What if weight loss didn’t have to mean cutting carbs, counting every calorie, or starting over every Monday?

Today’s guest, Amanda Nighbert, RD, is here to show you a better way.

A registered dietitian with over 20 years of clinical experience, Amanda is the creator of the wildly popular LEAN program (Living Energized and Nourished), which helps women in midlife lose weight in a way that’s actually sustainable—no extreme diets, no all-or-nothing thinking.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why 1200-calorie diets and low-carb rules don’t work long-term

• How to fuel fat loss with realistic, everyday meals

• The protein mistake most women are making

• And how to stabilize cortisol and insulin for lasting results

Amanda breaks it all down clearly and realistically—so you can stop spinning your wheels and start supporting your body in a way that works for this season of life.

What if the answer to burnout, brain fog, and hormone chaos isn’t less stress… but better stress?

This week, I’m joined by Jeff Krasno —author of Good Stress, host of the top-rated podcast Commune, and co-founder of Commune, a revolutionary digital wellness platform that’s helped millions rethink how they live, heal, and grow.

At 50, Jeff was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Instead of giving in to decline, he chose to radically change his life—through cold plunges, fasting, heat, breathwork, tough conversations, and a deep dive into the science of resilience. What happened next was nothing short of transformation.

Jeff's approach is both deeply human and brilliantly backed by research—and it couldn’t be more relevant for women in midlife. If you've ever felt inflamed, exhausted, or stuck in a body that no longer feels like yours… this episode will meet you there, and hand you a way forward.

Today’s episode is one every woman needs to hear. 💥

I’m joined by the incredible Allison Tenney—former Division I athlete, collegiate soccer coach, strength and conditioning expert, and founder of The Den and Alpha strength programs for women.
Allison’s journey from high-level athlete to business owner to midlife strength coach is raw, powerful, and deeply relatable.

In this conversation, we dig into:

• How to rebuild your relationship with your body when life changes everything

• The truth about strength training in your 40s (and why heavy is relative)

• Why chasing motivation won't save you—and what actually will

• How to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and build a fitness practice that fits real life

• How unwinding toxic body standards can change everything about how you move, live, and feel

• Why community is the secret ingredient nobody talks about

Allison shares her powerful perspective on identity shifts, embracing enoughness, training smarter (not harder), and building autonomy over your health as you age. Her advice is practical, empowering, and honestly? Life-changing.

Whether you're picking up weights for the first time, feeling stuck after years of inconsistency, or just craving a new relationship with your strength—this episode will meet you where you are.

🎧 Hit play and let's change the conversation around aging, fitness, and self-worth—together.

This one is big.
Because while we’re managing our own hormone chaos, parenting doesn’t hit pause. And if you’re like me, raising kids while navigating perimenopause — you know it takes everything you’ve got.

Today’s guest is Greta Eskridge, author of “It’s Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn” and host of The Greta Eskridge Podcast. She’s a mom of four, a truth-teller, and a fierce advocate for connection over shame.

In this episode, we cover:

• 💻 What actually happens when our kids encounter porn (and they will)

• 🧠 How to prepare ourselves for hard conversations — without passing on shame

• ❤️ Why open dialogue creates emotional safety (and how to start today)

• 🙋‍♀️ What this has to do with us as women in midlife (spoiler: everything)

We’re not just caring for our own mental and hormonal health — we’re shaping the next generation. And these conversations? They matter more than ever. This episode is raw, grounding, and full of actionable wisdom. If you're parenting in the middle of your own upheaval, this one's for you.

🎧 Listen now and share it with a friend who’s in the thick of it too.

What would it be like to treat yourself as someone worth knowing?

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, I’m joined by the brilliant Lisa Olivera — therapist, writer, author, adoptee, mother, and lifelong seeker of depth and truth. Lisa’s work centers on the lifelong process of healing, self-compassion, and rewriting the stories we’ve been handed.

We go deep — from abandonment and shame to self-worth and presence. We talk about what it means to unravel from old beliefs, navigate the fear loops so many of us feel in midlife, and how motherhood (and perimenopause) can act as an initiation into a new version of ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from who you are, overwhelmed by your emotions, or stuck in a pattern you desperately want to change, this episode is your invitation back to yourself.

We talk about:

• Rewriting the stories we never consciously chose

• Why fear is often wisdom in disguise

• Inner child work and reparenting

• The trap of “going back to who you were”

• Self-compassion as a daily, gentle practice

• Why healing doesn’t mean perfection

You will walk away from this episode feeling seen, softened, and equipped with small, doable ways to meet yourself where you are.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Shahzadi Harper, a leading voice in women’s midlife health and founder of The Harper Clinic in London. Known as “The Perimenopause Doctor,” Dr. Harper is a medical doctor and hormonal health expert who blends conventional and lifestyle medicine to help women thrive through perimenopause and beyond.

This conversation is all about weight—specifically, the frustrating, stubborn weight gain so many women experience in perimenopause and the science behind why it happens. We cover the hottest topics in midlife wellness right now: intermittent fasting, insulin resistance, and GLP-1s like Ozempic and Mounjaro. Dr. Harper breaks down what actually works, what’s hype, and how to approach weight loss in this season of life with clarity and confidence.

We dive into how shifting hormones impact metabolism, how cortisol and stress affect blood sugar and fat storage, and why so many women feel like nothing is working—even when they’re doing everything “right.” You’ll also hear Dr. Harper’s take on microdosing GLP-1s—starting low and slow rather than jumping to a full dose—and how that can lead to better results with fewer side effects.

Whether you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or just trying to make sense of the chaos happening in your body—this one is for you.

Elle Rowley built Solly Baby from her living room with a Craigslist serger and turned it into a beloved brand. But in this conversation, we go beyond the business. We talk about what happens after the baby-wearing phase ends—when your kids get older, your identity shifts, and motherhood asks you to let go even more.

Elle shares why she believes the goal isn’t just to survive motherhood—but to allow it to transform you. We talk about the tension between creativity and caregiving, the grief of changing seasons, and how to stay curious in the cocoon.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re doing enough, and what might happen if they started trusting themselves more.
