Over the past year, I’ve been on quite a journey. I'm down 43 pounds, with more energy, a healthy libido, and a renewed sense of self. But it wasn’t always this way. For too long, I struggled with depression and anxiety, not realizing they were among the 80+ possible symptoms of menopause.

In this very special 8-part series, I’m joined by board-certified nurse practitioner Kimberly Cunningham, founder of Cunningham Clinic, author, educator, and national trainer in hormone therapy and aesthetics. Kimberly shares her personal healing story after a devastating pelvic injury, and together we open the conversation about what it really takes to thrive after 40.

In today’s episode, we explore:

• Why so many women suffer in silence with perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
• Kimberly’s inspiring story of resilience and recovery through hormone therapy.
• The truth about testosterone and estrogen, and why women need both.
• How hormone replacement can protect against disease and restore vitality.

If you’ve ever thought, “Is this normal?” when facing changes in your body, this conversation is for you. You are not alone, and you don’t have to suffer!

As of March 15th, I'll be embarking on a one-month sabbatical to hit the reset button and nourish my own well-being. I want to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support throughout my podcasting journey.

This is not a goodbye to our community, but a brief pause to recharge and return with even more inspiration on how I want to serve. Please don't tune out - we have incredible episodes lined up through the month of February, so let's make it a farewell to remember.

This may seem like a surprise, but I ask you to trust that it's all part of a bigger picture of self-love and kindness. Join me in celebrating the power of taking a break and prioritizing self-care!

Speaking of which - it can be easy to forget to be kind - not just to others, but to ourselves sometimes. So, today I am thrilled to be joined by THREE amazing women to explore this concept: Andrea Herbert, Iffie Jennings and Tiffany Wachtler. This episode dives deep into reflections on kindness, the importance of self-love, and how to blend personal and professional lives. Let’s dig in!

In a recent conversation, Joan Rogliano, a nationally recognized real estate divorce specialist (AND a significant presence in my life), and I discussed the importance of community and the crucial support needed during challenging life transitions such as divorce. Throughout our dialogue, Joan shared valuable insights and personal experiences that offer guidance to anyone currently navigating a major life change.

Divorce tends to be a challenging and emotionally draining experience. The entire process can leave you feeling lost and isolated. But what if there was a way to find support and build a community during this difficult time? That's exactly what Joan Rogliano aims to do today with this conversation, and everyday with her business, Rogliano Real Estate Group. Sit back and get ready to be nourished by this beautiful conversation.

You might need your headphones for this one! 😂 Today, I have the absolute pleasure of talking with Amber Joy Simon, a former HR executive turned CEO of QUIVR, a platform dedicated to sexual wellness and education. 

Our very spicy conversation discusses the importance of pursuing pleasure regardless of relationship status or age. Amber debunks some popular myths about sex and pleasure, we discuss the importance of consent, and she advises you on the importance of open communication in relationships in the face of changing hormones and physiological shifts. 

Amber also emphasizes the need for self-love, self-pleasure, and dispels taboos around female masturbation. We’re going to address the complexities faced by women during different stages of life, in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond, as well as the importance of sexual education for both men and women. Be ready to expand your mind and be sure to visit QUIVR, as soon as you’re done listening!

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Lisa Givens, a remarkable woman who defied conventional career paths. Transitioning from a successful tech career to becoming the proud owner of her private chef business, Lisa's journey is nothing short of inspiring.

Join me in exploring her transformative story – a testament to the endless possibilities that unfold when one courageously follows their heart and embraces the beauty of reinvention.
