Feeling lost about menopause and hormonal care? You’re not alone. For too long, this important and disruptive time has been overlooked in both medicine and society.

For decades, the only option offered was synthetic hormone replacement. But today, more natural approaches are available—like bio-identical hormones, which research suggests may be more easily absorbed and supportive of mind, bones, and vitality.

On this week’s podcast, I...

Here's a question...

What happens when you're at the pinnacle of your career, sharing the stage as a professional cellist with the likes of the Eagles, Andrea Botticelli, and Lady Gaga, and yet something just isn't right? Cue the panic attacks, throwing up off stage and a general feeling of dread before a performance.

Do you pay attention to your own self-talk? 

You might be surprised that when you do, it's full of judgment not only of yourself but others you don't even know. A common pitfall of our judgment is around our aging bodies and minds, and it's deeply ingrained in our psyche from a young age. Because of this internalized ageism, we make assumptions about what age means, what it says about the aging population, a...

Let’s talk about taking big risks, shall we? 

They are terrifying! They trigger our primal brain so that we feel like we’re in real danger. It’s why most of us don’t take big risks or make big changes - because it stirs up all of the demons and fears we don’t normally deal with in our busy lives. But if there is a nagging feeling that something needs to change, and soon, chances are something needs to change soon! 

So today...

I've been percolating for a few years now on the gender roles not only in our society but in my home. So, when Gloria Steinem's 90th birthday rolled around in March, I knew it was a sign to do an episode on Modern Feminism. 

So many women besides Gloria have thrown their passion and voice into the conversation and because of this, so much has shifted in our favor over the last 60 years. There is still work to do,...

Here we are again, talking about money!

Why? It’s important because, for something we earn, touch, use, and interact with every day we sure have a hard time understanding how to make it work for us. For too many of us, especially women, it feels like we work for it but rarely feel we have any control over it. 

Let’s change that!
