What if the next level of your life doesn't require you to do more—but asks you to finally release what no longer belongs?

After three years of conversations about women's health, leadership, personal growth, advocacy, confidence, purpose, and reinvention, Dr. Corey Winn is closing the chapter on Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn.

But this final episode isn't really about ending a podcast. It's about something so many high-achieving women struggle to give themselves permission to do: recognize when something has served its purpose and choose to move forward without needing to justify, prolong, or force it. Dr. Corey shares why she made the decision to stop producing the show, what she has learned about intentionally protecting her time and energy, and why walking away from something you've invested years into can sometimes be one of the clearest expressions of growth.

And she knows exactly where she's going next. Her work continues through The Carl Edward Foundation, advocating for people living with neurologic diagnoses and disabilities, and through her commitment to helping women navigate midlife with greater strength, knowledge, confidence, and agency with her work with HER Fitness LLC. From women's health and strength training to longevity, self-advocacy, leadership, and purpose, this next chapter is about putting her energy where she believes it can create the greatest impact.

If you've been questioning a business, project, commitment, identity, relationship with success—or simply a version of yourself you may have outgrown—this final conversation is your reminder:

You are allowed to be grateful for what was and still be ready for what's next.

Thank you for listening, sharing, growing, questioning, and evolving alongside Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn for the past three years.

What if the changes you've been blaming on stress, aging, or a lack of discipline are actually signs that your body is entering an entirely new season?

Welcome to Part 1 of The Midlife Reset, a four-part Empower HER Radio series designed to help women understand what is happening in their bodies during perimenopause and midlife—and what they can actually do about it.

In this foundational episode, Dr. Corey Winn, Doctor of Physical Therapy, strength specialist, and founder of HER Fitness LLC, gets personal about her own experience with perimenopause: migraines returning after nearly a decade, waking at 2 a.m. and being unable to fall back asleep, hair loss, brain fog, temperature changes, and the frustrating realization that even as a healthcare professional, no one had taught her what to expect.

Because perimenopause isn't just about hot flashes or your period changing.

Hormonal changes in midlife can show up through your brain, sleep, mood, cardiovascular health, metabolism, muscle and bone health, gut health, skin, hair, energy, and more. And when you don't understand what's happening, it's easy to assume you need to eat less, exercise harder, become more disciplined—or simply accept that you're "getting older."

This episode challenges that narrative.

You'll learn how declining and fluctuating estrogen can influence multiple systems throughout the body, why maintaining muscle becomes increasingly important for metabolism, insulin sensitivity, strength, longevity, and healthy aging, and why symptoms like brain fog, irritability, poor sleep, heart palpitations, joint stiffness, bloating, constipation, changing exercise tolerance, and hair loss deserve a bigger conversation.

Most importantly, Dr. Corey shares why women's health advocacy matters. If something feels different in your body, you deserve a healthcare practitioner who listens, asks better questions, considers the whole picture, and helps you understand your options.

Midlife isn't the beginning of decline.

It can be the moment you finally understand your body well enough to build the strength, health, energy, and longevity you want for the decades ahead.

• Why perimenopause symptoms can begin earlier than many women expect
• The connection between estrogen and brain, heart, muscle, bone, metabolic, and gut health
• Symptoms of perimenopause that women may not recognize as hormone-related
• Why muscle becomes increasingly important during midlife
• How hormonal changes may affect recovery, strength, body composition, and energy
• Why "eat less and exercise more" isn't an adequate strategy for every woman in midlife
• How to begin advocating for yourself when you're not getting meaningful answers
• Why this phase of life requires a different strategy—not simply more effort

This is Part 1 of a four-part series on Empower HER Radio. Over the next four weeks, we're going deeper into the conversations women deserve to be having about their health, bodies, strength, and choices in midlife.

If this episode made you think, Wait...this could explain so much, send it to another woman who needs this conversation.

Subscribe to Empower HER Radio so you don't miss Part 2, share this episode with the women in your life, and connect with Dr. Corey to continue the conversation.

Your body is changing.

That doesn't mean your best years are behind you.

It means it's time to understand what your body needs now—and move forward from there.

What happens when you're still showing up as the high-achieving woman everyone knows—but privately, you're thinking, "What the hell is happening to me?"

In this deeply personal episode of Empower HER Radio, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with her husband, Peter Winn, PT, McKenzie Spine Specialist and owner of Winn Performance LLC, for an honest conversation about perimenopause, marriage, libido, rage, brain fog, mental load, sleep deprivation, hormone replacement therapy, communication, and what it means to learn each other again in midlife.

For Corey, the changes started years before she had language for them. Migraines returned. Sleep disappeared. Her fuse became shorter. Her libido became almost nonexistent. Words disappeared mid-sentence. The mental load became harder to carry. And yet, like so many high-achieving women, she kept functioning—mothering, treating patients, building businesses, managing life and assuming she simply needed to handle it better.

Until she realized: she didn't feel like herself anymore.

Peter was watching those changes from the other side of the marriage. He saw the frustration, exhaustion, disconnection and loss of intimacy—but without understanding perimenopause, much of it could easily be explained away as stress, work, parenting or simply a difficult season of life.

In this raw husband-and-wife conversation, they unpack what it felt like when Corey told Peter on their tenth wedding anniversary, "We're not okay." They talk openly about low libido and rejection, irrational rage, unfinished sentences, invisible mental load, the instinct to "fix" instead of communicate, and how two people can love each other deeply while experiencing the same marriage very differently.

They also explore what changed when they finally had language for what was happening.

Because understanding didn't mean using perimenopause as an excuse. It meant being able to recognize what was hormonal, what required boundaries, what needed medical support, what required personal responsibility—and what simply needed a conversation.

Peter shares one of the most important lessons he has learned as a partner:

Don't take everything personally. Get curious. Believe her.

And Corey shares why HRT became an important part of feeling human again for her while also acknowledging that hormones were never the entire answer. Better communication, boundaries, self-awareness, medical advocacy and learning to honor her own capacity have transformed not only how she experiences midlife—but how they experience their marriage.

This episode is for the ambitious woman who is accomplishing incredible things while silently wondering where the woman she used to know went.

It's also for the husband, partner or person who loves her and is wondering:

"Why is she different?" "Why doesn't she want sex anymore?" "Why is she so overwhelmed?" "Why is she suddenly saying no?" "And how do I support her when I can't fix this?"

The answer may begin with understanding that she isn't simply becoming "difficult."

She may be becoming different. More discerning. More aware. More intentional. And more unwilling to abandon herself to keep everything else functioning.

And maybe the goal of midlife isn't getting the old version of her back.

Maybe it's learning how to love, understand and communicate with the woman she's becoming.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Perimenopause symptoms that can be mistaken for stress or burnout
• Marriage and relationship changes during midlife
• Low libido, intimacy and feeling rejected by your partner
• Sleep disruption and the impact of chronic exhaustion
• Rage, irritability and emotional regulation in perimenopause
• Brain fog, word-finding difficulty and cognitive changes
• The invisible mental load carried by high-achieving women
• Boundaries, people-pleasing and changing capacity in midlife
• Corey's personal experience with hormone replacement therapy
• Why communication matters more than trying to "fix" your partner
• Supporting a woman who feels dismissed by the healthcare system
• Why partners need support and understanding too
• Personal responsibility alongside hormonal understanding
• Creating a stronger, more playful and connected relationship through change

If this conversation sounds like your life, share this episode with your partner. Listen together. Use it to start the conversation you may not have known how to begin.

And if there is a woman in your life who keeps saying, "I just don't feel like myself," believe her. Ask questions. Get curious. Help her advocate for the care and support she needs.

Subscribe to Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn for more honest conversations about women's health, perimenopause, midlife reinvention, relationships, longevity, leadership, personal growth and what it means to create an extraordinary life without losing yourself in the process.

Because this season isn't the end of who you were.

It may be the beginning of becoming far more fully who you are.

What if some of the biggest breakthroughs in healing aren't about changing who you are—but changing how your brain is able to think?

Psilocybin and microdosing have rapidly become some of the most talked-about topics in mental health, trauma recovery, neuroscience, and personal growth. Yet beneath the headlines, misinformation, and stigma lies a much deeper conversation—one rooted in curiosity, research, and the incredible capacity of the human brain to adapt and heal.

In this episode of Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn, Dr. Winn sits down with licensed mental health professional, CEO, and educator Charity Mills for a thoughtful, evidence-informed conversation about the evolving science of psilocybin-assisted wellness. Together, they explore what microdosing is (and isn't), how neuroplasticity influences the way we think and behave, why trauma often keeps us stuck in repetitive patterns, and what current research is revealing about the future of mental health treatment. This episode isn't about promoting quick fixes—it's about empowering women with education so they can make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Whether you're navigating chronic stress, burnout, trauma recovery, personal reinvention, or you're simply fascinated by emerging neuroscience, this conversation will challenge assumptions, expand your perspective, and leave you asking better questions about what healing can look like.

• What psilocybin and microdosing actually are—and common misconceptions surrounding them • How neuroplasticity influences mindset, habits, and long-term behavioral change • The relationship between trauma, the nervous system, and brain health • Why curiosity matters when evaluating emerging research in women's health and mental wellness • How therapeutic integration differs from simply seeking symptom relief • The importance of informed, evidence-based conversations around mental health innovation

If you're a woman committed to personal growth, leadership, longevity, emotional resilience, and becoming the healthiest version of yourself, this episode offers an intelligent, balanced conversation that invites both curiosity and critical thinking.

What if the challenge you've spent years trying to overcome is actually preparing you for the impact you're meant to make?

In this episode of Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn, I sit down with Air Force veteran, cybersecurity professional, and entrepreneur Tenika Ashley, founder of Butta Tea'ze Organix, for a conversation about resilience, purpose, women's health, and what happens when you stop waiting for the perfect plan and start trusting your own story.

Tenika shares how her personal struggle with a chronic skin condition led her to question conventional solutions, explore natural alternatives, and ultimately build a business dedicated to helping others feel confident in their own skin. But this conversation goes far beyond skincare. It's about reinvention, faith, perseverance, and discovering that some of life's greatest challenges can become the very foundation of your purpose.

Whether you're navigating your own health journey, building a business, leading a family, or simply wondering what's next, this episode is a reminder that your experiences are never wasted. Sometimes the thing you've overcome becomes the very thing that allows you to serve others in a way no one else can.

• How Tenika transformed a personal health challenge into a purpose-driven business • The importance of advocating for yourself when your body is telling you something isn't right • Why confidence starts with caring for yourself from the inside out • Lessons from military service, entrepreneurship, and leadership • Building a business that creates both impact and opportunity • Why your greatest obstacle may become your greatest calling • The power of trusting your intuition, even when the path isn't clear

What happens when you know something has changed in your body—but you keep being told your labs are "normal" or that what you're experiencing is simply part of getting older?

For too many women, that's where the conversation ends.

In this episode of Empower HER Radio, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with functional medicine practitioner, nutritionist, educator, and yoga teacher Cindy Dupuie for a powerful conversation about perimenopause, menopause, hormone health, lab testing, and what it means to become an informed advocate for your own health.

Cindy shares how her own health journey changed the trajectory of her career and why looking at the whole woman—not simply isolated symptoms or a single lab value—can reveal a much bigger picture.

Together, Dr. Corey and Cindy explore the difference between being told your results fall within a "normal" range and understanding what may be optimal for you. They discuss why tracking changes over time matters, how hormones like estrogen and progesterone influence far more than hot flashes and periods, and why symptoms involving sleep, energy, mood, digestion, thyroid function, bone health, and more deserve thoughtful investigation.

They also dive into one of the most important conversations women can have about their healthcare: How do you advocate for yourself when you know something feels different?

Because you are allowed to ask more questions.

You are allowed to say, "That answer doesn't make sense to me."

You are allowed to ask, "What else could be contributing to this?" and "What are my options?"

And you are allowed to seek a practitioner who is willing to listen, investigate, and help you understand the full picture.

In this episode, you'll hear conversations about:

• Perimenopause and menopause symptoms that may be overlooked or dismissed • "Normal" lab ranges versus looking at your individual health history and trends • Thyroid testing and why women may want to ask questions about a more complete evaluation • The roles of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone throughout the body • Hormones, sleep, mood, energy, digestion, bone health, and longevity • The evolving conversation around hormone replacement therapy (HRT) • Why education can help women feel more confident in medical appointments • How to ask better questions and advocate for the care you need

This conversation is not about diagnosing yourself or chasing a perfect number. It's about becoming more informed, more curious, and more confident in the conversations you have about your body.

If you've ever thought, I know something has changed, but I don't know how to explain it—or who will actually listen,this episode is for you.

Your body is giving you information.

You deserve the knowledge to understand it—and the confidence to keep asking questions until you find the care and answers you need.

This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always discuss your personal health history, symptoms, medications, and treatment options with a qualified healthcare professional.

Last week I had the opportunity to teach a group of women about one of the most talked-about topics in healthcare today: GLP-1 medications.

As I was preparing this presentation, I realized this conversation was too important not to share here on the podcast.

Whether you've been prescribed Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or another GLP-1 medication—or you're simply trying to understand what all the headlines mean—my goal isn't to convince you to take one or avoid one, as a Doctor of Physical Therapy that is not my scope of practice. My goal is to help you make informed decisions with confidence and discuss all of your options with your healthcare practitioner.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I believe every woman deserves evidence-based information, not fear, shame, or social media opinions.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What GLP-1 medications actually do inside the body • Why they've become so popular for weight loss • The science behind appetite, food noise, and blood sugar regulation • The risks of muscle loss during rapid weight loss • Why protein and strength training become even more important while taking a GLP-1 • Common misconceptions about these medications • Questions every woman should ask before starting treatment • How to think beyond the number on the scale and focus on long-term health

This isn't about choosing sides.

It's about understanding the evidence, advocating for yourself, and creating a plan that supports your health for years to come.

If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to continue the conversation each week through The Weekly Exam Room, where we dive deeper into women's health, advocacy, and the science behind living stronger, longer, and with more confidence.

If you've been feeling exhausted, inflamed, bloated, or like your body isn't responding the way it used to, this conversation is for you.

As women move through perimenopause and beyond, many of the strategies that once worked simply stop delivering the same results. The good news? Your body isn't working against you—it may just need a different approach.

In this episode of Empower Her Radio, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with naturopathic physician, master herbalist, and Eat2Live founder Dr. Jessica Hoogendoorn to explore one of the most overlooked foundations of women's health: the gut.

Together, they unpack how gut health influences energy, hormones, inflammation, skin health, immunity, mood, and overall vitality—and why supporting your body from the inside out creates lasting change.

You'll also learn:

• Why gut health affects far more than digestion • Common habits that quietly contribute to inflammation • How to simplify supplements and focus on what actually matters • The connection between nutrition (especially protein), hormones, and healthy aging • Why what you put on your body matters just as much as what you put in it • Practical ways to begin supporting your health without feeling overwhelmed

Whether you're navigating perimenopause, looking for more energy, or simply wanting to feel like yourself again, this conversation offers practical, evidence-informed guidance you can begin applying today.

What if the version of you that feels finished is actually just paused? West Point graduate, Army veteran, mother of two, and founder of Flower n' Fox Doula and Penn n' Thread, Jannelle Allong- Diakabana, joins Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn to prove that reinvention isn't a detour — it's the plan. From combat leadership in Afghanistan to the loneliest six weeks of her life as a new mom, Jannelle's story is a masterclass in turning hard-won discipline into purpose-driven entrepreneurship.

In this raw and riveting conversation, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with Jannelle Allong-Diakabana — West Point graduate, Army officer, tech professional, and now founder of two thriving businesses — to unpack what it really means to reinvent yourself at every chapter of life. Jannelle takes listeners through her unlikely path: a competitive swimmer turned cadet, a platoon leader in Afghanistan, a new mom blindsided by the isolation of postpartum life, and ultimately, a woman who built a doula practice and a communications consultancy from the conviction that no one should go through transformation alone.

This episode goes deep into what it actually means to be a doula — the difference between a doula and a midwife, how birth advocacy protects mothers from medical coercion, and why having someone in the room who's there for you, not just the baby, can change the entire trajectory of a birth experience. Jannelle and Dr. Winn talk candidly about postpartum loneliness, the gap between what new mothers are told to expect and what they actually need, and how insurance coverage for doula support — through Medicaid, TRICARE, and fertility benefit companies — is finally starting to catch up to demand. It's a conversation for any woman who has ever felt like she was supposed to have it figured out and didn't.

Whether you're a high-achieving leader navigating your own next pivot, a mother craving more support than you were given, or an entrepreneur building something from scratch after a major life transition, this episode is a reminder: every ending is just a comma. The discipline, the sacrifice, the hard seasons — they were never detours. They were preparation.

If this conversation moved you, don't keep it to yourself — share it with the woman in your life who's standing at her own comma, wondering what comes next. Subscribe to Empower HER Radio with Dr. Corey Winn so you never miss a conversation built to challenge, equip, and elevate you.

If you're a high-achieving woman who's respected, relied on, and quietly running on empty — this rerelease of one of my favorite episodes was made for you.

In this conversation, I sit down with Brittany McNeal, founder of HERPlace, to talk about what it actually looks like to lead, build, and create community without burning yourself out in the process. As a military spouse, mother, and entrepreneur, Brittany carries a deep understanding of the invisible emotional labor that so many women in leadership, business, and constant transition absorb — often in silence.

We go there. We talk about burnout recovery, boundaries that protect your nervous system, and the moment Brittany's body forced her to stop — a wake-up call that completely reshaped how she leads, rests, and receives. She shares why women in business don't need more pressure or productivity systems. They need rooms that actually see them. And Brittany has built exactly that.

This episode speaks directly to the woman craving emotional regulation, sustainable success, feminine leadership, and wealth-building with integrity — rooted in truth, compassion, and lived experience.

If you're a woman in healthcare, leadership, corporate, or entrepreneurship who feels capped despite your capability… if you've been dimming your light in spaces that no longer fit… this episode is your permission to change rooms.

You are allowed to stop over-functioning. You are allowed to receive support. You are allowed to build impact and income without abandoning yourself.
