Have you ever noticed how you’d never miss a work meeting or a hair appointment… but when it comes to your own health, it’s suddenly “not the right time?”

In this episode, I get real about what it means when women book calls with me - and then don’t show up. 

Sure, it wastes my time. But more importantly, it reveals a much bigger problem: 

You’re not showing up for yourself.

We’ll dive into:

• Why skipping out on commitments to yourself is deeper than “just being busy.”

• How breaking your word to yourself creates the same patterns that keep you stuck with weight, energy, and stress.

• What shifts the moment you treat your own health with the same respect you give everyone else.

This isn’t about guilt.  It’s about integrity. Your word to yourself matters. And when you start honoring it, everything changes.

If you’ve ever caught yourself putting your health at the bottom of the list, this one’s going to hit home.

The health and fitness industry is full of noise - from influencers manufacturing chaos for clicks - to coaches selling gimmicks and trendy angles. 

No wonder so many women are skeptical and ask: Is coaching just a scam?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s real and what’s BS:

• Why influencer drama is making them richer and you sicker

• The difference between scammy coaching and coaching that actually changes lives

• What real transformation looks like at midlife beyond quick fixes and fake “mindset hacks”

If you’ve ever wondered whether coaching is worth your trust or your time, this episode is for you.

Perimenopause Unfiltered: What’s Real, What’s Not

If you believed Instagram, you’d think perimenopause was nothing but a decade-long horror story of hot flashes, rage, and brain fog. The truth? Perimenopause is real — but the bigger issue is how the changes at this stage magnify everything else going on in your body.

In this episode, I share why symptoms feel more dangerous and impactful in your 40s and 50s, what estrogen shifts really mean for your metabolism, bones, heart, and brain, and why labeling everything as “just hormones” can actually steal your power.

Instead of panic and quick fixes, I’ll show you how to see perimenopause as a signal — a chance to protect your long-term health and start making changes that truly matter.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are everywhere right now — but are they really the solution for women over 40, or just another shiny trend?

In this episode, I share what I’ve seen firsthand with clients: women who saw zero results, women who lost muscle mass and ended up terrified about regaining weight, and women who learned how to use GLP-1s as a temporary tool — and then get off them faster, with healthier, sustainable results.

I’m also talking about something that really disturbs me: the current fad of coaches and influencers hyping these drugs as just another angle to sell themselves. Midlife women deserve better than gimmicks — they deserve real solutions that last.

If you’ve ever wondered whether GLP-1s are a quick fix or a true foundation for change, this one’s for you.

You’ve set the goals. You’ve made the intentions. But somehow… you still find yourself back in the pantry at 9 pm, skipping your workout, or saying “I’ll start again Monday.” It’s not because you’re weak. And it’s definitely not because you don’t want it badly enough. Reality: Your brain doesn’t act on intentions. It acts on identity. In this episode, I share the hidden reason your good intentions keep getting derailed and how to finally shift into the version of you who follows through. I breaks down what “identity” really means in everyday life (without the woo woo), share my own real struggles, and give you a simple but powerful way to start closing the gap between who you say you want to be and who you actually choose to be. If you’ve ever felt stuck, this is the shift that changes everything.

If you’re in your 50s and lucky enough to still have your mom, you know the mix of gratitude and… complexity. 

There’s love, there’s history, and there might be a few emotional landmines left over from decades past. 

In this episode, I’m talking about why the mother-daughter relationship can be so layered at this stage of life, and how to protect it and yourself—without slipping back into toxic patterns.

We’ll dig into why things can feel more tender now, the most common triggers, and practical boundary tips that help you keep the love while losing the landmines.

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on a conversation that hit a nerve: 

I was told by my marketing team to look “less fit” in my ads—because apparently, women won’t buy from someone who looks too healthy or confident. 

Is that true? And if so, what does it say about how we see other women—and ourselves? 

In this episode, I’m unpacking why we’re conditioned to shrink, why we choose “safe” over “effective,” and what it really takes to stop apologizing for being too much.

Let’s be real—if men had hot flashes, hormonal weight gain, and full-body anxiety from fluctuating estrogen, there would be product lines, prime-time documentaries, and government-funded leave policies.

But women? We’re told to hydrate and “hang in there.

In this episode, I go on a well-deserved rant about what the world would look like if men had to navigate menopause—and how wild it is that women have been tolerating symptoms that wreck our sleep, mood, bodies, and confidence with barely any real support.

We’ll talk about:

• Why this isn’t about bashing men—but exposing the double standard

• How women have been taught to tolerate, minimize, and internalize their suffering

• What it actually looks like to advocate for yourself (without needing a megaphone)

• And the real reason “just eat less and move more” is complete BS in midlife

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re exhausted, resentful, and still being told it’s just part of aging—this one’s for you. Also, the new KICKSTART is here: https://go.loridoddy.com/metabolic-kickstart-vsl/

You’re eating healthy. You’re working out. You’re doing all the things.

So why does your body still feel stuck?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the #1 thing most women over 40 are missing when it comes to weight loss and metabolism — even if they think they’re already doing everything right.

We’ll talk about why “healthy habits” aren’t always helpful in midlife, what’s actually happening when your metabolism downshifts, and how to rebuild the trust your body needs to start responding again.

This isn’t about trying harder. 

It’s about finally doing what works for this season of life.

You’d never sell your dog to close a deal… right?

In this episode, I’m sharing a true story that stopped me in my tracks—about a real estate deal where a dog was part of the negotiation. And more importantly, what it got me thinking about.

Because while most of us wouldn’t sell our pets for comfort, convenience, or money… We do sell pieces of ourselves all the time.

Your time. Your health. Your boundaries. Your peace.

We trade them away—bit by bit—for temporary ease, approval, or to avoid discomfort. And over time, that trade leaves us feeling lost, exhausted, and disconnected from what actually matters.

So today we’re digging into the difference between what we say matters… And what we actually choose.

And I’m asking you: What’s your version of the dog? And are you unknowingly giving it away?
