In this episode of Her Starring Role, our host Michele Lamoureux explores the concept of capacity—your day‑to‑day life force, energy, and bandwidth—and how it shifts through different seasons of life. She shares three practical ways to gently expand your capacity so there's more left for you at the end of the day:

1. Carving out 30 minutes daily for something that matters only to you (health, creativity, learning, or connection).
2. Setting boundaries around what you say yes and no to, especially habitual obligations that drain your energy.
3. Prioritizing quality sleep by creating supportive routines and environments that help you truly rest.

This episode is an invitation to honor your current season, reclaim your bandwidth, and intentionally add more joy, play, and meaning into your everyday life—without comparison or pressure to "do it all."

In this episode of Her Starring Role, host Michele Lamoureux welcomes back Elaine Lin Hering, speaker, facilitator, and author of Unlearning Silence: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully. Together they explore what it really means for women to unlearn silence—especially in business—and reclaim their "starring role" in work and life. Elaine shares how self-silencing shows up in our careers, relationships, and health, and why it's not a confidence problem but a systemic one. They discuss being sidelined at work, getting credit for your ideas, navigating broken workplace systems, honoring your inner voice, and making intentional choices that align with your values, well-being, and season of life. This is a powerful conversation for any woman who feels overextended, under-recognized, or ready to let her light shine on her own terms.

In this episode, Dr. Ingrid Clayton, licensed clinical psychologist, transpersonal psychology specialist, and author of Fawning joins us to discuss her groundbreaking insights into an often-overlooked trauma response: fawning.

Most of us are familiar with the three F's of trauma—fight, flight, or freeze—but there's a fourth response, fawning, that's rarely discussed. Unlike codependency or people-pleasing, fawning is a survival strategy that drives us to seek approval, appease, and draw closer to people who may hurt us—even when it's detrimental to our well-being.

If you've ever found yourself apologizing to those who hurt you, obsessing over approval, befriending bullies, or suppressing your voice to maintain peace, this episode is for you. Dr. Clayton offers hope, tools, and compassion for anyone ready to break free from the cycle of chronic fawning and step into their authentic life.

key topics:

· Defining Fawning: Beyond People-Pleasing and Codependency (0:00)

· The Power of Relational Therapy for Complex Trauma (8:59)

· How to Recognize Fawning: It's Not Just 'Not That Deep' (15:05)

Midlife doesn't just change your body — it can completely upend your sex life. In this episode, I sit down with board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, Dr. Maria Sophocles. She is the author of The Bedroom Gap and is on the show to unpack what's really happening when estrogen declines, desire shifts, and intimacy starts to feel complicated. We go beyond surface-level advice and talk honestly about biology, relationship dynamics, and the cultural conditioning that teaches women to prioritize everyone else's pleasure over their own. If sex has become uncomfortable, infrequent, or emotionally loaded, this conversation is for you. Please share it with a friend.
