty things. Blackmail-worthy things.
