Brent welcomes wellness advocate and content creator Abbie Crane (House of Abbie) for a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation on fitness, perimenopause, parenting, and personal reinvention.

A mother of three and soon-to-be grandmother, Abbie shares how she’s entering a new phase of life with intention—using strength training, hormone health, and daily movement to stay empowered and energized. They discuss how her upbringing shaped her approach to wellness, what shifted for her in her 40s, and how women can reclaim their vitality at any stage.

Abbie opens up about her hormone replacement therapy journey, the realities of midlife, and why strength isn’t just about the body—it’s a mindset. She also talks about raising boys in the digital age, working with functional medicine, and the spiritual power of Yoga Nidra. This one’s about resilience, evolution, and creating a life you actually want to live.
