If you’ve ever felt like your worth is tied to how much you achieve—or that leadership is just one more weight on your already overfull shoulders—this episode is for you.

In this conversation, Traci Peterson sits down with April Diaz, a holistic leadership expert, to talk about why women in leadership often feel stretched thin, undervalued, and exhausted. Together, they uncover the truth: real leadership doesn’t come from hustling harder, it comes from alignment across every part of your life.

April introduces her six-dimensional framework for holistic leadership—physical, emotional, mental, relational, spiritual, and renewal. Each dimension reveals both the pitfalls women fall into and the keys to reclaiming strength, joy, and purpose in their leadership journey.

You’ll hear them unpack why physical well-being is foundational (yes, even hydration and breath work), how stress sneaks in and sabotages your confidence, and why so many women still struggle to be assertive in leadership roles. They also shine a light on the biblical word “Azer”—a reminder that leadership is not about doing it all alone, but about strength and partnership.

By the end, you’ll be reminded that leadership isn’t reserved for titles or positions. Every woman is leading somewhere—whether in her home, her career, or her community—and small intentional changes can unlock profound transformation.

Are you tired of feeling like your body is betraying you—foggy brain, mood swings, what used to work to maintain your weight/body composition isn't working anymore or that sense of “something’s off” that no one seems to take seriously? In this episode, Traci Peterson sits down with Tasha to uncover what most women are never told about navigating perimenopause and menopause.

They dive into why so many women are misdiagnosed—or worse, dismissed—and how hormone replacement therapy can be a game-changer when approached proactively. You’ll hear Tasha’s raw and honest story of moving from exhaustion and disconnection to renewed energy, clarity, and even a deeper intimacy in her marriage through hormone therapy.

This conversation is a reminder that suffering is not your only option. You don’t have to settle for “normal” when optimal is available. If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to health than just pushing through, this episode will equip you to recognize early signs of hormonal shifts, advocate for your body, and step into a new season of strength, vitality, and freedom.
