Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like you’ve hit a wall lately?

You’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. In this episode of This Is Me at 50!, we’re talking about the mental overload so many women face in perimenopause… and why sometimes the way forward isn’t about finding the right answer—it’s about asking a better question. 

I’m sharing 4 of my go-to coaching questions that can shift your mindset, bring clarity, and help you move forward with more confidence and calm—without the pressure to do more or push harder.

If your to-do list feels the same but your capacity has changed, this one’s for you.

In this deeply candid and refreshingly real episode, I sit down with my husband Ryan to talk about a topic that doesn’t often get airtime — what it’s like to experience menopause from the other side.

Ryan opens up about our journey through perimenopause and menopause — the highs, the hard parts, and the moments that tested both of us. With honesty, humor, and heart, he shares what it felt like to navigate the emotional shifts, mood swings, and physical changes I was going through, and what he did to better understand and support me (even when he didn’t always get it right).

This is a must-listen for any partner wanting to show up more fully during “the change” — and for any woman who’s ever wondered, Does he even know what I’m going through?

Whether you’re in it, approaching it, or supporting someone through it, Ryan’s perspective offers insight, empathy, and a whole lot of real talk.

… these are the hardest episodes for me to share but mean the most 

2024 was a crazy, unexpected, entirely “off the path of a normal” year for me. There were moments of extreme humbling. It was difficult. There were times I felt more alone than I had in years. I questioned so many things about myself. It tested me in ways I didn't think I was prepared for. It taught me lessons I didn't know I needed to learn. It was hard and uncomfortable but also very, very FUN! 

What I didn't see coming- and what I tackled this year - was a season of growing. A year of learning lessons and finding a way to root myself in a new me. I didn't see it coming- but I am incredibly glad it happened.

This year, I tapped into 

·        Grit that I never knew I had

·        Mindset that I thought would waver but didn't 

·        And a reality that life is about being present and showing up as me- authentically me - and when I did that, it equated to showing up for everyone around me in a new and better way as well. 

Today I'm sharing my very vulnerable lessons from 2024 in the hope they help spark something for you that helps you in your journey too. 

·        How I rewrote the script for the voice in my head

·        How I redefined the power of my circle

·        How I dove deeper and found my grit. 

In accomplishing these feats - learning my value - and understanding that just being authentically me- is exactly where and who I'm supposed to be.

Over the past 6 years, I've learned in my health coaching practice that for so many women, there's great confusion around what triggers hormone imbalances. So today, we're talking about the gut/hormone connection because when your gut gets wonky so do your hormones.  Your hormones will never be balanced if you have underlying digestive and gut issues.  Gut health as it relates to hormone balance is my biggest passion, from personal experience as well as for my clients. Many challenges we put in the “hormone imbalance” category are driven by gut imbalances- and to heal your gut means healing those symptoms.  

·        UTI’s

·        PMS symptoms

·        Constipation or Diarrhea

·        Autoimmune conditions

·        Chronic Fatigue

·        Brain Fog

·        Insulin Resistance

·        Bloating

This episode is part 1 of a two-part series. In the next episode, I’m going to talk about my gut/hormone reset (which I will be offering as an online January group program). I’ll talk at length about an Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition plan, Supplementation, Smart Lifestyle Changes and Strategies- but today I want to break down what’s going on in your body and what’s keeping you in a state of imbalance and frustration.

This episode is all about Mindset-a crazy, fuzzy, ambiguous word that gets thrown around a lot. Mindset, in my definition, is how we approach problem solving in our life.  That's it- Mindset -how we approach problem solving. Where your head is at determines A LOT!! 

You cannot balance your hormones when your daily habits and your mindset are the actual reason your hormones are anything but balanced to begin with. 

Let’s do the work of getting your mindset to place that it becomes your biggest cheerleader. That voice in your head that sees your potential and is 100% committed to helping you get there so once and for all you can start tackling

• the sleepless nights
• the crazy food cravings
• the hot flashes
• the bloating
• the mood rollercoaster
• weight loss resistance

One of the coolest parts of watching your kids grow up is when they start to become young adults, and you begin having conversations with them where you feel like you don't have to be wearing the parent hat.

You get to talk with them as the incredible young adults they are becoming. The conversations become two-way conversations and if you're listening and paying attention, you start to learn a whole lot about what's going on in their world and how you've influenced them. 

So here we go. Here's one of those really cool conversations that I had with my daughter Greta the week before she heads back for her second year of college. We hit on periods, training bras, body image, laundry, life lessons, all the things... I hope you enjoy it. I know I'm a little partial, but I think she's pretty dang incredible.
