  • 138 - It's Never Too Late to Find Yourself with Alexandra Potter

    In this episode, we sit down with internationally bestselling British author Alexandra Potter. Known for her brilliantly humorous and deeply heartfelt romantic comedies, Alexandra has made a career out of celebrating the messy, hilarious, and ultimately beautiful realities of starting over.

    We dive deep into the themes that have made her books beloved by millions around the world—from the fierce power of female friendship to finding love and purpose when life goes completely off-script. Alexandra shares the inspiration behind her smash-hit novel Confessions of a Forty-Something F##k Up the basis for the hit TV comedy Not Dead Yet, and her brand new 2026 release, So, I Met This Guy . . .

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • The Myth of Having It All Figured Out: Why it's perfectly okay (and completely normal) to feel like a "f##k up" or a work-in-progress at any age

    • Friendship: How platonic soulmates, road trips, and intergenerational friendships often save the day when your romantic life goes sideways.

    • Finding the Funny in the Fails: Alexandra's advice on using humor and wit to cope with life's unexpected detours, breakups, and major pivots.

    Whether you are starting a brand new chapter, leaning on your best friends to get through a tough week, or just in need of a good laugh and a reminder that you aren't alone, this conversation is a warm hug in podcast form.

  • 137 - Lessons From 50+ Stories of Sisterhood with Deborah Roberts

    Laugh, cry, and reflect with us as Deborah Roberts shares why, in a divided world, the bonds between sisters — and the women who become like sisters — may matter more than ever.

    She has reported from war zones, interviewed world leaders, and earned Peabody and Emmy Awards for her journalism — but ABC News 20/20 co-anchor Deborah Roberts says her most personal story yet begins at home. This week, Deborah joins us to talk about her new book, Sisters Loved and Treasured: Stories of Unbreakable Bonds, a warmhearted celebration of one of life's most enduring relationships.

    In Sisters Loved and Treasured, Deborah curates a collection of conversations, meditations, and anecdotes from her own sisters, celebrity friends, and everyday people alike, who share deeply personal accounts of how their relationships as sisters shaped their lives. She writes candidly about feeling lost in a big family, the joy and strain of sibling relationships, and the heartbreak of losing two sisters.

    The book features more than 50 personal stories from Viola Davis, Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Bush, Arianna Huffington, Octavia Spencer, and many more.

    But sisterhood, Deborah reminds us, isn't only defined by blood. The book also explores how sisterhood transcends biological lines — and how the bonds between women friends can be just as powerful and sustaining.

  • 136 - What Dying Taught Her About Living Fearlessly with Anita Moorjani

    Is illness just a physical manifestation of our inner fears? Can simply remembering who we truly are heal our physical bodies?

    This week, we are honored to welcome Anita Moorjani. After suffering from end-stage cancer, Anita crossed the threshold of death and entered an expanded state of consciousness. In that divine space, she learned that the universe is woven with unconditional love, and that we are all magnificent beings who only suffer because we have forgotten our true nature.

    In this spiritually expansive conversation, Anita breaks down the false paradigms of fear, guilt, and unworthiness that keep us sick and stuck. She explains how the afterlife operates outside of space and time, what her NDE taught her about our soul's purpose, and why you don't need to die to experience heaven on earth.

  • 135 - How to Reverse Your Midlife Strength Decline with Dr. Vonda Wright

    Did you know your body gives you a completely new skeleton every 10 years? It's true—but after age 40, the quality of that new bone depends entirely on the signals you send it today.

    In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright dives deep into the "Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause" and why the rapid drop in estrogen can lead to losing up to 20% of your bone density in just five years. But frailty is not your destiny. Dr. Wright breaks down the science of bone remodeling—the constant battle between your body's "demolition crew" (osteoclasts) and "construction crew" (osteoblasts)—and how to keep the builders winning.

    We're moving beyond the outdated advice of "just walk and take calcium." Dr. Wright shares the concepts from her book, Unbreakable, for building strong bones, the importance of impact training and the critical role of heavy lifting.

    Stop hoping for good bones and start building them. It's time to become unbreakable!

  • 134 - Lipedema: The Truth Behind Your "Stubborn Weight Gain" with Carolyn Baek & Tania Saiz

    Have you ever been told to "just eat less and move more," yet the weight on your legs and arms refuses to budge? In this episode, we shine a light on Lipedema, a chronic and often misunderstood fat disorder that affects millions of women worldwide but frequently goes undiagnosed.

    We dive deep into the reality of living with a condition that is more than just "stubborn fat." From the physical pain to the emotional toll of medical gaslighting, we explore Tania Saiz's patient journey from confusion to validation. Plus, we are joined by leading specialist, Carolyn Baek, to break down why Lipedema is so often missed, the specific diagnostic criteria you need to know, and the latest medical insights on management and surgery.

    Carolyn validates what patients have known all along: Lipedema fat is different. She explains the specific texture of "painful fat," and the groundbreaking treatments that are finally offering women their mobility—and their lives—back.

    This episode bridges the gap between patient suffering and medical solutions. It serves as a toolkit for anyone suspecting they have the condition or struggling to manage it.

  • 132 - How to Move Through Grief Without Breaking with Elena Brower

    Join us for a truly heartfelt and emotional conversation with Elena Brower, author of "Hold Nothing", an invitation to let go and come home to yourself. She is a painter, a poet, a mother, a teacher, a meditator and a healer. In this powerful episode, Elena invites us to share our most vulnerable selves (and we do) to uncover what it really means to "let go" and live peacefully.

    We learn how Elena's spiritual teachings, yoga practice and family have allowed her to evolve into the compassionate human she is – it was truly a gift to us to be in her graceful presence.

    Hearing her words of wisdom – especially around grief – helped us to unravel some of our own fears and guide us towards a life of peace and purpose.

    In addition to having an inspiring conversation, Elena's soft, quiet voice makes this a soothing listen for anyone needing more calm energy in their lives.

  • 131 - The Longevity Gap: Why Women Need More Protein with Liz Plosser

    Join us for this enlightening conversation with powerhouse fitness and wellness expert, Liz Plosser. Hear how she transitioned from Fitness Editor of a major magazine to starting her own podcast, "Lifting with Liz" and writing a Substack called "Best Case Scenario". Liz shares her passion for all things fitness, what her own routine looks like these days (you'll be impressed) and how she manages to keep it all together!

    We chat about how the fitness industry has changed with the introduction of GLP1s for weight loss as well as advancements in the research on women. Even though Liz has been in the health and wellness industry for decades, it wasn't until she started assessing her own diet (realizing she was under eating protein in a big way) and making modifications that she saw a tremendous difference in her performance and her results.

    Liz shares insights on how she stays motivated and consistent and also prioritizes recovery. This is a great listen for anyone looking for a little extra "nudge" to start taking their health seriously!

  • 130 - Why Your Body Can't Relax with Dr. Aimie Apigian

    Have you ever felt like no matter how much talk therapy you do, you're still stuck in the same cycles of anxiety, burnout, or chronic fatigue? According to Dr. Aimie Apigian, that's because trauma isn't just a psychological story we tell ourselves—it's a biological reality stored in our cells.

    In this deep-dive episode, we sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH, a double board-certified physician and the leading medical expert on the Biology of Trauma®. Dr. Aimie explains why traditional healing models often miss the mark by focusing only on the mind, while ignoring the physiological "stuckness" of the nervous system. We explore the concept of the "trauma body"—the physical manifestation of past overwhelm—and how our biology actually dictates our emotional and mental capacity.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Stress vs. Trauma: Why stress can be growth-promoting, but trauma acts as a biological injury that requires a different roadmap for repair.

    • The 5 Stages of Trauma Response: Moving beyond "fight or flight" to understand the full spectrum: startle, stress, the wall, freeze, and shutdown.

    • The "Functional Freeze" Trap: How many high-achievers are actually living in a state of "high-functioning freeze" and why their "drive" might actually be a survival response.

    • Moving to "Calm Alive": Dr. Aimie's signature framework for shifting the body out of survival mode and into a state of authentic safety and vitality.

    If you've been told your symptoms are "all in your head" or you've reached a plateau in your healing journey, this conversation will give you the science-backed tools to partner with your body and finally move from surviving to thriving.
