Description

Midlife hit, the filter broke, and the truth started swinging. From menopause to alcoholism and sobriety, to identity and the mess we all pretend we’re not drowning in — she’s finally saying everything women were taught to swallow. And the guests? Bold, brilliant, and absolutely ready to say the quiet parts out loud. 


Imagine what beautiful things could happen if we all chose to be vulnerable. If we all decided to be BRAVE, to start SHARING our personal stories OUT LOUD, because we knew it could help someone else who is going through the same thing.


Want to be a part of the SHARING OUT LOUD movement? I want to hear from you! Please message me on Instagram @heathermdanby and of course, give me a follow!

Because midlife doesn’t need a makeover; it needs a microphone! And it also needs LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of women talking about it, sometimes for hours at a time😘. So, what happens when women drop the polite, watered-down version of midlife and finally say what’s actually going on? Magic. Truth. Relief. And a whole lot of “Why did no one tell me this sooner?” That’s exactly what unfolded during the very first Midlife Table Talk—a raw, unrushed, radically honest roundtable hosted by me and Ang...
In this enlightening episode, I had the privilege of speaking with the brilliant Dr. Kim Johnson Hatchett, a board-certified neurologist, author, and motivational speaker. Together, we dove into the fascinating interplay between brain health and hormonal changes during menopause, uncovering how this life stage impacts cognitive function and overall well-being. Dr. Hatchett shared her expertise on how hormonal shifts during menopause influence brain chemistry, potentially affecting memory, fo...
Meet Kelli O'Dell, a 67-year-old woman on FIRE to talk about menopause and HRT, because "no one is ever too old to rise". In this episode, we sit down for an intimate, no-nonsense conversation about what it really means to start hormone replacement therapy later in life. From gaslighting in the medical system to the moment she finally said enough, her story is raw, honest, and wildly empowering. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “too old” to ask for what your body needs, this conve...
Today’s conversation is one you won’t forget. I’m sitting down with Andryea Natkin — a 73-year-old ceramic artist who’s fighting for her right to access the hormones she deserves. Andryea is on a mission — a fierce, unapologetic mission. She’s tenacious. She’s brave. And she’s absolutely not taking no for an answer. Because here’s the truth: whether you’re just beginning your perimenopause journey or you were denied hormones years ago because of the falsely reported WHI study — you dese...
Dr. Noor Al-Humaidhi, aka Dr. Noor, is a women’s health physician who offers menopause treatment and wellness services tailored specifically to women. Driven by her own experience, she founded Lifestyles to empower women through perimenopause and menopause with real education, data-backed strategies, and personalized care.

🎙️ The Real Girls Guide to Over 55 with Angela Burk I met Angela in the comments section of Instagram while going down the rabbit hole of everything menopause. Something about her instantly stood out — her humor, her honesty, her unapologetic confidence. Within minutes, I knew I didn’t just need to talk with her — we needed to be friends. Angela is the real deal — smart, funny, and unfiltered. She’s here to spill the truth about everything from her own menopause journey — what she’s learned, ...
Meet Fliss Holyle, born and raised — and still living — in the UK. At just 17, her world was turned upside down after a horrific car accident that set off a chain reaction of mental and physical health challenges. What followed was years of battling depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and an eating disorder — and later, a severe medication reaction that triggered bipolar disorder and led to her first stay in a psychiatric hospital. For the next sixteen years, Fliss had to rebuild herself, pi...
Hormones and sobriety — guess what they have in common?!!! You've got just me talking today from a recent Instagram LIVE. Let's dive in! 1. Just like sobriety, hormone health requires ongoing attention, monitoring, and support. Ignoring either one can set us back. 2. Our bodies change, our needs shift — which means treatment and support must evolve too. 3. Community, education, and ongoing care are the pillars of both hormone health and sobriety. 4. Neither is a quick fix. Both are lifelo...
You’re Going to Love Today’s Guest! This week, I’m beyond honored to welcome the magnificent Katherine Rhadans to the podcast! You may know her as the brilliant and HILARIOUS mind behind “No Wine in the Carpool Line” (don’t worry—we get into how that gem came to be), but there’s so much more to this fierce, funny, and fearless woman. Katherine is almost 12 years sober, a mother of five, a prominent voice in the quit lit community, and living proof that you can rewrite your story—even after ad...
Welcome to the show! Today we’re joined by Dr. Jacci Tomsic, a highly accomplished oral and maxillofacial surgeon who’s blazing trails in a field still largely dominated by men. Dr. Tomsic is passionate about serving her community (Cleveland, OH)!) —not just through surgery, but through genuine connection.

This is a re-release from my badass friend, Andy Matthews Helander — and trust me, it’s a MUST LISTEN. Lies, deceit, gaslighting, and then Andy’s life was flipped upside down -- her husband announced they were getting divorced. What followed? — the kind of emotional chaos that feels more like a true crime series than real life. But Andy didn’t stay down for long. She made a bold decision to reclaim her power and applied to the Wonderwomen coaching program. After a rigorous application process...

🎙️ Re-Release: A Must-Listen Conversation with Becky Parker This episode is a re-release, but with a twist—it's a trimmed-down version that puts the spotlight right where it belongs: on Becky Parker. When I first recorded this, I was still finding my rhythm as a host (and probably talked a little too much 😅). Since then, I’ve learned a lot—and this conversation deserves to be heard with full focus on the absolute fire Becky brings. Becky is a certified life success coach and practitioner, and...
RE-RELEASE! A shortened version of my amazing conversation with Kiki❤️ Kiki Hurwitt is an absolute powerhouse I discovered on the 'gram. I reached out to her because I wanted to hear the story behind the face in her “before” photos from 2020. What pushed her to take control of her health—her life? What I wasn’t prepared for was the raw honesty of her journey—how her unhealthy relationship with alcohol began, and what it took to break free. I wasn’t prepared for a lot of this conversation, a...
