Summary You know those Pinterest-perfect 5 AM routines that are supposed to transform your life? The ones designed to make 99% of women feel like failures by 6 AM? Yeah, those weren't built for actual humans with hormone fluctuations and a need for more than four hours of sleep. In this episode, I'm breaking down why most productivity advice is fundamentally broken for women in perimenopause and menopause — and what to do instead. Because here's the thing: rhythm is medicine. When you stop fi...
Summary I was staring at my perfectly organized calendar one Tuesday morning when it hit me: "Whose life is this?" Everything looked successful from the outside — business thriving, family healthy, all boxes checked. But inside? I felt like I was wearing a costume that no longer fit. If you've ever looked around at your successful life and thought "this doesn't feel like me anymore," this episode is for you. I'm diving deep into what I call the quiet identity crisis — that disorienting exper...
Summary I’ve seen it again and again — women (myself included) think we’re burnt out, when what’s really going on is misalignment. And if you try to treat misalignment like burnout, you just end up spinning your wheels. You rest, feel a little better, dive back in… and the flatness is still there. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why this distinction matters so much in perimenopause and menopause. Our biology won’t let us fake it anymore — what doesn’t fit becomes intolerable....
Episode Summary: This isn't just another conversation about productivity hacks and time management. In this episode, I'm sharing something that might sound radical but changes everything once you understand it: you can't scale a business from a dysregulated nervous system. Not because you're broken. Not because you need to try harder. But because the system we've been operating in was never designed to support the way our bodies and minds actually function—especially during perimenopause and ...
Episode Summary: This isn’t just another conversation about hot flashes and hormone levels. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something deeper—the quiet, invisible collapse happening inside high-achieving women during midlife. Not because they’re broken. Not because menopause is a problem to fix. But because the system we’ve been operating in was never built to support the way our bodies, minds, and souls evolve during this time. I’ll walk you through how so many of us silently...
In this raw, heart-led episode, I’m doing something different. No strategies. No updates. Just the truth. I’m sharing why I’ve chosen to pause—not quit, not disappear, but consciously step back to honour what my body, spirit, and nervous system are asking for. If you’ve ever felt the weight of pushing through when every part of you is calling for rest… this one’s for you. Let this be your permission slip to recalibrate, too. Want to dive deeper? Check out my free Masterclass: MASTERCLASS A...
Today’s episode is short but deeply from the heart. I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing what’s been quietly in the works behind the scenes: a new space for women like us who are navigating menopause and still feel called to do meaningful work in the world. I talk about the heartbreak of watching powerful women disappear from leadership roles because of burnout… and how that inspired me to create something new. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, questioning what’s next, or wondering w...
Let’s get honest—what if the exhaustion, fog, and resistance you’ve been feeling isn’t a sign you’re doing something wrong… but a sign that something deeper needs to shift? In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to lead from regulation instead of reactivity—and how to build a business that supports your nervous system instead of silently siphoning from it. I’ll walk you through the signs of quiet burnout that don’t show up in blood work, the truth about why your old business ...
Let’s be honest—there comes a moment when the business that once lit you up… just doesn’t fit anymore. It’s not broken. It’s not bad. But something in your body says, “this isn’t it.” And if you’re in perimenopause or the menopause transition, this feeling gets louder. In today’s episode, I’m sharing what it looked like for me to pivot—not because I was burned out or bored—but because my body, mission, and truth were asking for something deeper. I walk you through the moment I realized my bus...
What happens when the business you worked so hard to build starts to feel too small, too tight, or just… off? In this episode, I sit down with coach and therapist Anna Holtzman to explore what it really looks like to outgrow a version of your work—and what it takes to pivot toward something more aligned. Anna shares her deeply personal story of leaving a career in reality TV, navigating chronic migraines, and discovering that discomfort is often the signal that your purpose is evolving. You’l...
If you’ve ever been told, “Your labs look normal,” while your body is screaming otherwise—this episode is for you. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s really going on when you’re exhausted, foggy, and running on fumes during the menopause transition… even though your bloodwork says everything’s fine. We’ll talk about the biological, energetic, and emotional reasons why rest isn’t working the way it used to, why hustle is silently draining you, and why healing requires more than a su...
If you’ve been waking up foggy, tired, and disconnected—like your body, mind, and business are no longer in sync—this episode is for you. We're diving into what really happens during perimenopause and menopause that most people don’t talk about. Yes, hormones are part of it—but they’re not the whole story. I’m breaking down how burnout, brain fog, exhaustion, and low motivation are actually signs your nervous system is dysregulated and your old way of working no longer fits the woman you’re b...
In this inspiring crossover episode with Vanessa Hallux on her Paid to Be You podcast, we dive into the profound spiritual transformation that menopause offers. Together, we reframe menopause as a powerful rite of passage—a time for women to reclaim their power, embrace aging with confidence, and redefine their identities far beyond physical symptoms. I share my signature four-pillar framework—Rebalance, Reset, Reveal, and Revolutionize—that guides women through this transformative stage. We ...
In this episode I challenge the common perception that menopause symptoms are solely due to declining hormones. Instead, we talk about how the drop in hormones leads to deeper imbalances bubbling to the surface which fuel symptoms. One of the imbalances that is very common in menopasue and midlife is insulin resistance and it can fuel a lot of menopause symptoms. In this episode we talk about the role of insulin and the consequences of insulin resistance, and its links to various health...

In this episode, we dive into the importance of resilience during menopause. Many women don't realize just how much stress their bodies are under during this time of change. As we navigate the menopause transition, our ability to handle additional stress—like staying up late or eating at odd hours—can start to feel like it is taking a toll. What might have been easy to bounce back from in our younger years can now leave us feeling drained. But don’t worry! I’m sharing 3 simple hacks to help y...

Summary One in ten women cite menopause as the reason they're leaving the workforce — but I believe that number is much higher. Brilliant entrepreneurs, healers, and coaches are quietly shutting down their businesses because they "just can't do it anymore." But here's what nobody's telling you: you're not broken. You're being invited into the most powerful phase of your life. In this episode, I'm exposing the biggest cultural lies we've been sold about menopause and what it means for your pow...
