They discussed the importance of listening without interrupting, letting children problem-solve, and the need for mothers to prioritize self-care to model healthy boundaries for their children. Randy emphasized that women should fill their own cups first before being able to help others.

Amanda delivered a comprehensive talk about getting out of one's own way during perimenopause, presenting 10 key strategies to help women navigate hormonal changes and life transitions. She emphasized reframing perimenopause as an opportunity for personal growth rather than a problem to be fought, and discussed the importance of listening to one's body, setting boundaries, and seeking help rather than trying to be perfect. Amanda shared personal experiences about weight gain, emotional challenges, and the need to adjust lifestyle habits, including changing exercise routines, sleep patterns, and nutrition to better suit middle-aged bodies. She stressed the importance of confidence coming from action rather than waiting for motivation, and highlighted the value of small consistent habits over dramatic lifestyle overhauls. The talk concluded with Amanda promoting her "Expansion Society" community for women in perimenopause, which provides support through workouts, nutrition guidance, and supplements to help members create healthier, more confident versions of themselves.

Amanda discussed the importance of setting boundaries, particularly during perimenopause when hormones fluctuate and energy is limited. She shared personal examples of establishing boundaries with family gatherings, work commitments, and friendships to protect her energy and prioritize herself, her family, and her dogs. Amanda emphasized that boundaries don't need to be mean or harsh, but rather honest communications about one's limitations and priorities, especially when dealing with FOMO (fear of missing out) and the natural energy constraints of perimenopause.
