In this episode, I sit down with Nikki Sapiro Vinckier for a powerful conversation that every woman in midlife needs to hear.

We dive into what it actually means to advocate for your health—especially in a season of life where so many women feel dismissed, confused, or told "everything looks normal" when they know something is off.

If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling unheard… this episode is going to hit home.

Nikki shares her perspective from both sides—working inside the medical system and advocating for patients—so you'll walk away feeling more confident, informed, and empowered to take control of your health.

We also talk about how to navigate hormone conversations, what questions to ask your provider, and why YOU being your own advocate might be the missing piece in finally getting answers.

✨ Inside this episode:

• Why so many women feel dismissed in the healthcare system

• How to advocate for yourself at doctor's appointments

• What to do if you're told "everything is normal" but you don't feel normal

• The biggest gaps in care for women in perimenopause

• How to feel confident asking for the support and testing you actually need

This conversation is about more than just information—it's about helping you trust yourself again.

Because you know your body better than anyone.

Listen now and start showing up as your own best advocate.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Danielle McGeough to talk about something I see ALL the time with the women we coach—burnout that isn't actually about doing too much… it's about being out of alignment. We dive into the difference between needing rest vs. needing a deeper reset, why so many high-achieving women feel stuck even when they're doing "all the right things," and how rigid routines (yes—even your workouts and nutrition plans) can start working against your hormones and nervous system. Danielle introduces her RISE Ritual Method and shares simple, practical ways to reconnect with yourself so your habits actually support your life instead of draining it. If you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly pushing but not feeling fulfilled… this conversation will hit home in the best way. Follow Danielle here:

Why do so many people lose weight… only to gain it back again? In this episode, I'm joined by brain and cognitive scientist Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, author of the upcoming book Maintain: The Three Identity Shifts that Turn Temporary Weight Loss into Lasting Freedom. We dive into why the real challenge of weight loss actually begins after the weight comes off, and why willpower alone almost always fails when it comes to food. Dr. Thompson why some people are more susceptible to food addiction than others, and what the science says about long-term weight loss success and the three identity shifts that help people finally break the cycle of losing and regaining weight for good. We also talk about how GLP-1 medications can help those with addictive tendencies around food. Learn more from Dr Susan Thompson here:

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right — eating well, working out, staying consistent — and the scale still won't budge (or keeps creeping up)? You're not crazy… and you're not broken.

In this episode, I'm breaking down three clear signs your hormones may be affecting your weight loss, especially if you're over 35 and feel like the old rules just don't work anymore.

I'm sharing:

• The most common symptoms I see in women with hormone-related weight loss resistance

• Why dieting harder and doing more cardio can actually make things worse

• How gut health, stress, and recovery play a massive role in fat loss

• And the exact framework I use with clients to help them lose weight without extreme dieting or burnout

I'm also sharing parts of my own story — including how I gained 50 pounds in a year despite doing "everything right," and what finally helped me reverse it.

If you feel stuck, frustrated, or like your body isn't responding the way it used to… this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next.

If you've ever been curious about tracking macros but felt overwhelmed, intimidated, or unsure where to start — this episode is for you. I'm breaking down exactly how to begin tracking macros the right way, especially for women in perimenopause. We'll start with why your first step is simply tracking what you already eat (no changes required), how to evaluate that data without judgment, and how to adjust calories strategically if progress stalls. I'll walk you through setting protein the right way for your body, explain why small changes matter more than drastic cuts after 40, and share simple tips like pre-tracking food to make macros feel doable instead of obsessive. This is your all-inclusive, no-pressure guide to using macros as a tool for awareness, confidence, and sustainable fat loss — not restriction.

In this episode, I sit down with work-life balance coach Rebecca Olsen to talk about why the holidays feel so overwhelming for so many women - and what to do about it. We unpack the invisible load moms carry this time of year, the outdated expectations we quietly inherit, and the patterns that lead to overcommitting and burning out. Rebecca shares simple, doable mindset shifts and micro-habits that help moms get grounded fast, reclaim their energy, and design a holiday season that actually feels good for their immediate family. If you've ever entered December already exhausted and want to enter the New Year feeling different, this conversation will feel like a permission slip to do things differently this year.
