Yesterday she was your partner. Today she feels like a stranger — and neither of you knows why. In this raw, zero-fluff conversation, menopause strategist and author Marjie Martini joins Brittany to pull back the curtain on the 10-to-15 year hormonal transition that's quietly dismantling midlife relationships.

Marjie shares her own harrowing journey — a menopause that started at 39, a misdiagnosis that nearly cost her life at 49, and the years of research that turned her into one of the few people helping women actually build a strategy for thriving after 40. Then she gets into the book that's putting her on the map: Men On Pause, a blunt, tactical manual co-written with relationship coach Shems Heartwell to help the men in our lives finally get it.

This one is for the women in the messy middle, and for every husband, brother, coworker, and friend who wants to show up better. It's about hormones, yes — but really it's about not losing yourself, not losing each other, and building the kind of community that carries us through the next 30 years.

Marjie Martini is a menopause strategist and the author of Men On Pause, a #1 Amazon bestseller in Men's Health. Drawing on 25 years in the beauty industry, four years working alongside hormone and regenerative-medicine specialists in Mexico, and her own decade-plus on bioidentical hormones, Marjie helps women over 40 cut through the noise and build a personalized strategy to feel like themselves again. Her mission is to bring menopause into the mainstream for both women and the men who love them — so relationships and community stay intact. She splits her time between Whistler, Canada and Sayulita, Mexico.

Welcome back to The Mom Sweat Sanity Podcast.

Today, we’re going into the vault and bringing back one of the conversations from earlier this year that I genuinely think is worth hearing again. Our most listened to in the first half of the year. 

My conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims.

If you know her work, you know the phrase: women are not small men. And this conversation was such an important reminder that the way we train, fuel, recover and take care of ourselves as women needs to actually reflect our physiology, and the season of life we're in.

And honestly, I think sometimes we hear something once, take what we need from it in that moment, and then six months later we hear it completely differently.

So whether you listened the first time or this is brand new to you, I wanted to bring this one back.

From the vault, here is my conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims.

No guest. No framework. No three neat takeaways. Just Brittany, in it — same as you.

It's been a while since a Weekly Mom Moment, and there's a reason for that. These episodes require actually sitting still with what's going on, and life has been full in a way that made stillness feel like a luxury. But the whole reason this podcast exists is to say the thing out loud so you don't feel crazy for feeling it too.

So this week, she's saying some things out loud.

The family back from Portugal — two weeks that were their son's grad trip, and a deliberate choice to give time instead of something you unwrap. Brittany gets honest about the myth that magical family moments just happen if you love your kids enough. They don't. You carve them out, you protect the calendar like it's a client meeting, and you have to be the one who sees the window closing. Nobody else is going to point it out.

She talks about the different dynamic of the trip — their son brought his girlfriend — and gives permission for the complicated flicker of feeling that comes with that. She talks about watching him be a partner to someone, a preview of the man he becomes when she's not in the room.

Then there's the tattoo. He got another one, and so much of it looks like hers. He told his dad he wanted pieces of it to reflect both relationships. He put his parents on his body, permanently, on purpose — at nineteen, when he doesn't have to make room for them in his story at all.

And right behind that honour comes the other feeling: he moves out again in under two weeks, and he'll be gone for eight months.

Brittany goes into the math she keeps doing that isn't helping. The sound of his footsteps on the stairs she didn't know she'd memorized. Their eldest daughter leaving next year. Being down to one kid in the house and sitting in her kitchen thinking, what is this life, where did this go?

And she talks about their youngest — going into tenth grade, still the funny, easy, happy one, but changing. The moments she goes quiet. The hugs she takes without explanation. The work of not chasing it, not filling the silence with twelve questions, and trusting she has good people in place and will come when she's ready.

This episode is about holding two things at once, which might be the entire skill of parenting teenagers. Grief and pride, in the same breath. Missing him and being thrilled for him. Loving that they're becoming their own people and quietly wishing for a few more years of them being hers.

If you're in this season — if you're staring down a kid leaving, watching one pull away, or just realizing your window is smaller than you thought — the ache isn't a sign you're doing it wrong. The ache is the receipt.

And if you're still in the hard early years and this feels like a distant problem: nobody's telling you to cherish every moment. Just that the time is the whole thing. It was always the time.

"The ache isn't a sign you're doing it wrong. The ache is the receipt."

"I'm not building memories for nostalgia. I'm building a family that they choose to keep coming back to."

"He put us on his body. On purpose. Permanently."

"Nobody is going to say, 'Hey, your window is closing, you should probably book something.' You have to be the one who sees the window."

"It's not managing anymore. It's being available."

"The goal was always to build someone who could leave."

"Boredom is underrated. Unstructured time with your teenagers is where the good stuff lives."

"The time is the whole thing. It was always the time."

Mama, if you've ever found yourself yelling and then spiraling in guilt afterward — this episode is going to feel like a giant, oxytocin-filled exhale. 💛

I sat down with Katherine Aucoin — a former therapist of 9 years who transitioned into trauma-informed parenting coaching because she realized moms didn't need more parenting books, Instagram scripts, or willpower. They needed to heal themselves first.

We get into the science of why you can decide in your head to stay calm and still explode — and it's not because you're a bad mom. It's because your nervous system is running the show, and no amount of memorized parenting phrases can override a body stuck in fight-or-flight.

Katherine walks us through:

This one is for the mom who's tried all the parenting books, saved all the reels, and still feels like she's failing. You're not. You just haven't been given the right entry point — and that entry point is you.

You Have Permission: Hormones, HRT & Everything You Weren't Told LIVE Panel Podcast

What happens when you put 100 women in one room and four of the most trusted voices in women's health on one stage? This.

Recorded live at Seymour Golf & Country Club, this episode of the Mom Sweat Sanity Podcast tackles the conversations we've been told to whisper about — hormones, HRT, weight, testosterone, and the permission every woman deserves to stop waiting for. Host Brittany Anderson opens with the belief that built this whole room: most of us are waiting for permission — to want more, to take up space, to ask for support — and everything shifts the moment we stop.

Then the panel goes there. Honestly, generously, and with a lot of laughter.

There's something powerful that happens on the flight home.

Not because the vacation is ending... but because your brain is finally processing everything you've experienced. The conversations. The slower pace. The new perspectives. The woman you became while you were away.

The question is...

What happens after you land?

In this solo episode, Brittany explores the viral "Return Flight Theory" and introduces a concept she's calling Drift Season—that quiet period where routines disappear, momentum fades, and before you know it, September arrives wondering where summer went.

This episode is your invitation to enter summer with intention instead of autopilot.

Inside you'll discover:

This isn't about doing more.

It's about becoming more intentional with the life you're already living.

Because summer doesn't have to be the season where you lose yourself.

It can be the season where you become even more of who you're meant to be.

Journal Prompts:

If this episode resonated with you, send Brittany a DM on Instagram and share your one intention for the summer. @BrittanyAndersonCoaching

Don't wait until September to become her. She's already here. Now go live like it.

Episode Title: Remember Your Why

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do isn't push harder—it's pause.

In this solo episode, recorded from a quiet morning in Portugal on Ryan's birthday, Brittany shares a personal reminder about slowing down, reconnecting with your purpose, and being fully present for the life you've worked so hard to build.

If you've been caught in the cycle of doing, achieving, and constantly thinking about what's next, this conversation is your invitation to get quiet, reflect, and remember your why.

Because the life you're building deserves to be lived—not just achieved.

From $2M to Burnout to "The Great Realignment": Anna Lozano on Doing Less & Building More

We spend so much time chasing the goal that nobody prepares us for the silence on the other side of it. 🤍

In this episode, Brittany reconnects with business mentor Anna Lozano — five years after their first conversation — for a raw, expansive talk about reinvention, identity, and what it really means to build a life (and business) that feels good, not just looks good.

Anna built a $2M network marketing business, then co-founded the affirmation brand Love Powered Co., scaled it to a successful exit… and then crashed into three years of grief, hives, and 75-minute daily meditations trying to answer one question: Who am I now?

This conversation is for the woman in her 40s quietly rewriting her own definition of success — the one who's exhausted by hustle culture and starting to wonder if she can actually do more by being more. 🌿

In this episode, we get into:

Whether you call it frequency, intuition, or just finally listening to yourself — this one's a tune-up for your whole self. 💫

You Can't Outrun Your Hormones: Peptides, Cardio Addiction & the Midlife Body Reset

What if the workouts that used to work for you are now the exact thing wrecking your hormones? Stephanie, founder of The Loop Way, joins Brittany to unpack the world of peptides, GLP-1s, and why so many midlife women feel like their bodies have suddenly stopped responding. After a ski accident at 47 forced her to surrender the cardio addiction she'd been using to numb a divorce, Stephanie discovered peptides — and built one of the fastest-growing peptide education and coaching companies in the wellness space. We're talking BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, micro-dosing GLP-1s, why cardio is canceling out your strength, and how to build your body up instead of breaking it down. This is the conversation every woman in her 40s and 50s needs to hear. 💛

You're doing everything "right" — strength training, hitting your protein, saying no to the wine — so why does it still feel off? This week Brittany sits down with Shannon Platt, women's health and performance coach (and former pelvic floor clinic owner) from the East Coast, for a refreshingly honest conversation about what actually makes women feel their best in their 40s and beyond.

Shannon gets real about the body-comp goal she nailed (19% body fat — leaner than ever) while missing her scale number entirely, the Mexico girls' trip that reset her relationship with perfectionism, and the blind spots she sees in nearly every client. Spoiler: it's not the protein you're missing — it's the carbs. From pelvic floor truths no one talks about, to lifting heavier than you think, to why a little novelty might be the most underrated wellness tool of all — this one's for every ambitious mom who's tired of white-knuckling her way through wellness. 💛
